Trump addresses Elon Musk’s growing political influence: ‘He’s not going to be president’

PHOENIX – Following a week in which Musk helped thwart an emergency budget plan to prevent a government shutdown, President-elect Donald Trump denied any indication that he is being replaced by his well-known billionaire ally, Elon Musk. Trump claimed that the idea that Musk has been given the presidency is untrue and that Musk would not be able to obtain it even if he so desired due to the Constitution's requirement that the president of the United States be a natural-born citizen. South Africa is where Musk was born. "I can assure you that he will not be president," Trump stated. I'm also safe. Do you understand why he can't be? This country is not where he was born. Thousands of conservative activists cheered enthusiastically as Trump ascended the stage amidst a firework display during...

Grandson taking on investigation into 1992 murder of Daytona Beach woman Hazelle Fenty

Every major news outlet had the headline, "The Golden State Killer Arrested." Using genetic genealogy, Joseph DeAngelo was caught in 2018 for a slew of killings that occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. At about the same time, Jacob Cockcroft started to consider an other issue that was close to his heart. Jacob told Dateline, "I began seeing things about genetic genealogy and the Golden State Killer." Hey, maybe that applies to our situation, I thought. Hazelle Fenty, Jacob's grandmother, was discovered dead at a church in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1992. They had killed her. In retrospect, I see that I became quite fixated on true crime. Jacob stated, "Her case is the reason I'm so interested in it." For over 30 years, Hazelle's case has remained unresolved. Like the families of the Golden S...

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts ruled out vs. Commanders with concussion

Due to a concussion, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was unable to play in Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Hurts scampered left for 13 yards with 9:52 left in the first quarter before Washington linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu tackled him. He carefully stood up and proceeded to the blue tent for a potential concussion examination. Kenny Pickett took Hurts' place as quarterback and then found receiver A.J. Brown for a four-yard touchdown throw. Hurts was deemed finished for the day by the Eagles late in the second quarter. A victory would give Philadelphia the NFC East division and keep them in the running for the top seed in the NFC playoffs. Prior to the game, Hurts, 26, had guided the Eagles to a 10-game winning streak. In addition to his 589 yards ...
