Not all Republicans are Conservatives, and all Conservatives are not Republicans, which is a rather interesting statement in the case of Elo Musk and his H1-B visa stand. Musk is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, who is taking over the reigns of leadership from January 20, and has placed the Tesla CEO as the co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Along with Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk will be scrutinizing excess government spending and will also be chalking out ways to curb them.

However, even before Trump ascends to the thrown, all hell has broken loose, with Musk and Trump's supporters currently at loggerheads, based on the Tesla CEO's stance regarding H-1B visa. Musk is of the opinion that the US needs more skilled labor and for this purpose, the government needs to relax travel and immigration for some cases. However, conservatives within the Trump faction are raising a loud cry about Musk's opinion ad claiming that the US has enough local manpower to suffice by its own. Musk has now retaliated to these thoughts by stating that 'hateful unrepentant racists’ must be removed from the Republican Party , and this reformation should happen at the earliest. It is yet to be seen how far this visa feud will go, and who else gets stuck in the middle of this. FAQs: Which companies does Elon Musk own?

Poulin has game winner as Montreal Victoire tops Minnesota Frost 3-2 for 3rd straight win
Words on ammo in CEO shooting echo common phrase on insurer tactics: Delay, deny, defend A message left at the scene of an insurance executive’s fatal shooting echoes a phrase commonly used to describe insurer tactics to avoid paying claims. The words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” were written on the ammunition used to kill UnitedHealthcare's CEO. That's according to two officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday. The words are similar to the phrase “delay, deny, defend.” That's how attorneys describe insurers denying services and payment, and the title of a 2010 book critical of the industry. Police haven’t officially commented on the words. But Thompson’s shooting and the messages on the ammunition have sparked outrage on social media and elsewhere, reflecting frustration Americans have over the cost and complexity of getting care. Bitcoin has surpassed the $100,000 mark as the post-election rally continues. What's next? NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin has topped the $100,000 mark, extending a rally in the world’s most popular cryptocurrency sparked by the election of Donald Trump. The milestone comes just hours after the president-elect signaled a lighter regulatory approach to the crypto industry with his choice of crypto advocate Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Bitcoin has soared to unprecedented heights since Trump won the election Nov. 5. The cryptocurrency has climbed dramatically from $69,374 on Election Day and rose to more than $103,000 before falling back below $100,000 by Thursday afternoon. US judge rejects Boeing's plea deal in a conspiracy case stemming from fatal plane crashes DALLAS (AP) — A federal judge has rejected a deal that would have allowed Boeing to plead guilty to a felony conspiracy charge and pay a fine for misleading U.S. regulators about the 737 Max jetliner before two of the planes crashed, killing 346 people. The ruling on Thursday by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas creates uncertainty around the criminal prosecution of the aerospace giant in connection with the development of its bestselling airline plane. O’Connor’s decision was almost certain to please many relatives of the passengers who died in the crashes, which took place off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia less than five months apart. McKinsey subsidiary will pay $122M for scheme to bribe South African officials, US says WASHINGTON (AP) — An African subsidiary of the consulting firm McKinsey & Company Inc. will pay a criminal penalty of more than $122 million to resolve a U.S. Justice Department investigation into a yearslong scheme to bribe South African government officials. The Justice Department says the scheme involved bribes to officials with South Africa’s state-owned and state-controlled custodian of ports, rails, and pipelines, as well as its state-controlled energy company. It netted McKinsey Africa and its parent company $85 million in profits between 2012 and 2016, officials said. McKinsey said in a statement that it “welcomes the resolution of these matters and the closure of this regretful situation.” EPA hails 'revitalized' enforcement efforts as Biden administration heads to exit WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency says it concluded more than 1,850 civil cases this year, a 3.4% increase over 2023, and charged 121 criminal defendants, a 17.6% increase over the previous year. The agency also issued $1.7 billion in financial penalties, more than double last year's total. Thursday's report was the final one account of Biden-era enforcement actions before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. Enforcement efforts included first-ever criminal charges for a California man accused of smuggling climate-damaging air coolants into the United States. Engine maker Cummins Inc. paid more than $2 billion in fines and penalties after it was found to use illegal software to skirt diesel emissions tests. Work-life balance isn't working for women. Why? NEW YORK (AP) — About half of working women reported feeling stressed “a lot of the day,” compared to about 4 in 10 men, according to a Gallup report published Wednesday. The report suggests that competing demands of work and home comprise part of the problem: working women who are parents or guardians are more likely than men who are parents to say they have declined or delayed a promotion at work because of personal or family obligations, and mothers are more likely than fathers to “strongly agree” that they are the default responders for unexpected child care issues. But changing workplace culture and prioritizing well-being can improve the problem, according to Karen Guggenheim, creator of the World Happiness Summit. From outsider to the Oval Office, bitcoin surges as a new administration embraces crypto NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin burst on the scene after trust had withered in the financial system and Washington’s ability to protect people from it. Now, it’s Washington’s embrace of bitcoin that’s sending it to records. Bitcoin briefly surged above $103,000 after President-elect Donald Trump said he will nominate Paul Atkins, who's seen as friendly to crypto, to be the Securities and Exchange Commission's next chair. The crypto industry, meanwhile, did its part to bring politicians friendly to digital currencies into Washington. It's a twist from bitcoin's early days, when it was lauded as a kind of electronic cash that wouldn’t be beholden to any government or financial institution. Stock market today: Wall Street edges back from its records as bitcoin briefly pops above $100,000 NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks edged back from their records as Wall Street counted down to a big jobs report that’s coming on Friday. The S&P 500 fell 0.2% Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.2% from its own all-time high. The crypto market had more action, and bitcoin briefly burst to a record above $103,000 before falling back toward $99,000. It's climbed dramatically since Election Day on hopes President-elect Donald Trump will be more friendly to crypto. Airline stocks were strong, while Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. Key members of OPEC+ alliance are putting off production increases amid slack crude prices FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries have decided to put off increasing oil production as they face weaker than expected demand and competing production from non-allied countries — factors that could keep oil prices stagnant into next year. The OPEC+ members decided at an online meeting to postpone by three months production increases that had been scheduled to take effect Jan. 1. The plan had been to start gradually restoring 2.2 million barrels per day over the course of 2025. That process will now be pushed back to April 1, 2025 and production increases will gradually take place over 18 months until October 2026. Fox News loses bid for Smartmatic voting-tech company's records about Philippines bribery case NEW YORK (AP) — Smartmatic does not need to give Fox News any information about U.S. federal charges against the voting machine company’s co-founder over alleged bribery in the Philippines. A New York judge on Thursday also turned down Smartmatic’s request to question two Fox Corp. board members. It already has questioned others. Smartmatic is suing Fox News for $2.7 billion. The election-technology company says its business was gutted when Fox aired false claims that Smartmatic helped rig the 2020 vote. Fox says it was just reporting on newsworthy allegations. Fox maintains the Philippines bribery allegations are pertinent to Smartmatic’s business prospects and claims of losses. Florida-based Smartmatic isn’t charged in the criminal case and says it's irrelevant in the defamation suit.

The slight uptick in the CPI can be attributed to several factors, including an increase in food prices and transportation costs.

Additionally, rising fuel prices and increased logistics costs contributed to the overall uptick in the CPI.As the situation in Syria continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: the Israeli airstrikes have once again highlighted the fragile nature of the peace in the region. With multiple actors with competing interests and agendas involved in the conflict, the path to a lasting resolution remains elusive. The international community must redouble its efforts to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict and prevent further escalation that could have devastating consequences for the people of Syria and the broader Middle East.Recent reports suggest that Arsenal are considering bolstering their options on the left wing, with manager Mikel Arteta keen to add more attacking firepower to his squad. The left winger position has been a problematic area for the Gunners this season, with the likes of Nicolas Pepe and Bukayo Saka failing to consistently deliver in terms of goals and assists.
The decision to limit simultaneous streaming to one device for Tencent Video VIP members comes as a surprise to many subscribers who have enjoyed the convenience of watching content on multiple devices simultaneously. This change is likely driven by the increasing demand for high-quality streaming content and the need to manage server capacity effectively, especially during peak hours. By restricting the number of devices that can access VIP content simultaneously, Tencent Video aims to optimize the viewing experience for all subscribers and ensure smooth streaming services.It is crucial to note that Hisense Group Brand Department has consistently demonstrated strong performance and solid results in recent years.

Looking back, it is clear that there were warning signs that all was not well with the referee. His increasingly erratic behavior on the pitch, coupled with reports of his lavish lifestyle off it, should have raised red flags. Perhaps if more attention had been paid to these warning signs, his downward spiral could have been averted.TAMPA, Fla.
