Sarah Huckabee Sanders is Arkansas’s first woman governor : Republican

Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was elected governor of Arkansas on Tuesday, becoming the state’s first female governor and the highest-profile Trump administration official in political office.

Sanders defeated Democratic nominee Chris Jones in the governor’s election in her mainly Republican home state, where former President Donald Trump still enjoys popularity. Sanders was widely expected to win the campaign, which also included Libertarian nominee Ricky Dale Harrington.

Sanders’ campaign, which focused mostly on national concerns, broke state funding records. Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, has repeatedly threatened to use her position to oppose President Joe Biden and the “radical left.”

Sanders, 40, becomes the state’s first female governor and succeeds outgoing term-limited Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Her inauguration is scheduled for January, 16 years after her father, Mike Huckabee, departed office after a 10-year tenure as governor.

Despite a recent cancer diagnosis and a strong campaign from Democratic nominee Chris Jones, Sanders’ win was all but certain. Sanders was chastised during her campaign for not focusing on Arkansas-specific concerns and for restricting press access in favour of highly planned rallies and appearances.

Jones, a Baptist preacher and MIT-educated scientist, chastised Sanders in their single debate two weeks before Election Day for her apparent lack of transparency and clear policy goals.

“The more we have politicians who are unwilling to turn up and answer the tough issues in front of opposing crowds and opposing media, the more we will deviate from the strength of our democracy,” Jones added.

Sanders, in her victory speech on Tuesday night, did not address either the previous or current president, instead sharing tales about supporters she encountered during her campaign.

“This election is about propelling Arkansas to the top,” Sanders declared. “I feel Arkansas has the potential to be first, and I’m committed to being the leader who gets us there.”

Stan Hall, a retired postal worker, said he supported Sanders but wished she would focus more on state issues rather than criticising Biden or extolling her time working for Trump.

“I think you should just state your own feelings about what you’re going to attempt to do to change things,” Hall advised. “Everyone knew who she was and what she did, so continuing to beat that drum was a little too much for me.”

Sanders will succeed Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who will step down in January due to term restrictions. Hutchinson, who supported Sanders’ campaign, is exploring a run for president in 2024 and has regularly disagreed with Trump.

Sanders scaled back daily televised briefings during her nearly two-year stint at the White House after repeatedly fighting with reporters who questioned her aggressively. She was called out on her reliability, especially after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report revealed that Sanders admitted to making an incorrect allegation to media about FBI agents’ reactions to director James Comey’s removal. But she also earned the respect of reporters by working behind the scenes to build ties with the media.

During her campaign for governor, Sanders embraced Trump’s rhetoric and adopted many of his favourite targets, including critical race theory and the national news media. But she has refrained from condemning Hutchinson, even after the former president called her a RINO — Republican In Name Only — for vetoing an anti-transgender bill.

Earthquake of magnitude 6.6 strikes rocks western Nepal, with tremors reported as far away as New Delhi

An earthquake hit west Nepal’s highlands early Wednesday, killing at least six people who were sleeping in their homes, according to a government official.

The tremor was felt as far away as New Delhi, India’s capital, which is around 400 kilometres (250 miles) west of the epicentre.

According to Kalpana Shrestha, the chief officer of Doti district, six people were killed when their dwellings in a remote, sparsely populated mountain community were crushed. Five more people were hurt.

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the lower Himalayan region early Wednesday morning, November 9, causing tremors to tear through north India and portions of Nepal and jolting people out of their sleep in dozens of cities and villages. Strong earthquake shocks were felt in Delhi and the nearby areas of Ghaziabad and Gurugram, as well as in Lucknow, jolting people awake. Here are some recent developments:

Earthquake of magnitude 6.6 strikes rocks western Nepal: Research Editorial

The earthquake, which struck at 2:12 a.m. local time, frightened people in mountain communities, forcing many to spend the night outside, according to Shrestha.

She stated that security forces had been sent to the rural communities to assist with the rescue effort. There were reports of houses being damaged in various areas, but no fresh casualties were reported.

Videos released on social media showed residents moving debris by hand to find casualties buried by earthquake-damaged buildings, as well as shining cell phone lights to shift the heaps of wood and stones used to build dwellings in most mountain villages.

The majority of the mountain settlements can only be accessed by foot, and there are no highways to transport heavy equipment to aid in the rescue.

In a statement, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba said he has directed government authorities to provide urgent support to victims and their families, as well as all necessary medical care to those injured.

The preliminary magnitude was 6.6, according to Nepal’s National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Center. The early data of a 5.6 magnitude earthquake with a depth of 15.7 kilometres (9.8 miles) and an epicentre 21 kilometres (13 miles) east of Dipayal were released by the US Geological Survey.

Earthquakes are widespread in Nepal’s hilly terrain, which is home to the world’s tallest peak. In 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed 9,000 people and injured thousands more.

Elon Musk recommends Republicans to vote in the US midterm elections

Elon Musk recommended on Monday that voters support Republican candidates for US Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, suggested on Monday that voters choose Republican candidates for the United States Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Elon Musk recommends Republicans to vote in the US midterm elections

“To independent-minded voters: Shared authority restrains the worst excesses of both parties; therefore, provided that the presidency is Democratic, I urge voting for a Republican Congress,” Musk wrote on Twitter.

Since Musk’s purchase of Twitter, human rights organisations have attacked the Tesla CEO’s content moderation attitude over his absolutist free speech stance, which they believe would increase the volume of disinformation and hate speech on the platform.

According to nonpartisan election analysts and surveys, Republicans have a very strong probability of winning a House majority, with control of the Senate likely to be fought more closely.

Musk has previously stated that he will vote for Republicans, but he also supports moderates on both sides of the political line.

“Hardcore Democrats and Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters actually decide who’s in charge!” Musk wrote on Twitter.

Midterm elections in the United States in 2022: 5 critical Senate battlegrounds

US Midterm Elections 2022: Democrats reduced the polling gap throughout the summer, hoping for a much closer race.

For much of the year, the US midterm elections were considered as a landslide victory for Republicans, with President Joe Biden’s favour ratings plummeting amid spiralling inflation, record migrant arrivals, and escalating violent crime.

The Democrats closed the polling deficit over the summer and were anticipating for a much closer race after a string of legislative victories and lower gas costs, but momentum appears to have shifted back to the right shortly before the November 8 elections.

The midterm elections do not receive the attention that presidential elections do, but they are critical in determining which party controls Congress – and hence the power to advance or stymie the president’s agenda.

All 435 House of Representatives seats (the lower chamber) are up for grabs, while one-third of senators are running for re-election.

The upper chamber, with its statewide constituency and six-year terms, is regarded more powerful and prestigious, and is controlled by Democrats courtesy to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote.

At least eight of the 35 Senate races are considered competitive, but the battle for control of the chamber will most likely be decided in five important states.

US Midterm Elections 2022: Democrats reduced the polling gap throughout the summer, hoping for a much closer race.

Pennsylvania

Democrat John Fetterman’s strong advantage over Republican celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz has all but vanished, turning the contest into a squeaker.

Fetterman is recovering from a stroke suffered in May, and his weak performance in the campaign’s only debate has slowed his momentum even further.

The two are competing for the seat of a retiring Republican, which remains Democrats’ top aim for flipping a seat.

Democrats have painted Oz as an opportunistic New Jersey carpetbagger with shaky local ties and a penchant for gaffes that show he is out of touch.

Meanwhile, Fetterman is under examination for his health and has been chastised for his law enforcement record as lieutenant governor, which opponents claim was too lenient.

Nevada

In Nevada, the country’s tightest contest for some time, Republican candidate Adam Laxalt leads Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto by 0.6 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.

Democratic strategists have raised concerns about turnout, with many Latinos vowing to boycott the election despite Cortez Masto being the first Latina woman elected to the United States Senate.

“It’s what keeps me awake at night,” said Melissa Morales, president of the pro-Cortez Masto Somos PAC.

“What I’m interested in is whether or not Latinos vote this year. We will win in Nevada if there is a large turnout.”

In the summer, the National Republican Senatorial Committee released Spanish-language ad messaging emphasising the Democratic candidate’s criminal justice record as the state’s attorney general.

Georgia

In Georgia, Republican contender Herschel Walker appeared to be the GOP’s best shot to defeat incumbent rookie Democrat and pastor Raphael Warnock.

Despite a series of gaffes, Walker’s name recognition as a former football star has kept him in the race, and he leads Warnock by 1.4 points in the polling average.

Warnock has prioritised lowering prescription drug costs, tackling climate change, and assisting in the restoration of abortion rights.

Walker has concentrated on the economy and anti-abortion rhetoric.

However, his campaign has been dogged by allegations of past domestic abuse, an overstated resume, fathering children outside of his marriage, and paying to have the pregnancies of two former girlfriends aborted.

Ohio

The battle to replace retiring Republican Rob Portman was previously thought to be the Democrats’ greatest chance for a pickup, but Republican J.D. Vance has held a solid, if tiny, advantage since a shaky start to his campaign.

Democrat Tim Ryan, who has represented the Buckeye State in the US Congress for the last two decades, has won only two of 15 major surveys against the Silicon Valley venture entrepreneur and author, who leads by an average of two points.

Economic issues are at the top of the list of voters’ concerns, as they are across the country, with inflation and the cost of living energising Ohioans the most, followed by abortion.

“Right now, it’s considerably better to be a Republican candidate than a Democratic candidate,” said Brent Buchanan of polling firm Cygnal.

“Voters are scrutinising the issue landscape and their candidate alternatives, emphasising topics that directly touch them, which is driving more undecided voters to the (Republicans).”

Wisconsin

In Wisconsin, Republican Senator Ron Johnson battled during the summer but moved ahead of Democratic rival Mandela Barnes in mid-September and is now leading by 3.3 points in a poll average of the latest 16 polls.

Barnes, like Fetterman, is a lieutenant governor who has been accused of being soft on crime, especially due to his lobbying for less stringent bail terms.

“Wisconsin has released 784 violent offenders back into our community under Mandela Barnes,” Johnson tweeted.

“There have been 270 murders and attempted murders. Mandela Barnes’ policies endanger our neighbourhoods. He’s too far out for Wisconsin.”

In the final days of the campaign, former President Barack Obama criticised Johnson as someone who “understands granting tax benefits for private planes more than he understands ensuring that seniors who’ve worked all their lives can retire with dignity and respect.”

In an effort to escalate tensions, rival Koreas scramble warplanes

After tracking about 180 flights by North Korean warplanes inside North Korean territory, South Korea scrambled about 80 military aircraft, including advanced F-35 fighter jets, on Friday in what appeared to be a defiant show of strength.

North Korea mobilized warplanes after testing around 30 ballistic missiles in the previous two days, including an intercontinental ballistic missile on Thursday that triggered evacuation warnings in Japan, in retaliation for ongoing joint exercises involving hundreds of US and South Korean military planes.

After tracking about 180 flights by North Korean warplanes inside North Korean territory, South Korea scrambled about 80 military aircraft, including advanced F-35 fighter jets, on Friday in what appeared to be a defiant show of strength.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea stated that North Korean warplanes were detected in various areas inland and along the country’s eastern and western coasts, but did not fly particularly close to the Korean border. The South Korean military observed about 180 flight trials between 1 and 5 p.m., but it was unclear how many North Korean planes were involved or whether some flew more than once.

None of the planes crossed the South Korean military’s virtual “tactical action” line, which is located 20 to 50 kilometers (12 to 30 miles) north of Korea’s land and sea borders and is used for monitoring to allow the South enough time to respond to provocations or attacks.

The United States and South Korea have been conducting joint “Vigilant Storm” aerial exercises involving approximately 240 warplanes, including F-35s. The exercises were supposed to end on Friday, but the allies decided to extend them until Saturday in response to North Korea’s increased testing activity this week.

The drills were extended on Thursday after North Korea conducted an ICBM test, which triggered evacuation alerts and temporarily halted trains in northern Japan. Following the launch, it launched two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea.

A senior North Korean military official, Pak Jong Chon, subsequently made a statement threatening reprisal for the drills’ continuation. North Korea then fired three more missiles into the sea and fired approximately 80 artillery rounds into the eastern areas of maritime buffer zones established by the rivals of their eastern and western coasts in 2018 as part of tension-reduction agreements.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and South Korean Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup issued a joint statement Thursday following a meeting at the Pentagon in which they “strongly criticized” North Korea’s recent nuclear demonstrations.

Both defense leaders emphasized that any use of nuclear weapons, including tactical nuclear devices, against Seoul or other regional allies like Japan, would “result at the end of the Kim Jong Un regime by an overwhelming and decisive response of the alliance,” Lee said at a joint news conference with Austin.

Harris will announce more than $13 billion in aid to help reduce winter energy expenses

Vice President Kamala Harris will announce new initiatives taken by the Biden administration to assist Americans to save money on energy this winter on Wednesday.

According to the White House, the US Department of Health and Human Services would provide $4.5 billion in aid to help reduce heating expenses for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

“In addition to paying home heating costs this winter and outstanding utility bills, the program will assist families in making cost-effective home energy renovations to cut their heating and cooling rates,” according to a statement from the White House.

According to the White House, LIHEAP has helped 5.3 million homes in the United States with heating, cooling, and weatherization in the last year.

The US Department of Energy will also spend $9 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funds to assist up to 1.6 million households countrywide in improving their houses to reduce energy bills. According to the White House, this will be divided into two refund programs: one for whole-house energy efficiency retrofits and another for highly efficient and electric home appliances.

According to the White House, Harris will address the measures when visiting a union hall and training center in Boston on Wednesday.

MORE: Higher heating expenditures are likely this winter due to energy market turmoil: Report

According to a recent analysis from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, an independent agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, nearly half of U.S. households rely on natural gas for heating, and their bills could jump 28% this winter compared to last winter, while bills for heating oil are projected to be 27% higher and electricity 10% higher.

According to a recent assessment by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, which represents LIHEAP state directors, energy expenses are likely to be the highest this winter in more than a decade. This comes amid surging inflation rates, with consumer prices in the United States rising to a 40-year high of 6.6% in September.

A number of reasons have contributed, including a comeback in global energy use following the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic, which has caused price hikes, and Russia’s war in Ukraine, which has increased costs and reduced supplies.

Russia deploys MiG-31 fighter jets to Belarus with ballistic ‘Killjoy’ missiles, according to UK intelligence.

Western defense sources on Tuesday warned that Russia had “probably certainly” deployed two MiG-31K Foxhound fighter jets and an AS-24 Killjoy ballistic missile in Belarus.

according to the United Kingdom’s defense minister, the deployment of the missile, which has a range of up to 1,200 miles, is the first time Moscow has used one of its restricted Killjoy weapons in Belarus.

DURING A TENSE AID PHONE CALL, BIDEN Shouted AT UKRAINE’S ZELENSKYY: REPORT

The MiG-31K is “suited to carry” the ballistic missile, but defense experts contend that deploying the weaponry to Belarus will do little to help Russia’s strategic interests in Ukraine.

The intelligence briefing stated that “it continues to waste its advanced long-range weapons against targets of minimal operational importance.” “By basing KILLJOY in Belarus, Russia gains no benefit in terms of attacking additional targets in Ukraine.”

Since first invading Ukraine in February, Moscow has relied on Minsk, utilizing its borders to deploy thousands of troops, firing missiles from Belarusian airspace, and regrouping its forces after being forced to retreat from northern Ukraine.

Western defense experts have been keeping a close eye on Lukashenko’s military plans for months, as he has stationed troops alongside Russian forces on the Ukraine-Belarus border.

Kyiv, on the other hand, has stated repeatedly that it does not expect Minsk will completely engage in the fight alongside Moscow by unleashing invading forces.

Ukrainian leaders, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have frequently requested improved air defense systems and airplanes from Western partners, as Russia increasingly depends on air-based attacks.

According to Ukraine’s Operational Command South, Russian forces have targeted settlements along the front lines in Mykolaiv and Kherson, where the fierce battle continues.

According to Ukrainian news outlet Pravda, the military stated that “the enemy is conducting aerial surveillance, including the use of combat drones that return to base.” “When Lancet drones are employed for surveillance missions, explosives are also dropped on their target.”

Today’s Headline: Elon Musk closes a $44 billion Twitter deal, bringing an end to a months-long saga.

Britain’s first Prime Minister of Indian descent is Rishi Sunak!

Rishi Sunak is set to become Britain’s next prime minister after winning the Conservative leadership election. This makes him the most powerful person in the country. The 42-year-old former Treasury Secretary and investment banker are already one of the richest people in the UK, thanks largely to the wealth of his wife Akshata Murthy.

The 42-year-old Murthy is the daughter of N.R. Narayana Murthy, co-founder and former chairman of the Indian tech giant Infosys, which Forbes values at $4.5 billion. The great majority of her and Sunak’s combined wealth consists of her own $715 million 0.93% ownership in the publicly traded digital services consulting company. More than a quarter of a billion dollars wealthier than the $500 million personal fortune of King Charles III, Forbes estimates Sunak and his wife Murthy to be worth about $810 million. An inquiry for comment was not immediately answered by Sunak or Murthy.

As the new Prime Minister, Sunak will now move to 10 Downing Street, next to his former residence when he was Prime Minister for Boris Johnson from February 2020 until July this year. He will also have access to Checkers, the 16th-century incumbent Prime Minister’s campaign retreat in Buckinghamshire.

The largest property in their collection is the Manor House, a heritage-listed two-story 19th-century country mansion in the village of Kirby Sigston in North Yorkshire, which they purchased in July 2015 for 2.3. millions of dollars. The couple are said to have spent $450,000 setting up a recreation center with a 40ft pool, gym, and outdoor tennis court. In London, their main residence is 16 Hesper Mews in upscale Kensington, a four-bedroom townhouse they bought for $7.1 million in 2010. Sunak also owns an apartment on Old Brompton Road. , in nearby South Kensington, which he bought for about $300,000. in September 2001. In California, where Sunak and Murthy met as students at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, they are said to own a beachfront penthouse at 1705 Ocean Ave. in Santa Monica, worth $7.5 million.

Murthy faced scrutiny over her tax status earlier this year when Sunak served as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Britain’s finance minister, and No 2 job in government. As an Indian citizen, Murthy is a tax resident of her country and she confirmed in April that she has ‘non-resident’ status in the UK, which allows her to avoid taxes on dividends and capital gains in the UK. Through a spokeswoman, Murthy told the BBC she pays around $34,000 a year to maintain the status, a fee charged if a person has lived in the UK for at least seven of the previous nine years.

Forbes estimates Murthy earned $70 million (before taxes) in dividends from Infosys between 2015 and 2022, plus $17 million from the December 2017 stock sale. India taxes dividends and interest. long-term capital at 10%, compared with 20% on capital gains and 39.35% dividends for the top earners. That means Murthy could have saved around $22 million in taxes by taking advantage of India’s lower tax rate. Following public outcry, his spokesman announced in April that Murty would begin paying UK tax on his gross income, including dividends and capital gains, “immediately” and for the previous tax year.

Murthy has also invested in his native India through a company in Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean often described as a tax haven. It holds a 5% stake in International Market Management, a British company that owns 100% of the shares of Mauritian Immassociates Mauritius. According to a Guardian investigation, Immassociates Mauritius owns 50% of Sierra Nevada Restaurants, an Indian company that operates four Wendy`s restaurants in New Delhi, as well as 100% of Dolomite Restaurants, which owns 11 franchises in New Delhi. India by famous British chef Jamie Oliver,restaurant chain’s. Investing through a Mauritius-based company may have allowed the company’s shareholders to limit capital gains and share tax bills, according to an expert analysis from the Internal Revenue Service of India.

Born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent from East Africa, Sunak attended the exclusive boarding school of the University of Winchester and served as a waitress at an Indian restaurant during the summer holidays. He then studied politics, philosophy, and economics at Oxford University, before starting a three-year stint at Goldman Sachs. After earning his MBA at Stanford in 2006, he later became a partner at the London-based hedge fund The Children’s Investment Fund (TCIF), founded and run by billionaire Chris Hohn.

Sunak left TCIF in 2009 to join Santa Monica-based Theleme Partners, a fund founded by former TCIF co-founder Patrick Degorce. Sunak owns less than 5% of the company, which has $2.2 billion in assets under management according to the last available disclosure form filed in February 2013. He left Theleme in 2013 to found Catamaran Ventures UK with his wife, Akshata.

It’s not clear how much Sunak has earned in the financial sector, but his new prime ministership comes with a huge pay rise: he’ll now earn more than $185,000 a year, nearly double the $95,000 his him as a congressman.
