President-Elect Donald Trump said he plans to launch efforts to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, impose tariffs on foreign countries that do business with the U.S. and pardon some of the people convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol intrusion. Trump made his comments when describing his agenda In the interview that lasted more than an hour with Kristen Welker on Trump also said he will work to extend tax cuts that were passed during his first administration, not raise the age of Medicare or Medicaid and seek ways to cut federal spending. Also he said he will not impose restrictions on abortions pills, and continues to want abortion determined by individual states, In addition to the deportation efforts, he will also try to end birthright citizenship, which is spelled out in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. He wants to strip rights from those born in the country to undocumented parents. Regarding deportations, Trump said that "we're starting with the criminals, and we got to do it. And then we're starting with others, and we're going to see how it goes." There are an estimated 4 million families in America who have mixed immigration status. "I don't want to be breaking up families. So the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back." Trump said he wants to work with Democrats to ensure Dreamers, who are undocumented immigrants who entered the United States as children nearly 20 or more years ago - would be able to stay in the country. "We have to do something about the Dreamers, because these are people that have been brought here at a very young age, and many of these are middle-aged people now, they don't even speak the language of their country," Trump said. While serving as president, legislation wasn't approved to protect Dreamers. They are covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program that has allowed them to remain in the country and work legally. Referring to his efforts to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters, he said many have endured overly harsh treatment in prison. Trump said the pardons will happen on day one, arguing many have endured overly harsh treatment in prison. "These people are living in hell," Trump said during the interview. A total of 1,251 have been convicted or pleaded guilty of the 1,572 defendants in the attack. At least 645 defendants have been sentenced to incarceration ranging from a few days to 22 years. He said members of the Jan. 6 House committee "committed a major crime" by destroying evidence. Committee members said that is not true because evidence has been preserved with the committee, the White House or Homeland Security. "Honestly, they should go to jail," Trump said about the committee members, adding he would not direct his appointees to arrest them. Regarding the consequences of tariffs, Trump said he could not assure U.S. consumers that they won't pay more for some products under the new rules should they be imposed. "I can't guarantee anything," Trump said. "I can't guarantee tomorrow." Trump also said that Ukraine should "possibly, probably" expect less aid in its fight against Russia and he is trying to negotiate the end of the war with Russia. The future president said he will not raise the age of eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid recipients, and said those programs will also be protected from sweeping cuts promised by Elon Musk, whom Trump has appointed to head a newly created Department of Government Efficiency, with another billionaire, Vivek Ramaswamy. "I won't do it," Trump said. Musk has said the department could cut as much as a third of the national budget, or more than $2 trillion, though he has been short on specifics. Analysts have said cutting that much of the U.S. spending plan in short order is while continuing to keep the country's vital services intact and the nation running, even if the department only takes aim at so-called "discretionary spending." Trump has claimed that his sweeping Nov. 5 victory is a mandate. He won by about 2 million votes of 152 million cast though his Electoral College margin was 312-226 against Vice President Kamala Harris. He said he has broad support from not only the American people, but from corporate titans like Amazon's Jeff Bezos, whom Trump claims to be having dinner with. "People like me now, you know?" he said in the interview. "It's different than the first - you know, when I won the first time, I wasn't nearly as popular as this. And one thing that's very important, in terms of the election, I love that I won the popular vote, and by a lot." While sounding harsh on the campaign trail, Trump said in the interview that he plans to "move forward," and does not, for instance, plan to appoint a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden. Nor, he said, does he have plans to use the legal system to punish his political or personal adversaries.49jili app 。

he career of , the U.S. President who died on Dec. 29 at age 100, will be remembered for many things: his peanut-farming background, his speedy rise to political fame and fall after one term, his handling — or mishandling — of the energy crisis and the Iran hostage crisis. Another achievement, from early in his career, may be less well known, but is just as worthy of remembrance. The mid-1970s, when Carter became a national public figure, was a time of transition, full of the aftershocks of the progress and devastation that had characterized the previous decade, not least in the arena of the . Carter was a Georgian of many generations, whose farming family’s presence in the South the United States itself. He had no trouble establishing his Southern credentials, but he also differed from many of his neighbors when it came to integration and other racial issues. As TIME recounted in a of the then-candidate, his mother, known as “Miss Lillian,” was a formidable presence in her four children’s lives and encouraged them to have compassion for all people, regardless of race—despite any judgment from neighbors steeped in prejudice. In 1966, Carter, the oldest of those four children, lost the Georgia gubernatorial primary to a segregationist. Four years later, he managed to win the support of some prominent segregationists in the state by ceding ground to them: He said that he would allow George Wallace, perhaps the most famous of them all, to speak at the state house if he won. But, after winning the office, Carter made it clear that he hadn’t totally abandoned his principles, as TIME recounted in the 1976 story: " " Sure enough, in the presidential primaries that year, again and again Carter carried the African American vote. As TIME , “The phenomenon of blacks backing a Southern white reared in the Georgia backwoods is one of the most intriguing aspects of the campaign to date.” Though support for Carter was driven by his record of conciliation, which he often couched in spiritual language, it was also helped by the fact that George Wallace was one of his main opponents. That choice helped many voters overlook the moments when Carter's civil rights record could be called into doubt, such as his wavering support for busing to integrate schools. During the presidential campaign, Carter also had to for what he called a "careless" choice of words in defense of his stance in opposition to legislating the integration of neighborhoods. (His discussion of the "purity" of communities called to mind, for many, some of history's worst examples of prejudice.) But as TIME noted when naming him 1976’s , his success “destroyed forever the hopes of Alabama’s George Wallace of rising to national power —a possibility already dimmed by the bullet of a would-be assassin. By showing that a nonracist Southerner could win a major party nomination, Carter gave new pride to his region and went far to heal ancient wounds.” After his Presidency, following a period of relative seclusion in his Georgia hometown, he returned to public life and brought his ideals with him, devoting his life to bettering the world. In 1989, TIME that he “may be the best former President America has ever had”; in 2002, he was awarded a Nobel Peace Price. Not that those who followed his career would be surprised. by TIME, shortly before he came into the White House, whether all the work he had to do was an overwhelming prospect, Jimmy Carter showed the same humble dedication that would carry him through the decades that followed: “Yes,” he said, “but not so much that I would want someone else to do it.” :No. 22 Iowa State still has a chance to play for a Big 12 title as Cyclones prepare to face Utah

Long-suffering fans of the Dallas Cowboys could be forgiven for thinking that their season from hell couldn't possibly get any worse. Unfortunately, however, there is every chance that the iconic NFL franchise is still making its way to rock-bottom as they prepare to face the in-form Washington Commanders on Sunday. Record defeats, a miserable home losing streak and a season-ending injury to star quarterback Dak Prescott would have been bad enough. But on Monday, just to add to the impression of an organization engulfed by chaos, sections of metal sheeting from the roof of the AT&T Stadium plunged to the field before the team slumped to an abject 34-10 defeat to Houston. The jokes about the sky falling in on Dallas wrote themselves. Not for the first time, the franchise that likes to think of itself as "America's Team" had instead become America's punchline. But after the Cowboys latest loss, which virtually extinguished any chance of a ticket to the post-season, even the team's harshest critics began to take pity. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith, who regularly delights in trolling the Cowboys, insisted that the club's crisis was no laughing matter. "This is a horror show," Smith said solemnly on ESPN's 'First Take' program this week. "I like getting on the Cowboys fans, and I enjoy their misery. But they've stripped the fun out of this because of how god-awful they have been. I can't believe how bad they are." The Cowboys' fall from grace has been decades in the making. The team which dominated the NFL in the early part of the 1990s -- winning three Super Bowls in four seasons between 1993 and 1996 -- has not been back to the championship game since that golden era. Head coaches and quarterbacks have come and gone, and none have come close to returning the Cowboys to the pinnacle of the NFL, despite the team being ranked as the most valuable sports franchise in the world according to Forbes, with a valuation of $11 billion. The one constant during those decades of disappointment has been owner Jerry Jones, the Texas billionaire who bought the team in 1989. Jones, one of the NFL's most colorful and polarizing personalities, was at a loss to explain the team's current problems. "I don't know that there's anything beyond the obvious -- and that is we just aren't playing very well," Jones told reporters after Monday's home defeat to Houston. The Cowboys stat-line this season makes for grim reading. After opening the campaign with a 33-17 defeat of Cleveland, the wheels came off in a 44-19 home loss to the New Orleans Saints where Dallas' vaunted defense leaked a whopping six touchdowns. To date, the Saints have scored more touchdowns at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington this season than the Cowboys. Other brutal losses have followed, notably a 47-9 home shellacking by the Detroit Lions, and a 34-6 trouncing by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys, who are 3-7 in the NFC East, are the only team in North American professional sport who have not managed to win a game at home in 2024. There is every chance that Washington, led by their talented rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and expertly coached by former Dallas defensive guru Dan Quinn, will add to the Cowboys' woe when they host the Texas club on Sunday. It has left Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, who is in the final year of his contract, facing a bleak future. McCarthy put a defiant face on his team's problems as they attempt to somehow stop the bleeding. "We got seven losses. We've got to go. Backs against the wall. We got to fight, scratch, claw," McCarthy said. "We've got to do everything we can to go win the next game. That's where my mind's at." Jones, meanwhile, attempted to put a brave face on the team's season of woe, insisting he has seen worse. "You stay in this league long enough, you'll have times like this," the 82-year-old tycoon said. rcw/js

NEW YORK —The New York Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection is providing tips to help consumers navigate return and refund policies. According to the National Retail Federation, this year’s holiday weekend from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday set record levels for consumer spending. The State of Retail Returns 2024 Report states $743 billion dollars’ worth of merchandise were returned last year. However, policies vary from store to store, making returns and refunds a challenge at times. Consumers should be aware of laws that protect them so they can make informed decisions about holiday returns and understand what to look for when reviewing return and refund policies. “As the holiday shopping season comes to an end, both gift givers and receivers may have changed their minds about what they bought,” Secretary of State Walter T. Mosley said in a news release. “But depending on where you’re returning the items, there may be some limitations. It’s important for consumers to pay attention, prior to purchase, the return and refund policy so you can exchange that item you’ll never use for something you love.” The Division of Consumer Protection offers the following tips to help consumers navigate return and refund policies: Pay Attention to Return Policies: New York State law requires that stores post their refund policies conspicuously – on the item, at the store entrance or on or near the cash register. Retailers must provide a written copy of the store’s return policy when requested. New York State Law does not require retailers to accept returns; however, they must post a conspicuous notice visible to consumers before the point of sale, advising that no returns will be accepted.If the retailer does not post a return policy, the law requires the retailer accept returns of unused, undamaged merchandise within 30 days of the purchase date. The returned item must include a proof of purchase and the refund must be in the form of cash or credit based on the customer’s preference.Understand the Refund Terms: For retailers that allow returns, New York State law does not require refunds to be given in any specific manner. However, it does require the form of the refund – cash, credit or exchange – be clearly disclosed in advance of purchase. Retailers must also disclose any fees associated with the return. If no fee is listed, customers should inquire whether the store imposes a re-stocking fee for returned merchandise and determine prior to purchase if the item can be returned for a refund or only store credit. Retain Any Proofs of Purchase: Consumers should hold on to receipts in the event a product needs to be returned. If purchasing gifts, ask if a gift receipt is available. It is also advised to keep the packaging of an item, along with its confirmation number. Consumers having difficulty obtaining a refund are encouraged to file a complaint with the New York State Division of Consumer Protection.
