Portola coach Peter Abe says his team continued to work hard despite rough start and the payoff has been a chance to play in the Division 11 final.Mexican president to Trump: Guns, ‘demand for drugs’ to blame for border woesCLEVELAND, Ohio — A starter in the St. Edward defensive backfield since his sophomore season, Bradley Eaton has played a significant role in two of the three Eagles state championship runs. A former state wrestling champion, Eaton has been a sure tackler for the Eagles' defense with more than 100 in both his sophomore and junior year respectively. But this season, in his senior year, Eaton has added more to his plate. On top of his duties at safety, Eaton, with no prior experience, has been starting at running back for the Eagles since the last few weeks of the regular season. “I think the coolest thing about St. Ed’s is we got so many guys who can make plays everywhere,” Eaton said. “Sometimes your number gets called, you’re not expecting it, and you got to step into a role, but we got the guys to do it. I think that’s what’s special about special about St. Ed’s.” Eaton stepped into the role of running back out of necessity. Brandon White opened the season as the Eagles' starter after earning the job last year, but he’s been out with an injury since Week 3. Tyrese Buchanan picked up a lot of the slack in the weeks that followed before Eaton and Zack Hackleman found themselves taking the lion’s share of the carries. Well, Hackleman went down with an injury too, and Eaton, as well as starting linebacker turned power back Nate Gregory, have stepped up in a major way in response. “That’s senior leadership,” Eagles head coach Tom Lombardo said. “It’s their time. And you know, three year starters like that, Eaton, Gregory, and the others, Thomas Csanyi, they’re not going to go down.” They certainly didn’t go down in Friday’s Division I, Region 1 final. The Eagles kept their four-peat hopes alive with a 13-7 win against Mentor in that one, and Eaton had himself a day. He finished the night with 19 carries for 181 yards and TDs of 80 and 68 yards apiece, while playing nearly every offensive and defensive snap of the game. “The line did great blocking in front of me, and once you get to the second level, it’s kind of gets into my hand,” Eaton said. “Gotta make a couple guys miss, and then just turn on the jets and bring it home for the team.” Eaton went into the regional final with 80 carries for 427 yards and seven TDs, including a 157-yard three total TD day against St. Ignatius. He’s also got 124 yards and six receiving TDs on 13 receptions this season and that’s just offense. Prior to the regional final Eaton had 74 total tackles (43 solo), nine pass breakups, two picks, a blocked punt, which was recovered for a TD , and the Eagles' lone kick return TD of the season. After losing three All-Ohioan on their offensive line it says a lot about the Eagles that they have made it back to this point of the year. St. Edward went 5-5 in the regular season, but 4-0 this postseason is the only thing they care about. “Coming into the playoffs, I felt like our team had a lot left to prove. I mean, we were 5-5, but we played one of the toughest schedules in the country, in my opinion, and I just felt like we have a lot left to prove,” Eaton said. “I still think we got a lot left to prove, but it’s starting to show on the field.” With just one game separating the Eagles from a shot at the four-peat they have shown they’ll do what ever it takes.

Green Bay Packers Legend Brett Favre Reveals Bold Take About Aaron Rodgers
JERUSALEM — Israel approved a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement with Lebanon's Hezbollah on Tuesday, setting the stage for an end to nearly 14 months of fighting linked to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. In the hours leading up to the Cabinet meeting, Israel carried out its most intense wave of strikes in Beirut and its southern suburbs and issued a record number of evacuation warnings. At least 24 people were killed in strikes across the country, according to local authorities, as Israel signaled it aims to keep pummeling Hezbollah in the final hours before any ceasefire takes hold. Israel's security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday after it was presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his office said. U.S. President Joe Biden, speaking in Washington, called the agreement “good news” and said his administration would make a renewed push for a ceasefire in Gaza. An Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire would mark the first major step toward ending the regionwide unrest triggered by Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. But it does not address the devastating war in Gaza. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to bring peace to the Middle East, but neither he nor Netanyahu have proposed a postwar solution for the Palestinian territory, where Hamas is still holding dozens of hostages and the conflict is more intractable. Still, any halt to the fighting in Lebanon is expected to reduce the likelihood of war between Israel and Iran, which backs both Hezbollah and Hamas and exchanged direct fire with Israel on two occasions earlier this year. Smoke rises following an Israeli airstrike on Dahiyeh, in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024. Netanyahu presented the ceasefire proposal to Cabinet ministers after a televised address in which he listed a series of accomplishments against Israel’s enemies across the region. He said a ceasefire with Hezbollah would further isolate Hamas in Gaza and allow Israel to focus on its main enemy, Iran, which backs both groups. “If Hezbollah breaks the agreement and tries to rearm, we will attack,” he said. “For every violation, we will attack with might.” Netanyahu's office later said Israel appreciated the U.S. efforts in securing the deal but "reserves the right to act against every threat to its security.” It was not immediately clear when the ceasefire would go into effect, and the exact terms of the deal were not released. The deal calls for a two-month initial halt in fighting and would require Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops would return to their side of the border. Thousands of additional Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers would deploy in the south, and an international panel headed by the United States would monitor all sides’ compliance. But implementation remains a major question mark. Israel has demanded the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations. Lebanese officials have rejected writing that into the proposal. Biden said Israel reserved the right to quickly resume operations in Lebanon if Hezbollah breaks the terms of the truce, but that the deal "was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Hezbollah has said it accepts the proposal, but a senior official with the group said Tuesday that it had not seen the agreement in its final form. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Al Jazeera news network. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state” of Lebanon, he said. “Any violation of sovereignty is refused.” Even as Israeli, U.S, Lebanese and international officials have expressed growing optimism over a ceasefire, Israel has continued its campaign in Lebanon, which it says aims to cripple Hezbollah’s military capabilities. An Israeli strike on Tuesday leveled a residential building in the central Beirut district of Basta — the second time in recent days warplanes have hit the crowded area near the city’s downtown. At least seven people were killed and 37 wounded, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs killed at least one person and wounded 13, it said. Three people were killed in a separate strike in Beirut and three in a strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. Lebanese state media said another 10 people were killed in the eastern Baalbek province. Israel says it targets Hezbollah fighters and their infrastructure. Israel also struck a building in Beirut's bustling commercial district of Hamra for the first time, hitting a site that is around 400 meters (yards) from Lebanon’s Central Bank. There were no reports of casualties. The Israeli military said it struck targets in Beirut and other areas linked to Hezbollah's financial arm. The evacuation warnings covered many areas, including parts of Beirut that previously have not been targeted. The warnings, coupled with fear that Israel was ratcheting up attacks before a ceasefire, sent residents fleeing. Traffic was gridlocked, and some cars had mattresses tied to them. Dozens of people, some wearing their pajamas, gathered in a central square, huddling under blankets or standing around fires as Israeli drones buzzed loudly overhead. Hezbollah, meanwhile, kept up its rocket fire, triggering air raid sirens across northern Israel. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee issued evacuation warnings for 20 buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has a major presence, as well as a warning for the southern town of Naqoura where the U.N. peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, is headquartered. UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti told The Associated Press that peacekeepers will not evacuate. A police bomb squad officer inspects the site where a rocket fired from Lebanon landed in a backyard in Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, Tuesday Nov. 26, 2024. The Israeli military also said its ground troops clashed with Hezbollah forces and destroyed rocket launchers in the Slouqi area on the eastern end of the Litani River, a few kilometers (miles) from the Israeli border. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah would be required to move its forces north of the Litani, which in some places is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the border. Hezbollah began firing into northern Israel, saying it was showing support for the Palestinians, a day after Hamas carried out its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, triggering the Gaza war. Israel returned fire on Hezbollah, and the two sides have been exchanging barrages ever since. Israel escalated its campaign of bombardment in mid-September and later sent troops into Lebanon, vowing to put an end to Hezbollah fire so tens of thousands of evacuated Israelis could return to their homes. More than 3,760 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon the past 13 months, many of them civilians, according to Lebanese health officials. The bombardment has driven 1.2 million people from their homes. Israel says it has killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Hezbollah fire has forced some 50,000 Israelis to evacuate in the country’s north, and its rockets have reached as far south in Israel as Tel Aviv. At least 75 people have been killed, more than half of them civilians. More than 50 Israeli soldiers have died in the ground offensive in Lebanon. Chehayeb and Mroue reported from Beirut.

Monday Night Football tonight: New Bet365 bonus code “SYRACUSE” unlocks upgraded $150 betting bonusJim Rossman | Tribune News Service Cord cutting used to refer to abandoning pay TV and putting up an antenna to watch free over-the-air TV. Then cord cutting expanded to include streaming services like Netflix and Hulu and individual streaming sources. Related Articles Keeping your pets safe, happy during the holidays Gift ideas for people planning their next trip Lights and decor, réveillon meals make Christmastime special in New Orleans Why American travelers are choosing Europe for Christmas Jaw-dropping holiday light displays worth the trip this December Now we also include streaming bundles, like YouTube TV or Hulu Live or DirecTV Stream. These bundled services mimic cable and satellite service, in that they have hundreds of channels. The ease or complexity of the cord cutting experience depends on how you have things set up. Let’s take a look at some gift options for your favorite cord cutter. As far as I know DirecTV is the only streaming bundle service that offers its own hardware. The Gemini Air is a small dongle that plugs into an HDMI port on your TV. It is paired with a remote control to allow for easy navigation. If you were an AT&T U-Verse TV customer, the Gemini Air/DirecTV Stream experience will be very familiar. The Gemini Air is a rarity in that it has number buttons. DirecTV Stream has the option of turning on channel numbers in the guide. I’ve used DirecTV Stream with my Roku TV and with the Gemini Air and the Air makes navigating the huge list of channels much easier. The Gemini Air runs the Google operating system, so you can see and use all your other streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Max and more. You can also load apps and games from the Google Play store. The Gemini Air connects to your home’s Wi-Fi network, and it can stream 4K content to your TV. The remote control has a microphone so you can use your voice to search or interact with Hey Google’s voice assistant. DirecTV Stream customers can get a free Gemini Air from AT&T with their service. Additional units are available for $120. There are lots of smart TV brands. Some run on the Roku operating system, some run Google TV and some use their own brand of smart TV apps. If you’d like to add Google TV to any set, you can get Google’s new TV Streamer (4K) for just $99 from store.google.com. The small device connects to your TV’s HDMI port. It also can connect to your home’s internet via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection. The Google TV interface is not tied to any specific streaming service. You can use any streaming service or app that’s available on the Google Play store. It features a simple remote with voice control and the Google TV Streamer is also a hub and controller for Matter and Thread home devices that work with Google’s home ecosystem. If you use an over-the-air antenna for watching your free local channels, I’m betting you’d like the option to record those channels. TiVo used to be the best/easiest way to record OTA TV, but they’ve discontinued their OTA recorders. A great alternative is from TabloTV, which is a small box that you connect to your TV antenna. The TabloTV does not directly connect to your TV. Instead it connects to your home’s Wi-Fi, and the antenna signal is wirelessly sent to any TV or compatible device in your home. Your TV picks up the signal through a free app, which is compatible with smart TV brands like Samsung, LG, Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV or Android TV. This method is extremely handy if you don’t want to be bothered running an antenna wire from your attic or roof all the way to your TV. It’s also great if you want to use an indoor antenna, but your TV is not situated in a room that faces the broadcast towers. You can place the antenna and TabloTV where you get the best reception. The TabloTV comes in two models – with either two or four tuners. This means you can record or watch two or four shows at a time. TabloTV has onboard storage to record up to 50 hours of shows, but you can plug in any USB hard drive and expand to record thousands of hours of programming. You can also bundle a TabloTV with an OTA antenna if you like, or you can use your own antenna. Two things to know, there are no ongoing subscription costs for guide data, and there is no streaming service integration. You will need another way to add in streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. TabloTV models start at $99.95 for the two tuner model at tablotv.com. The four-tuner model is $139.95, but they may be on sale during the holidays. ©2024 Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Recent homicide ruling pushes date-rape drugs into Island spotlight
NEW YORK — When Seuk Kim took off from Maryland last weekend with three small dogs aboard his plane, it was the latest of many volunteer flights he had made to rescue animals in need. After realizing a childhood dream of becoming a pilot, Kim transported cats and dogs from disaster areas, overcrowded shelters and other misfortunes — including a dog trapped for days in a shipping container — to rescue groups. He lined up other aviators to do the same. But Sunday's flight to New York was his last. Kim's 1986 Mooney M20J crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, killing the 49-year-old pilot and one of the dogs, authorities said. The other two pups survived and were recovering Tuesday. “There are very few people like Seuk in this world. He has no ulterior motives. He never needed recognition,” said Sydney Galley, a fellow rescue flight volunteer. “He just wanted to help.” Whiskey — a 4-month-old Labrador-mix puppy who was found huddled in the snow with two broken legs — was doing well while awaiting surgery at Pieper Memorial Veterinary emergency and specialty hospital in Middletown, Connecticut. Videos showed the tawny pup getting belly rubs, licking a staffer’s face and, later, calmly looking around while having a leg bandage changed. Get the latest breaking news as it happens.

By Tuesday, Pluto was at the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley, the New York organization that had been set to receive all three dogs. The third was a five-pound (2.3-kg) puppy named Lisa, Galley said. The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday that the aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances in mountainous terrain. National Transportation Safety Board investigators were at the crash site.

Credit: AP/Jesse Ferguson Greene County Sheriff Peter Kusminsky has said visibility was poor Sunday and that Kim sought permission to change his altitude because of turbulence before the plane went down in early evening. Galley said the aircraft — Kim's third plane, purchased in recent months — was equipped with technology to help locate it in an emergency. Still, it took authorities until about midnight Sunday to find the aircraft, which was in about a foot of snow a couple of miles from the nearest road, the sheriff said. Kim lived with his wife and their three children in Springfield, Virginia. Originally from South Korea, he “came to this country with little but a dream, and through hard work and perseverance, he built a life of meaning and generosity,” cousin Christine Kim said in a Facebook message. “Witty, spontaneous, and full of boundless generosity,” he combined a caring heart with a sense of adventure, the Kim family said in an online obituary.

Credit: AP/Jesse Ferguson Seuk Kim had worked in fields including public relations and marketing. His family said he had pastimes including cooking and following baseball, but he had long aspired to fly. He eventually made that wish come true, and Galley said he recently told friends that he had landed a job with a charter flight company. “He was on top of the world,” she said. Kim started flying rescue dogs about four years ago and became a dedicated volunteer who handled as many as three flights a week and helped line up other pilots, Galley said. Unfazed by huge dogs, cats that other pilots didn't want to fly, or animal potty accidents, he responded to virtually any request with a smile and “sure, I can do that,” she recalled. Earlier this year, he flew “Connie the container dog,” the canine found in a shipping container at the Port of Houston, according to Galley and to a post on his memorial website. After Hurricane Helene struck parts of the Southeast this fall, Kim helped fly planeloads of generators and other supplies to hard-hit western North Carolina and even bought a pickup truck to drive in hay for farms, Galley recalled. Penny Edwards of Forever Changed Animal Rescue, one of the groups Kim helped with Helene response, called him “a huge asset to not just us but the entire rescue community.” “Our hearts are shattered,” she wrote in an email Tuesday. Maggie Jackman Pryor, the Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley’s executive director, said Kim helped save hundreds of animals over the years. Among them were a dog and her five puppies that he flew in October to Cathy West of Kuddles & Kisses K9 Rescue in Baltimore. The mixed-breed dog had been on a list to be euthanized at an overfilled shelter in Tennessee, West said. “He was so involved in trying to get the word out to volunteer, to other pilots — that this is a good thing to save these dogs so that they don’t die in shelters,” she said. On Sunday, Galley said, Kim picked up four dogs at a Virginia airport where her husband had just transported them from Georgia. After excitedly telling her husband about his new charter-plane job, Kim took off, dropped a big dog at a small airport in Maryland, and headed on with the rest toward Albany, New York. She imagines that he apologized to his canine passengers as the plane went down. “He always,” she said, “put everybody ahead of himself.”

ESPN Computer Releases Pick For Lions vs. Bears Thanksgiving GameNagpur: Nearly 85% candidates in the fray across Maharashtra forfeited their security deposits after they failed to secure the minimum vote share stipulated by Election Commission of India . Of 4,136 candidates, a majority, specifically 3,515, could not cobble up the mandatory mandate, leading to loss of security deposits that stack up to ₹3.51 crore. The forfeiture of deposits in the 2024 assembly polls follows a trend observed in earlier elections. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who went where and for how much IPL 2025: Complete list of players of each franchise In 2014, as many as 4,119 candidates contested the polls, with 3,422 losing their deposits, amounting to ₹3.42 crore, which represented 83.07% candidates. This percentage dipped in 2019, where 80.5% of 3,237 candidates forfeited their deposits, totalling ₹2.60 crore. However, in 2024 elections, the forfeiture rate sharply rose to 85%. Under Representation of People Act, 1951, if a candidate fails to secure at least one-sixth of the total valid votes cast in their constituency, the deposit is forfeited. Each candidate must pay a ₹10,000 deposit, while contesting assembly elections, whereas Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates need to pay ₹5,000. Among the two major political alliances, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) comprising Congress, Sena-UBT, and NCP-SP and smaller parties, suffered the biggest loss in security deposits with the grand old party leading the charts. Congress candidates alone forfeited deposits in 9 seats, followed by Shiv Sena-UBT in 8 and NCP-SP in 3. Peasants and Workers Party (PWP), a smaller party within MVA, also lost deposits in 2 seats. In total, MVA saw its candidates forfeit deposit across 22 seats. Nashik district clocked the highest number of forfeits among big players — 6 seats by 3 major parties, including two from Sena-UBT, three from Congress, and one from NCP(SP). Taking a macro view with small parties and Independents, Mumbai Suburban stood at 261, followed by Pune at 260 in deposit forfeiture. On the other hand, no BJP candidate forfeited deposits across the state. However, its alliance partners were dented — Sena (Shinde) candidate lost his deposit in Vidarbha's Daryapur (Amravati district), and Ajit Pawar-led NCP lost deposits on 5 seats across the state. Notably, the Morshi seat in the same district saw a unique situation where both factions of NCP lost their deposits. In a tight contest, BJP's Umesh Yawalkar bagged 99,683 votes, whereas NCP's Devendra Bhuyar and NCP(SP's) Girish Karale could only secure 34,695 and 31,843 votes, respectively — which were below the necessary threshold. Other smaller parties also suffered deposit forfeitures. Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) lost deposits on nearly all seats statewide. An exception was MNS' Amit Thackeray, who lost, but exceeded the threshold in Mahim constituency. Sachin Waghade, an Independent candidate contesting against Devendra Fadnavis in Nagpur South West, who lost his deposit, expressed his thoughts on the system. "Contesting is our constitutional right, and we participate because we still believe in democracy and in the democratic process. While I understand the need for Election Commission to ensure fairness and prevent bogus candidates, I believe that instead of the entire deposit being forfeited, 25% should be retained."

Donald Trump's Republicans are promising to hit the gas next year when they assume full control of the U.S. Congress, with little to stop them from executing the president-elect's promises to slash taxes and reorder the global trade landscape. But the $28 trillion Treasury debt market is flashing a red warning light against adding excessively to a debt load already expanding at a pace of $2 trillion a year. What is yet to be seen is whether these concerns will be enough to slow Republican lawmakers' ambitions or push them to find offsetting savings on a tax break agenda estimated to cost nearly $8 trillion over 10 years. Markets are betting that Trump's tax cuts and tariffs will fuel inflation as investors demand stronger returns on longer-term Treasuries. Yields on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note US10YT=RR have risen to 4.3%, up about 70 basis points since "Trump trades" began dominating Wall Street in September. Trump's choice of hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary prompted Treasuries to rally on Monday, erasing some of the recent increase in yields, as market analysts viewed him as a more traditional policymaker who is likely to try to control deficits. Invest wisely: Best online brokers Still, the trend is driving higher interest rates for mortgages, car loans and credit card debt, counteracting Federal Reserve rate cuts and potentially putting U.S. growth at risk. It is also raising the cost of financing U.S. deficits and eating up the federal budget. Interest on the public debt topped $1 trillion for the first time during the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, making it the second-largest single expenditure after the Social Security retirement program. "In a weird way, the bond market is now on the verge of running this country," said Republican Representative David Schweikert, who sits on the House of Representatives' tax- and trade-focused Ways and Means Committee. The market signals mean there are no "blank checks" for Congress and the tax cuts will need to be paired with spending cuts, he said in an interview. "It is a hurdle in the financing of the U.S. government." Managing that hurdle will fall to Bessent, who has argued that Trump's agenda will unleash stronger economic growth that will in turn drive up revenue and boost market confidence. His appointment could also reduce the chance of severe tariffs. The budget math is daunting. Trump has promised to extend the tax cuts passed in 2017, during his first term in the White House, for individuals and small businesses that are due to expire next year, which tax experts say will add $4 trillion to the current $36 trillion in total U.S. debt over 10 years. That's on top of debt already forecast by the Congressional Budget Office to grow by $22 trillion over the same period, based on current laws. Trump also promised voters generous new tax breaks, including ending taxes on Social Security, overtime and tip income and restoring deductions for car loan interest. The tab is likely to reach $7.75 trillion above the CBO baseline over 10 years, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a non-partisan fiscal watchdog group. Growth revenue Concern over the bond market's influence on Trump's agenda is more the exception than the rule among congressional Republicans interviewed some two weeks after he won the Nov. 5 presidential election and his party took control of Congress. Some fell back on the party's long-held view that tax cuts can pay for themselves with stronger growth - a line that was used to sell Trump's original 2017 tax cuts. Budget forecasters including the Joint Committee on Taxation have estimated that those cuts added more than $1 trillion to deficits over 10 years. An analysis of economic feedback on extending the tax cuts by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that increased growth would only offset 1% to 14% of the revenues lost directly by the cuts, leaving the bulk to be financed through borrowing. Still, Republican Senator Mike Rounds said he believed the stability and growth that will come from extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts will allay some market concerns. "What we have to do is show them that we're going to build an economy so that the ratio between the size of the economy and the debt changes positively in our favor," Rounds said. Musk's cuts Republican House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington said accelerating economic growth to more than 3% annually - it's already on that pace for the third quarter - would increase revenues by $3 trillion over a decade, but that additional spending cuts would be needed. Rising bond market yields were "a motivating factor to rein in deficit spending," he said. Arrington and fellow Republican Representative Joe Wilson said they were hopeful the non-government panel led by billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy would be able to find ways to cut the budget, including on "mandatory spending" programs other than Social Security and the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly, which Trump has vowed to preserve. "With Elon Musk I think we have a real opportunity to actually identify waste and cut things that can be cut," Wilson said. A key target is rescinding Democratic President Joe Biden's clean energy subsidies, estimated by the CBO to cost nearly $800 billion over 10 years, and some $60 billion in funds to modernize the Internal Revenue Service, although that would expand deficits in the long run by curbing audits. More: Stocks soared on news of Trump's election. Bonds sank. Here's why. Agenda unclear Republicans in the new year will likely rely on budget procedures that bypass Senate rules requiring 60 of the 100 members in the chamber to agree on most legislation to pass Trump's tax agenda with a simple majority. Republican Senator Mike Crapo, the incoming chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said it was too early to determine which tax policies would be included in initial legislation, adding that there was market "misinterpretation of what Trump is doing or going to do." "A lot of people are saying, well, which tax policies are you going to do?" Crapo said. "And the answer to that is, the ones that we figure out are the right ones." Bond vigilantes Former President Bill Clinton's political strategist James Carville famously said in 1993 that he wanted to be reincarnated as the bond market, because "you can intimidate everybody." If Congress' moves signal too big of a deficit hike, some market analysts are concerned that excess debt issuance will cause market indigestion that drives up yields sharply. "One can't exclude the risk that trust in U.S. economic policymaking might be lost, the bond vigilantes could come out in full force and pressure rates significantly higher, and the U.S. and global economies could be badly shaken," said Mark Sobel, a former U.S. Treasury official who is now the U.S. chairman at the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, a think tank. Nathan Thooft, chief investment officer and senior portfolio manager for Manulife Investment Management, said Congress and Trump's administration will likely adjust course based on market reactions. "They will react to incoming feedback as it comes," Thooft said. "Dollar gets too strong, they're probably going to back away a little bit. Equity markets act up too much, they might back away a little bit. They care about these things."
