Durant anota 31, Sheppard tiene racha de 11 y Rockets vencen 115-101 a Nuggets
Associated Press
DENVER (AP) — Kevin Durant anotó 31 puntos, Reed Sheppard anotó los últimos 11 puntos del tercer cuarto para abrir el apretado marcador, y los Rockets de Houston superaron el sábado 115-101 a los Nuggets de Denver.
Sheppard acertó seis de nueve desde larga distancia y anotó 28 puntos. Su última canasta llegó tras un robo y un mate después de que los suplentes de los Nuggets habían reducido un déficit de 21 puntos a 107-97 en los minutos finales.
Los Rockets vengaron una derrota a principios de la semana en Denver y rompieron la racha de seis victorias consecutivas de los Nuggets. Durant acertó cinco de seis desde la línea de tres puntos y Jabari Smith acertó cinco de 11 desde larga distancia para 22 puntos.
Los Rockets lanzaron 19 de 35 desde larga distancia (54%) frente al ocho de 29 (27%) de Denver.
Nikola Jokic lideró a Denver con 25 puntos y Jamal Murray anotó 16.
El entrenador de Denver, Dave Adelman, fue expulsado con 8:40 por jugar en el partido después de argumentar que Jokic debería haber recibido una falta.
Los Nuggets se habían acercado a 71-66 con 1:29 por jugar en el tercer cuarto cuando Sheppard encestó un par de triples alrededor de una pérdida de balón de Murray. Anotó dos tiros libres y culminó su racha con otro triple que dio a los Rockets una ventaja de 82-66 al entrar en el cuarto cuarto.

41 Members Of Congress Demand DOJ Halt Gun Control Defense In Fiery Letter
41 Members Of Congress Demand DOJ Halt Gun Control Defense In Fiery Letter
Submitted by Gun Owners of America,
Gun owners’ number one fighter in Washington, D.C., Representative Andrew Clyde, along with five senators and 35 other House members, have sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
In this letter, they’ve made it clear that the DOJ is out of line with Congress’ intent.
🚨BREAKING🚨@Rep_Clyde just led 5 Senators and 36 House Representatives in condemning @AGPamBondi‘s mishandling of GOA’s Big Beautiful Lawsuit.@TheJusticeDept should not be defending federal gun registration now that Congress reduced the NFA “tax” to an unconstitutional $0. pic.twitter.com/mjOPzOAKpq
— Gun Owners of America (@GunOwners) December 18, 2025
Specifically, they cite the Justice Department’s recent defense of the National Firearms Act in the Gun Owners of America case that we’re affectionately calling the “One Big Beautiful Lawsuit.”
The case itself, Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF, centers around the recent removal of the $200 tax from items regulated by the National Firearms Act. Specifically, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, AOWs (short for “any other weapons,” a catch-all term for items that don’t fit neatly into the other categories of regulation), and silencers.
Previously, purchasing one of these highly regulated items would require a $200 tax payment, a background check including fingerprints and passport photos, and a lengthy wait.
But thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed by President Trump in July, that $200 tax payment was removed from those aforementioned items.
Unfortunately, the registration requirements of the National Firearms Act remain. That’s why we at Gun Owners of America are suing ATF and the Department of Justice to remove the registration requirements on these items.
The National Firearms Act and its registry, the NFRTR or National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record, have been declared a legitimate use of Congress’ article 1 power of taxation.
Keyword: “Taxation.”
The NFA registry is a registry of tax payments, and those tax payments are associated with firearms. This is a sneaky way to get around calling it a gun registry, instead – it’s a tax registry.
But what do you do when the tax has been decreased to zero dollars?
Well, the Department of Justice wants to keep the registration requirements in place, along with the penalties for noncompliance.
That’s like if the IRS abolished the income tax but demanded that you still complete your W2 or 1099 tax forms every year, otherwise face prison time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
To make matters worse, the DOJ used common anti-gun talking points to justify their defense of this unconstitutional registration scheme.
Here are some of the highlights:
DOJ Referred to NFA regulated firearms as “Weapons of War” a meaningless gun control lobby term meant to strike fear into the minds of those uneducated on firearms policy. The reality is, any weapon is a “weapon of war,” and the Second Amendment was specifically written to protect those same types of weapons!
DOJ stated that NFA items were “especially susceptible to criminal misuse,” a line taken straight from Biden-era Justice Department briefs meant to justify bans of certain firearms.
Finally, DOJ is claiming that because other parts of the NFA still generate revenue, the entire act along with the registration requirements for untaxed items is constitutional.
Rep. Clyde and 40 other members of Congress disagree. In fact, here’s what they had to say:
The registration requirements under the NFA are, in fact, inseparably linked to its taxation provisions. Registration serves as the mechanism by which the ATF accounts for the tax paid on each firearm, identified by its serial number.
The tax stamp affixed by the ATF to an NFA transfer and registration application reflects both the firearm’s serial number and the amount of tax paid for the transfer.
Moreover, the NFA’s criminal provisions pertain exclusively to the failure to pay or register the payment of this tax with the ATF. Any reinterpretation of the NFA that allows registration to persist once taxation has been removed contradicts the statute’s text, its structure, and Supreme Court precedent.
Following the OBBBA’s elimination of the tax on a broad class of firearms regulated under the NFA, the constitutional foundation for applying the NFA’s transfer and registration requirements to those $0-tax firearms no longer exists.
These requirements now operate without any corresponding exercise of Congress’s taxing power. As the Supreme Court upheld the NFA’s provisions only as “in aid” of that power, and since the relevant excise taxes have been repealed, the transfer and registration requirements should likewise be understood as repealed with respect to firearms now subject to a $0 tax.
The Department’s recent filing ignores this reality and instead offers a theory that would convert the NFA from a tax statute into a free-standing federal gun registry – an outcome Congress has never authorized and has repeatedly rejected.
In our lawsuit, we establish that thanks to two Supreme Court cases from the 1930s, US v. Sonzinsky & US v. Constantine, the Supreme Court has said that the NFA is an exercise of Congress’ taxing power, and in addition, a tax that generates no revenue is therefore not a tax at all.
Rep. Clyde also states this plainly in his letter, saying:
As you are well aware, Congress enacted the National Firearms Act in 1934, imposing an excise tax of $200 — equivalent to nearly $5,000 today — on the manufacture and transfer of certain firearms. The NFA also established burdensome registration requirements for gun owners seeking to transfer NFA-regulated firearms…
Congress enacted the NFA pursuant to its taxing power under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. The Supreme Court, in Sonzinsky v. United States, held that the NFA’s registration provisions were “supportable as in aid” of Congress’s proper exercise of the taxing power. Furthermore, the Supreme Court in United States v. Constantine held that a tax that doesn’t generate revenue cannot be justified as a tax.
The National Firearms Act’s legal foundation is that it’s an outgrowth of Congress’ taxing power. But when that tax is removed, does the federal government still get to maintain a registry?
The answer is obviously no.
We want to work with the Department of Justice to abolish unconstitutional gun control, not fight them tooth and nail as they defend it. At any time, they can decide if they want to be on the side of the Second Amendment.
Maybe this letter from Congress will help the DOJ see that!

Chambliss y Ole Miss superan su prueba sin Kiffin y vencen a Tulane 41-10 en playoff colegial
Por BRETT MARTEL
OXFORD, Mississippi, EE.UU. (AP) — Trinidad Chambliss corrió para conseguir dos touchdowns y lanzó un pase para lograr otro por Mississippi, que no pareció afectado por la deserción del entrenador Lane Kiffin y aplastó el sábado 41-10 a Tulane en la primera ronda del playoff del fútbol americano colegial.
Acarreos de 20 yardas de Kewan Lacy y cuatro yardas de Chambliss llevaron el balón a la zona prometida y dieron una ventaja de 14-0 a Ole Miss (6to preclasificado con foja de 12-1), antes de que transcurrieran 8 minutos en el debut de Pete Golding como entrenador.
Golding fue ascendido desde el puesto de coordinador defensivo después de que Kiffin se marchó a LSU el 30 de noviembre.
El paso siguiente para Golding y Ole Miss es un duelo de cuartos de final del playoff contra Georgia (2do) en el Sugar Bowl, previsto para el 1 de enero.
Tulane (17mo con 11-3) y el mariscal de campo Jake Retzlaff movieron el balón de manera efectiva en ocasiones, pero los Rebels —que apabullaron al Green Wave por 45-10 el 20 de septiembre— conservaron una ventaja cómoda durante todo el partido. El esquinero Jaylon Braxton consiguió una intercepción temprana, y la defensa de los Rebels logró múltiples recuperaciones de balones sueltos y detenciones en cuarta oportunidad.
Aunque Kiffin había pedido seguir entrenando a Ole Miss durante el playoff incluso mientras trabajaba para su rival de la Conferencia Sureste, el director atlético Keith Carter no lo permitió. Así que los Rebels entraron en lo que posiblemente sea el encuentro más significativo jamás jugado en el Vaught-Hemingway Stadium con un nuevo estratega, sin mencionar un nivel sin precedentes de incertidumbre en el personal y la plantilla para un equipo que compite por un título nacional.
En el famoso Grove de Mississippi, abundaron mantas con mensajes despectivos sobre Kiffin,.
Cuando Golding entró al campo durante los calentamientos, la multitud rugió. Los fanáticos continuaron animando mientras Eli Manning, un ex mariscal de campo de Ole Miss y dos veces ganador del Super Bowl con los Giants de Nueva York, saludaba al nuevo entrenador de los Rebels en la línea lateral.
En la línea lateral opuesta estaba el entrenador de Tulane, Jon Sumrall, a quien se le permitió seguir entrenando al Green Wave después de ser contratado por Florida. Sus esperanzas de regresar a la ciudad natal de Tulane, Nueva Orleans, para prepararse para el Sugar Bowl se desvanecieron, y se estará mudando a Gainesville, Florida, para unirse a los Gators.

Nick Martinelli sits out with a concussion as Northwestern loses to Butler 61-58 in Indy Classic
INDIANAPOLIS — Playing without leading scorer Nick Martinelli, Northwestern lost to Butler 61-58 on Saturday in the Indy Classic at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Martinelli, who is averaging 21.9 points and 6.6 rebounds, missed the game with a concussion, according to the Northwestern Basketball X account. The 6-foot-7 senior led the Big Ten in scoring last season.
Northwestern (7-5) trailed 29-23 at the break and never led after halftime, though the Wildcats repeatedly cut into the margin.
They made a final push in the closing minute. Tre Singleton’s jumper with 31 seconds left pulled Northwestern within one, but Michael Ajayi answered on the next possession with a layup off a pass from Drayton Jones to restore a three-point cushion.
After Northwestern came up empty on its next trip, Butler closed it out at the line. Evan Haywood made two free throws with 19 seconds remaining, and the Wildcats missed two 3-point attempts in the final 12 seconds.
Ajayi posted a 19-point, 20-rebound double-double to lead the Bulldogs (9-3).
Jayden Reid led Northwestern with 14 points and six assists, and Singleton finished with eight points. The Wildcats struggled from long range, shooting 4 of 23 (17%) on 3-pointers.
Butler shot 38% from the field and 7 of 30 from behind the arc but finished with a 41-35 rebounding edge. The Bulldogs set the tone early, outrebounding Northwestern 23-14 in the first half and scoring 10 second-chance points to the Wildcats’ zero.
Up next
Northwestern: vs. Howard on Dec. 30.
Butler: vs. NJIT on Monday.

Frank Nazar out an estimated 4 weeks after taking a puck to the face in Chicago Blackhawks’ 5th straight loss
Chicago Blackhawks center Frank Nazar will miss an estimated four weeks after being hit in the face with the puck in a 6-4 loss to the Senators on Saturday in Ottawa, Ontario. The Hawks, who have lost five straight and seven of eight, will be without two of their young centers in Nazar and Connor Bedard for the near future.
“You saw the play,” Hawks coach Jeff Blashill told reporters afterward. “(He) got hit right in the face.”
In the first period, Senators defenseman Jordan Spence launched a shot from the faceoff circle that hit Tyler Bertuzzi’s stick, inadvertently deflecting the puck into Nazar’s jaw. A gash quickly appeared on the Nazar’s face, and he was visibly frustrated as he skated straight to the tunnel.
Nazar on Thursday scored his first goal since Oct. 28 in a 4-1 road loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He has six goals and 15 assists this season.
The 21-year-old center signed a seven-year, $46.13 million extension in the offseason after playing just 56 games. It’s the largest contract in league history for a player with that level of experience.
Nazar’s injury adds salt to the wound for the Hawks, who already are without superstar center Bedard until January. He’s dealing with a separated shoulder, per NHL analyst Kevin Weekes.
Bedard, 20, was injured in the final second of a 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Sept. 12. The Hawks are 0-4-0 without Bedard this season, being outscored 17-7 in that stretch.
On Saturday, the Hawks allowed three third-period goals, including a pair from David Perron, to cap a winless three-game Canada trip. Perron scored his first goal on the power play and the second off a great pass from Tim Stützle. Fabian Zetterlund added a late goal to ice the win for the Senators.
Stützle had a goal and two assists, and Tyler Kleven and Brady Tkachuk also scored for the Senators. Leevi Merilainen made 20 saves.
Ilya Mikheyev scored twice for the Hawks, and Andre Burakovsky and Nick Lardis — with his first NHL goal — also scored. Arvid Söderblom stopped 34 shots.
The Hawks return to the United Center on Tuesday for a matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers.

New Patent Signals Tesla Could Integrate Starlink Dish Into Vehicle Moonroof
New Patent Signals Tesla Could Integrate Starlink Dish Into Vehicle Moonroof
A newly filed patent suggests Tesla may be preparing to embed Starlink dishes directly into vehicle roofs, bringing connectivity costs in-house under Starlink rather than continuing to pay third-party carriers like AT&T. Such a move would unlock space-based, high-speed internet for vehicles. Notably, some Tesla owners are already mounting Starlink Mini dishes onto their vehicles, offering an early glimpse of next-generation connectivity.
Tesla filed a patent covering a vehicle roof assembly that is transparent to radio frequencies, specifically noting that it allows for satellite communications to pass through.
“In some examples, this assembly enables the integration of overhead electrical modules and components, including antennae, directly into the roof structure, facilitating clear communication with external devices and satellites,” the patent explained in the abstract section.
Here is a drawing from the patent…
Starlink was not mentioned, but it is important to note that Tesla pays for cellular network access to provide basic connectivity supporting essential functions such as navigation and software updates. Users then pay a monthly fee for “Premium Connectivity” to unlock features like live traffic visualization, satellite maps, and streaming media over cellular networks.
We have already seen some Tesla drivers purchase suction cup mounts for Starlink Mini dishes and attach them to the glass moonroof. The purpose is to provide a high-speed connection to the vehicle and its occupants, especially in areas with low coverage or dead zones.
Here’s EV blog Electrek’s first take on the new patent:
I think it’ll be about cost. Right now if you have premium connectivity, Tesla pays whatever cellular network for that. If they can bring it totally in “house” then that means Musk pays himself for internet and not AT&T or some other carrier. It might not be much cost savings but every penny counts for those reoccurring fees on the bottom line.
Furthermore, Starlink registered “Starlink Mobile” earlier this month…

Estudiantes revierte marcador y derrota a Platense para quedarse con el Trofeo de Campeones
Por HERNÁN ÁLVAREZ
BUENOS AIRES (AP) — Con dos goles de Lucas Alario, el último a los 90 minutos, Estudiantes superó el sábado 2-1 a Platense y conquistó el Trofeo de Campeones del fútbol argentino.
Esta copa se disputa entre los ganadores de los dos torneos del año en este país. Los calamares se quedaron con el Apertura 2025 y los pincharratas se proclamaron hace una semana monarcas del Clausura.
Franco Zapiola abrió la cuenta para Platense a los 49 minutos. Alario consiguió un doblete para el conjunto de la ciudad de La Plata a los 78 y a los 90.
Los primeros 45 minutos fueron friccionados y cortados, una constante del fútbol argentino actual. La jugada más destacada la produjo Edwin Cetré por Estudiantes con un remate peligroso que despejó el portero Federico Losas a los 7.
En el segundo tiempo, llegaron las emociones en el estadio Único de San Nicolás, una cancha neutral. El gol marrón surgió desde un lateral que cayó en el área. Después de un rebote defensivo, el balón le quedó a Zapiola que remató de derecha para el festejo de su parcialidad.
Posteriormente, los rojiblancos consiguieron el empate con un centro de Cetré que cabeceó Fabricio Pérez para el segundo testarazo del ingresado Lucas Alario.
Con el impulso del empate, los pincharratas se animaron a ir por más. La diana decisiva llegó a través de un saque de esquina servido por el colombiano Cetré. Alario tocó de derecha, el balón picó y se metió en el arco calamar para el 2-1 final.
“Dimos muestras una vez más de carácter, de no bajar los brazos”, dijo el goleador Alario, exinternacional con Argentina. “Esto no es nada sin el grupo. Ganar así tiene un disfrute distinto”.
Esta es la quinta consagración para Eduardo Domínguez como técnico rojiblanco después de haber conseguido la Copa Argentina 2023, la Copa de la Liga Profesional 2024, el Trofeo de Campeones 2024 y el Clausura 2025.
Es el 18° octavo título (12 nacionales y seis internacionales) de los rojiblancos desde el comienzo del profesionalismo en Argentina en 1931.

Daily Horoscope for December 21, 2025
General Daily Insight for December 21, 2025
A brisk shift greets the morning hours. With the flamboyant Sun swanning into Capricorn at 10:03 AM EST, we can choose steadier steps, defined priorities, and realistic responsibilities without losing heart. While expansive Jupiter squaring healing Chiron tests optimism, we know that it’s merely a learning opportunity. Growth needs patience and effort. When we pair the careful movement of the Sun with Jupiter and Chiron’s tougher alignment, there’s no doubt that we’ll have the strength to do whatever must be done today.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Courage isn’t all you’ll need today, but it can do a lot! As the lively Sun enters your 10th House of Status, your leadership skills could be required ASAP. You may end up having to delegate some duties, professional or personal. Pay attention to your team (at home and at work) to figure out how to keep momentum moving without unnecessary stress. Endurance turns strong effort into lasting wins, just as consistent follow-through builds trust. Lead calmly so your results speak for you.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Staying level-headed can strengthen your current plans. Your curious 9th house begins hosting the Sun today, though its energy is tempered by the square between Venus and Saturn. Consider revisiting shared accounts or split bills, being sure to have patience with everyone involved. Learning about complicated aspects of life like that doesn’t have to be scary today — it can actually be empowering. Getting the accurate details as soon as possible is the best way to prevent stress from growing later. Predictability protects peace.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Slow discussions are better than fast nonsense. Money confidence can grow when you face a tender spot without jokes or detours. Honesty is your best tool as expansive Jupiter squares wounded-healer Chiron, focusing your 2nd House of Money and your communal 11th house. You could begin using the barter system among your pals rather than paying one another. Today is good for exploring such options — then you can stick with one choice long enough to see results that validate your efforts.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Cancer, your care becomes your superpower now. Jupiter, the Great Benefic, is in your sign, where it squares healing Chiron in your public 10th house. Honoring your limits is a vital part of respecting yourself as you are, not as outsiders want you to be. You’re allowed to say no! Your protective instincts are likely correct at the moment, at home and outside of it. Setting boundaries is an act of love that can strengthen family bonds and your own well-being. Keep your warmth safe.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Your light is meant to be shared, but you’ll need to have plenty of fuel on hand. The Sun is marching into your practical 6th house, where it begins a cycle that rewards self-care and thoughtful pacing. Avoid working through lunch, at minimum, and try to take plenty of breaks overall. Your warm generosity will shine more steadily when you conserve energy and move at a maintainable pace. That way, you’ll have the power to make your ordinary duties into something more enjoyably expressive.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
This morning favors practical moves at home. What matters most to you, Virgo? Prioritize that, but don’t forget about what matters to those who share your space, whether your roommates are friends, family, or acquaintances. With the Sun slipping into your youthful 5th house, a younger housemate (or any children in the home) may incite domestic frustration. If they (or anyone else) are frustrating you, look for ways everyone can contribute to the household. Even adults could benefit from a shared chore chart!
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Throw open your door and show off your home! The Sun is leaping into your foundational 4th house, drawing the cosmic focus there. This could have a very literal outcome, where you stay busy updating, maintaining, or appreciating your home. Conversely, it could be a more metaphorical reminder to ponder your history. If you have any collections, when did they start? Who gave you a particularly beloved household item, or where did you buy it for yourself? Don’t be afraid to ask yourself these questions.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Deep focus steadies your day’s rhythm. Your 3rd House of Communication gets practical as the passionate Sun shifts its attention there. Keep your focus on clear messages and reliable methods that keep emotions from fogging facts. You may need to revise a personal communiqué or professional presentation, but the extra effort should be worth it. Your intensity becomes an asset when channeled wisely, because measured words open doors that force would probably slam shut. Choose precision, since truth deserves clean delivery.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Sagittarius, your steps find firmer ground now. Self-respect guides every yes and no today, and your optimism brightens when choices reflect what truly feels right. Values-conscious Venus in your heady sign squares authoritative Saturn, which may present you with some personal limits. Fortunately, they’re the kind of boundaries that are healthy to have. For instance, you’re not about to show up to a professional endeavour in loungewear or let typos sneak into a public post! Honor yourself to keep freedom feeling real.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Confidence is practically your middle name, starting today! The gleaming Sun is beginning its annual journey through your capable sign, spotlighting your determination and refreshing your personal brand. Don’t waste this boost — think through your choices, no matter how much easier jumping to conclusions would be. You may set a reachable milestone that shows your reliability to someone who matters and clearly clarifies what comes next. Such consistent steps build lasting momentum and reinforce your reputation for steady excellence. You’ve got the power!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Consider what sustains your soul as well as your body. Your 12th House of Quiet Moments welcomes the Sun, offering you a quiet period to contemplate whatever’s on your mind. It might involve your community or values, particularly as Venus and Saturn spar across your 11th and 2nd houses. You may end up pondering costs for an event in terms of money and time, ensuring that the plans are fair to all involved — including you. Thoughtful terms keep friendships easy and supportive.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Gentle waves guide your choices with care. Joy expands when play supports healing, not escape, and comfort grows when you move at a forgiving pace with gentle expectations you set yourself. Auspicious Jupiter squaring vulnerable Chiron focuses your 5th House of Creativity and Joy, inviting you to start a project that helps you stay in the moment. You may also discover a low-pressure class that engages your creative side. Don’t forget that you’re allowed to have fun, even in busy moments.
