What if that's wrong? What if elites are the ones who are bitterly divided while most Americans are fairly unified? History rarely lines up perfectly with the calendar (the "sixties" didn't really start until the decade was almost over). But politically, the 21st century neatly began in 2000, when the election ended in a tie and the color coding of electoral maps became enshrined as a kind of permanent tribal color war of "red vs. blue." Elite understanding of politics has been stuck in this framework ever since. Politicians and voters have leaned into this alleged political reality, making it seem all the more real in the process. I loathe the phrase "perception is reality," but in politics it has the reifying power of self-fulfilling prophecy. Like rival noble families in medieval Europe, elites have been vying for power and dominance on the arrogant assumption that their subjects share their concern for who rules rather than what the rulers can deliver. In 2018, the group More in Common published a massive report on the "hidden tribes" of American politics. The wealthiest and whitest groups were "devoted conservatives" (6%) and "progressive activists" (8%). These tribes dominate the media, the parties and higher education, and they dictate the competing narratives of red vs. blue, particularly on cable news and social media. Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Americans resided in, or were adjacent to, the "exhausted majority." These people, however, "have no narrative," as David Brooks wrote at the time. "They have no coherent philosophic worldview to organize their thinking and compel action." Lacking a narrative might seem like a very postmodern problem, but in a postmodern elite culture, postmodern problems are real problems. Listen now and subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | RSS Feed | SoundStack | All Of Our Podcasts It's worth noting that red vs. blue America didn't emerge ex nihilo. The 1990s were a time when the economy and government seemed to be working, at home and abroad. As a result, elites leaned into the narcissism of small differences to gain political and cultural advantage. They remain obsessed with competing, often apocalyptic, narratives. That leaves out most Americans. The gladiatorial combatants of cable news, editorial pages and academia, and their superfan spectators, can afford these fights. Members of the exhausted majority are more interested in mere competence. I think that's the hidden unity elites are missing. This is why we keep throwing incumbent parties out of power: They get elected promising competence but get derailed -- or seduced -- by fan service to, or trolling of, the elites who dominate the national conversation. There's a difference between competence and expertise. One of the most profound political changes in recent years has been the separation of notions of credentialed expertise from real-world competence. This isn't a new theme in American life, but the pandemic and the lurch toward identity politics amplified distrust of experts in unprecedented ways. This is a particular problem for the left because it is far more invested in credentialism than the right. Indeed, some progressives are suddenly realizing they invested too much in the authority of experts and too little in the ability of experts to provide what people want from government, such as affordable housing, decent education and low crime. The New York Times' Ezra Klein says he's tired of defending the authority of government institutions. Rather, "I want them to work." One of the reasons progressives find Trump so offensive is his absolute inability to speak the language of expertise -- which is full of coded elite shibboleths. But Trump veritably shouts the language of competence. I don't mean he is actually competent at governing. But he is effectively blunt about calling leaders, experts and elites -- of both parties -- stupid, ineffective, weak and incompetent. He lost in 2020 because voters didn't believe he was actually good at governing. He won in 2024 because the exhausted majority concluded the Biden administration was bad at it. Nostalgia for the low-inflation pre-pandemic economy was enough to convince voters that Trumpian drama is the tolerable price to pay for a good economy. About 3 out of 4 Americans who experienced "severe hardship" because of inflation voted for Trump. The genius of Trump's most effective ad -- "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" -- was that it was simultaneously culture-war red meat and an argument that Harris was more concerned about boutique elite concerns than everyday ones. If Trump can actually deliver competent government, he could make the Republican Party the majority party for a generation. For myriad reasons, that's an if so big it's visible from space. But the opportunity is there -- and has been there all along.Stocks closed higher on Wall Street, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to another all-time high.

How Trump's bet on voters electing him managed to silence some of his legal woesThe Minnesota Wild have come out strong this season, posting an impressive 13-3-4 record through 20 games. Their fast start has surprised many, including their own fans, especially after they missed the playoffs last year. With their current performance, they’re quickly making a statement and exceeding expectations. The team is also dealing with a few minor injuries to key players, including Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, and Joel Eriksson Ek. The good news is that all 3 are expected to be back soon, with Kaprizov potentially returning as soon as tonight. Buy Minnesota Wild stock now..? It’s pretty wild (no pun intended) that sportsbooks are still overlooking how solid the Minnesota Wild have been this season. Despite their strong performance, they’re sitting at 20/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup, which puts them 13th overall. How does that even make sense? The top sports books in the country, including DraftKings , FanDuel , and ESPN Bet , all have the Minnesota Wild listed at +2000 (20/1). Here’s a look at the teams currently ranked ahead of the Wild on the betting market. FLA Panthers: +800 EDM Oilers: +800 CAR Hurricanes: +800 DAL Stars: +900 NY Rangers: +1000 TOR Maple Leafs: +1100 COL Avalanche: +1200 NJ Devils: +1400 WPG Jets: +1400 VGK Golden Knights: +1800 VAN Canucks: +1800 TB Lightning: +1800 MIN Wild: +2000 DraftKings Out of the teams ranked ahead of the Minnesota Wild in the betting odds, only one is actually ahead of them in the current standings, the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets are sitting comfortably at 34 points, while the Wild are close behind with 30 points. For some reason, Vegas sees the Minnesota Wild as a non factor. Sure, their winning pace might slow down, but this team has already proven they’re legit. So far, they’ve shown they can beat anyone. Only time will tell if they can keep it up. With Vegas not being sold on the Minnesota Wild yet, that could work in your favor. If they keep up their winning ways, their odds are only going to drop as the season goes on. So, if you’re into betting, now might be the perfect time to grab them at a good value before those odds get tighter.

Lina Hurtig’s late poke-in ensured Arsenal secured a spot in the Champions League knockout stage with two group games remaining, a 1-0 win over Juventus enough to put them clear at the expense of the Italian club. The Gunners needed a win to ensure progression to the quarter-finals after Bayern Munich’s 1-1 draw with Valerenga in Norway. Instead of the Group C standings being finely poised, Hurtig’s goal gave them the breathing room they so desperately wanted before they face Bayern at Meadow Park to very likely decide who tops the group. “It’s the ultimate end to a very busy and intense block we have had,” said interim manager Renée Slegers. “It means a lot. All of the players totally deserve it. It gives us some breathing space in the last two games as well.” Slegers’s side were unchanged from the team that earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Tottenham at the weekend, Katie McCabe pushing forward when the Gunners were in possession leaving Leah Williamson, Steph Catley and Emily Fox to operate as a back three. It has been a successful play for Arsenal in recent weeks, the extra attacking player helping them pick open stubborn defences, but Juventus had done their homework and frustrated them for 89 minutes. There was no room for complacency despite the 4-0 defeat of Juventus in the reverse fixture the preceding week. It would be unfair to suggest that scoreline flattered Arsenal, but the game in Biella was far from easy. It took the Gunners until the 75th minute to get their second and put the game to bed, with Slegers saying that had taken a lot out of them “physically and psychologically”. At a bitterly cold Emirates Stadium, there was frustration as congestion getting into the ground meant that some fans missed the first 15 minutes and arrived to find their seats taken. The club had to open another block in the lower tier to find space for them. It was not ideal, but is ultimately a teething problem as the club balances the varying crowd sizes for women’s fixtures at the ground and the right levels of staffing required. are all but through to the Women's Champions League quarter-finals after a 4-1 win over in Vienna. Two goals from Kika Nazareth, plus strikes from Vicky López and Alexia Putellas, ensured a dominant victory for the visitors, though the Austrian side nabbed a consolation via Valentina Mädl. While Hammarby could still technically progress from Group D despite their 2-1 defeat to the frontrunners, Manchester City, they would need to beat Barça 10-0, having lost 9-0 in Catalonia in October. Elsewhere, in Group C, were held to a 1-1 draw by after Elise Thorsnes's late equaliser cancelled out Jovana Damnjanovic's opener. The result represents a window of opportunity for Arsenal after their 1-0 win over Juventus. While Bayern still top the group, their lead has been cut to one point with two games left to play including, in December, a trip to Meadow Park. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on which way you look at it, they didn’t miss much. Arsenal have scored 19 goals in six games since Jonas Eidevall departed and Slegers was appointed as interim manager, prior to the visit of Juventus, but against the Italian club it was 24 minutes before the home team had their first convincing chance, Frida Maanum firing over from a tight angle. Other moments of note? Arsenal centre-back Leah Williamson taking a goal kick ahead of keeper Daphne van Domselaar. That was about it. Arsenal had dominated possession, having over 75% of the ball, but had just the one shot to show for it from the first half. After the break, the story was similar, the home team struggling to break through the organised defensive line of the Italian side. They would go agonisingly close just before the hour mark in quick succession. First, when Katie McCabe’s backheel found Caldentey and the Spaniard played it centrally to an unmarked Maanum, but she put her effort wide of the near post, the fans’ half-celebrations quelled as the ball hit the electronic hoardings. Then, when a goalmouth scramble saw Foord have a shot blocked on the line. Despite visibly tiring, the visiting team sensed they could snatch more than a point and Van Domselaar would be called into action for the first time with 15 minutes remaining, getting down to push away Arianna Caruso’s low effort towards the far corner. Substitute Hurtig twice had the vocal 9,963 crowd gasping, the second of her two headers flying over the bar from the six-yard line with the goal gaping and the keeper nowhere. It felt like the odds were against them, but the Swede would be Arsenal’s saviour, poking fellow sub Stina Blackstenius’s cross off the foot of a defender and in, before she could clear, in the 89th minute to seal victory. There was relief in the celebrations. Slegers’ record remains close to unblemished, with six wins and a draw from seven matches. The Renéessance continues. “It’s surreal to be honest,” said the manager. “I never felt we would get into this situation. We have done really well but I was part of Jonas [Eidevall’s] staff and there was so much that was built during his time. I don’t want to separate that. There is so much we are still building on. It’s surreal in so many ways but we are very happy.”A Missouri judge says a law banning surgery, medications for transgender minors is constitutional

Meat Market to grow by USD 537.1 Billion (2024-2028), driven by technological advancements, with a report on AI's impact on market trends - TechnavioSAN FRANCISCO – Even in the face of their otherwise excellent start, the Warriors on Monday night endured the same lesson they’ve been enduring so often this season. Can’t say they’ve learned that lesson, as failures still are too frequent. Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 The recipe to Golden State’s 128-120 loss to the Brooklyn Nets included one part of their typically poor free-throw shooting, one part unusually indifferent defense and – what surely is the most maddening – four parts of voluntary charity. The surest way to compromise any defense is by giving the opponent live-ball turnovers. “It’s impossible to defend it,” said Stephen Curry, who committed three turnovers. “And that can decide a game. We won the possession game, got 10 more shots than they did. Almost the same amount of threes (19 to Brooklyn’s 20). They got 15 more free-throw makes. But that 14 points on easy buckets or easy possessions, whether it’s them knocking down transition threes or getting to the basket, there’s no defense for it.” The Warriors handed out 13 turnovers, not a horrible number. What was damaging is that those turnovers gave Brooklyn 26 points and essentially paved a path to Golden State’s first back-to-back defeats this season – both of which came after coughing up large third-quarter leads. They led by 17 inside the final two minutes of the third quarter at San Antonio on Saturday and lost by 10 . They led by 18 with less than seven minutes remaining in the third quarter Monday and lost by eight before a sellout crowd (18,064) at Chase Center. The Nets began their surge over those final seven minutes and continued until the final buzzer. They outscored the Warriors 60-34 over the final 19 minutes. “We’ve generally done a better job of taking care of the ball, for the most part,” coach Steve Kerr said. “Thirteen turnovers [are] not a bad number, but they scored every time off them. There were some bad ones that really hurt; they were kind of automatic conversations. The ones that we had really took our momentum away, so we’ve just got to keep getting better.” The Warriors are averaging 14.6 turnovers per game, roughly the same as last season (14.3). The league has changed such that they were 23rd in turnovers last season yet have climbed to 15th-best this season. This is, however, the fifth game this season in which their donations have given opponents at least 20 points. The Nets scored 10 points off turnovers in the third quarter, which they closed with a 21-6 run. Much of what fueled their comeback can be attributed to Golden State’s live-ball turnovers. “We can’t set up our defense,” Gary Payton II explained. “At that point, we’re scrambling around. And if we’re scrambling, somebody is going to be open at some point and they get a good look. And teams are hitting them. “If we take away the live turnovers and get back on defense, I’d like our chances with our set defense.” By the time the Warriors reduced their live-ball turnovers, the energy had gone to the Nets, who scored five more gift points while finishing the Warriors in the fourth quarter. Brooklyn after halftime shot 56.1 percent from the field, including 45.5 percent from distance. That’s successive games in which the Warriors staggered toward the finish. The Warriors sit in second place in the Western Conference. They have an impressive 12-5 record. Yet even with their revamped roster, they’re displaying disturbing shades of last season, which ended with them trudging into an offseason without playoffs. “You don’t want to overreact, right?” Kerr said. “Two games ago, everyone was feeling great. We were 12-3. We’ve had big leads in late third in both games. We have to address what’s happened in these last two games. I don’t think it’s a fatigue thing. I think it’s an execution thing. “We need to execute better, and that’s on me as the coach,” he added. “We’ll get them in here tomorrow for a practice, which we need, and we’ll get back to executing better. Giving up 41 in the fourth, that’s tough to overcome.” Practice will, without a doubt, focus on execution. There also will be sufficient time to practice free throws. Either the Warriors will curb their tendency to give free money to opponents, or their impressive first month will be a distant memory – or a wistful game of “If Only” – when confronting the final weeks of the regular season.
