PTI's reality checkUS President-elect Donald Trump says he will direct his Justice Department to "vigorously pursue" the death penalty to protect Americans from "violent rapists, murderers, and monsters" when he takes power on January 20. or signup to continue reading Trump's statement on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday was in response to President Joe Biden's announcement on Monday that he had commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal inmates on death row, converting them to life in prison without parole. "As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters," Trump said. Trump restarted federal executions during his first term in office from 2017 to 2021 after a nearly 20-year pause. Biden, who ran for president opposing the death penalty, put federal executions on hold when he took office in January 2021. Unlike executive orders, clemency decisions cannot be reversed by a president's successor, although the death penalty can be sought more aggressively in future cases. The Trump transition team on Monday had denounced Biden's decision, calling it abhorrent and favouring convicts who are "among the worst killers in the world."

Celebrating the Festive Season with PU Prime’s Christmas Promotion
Actress Nkechi Blessing engages younger lover Xxssive
Oregon Governor Joins Growing List Of Democrat Leaders 'Trump-Proofing' Their StatesGARY LINEKER has landed his first job since announcing his Match of the Day exit. The legendary England striker, 63, revealed earlier this month he will leave the iconic BBC programme at the end of the season after 25 years as host. And just two weeks later his newest project has been unveiled as he prepares to get involved in Baller League UK. The football tournament was launched in Germany earlier this year and includes the likes of Mats Hummels and Lukasz Podolski. The league is made up of 12 teams consisting of six players on each side, with weekly matches taking place indoors across two 15-minute halves. Now the trailer announcing UK and US versions has been released on social media - with a plethora of star-studded names involved. The ad, set in an airport, features a mix of YouTubers and ex-footballers. Lineker is joined by Match of the Day pundits Alan Shearer and Micah Richards for his segment of the video. Lineker and Shearer are left in hysterics as Richards swandives on to the floor and rips his trousers in an attempt to beat his MOTD pals to a header. The BBC presenter then says "Talk about bursting on the seam!" - a play-on words on Richards' famous "bursting on to the scene" quote. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS Lineker has been named a team manager in the league - with a host of former players joining him to head up rival sides. Shearer and Richards have also been confirmed as head coaches, along with Chelsea legend and ex-England captain John Terry - who replicates his 2012 Champions League final antics by appearing in the video in full kit. Arsenal Invincibles trio Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires and Freddie Ljunberg will also be coaches, as will ex- Real Madrid superstar Luis Figo. Ronaldinho is also seen at the end of the clip as he smiles on a plane in a scene with IShowSpeed - who will be the Baller League USA president. It is unclear what Ronaldinho's involvement will be. KSI has been announced as the president of Baller League UK. It is set to get underway in March next year and finish in May - with coverage being hosted by Chunkz on Twitch. Rule changes will also take place during certain matches - including 3 vs 3 games, goals scored from the back two thirds of the pitch counting for double, and one-on-one match-ups starting behind the halfway line. Trials for players hoping to take part in the league will be staged in London and Manchester. They will include free agents, futsal players, academy youngsters, street ballers and retired pros. KSI said: "I have high hopes for what this league can bring to the sport. "We're bringing a different style to football, a different energy to the normal and showing a different level of entertainment to the sport. "Very exciting times ahead!" GARY LINEKER dropped the shock news that he is QUITTING Match of the Day. The popular presenter, 63, took over hosting duties on the flagship BBC programme from Des Lynam in 1999. But after more than 25 years in the studio hotseat, he has called time on his MOTD gig. But as part of a huge shake-up, the BBC is considering rotating the presenters on a weekly basis. So with Lineker vacating the chair, new names will step into his giant boots. But who could they be? MARK CHAPMAN Chapman, 51, is the obvious early favourite to follow on from Lineker as MOTD presenter. He already has the gig as MOTD2 host on a Sunday night plus landed the presenting job for the new BBC Champions League highlights show. ALEX SCOTT Scott gets the nod from the Beeb bosses when Lineker is away. The former right-back, 40, is used to presenting the Saturday night show as well as live match coverage - plus ticks the box as a former England international. GABBY LOGAN Like Scott, Logan, 51, is one of the understudies to step in when Lineker is not available. She has done most gigs since joining the BBC in 2007, including Olympics, Sports Personality of the Year and Final Score. MICAH RICHARDS Lineker's top pick to replace him is exuberant former Man City defender Richards. The departing host told his close pal, 36, on their Stick to Football podcast: "I'd love to see you take over Micah, I think you'd be brilliant in the chair." JASON MOHAMMAD Mohammad could earn the "promotion" from Final Score to Match of the Day. The 51-year-old Welshman - who took over from Logan in 2013 - is one of the BBC's top earners already and is more senior than fellow Final Score and BBC Sport broadcaster Kelly Somers, who could in theory become the main live host for the afternoon slot. JEFF STELLING He couldn't, could he? While Lineker has been the face of Saturday night TV for football fans for years, the face of the afternoons was Stelling in his role as Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday presenter. He would bring plenty of on-screen charisma, wit and legendary TV expertise - but at nearly 70 and currently with talkSPORT, the Hartlepool fan would not be a cheap or long-term appointment.Joseph P Kelley , Executive Vice President at Nordson NDSN , disclosed an insider purchase on December 23, based on a new SEC filing. What Happened: Kelley's recent move, as outlined in a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, involves purchasing 1,401 shares of Nordson.

The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.

This encompasses executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be submitted within two business days of the transaction.

Over the years, Roblox has expanded its RPG offerings and become increasingly expansive in terms of what’s actually available, showcasing the platform’s real development capabilities. Whether they offer rich combat systems or immersive world exploration features, these are the best Roblox RPGs available now on the platform. 10. Sword Blox Online: Rebirth Offering a more traditional MMORPG-style experience, Sword Blox Online: Rebirth focuses on classic dungeon crawling and character progression. There are multiple weapon types each offering distinct combat styles, gameplay, and ability sets. Social interaction and party play are encouraged via more challenging dungeon content that actually requires coordination from all players involved. Also, Sword Blox Online: Rebirth maintains and relies on an active player-to-player trading system, creating valuable equipment and materials through a player economy. Players can develop their characters through both combat prowess and via crafting abilities, which creates a pretty well-rounded online RPG experience. 9. Wings of Fire Inspired by the popular series of novels with the same name, Wings of Fire allows players to take on the role of various different dragons from unique tribes. Each tribe has abilities that align with their lore from the book series as well. For example, RainWings are able to camouflage themselves while SeaWings excel in aquatic biomes. Wings of Fire offers both PvE and PvP elements of gameplay.

The economy in Northwind is largely player-driven, featuring mostly player-crafted items and resources that must be traded amongst other players rather than relying solely on self-found items. The game environment also hosts various settlements where players create their own sort of hubs to trade and interact, creating a true colonial setting. 7. Treasure Quest Treasure Quest is a more traditional dungeon-crawling RPG that focuses more on cooperative gameplay and loot progression than world exploration. Players can choose from a variety of different classes for their character, each with unique abilities to complement specific team compositions when delving deep into the dungeons. With random generation, each dungeon delving experience ensures run variety creating an almost roguelike RPG experience. The full Treasure Quest experience also features a robust trading system for players to exchange equipment found deep in their delves. With varying types of equipment and deep classes, various compositions of teams can tackle the unique dungeons with their own approach, creating a deeply social RPG. 6. Dinosaur Simulator Offering a very unique RPG experience, Dinosaur Simulator allows players to simulate the life of various dinosaur species.

Regardless of which dinosaur you choose, you’ll start as a juvenile dino and must survive to reach adulthood and become stronger. Dinosaur Simulator features various different biomes that suits each of the dinosaur species, encouraging players to find their own niche in each ecosystem and biomes.

Paired with the unique character progression system, Legends Re:Written provides a robust anime-themed RPG experience for solo and social players. 4. Slime Slaying Simulator A progression-focused RPG about hunting increasingly powerful slimes as the name suggests, Slime Slaying Simulator features various weapons and equipment that players can collect and upgrade to amplify their slime massacring. Different areas feature unique slime types with their own strengths, weaknesses, attack patterns, and of course drops, allowing you to farm areas for specific resources and items. Character development in Slime Slaying Simulator includes both equipment progression and character-based skill improvements. Along the way, players can trade items and resources with each other through Slime Slaying Simulator’s in-game marketplace system. 3. Creatures of Sonaria Creatures of Sonaria is essentially a monster-collecting RPG where the player takes on the role of the creature itself, trying to survive in a brutal world of other creatures in the world of Sonaria. Players will unlock and have the ability to play as other creatures as they progress, similar to Dinosaur Simulator, allowing players to grow from child to adult as each creature. With over 350 creatures in total across Creatures of Sonaria, there is a lot of variability in terms of look, playability, and features for players to uncover between all the creatures.

As players become stronger in Pilgrammed they will be able to take on stronger boss enemies with their own unique skillsets and strategies. Taking down these bosses will give access to exclusive weapons, armor, and resources that can allow players to get even more powerful regardless of their playstyle. 1. Deepwoken Taking the top slot on our best RPG list for Roblox has to be the immersive RPG Deepwoken. At its core, Deepwoken is a massive online RPG with a very unique mechanic: permadeath. This is an RPG that doesn’t hold your hand despite being on a platform like Roblox , and many have compared it to more hardcore RPGs like the Dark Souls and Sekiro series’. While it can be difficult, it’s an extremely rewarding RPG that utilizes a talent card system for players to create diverse character builds. Deepwoken also features rich lore that rewards players in both story, and loot, for going off the beaten path and exploring what the world has to offer. Paired with its permadeath system, Deepwoken offers a very unique but rich gameplay experience hard to find on Roblox .In a Nov. 26 Sentinel letter to the editor, Jeffrey Piccola, chairman of the Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), said Tim Potts’ guest editorial (Nov. 18) “underscores the persistent efforts ... to undermine families’ right to choose the best educational path for their children.” Mr. Piccola missed Mr. Potts’ point, intentionally I thought. Potts itemized tax dollars spent by CCA on a vineyard, catered ceremonies, corporate office signage, advertising, flying lessons, non school-related sports teams, duplicative vo-tech education and millions for buildings and land for this online school. Severe underfunding in our public schools resulted in a 2023 court mandate requiring the commonwealth to find a way to fairly and fully fund them. Meanwhile, $540 million of our tax dollars is projected to go to CCA for the 2024-25 school year, with easily 14 million having been spent on expenses unrelated to helping children achieve a “best educational path.” In fact, as Potts points out, “not one of the 13 cyber charter schools [in Pa.] performed better than the state average on state tests of reading, math or science. Not one had a 6-year graduation rate higher than the state average.” Piccola’s letter shows his reading comprehension needs to be improved. So does public education funding. That’s the point: Make sure our tax dollars are spent on educating children, not on corporate excess. Piccola accuses Potts of criticizing CCA “for investing in the academic, social and emotional growth of students.” Wrong. Potts criticizes CCA for spending millions of our tax dollars on expenses having nothing to do with online education improvements and everything to do with stripping public schools of the resources they lack. Write to Gov. Shapiro and your legislators. Ask them to fully and fairly fund our public schools and insist that cyber charter schools stop wasting our money.

Beyond evangelicals, Trump and his allies courted smaller faith groups, from the Amish to Chabad
The Surrey seamer became the 14th English bowler to achieve the feat in Test cricket. Gus Atkinson claimed a superb hat-trick as England took command of the second Test against New Zealand, knocking over the home side’s tail in style. The Surrey seamer took out Nathan Smith, Matt Henry and Tim Southee with three successive deliveries, the 15th time an English bowler has achieved the feat in Test cricket. Atkinson turned the heat on the Black Caps in his ninth over, racking up three different modes of dismissal to end their innings on 125 and hand the tourists a lead of 155. The 26-year-old uprooted Smith’s middle stump with the third ball of his over, then had Henry backing away from a short ball that he fended to Ben Duckett at gully. Last man Tim Southee stood between Atkinson and a place in the history books but had no answer as the ball came full and straight, smashing his front pad dead in front of middle stump. Southee reviewed the lbw decision in hope more than expectation but England’s celebrations were already well under way. Rod Tucker raised his finger for a second time to seal the deal, with Atkinson registering the 50th Test hat-trick in world cricket – 47 in the men’s game and three in the women’s. The last player to get one was South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj in 2021, with Moeen Ali the most recent to do so for England, against the Proteas at the Oval in 2017. Stuart Broad took two in his career, making Atkinson the 14th England player on the list. Brydon Carse had earlier dismissed Tom Blundell and Will O’Rourke in the space of three deliveries as New Zealand lost their last five batters for 39.If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. General Motors under the Cadillac brand and participate in the FIA Formula One World Championship for the 2026 season, the automaker announced on Monday. Formula 1 says it has and will move GM and Cadillac's application forward to become the 11th team on the grid — making it the first new team to join since 2016. Formula 1 says it’s been in talks with GM and its partners at motorsport company TWG Global about “the viability of an entry following the commercial assessment and decision” the organization made in January. The announcement mentions that GM will come on as an engine supplier later, and while it will join initially as a Ferrari customer, that has not been officially announced. In a statement, the CEO of Liberty Media (owner of Formula One Group), Greg Maffei, said that GM as a future power unit supplier “could bring additional value and interest to the sport.” Maffei additionally called GM and Cadillac an “impressive US brand.” The last US F1 champion, Mario Andretti, is joining the team’s board as director. /
Inside The Intimate Playing For Change Foundation Dinner In Partnership With Tiffany & Co.
For Shane van Gisbergen , racing has always been about perseverance and versatility — traits he recognizes in his fellow Kiwi, Liam Lawson . The 35-year-old, who will make the full-time move up to the NASCAR Cup Series next year, was an early mentor to the VCARB Formula 1 driver . “Obviously, I went the Touring Car route, and he went to chase the dream in Europe in single-seaters,” van Gisbergen reflected. “Now he's succeeded at it. The way he's gotten to F1 has been a little difficult the last couple of years. But seeing him get this opportunity full-time now, I'm just stoked and so proud.” The three-time Australian Supercars champion credited Lawson’s success, in part, to his unwavering commitment. “I could see right from the start how into it he was — always watching racing or on the simulator. He just committed himself,” van Gisbergen said. The pair, who are both part of the Red Bull family, have also used adaptability to their advantage. “You’ve got to be versatile, which is something I've always tried to do by driving a bunch of different cars. It helps you when it comes to something new in the setup, something technical, or even with the weather changing. You’ve got to be able to adapt straight away,” he said. “Liam's been exceptional at that. Even when F1 wasn’t working out, he did DTM and other racing that I think has really helped him.” Shane van Gisbergen, Connor Zillisch, Yuki Tsunoda, and Liam Lawson Photo by: Red Bull Content Pool In fact, the two recently reconnected on a dirt oval in Texas for a Red Bull shoot, where Lawson and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda got behind the wheel of a stock car — with some guidance from van Gisbergen and NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch . “Liam was very analytical, trying to understand the car and what he needed to do to be fast,” van Gisbergen said. “You don't make it to F1 by being an average driver. To watch how he and Yuki could just jump in a car and drive — it was amazing.” Despite being at different point in their careers, the pair are both experiencing the challenges of uprooting their lives to chase their dreams abroad. “It’s not easy. Even now, I'm a lot older, but moving from Australia to America — being across the other side of the world from your family and friends — it’s difficult,” van Gisbergen admitted. However, he’s more than ready to forge a new path in NASCAR, where he’s set to drive for Trackhouse Racing full-time in the 2025 Cup Series . “I've had a blast. It's been like a completely different sport — it’s so unlike any other racing I've ever done, and that's great. It's been such a challenge and a big refresh for me,” he explained. “Some aspects of it have been a struggle, especially on the ovals, but that's what guys grew up doing here. NASCAR also has a really hectic schedule, but I love it.” He’s also taken advice from veterans like Marcos Ambrose and Kevin Harvick while embracing the camaraderie of the NASCAR world. “All of the drivers have been pretty friendly. You can't not be friendly because you race each other every week,” he said. “The cars are very different to what I’m used to, but hopefully the Cup car will suit me better. I've just got to be patient and not try to force things. The results will come once I get comfortable, but I'm definitely ready to go.”None
