										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Donald Trump is running to be president. A new Quinnipiac University poll shows that many people would prefer him not to be.</p>
<p>Nearly 6 out of 10 Americans (57%) said Trump&#8217;s re-election is a problem, while 34% thought it was a positive thing.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s numbers with Democrats on this question are, as expected, terrible, with 88% of them saying that it is a bad idea that he launched a 2024 White House Campaign.</p>
<p>Trump should be concerned about more than that. Trump should be concerned about his numbers among independents (58% thought he was running for a bad thing), and among Republicans (27% believed it was a bad idea).</p>
<p>Quinnipiac polls reveal that a large portion of the public, not only Democrats, believe that Trump&#8217;s second presidential run is a bad idea.</p>
<p>This is not the only negative thing about Trump&#8217;s poll. Numerous data points suggest that Republicans are open to Ron DeSantis running for the White House and that Trump is a real threat to Florida&#8217;s governor.</p>
<p>Six out of 10 Republicans stated they would love to see DeSantis run as president, while nearly one-quarter of them said no.</p>
<p>44% of Republicans voted for DeSantis when asked who they preferred to win the 2024 GOP Nomination &#8211; the same percentage that voted for Trump.</p>
<p>This is only one poll. The data is the data. The data suggest that Trump would be a weak general election candidate (those numbers are not good among independents), but that there is still room in the Republican field to consider someone else.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jalen Hurts broke a franchise record for most rushing yards by a quarterback during a single game with the Philadelphia Eagles. His team became the first NFL team that reached double-digit wins over the Green Bay Packers in a 40-33 win.</p>
<p>Michael Vick had a single-game record of 130 rushing yards. But Hurts quickly broke that record when he ran for 102 yards in quarter one.</p>
<p>The Eagles took a quick lead of 13-0. For the first score, Kenneth Gainwell pounded it into the endzone. After Aaron Rodgers had thrown his first interception, Miles Sanders raced in for his second touchdown.</p>
<p>Hurts finished the first half with 126 yards and 10 carries. But the Eagles&#8217; second drive saw the record-breaking rush when he ran six yards for 136 yards.</p>
<p>He would add nine yards to his record total of 157 yards in 17 carries.</p>
<p>The Packers&#8217; offensive prowess, and ability to make turnovers, made it a scoring first half. Rodgers allowed Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon began to work on their second drive. Dillon would find a hole for a score of 20 yards to make it 13-7.</p>
<p>After a turnover on downs, the Packers capitalized with an eleven-yard pass from Rodgers and Randall Cobb to tie the game at 13-13. After the Packers had made A.J. Jones&#8217;s pass, Rodgers found Jones on a 23-yard pass into the back end zone. This tied the game at 20 each. Brown lost the ball in his territory.</p>
<p>Although it was an exciting first half, the Packers&#8217; real story began in the second half. Rodgers was suffering from a rib injury after an Eagles sack which eventually forced him to leave the game.</p>
<p>Rodgers admitted that his thumb was broken since Week 5. After an interception on a wobbly play to begin the game, Rodgers continued asking questions until he settled down.</p>
<p>The back-to-back NFL MVP was hurt more by his rib injury. He was writhing in pain as the Packers drove down the field on the second half&#8217;s second drive.</p>
<p>Rodgers ran to the locker room to have his injury checked. He returned to the sideline without pads or a jersey. He completed the night with 11 of 16 passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns, as well as two interceptions.</p>
<p>Jordan Love, Rodgers’ backup since he was selected in the first round 2020 NFL Draft draft, entered the game. He made his presence felt immediately by finding Christian Watson on a ball in the middle, which he ran 63 yards to score a touchdown. This made it 37-30 Eagles. This was Love&#8217;s first touchdown pass since Week 18.</p>
<p>However, the Eagles rushed down the field, and Jake Elliott, Pro Bowl kicker, made a 54-yard field shot to give Philly a 10-point advantage.</p>
<p>Love and the Packers would score a field goal to make it within a touchdown. But Mason Crosby&#8217;s kick on the side went in the Eagles&#8217; direction and they rushed it with Sanders to ice the win.</p>
<p>Love was solid in the fourth quarter, going 6-9 on the night for 113 yards and the touchdown pass.</p>
<p>DeVonta Smith was Eagles&#8217; leading receiver with 50 yards from four receptions. Brown had 46 yards through the air and a touchdown. Quiz Watkins also caught a Hurts pass of 30 yards just before the halftime break for a touchdown.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t just Hurts who ran for more than 100 yards. Sanders also had 143 yards running on 21 carries, which helped Philly to run 363 yards as a team.</p>
<p>Hurts had 153 yards passing on 16 of 28 and two touchdown passes.</p>
<p>As his promising weeks continue, Watson would end with 110 yards on four receptions for the Packers. Dillon was their top rusher, with 64 yards on eight runs.</p>
<p>Next week, the Eagles will host the Tennessee Titans. They hope to add more wins as the NFC top seed. The Packers are at 4-8 and may be worried about their quarterback situation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After he had slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars earlier in the year, Will Smith, actor, said that he would understand if movie-goers weren&#8217;t &#8220;ready&#8221; for his film &#8220;Emancipation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Emancipation,&#8221; the first Smith movie since March when he punched Rock in the face, is now available. Smith had made a joke about Smith&#8217;s wife Jada Pinkett Smith and her alopecia (an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall) in which he slapped Rock.</p>
<p>Smith has since apologized numerous times and resigned from the Academy.</p>
<p>In a recent interview, the actor stated that he could understand why people were not ready to see his film due to his joke at the Oscars.</p>
<p>McCarthy was told by Smith that he understood that some people are not ready. Smith said that he would respect their decision and let them have the space to be not ready. &#8220;My greatest concern is my team – [director Antoine Fuqua] did what I consider the most important work of his career.&#8221;</p>
<p>He stated that his team had done &#8220;some of the most outstanding work of their careers&#8221; and that he hoped that his actions don&#8217;t penalize his squad.</p>
<p>Smith stated, &#8220;I hope that the material – the power of film, the timeliness &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping people&#8217;s hearts would be opened at a minimum to recognize and support these incredible artists in and around the film.&#8221;</p>
<p>Smith portrays Peter, a slave who escapes from a Louisiana plantation.</p>
<p>Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for King Richard shortly after slapping Rock. He is now up for another nomination for his performance in &#8220;Emancipation.&#8221; He will be unable to attend the ceremony if Smith is nominated.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Former Gov. Sarah Palin will be thwarted by Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola. Mary Peltola is a Democrat who won a special election that sent her to Congress. Sarah Palin&#8217;s attempt to make a political comeback. After the state&#8217;s ranked-choice voting tabulation, it is expected that Peltola will win Alaska&#8217;s at-large House seat. He will defeat Palin and Republican Nick Begich.</p>
<p>Also, it was projected that Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski would win reelection. She will defeat Kelly Tshibaka, a Republican, and Patricia Chesbro, a Democrat.</p>
<p>Republican Gov. As expected, Mike Dunleavy will be reelected. He defeats Les Gara, Democrat, and Bill Walker, Independent. Dunleavy received more than half of the first-choice votes. Therefore, ranked choice tabulation wasn&#8217;t necessary.</p>
<p>Alaskan voters approved the switch to ranked-choice voting in 2020. It will be in effect for the first time in 2022.</p>
<p>The new system allows Alaskans to hold open primaries. Voters can cast ballots for any candidate and the top four finishers advance. Voters rank these four candidates from their first choice to the fourth.</p>
<p>The state tabulates the results of the ranked choices. If no candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, they drop the last-place finisher and shift those votes to the voters&#8217; second choices. If there is no winner after the first round of tabulation, the third-place finisher will be dropped and the vote-shifting process continues.</p>
<h2>Peltola defeats Palin again</h2>
<p>Peltola won the House seat for the first time in August, when a similar situation played out in an August special election to fill in the term of late Rep. Don Young. Young was a Republican who had represented Alaska in the House for 49 years.</p>
<p>After receiving only 40% of the first-place votes, Peltola was elected the August special election winner. She has a greater share this time around, while Begich and Palin have seen their support drop.</p>
<p>The House race is a great example of the unique alliances that exist in Alaska politics. Although Peltola is a Democrat she is also close to Palin &#8211; whose tenure in Juneau as a state legislator overlapped with Peltola’s as governor. Both have praised one another warmly. Palin has criticized the ranked-choice voting system. She never took personal aim at Peltola.</p>
<p>Palin and Begich, the Republicans in the race for the Republican nomination, urged voters to &#8220;rank red&#8221; and name the two GOP candidates first and second.</p>
<p>After her victory in the special election, Peltola won many of the state&#8217;s voters quickly &#8211; partly because she has strong relationships with several Republicans.</p>
<p>In an interview, Peltola stated that Palin and she had bonded in Juneau as new mothers. She also said that Palin&#8217;s family had given Peltola its backyard trampoline after Palin resigned.</p>
<p>Palin praised Peltola at an Alaska Federation of Natives candidate forum held in October.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doggone, there&#8217;s nothing to complain about. I wish she would come over to the other side. &#8220;But other than that, I love her,&#8221; Palin stated of Peltola.</p>
<p>Peltola&#8217;s family was also close with the Young family. Peltola stated that Young and his father had been hunting friends for decades and they taught school together.</p>
<h2>The trump-backed challenge to Murkowski wins</h2>
<p>Murkowski, a moderate Republican in the race for Alaska&#8217;s Senate Seat, was attacked by Donald Trump when she voted to convict Trump during his impeachment trials following the attack on the US Capitol, on January 6, 2021. Murkowski also voted against Trump on several key votes during Trump&#8217;s presidency.</p>
<p>Trump endorsed Tshibaka and former Trump campaign officials were involved in her campaign. The Alaska Republican Party also supported her, choosing to support the conservative candidate in a state Trump had won by 10 points in 2020.</p>
<p>Murkowski, however, had formed a large coalition in a state that is more complex than it appears. Both she and Peltola had made it clear that they would rank one another first in their elections.</p>
<p>Chesbro, a Democrat, was one of the four candidates that advanced to the general elections. Republican Buzz Kelley, a Republican, also advanced but he dropped out and encouraged his supporters to vote for Tshibaka.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sylvester Stallone said that he was concerned about filming Paramount+&#8217;s new reality show being embarrassing.</p>
<p>He stars alongside Jennifer Flavin (54), and his daughters Scarlet (20 and 26 years old). The series was created by the producers of &#8220;Keeping Up With the Kardashians.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would think, &#8216;Why should I do this crap seriously?'&#8221; ET Canada published an interview with Stallone on Thursday.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;So you had set parameters.&#8221; Nobody is going to be watching you brush your teeth or come in the bathroom.</p>
<p>&#8220;You must stay in that room,&#8221; said the &#8220;Rocky&#8221; star. It worked.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stallone stated that 99 percent of the show was meant for his daughters to &#8220;explore their lives, to see them, to chronicle it and then I&#8217;ll manifest my self here and there.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;I want to be real with my girls.&#8221; &#8220;I want footage of that.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actor of &#8220;Tulsa Kings&#8221; explained that even though it was &#8220;uncharted waters&#8221; for him, he enjoyed giving fans a glimpse into his family life.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would have loved to have seen stars growing up. I remember seeing stars like &#8216;Oh, Brando at home making eggs and giggling around.&#8217; He said that it was interesting.</p>
<p>They are human. They don&#8217;t wear sunglasses or have people applying makeup all day. They do the same silly, repetitive, and absurd things we do every day. This is the kind of thing they do.</p>
<p>Stallone praised &#8220;The Osbournes&#8221;, an MTV reality series that followed the family of Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath founder) for its authenticity.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;I believe Ozzy Osbourne was the first to get it right.&#8221; He didn&#8217;t seem to care. &#8220;He just didn&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>In a video Stallone shared last month on Instagram, he announced the reality series. He said that Bunim-Murray was responsible for the reality show and that it featured a strong lineup.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;This is going to be amazing.&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m in a reality series, I&#8217;m popping into and out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stallone stated that he was motivated by the opportunity to spend more time with his family. &#8220;And what&#8217;s better?&#8221; He said. &#8220;When you need to deal with one another all day, it&#8217;s going be on film. &#8220;I&#8217;ll always be there for the family in some way or another.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stallone revealed to The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month that his greatest regret was not being able to spend more time with his family because of his hectic career. He explained that this was one of the reasons he wanted to host the reality show.</p>
<p>According to the actor, the series would be unscripted and &#8220;the ultimate home movie.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stallone also confirmed that Flavin&#8217;s brief separation will be part of the show. After 25 years of marriage, the ex-model filed for divorce in August. The couple announced at the end of September that they had reconciled.</p>
<p>He said, &#8220;Of course, it&#8217;s part of the show.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s the John Lennon idea: &#8216;Life&#8217; is what happens when your other plans are not made.&#8217; It&#8217;s important to surround yourself with people who can understand the struggles of life, the fragility of it all, and how rare it is for a good relationship.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sometimes I put work before [my family], and that&#8217;s a tragic error which will never happen again.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hyundai has given its smallest sedan a little more muscle.</p>
<p>The 2022 Hyundai Elantra is a high-performance version of the compact Hyundai Elantra that switches its simple and hybrid powertrain options in favor of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.</p>
<p>The motor&#8217;s 2.0-liter rating is 276 horsepower. This is near twice the power of the Elantra&#8217;s entry-level engine.</p>
<p>At $33,245, the Elantra N comes with a six-speed manual transmission. An eight-speed automatic transmission is available for $1500.</p>
<p>This is the only option on Elantra N&#8217;s options list. It is loaded and ready to go, making it one of the most affordable sports cars on sale, if not sports sedans.</p>
<p>The standard Elantra comes with upgrades such as a sport-tuned suspension and computer-controlled adjustable shocks. 19-inch wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S high-performance tires. An aggressive body kit includes a trunk lid wing that improves aerodynamics and cooling. Red cross-bracing tubes are also mounted behind the rear seats to stiffen the chassis.</p>
<p>Interior features include a set of hard-shell racing-style front buckets, blue stitching that is specific to the model, and an instrument cluster as well as an infotainment system with performance data screens such as acceleration timers or power output monitors.</p>
<p>The Elantra N can reach 60 mph in six seconds. This feat is possible thanks to a launch control system. For cars equipped with the manual transmission, engage the N drive mode setting, floor the throttle, and the engine will be set at a preset RPM level. Then, release the clutch to let the traction management system manage the power. It is a harsh experience. There is a lot of wheel slip, followed by tire purchase and engine bogging down as the car speeds away. I haven&#8217;t tried the automatic model so can&#8217;t comment on how it responds.</p>
<p>A set of massive 14.2-inch front brake disks makes slowing down easier. There is also a rev-matching function that automatically blips your throttle when you downshift to smoothen out gear changes. Depending on your mood, you can turn the latter on or off by pressing a large red button on your steering wheel. The button activates the N Grin Shift function in automatic transmission cars. This increases the turbo&#8217;s boost to 286 horsepower for short bursts. The Elantra N also sounds like bombs burst in the air. The exhaust in N mode makes the kind of crackle, boom sounds that you know your neighbors will not complain about.</p>
<p>To amp up the sound, the car can pump motor noise through the speakers. You can adjust the volume and even have a setting that sounds like one of Hyundai&#8217;s TCR race cars. The equalizer can further adjust the tone. This is useful for driving spiritedly, but it&#8217;s better to leave it on.</p>
<p>You can set the custom drive mode to adjust the suspension stiffness and steering feel, as well as how much drifting you allow before the electronic stability controls kick in.</p>
<p>The Elantra N is as fast as it looks. It is well-suited for autocross events or track days but is still a comfortable daily driver when the suspension is at its softest setting. However, the tires are thin enough to make a strong impact on potholes and rutted roads. The standard features include plenty of legroom and an extensive suite of electronic driver aids, including adaptive cruise control that lane-centers, and emergency brakes.</p>
<p>Fuel economy is 25 mpg in the combined mode and 31 mpg highway. This is not enough to match the Elantra hybrid&#8217;s 56 mpg highway ratings and 54 mpg combined, but it&#8217;s nothing compared to the N.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trump, the former President, hosted Nick Fuentes, a White nationalist and Holocaust denier, and Kanye West, a rapper at his Mar-a-Lago property this week. This was a sign of Trump&#8217;s willingness to continue to associate with people who have publicly condemned antisemitic views while he begins a new White House run.</p>
<p>Ye has been legally changed to West&#8217;s name. He posted a Thursday video on Twitter in which Trump claimed that he was &#8220;really impressed&#8221; with Fuentes, who has made numerous antisemitic comments, as documented by the Anti-Defamation League.</p>
<p>West stated in the tweeted video that Fuentes &#8220;is a loyalist&#8221; to Trump, unlike other people who said they had abandoned Trump after 2020.</p>
<p>Fuentes and West said that they had met in a text conversation on Thursday. According to a source familiar with the dinner, Trump met with Fuentes on Tuesday. West became embroiled in controversy in October when he made offensive comments on a podcast and repeated conspiracy theories that were antisemitic.</p>
<p>According to a source, Fuentes was West&#8217;s guest. He attended the dinner with Karen Giorno (who ran Trump&#8217;s 2016 Florida campaign) and an unidentified man. They ate Thanksgiving dinner at Trump&#8217;s outdoor patio table for about two hours.</p>
<p>Trump was in a relationship with Fuentes, and found him &#8220;very fascinating,&#8221; according to a source. This included Fuentes&#8217; ability to rattle off statistics and data and his familiarity with the Trump world.</p>
<p>Fuentes informed Trump during the dinner that he was familiar with &#8220;Trump&#8217;s Base&#8221;, which prefers Trump to be natural and speaking naturally, off-the-cuff, and ad-libbing. Trump stated that his advisors didn&#8217;t like it and wanted him to read from the teleprompter.</p>
<p>Trump stated that he liked Fuentes at one point during dinner.</p>
<p>According to the source the tension grew at different points during the dinner, including when West asked Trump to join his 2024 presidential campaign ticket as vice president. Trump laughed off the request.</p>
<p>Trump posted on Truth Social Friday that he had acknowledged the dinner, writing: &#8220;This week Kanye West called me to invite me to Mar-a-Lago. Soon after, he showed up unexpectedly with three of his friends. I had no idea about them. On Tuesday evening, we had dinner with many of our friends on the back patio. The dinner went quickly and was uneventful. The couple then headed to the airport.</p>
<p>Trump said Friday night that he didn&#8217;t know Fuentes, and offered West business advice as well as political advice.</p>
<p>Truth Social&#8217;s former president wrote that he had told him that he shouldn&#8217;t run for President and that any voters he may have should vote for TRUMP. &#8220;Anyway, we got along great. He expressed no antisemitism &#038; I appreciate all of his nice remarks about me on Tucker Carlson.&#8221;</p>
<p>Friday&#8217;s appearance at Mar-a-Lago by Fuentes was condemned by the White House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bigotry and hate as well as antisemitism are not allowed in America, including Mar-A-Lago. Andrew Bates, a White House spokesperson, stated that Holocaust denial is dangerous and repugnant.</p>
<p>David Friedman, Trump’s former Ambassador to Israel condemned Trump&#8217;s association with West, Fuentes, and other countries.</p>
<p>Donald Trump is my friend. You are more than this. Even a social visit by an antisemite such as Kanye West or a human scum like Nick Fuentes would be unacceptable. He tweeted two tweets on Friday afternoon, &#8220;I urge you to throw out those bums&#8221;, disavowing them and relegating them to the dustbin history where they belong.&#8221; &#8220;Antisemites deserve no quarter among American leaders, right or left.&#8221;</p>
<p>West&#8217;s recent antisemitic comments caused several companies he was associated with, including Balenciaga and Adidas, to end their relationships with him. Over the years, he has made many inflammatory statements including the assertions that slavery is a choice and racism is outdated.</p>
<p>Fuentes has been identified by the Anti-Defamation League as a White supremacist. He has been banned from all major social media platforms because of his White nationalist rhetoric. Fuentes, who was on the grounds at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, promoted Trump&#8217;s unsubstantiated claims of fraud in the 2020 elections. In January, the House select committee that investigated January 6&#8217;s events issued Fuentes a subpoena.</p>
<p>Late Tuesday night, West tweeted that Trump had been kept waiting by him during his first trip to Mar-a-Lago because of rain and traffic. Right Wing Watch, a left-leaning project of People for the American Way posted Tuesday footage showing West and Fuentes walking together through the Miami airport. This footage was also included in the Twitter video West posted.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After Zach Collins, a San Antonio Spurs forward, pushed Russell Westbrook&#8217;s head on Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook began to bleed from the forehead.</p>
<p>Westbrook made a comeback in the third quarter by rebounding his missed layup and getting Collins to take a fake pump. Collins came crashing down upon Westbrook, and he began to bleed profusely. Collins was then confronted by the Lakers guard, who immediately rushed to the court to confront him. The two were forced to separate.</p>
<p>As Westbrook began to bleed, he was carried back to his bench and covered his face with a towel. After the foul, Westbrook was given a technical foul. Collins was given a flagrant 2 foul. Collins was then ejected.</p>
<p>His health is more important than basketball. James said that he tried to stop him and allowed the training staff to do their jobs after he was moved to the bench. Source: ESPN. &#8220;I saw the cut when he got up from the floor. He wanted to, uh&#8230; do something to Zach.&#8221;</p>
<p>Westbrook stated that he was not sure why he was given a technical foul.</p>
<p>He returned to the game wearing a bandage covering his head. He was able to finish the game with 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in the victory of 143-138.</p>
<p>James scored 39 points and grabbed 11 rebounds during the victory. He made a record seven three-pointers, a new career high.</p>
<p>James described the Lakers&#8217; season&#8217;s start as &#8220;just a feeling that you&#8217;re not certain of each other, and we don&#8217;t even know each other.&#8221; &#8220;But we have been learning together over the past couple of weeks. We continue to play good basketball, and share our ball.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week, a violent worker revolt at China&#8217;s largest iPhone plant in central China has further strained Apple&#8217;s supply. It also highlights how China&#8217;s strict zero-Covid policy is affecting global technology companies.</p>
<p>Troubles began last month when workers fled Zhengzhou&#8217;s factory campus, the capital of Henan&#8217;s central province, because of Covid fears. Workers were given bonuses to help them return to work when they were short of staff.</p>
<p>Protests broke out after the new staff claimed that management had broken their promises. Workers clashed with security personnel in hazmat suits and were eventually offered cash to leave.</p>
<p>Analysts believe that the problems facing Taiwan contract manufacturer Foxconn, which is a major Apple supplier, will accelerate the pace of diversification from China to countries such as India.</p>
<p>Wedbush Securities managing director of equity research Daniel Ives stated that Apple was facing an &#8220;albatross&#8221; because of the ongoing shutdown of Foxconn&#8217;s campus in Zhengzhou, central China.</p>
<p>Apple loses approximately $1 billion each week due to the unrest and shutdowns in China. He said that roughly 5% of iPhone 14 sales are now likely to be lost due to the brutal shutdowns in China.</p>
<p>Ives stated that iPhone 14 units were in high demand during Black Friday weekend. This could lead to major shortages leading up to Christmas. He also said that disruptions at Foxconn (which began in October) have been a significant &#8220;gut punch&#8221; for Apple this quarter.</p>
<p>Ives wrote Friday that Black Friday store checks showed major iPhone shortages all over the country.</p>
<p>He wrote that iPhone 14 Pro shortages had become much more severe over the past week based on his analysis. &#8220;We believe that many Apple Stores are experiencing shortages of iPhone 14 Pro&#8230; at least 25%-30% lower than normal going into December.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ming-Chi Kuo (an analyst at TF International Securities) tweeted that the Zhengzhou situation had affected more than 10% of global iPhone production.</p>
<h2>Covid outbreak</h2>
<p>Apple announced earlier this month that shipments of its new iPhone lineup would be &#8220;temporarily affected&#8221; by China&#8217;s Covid restrictions. Apple stated that its Zhengzhou assembly plant, which houses around 200,000 workers, is &#8220;currently operating with significantly reduced capacity&#8221; due to Covid curbs.</p>
<p>Since mid-October, the Zhengzhou campus has been dealing with a Covid epidemic that caused panic among its employees. Foxconn was forced to intensify its efforts to recover its staff after viral videos of Zhengzhou residents walking away from the city went viral on Chinese social networks in early November.</p>
<p>The company announced that it has quadrupled the daily bonuses paid to workers at its plant to attract workers. State media reported last week that 100,000 people were successfully recruited for the vacant positions.</p>
<p>On Tuesday night, however, hundreds of workers, mostly recent hires, protested against the terms and conditions of their pay packages as well as their living conditions. The violence escalated as workers clashed violently with large numbers of security personnel.</p>
<p>Wednesday evening saw the protesters return to their Foxconn dormitories. The company had offered 10,000 yuan ($1,400) to the newly hired workers, roughly two months&#8217; wages, to make them quit the site.</p>
<h2>India has a great opportunity</h2>
<p>Apple stated that it had a team in Zhengzhou working closely with Foxconn on Thursday to address employees&#8217; concerns.</p>
<p>Apple began manufacturing the iPhone 14 in India even before this week&#8217;s demonstrations. This was to diversify its supply chain from China.</p>
<p>It was announced in September and marked a significant shift in the company&#8217;s strategy. This announcement came at a moment when US tech companies were searching for alternatives to China, which has been the world&#8217;s largest factory for decades.</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal reported that the company wanted to increase production in India and Vietnam, citing China’s Covid policy.</p>
<p>Kuo stated on Twitter that he believes Foxconn will accelerate the expansion of India&#8217;s iPhone production capacity due to Zhengzhou lockdowns, which he also cited as the cause of protests.</p>
<p>He predicted that the production of iPhones in India by Foxconn will increase by at least 150% by 2023, compared with 2022. The longer-term goal is to ship between 40 and 45 percent of these phones from India, as opposed to less than 4% currently.</p>

<p>Trump ate dinner at Mar-a-Lago&#8217;s estate with Fuentes and Kanye West last Tuesday. Kanye West became embroiled in controversy last month after making offensive claims and repeating conspiracy theories about antisemitism.</p>
<p>Fuentes has been identified by the Anti-Defamation League as a White Supremacist. He has been banned from all major social media platforms due to his White nationalist rhetoric. Fuentes, who was on the grounds at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, promoted Trump&#8217;s unsubstantiated claims of fraud in 2020. In January, the House select committee that investigated January 6&#8217;s events issued Fuentes a subpoena.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s meeting of the two leaders has been criticized fiercely in recent days. Hutchinson said on Sunday that he hoped one day they wouldn&#8217;t have to respond to Trump&#8217;s statements or actions. It&#8217;s crucial to respond in this instance.</p>
<p>Hutchinson is a former US Attorney from Arkansas and will be leaving office in January. He is currently considering a bid for the White House in 2024. Trump used Trump&#8217;s controversial meeting as an opportunity to highlight his record on such matters. Bash stated that &#8220;the last time I met a White supremacist, it was during an armed standoff. I was wearing a bulletproof vest. They were arrested, charged, and sent to prison.</p>
<p>Trump engaged Fuentes last week at dinner and considered him very interesting, according to a source. This was mainly due to Fuentes&#8217; ability to rattle off statistics and data and his familiarity with Trump&#8217;s world. Trump stated that he liked Fuentes at one point during the dinner.</p>
<p>Trump posted on Truth Social Friday that he had acknowledged the dinner, writing: &#8220;This week Kanye West called me to invite me to Mar-a-Lago. Soon after, he showed up unexpectedly with three of his friends. I had no idea about them. On Tuesday evening, we had dinner with many of our friends on the back patio. The dinner went quickly and was uneventful. The couple then headed to the airport.</p>
<p>Trump said Friday night that he didn&#8217;t know Fuentes, and offered West business advice as well as political advice.</p>
