President-elect Donald Trump selected former NFL player for Cabinet position
THORNTON TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WLS) -- It appears that the stalemate in Thornton Township will continue into 2025. Two trustees, Carmen Carlisle and Christopher Gonzalez, said they will not attend a special board meeting on Monday. The trustees said the meeting was scheduled without their agreement, and they accused Supervisor Tiffany Henyard of playing "political games." Their absence means there will not be enough board members to vote on insurance coverage and past-due bills. Henyard has blamed the trustees for the lack of progress.

In his annual visit to Toronto, Canada, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explained what it meant for him to watch Canadian native RJ Barrett thrive with his hometown team. Shai, who was born in Ontario, says it's "every Canadian's dream" to play for their country just like RJ is this season. “It’s every Canadian’s dream to play at home," said Shai . "I know for me as a kid, watching Raptors games growing up is how I got attached to basketball. So that feeling must feel surreal, for sure. Every time I see RJ he gets better, the sky is the limit because of that. So I'm just happy for him." Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the many international superstars taking over the NBA. The elite scorer and sharpshooter, along with Jamal Murray , Dillon Brooks , and RJ Barrett, are some of the most notable NBA players from Canada and they all played for their country in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games . Together, they led Team Canada to fifth place in the tournament, the nation's highest finish since 1984. As the runner-up for MVP last season , Shai was the star of the show for Team Canada and he took pride in playing for his home country with averages of 24.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. In the NBA, Shai makes his home (Oklahoma City) far away from Canada but he gets to live through guys like RJ Barrett, who is getting the full hometown hero experience. After being traded by the New York Knicks , Barrett has settled into his new role with averages of 23.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game on 45.6% shooting. Sadly, despite the best efforts of Barrett and Scottie Barnes , the Raptors haven't been very good this season and it's clear that they need some massive reinforcements to compete for a title. Since he's currently locked into a 5-year, $173 million contract, it's unlikely that Shai is anywhere but with the Thunder for the foreseeable future. But maybe one day down the road, Shai can sign with the Raptors and join RJ Barrett on his home team. Together, they could transform the Raptors from bottom-feeders to a truly formidable team in the East. They might even bring the Raptors their first title since the Kawhi Leonard era. Of course, this is all just wishful thinking for the Raptors. As much as Shai loves and respects his roots, he isn't going to find a better situation than his current one with the Thunder. As the leader both on and off the court, Gilgeous-Alexander is playing some of the best basketball of his life and it has put the Thunder in a position to make some serious noise in the West. For now, the young superstar is focused on the mission at hand, which involves leading the Thunder to the depths of the postseason. After their stop in Toronto, Shai and the Thunder will face the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:00 PM EST at Smoothie King Center. On December 10th, the Thunder play their next game in the NBA Emirates Cup, which is against the Dallas Mavericks for the West Quarterfinal at 9:30 PM EST.

Trump says he will nominate former White House aide Brooke Rollins to be agriculture secretaryIKO Wraps Up High-Energy Profit Power Events for ROOFPROs in Charlotte, NC, and Austin, TXChatham (N.J.), Dec 14 (AP) That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It's unclear if it's drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what's behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey's new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they're looking into what's happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let's solve it, has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it's otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it's a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she's glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn't buy what the governor said, that the drones aren't a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security?or public safety?threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it's not posing a threat if you don't know what it is?” she said. “I think that's why so many people are uneasy.” Then there's the notion that people could misunderstand what they're seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they're looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We've lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin's view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That's not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it's up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don't want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it's foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I'm saying is it's alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added.
