Jamieson Greer, Kevin Hassett, and Vince Haley are all veterans of the first Trump administration.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has added multiple new players to his team in a flurry of picks late on Nov. 26.

Trump named Jamieson Greer as U.S. Trade Representative, a key role in implementing his economic policies, under the Department of Commerce.

Trump also named first-term veteran Kevin Hassett as director of the National Council of Economic Advisors and Vince Haley as director of the Domestic Policy Council.

Greer is a trade specialist who served as chief of staff to then-U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in the first Trump administration.

“Jamieson played a key role during my first term in imposing tariffs on China and others to combat unfair trade practices, and replacing the failed [North American Free Trade Agreement] deal with [United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement], therefore making it much better for American workers,” Trump wrote of Greer, now an attorney with the international team at King & Spaulding.

He described Lighthizer, at times expected to reprise his role, as “a spectacular leader and person.”

Kamala Harris Addresses Supporters After Post-Election Vacation in Hawaii
November 27, 2024
The remarks are the first time that the vice president has spoken publicly since her Nov. 6 concession speech. Vice President Kamala Harris, who returned this week from a post-election vacation in Hawaii, told supporters during a call with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Nov. 26 that they still have power, even in uncertain times. “The outcome of this election, obviously, is not what we wanted. It is not what we work so hard for, but I am proud of the race we ran,” Harris said in the early part of her remarks, as she praised her former running mate. Harris, 60, said that “the fight that fueled our campaign, a fight for freedom and opportunity … did not end on Nov. 5.” The effort includes fighting for an America where women can get abortions whenever they want, the Democrat said. She then turned to consoling supporters. “I know this is an uncertain time. I’m clear-eyed about that. I know you’re clear-eyed about it, and it feels heavy,” she said. “I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5th, and you have the same purpose that you did, and you have the same ability to engage… […]
Holiday-bound US turns focus to inflation, France tense By Reuters
November 27, 2024
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan With Wall Street about to log off for what’s effectively a four-day Thanksgiving holiday, trade tariff jitters are replaced by inflation angst as the Federal Reserve gets another price check. Although big automakers took a hit, broad U.S. stock indexes seemed unperturbed on Tuesday by President-elect Donald Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China. The main heat was in the Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and their related bourses – while stocks in Europe, Japan and South Korea wobbled again. But the gained more than half a percentage point through the session, closing back above 6,000 at another record high. Futures were back off marginally ahead of today’s bell. With trading thinning this week, stocks are still feeding off assumptions about the extent of Trump’s agenda of tax cuts, tariff rises and immigration crackdowns. Surveys showing a jump in consumer confidence this month helped. There’s also been some relief this week from a calming of the Treasury market, with yields retreating in a week of big debt sales – due to mix of optimism about money manager Scott Bessent’s… Read the full article here […]
With Citgo share auction in shambles, US court readies plan to start over By Reuters
November 27, 2024
By Gary McWilliams and Marianna Parraga HOUSTON (Reuters) – An auction of shares in a Citgo Petroleum parent to pay claims against Venezuela needs to be overhauled, a court adviser recommended on Tuesday, conceding a year-long sale process was in shambles and needed to start fresh. U.S. District Court in Delaware is auctioning shares in PDV Holding to repay $21.3 billion in claims against Venezuela and state-oil firm PDVSA for expropriations and debt defaults. The recommendation in a court filing came after an up to $7.3 billion bid by an affiliate of activist fund Elliott Investment Management failed to win support from creditors. At least two groups had told the court they could present offers if allowed to re-enter the bidding contest. Court adviser Robert Pincus proposed to re-launch the auction after being admonished by the judge for a lack of an agreement that met terms set more than a year ago. The adviser had granted Elliott exclusive negotiating rights and would have let it defer payments, conditions that creditors said unduly favored Elliott. Elliott’s wholly owned affiliate, Amber Energy, which in September was named the original auction’s winner but never concluded… […]
Coast-to-coast winter storm packing heavy snow to cause chaos for Thanksgiving holiday travel
November 27, 2024
Millions of Americans across the US have started to pack the roads and airports ahead of Thanksgiving, but a powerful storm moving from coast to coast could snarl travel before the holiday and as people begin their journeys home after celebrating with family and friends. The first half of the busy Thanksgiving travel week includes storms dumping rain and mountain snow in the West, while the eastern half of the country deals with rain, freezing rain and snow. If that wasn’t enough to dampen the holiday spirit, the FOX Forecast Center is tracking another winter storm that could significantly impact travel in the Northeast as millions of people prepare to head home. The FOX Forecast Center said that the last of a series of low-pressure systems is moving across the West Coast and into the Rockies, bringing winter weather and rain to the region. A significant winter storm will bring heavy snow across portions of Colorado and Utah. Winter Storm Warnings are in effect across the region in anticipation of snow totals that could reach up to 3 feet in the highest elevations, making travel extremely difficult, if not… Read the full article here […]

‘What Divides Us’ producer honors grandfather’s Hiroshima reportage
November 27, 2024
In the spring of 1946, Kiyoshi Tanimoto, a Japanese Methodist minister who had been educated in the United States, and Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist John Hersey came together for a project of dire importance — to preserve the stories of those who had survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. “If you can’t tell this story to the world, we are going to die twice,” Tanimoto told Hersey, whose accounting was published in The New Yorker magazine on Aug. 31, 1946 — almost a year after the bombs destroyed both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The piece was titled, “Hiroshima.” More than seven decades later, Hersey’s grandson, Cannon, made a remarkable discovery while digging through the Yale University archives: a 230-page memoir by Tanimoto and written in English, covering the two years following the Hiroshima bombing.

Netanyahu covered by ICC ‘immunity’ provisions: France
November 27, 2024
Provisions for immunity from prosecution at the International Criminal Court apply to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the French foreign ministry said Wednesday. In a statement, the ministry reaffirmed its commitment to international justice after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, but also said that the Israeli leader was covered by immunity rules that apply to states which are not a party to the ICC. Israeli is not an ICC member. […]
Study Offers New Hope for Treating ‘Invisible’ Tumours
November 27, 2024
New research from Hudson Institute of Medical Research uncovers clues to treating ‘invisible’ cancer. Groundbreaking research published in Nature Immunology offers new hope for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of lung cancer. Australian scientists have discovered how to make “cold tumours” visible to the immune system, paving the way for treatments that would prevent the cancer from spreading and improve survival rates. The study, a collaboration between Hudson Institute of Medical Research, Monash Health, Cancer Care Manitoba, and Peninsula Oncology, highlights the crucial role of the immune system in detecting tumours and preventing their migration. “The innate immune system is often associated with the body’s response to infection. We show that it is also critical for the body to be able to ’see’ a tumour as it develops,” said Associate Professor Dan Gough from the Hudson Institute of Medical Research in Victoria. “Without this immune visibility, tumours rapidly spread.” Cracking the Code of ‘Cold Tumours’ Lead researcher Aleks Guanizo explained that the study identified a key process needed for the… […]
Party of Hurting Women – Twitchy
November 27, 2024
One of the things I truly hope happens in the Donald Trump administration — complete with a GOP-controlled House and Senate — is the pursuit of consequences for Democratic politicians who lie about abortion. But Chrissy Teigen and People joined forces to classify her miscarriage care as an ‘abortion’ (an alarming, nefarious attempt by the Left to normalize abortion by shifting language to equate abortion to miscarriage care and childbirth). Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times also lied about Nevada’s anti-abortion laws, trying to blame those laws for the arrest of a mom who intentionally caused a miscarriage. It’s a damning indictment of the Left that, much like making up racist incidents, they need to lie about anti-abortion laws. This tells me that anti-abortion laws aren’t actually killing women. Here’s Rep. Pramila Jayapal also lying about Texas abortion laws. Recommended Texas’ extreme abortion ban has now caused three women to die. Porsha Ngumezi should be alive today — but Texas Republicans would rather strip away reproductive freedoms than save lives. This is… Read the full article here […]
