AC Milan supera a Lazio y lidera la Serie A; Yildiz anota dos para la Juventus
Por DANIELLA MATAR
MILÁN (AP) — A pesar de estar nuevamente sin Christian Pulisic, el AC Milan logró colocarse en la cima de la Serie A tras vencer el sábado 1-0 al Lazio.
Rafael Leão anotó el único gol al inicio de la segunda mitad, lo que permitió al Milan superar a Napoli y Roma, que se enfrentarán el domingo.
El Milan se colocó un punto por encima de la Roma y tres por encima del Napoli. El Inter de Milán, Bolonia y Como están un punto más atrás.
Los Rossoneri estaban animados por la victoria en el derbi del fin de semana pasado sobre su rival de ciudad y título, el Inter, y buscaban aprovechar que los dos primeros se enfrentaban el domingo.
Sin embargo, nuevamente estuvieron sin uno de sus mejores jugadores, ya que Pulisic, quien acababa de regresar de una lesión, sufrió una distensión muscular.
El Lazio obligó a Mike Maignan a realizar varias buenas paradas antes de que el Milan rompiera el empate a los 51 minutos, cuando Leão culminó una jugada de equipo bien trabajada.
En el tiempo de descuento hubo caos en las líneas laterales cuando un volea de Alessio Romagnoli fue bloqueada por el brazo del defensor del Milan, Strahinja Pavlovic, en el área de penalti, lo que provocó una revisión de video. El entrenador del Milan, Massimiliano Allegri, se quitó la chaqueta al ser expulsado por desacato junto con el entrenador asistente del Lazio.
El árbitro dictaminó que el brazo estaba sobresaliendo, pero Pavlovic había sido objeto de falta en la jugada previa.
Super Yildiz
Kenan Yildiz continuó su fantástica forma con dos goles mientras la Juventus remontaba para vencer 2-1 al Cagliari.
Yildiz había participado en los tres goles a mitad de semana para ayudar a la Juventus a arrebatar una victoria por 3-2 en Bodø/Glimt y poner fin a una racha de tres empates consecutivos en todas las competiciones.
El Cagliari sorprendió a los aficionados locales al tomar la delantera a través de Sebastiano Esposito, pero Yildiz igualó justo después de que se reanudara el juego tras un uno-dos con Khephren Thuram.
Y el joven de 20 años Yildiz anotó un gol fantástico en el tiempo de descuento de la primera mitad, controlando el balón al borde del área antes de superar a dos defensores y enviar el balón al rincón inferior lejano.
La Juventus se mantuvo séptima, a cinco puntos del Milan. El Cagliari estaba en el puesto 14, solo un punto por encima de la zona de descenso.
Primera victoria de De Rossi
Daniele De Rossi consiguió su primera victoria al mando del Génova, tras dos empates llenos de acción, al vencer al club colista Hellas Verona 2-1 en una batalla por el descenso.
El Génova se colocó un punto por encima de la zona de descenso, igualado con Cagliari y Parma, que perdió 2-0 en casa ante el Udinese después de jugar la mayor parte de la segunda mitad con diez hombres.
El Verona se mantuvo a cuatro puntos de la salvación.

Democrats Sue After Trump Cuts SNAP Benefits For Alien Migrants
Democrats Sue After Trump Cuts SNAP Benefits For Alien Migrants
It was one of the key debates that led to the longest government shutdown in US history: The Trump Administration wanted to close the loopholes that allowed non-citizens access to government subsidies like ACA healthcare and free food through SNAP.
Democrats claimed that “illegal migrants” don’t have access to such programs.
Yet, the Democrats were willing to drag out the government shutdown for 35 days just to stop Trump from implementing cuts that would apparently affect no one.
Why?
Because leftists are liars.
If they are not telling a direct lie, they are lying by omission or by using semantics and carefully crafted language so that if they get caught they can say “That’s not what we meant…”
When Republicans moved to block subsidies for migrants this included the millions of asylum seekers that entered the US illegally and then took advantage of Joe Biden’s lax policies, including “catch and release.”
Democrats, however, categorize asylum seekers as residing in the US “legally”.
It’s a dishonest way to bypass the debate and pretend as if Trump is living in a fantasy land. Meanwhile, Democrats hope that the general public will not catch on to the game they are playing.
Eventually, the truth gets out, often through self-exposure because the leftists can’t help themselves. After months of Democrats asserting that “illegal” non-citizens don’t receive government subsidies, Oregon is suing the Trump administration over changes to the nation’s food assistance program, arguing that new federal guidance unlawfully blocks certain groups of “legal” immigrants from accessing food aid. When Democrats mention “legal immigrants” they are referring to all asylum seekers.
JUST IN: Oregon Attorney General is suing the Trump admin because they cut SNAP benefits for noncitizens and are cracking down on fraud
But Democrats insisted for months that noncitizens weren’t getting taxpayer funded benefits…. Now they’re suing to make sure they do.

Twenty-one other states joined Oregon in filing the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court in Eugene, arguing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture overstepped its authority when it issued an Oct. 31 memo telling states to cut off benefits for people who have long been eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
The dispute centers on changes Congress made in July through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which limited SNAP eligibility for certain noncitizens in temporary immigration categories.
In the lawsuit, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield and the other Democratic attorneys general said the USDA memo goes further than what Congress approved and effectively blocks many lawful permanent residents from the SNAP program even though they qualify under the law. Those include refugees, asylum seekers and people admitted under humanitarian programs once they obtain a green card and meet the program’s income and residency rules.
Their definition of “legal” non-citizens, however, is irrelevant. The federal government has broad authority to determine who is here legally and who gets access to federal subsidies including SNAP. Migrant aliens who flooded into the US during the Biden regime and took advantage of wide open asylum policies do not necessarily qualify.
Furthermore, there needs to be a national discussion about who should be allowed access to American taxpayer dollars. Progressives exploit subsidies as a way to lure migrants to the US and buy their votes once they become naturalized. The Democrat agenda is clearly to upend the demographics of the country in their favor. Why would native born Americans allow their money to be used against them as a means to steal their country from them?
No migrants, legal or illegal, should ever qualify for government subsidies. If they can’t support themselves, they should not be traveling to the US in the first place. At the very least, there needs to be a set moratorium on immigrant applications for benefits; perhaps 5-10 years after they gain residency. This would weed out any parasites looking to feed on the American system rather than contribute and assimilate.
Oregon and other states are asking the court for a preliminary injunction to block the new policy while the case is heard. AG Rayfield says the goal is “to get in front of a judge as quickly as possible to make sure that we can get this food assistance flowing again here in the near term.”
Democrats understand that they have a limited window of time – A few months without SNAP benefits and migrants will leave blue states, possibly self deporting back to their countries of origin. The incentives to stay will be gone. Meaning, Democrats lose their census advantage, they lose vast pool of future voters (or current voters in states without voter ID), not to mention a useful mob of thugs they can muster whenever they need to create civil unrest.

Watch: ‘Seditious’ Kelly Doubles Down On Military Mutiny Call
Watch: ‘Seditious’ Kelly Doubles Down On Military Mutiny Call
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly doubled down on his call for military mutiny against President Trump during a late-night appearance with Jimmy Kimmel, insisting he’s “not backing down” from urging troops to defy “illegal orders”—yet admitting he can’t cite a single instance of that.
Kelly’s deflection, amid a DoW probe into his “serious allegations of misconduct,” fuels accusations that such rhetoric incited the D.C. shooting of two National Guards members—one fatal—by an Afghan migrant.
Kelly told Kimmel, “You can’t keep track of this guy and what he says. I’ll tell you this though, I’m not backing down. We said something very simple. Members of the military need to follow the law. We wanted to say that we have their backs. His response, kill them.”
Quite clearly Trump did not call for Kelly and the others to be killed, but this was the spin from the leftist media.
Kelly mocked the investigation into him and the other ‘seditious’ Dems, noting “This is what he can do this week, go after me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is a law in the military, which is kind of wild because we recited something in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and he is going to prosecute me under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for reciting the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
“It is so ridiculous, it is like you can’t make this shit up.” Kelly blathered, adding “What I am worried about is the reaction and what this transmits to the military and the public, which is basically, shut up and listen to that guy. That is not the way our system works.”
He continued, “My oath and every member of the military took is loyalty to the Constitution, not to a person. He is trying to get some fear out there, and fear can be contagious, but what also can be contagious is courage and patriotism.”
“It is how democracy dies. It is right out of the playbook. The playbook of authoritarianism, that’s what they do,” Kelly further charged, adding “They try to suppress speech. Every one of us has First Amendment speech rights. I think the president is infringing on those, and he is sending a strong message, you don’t want to cross him and your loyalty should be to him. It should not. It always should be to the Constitution.”
Kelly’s Kimmel dodge, failing to name a single “illegal order” despite prodding, reduces the “Seditious Six’s” stunt to more empty ‘Trump bad’ fearmongering. On Rachel Maddow’s ratings bereft show, Kelly also conceded Trump has “only given ‘lawful’ orders.”
Democrat Senator Mark Kelly accidentally admits on air to Rachel Maddow that there were no specific illegal orders from President Trump behind the viral video stunt warning the military to defy the White House.

As we previously highlighted, former CIA agents have flagged the Dems’ video as a “handler”-driven op, asserting that it is straight out of the CIA playbook.
Air Force vet Buzz Patterson called it “treasonous and seditious,” urging prosecutions, while Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Kelly of “intimidating” 1.3 million troops: “You can’t have a functioning military if there is disorder and chaos within the ranks… They can’t identify ‘illegal’ orders because there ARE NO illegal orders!”
Kelly’s defiance draws fire for fueling the D.C. ambush, where an Afghan migrant killed U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.
Conservatives have pinned it on Democrats’ “illegal” deployment smears and mutiny video. Patterson raged: “What they did was treasonous and seditious… They are circumventing the chain of command.” Leavitt warned: “These officials are trying to sow chaos and distrust, which is a very dangerous thing to do within the military’s rank.”

St. Charles Electric Christmas Parade canceled due to snowstorm
The city of St. Charles and the St. Charles Business Alliance canceled the Electric Christmas Parade planned for 5:30 p.m. Nov. 29 in downtown St. Charles due to the snowstorm that hit the area on Saturday.
While the Electric Christmas Parade is a much anticipated event each year, the city and the St. Charles Business Alliance made the difficult decision to cancel the parade, according to a press release Saturday afternoon.
Officials with the city of St. Charles and the Alliance in the press release said that after consideration and discussions with the city’s Police, Fire and Public Works departments, maintaining public safety was the foremost concern. Slippery road conditions and additional snow accumulation posed safety risks if the parade went on as scheduled, officials said.
In the release, officials said the event couldn’t be rescheduled because “parades take a lot of behind the scenes work.”
Officials in the release said they would not be able to secure the proper permits and permissions to close down a major state road for the parade by the end of the year.
The release also said that organizers can’t ensure access to the elements and floats used during the parade as well as the availability of staff and the more than 80 volunteers it takes to organize the event.
According to officials, St. Charles is still celebrating the season in a number of ways. Santa will still be at First Street Plaza every Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. until Dec. 21, the release noted. Additionally, holiday photo opportunities will be available on the plaza all season long, according to the release.
Indulto de Trump a expresidente hondureño añade incertidumbre a la elección en el país
Por CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — Un día antes de que Honduras elija un nuevo presidente, el principal tema de conversación pasó de repente de los asuntos internos al presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y al expresidente hondureño al que indultó.
Trump irrumpió en el fondo de la política hondureña esta semana, primero al respaldar al candidato presidencial Nasry “Tito” Asfura del conservador Partido Nacional y luego, al anunciar el indulto del expresidente Juan Orlando Hernández, del mismo partido, sentenciado a 45 años en una prisión de Estados Unidos por ayudar a trasladar toneladas de cocaína.
Influencia de Trump
Antes de la llamativa entrada del presidente de Estados Unidos, la principal preocupación en torno a las elecciones era que los tres candidatos con una aparente posibilidad de ganar socavaban la credibilidad del proceso al advertir sobre manipulación y señalar que no reconocerían un resultado preliminar que no les favoreciera.
El sábado, los hondureños intentaban averiguar quién se beneficiaría de las acciones de Trump y qué trataba de hacer exactamente.
Un elemento impredecible
El respaldo a Asfura parecía bastante directo: un conservador apoyando a otro. Pero incluir a Hernández, alguien cuyo extenso juicio federal en Estados Unidos en un tribunal de Nueva York fue cubierto diariamente por los medios hondureños, era un elemento impredecible.
Podría perjudicar a Asfura al recordar a los votantes la profundidad de la corrupción de su partido. O podría ayudarlo al animar a la base del Partido Nacional.
Trump también desestimó a los otros dos principales candidatos, Rixi Moncada del gobernante Partido Libertad y Refundación, de tendencia socialdemócrata, y Salvador Nasralla del Partido Liberal, a quien calificó como un “cuasicomunista”.
Víspera de las elecciones
Moncada, exsecretaria de finanzas y defensa de la administración saliente de la presidenta Xiomara Castro, aprovechó la intervención del presidente de Estados Unidos.
Antes de subir al podio ante los seguidores que la aclamaban, una pantalla gigante reproducía en bucle videos del arresto de Hernández.
Moncada presentó el hecho como si, en los días previos a las elecciones, los intereses del crimen organizado de Honduras y el puñado de familias económicamente dominantes del país se hubieran dado cuenta de que sus candidatos no podrían vencerla, por lo que acudieron a Washington en busca de ayuda.
Fue Castro quien hizo arrestar a Hernández meses después de que dejara el cargo, algo que, según Moncada, fue permitido por los poderosos intereses económicos de Honduras porque ya no les era útil. Pero ahora, desesperado, Trump enviaba a quien ella llamó “el capo más grande en la historia de Honduras” de regreso para tratar de alentar a los votantes conservadores.
“Lo que ha ocurrido ayer (el indulto) es un nuevo crimen. Y ese nuevo crimen lo vamos a juzgar mañana (domingo) en la urna”, dijo Moncada entre aplausos. “No volverán”.
La noche anterior, Nasralla intentó usar la interferencia de Trump para reforzar su propio estatus de outsider cultivado, aun cuando se trata de su cuarto intento por la presidencia.
“No respondo a pactos oscuros, ni a redes corruptas ni criminales que han asesinado a nuestra gente”, dijo el viernes por la noche.
Una figura divisiva
Todo esto daba mucho de qué hablar a los hondureños el sábado.
En una intersección de un barrio acomodado de Tegucigalpa, Adalid Ávila vendía naranjas, plátanos, piñas y rambutanes desde la parte trasera de una camioneta. A unos 100 metros (109 yardas) de distancia, una pancarta ondeaba desde un paso elevado de la autopista con una foto de Hernández el día que fue entregado a las autoridades de Estados Unidos en 2022.
En la pancarta se advertía a la gente que no olvidara las acusaciones de que también había desviado dinero de la seguridad social cuando fue presidente.
Pero Ávila dijo que mucha gente todavía piensa bien de Hernández, por lo que no creía que el indulto de Trump tuviera mucho efecto en las elecciones.
Respaldo a Asfura
El vendedor, de 21 años, dijo que planeaba votar por Asfura, a quien recordaba como alcalde de Tegucigalpa por construir túneles y puentes, entre ellos, aquel del que colgaba la pancarta, que aliviaron un poco su aplastante tráfico.
“Es un hombre trabajador e inspira a uno”, dijo Ávila. Pensaba que el respaldo de Trump podría ayudar a Asfura, porque los hondureños saben lo útil que puede ser Estados Unidos, dijo.
Sobre todo, Ávila quiere que el próximo presidente de Honduras sea “honrado”, que trabaje para el pueblo y no olvide las promesas de campaña, señaló. Le preocupaba que los principales candidatos no aceptaran el resultado del domingo.
“La gente no es tan tolerante acá en este país, siempre hay revolución porque a nadie le gusta perder”.
Esperanza de una votación pacífica
Melany Martínez, una enfermera de 30 años, esperaba en una larga fila el sábado por la mañana para comprar una “baleada”, una delicia hondureña de frijoles, queso y crema envueltos en una tortilla suave y fresca.
Calificó al respaldo de Trump a Asfura como una “alerta” para los hondureños y se preguntó cuál era la intención del presidente de Estados Unidos.
“La verdad, yo pienso que la decisión del pueblo se debe tomar aquí porque, al final, los ciudadanos somos nosotros”, dijo. El indulto de Trump a Hernández le pareció incorrecto, porque había sido condenado por un delito.
También esperaba una elección pacífica con un resultado respetado. Pero había escuchado rumores en la calle sobre la posibilidad de problemas e incluso sugerencias de abastecerse de productos esenciales para el hogar.
Como enfermera, quiere que el próximo presidente se enfoque en la educación y la salud, dos áreas que han sido crónicamente ignoradas.
Oliver Eraso, profesor de derecho de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, dijo que no esperaba que la interferencia de Trump tuviera un gran impacto en las decisiones de los votantes.
“El comportamiento social y colectivo de la masa electoral ya está definido hace una o dos semanas, especialmente en el Partido Nacional y el Partido Liberal”, afirmó.

‘Self Deport’ Or Else: DHS Guts Biden’s Haitian Invasion Pipeline
‘Self Deport’ Or Else: DHS Guts Biden’s Haitian Invasion Pipeline
After a no-nonsense review that apparently didn’t involve the usual DEI smoke and mirrors, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem declared Haiti’s endless cocktail of chaos no longer qualifies for America’s taxpayer-funded hotel voucher program.
“Based on the Department’s review, the Secretary has determined that while the current situation in Haiti is concerning, the United States must prioritize its national interests and permitting Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the U.S. national interest,” the DHS said in the termination notice.
Translation: Enough with the virtue-signaling; America’s sovereignty isn’t a globalist buffet.
DHS pegs the current Haitian headcount at a whopping 352,959 – give or take a few who slipped in through the southern sieve – with only around 18,000 living as “lawful permanent residents.”
Homeland Security officials said that the TPS program has become a draw for illegal immigrants in recent years.
“Using TPS to grant temporary status to successive waves of new arrivals from a designated country may generate a significant pull factor for illegal immigration and act in tension with the congressional design,” the agency said.
DHS officials did not mince their words, advising Haitians to use the CBP Home app to self-deport and receive a $1,000 exit bonus.
If you are an alien who is currently a beneficiary of TPS for Haiti, you should prepare to depart if you have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States.
You can use the CBP Home mobile application to report your departure from the United States.
This secure and convenient self-deportation process includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration to the United States.
Of course, the deep-state legal vultures have been circling. Efforts to torch TPS have sparked courtroom cage matches, but the Supreme Court just handed Trump a W last October, greenlighting the exodus of Venezuelan freeloaders.
“Limited access to critical information and significant processing delays hinder the ability of federal officials to reliably assess the criminal histories or national security threats posed by aliens attempting to enter the U.S. illegally,” DHS said Nov. 28.
“As a result, public safety and national security risks are significantly heightened in such conditions.”
As a reminder, Haitian hordes became 2024’s election piñata, with VP JD Vance and President Trump zeroing in on the Springfield, Ohio pet-eating fiasco – a microcosm of how these “protected” imports turn heartland towns into no-go zones overnight.
And just to twist the knife, Uncle Sam slapped visa sanctions this week on some shadowy Haitian bigwig accused of bankrolling the island’s gangbanger terror cells, stonewalling the “fight” against what D.C. delicately dubs “terrorist organizations.”
Because nothing screams “allies” like funding narco-thugs while your citizens flood our streets.

Ben Johnson ve a los Bears capaces de ganar de varias formas tras vencer a Eagles
Por GENE CHAMBERLAIN
LAKE FOREST, Illinoise, EE.UU. (AP) — El mensaje que el entrenador de los Bears de Chicago, Ben Johnson, espera haber transmitido la confianza que su equipo ha desarrollado en su capacidad para ganar utilizando cualquier medio necesario.
Los Bears han ganado de casi todas las formas posibles al llevarse nueve de sus últimos diez juegos, incluyendo el triunfo del viernes por 24-15 sobre los campeones defensores del Super Bowl, los Eagles de Filadelfia .
“No hay secretos, hombre, no hay atajos”, dijo el entrenador Ben Johnson. “Tenemos que salir la próxima semana y poner la misma cantidad de trabajo que hemos estado haciendo y tenemos que seguir mejorando.
“Aún no estamos en lo que somos capaces de ser como equipo completo, y por eso vamos a seguir esforzándonos para juntar esos 60 minutos completos de fútbol en tres fases”.
Necesitarán mejorar enfrentando un calendario que incluye los próximos dos de tres juegos contra sus rivales, los Packers de Green Bay.
El juego aéreo probablemente necesita ser más consistente para mantener su actual racha de cinco victorias consecutivas, pero no es como si los Bears hubieran estado ganando solo por tierra todo el año como lo hicieron el viernes.
Contra los Eagles, los Bears ganaron con Kyle Monangai corriendo para 130 yardas y D’Andre Swift corriendo para 125.
Vencieron a Dallas con cuatro pases de touchdown de Caleb Williams y tres pases de TD contra Cincinnati y Pittsburgh.
La defensa sigue recuperando el balón a un ritmo líder en la liga, después de la sexta intercepción de Kevin Byard, líder de la liga, el viernes y el balón suelto forzado y recuperado por Nahshon Wright en el intento de “tush-push” de Jalen Hurts. Han logrado esto a pesar de las lesiones que han dejado fuera a siete titulares en ocasiones.
Han ganado en equipos especiales en la última jugada del juego, con un gol de campo bloqueado contra los Raiders y un gol de campo en condiciones húmedas contra los Commanders.
Todo el tiempo siguen ganando semana a semana y demostrando que están equivocados aquellos escépticos sobre un calendario percibido como fácil.
“Seguiremos enfocándonos en ser 1-0, seguiremos enfocándonos en encontrar formas de ganar juegos, pero también en encontrar formas de mejorar para poder estar donde queremos estar”, dijo Williams.
Lo que está funcionando
El juego terrestre. Tuvieron dos corredores de 100 yardas en un juego por primera vez desde Matt Suhey y Walter Payton en 1985.
“Hacer algo así, es increíble”, dijo Swift. “Mis respetos a la línea ofensiva. No puedo decirlo lo suficiente. El trabajo que estamos haciendo al frente, y con los receptores bloqueando en el campo, hace que nuestro trabajo sea mucho más fácil”.
Los Bears ahora lideran la NFL en yardas por tierra con 153.8 yardas por juego al entrar en los juegos del fin de semana. Sus 281 yardas el domingo aún estaban a dos yardas de su máximo de la temporada de 283 al vencer a Cincinnati.
Lo que necesita ayuda
El juego aéreo. Promediaron un mínimo de temporada de cuatro.tres yardas por intento y Williams completó un mínimo de temporada del 47.2% (17 de 36), el quinto juego consecutivo en el que ha estado por debajo del 60%. No es solo Williams. En algunos juegos han tenido pases caídos, pero el viernes tuvieron casos de receptores perdiendo el equilibrio dos veces en lanzamientos bien dirigidos.
Valor en alza
Monangai tuvo su segundo juego de 100 yardas con 22 carreras para 130 yardas y fue su primero con más de 48 desde que tuvo 176 contra los Bengals el 2 de noviembre.
Valor en baja
Williams. Aunque ha completado solo el 53.2% de sus pases en los últimos cinco juegos, lo que había estado haciendo bien era evitar intercepciones.
El viernes, lanzó una intercepción a Jalyx Hunt de Filadelfia en un simple pase de pantalla para terminar su racha en 179 consecutivos.
Lesiones
El tackle defensivo Andrew Billings está en el protocolo de conmociones de la NFL.
Número clave
47. Los Bears corrieron el balón 47 veces, 30 veces más que los Eagles. Eso, y diez de 17 en conversiones de tercera oportunidad, les ayudó a establecer 39:18 en tiempo de posesión frente a los 20:42 de los Eagles.
Próximo paso
En Green Bay el siete de diciembre con el liderazgo de la NFC Norte en juego.

Porter County Council approves salary ordinance with raises with split vote
At its last meeting of the year Tuesday evening, the Porter County Council bestowed some early holiday season giving to themselves and their fellow elected officials with a $2,000 raise in 2026 by a vote of 4-3.
Councilman Jeremy Rivas, D-2nd, explained his dissenting vote. “I heard all last year how dire the financial situation is, and now miracles happen,” Rivas told his colleagues. The council had previously approved a $2,000 raise for all county employees for 2026, excluding elected officials as well as Sheriff’s Office employees who have a separate raise structure.
“We know what we signed up for. That’s almost a 10% raise,” Rivas said. He added that such a sum seemed unfairly disproportionate, while prosecutors prosecuting high-level offenders are seeing that $2,000 as a much smaller percentage of their total salaries.
Council Vice President Red Stone, R-1st, and Councilwoman Michelle Harris, R-At-Large, joined Rivas in voting against the raise, but did vote to adopt the 2026 salary ordinance in which it was included. Rivas was the sole dissenting vote against adopting the salary ordinance because of the raise for elected officials.
Council President Andy Vasquez, R-4th, brought up the question of the raise, saying he had received some calls. “There were a couple of elected officials who thought they had worked very hard,” he said.
The raise for elected officials will cost the county $45,163, which includes PERF and FICA. Since the amount was not originally budgeted, it will have to be approved as an additional at the beginning of 2026. That does not include the prosecutor or judges, as the county only pays $5,000 of their salaries, with the state making up the rest.
County Council members, who are considered part-time, were budgeted to be paid $23,189 in 2026 and will now receive $25,189. County commissioners, also part-time, will now receive $59,301.
Other elected officials’ salaries will range from $50,320 for Coroner Cyndi Dykes on the low end to $190,513 for Sheriff Jeff Balon on the high end. The majority of elected officials’ wages are based on the 2022 wage study, which compared county positions to their counterparts across the state, according to Chief Deputy Auditor Dave Wichlinski.

In other business, Veterans Service Director Khristian Molchan presented Vasquez with a Challenge Coin, kicking off the program made possible by a donation from a Porter County veteran. The coins will be presented to veterans in Porter County upon receipt of a decision letter granting them disability status, with preference going to combat veterans.
Vasquez is a veteran of the Marine Corps. He served in the Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) from 1969 to 1972 and is in the process of pursuing reinstatement of his disability status following its granting and rescinding over the course of various administrations.

Japan Denies Trump Asked PM Not To Provoke Beijing
Japan Denies Trump Asked PM Not To Provoke Beijing
Authored by Dorothy Li via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Japan has refuted a report indicating that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi received advice from U.S. President Donald Trump to refrain from provoking the Chinese regime over Taiwan.
Trump and Takaichi spoke by phone on the evening of Nov. 24, their first conversation since the Chinese communist regime ramped up its pressure campaign against Japan following Takaichi’s remarks suggesting that a crisis in Taiwan could pose a threat to Japan.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing anonymous sources, reported on Nov. 27 that Trump had advised the Japanese prime minister “not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan’s sovereignty” during the call. The report described Trump’s advice as subtle, saying that he did not pressure Takaichi to withdraw her comment.
When asked about the WSJ report at a briefing on the morning of Nov. 27, Minoru Kihara, the Japanese government’s top spokesperson, declined to comment on the meeting between Takaichi and Trump, saying it’s a matter of diplomatic exchanges.
However, at a regular press conference hours later, Kihara said he found it necessary to clarify this matter.
“In the article you mentioned, there is a description that President Trump advised not to provoke the Chinese government on the issue of Taiwan’s sovereignty, but I would like to make it clear that there is no such fact,” Kihara told reporters when asked about the WSJ report.
He confirmed that Tokyo had reached out to the U.S. media outlet regarding this article.
Kihara at the briefings on Nov. 27 was not asked about other reports containing similar claims. Those include a Reuters report saying that Trump asked Takaichi not to further escalate the dispute with Beijing, citing two unnamed Japanese government sources. The report added that Trump did not present any specific demands to Takaichi.
Japanese media outlet Kyodo News also reported that during the phone call with Takaichi, Trump advised her to refrain from escalating the row with Beijing while emphasizing the importance of managing the relationship between the two Asian neighbors, citing an unnamed government source.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the three reports by publication time.
Takaichi, speaking to reporters shortly after the call with the U.S. president, said they exchanged views on a wide range of topics, including strengthening the Japan–U.S. alliance and addressing challenges facing the Indo-Pacific region.
“During the conversation, President Trump provided me with an update on the latest situation in U.S.–China relations, including the U.S.–China summit meeting held yesterday evening,” she told reporters in Tokyo. “I also responded to his question about the recent G20 summit that I attended.”
Takaichi said they affirmed the importance of continued cooperation between Tokyo and Washington under the current international situation.
“President Trump said that he would be willing to receive calls from me at any time as a close friend of his.”
Trump also said that the talk with Takaichi was “great.”
“She’s very smart, she’s very strong, and she’s going to be a great leader,” he said of the Japanese leader aboard Air Force One on Nov. 25, without disclosing the details of the exchange.
The fast-escalating spat between Tokyo and Beijing began on Nov. 7 after Takaichi, in response to a parliamentary committee question, said that a naval blockade against Taiwan may constitute a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan. She used a legal term that could enable Japan to mobilize its military.
The comments on a theoretical possibility drew furious responses and violent threats from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which views self-ruled Taiwan as a breakaway province to be taken by force if necessary.
