NoneSTAG Industrial: Use The Pullback To Your Advantage

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voiced opposition on Sunday to the idea of using the military to carry out mass deportations of people living in the country illegally after President-elect Donald Trump signaled last week that he plans to do so . "You don't do it with the Army because it's illegal," Paul said on CBS's "Face the Nation" program. "If they send the Army into New York and you have 10,000 troops marching carrying semi-automatic weapons, I think it's a terrible image, and I will oppose that." A 19th century U.S. law prohibits federal troops from being used in domestic law enforcement except when authorized by Congress. Paul, at times a maverick within his party, noted that he supports the idea of deporting people living in the United States illegally who have criminal records, but said that law enforcement authorities are better equipped than the military to carry out that role and to heed the U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. There is a "distrust of putting the Army into our streets" among Americans, Paul said. Asked if this is a red line for him and whether it would impact his Senate vote to confirm Trump's pick of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to run the Department of Homeland Security, Paul said, "I will not support and will not vote to use the military in our cities."

Trump, who built his political profile on opposition to illegal immigration, has vowed to launch the largest deportation effort in U.S. history as soon as he is sworn in on Jan. 20. He appeared to confirm in a social media post on Nov. 18 that he would declare a national emergency and use military assets for his plan to deport a record number of immigrants in the United States illegally. Paul said agents from the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency could carry out these deportations. The senator also questioned the use of the National Guard for deportations, saying it is "less clear" whether it would be legal or illegal to use these forces. The National Guard is a part of the U.S. military that answers to both the president and to state governors. "President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families," Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump transition, said in a statement on Sunday. U.S. voters, Leavitt added, gave Trump "a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail, like deporting migrant criminals and restoring our economic greatness." Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., a member of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, on Sunday described the potential use of the military in deportation campaigns as "hyperbole." In an appearance on the Fox News program "Sunday Morning Futures," Donalds suggested that the threat alone of using the military in such a role could have a deterrent effect. "I think you're going to see a lot of self-deportation once this process begins," Donalds said. Other Republicans defended the idea of involving the military in the deportation effort. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., who will be the Senate's No. 2 Republican when his party takes control of the chamber in January, told "Fox News Sunday" that if Trump declares a national emergency "he can appropriately use the military."

UFC President Dana White has given an update on Conor McGregor's future with the organisation. Speaking for the first time about McGregor since a jury in a civil case ordered the MMA fighter to pay Nikita Hand almost €250,000 in damages, White seemingly cast doubt on McGregor's future with the company. When asked in the UFC 310 post-event press conference whether he had anything to say about the McGregor verdict, White replied: "What do you mean 'what's my reaction?'" before going on to say "If I had a comment, I would have put it out already."

The journalist asking the question mentioned how McGregor was meant to fight in the Summer of 2024 at UFC 303 before asking White whether these events impact McGregor's future in any way, with White replying: "Well, if he does fight, it will be some time next year." 36-year-old McGregor hasn't fought inside a UFC Octagon since breaking his leg in defeat to Dustin Poirier in 2021. He was due to fight in the Summer of 2024 against Michael Chandler but was forced to pull out of the contest with an injury.

True freshman Luke Kromenhoek threw three touchdown passes and Caziah Holmes ran for two more as host Florida State routed Charleston Southern 41-7 on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, Fla. The Seminoles (2-9) convincingly snapped a six-game losing streak and ensured that the Buccaneers (1-11) would finish theirs on a 10-game skid. Florida State has not had much to celebrate during one of its worst seasons in program history. But on Saturday, the Seminoles overcame a rough start and put together one of their more complete efforts of the season. Florida State had not scored more than 21 points in a game prior to Saturday's contest and its 175 rushing yards more than doubled its average (80.5 per game) this season. No single runner had over 40 yards, but seven rushers combined for that output on 34 attempts. The Seminoles entered the game ranked 130th out of 133 FBS teams in rushing offense. Holmes, a senior, finished with three carries for 38 yards, including touchdown runs of 3 and 18 yards. Kromenhoek gave Florida State a sliver of hope for its quarterback future as he completed 13 of 20 passes for 209 yards and no interceptions. He threw TD passes for Amaree Williams, Ja'Khi Douglas and Hykeem Williams. The highlight was a 71-yard touchdown pass to Douglas on the first play from scrimmage of the second half to put the Seminoles ahead 24-0. Douglas finished with 82 yards receiving on three catches, and 10 different Florida State players caught passes for 240 total yards. The Seminoles went 6 of 10 on third downs after averaging only a 25 percent conversion rate all season. Their defense held Charleston Southern to 275 total yards (57 rushing) and forced two turnovers. Florida State was unable to hang on to the shutout, however, as Bucs quarterback Kaleb Jackson found Landon Sauers for a 7-yard touchdown pass with 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Jackson completed 22 of 32 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The Bucs defense recorded three sacks led by Davion Williams, who had eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack. The Seminoles will conclude their season next Saturday at home against rival Florida. --Field Level Media

Bills quarterback Josh Allen confirmed a report that he fractured his left hand on a fourth quarter touchdown run in the Week 1 win over the Cardinals. He appeared on the practice report in Weeks 2-11 with a non-throwing hand injury but didn’t miss a practice or a game. “Yeah,” Allen said this week, via Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News . “ It’s the left one , so it don’t really matter that much.” Allen is back on the report for the first time since Week 12, but injuries to his right shoulder and his right elbow did not slow him this week. He was a full participant all week and has no injury designation. Allen took a “funky fall” on his shoulder in Week 15 but was not on the injury report in Week 16. In Sunday’s win over the Patriots, he took a helmet to the funny bone and briefly lost feeling in his right hand. “Just a little sore from this last game,” Allen said. “Probably took too many opportunities for them to lay their hands and pads on me. I’ve just got to be smarter and make sure that we’re rolling here.”Italy is reportedly in talks with India to expand cooperation on port infrastructure, including ship and yacht manufacturing sectors. The discussion encompasses broader areas of blue economy and space exploration, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday, citing Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso. India and Italy share cultural and trade ties dating back centuries, the report cited Mr Urso, who is also Minister of Made in Italy, as saying. This means the two nations are well placed to build a "Cotton Route" as an alternative to China's "Silk Route," investing in ports, logistics, data and information technologies such as undersea cables, he said while speaking to Bloomberg on the sidelines of the Tour Vespucci in Mumbai on Saturday. On the issue of the potential impacts of the Middle East war on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), the Italian leader said that "war is all around us in Europe." He, however, said that an alternative is needed, as the Russia-Ukraine war has disrupted continental routes. It will also help alleviate pressure on the Suez Canal, the Minister said. Replying to a question about prospects of IMEC finding support under the upcoming US President Donald Trump's administration, Mr Urso said the corridor meets the strategic needs of both the US and Europe. IMEC is an initiative to establish a new trade and logistics corridor linking the Mediterranean with the Indo-Pacific via the Middle East. India- Italy "Informal" Talks Meanwhile, Union Shipping, Ports and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday told reporters that India and Italy held "informal" talks on Saturday. When asked about developments on the upcoming IMEC, the Minister said Italy has made some wishes and added that India will take the necessary steps on this aspect. "Both India and Italy are strong maritime nations having advanced space programmes," Sonowal said, stressing that ecology and economic aspirations have to go hand in hand. "From the enormousness of the ocean to the infinite vastness of space, the potential and benefit of the India-Italy partnership is immense," he said. The Minister also invited Italian museums to collaborate with India for the upcoming National Maritime Heritage Complex (NMHC) in Gujarat's Lothal. The Union Cabinet had recently given the nod for the NMHC, which is estimated to cost over Rs 3,500 crore, as per some reports. India-ItalyTies Italy and India share common interests and joint challenges in the Indo-Mediterranean Sea, a region vital for global trade. Recently, both India and Italy have intensified their bilateral relationship, advancing cooperation across political, economic, and defence sectors. This partnership has the potential to position both India and Italy as major players in the Indo-Pacific and Mediterranean region, where stability and collaboration are essential for global trade and security. In 2023, India with Italy, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, France, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and the European Union agreed to establish the India–Middle East Economic Corridor (IMEC) to enhance global trade and counter China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The IMEC aims to connect a combined GDP of US $47 trillion with a comprehensive infrastructure network and focuses on high-efficiency trade routes, renewable energy, digital infrastructure and improved international communication networks, according to a report by East Asia Forum.

The circumstances of Laken Riley's death are both shocking and depressingly familiar. A young woman going about her life, in this case jogging in broad daylight on a university campus, is overpowered and murdered by a male attacker apparently intent on raping her. An autopsy would later indicate the 22-year-old nursing student died from repeated blows to the head and asphyxiation. It's every woman's worst nightmare. And what does it say about the pervasive fear of violence against women that, within half an hour of trying to reach her daughter, Riley's mother appeared to be panicking? A chilling timeline It's early on February 22 when Laken Riley texts her mum. "Good morning, about to go for a run if you're free to talk," she writes at 8.55am. The two were in the habit of chatting when Riley was out pounding the trails. Riley's mother doesn't immediately answer the text, or a follow-up call at 9:03am. Around that time, CCTV captures Riley jogging along a paved walkway on a university campus in Athens, Georgia. She passes by several people out walking. Around 9:06am she's seen veering left into fields. Just minutes later, she's attacked. At 9:11am, the SOS function on her phone is activated, but the emergency dispatcher can't discern anyone on the line. Riley's mother, meanwhile, is trying to contact her daughter. "You're making me nervous, not answering when you're out running," she texts at 9:58am. "Are you OK?" Riley wasn't OK at 9:58am. Data retrieved from her phone indicated her heart had stopped beating exactly half an hour earlier. When Riley didn't return from her run, her roommates reported her missing. At 12:38pm, her body was found by a police officer searching a wooded area near the jogging trail. "Ma'am, ma'am", the officer, breathing heavily, can be heard saying in bodycam footage shown in court. "I need EMS immediately. Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. She's down, she's not breathing!" The physical evidence suggests Riley endured a protracted struggle with her attacker. The man who would later be sentenced for her murder had multiple scratch marks on his arms when apprehended by police the next day. His DNA was found under Riley's fingernails. A Republican rallying cry The timeline of Riley's murder was established in court proceedings that were broadcast, in part, on live TV. The media attention was not just a result of the senseless, brutal murder of a young woman in a place she should have felt safe. It was also a result of who did it. The man now sentenced over the killing is an undocumented migrant from Venezuela, 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra. Ibarra entered the US illegally in September 2022 near El Paso, Texas. He was detained by immigration authorities but allowed to go free as his case was processed. Ibarra headed for New York before moving to Georgia, where his brother was living. Ibarra's travel from New York to Georgia was paid for under a process known as re-ticketing. It saw the state, which at the time was dealing with a huge influx of migrants, fork out to move them elsewhere. When Ibarra killed Riley early this year, the presidential campaign was picking up pace. Georgia is a swing state which Joe Biden won by fewer than 12,000 votes in 2020, and Republicans were hopeful of taking it back (they did). They campaigned heavily on the issue of illegal immigration, arguing the Biden administration had failed to control the southern border. Illegal immigrants, they argued, were taking jobs, receiving taxpayer funded benefits and committing crimes. There's no evidence that illegal immigrants are committing violent crimes at higher rates than the rest of the population , but the killing of Riley seemed tailor-made for this narrative. The student's death soon became a MAGA rallying cry. Two weeks after her death, Majorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman from Georgia and fierce Trump loyalist, goaded Biden into saying Riley's name during his State of the Union address . The president did say her name, but managed to mangle it, calling her Lincoln, not Laken. Biden also referred to the man who killed her as "an illegal", raising the ire of the progressive wing of his party. The botched moment would later seem like a bad omen for the Democrats' handling of the issue of illegal migration during the campaign. Political advertising Laken Riley's name, and those of other women and girls allegedly killed by illegal immigrants, featured prominently in Donald Trump's campaign. Relatives of the victims appeared with him at events, and in campaign ads. They included the mother of 12-year-old Joceyln Nungaray, whose body was dumped in a Texas creek, allegedly by two men who'd entered the US illegally. At a time when many Americans feel they're doing it tough, resentment and fear of immigrants proved relatively easy to stoke. The Democrats were seen by many voters as having done too little too late to address what they latterly accepted was a crisis at the border . When I interviewed a young woman in Georgia in September, she cited fear of an illegal immigrant harming any children she might have as a reason she'd decided, for the first time in her life, to vote for Trump. Coincidentally, we spoke the day after a high school shooting in Georgia. Not too far from where we met, a 14-year-old is alleged to have shot and killed two students and two teachers. It felt telling that, for this woman, the fear of an illegal immigrant murdering her future children was more prescient than the threat of them being impacted by the scourge of gun violence. Republicans were not alone in using emotive stories about women's deaths in their campaign. Democrats highlighted the cases of several women who died, or almost did, as a result of abortion restrictions implemented after the overturning of Roe v Wade. Reproductive rights had proved to be a winning issue for Democrats in the 2022 midterms. But while the majority of state initiatives to protect abortion have succeeded, the issue did not galvanise voters in the presidential election to nearly the extent the Democrats had hoped. Life sentence Jose Ibarra waived his right to a trial by jury. The defendant, who sat impassively through four days of evidence, listening on headphones via an interpreter, also chose not to take the stand in his defence. He was convicted on 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping with bodily injury and aggravated assault with intent to rape. Donald Trump was following proceedings from afar. "JUSTICE FOR LAKEN RILEY!", he posted from Florida after Ibarra was found guilty. "We love you, Laken, and our hearts will always be with you. It is time to secure our border, and remove these criminals and thugs from our country, so nothing like this can happen again!" Taylor Greene was also quick on the draw, saying Trump's election win amounted to a "decisive mandate" to carry out his plan to carry out mass deportations. "January 20th cannot come soon enough ... If you're in this country illegally: PACK. YOUR. BAGS." Before Ibarra was sentenced to life without parole, the court was shown harrowing bodycam footage of the moment her family was told she'd been found. Her mother, Allyson Phillips, could often be heard sobbing from the gallery as her daughter's last moments were relived in court. In her impact statement, she called Ibarra a "monster", who she said had robbed the family of their hopes and dreams for Riley. "There is no end to the pain, suffering and loss that we have experienced or will continue to endure". ABCMatteo Berrettini is carrying the Italian flag high in the sport as he aims to come back strongly from injuries. Berrettini is popular in his country for not just his professional exploits, but also his colorful personal life. He is apparently in a relationship again after breaking up with Melissa Satta, a TV presenter and model. The 28-year-old Berrettini is currently dating Federica Lelli, who is 2 years younger than him, as per a Il Messagero report. Lelli is more famously known in Italy to be the ex-girlfriend of singer Ultimo. However, she has a strong identity of her own with 156,000 followers on Instagram alone. Lelli is an influencer and model who resides in Rome. It is believed that she first met Berrettini at a social event in France where she studied political science and international relations in a reputed university. Berrettini resides and trains in Monte Carlo but is shuttling between the French city and Rome, since he is allegedly in a live-in relationship with Lelli. The Italian paparazzi snapped Berrettini and Lelli walking on the streets of Rome hand in hand, looking extremely happy with each other. While the couple hasn’t put up any pictures and videos together on social media, their privacy can be understood. Berrettini has had a difficult last 3 years in his personal and professional lives both, more so after making the finals of the Wimbledon 2021 competition. Berrettini’s last two relationships before Lelli Before Lelli, Berrettini seemed to be going strong with Satta. In an interview with The Sun , he called the relationship an ‘intense one’ while explaining why he broke up with her in February 2024. It seems that Berrettini is prioritizing his tennis career more and Satta was a distraction for him, despite the fact that she showed her support by turning up for some of his matches. On the other hand, Satta has quite a history with dating other sportspersons. Infamously, she was said to be responsible for the late Kobe Bryant cheating on his wife Vanessa, which nearly made her file for divorce. So lack of trust in the relationship could have made Berrettini break up with her. Before Satta, Berrettini was in another highly-publicised relationship with a WTA player from Australia, Ajla Tomljanovic. They were together for 3 years and shot together for the Netflix docuseries, Break Point. But Berrettini was unhappy with the way their relationship was portrayed as he was accused of throwing out Ajla from his room once as well. Eventually, both the players were dissatisfied with each other because of having separate lives and finding it difficult to spend time with each other. While Berrettini has had it difficult in love matters, he and his fans too would hope that Lelli is the right match for him.
