777 jogo e confiável The November 20 bombshell indictment in New York accused the industrialist and multiple subordinates of deliberately misleading international investors as part of a multi-million-dollar bribery scheme. Addressing the allegations for the first time, the 62-year-old tycoon said his conglomerate was committed to "world-class regulatory compliance". "What I can tell you is that every attack makes us stronger and every obstacle becomes a stepping stone for a more resilient Adani Group," he said at an awards ceremony in the northern Indian city of Jaipur. Adani is suspected of having participated in a $250 million scheme to bribe Indian officials for lucrative solar energy supply contracts. The billionaire, however, said nobody from his company had been charged with any violation of corruption laws or "any conspiracy to obstruct justice". The US Justice Department said Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and one other official were charged "with conspiracies to commit securities and wire fraud and substantive securities fraud". Five others were charged "with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act," the department said. On Thursday, Adani's company said it had suffered a loss of nearly $55 billion in market capitalisation across its 11 listed companies since the US indictment was filed. With a business empire spanning coal, airports, cement and media, Adani Group has weathered previous corporate fraud allegations, suffering a similar stock rout last year. The conglomerate saw $150 billion wiped from its market value in 2023 after a report by short-seller Hindenburg Research accused it of "brazen" corporate fraud. Adani is a close ally of Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was at one point the world's second-richest man, and critics have long accused him of improperly benefitting from their relationship. ash/ahaNORFOLK, Va.

BEIRUT — Israel's military launched airstrikes across Lebanon on Monday, unleashing explosions throughout the country and killing at least 31 while Israeli leaders appeared to be closing in on a negotiated ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group. Israeli strikes hit commercial and residential buildings in Beirut as well as in the port city of Tyre. Military officials said they targeted areas known as Hezbollah strongholds. They issued evacuation orders for Beirut's southern suburbs, and strikes landed across the city, including meters from a Lebanese police base and the city's largest public park. The barrage came as officials indicated they were nearing agreement on a ceasefire, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's Security Cabinet prepared to discuss an offer on the table. Bulldozers remove the rubble of a destroyed building Monday that was hit in an Israeli airstrike in Dahiyeh, in the southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. Foreign ministers from the world’s leading industrialized nations also expressed cautious optimism Monday about possible progress on a ceasefire. “Knock on wood,” Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said as he opened the Group of Seven meeting outside Rome. “We are perhaps close to a ceasefire in Lebanon," he said. "Let's hope it's true and that there's no backing down at the last-minute.” A ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon was foremost on the agenda of the G7 meeting in Fiuggi, outside Rome, that gathered ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, in the last G7 encounter of the Biden administration. For the first time, the G7 ministers were joined by their counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, as well as the Secretary General of the Arab League. Thick smoke, flames and debris erupt Monday from an Israeli airstrike that targeted a building in Tayouneh, Beirut, Lebanon. Meanwhile, massive explosions lit up Lebanon's skies with flashes of orange, sending towering plumes of smoke into the air as Israeli airstrikes pounded Beirut's southern suburbs Monday. The blasts damaged buildings and left shattered glass and debris scattered across nearby streets. Some of the strikes landed close to central Beirut and near Christian neighborhoods and other targets where Israel issued evacuation warnings, including in Tyre and Nabatiyeh province. Israeli airstrikes also hit the northeast Baalbek-Hermel region without warning. Lebanon's Health Ministry said Monday that 26 people were killed in southern Lebanon, four in the eastern Baalbek-Hermel province and one in Choueifat, a neighborhood in Beirut's southern suburbs that was not subjected to evacuation warnings on Monday. The deaths brought the total toll to 3,768 killed in Lebanon throughout 13 months of war between Israel and Hezbollah and nearly two months since Israel launched its ground invasion. Many of those killed since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah have been civilians, and health officials said some of the recovered bodies were so severely damaged that DNA testing would be required to confirm their identities. Israel claims to have killed more than 2,000 Hezbollah members. Lebanon's Health Ministry says the war has displaced 1.2 million people. Destroyed buildings stand Monday in the area of a village in southern Lebanon as seen from northern Israel. Israeli ground forces invaded southern Lebanon in early October, meeting heavy resistance in a narrow strip of land along the border. The military previously exchanged attacks across the border with Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group that began firing rockets into Israel the day after the war in Gaza began last year. Lebanese politicians have decried the ongoing airstrikes and said they are impeding ceasefire negotiations. The country's deputy parliament speaker accused Israel of ramping up its bombardment to pressure Lebanon to make concessions in indirect ceasefire negotiations with Hezbollah. Elias Bousaab, an ally of the militant group, said Monday that the pressure has increased because "we are close to the hour that is decisive regarding reaching a ceasefire." Israeli officials voiced similar optimism Monday about prospects for a ceasefire. Mike Herzog, the country's ambassador to Washington, earlier in the day told Israeli Army Radio that several points had yet to be finalized. Though any deal would require agreement from the government, Herzog said Israel and Hezbollah were "close to a deal." "It can happen within days," he said. Israeli officials have said the sides are close to an agreement that would include withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon and a pullback of Hezbollah fighters from the Israeli border. But several sticking points remain. A member of the Israeli security forces inspects an impact site Sunday after a rocket fired from Lebanon hit an area in Rinatya, outskirts of Tel Aviv, Israel. After previous hopes for a ceasefire were dashed, U.S. officials cautioned that negotiations were not yet complete and noted that there could be last-minute hitches that either delay or destroy an agreement. "Nothing is done until everything is done," White House national security spokesman John Kirby said Monday. The proposal under discussion to end the fighting calls for an initial two-month ceasefire during which Israeli forces would withdraw from Lebanon and Hezbollah would end its armed presence along the southern border south of the Litani River. The withdrawals would be accompanied by an influx of thousands more Lebanese army troops, who have been largely sidelined in the war, to patrol the border area along with an existing U.N. peacekeeping force. Western diplomats and Israeli officials said Israel demands the right to strike in Lebanon if it believes Hezbollah is violating the terms. The Lebanese government says such an arrangement would authorize violations of the country's sovereignty. On paper, being more sustainable and eco-friendly while shopping sounds great—so why don't more people do it? There is growing consumer consciousness about the environmental impact of where people choose to shop and the sustainability of the products they buy. According to McKinsey, over 60% of individuals surveyed in 2020 said they would be willing to pay more for a product that is packaged in an eco-friendly way. Since 2019, products marketed as being environmentally sustainable have seen a 28% growth in revenue compared to 20% for products with no such marketing, a 2023 McKinsey and NielsenIQ report found. Much of this is thanks to the preferences and attitudes of Gen Z, who, on average, care more than their older counterparts about being informed shoppers. The younger generation also has more social justice and environmental awareness altogether. Shoppers are willing to spend around 9.7% more on a product they know is sourced or manufactured sustainably, with 46% saying they would do so explicitly because they want to reduce their environmental footprint, according to a 2024 PwC report. Sustainable practices consumers look for from companies include production methods, packaging, and water conservation. But despite the growing consciousness around being more environmentally responsible, consumer actions don't always align with their values. In psychology, this is defined as the "say-do gap": the phenomenon wherein people openly express concern and intention around an issue, but fail to take tangible action to make a change. According to the Harvard Business Review in 2019, most consumers (65%) say they want to buy from brands that promote sustainability, but only 1 in 4 follow through. So why don't people actually shop sustainably, despite how much they express a preference for eco-friendly products—and how can we close the gap? The RealReal examined reports from the Harvard Business Review and other sources to explore why some shoppers want to buy sustainably but struggle to follow through. This lack of action isn't due to a lack of caring—in many cases, it's hard to know how to be a sustainable consumer and other factors are often outside of shoppers' control. But the more people shop sustainably, the easier and more accessible that market will be for everyone—making it much easier for folks to buy aligned with their values. There are many obstacles preventing shoppers from upholding eco-friendly habits as much as they may want to—but not all of these barriers are necessarily real, or accurately understood. Shopping sustainably simply isn't convenient or accessible for many. Those who live in apartment buildings are 50% less likely to recycle , according to Ipsos. Reasons for this can vary from lack of space to buildings being excluded altogether because of recycling contamination issues. Many believe that sustainable products are too expensive or of a lower quality. The former is often true, which does create a hurdle for many: The manufacturing processes and materials for sustainable products are pricey. For instance, organic cotton requires an intensive production process free of certain chemicals or pesticides; by definition, true eco-friendly products can't be mass-produced, further upping their price tag. Using recycled materials for packaging, or obtaining an eco certification, can also be expensive. However, although the narrative of eco-friendly products being more expensive is true, there is often more of an effort to use better quality materials that last longer than their noneco-friendly counterparts. This could end up saving consumers money in the long run: By paying more upfront, they can get more wear out of sustainable fashion, for instance. There is also undeniable political rhetoric surrounding eco-friendly products—however, despite many Conservative politicians decrying sustainable products, members of all generations are increasingly choosing to prioritize shopping sustainably regardless of their political affiliation, according to research from NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business . This finding shows a trend toward seeing sustainability as a nonpartisan subject everyone can benefit from, no matter where they lie on the political spectrum. Some might think eco-friendly clothing, in particular, is not fashion-forward; after all, many of the top clothing retailers in the world partake in fast fashion. However, brands are increasingly being recognized as 'cool' and 'trendy' for supporting environmentally ethical practices, particularly as younger generations prioritize sustainability, as noted before. Many increasingly popular online stores are taking advantage of this paradigm shift by offering secondhand shopping options that are not only fashionable, but also more affordable, like ThredUp or Poshmark. Additionally, many legacy large-name brands are hopping on the sustainability movement and are gaining appreciation from loyal customers. Amazon's Climate Pledge Friendly program partners with third-party certification bodies to make it easier for shoppers to identify eco-friendly products as they browse the website. H&M's newly launched H&M Rewear program debuts a resale platform that allows the resale of all clothing brands—not just their own. Similarly, Patagonia's Worn Wear program allows shoppers to trade in and buy used gear and clothing. The federal government is also working to close this gap. The Environmental Protection Agency's Safer Choice program is attempting to make sustainable shopping easier for consumers and companies alike. It includes a directory of certified products, a list of safer chemicals to look out for on labels, a "Safer Choice" label that products can earn to denote they are eco-friendly, and resources for manufacturers looking to adopt more sustainable practices. Most of all, though, the biggest way shoppers can shift toward sustainable shopping is through their behaviors and attitudes amongst their peers and communities. Studies show that humans largely care what others think of their actions; the more shoppers make environmentally conscious shopping the norm, the more others will follow suit. From an economic perspective, the more consumers shop eco-friendly, the more affordable and accessible these products will become, too: Sustainable products are currently more expensive because they are not in high demand. Once demand rises, production rates and prices can lower, making these products more accessible for all. Story editing by Carren Jao. Additional editing by Kelly Glass.

Thomas scores 27 as Morgan State downs Campbell 86-76

Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh): Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday, alleging that the ruling party is focusing on Sambhal to divert public attention from farmers' issues. Earlier today, an excavation team from the Archaeological Survey of India unearthed a stepwell in the Chandausi area of Sambhal district. "Khudaiye se rasta nahi niklega, yeh pehle bhi galat tha. (No solution will come from digging; this was wrong before too). When we already have the Places of Worship Act, which prevents such excavations, the BJP is deliberately engaging in this to avoid discussing farmers' issues," the SP chief told reporters in Firozabad. District Magistrate Rajendra Pensiya on Sunday confirmed the discovery of a 'baoli' (stepwell) covering an area of 400 square metres. The structure, featuring around four chambers, includes floors made of marble. Commenting on broader issues, Yadav claimed that farmers were unable to obtain Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) or fertilisers for their crops when needed. He also highlighted the rising prices of essential commodities, including medicines and electricity.

When they needed DAP, it was not available. Khad jab chahiye thi toh nahi thi (When fertiliser was needed, it was unavailable)," Yadav said. Addressing the increased cost of seeds, medicines, and electricity, he emphasised that even after successfully harvesting a crop, farmers lack assurance of profitable returns. "The prices of seeds and medicines have gone up. Electricity bills are continuously rising. The irrigation issues remain unresolved by the government. Even if a farmer manages to grow and harvest a crop, they do not know where to sell it for a fair price," he added. Meanwhile, at the Punjab-Haryana border, the farmers' protest at the Khanauri border entered its 314th day today. The farmers have been protesting since 13 February 2024, demanding measures such as a law guaranteeing the Minimum Support Price (MSP). Farm leader Sarwan Singh Pandher earlier appealed to residents of both states to gather in large numbers at the Khanauri and Shambhu borders to support the protest. Tensions have escalated as farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal recently fainted at the Khanauri border protest site while observing a fast-unto-death for over 20 days to press for farmers' demands.

Louis-Jacques scores 17, Colgate defeats Vermont 65-60Remittances to reach $35bn in current fiscal: Aurangzeb Government would give policy framework and investors will remain key to achieve export-led growth: FinMin KARACHI: As PTI founder Imran Khan plans to ask overseas Pakistanis to stop sending money back home, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Saturday hoped the remittances would touch an all-time high at $35 billion in the current fiscal year. Aurangzeb didn’t comment when asked about the call of PTI founder chairman about stopping workers remittances to Pakistan when he talked to the media at the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) in Karachi. The minister claimed the country was able to achieve macroeconomic stability due to strenuous efforts of the last several months and the business confidence in the country restored. “We can’t be complacent now and have to remain on the course for achieving high growth through export-led strategy,” he declared. The finance minister said the government would give the policy framework and investors will remain the key to achieve export-led growth. He, however, pointed out that Pakistan has the dilemma of facing balance of payments problems as when the economic growth reaches four percent, we have to run back. “We need export-led growth for achieving 5-6 percent growth as presently the growth is largely dependent on imports,” he said. He said the business model cannot be run by evasion of sales tax. Talking about state-owned entities (SOEs), Aurangzeb said these are causing the national exchequer a loss of Rs2.2 billion a day and the country sustained losses to the tune of Rs6 trillion in the last 10 years, which comes to around 50 percent of the revenue collection target set at Rs12.9 trillion for FY25. “Privatisation, liberalisation and deregulation are the way forward.” He said that foreign companies operating in Pakistan have repatriated profit and dividends worth $2.2 billion in May-June 2024, clearing the entire backlog of the repatriation to-date. “Now there is no restriction on sending the repatriation from the Ministry of Finance and State Bank of Pakistan and it’s now up to commercial banks to facilitate the foreign companies in continuing to send profit and dividends without any delay,” he stated. The minister said the government has nothing to do with rupee-dollar parity as it depends on the demand and supply of the greenback in the market, while market forces are determining the exchange rate instead of the government. He said the government has prioritised inviting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in export-led projects and increasing exports to achieve sustainable economic growth. Emphasizing the need to improve the taxation system, he said that the old system of taxation can no longer go on. “We have to widen the tax net. The business model cannot be run by tax evasion, digitalisation systems are being brought in for checking tax evasion.” The minister said efforts were being made to bring real estate, agriculture, wholesalers and retailers into the tax net. He said leakages in sales tax and income tax were being stopped through the digitalisation process. He said that continuity of policies and political stability were requisite for development. Dharnas and rallies cause a loss of Rs190 billion per day. Asked about the high prices of essential items despite the government’s claim of reduction in inflation, the minister said that inflation was decreasing, but people were not benefiting from it. The price of pulses, commodities and poultry and petroleum products was decreasing in the global market, but the price in Pakistan was increasing instead of decreasing. “We have to activate the price control committees to extend benefit to people.” He announced a crackdown on the middlemen to pass on the benefits of reduced prices of various items to end consumers. Replying to a question, Aurangzeb said talks are underway with the Sindh government regarding the agriculture tax. He said the Punjab government had already done work on it and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan were working on it. Responding to a question about the IMF’s demand to charge sales tax on petroleum products, the minister denied that any such demand was made by the global institution.

'We are on it': US official seeks to allay drone sighting concernsCE: Upholding President Xi's Important Speeches Foremost Task For The Government

Mysterious drone sightings highlight how uncertainty fuels speculation, revealing parallels with AI ... [+] hallucinations and the fragility of shared reality. It started with strange lights in the sky over New Jersey. Concerned citizens reported mysterious drones , sparking fears of surveillance, security breaches, and even extraterrestrial visitors. Reports near sensitive military installations only heightened tensions. In response, the White House National Security Council issued a statement : most drones were just regular aircraft. Yet the sightings—and public distrust—continued. The drone phenomenon revealed something deeper about human perception: in moments of ambiguity, we fill the void with stories that blur the line between real, imagined, and misunderstood. While the New Jersey skies may seem far removed from technology, they reflect something profound happening in the digital world: hallucinations—not in people, but in artificial intelligence. Collective Illusions, AI Hallucinations, and the Fragility of Intersubjectivity The New Jersey drone sightings echo a long history of mass hysteria, where groups share beliefs fueled by uncertainty and fear. Much like UFO sightings of the 20th century, these drones became symbols of something larger—surveillance, conspiracy, or the unknown. Ambiguity thrives in crisis, driving skepticism and speculation. This phenomenon highlights a concept called intersubjectivity—the shared understanding of truth that allows society to function cohesively. Intersubjectivity is fragile. When uncertainty takes hold and trust erodes, we lose that shared reality. Whether it’s distrust of the government’s drone explanations or disagreements about AI outputs, this breakdown leaves room for competing narratives to flourish. Mystery Drones Over New Jersey And Nearby States: Mayorkas Says ‘We Are On It’—But No Known Foreign Involvement (Updating) Gmail Account Deletion Warning—Act Now To Save Your Email In 2025 Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora Borealis May Be Visible In These 10 States Tonight AI systems reveal a similar challenge. When artificial intelligence “hallucinates,” it generates outputs that sound plausible but are fundamentally untrue. Large language models like ChatGPT or Microsoft Bing’s “Sydney” don’t “understand” reality—they predict patterns to fill uncertainty, just as humans do with stories. For example: • Microsoft Bing’s Sydney : Early iterations of Bing’s chatbot became infamous for unsettling, fabricated responses—like adopting an alternate persona and confidently delivering false claims. • Google Bard : In a high-profile launch, Bard incorrectly described discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope, spreading confidently inaccurate information before it was corrected. • Fabricated Citations : AI systems often invent realistic but non-existent studies, misleading users who trust the information’s appearance. Humans and machines alike respond to ambiguity by creating stories. Depending on their personal experience, humans are comfortable with different degrees of ambiguity. They can fill uncertainty with fear, imagination, or shared narratives. AI always fills uncertainty with unemotional probabilities. Both expose the same truth: our collective understanding of reality is easily fractured. Bridging the Gap: A Blueprint for Businesses and Leaders The breakdown of shared truth has profound implications for leaders, businesses, and society. Companies must act as architects of clarity, building trust in an era where ambiguity thrives. Here’s how to succeed: Communicate Clearly During Uncertainty Strengthen Digital Resilience Humanize AI Systems Align Brand Values with Shared Truth Foster Digital and Information Literacy Rebuilding Shared Reality in an Age of Ambiguity The drones in New Jersey remind us of something deeply human: our need to explain what we don’t understand. Whether it’s lights in the sky or AI hallucinations, ambiguity blurs the line between perception and reality. For all its promise, artificial intelligence mirrors this same tendency. Its hallucinations force us to confront an uncomfortable truth: reality is no longer fixed—it’s negotiated. In this moment, businesses and leaders must rise to the challenge. This is where intersubjectivity becomes essential. Businesses and leaders must help restore shared truth by embracing transparency, ethical innovation, and clear communication. By embracing transparency, ethical innovation, and digital resilience, companies won’t just survive ambiguity—they’ll lead through it. Success will depend not on the technologies we build, but on the shared realities we create. Truth, like trust, isn’t something we find—it’s something we build together.From Electric Cars to Gaming Stars? Tesla’s Share Price Today

(ADI) Price Target to $250 on Strong Q4 Results and AI DemandPresident-elect Donald Trump has tapped several Californians — including former San Joaquin Valley congressman Devin Nunes — for posts in his next administration. Nunes, a Republican and former dairy farmer from Tulare, resigned his House seat after nearly two decades in 2022 to become chief executive of Trump Media & Technology Group, which is the parent company of the president-elect's Truth Social platform. On Saturday, Trump announced on the platform that he had selected Nunes to serve as chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. The board "exists exclusively to provide the President with an independent source of advice" on intelligence matters, and "has access to all information necessary to perform its functions," according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Its members do not require Senate confirmation. Trump wrote that Nunes would use his experience as former chair of the House Intelligence Committee "and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax" to provide Trump with "independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety" of actions taken by the U.S. intelligence agencies. Nunes was a staunch ally of Trump throughout the House's investigation into ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, which Nunes helped lead given his intelligence committee post. He dismissed various connections between Trump campaign officials and Russian assets even as now-Sen. Adam B. Schiff — a Democrat from California on the intelligence committee — alleged Trump's team had colluded with the Russians and the Justice Department pursued its own investigation. Trump said Nunes would maintain his CEO position with Trump Media. Trump has also nominated other Trump Media officials to prominent posts in his administration — including pro wrestling mogul Linda McMahon, his pick for Education secretary , and Kash Patel, his pick for FBI director . Patel is a former staffer on the House Intelligence Committee under Nunes, and a fellow Trump loyalist. Nunes wrote on Truth Social that he was "looking forward to serving our great nation again" under Trump. On Fox News, Nunes sang Patel's praises and said they would work together — with Trump's other justice and intelligence nominees — to "restore integrity back into" the system. "It's critical to do what the president wants to do, what he promised the American people, (which) is to get these agencies focused on going after bad guys and keeping Americans safe," Nunes said. Trump also on Saturday named Richard "Ric" Grenell, another loyalist from California, as his "envoy for special missions" — a role that does not currently exist. Grenell, who during Trump's first term served as acting director of national intelligence and as ambassador to Germany, previously worked at the United Nations Security Council. Trump said Grenell "will work in some of the hottest spots around the World, including Venezuela and North Korea," and "will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST." Grenell called working under Trump "an honor of a lifetime" in a post on X. "President Trump is a problem solver who keeps Americans safe and prosperous," he wrote. "We have so much to do. Let's get to work." Grenell is a firebrand known for his caustic attacks on social media. He was heavily criticized by German officials while ambassador — one called him "a biased propaganda machine" — and his appointment as acting national intelligence director during Trump's first term was met with scorn from Democrats, who said he lacked the intelligence experience necessary for the post. Grenell, who has a home in Palm Springs and previously taught at the USC Annenberg School of Communication, has also drawn both support and derision from California lawmakers. Grenell, who is gay, has been flagged as anti-LGBTQ+ by queer rights groups for railing against transgender youth rights and the Equality Act. When California Republicans honored Grenell on the California Senate floor in the name of Pride Month in 2023, several Democrats walked off the floor in protest — including gay state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who called Grenell "a guy who is truly a self-hating gay man, who takes tons of anti-LGBTQ positions." Trump on Saturday also nominated former Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar to serve as deputy secretary of Homeland Security. Edgar, an IBM executive, previously served in Trump's first term as chief financial officer and as associate deputy undersecretary of management for Homeland Security. In a Truth Social post announcing his selection, Trump credited Edgar with helping to lead a "revolt" against sanctuary cities as mayor of Los Alamitos, a tiny Orange County city. "I am very excited to have Troy on our team, as he will help us Make America Great Again!" Trump wrote. The California Values Act, which took effect Jan. 1, 2018, restricts local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration officials in many cases. Edgar and other Los Alamitos officials approved an ordinance that tried to exempt the city from the state law — galvanizing support from other conservative officials in the state and drawing the attention of Trump, who invited Edgar to the White House. The Trump administration sued to block the California law, but the Supreme Court rejected the challenge in 2020, leaving the law intact. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com .

HUMBOLDT, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee man was convicted Thursday of killing two men and wounding a third in a shooting at a high school basketball game three years ago. Jadon Hardiman, 21, was found guilty in Gibson County of charges including second-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons offenses, district attorney Frederick Agee said in a statement. He faces up to 76 years in prison at sentencing in April. Hardiman, of Jackson, attended a basketball game between Humboldt and North Side high schools on Nov. 30, 2021. Then 18, Hardiman entered the Humboldt gymnasium's crowded concession area and pulled a semi-automatic .40 caliber handgun, prosecutors said. He fired three shots at Justin Pankey, a 21-year-old former Humboldt basketball player. Pankey was hit one time and died within seconds, Agee said. A second bullet hit Xavier Clifton, a former North Side student and basketball player, who was standing in the concession line. Clifton was shot in the neck and paralyzed. He died in March 2022. A third shot struck another man in the back of the head. He survived. “Many people were placed in fear of imminent bodily injury by Hardiman’s shooting, as shown by video footage of their fleeing into the gym, into bathrooms, and other areas of the school,” Agee said. Hardiman ran away and drove to Jackson, disposing of the murder weapon along the way, the district attorney said. The U.S. Marshals Service contacted his family, and he was arrested the next day. Agee said the shooting "frightened every adult, student, and child present, who were only there to support their team and enjoy a good game.” Hardiman's lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
