Jaguars superan 36-19 a Colts que pierden a Daniel Jones por lesión
Por MARK LONG
JACKSONVILLE, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — Trevor Lawrence lanzó dos pases de touchdown, Travis Etienne corrió para dos anotaciones y los Jaguars de Jacksonville se colocaron en la cima de la AFC Sur con una victoria el domingo 36-19 contra los Colts de Indianápolis.
Los Jaguars (9-4) ganaron su cuarto juego consecutivo y extendieron la miseria de los Colts en Jacksonville. La última vez que Indianápolis (8-5) ganó en el EverBank Stadium fue en 2014, una racha de 11 juegos que incluye un enfrentamiento en Londres.
Este último podría tener un impacto duradero.
El quarterback de los Colts, Daniel Jones, se lesionó el tendón de Aquiles derecho en el segundo cuarto y podría quedar fuera por el resto de la temporada. La lesión a menudo requiere una rehabilitación de nueve meses, lo que significa que los Colts podrían estar buscando un nuevo quarterback titular en marzo.
Jones cayó al suelo después de lanzar un pase incompleto y de inmediato se agarró la parte posterior de la pierna derecha. Golpeó su casco contra el suelo varias veces antes de que llegaran los entrenadores del equipo. Finalmente, salió cojeando del campo y se dirigió al vestuario para realizarse pruebas.
Jacksonville lideraba 14-7 en ese momento, y los Colts nunca amenazaron con el suplente Riley Leonard en el juego.

Senador clave de Partido Republicano no se opone a divulgar video de ataque contra 2 sobrevivientes
Por BILL BARROW
Un video de un ataque militar de Estados Unidos contra un presunto bote con drogas en el Caribe, incidente que mató a dos sobrevivientes del primer ataque, no muestra “nada notable”, aseveró el domingo el republicano que lidera la Comisión de Inteligencia del Senado, y no se opondrá a su divulgación pública si el Pentágono decide desclasificarlo.
El senador de Arkansas Tom Cotton, quien apoya la campaña del presidente Donald Trump contra los presuntos narcotraficantes, se alinea parcialmente con Trump y los principales demócratas a favor de la publicación del video del ataque del 2 de septiembre. Fue el primero en lo que se ha convertido en una serie de ataques estadounidenses a embarcaciones cerca de Venezuela que, según el gobierno estadounidense, transportaban drogas. Al menos 87 personas han muerto en 22 ataques conocidos.
Pero Cotton, uno de los principales legisladores en las comisiones de seguridad nacional que fueron informadas el jueves por el almirante de la Marina que comanda esos ataques, está en desacuerdo con los demócratas sobre si el personal militar actuó legalmente al llevar a cabo un segundo ataque para matar a los dos sobrevivientes. Los otros nueve a bordo del bote también murieron.
“Creo que es realmente importante que este video se haga público. No se le escapa a nadie, por supuesto, que la interpretación del video… se dividió precisamente en líneas partidistas”, dijo el representante de Connecticut Jim Himes, el principal demócrata en la Comisión de Inteligencia de la Cámara. Agregó que ha pasado “años viendo videos de acciones letales tomadas, a menudo en el contexto del terrorismo, y este video fue profundamente impactante”.
Cuando se le preguntó a Trump el miércoles si publicará el video de ese ataque de seguimiento, dijo a los periodistas: “No sé qué incluyen, pero lo que sea que tengan, ciertamente lo publicaríamos. No hay problema”. El secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth dijo en una entrevista con Fox News el sábado en la Biblioteca Presidencial Ronald Reagan en California que los funcionarios estaban revisando el video.
“Cualquier cosa que decidiéramos publicar, tendríamos que ser muy responsables” al respecto, señaló.
“Ese bote seguía siendo un objetivo válido”, dijo Cotton, argumentando que publicar el video demostrará que los dos sobrevivientes del ataque inicial seguían siendo una amenaza.
“No es espeluznante. No lo encontré angustiante ni perturbador”, dijo, explicando por qué no tiene problema con la publicación de todas las imágenes. “Se parece a cualquier número de docenas de ataques que hemos visto en jeeps y camionetas en el Oriente Medio a lo largo de los años”.
Añadió que “no hay nada notable en ese video, en mi opinión”.
Las sesiones clasificadas en el Capitolio se llevaron a cabo después que The Washington Post publicara que el almirante Frank “Mitch” Bradley había ordenado un ataque de seguimiento que mató a esos sobrevivientes, para cumplir con las demandas de Hegseth. Bradley dijo a los legisladores que no hubo una orden de “mátenlos a todos” de Hegseth, pero un video de toda la serie de ataques dejó a algunos legisladores con serias preguntas. Los expertos legales han dicho que matar a sobrevivientes de un ataque en el mar podría ser una violación de las leyes de la guerra militar.
El legislador Adam Smith de Washington, el principal demócrata en la Comisión de Servicios Armados de la Cámara de Representantes, y Himes están entre quienes han visto el video y cuestionaron la caracterización de Cotton.
“No tengo ninguna duda de que estos tipos estaban involucrados en el narcotráfico… Pero en esa instancia, estos tipos estaban a punto de morir”, dijo Himes.
Smith añadió: “No parecía que estos dos sobrevivientes estuvieran en posición de continuar la lucha”.
Himes afirmó que los legisladores son conscientes de la división partidista.
Algunos expertos legales han cuestionado que Estados Unidos esté en un conflicto armado oficial con Venezuela, planteando preguntas sobre la legalidad de usar personal militar estadounidense para lo que equivaldrá a actividades de aplicación de la ley que requieren debido proceso.
Otros expertos han dicho que, independientemente de los términos de compromiso, el derecho internacional no permite más ataques a sobrevivientes indefensos de un ataque anterior. Específicamente, los protocolos del Pentágono establecen que disparar contra náufragos es ilegal.
Ha habido preguntas y críticas sobre la misión planteadas por legisladores de ambos partidos en el Capitolio, con investigaciones en curso.
Bradley dijo a los legisladores en una sesión cerrada que ordenó el segundo ataque a los restos de un bote que transportaba cocaína porque se creía que fardos de la droga aún estaban en el casco de la embarcación.
Cotton dijo el domingo que las dos últimas víctimas “no estaban en un estado de naufragio” ni “flotando indefensas en el agua”, sino que estaban “sentadas o de pie sobre un bote volcado”. Debido a que “no estaban incapacitados”, dijo, “ese bote, su carga… seguían siendo objetivos válidos”.
Smith, quien vio el mismo video, dijo: “El bote estaba claramente incapacitado. Una pequeña porción de él permanecía volcada, la proa del bote. No tenían dispositivo de comunicación. Ciertamente, estaban desarmados”.
Cotton estuvo en “Meet the Press” de NBC, Smith estuvo en “This Week” de ABC y Himes apareció en “Face the Nation” de CBS.

Shaheed devuelve patada 100 yardas para TD y Seahawks aplastan 37-9 a Falcons
Por PAUL NEWBERRY
ATLANTA (AP) — Rashid Shaheed devolvió la patada inicial de la segunda mitad 100 yardas para un touchdown, la defensa de Seattle logró tres pérdidas de balón y los Seahawks ganaron por séptima vez en ocho juegos, venciendo el domingo 37-9 a unos desafortunados Falcons de Atlanta.
Sam Darnold lanzó para 249 yardas y tres touchdowns, incluyendo un par de anotaciones a Jaxon Smith-Njigba y otra a Cooper Kupp. Los Seahawks (10-3) se despegaron de un empate 6-6 al medio tiempo con una paliza de 31 puntos sobre los Falcons en los dos últimos cuartos.
Con su séptima derrota en ocho juegos, los Falcons (4-9) sellaron una octava campaña consecutiva con récord perdedor, igualando la peor racha en la historia de la franquicia, y fueron eliminados oficialmente de la contienda por los playoffs con un mes aún por jugar en la temporada regular.
Atlanta no ha llegado a la postemporada desde 2017, un año después de su infame colapso en el Super Bowl ante Tom Brady y los Patriots.
Seattle es un equipo con expectativas en alza, llegando al día como uno de los tres equipos de la NFC Oeste con nueve victorias y con la vista puesta en un título de división, tal vez incluso en un primer puesto en enero.

Oversupply Warning Jolts India’s Solar Buildout
Oversupply Warning Jolts India’s Solar Buildout
By Julianne Geiger of OilPrice.com,
India’s solar sector has hit that awkward stage of adolescence where ambition seems to be outpacing demand. And now the adults in the room are issuing critical warnings.
A new letter from the clean-energy ministry, quietly circulated to the finance ministry, urges lenders to think twice before showering cash on yet another wave of standalone module factories. When a government that spent the last three years cheerleading capacity expansion suddenly says “maybe don’t,” you can assume the oversupply problem is no longer a theory.
The timing isn’t great for India’s manufacturers. They bulked up with a clear target in mind: the U.S. market. But U.S. tariff walls went up, as did customs scrutiny over Chinese components. This has turned Indian shipments into a slow-moving regulatory piñata. Exports faded. Domestic installations couldn’t pick up the slack. And now the ministry is speaking the painful truth that module capacity could climb to 200 GW in the next few years, and cell capacity could climb to 100 GW.
Local demand won’t come close to that.
Translation: keep building like this and you’re manufacturing future bankruptcies.
The subtext here is political as much as economic. India’s decade-long quest to peel itself away from Chinese supply chains has produced a patchwork of incentives, protectionist barriers, and bold proclamations about “solar self-reliance.” But you can only sustain that narrative if the factories you’ve coaxed into existence have somewhere to sell. Right now, many don’t.
The ministry’s preferred solution is to nudge lenders toward funding fully integrated facilities — the kind that run from polysilicon to finished panels.
That would, at least in theory, give India a more defensible position in the global supply chain. But integrated plants require heavy capex, deep technical expertise, and long-term policy stability. India has not always provided the latter.
The smarter read is this: India isn’t abandoning its solar manufacturing push. It’s trying to avoid a bloodbath.
A gentle warning today is cheaper than a mass insolvency cleanup tomorrow. Whether India’s fragmented solar industry takes the hint is another matter entirely.

McCarthy y los Vikings se recuperan para aplastar 31-0 a los Commanders que pierden a Daniels
Por DAVE CAMPBELL
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — J.J. McCarthy regresó de su última ausencia por lesión en gran forma y lanzó tres pases de touchdown, la mayor cantidad en su carrera, en su primer juego sin pérdidas de balón, en la victoria el domingo 31-0 de los Vikings de Minnesota ante los Commanders de Washington, que sufrieron su octava derrota consecutiva.
McCarthy completó 16 de 23 pases para 163 yardas en su séptimo juego como titular en la NFL, después de haberse ausentado la semana pasada en Seattle por una conmoción cuando los Vikings fueron blanqueados por primera vez en 18 años y perdieron su cuarto juego consecutivo con la ofensiva en mal estado.
McCarthy, quien se perdió toda su temporada de novato por una cirugía de rodilla y cinco juegos a principios de esta temporada por un esguince de tobillo, dirigió sus pases a sus alas cerradas para los tres touchdowns: los dos primeros a Josh Oliver y el último a T.J. Hockenson.
Tan fluida como fue la tarde para los Vikings (5-8), el regreso del quarterback titular de los Commanders (3-10) no produjo nada positivo, solo dolor.
Jayden Daniels, ganador del premio al Novato Ofensivo del Año de la NFL de AP 2024, fue obligado a salir a mitad del tercer cuarto cuando fue bloqueado durante una devolución de intercepción y cayó fuertemente sobre el codo izquierdo que se dislocó el mes pasado, lo que requirió una ausencia de tres juegos. Daniels también se perdió tres juegos por lesión a principios de esta temporada.
Marcus Mariota, quien tiene un récord de 1-5 como titular esta temporada, lanzó una intercepción y perdió un balón suelto. Los Vikings finalmente disfrutaron de una actuación estelar de cada grupo de posiciones después de tropezar gravemente en noviembre, quedando fuera de la contienda realista para los playoffs.

Mainstream Media Jumps On Bogus Narrative That J6 Pipe Bomber Was A Trump Supporter
Mainstream Media Jumps On Bogus Narrative That J6 Pipe Bomber Was A Trump Supporter
The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday for planting pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, has exposed yet another case of media malpractice. The Trump administration quickly noted that all the information needed to catch the suspect had been available to the Biden administration for four years, and yet nothing happened.
Rather than examine why it took so long to crack the case, the legacy media immediately pivoted to protect the Biden administration. The following morning, legacy media outlets were pushing the narrative, based entirely on anonymous sources, that the suspect told the FBI under questioning that he is a Trump supporter who was radicalized by claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
According to NBC News, “The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.”
Other networks promptly followed.
“During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter told CNN,” CNN reported.
CNN’s own reporting, however, thoroughly debunked this storyline. Hours prior to the story suggesting the 2020 election was a motivating factor for Cole, a separate CNN report detailed the criminal affidavit against him, which relied on purchase records of bomb-making materials, cell phone location data, and vehicle license plate reader information to identify him.
The criminal affidavit against Cole primarily relies on purchase history of alleged bomb-making materials, cell phone location data and a vehicle license plate reader.
In 2019 and 2020, Cole purchased multiple items consistent with the components used to make the bombs at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe’s and Micro Center stores, according to the affidavit.
Investigators then went through Cole’s purchase history and determined he bought all of those supplies over 2019 and 2020, the affidavit states. He also purchased equipment to help assemble the bombs, including safety glasses and a wire-stripping tool, the document states.
If Cole was buying bomb parts in 2019 and 2020 before the election, the notion that post-election grievances drove him to plant the bombs falls apart. The Trump supporter angle collapses even further when you look at Cole’s background.
According to a Daily Wire report, he worked at his family’s bail-bond business, which sued the Trump administration over immigration policy in a case decided in November 2020. The family operation, which included helping illegal immigrants get out of ICE facilities, doesn’t exactly scream MAGA activism. Public records show the business entangled itself in left-leaning causes, with Cole’s father even teaming up with attorney Benjamin Crump—who previously represented the family of Trayvon Martin—to demand the Biden Justice Department investigate a Tennessee prosecutor who raised questions about the bail bond company. This family profile is wildly inconsistent with the image of a die-hard Trump supporter.
But even Cole’s family says he wasn’t a Trump supporter.
Cole’s grandmother, Loretta, told the Daily Mail that Cole “has no party affiliation, never votes,” and “don’t like either party.” She described her grandson as socially withdrawn, “borderline autistic,” with “the mind of a 16-year-old,” living in his mother’s basement and grieving the death of his pet chihuahua. She also emphasized that Cole has no social media presence and never engages in political discussions online. All of this information was readily available to reporters, yet they went ahead with the Trump-supporter storyline anyway.
CNN’s Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller appeared on Anderson Cooper 360° to discuss the accused bomber’s purported statements to the FBI about his election beliefs.

— Anderson Cooper 360° (@AC360) December 6, 2025
Throughout the day on Friday, mainstream outlets reported Cole as a Trump supporter motivated by stolen election claims, despite their own reporting revealing he purchased bomb materials well before the 2020 election even happened. The media had all the contradictory evidence in front of them and chose to ignore it in favor of a narrative that fit their political agenda. They knew the radicalized Trump supporter angle was false all along, but they ran with it anyway. But why? Was it to protect the Biden administration for failing to capture him sooner?

CPD officer, 18-year-old shot in Morgan Park fight; shooting under investigation
A Chicago police officer and an 18-year-old man were shot Sunday in the Morgan Park neighborhood after officers responded to a disturbance call, according to the police department. A second police officer shot the offender and “inadvertently” also shot the 18-year-old.
At around 12:54 am, officers responding to an altercation between a 35-year-old and an 18-year-old at the 11400 block of South Davol Street attempted to separate the two men. While doing so, the 35-year-old’s gun went off, shooting both the 18-year-old and an officer.
The officer was shot in the chest and saved by a protective vest, according to police.
Meanwhile, a second officer returning fire shot the offender and “inadvertently” shot the 18-year-old, according to police.
The 18-year-old was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center and the 35-year-old was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in fair condition. The officer who was shot was taken to another hospital and was discharged.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability is investigating the shooting with cooperation from the Chicago Police Department. COPA asked for anyone with information on the incident to call their office, according to an X post.
The CPD’s Investigative Response Team is also investigating. The officers involved will be placed on routine administrative duties for at least 30 days, and the shooting is under investigation.

Government waives part of a Biden-era fine against Southwest Airlines
The U.S. Department of Transportation is waiving part of a fine assessed against Southwest Airlines after the company canceled thousands of flights during a winter storm in 2022.
Under a 2023 settlement reached by the Biden administration, Southwest agreed to a $140 million civil penalty. The government said at the time that the penalty was the largest it had ever imposed on an airline for violating consumer protection laws.
Most of the money went toward compensation for travelers. But Southwest agreed to pay $35 million to the U.S. Treasury. Southwest made a $12 million payment in 2024 and a second $12 million payment earlier this year. But the Transportation Department issued an order Friday waiving the final $11 million payment, which was due Jan. 31, 2026.
The department said Southwest should get credit for significantly improving its on-time performance and investing in network operations.
“DOT believes that this approach is in the public interest as it incentivizes airlines to invest in improving their operations and resiliency, which benefits consumers directly,” the department said in a statement. “This credit structure allows for the benefits of the airline’s investment to be realized by the public, rather than resulting in a government monetary penalty.”
The fine stemmed from a winter storm in December 2022 that paralyzed Southwest’s operations in Denver and Chicago and then snowballed when a crew-rescheduling system couldn’t keep up with the chaos. Ultimately the airline canceled 17,000 flights and stranded more than 2 million travelers.
The Biden administration determined that Southwest had violated the law by failing to help customers who were stranded in airports and hotels, leaving many of them to scramble for other flights. Many who called the airline’s overwhelmed customer service center got busy signals or were stuck on hold for hours.
Even before the settlement, the nation’s fourth-biggest airline by revenue said the meltdown cost it more than $1.1 billion in refunds and reimbursements, extra costs and lost ticket sales over several months.
