Daily Post Nigeria Trump begins efforts to end Ukraine, Russian war Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport News Trump begins efforts to end Ukraine, Russian war Published on November 23, 2024 By John Owen Nwachukwu United States President-elect, Donald Trump, is considering appointing his former intelligence chief, Richard Grenell, as special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Guardian UK reports. The newspaper quoted four sources familiar with the transition plans. Grenell served as Trump’s ambassador to Germany and was acting director of national intelligence during his first four years in office between 2017-2021. He would play a key role in the President-elect’s efforts to stop the war if he is ultimately selected for the post. Trump is said to be considering dedicating a special envoy to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The US President-elect could ultimately decide not to create a special envoy for the conflict in Ukraine, although he is strongly considering doing so, the sources said. If he does, he could ultimately select someone else for the role, and there is no guarantee Grenell would accept. Trump vowed on the campaign trail to swiftly end the conflict, although he has not said how he will do it.

Title: Tencent Video Downgrades VIP Membership to Simultaneous Streaming on One Device, Retaining Existing Benefits for Long-time MembersFolks reported strange things in a New York town in 1945, right after the government announced an experiment adding tiny amounts of fluoride to the municipal drinking water. “Dozens of Newburgh residents called the water department to complain that the water was discoloring their saucepans, hurting the flavor of carbonated beverages and causing digestive upsets,” the Washington Evening Star reported on Feb. 22, 1951. One Newburgh resident demanded restitution from the city, claiming her false teeth dissolved overnight in a glass of tap water. The same thing happened in North Carolina, where residents of Charlotte flooded the city water department with complaints of illness not long after the water fluoridation program was announced there in 1949. All of these complaints? They came before the fluoride had actually been added to the water. The callers had only heard this would happen. Newspapers described it as something used in some insecticides, but didn’t mention that it is a mineral naturally occurring in water and soil. “By the time the compound was put in,” the Evening Star wrote, “... complaints had ceased.” And so began the fluoride wars, a decades-long battle of science, urban myth, emotion and passionate division. It’s a public debate that has invoked Nazis and Communists, mind control, public poisoning and civil rights. And with President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who promises to end fluoridation of public water — to his Cabinet, it’s part of today’s politics. Tooth decay had long been a profound public health issue in America. “Not one person in 10 had a mouth full of teeth,” Willard VerMeulen told The Washington Post in a 1988 interview when he described his dental practice in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the 1930s. The dentist went on to describe the Saturday morning routine of extracting scores of rotten teeth from the mouths of children. Grand Rapids became the first U.S. city to try adding fluoride to its drinking water in 1945. In the 1940s, bad teeth was the top reason the Selective Service booted aspiring soldiers from the Army. About 17% of recruits didn’t have “six opposing teeth,” according to the American Dental Association. By then, American scientists researching fluoride believed they may have come across a simple antidote for better dental health. It began in 1901, when a dental school graduate from the East Coast headed west to open his first practice and was startled by the pronounced brown stains on the teeth of his patients in Colorado Springs. Curiously, Frederick McKay observed that the folks with “Colorado Brown Stain” had otherwise remarkably healthy teeth. McKay began researching this, and was joined by others hopscotching from Colorado to Idaho to Arkansas, following reports of other brown-toothed children. The answer finally came exactly 30 years after he met his first mottled tooth. The chief chemist at a company in Pennsylvania, exhausted after years refuting claims that aluminum cookware was poisonous, tested a water sample from one of the brown-tooth towns and found high levels of fluoride. The early research focused on how to reduce the fluoride levels on some water sources across the nation. The idea was to get rid of the brown stains, the result of over-fluoridation called fluorosis. “Scrub, Scrub, Scrub, Just Like Tub,” read the headline of a 1941 story in the Albuquerque Tribune advising people of ways to eliminate the stains. Eventually, H. Trendley Dean, head of the Dental Hygiene Unit at the National Institutes of Health, homed in on the benefits of the fluoride and sought to determine levels that strengthened the teeth but didn’t stain them. The Grand Rapids experiment was his first chance to try this out. Within 11 years of the 15-year experiment, the level of tooth damage from decay dropped by 60% among the city’s children, according to the National Institutes of Health. As other municipalities began adding fluoride to the public water supply, studies continued to show improvement in children’s dental health. The fear of fluoridation, however, began to bloom. “The German chemists (under Hitler) worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass control,” read one of the many letters opposing fluoridation that were published by the Hartford Courant in February 1955. A reader in the Chippewa Herald-Telegram in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, urged editors that same year to alert FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover that fluoridation programs should count as an “attempt at poisoning the public water supplies.” Historians have debunked the myth of Nazi involvement, and scientists have knocked down scores of theories centering on singular and weird examples of health issues. The growing dissent may have had something to do with that moment in American culture. Widespread fluoridation was beginning as part of the “long list of social developments that swept into the public conscience on the wings of scientific achievement,” R. Allan Freeze and Jay H. Lehr wrote in their 2009 book, “The Fluoride Wars: How a Modest Public Health Measure Became America’s Longest-Running Political Melodrama.” The authors drew parallels between this public division and the development of nuclear power and the widespread development of genetically altered food. “Like the pasteurization of milk and the iodization of salt, fluoridation was delivered publicly rather than privately,” they wrote. “Those that wished to avoid the governmental benevolence had to work to do so.” As hundreds of studies were published establishing the dental benefits of fluoride and debunking medical concerns, the nation continued to see hundreds of votes, lawsuits and legislative battles over the practice. A Canadian paper, the Kingston Whig-Standard, boiled the conflict down in a 1972 editorial that said, “This is not a public-health issue. It is a civil rights issue.” NIH calls it an “achievement ranking with the other great preventive health measures of our century.”Joe Biden begins final White House holiday season with turkey pardons for 'Peach' and 'Blossom' WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has kicked off his final holiday season at the White House, issuing the traditional reprieve to two turkeys who will bypass the Thanksgiving table to live out their days in Minnesota. The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Later Monday, first lady Jill Biden will receive delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens will travel to New York to help serve a holiday meal at a Coast Guard station. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by announcing plans Monday to hand more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. Bah, humbug! Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year.

A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes. New Zealanders save more than 30 stranded whales by lifting them on sheets WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — More than 30 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand have been safely returned to the ocean after conservation workers and residents helped to refloat them by lifting them on sheets. New Zealand’s conservation agency said four whales died. New Zealand is a whale stranding hotspot and pilot whales are especially prolific stranders. The agency praised as “incredible” the efforts made by hundreds of people to help save the foundering pod. A Māori cultural ceremony for the three adult whales and one calf that died in the stranding took place Monday. Rainbow-clad revelers hit Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s pride parade RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Thousands of revelers have gathered alongside Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s annual gay pride parade, many scantily dressed and covered in glitter. Rainbow-colored flags, towels and fans abounded among the crowd mostly made up of young revelers, who danced and sang along to music blaring from speakers. While the atmosphere was festive, some spoke of the threat of violence LGBTQ+ people face in Brazil. At least 230 LGBTQ+ Brazilians were victims of violent deaths in 2023, according to the umbrella watchdog group Observatory of LGBTQ+ deaths and violence in Brazil. Stolen shoe mystery solved at Japanese kindergarten when security camera catches weasel in the act TOKYO (AP) — Police thought a shoe thief was on the loose at a kindergarten in southwestern Japan, until a security camera caught the furry culprit in action. A weasel with a tiny shoe in its mouth was spotted on the video footage after police installed three cameras in the school in the prefecture of Fukuoka. “It’s great it turned out not to be a human being,” said Deputy Police Chief Hiroaki Inada. Teachers and parents had feared it could be a disturbed person with a shoe fetish. Japanese customarily take their shoes off before entering homes. The vanished shoes were all slip-ons the children wore indoors, stored in cubbyholes near the door. Social media sites call for Australia to delay its ban on children younger than 16 MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An advocate for major social media platforms has told Australia's Parliament that a plan to ban children younger than 16 from the sites should be delayed rather than being rushed to approval this week. Sunita Bose is managing director of Digital Industry Group Inc. which is an advocate for the digital industry in Australia including X, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. She was answering questions on Monday at a single-day Senate committee hearing into world-first legislation that was introduced into the Parliament last week. Bose said the Parliament should wait until the government-commissioned evaluation of age assurance technologies is completed next year.

Her time on I’m a Celebrity is seen as a testing ground for her potential to become the next major ITV personality, comparable to Holly Willoughby. ITV is eyeing her for lucrative hosting roles and shows backed by advertisers who value her ability to drive consumer trends (the "Coleen Effect"). A TV insider said: “She has over a million followers on Instagram alone, and most of them scan her pictures and observe everything she wears and buys. “But Coleen has the girl-next-door charm of someone like Holly to connect with millions of ordinary shoppers in a way that few other stars do. “But they’ll also be watching her time in the jungle to see how she fares and just what the public reaction is to her. “There are vast sums of money at stake with the deals for the new batch of ITV shows which they are considering her up for.” Mum-of-four Coleen, wife of former England footie skipper Wayne Rooney, past work in television and her successful Disney+ documentary have further bolstered her credentials, making her a strong candidate for future ITV projects like panelist roles or headline shows.
