Stock market today: Wall Street rises with Nvidia as bitcoin bursts above $99,000For those on the right side of the political aisle, 2024 was a mixed bag. We had to trudge through the final year of Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency while fighting to prevent the administration from inflicting further economic carnage. Yet we also received an enormous gift with the victory of President-elect Donald Trump. Here are my top five moments of 2024. By far, this was best. Things did not look good for Trump at the start of the year, as he faced a litany of felony charges across multiple jurisdictions. But despite the legal onslaught, Trump refused to back down. (tncms-inline)9a826eb8-a769-4b71-b7ae-7e84438f7477[0](/tncms-inline) Aside from his legal problems, Trump faced several opponents as he fought for the GOP presidential nomination. In the spring, many political pundits and talking heads thought Trump could not win the Republican nomination. Yet he emerged victorious and united the GOP under the “Make America Great Again” banner. Trump then pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in political history as he cruised to victory and helped the Republican Party gain control of both houses of Congress. This election will go down in history as a turning point, considering the vast inroads Trump made among voters who traditionally voted for Democrats. Though the polls were tight heading into the debate between Trump and Biden, the absolutely pitiful performance by Biden completely changed the race. Soon after Biden flopped in front of millions of Americans, the Democratic Party pulled the plug on his reelection effort. Of course, this short-sighted move benefited Trump greatly, as it demonstrated that the sitting president was going senile. More important, it led to the rise of Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket. Considering Harris’ flip-flops on basically every central policy position, it really was a blessing in disguise that she inherited Biden’s place and was eventually destroyed by Trump. This could have easily been first or second on my list. In midsummer, Trump was crisscrossing the country, holding outdoor rallies. Unfortunately, Trump’s proclivity to engage with his supporters nearly cost him his life. But despite two would-be assassins somehow evading Secret Service detection — and one fired several shots — Trump was largely unharmed. While this was a blessing, we must never forget that one person, Corey Comperatore, died at the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally, and two others were wounded. On Oct. 14, SpaceX launched its Super Heavy Starship, the most powerful rocket in the world. Then, in an unprecedented engineering marvel, the 23-story-tall Super Heavy booster returned to the launch pad in an upright position and was “caught” without a hitch. It was like something straight out of a science-fiction movie, and it demonstrated that the age of space exploration has entered a new chapter. The department, known as DOGE, is an early Christmas present for conservatives and libertarians. For decades, we have been warning that the size and scope of the federal government is unsustainable and that big government is bad news for personal liberty. Finally, some significant spending cuts and institutional reforms are in the offing. With the national debt exceeding $36 trillion and trillion-dollar deficits the new normal, we need to downsize the federal bureaucracy and get back on sound fiscal footing before it is too late.

It comes more than a year after his wife Rosalynn Carter , the former First Lady of the United States, died in November 2023 aged 96 . Rosalynn and Jimmy quite literally spent a lifetime together, being introduced when she was only ten minutes old.  Watch the video above. READ MORE: Real cost of Charles and Camilla's royal tour to Aussie taxpayers revealed In a 2021 interview with The Washington Post , the couple revealed that the hardest part of ageing was knowing "that one would leave the other behind." In a statement released hours after his wife's death, Jimmy said, "Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished, she gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it." "As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me." The couple's love story began on a mid-August night in 1927. READ MORE: Expert predicts 'difficult' 2025 for British royal family Lilian Carter helped deliver a baby girl in her hometown of Plains, Georgia. The baby girl, Eleanor Rosalynn Smith – or Rosalynn, for short – was the daughter of her close family friends, the Smiths. Lilian soon after brought her three-year-old toddler, Jimmy, into the hospital to meet his new friend and unbeknownst to him, his future wife. Whilst their families were acquainted, Jimmy and Rosalynn were not close friends throughout their childhood or teenage years. Rosalynn formed a closer friendship with Jimmy's younger sister Ruth, who was closer to the future First Lady in age.  For a daily dose of 9Honey, subscribe to our newsletter here In fact, at the time Rosalynn didn't give Jimmy much of a second glance at all – that was until she saw a picture of him in his Navy uniform after he joined the United States Naval Academy. "I spent a lotta time at that house, but he was always off at school," Rosalynn Carter told ABC News. "He was so good to Ruth. He would write her letters, and she talked about him all the time. And she had his photograph on the wall in her bedroom. And I literally did fall in love with that photograph." READ MORE:  How Queen Mary of Denmark became the monarch's 'secret weapon' While on a short stint back in his hometown from the naval base, Jimmy ran into Rosalynn and on a whim asked her on a date. Just like many of us, the pair spent their first date at the movies. When Jimmy returned home, he adamantly told his mother that he had just gone out with the woman he was going to marry. The young couple began to date but due to Jimmy's training at the United States Naval Academy, they spent much of their early days together long-distance. However, Jimmy never let distance get in the way of his blossoming love, the youngster coined an acronym just for Rosalynn "ILYTG" – "I love you the goodest" – as a way to express his affections from afar. READ MORE: Uncomfortable topic plagues teen prodigy wherever she goes When Jimmy finally worked up the courage to ask Rosalynn to marry him – to his absolute bewilderment she said 'no'. Rosalynn had promised her father on his deathbed that she would graduate from college first and told Jimmy she had to keep her promise and not be distracted. "But he was persistent," she said. The couple eventually exchanged vows on July 7, 1946, in their hometown of Plains. Jimmy and Rosalyn moved around the country to wherever Jimmy's naval career would take him. However, once the war began to wind down, the pair returned to Georgia to grow the Carter family's peanut farming business. READ MORE: K-pop superstar had been famous for years but no one had ever seen her like this However, being back in the south, Jimmy and Rosalynn had come face-to-face with the abhorrent racism that was rife in Georgia and other neighbouring states. In his hometown of Plains, Jimmy became the only white man to refuse to join the White Citizens Council, which worked to promote segregation. In retaliation, the local townspeople attempted to boycott the Carters' peanut farm but this failed tremendously. Meanwhile, Jimmy continued to throw himself into community projects and by 1962 he had thrown his hat into the ring to represent the Democrats in the Georgia senate. Though he was initially beat out, Jimmy was able to prove his opponent had committed voter fraud thus making way for his eventual climb to presidency. Along his journey to presidency, Rosalynn was the hidden figure developing strategies as well as showing her husband public-facing support.

After this, he and Rosalynn moved back to Plains and threw themselves into humanitarian work including building houses for Habitat. According to Habitat, every year since 1984, former US president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter donated one week of his time – and his building skills – to Habitat. Speaking with The Washington Post just days before their 75th wedding anniversary, the couple explained that they had made peace with the inevitable truth that one would pass before the other. "We're going to be buried right there, on that little hill," Jimmy said, pointing to a hill beside the pond in their hometown. The couple had always planned to be buried there, the same place where they met, grew up, had their first date, married and started their political journey. In February, 2023, Jimmy entered hospice care at home after struggling with multiple health issues, including melanoma that had spread to his brain and liver. Rosalynn soon followed in November of 2023, just six months after being diagnosed with dementia. On the morning of November 20, 2023, the couple's foundation The Carter Centre announced that Rosalynn passed peacefully at home . The Carter Centre then confirmed on December 30, 2024, that Jimmy had died aged 100 peacefully, surrounded by his family.

Postseason ranking the top 10 Macomb County football teams of 2024Dara O’Shea’s performance on Sunday for Ipswich Town against Manchester United will give his international boss plenty of food for thought. There is a long way to go between now and the next international window, when Ireland face Bulgaria in late March in their Nations League promotion/relegation play-off double-header. So that’s plenty of time for Heimir Hallgrímsson to mull over his six games in charge so far, and what went right and what went wrong. READ MORE: Baffled Roy Keane blasts Manchester United reaction to going ahead against Ipswich READ MORE: Aaron Connolly on the sensible reason behind muted celebration of his first Sunderland goal One thing that emerged from the games against England, Finland and Greece was that Hallgrímsson felt that O’Shea was the best option to replace the crocked Seamus Coleman. Coleman started on the right of a three-man defence in the opener against England, with O’Shea on the left of that trio, in a team selection that was heavily influenced by John O’Shea. Over the next five games, with Coleman out and Matt Doherty largely sidelined, O’Shea started at right-back in four of them. And when Doherty returned to the starting-11 for the home win against Finland, he was replaced at right-back with 15 minutes to go by O’Shea. Hallgrímsson is a modern coach, driven by statistical breakdowns and analysis, with video platforms such as Wyscout offering a wide window to the players at his disposal. So it won’t have escaped his attention on Sunday that O’Shea’s numbers were off the charts against United. The stats showed that he made more recoveries than anyone else on the pitch (nine), more clearances (six) and more tackles (three), while he won nine out of the nine duels in which he competed. And all that without committing a single foul. Ipswich forked out around €14m to sign O’Shea and on Sunday he looked a bargain buy as he helped keep United at bay. He is very comfortable with the ball at his feet and has a strong aerial presence, considering he wouldn’t be the biggest centre-half around. When it comes to pace, he is one of the fastest centre-halves in the Premier League. Fans were raving about his performance against United on social media, not that posts on X are going to sway Hallgrímsson. O’Shea looks set to give him a major headache heading into the new year - and in the longer term. Seamus Coleman might reclaim the right-back spot in time for the Bulgaria games next March, fitness permitting, but time is running out for the 36-year-old Everton man. And Doherty wasn’t even selected in the original 23-man squad for the last international window. Is Festy Ebosele disciplined enough to operate as an orthodox right-back? Hallgrímsson is clearly taken by the on-loan Watford man’s attacking attributes. Or is there a midfielder that can be shoehorned into right-back, such as Alan Browne? Maybe former St Patrick's Athletic full-back Sam Curtis (18), who is getting plenty of game-time this season on-loan at Peterborough from Sheffield United, is the long-term answer. In an ideal world, we wouldn’t be heading to Plovdiv next year with our most in-form centre-half playing as a right-back. But as Hallgrímsson is quickly discovering, when it comes to the Ireland gig there is no such thing as an ideal world. Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email alertsAdam Nossiter Michel del Castillo, a Franco Spanish writer whose wrenching chronicle of a childhood spent in World War II concentration camps brought him renown on both sides of the Atlantic, died Dec. 17 in Sens, a town in northern Burgundy. He was 91. His death was widely reported in the French news media. No other details were immediately available. Del Castillo published dozens of novels, essays and works of autobiography in the four decades after his debut novel, “Tanguy,” appeared in 1957. (An English translation, “Child of Our Time,” was published in the U.S. and England the next year.) He went on to win several major French literary prizes. But it was his first book, published when he was only 24, that made the most lasting impression. In 1958, reviewing it in The New York Times, Holocaust scholar Richard Plant said it “begins where Anne Frank’s diary ended.” With its graphic account of privation, suffering and death in French and German concentration camps, Plant warned, it was “not meant for the squeamish.” A lightly fictionalized story, it shocked reviewers and readers as a child’s-eye view of mid-20th century Europe’s worst horrors — especially since the boy at the center of the story, Tanguy-del Castillo, had been abandoned by his feckless middle-class parents to face those horrors alone. By the late 1950s, there had been other accounts of life in the concentration camps of Vichy France and Nazi Germany. But never before had the story been told from the perspective of a young boy who was not even in his teens when he was liberated. The book was “a singular novelty: a painting of hell by a child whose physical and moral survival through these tortures is already miraculous,” Émile Henriot of the Académie Française wrote in a review for Le Monde in 1957. The story came directly from del Castillo’s own experience. His father, a conservative French banker, had already abandoned the family when mother and child fled Spain for France in 1939, after Gen. Francisco Franco’s defeat of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War. Del Castillo later recalled that his first years were punctuated by the sound of bombs in besieged Madrid. In France, del Castillo’s father denounced his wife, a journalist who had broadcast for the Republicans, to French authorities. Like others in their situation, the young Michel and his mother were picked up and interned in Rieucros, a harsh French concentration camp in the mountainous Lozère region. That was the beginning of del Castillo’s savage odyssey. About 2,000 women and their children, political refugees, were jammed into Rieucros, he recalled in a 1984 interview on the radio station France Culture; he remembered being cold, hungry and isolated. “I was hungry my whole childhood,” he said. At the local school he was allowed to attend, the children made him “the scapegoat,” he said. Worse was to come. In “Tanguy,” del Castillo told of how, in the summer of 1942, his ill mother managed to escape from the camp after being hospitalized. She made plans to flee France, leaving her young son in the care of smugglers. Del Castillo described what happened next in the 1984 interview: “She felt obligated to leave me alone. I was 9 years old. I woke up, alone, in my room. The next five or six years, I have the impression of having been among the living dead. I was taken to Germany, stateless. There were millions of us. There were concentration camps. There were barracks. It was a kind of apocalyptic atmosphere.” He continued: “It unfolded almost like a dream, because I stayed obsessed with the separation from my mother. I lived for only one thing: to find her again after the war.” At the war’s end, he somehow made his way back to Spain, where he was almost immediately confined again — as the “son of a communist” — in a harsh reform school where corporal punishment and hard labor were the norm. He escaped in 1949, and, thanks to a kindly police inspector in Madrid, he was sent to a Jesuit high school in Andalusia. “It was an incredible liberation,” he said in 1984. “I have an enormous debt toward the Jesuits. They literally saved me.” By then, he had discovered literature — in particular, Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s “The House of the Dead.” “It was a shock,” del Castillo said. “Everything that I was living that I didn’t understand suddenly became luminous. So I understood that in order to survive, I had to write.” And that is what he did, for the next half-century. In 1950s Paris, his determination was further steeled by brief and unsatisfactory reunions with his parents, who were indifferent to him. By 1959, del Castillo was an international celebrity. As French writer and Nobel Prize winner François Mauriac, who appeared on television with him that year, put it: “He saw, with his child’s eye, evil. Evil in its most absolute form: the universe of the concentration camp.” Michel Janicot del Castillo was born Aug. 2, 1933, in Madrid, the son of Michel Georges Janicot, who worked at the Crédit Lyonnais banking office in Madrid, and Cándida Victoria Isabel del Castillo, a journalist. After surviving the war, supported by his uncle, Stéphane Janicot, he earned a degree in literature from the Sorbonne. A quick succession of novels followed “Tanguy” — including “La Guitare” in 1958, “Le Colleur d’Affiches” (“The Disinherited”) in 1959 and “Gerardo Laïn” (“The Seminarian”) in 1967 — although none achieved the acclaim of the first, and few were translated from the French. Del Castillo never married. Information about survivors was not immediately available. Henriot, in his Le Monde review, cited the philosophy of “Tanguy” in a quotation from the book: “He didn’t believe in a world divided into two camps, he wanted nothing to do with hatred. Maybe he was a utopian. But he continued to love life and men with a savage desperation.”
