ez jili Former President has died at the age of 100. The 39th president of the United States was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government when he assumed the presidency in 1977 and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter died Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in Plains, Georgia. At age 52, Carter was sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 1977, after defeating President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election. Carter left office on Jan. 20, 1981, following his 1980 general election loss to Ronald Reagan. Here’s the latest: Commemoration in New York City To commemorate Carter’s death, officials with the Empire State Building said in a post on social media that the iconic New York City landmark would be lit in red, white and blue on Sunday night, “to honor the life and legacy” of the late former president. The Obamas recall Carter’s Sunday services In a statement issued Sunday, former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama said Carter’s beloved Maranatha Baptist Church “will be a little quieter on Sunday,s” but added that the late former president “will never be far away — buried alongside Rosalynn next to a willow tree down the road, his memory calling all of us to heed our better angels.” Noting the “hundreds of tourists from around the world crammed into the pews” to see the former president teach Sunday school, as he did “for most of his adult life,” the Obamas listed Carter’s accomplishments as president. But they made special note of the Sunday school lessons, saying they were catalysts for people making a pilgrimage to the church. “Many people in that church on Sunday morning were there, at least in part, because of something more fundamental: President Carter’s decency.” A somber announcement The died Sunday, more than a year after entering , at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, who , spent most of their lives. “Our founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, passed away this afternoon in Plains, Georgia,” The Carter Center said in posting about his death on the social media platform X. It added in a statement that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family. A Southerner and a man of faith In his 1975 book “Why Not The Best,” Carter said of himself: “I am a Southerner and an American, I am a farmer, an engineer, a father and husband, a Christian, a politician and former governor, a planner, a businessman, a nuclear physicist, a naval officer, a canoeist, and among other things a lover of Bob Dylan’s songs and Dylan Thomas’s poetry.” A moderate Democrat, as a little-known Georgia governor with a broad smile, outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. After he left office and returned home to his tiny hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia, Carter regularly at Maranatha Baptist Church until his mobility declined. Those sessions drew visitors from around the world. Former Vice President Gore remembers Carter for life “of purpose” Former Vice President praised Jimmy Carter for living “a life full of purpose, commitment and kindness” and for being a “lifelong role model for the entire environmental movement.” Carter, who left the White House in 1981 after a landslide defeat to Ronald Reagan. concentrated on conflict resolution, defending democracy and fighting disease in the developing world. Gore, who lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, remains a leading advocate for action to fight climate change. Both won Nobel Peace Prizes. Gore said that “it is a testament to his unyielding determination to help build a more just and peaceful world” that Carter is often “remembered equally for the work he did as President as he is for his leadership over the 42 years after he left office.” During Gore’s time in the White House, President Bill Clinton had an uneasy relationship with Carter. But Gore said he is “grateful” for “many years of friendship and collaboration” with Carter. The Clintons react to Jimmy Carter’s death Former President former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, remember Carter as a man who lived to serve others. “Hillary and I mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter and give thanks for his long, good life. Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others — until the very end.” The statement recalled Carter’s many achievements and priorities, including efforts “to protect our natural resources in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, make energy conservation a national priority, return the Panama Canal to Panama, and secure peace between Egypt and Israel at Camp David.” After he left office, the Clinton statement said, Carter continued efforts in “supporting honest elections, advancing peace, combating disease, and promoting democracy; to his and Rosalynn’s devotion and hard work at Habitat for Humanity — he worked tirelessly for a better, fairer world,” the statement said.

Before this time of the month was hijacked by the secular progressives as “the holidays” in deference to everyone – except the ones who have a real reason for the season – it was called Christmas. Associated with Christmas, including sentiments on cards we once sent to friends and family before the postage rates and cost of cards became too expensive for many, were the words from Scripture about the night the Savior was born: “Peace on Earth, goodwill to Men.” The reaction by radicals to two events in New York City again demonstrates how far we are from achieving peace of the social kind, much less goodwill of the political kind. Following the acquittal of Daniel Penny, found not guilty by an NYC jury in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, (a man on New York City’s informal “Top 50 List” of home less people considered to be the most in need of assistance and treatment), members of Black Lives Matter threatened Penny inside the courtroom and later on the street in front of media and protesters. Walter “Hawk” Newsome, a BLM leader, even called for “Black vigilantes,” suggesting Black people should murder white people in revenge. Another BLM protester falsely claimed the Penny jury was composed entirely of white people. It included Blacks, Hispanics and whites. But why let facts get in the way of a familiar narrative promoted by what New York Post columnist Adam Coleman has called the “Civil Rights Industrial Complex.” The second example of this continuing madness came after the murder of United Health Care CEO Brian Thompson by a man allegedly angry at health insurance companies. On social media, many suggested it would be a good idea for people to kill other health insurance CEOs. In fact, some of the problems with health insurance can be attributed to Obamacare, (aka The Affordable Care Act). While there can be no justification for what appears to have been the pre-meditated murder of Thompson, some facts about health insurance, its costs, and the reasons for denial of some claims can be traced to the involvement of government, which has a history of driving up prices whenever it inserts itself into the private sector. A report by the House Committee on Education and the WorkForce proves this point: 1. Obamacare has increased the cost of health care and health insurance. The ACA’s federal mandates and spending, including Medicaid expansion and subsidized individual plans, have drastically increased the cost of health care and health insurance. 2. Obamacare increases Americans’ reliance on the federal government ... Democrats are attempting to ... increase workers’ reliance on the federal government by moving them to exchange plans with higher deductibles, lower actuarial value, and narrower networks. 3. On a per person basis, Obamacare is far more expensive than anticipated for taxpayers. Employer-sponsored insurance provides better coverage and a better bargain for taxpayers compared to government-run health care programs. 4. Obamacare’s “expansion” is due in large part to improper Medicaid enrollments. In 2020, improper Medicaid payments totaled $86 billion, an increase of 21.4 percent. Most of these improper payments were due to eligibility errors. According to Dr. Brian Blase, the president of Paragon Health Institute, anywhere from 2.3 million to 3.3. million people are on Medicaid who do not actually qualify. Perhaps the most laughable comment after Penny’s acquittal came from the always reliable Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who said subway riders should be afraid of Penny because in her view he has not expressed remorse over Neely’s death. If fault is to be assigned it should go to the voters who elected New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), the prosecutor in this weak case, and to New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D), who refuses to remove the progressive Bragg from office. It is to be hoped that these latest incidents and the reaction to them by radicals will diminish the attention the media give to race-hustlers and anti-capitalists. That might contribute to more peace in America and goodwill among us.

Tetairoa McMillan, one of the best wide receivers in Arizona history, will skip his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced on social media on Thursday.

I tell everybody, stay at home. Be safe. Stay at home,” said Pat Dunn. All schools were closed across Bruce, Grey, Huron and Perth Counties due to blizzard like conditions across the region. Several roads were closed, events were cancelled, even snowplows were pulled off the roads near Kincardine due to the onslaught of snow. “You just can't see anything. It's awful,” said Sidney Meyers, who travelled from Hanover to Wingham Thursday morning. As much as 60 centimetres of snow is expected to fall through Friday evening for the worst hit parts of the region. That’s on top of as much as 100 centimetres, which fell last week. “We're back almost to the old-fashioned style of winter,” said Dunn. “I know it's a lot of shock for a lot of people. It's the nice thing about technology. We can do an awful lot of things from the truck. You make phone calls, talk to people. A lot of people are home because they're not out and about. We do have to do the odd site visit, but, yeah, you just deal with it and stay in one spot as long as you can. Do your best.” Dunn was limiting his travel as much as he could Thursday, working for a fuel company. Emergency services were warning motorists to travel only if it was absolutely necessary, and to be prepared if they did venture out with a full tank of gas, a charged cell phone, and the winter necessities to survive potentially hours stuck in a ditch. Blizzard-like conditions in Wingham, Ont. seen on Dec. 12, 2024. (Scott Miller/CTV News London) “Ask yourself, could we sit here for a few hours and be comfortable if we had to? We just don't want to see people heading out unprepared,” said Const. Craig Soldan with Huron County OPP. “They don't have any warm clothing. They don't have a blanket; they don't have a charged cell phone or a cell cord even to charge their phone in the car. You don't want to be in that situation.” Blizzard-like conditions in Wingham, Ont. seen on Dec. 12, 2024. (Scott Miller/CTV News London) The blizzard-like conditions are expected to subside sometime on Friday, but until then, midwestern Ontario is pretty much closed. “Yeah, it's pretty rough. Anybody who's going out anywhere outside of town, I don't think I'd be able to work around that. I'd be going stir crazy saying, being like, I'm going to stay at home,” said Meyers. “It's been a wild winter so far. I’m waiting for spring,” said another driver, filling up their gas tank in Wingham. Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

United Airlines travelers with lost luggage have a new tool to track their bags. If the lost bag has an Apple AirTag in it, that information can now be passed directly to United, the airline announced Thursday. The new feature, called Share Item Location, allows travelers with an AirTag or other Find My network accessory to share the location with the airline’s customer service team to help locate their luggage in the event it’s misplaced. United says more than 99% of its customers pick up their luggage without a hitch. The feature is now available with iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 or macOS 15.2. “Apple’s new Share Item Location feature will help customers travel with even more confidence, knowing they have another way to access their bag’s precise location with AirTag or their Find My accessory of choice,” said David Kinzelman, United’s chief customer officer. People are also reading... Travelers on United whose bags do not arrive at their destination can file a delayed baggage report with United and share the link to the item’s location either through the United app or via text message. After the report has been submitted, customer service agents will be able to locate the item on an interactive map alongside a timestamp of a recent update. The shared location will be disabled after a customer has the bag, and customers can also stop sharing the location of the item at any time on their own.

A_169 (6,000).Actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan has blamed Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for his poor performance in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Contesting from the Versova constituency, Ajaz surprisingly secured only 155 votes, even fewer than the votes received by NOTA (None of the Above). Ajaz, who is best known for his controversies and viral videos, took to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) account and said that those who are veterans in Maharashtra politics have also failed to secured votes in the assembly polls. Ajaz wrote, "EVM ka khel hai sab.. Jo saalo se contest kar rahe hai aur politics mein hai, badi party, bada naam wo candidates haar rahe hain, ya phir bahut kam votes laaye hain. Main toh social worker hu jo logo ki awaaz banne koshish karta hu. Aur koshish karta rahunga (It's all a game of EVMs... Candidates who have been contesting for years, have a strong political background, belong to big parties, and have well-known names are losing or getting very few votes. I am just a social worker trying to be the voice of the people, and I will keep trying)." He added, "Mujhe afsos unn logo ke liye hai jinke paas party ka naam tha, khudka track record tha, jinhone croro kharch kardiye 15 din mein, woh bahut bura haar gaye. Sab EVM ka khel hai Bhayya (I feel sorry for those who had the backing of a political party, a good track record, and spent crores in just 15 days, yet faced a humiliating defeat)." EVM ka khel hai sab.. Jo saalo se Contest karrahe hai aur Politics mei hai, badi party , bada naam wo candidates haar rahe hain, ya Phir Bahut kam Votes laaye hain. Mai toh Social worker hu jo logo ki awaaz banne koshish karta hu. Aur koshish karta rahunga . Par Mujhe afsos... Ajaz contested the elections on a Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) ticket. The party is headed by Chandrashekhar Azad 'Ravan' who is an MP from UP's Nagina. The actor is no stranger to politics and has time and again dabbled in professions and activities other than acting. However, with merely 155 seats, the political fortunes of the actor looks bleak. Ajaz is a popular face on TV and social media, thanks to his antics on and off the (small) screen. The actor has over 5.6 million followers on Instagram. However, if the actor fancied any chances of his massive social media following translating into votes for him, he was clearly delusional.
