NoneTrump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn't install more automated systemsENGLEWOOD, Colo. — What's stoking the Denver Broncos' surprising surge is the growing connection between rookie quarterback Bo Nix and veteran wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Whenever the Broncos (7-5) need a clutch catch, a key flag or a timely touchdown, Sutton is usually the one delivering it like he did Sunday when he caught eight passes on 10 targets for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns that sparked the Broncos' come-from-behind 29-19 win at Las Vegas. “Courtland played tremendous,” coach Sean Payton said. Again. “He’s just reliable,” Nix said. “He's just always there when you need him.” Sutton's size (6-foot-4 and 216 pounds) and experience (he's in his seventh NFL season) make him an ideal target and safety valve for the rookie QB whose confidence is growing by the week. “He’s smart. He’s savvy. He makes plays when the ball’s in the air,” Nix said. “You can trust him. When it’s up in the air, it’s his or nobody’s. It’s not going to be a pick.” Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Decamerion Richardson (25) collides with Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (14) for a penalty during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, in Las Vegas. Credit: AP/Rick Scuteri Nix's first touchdown toss to Sutton was an 18-yarder that allowed the QB to break Marlin Briscoe's 1968 Denver rookie record of 14 TD passes, and the two connected again with 5:30 left to make it a two-score game. The Broncos trailed 13-9 at halftime and Nix said they knew they had to get the ball into Sutton's hands more in the second half after he had caught the only pass thrown his way in the first half (for 17 yards). “Didn’t target him (much) in the first half,” Nix said. “We come out and say, ‘Look, Courtland, this is your half.’ We take over the game. He goes for two touchdowns. That just kind of speaks for what he means to our team.” Sutton has been on a tear after since he wasn't targeted a single time in Denver's 33-10 win at New Orleans on Oct. 17. (Payton mentioned as recently as last week what an anomaly that game was because there was a heavy diet of plays for Sutton that just didn't pan out for various reasons.) Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton pulls in a touchdown pass as Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Jack Jones (18) defends during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, in Las Vegas. Credit: AP/Rick Scuteri In his six games before that goose egg, Sutton had 21 catches on 49 targets for 277 yards and a touchdown. In the five games since, he's caught 36 of the 48 balls thrown his way for 467 yards and three TDs. Plus, he threw a touchdown pass to Nix on a “Philly Special” at Baltimore in Week 9. “I think we're just scratching the surface,” Sutton said. Thanks in part to the chemistry between Nix and Sutton, the Broncos are in position for the seventh and final playoff spot entering December. What’s working The passing game, thanks to the Nix-Sutton connection. What needs help The running game. Javonte Williams had just 2 yards on eight carries and Audric Estime ran three times for 15 yards against the Raiders' run-heavy fronts and a steady diet of blitzes. Jaleel McLaughlin saved the day with seven carries for 44 yards. Stock up OLB Nik Bonitto. His 10 sacks make him the first Denver defender with double-digit sacks since 2018, when Von Miller did it. Stock down Once again, the Broncos' special teams, with the exception of K Wil Lutz, who hasn't missed a field goal attempt or extra point since his protection unit cratered at Kansas City three weeks ago and allowed the Chiefs to block what would have been the game-winning kick as time expired. On Sunday, the Raiders had a successful fake punt and a 59-yard kickoff return. Injuries Payton isn't saying much about the injuries to DE Zach Allen (heel) and CB Riley Moss (knee) except that to him they're not serious setbacks for either player. Key number 2 — The Broncos are two games above .500 for the first time since starting the 2021 season with three wins. Next steps The Broncos host Cleveland (3-8) on Monday night ahead of their bye week.

Newcastle 0 West Ham 2: Aaron Wan-Bissaka hits rare Premier League goal as Hammers secure shock win on Tyneside( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) President trump Rings NYSE Bell and NYC Mayor Eric Adams Says There Are 500k Children Missing New York City, NY, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Link to ThinkCareBelieve's article: ThinkCareBelieve's article showcases President Donald J. Trump ringing the bell at the New York stock exchange this morning. The first President since Ronald Reagan who rang it on March 28, 1985. The crowd cheered for President Trump and chanted“USA” afterwards. President Trump has also been named Time Magazine's Person of The Year and is on the cover. ThinkCareBelieve's article discusses why President Trump is so deerving of this prestigious award because he is standing up to fight child and human trafficking in a very big way. The article explains how NYC Mayor Eric Adams made an announcement today that there are now 500,000 migrant children that came through the southern border and were placed with sponsors and are now missing . Just last year it was disclosed by HHS whistleblower Tara Rodas that the number of missing children was 85,000 and it is now a staggering 500,000 missing children. ThinkCareBelieve's article also shares interviews with actor Jim Caviezel and reporter Ryan Matta on the expansive operation of child trafficking and how it is run, who is managing it and how deep the corruption goes to get unaccompanied minor children to cross the border into the United States to be then placed with unvetted sponsors where they then go missing. The article also mentions newly appointed DNI Tulsi Gabbard 's message about the need to close down the US owned Biolabs in Ukraine and Jim Caviezel's description of what really goes on there and lack of coverage by the media on this matter of such great importance. ThinkCareBelieve is an outlook. ThinkCareBelieve's mission for Peace advocacy facilitates positive outcomes and expanded possibilities. To achieve Peace for humanity we all need to find the commonalities between diverse groups and bring the focus on common needs, working together toward shared goals. Activism is an important aspect of ThinkCareBelieve, because public participation and awareness to issues needing exposure to light leads to justice. Improved transparency in government can lead to changes in policy and procedure resulting in more fluid communication between the public and the government that serves them. America needs hope right now, and Americans need to be more involved in their government.

By BARBARA ORTUTAY, AP Technology Writer Nearly half of American teenagers say they are online “constantly” despite concerns about the effects of social media and smartphones on their mental health, according to a new report published Thursday by the Pew Research Center. As in past years, YouTube was the single most popular platform teenagers used — 90% said they watched videos on the site, down slightly from 95% in 2022. Nearly three-quarters said they visit YouTube every day. There was a slight downward trend in several popular apps teens used. For instance, 63% of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67% and Snapchat slipped to 55% from 59%. This small decline could be due to pandemic-era restrictions easing up and kids having more time to see friends in person, but it’s not enough to be truly meaningful . X saw the biggest decline among teenage users. Only 17% of teenagers said they use X, down from 23% in 2022, the year Elon Musk bought the platform. Reddit held steady at 14%. About 6% of teenagers said they use Threads, Meta’s answer to X that launched in 2023. The report comes as countries around the world are grappling with how to handle the effects of social media on young people’s well-being. Australia recently passed a law banning kids under 16 from social networks, though it’s unclear how it will be able to enforce the age limit — and whether it will come with unintended consequences such as isolating vulnerable kids from their peers.

Pew also asked kids how often they use various online platforms. Small but significant numbers said they are on them “almost constantly.” For YouTube, 15% reported constant use, for TikTok, 16% and for Snapchat, 13%. As in previous surveys, girls were more likely to use TikTok almost constantly while boys gravitated to YouTube. There was no meaningful gender difference in the use of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. Roughly a quarter of Black and Hispanic teens said they visit TikTok almost constantly, compared with just 8% of white teenagers. The report was based on a survey of 1,391 U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 conducted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 10, 2024.
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump is weighing in on an immigration program for skilled workers that has divided his supporters in a social media feud. The H-1B visa program allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. In an interview with the New York Post on Saturday, Trump said he has “always been in favor of the visas” and that he has used the program to hire for his businesses. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” Trump added. Trump is appearing to side with billionaire Elon Musk, who was once on a H-1B visa, and other tech industry allies who support the program. “The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk wrote Wednesday in a post on his social media platform X. “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.” But others in Trump’s base want to curtail the H-1B program. Critics argue it undercuts American workers and leads to lower wages. Trump himself has previously been critical of the program. During his first term, he backed several policies limiting foreign worker visas. “I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions,” Trump said in 2016. The political rift is a preview of the debate that’s likely to play out within the GOP in the early days of the Trump administration, as a Republican-controlled Congress is expected to take on immigration reform. Trump didn’t appear to address plans for H-1B visas in his interview Saturday. Trump’s transition team didn’t directly address emailed questions about potential reforms and whether Trump’s tech industry allies have swayed his views on the program. Instead, they referred to a speech Trump gave in 2020 about prominent figures in American history. The online clash about foreign worker visas was fueled by Trump’s choice to name technology entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as his senior policy adviser on artificial intelligence. Krishnan has previously called for removing caps on green cards and other policies to “unlock skilled immigration.” During his most recent campaign, Trump said during a podcast interview that he would support automatic green cards for international students who graduate from American colleges and universities. It comes as foreign-born workers are playing a big role in the development of AI. According to an analysis from the National Foundation for American Policy, immigrants co-founded more than half of the top AI companies in the United States.
