Woman reports hearing noises under her floor, LAPD officers find man hiding in crawl space
The noises were no stray opossum or raccoon but a man — reportedly naked and, authorities said, living in the crawl space underneath the woman’s home. The noises “were usually late at night, so we just chalked it up to animals being in the house,” the woman’s son-in-law Ricardo Silva told NBC News. “He refused to leave,” Silva told NBC News. Betancourt was arrested by the LAPD at 4:25 a.m. Friday and booked on a misdemeanor charge, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department . —©2024 Los Angeles Times.

How Elon Musk got even richer after Donald Trump's election win
The wealth injection came largely from a surge in the stock price of his companies Tesla and SpaceX after the re-election of Donald Trump. "I suspect Elon Musk finds Donald Trump to be an appealing figure. "We have to get Elon," Trump instructed a photographer as they all posed for family photos on the historic night. DOGE is also the name of a cryptocurrency Elon Musk has bought and frequently promoted. "It'll be interesting to see how long [Elon Musk] wants to remain committed, but he certainly has the president's ear."

Keir Starmer Slammed For Not Addressing Protesting Farmers' Fury Over Inheritance Tax
'Inheritance tax decision is fair and proportionate'Sky's @TrevorPTweets asks Transport Secretary @LouHaigh why the PM didn't speak to farmers protesting about the budget measures yesterday in Wales.#TrevorPhillips https://t.co/fhIHlpTGAF📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and YouTube pic.twitter.com/bf53bXTjsK — Sky News (@SkyNews) November 17, 2024Keir Starmer has been slammed after failing to address protesting farmers’ concerns over Labour’s changes to inheritance tax this weekend. Hundreds of demonstrating farmers gathered outside the Welsh Labour conference as the prime minister was speaking on Saturday, holding signs which read “enough is enough” and “no farmers no food”. On Sky News on Sunday, presenter Trevor Phillips asked transport secretary Louise Haigh why the PM had not acknowledged the crowds outside. Perhaps you might want to correct the tone.”Haigh told the show that Labour recognise the contribution from farmers through its new deal with farmers which would make sure 50% of our food comes from British farmers. Starmer did not mention the farmers in his speech on Saturday, but did say he would “defend our decisions in the Budget all-day long”.

Jayden Maiava struggles and shines as USC beats Nebraska to revive bowl hopes
Any last chance of the Trojans salvaging their season — or at least securing a bowl bid — rested on his broad shoulders. The weight of the moment was what Jayden Maiava had transferred to USC to find in the first place. That hope wavered and wobbled throughout a 28-20 win over Nebraska, as USC's new quarterback looked equally dynamic and confounding at different junctures. But it was running back Marks who once again proved to be the steadying hand, even as a new quarterback took the reins. However, the story was Maiava, who became the first quarterback of Polynesian descent to start at quarterback for USC.

Trump's Republican Allies Shape Climate Summit Debate
Trump's Republican Allies Shape Climate Summit Debate GOP lawmakers promote fossil fuels as Baku conference focuses on reducing emissionsAt the COP29 climate summit held recently in Baku, Azerbaijan, the undercurrents of U.S. politics took center stage, particularly the looming influence of Donald Trump and his Republicans as they gathered to discuss climate strategies. This theme was somewhat at odds with the primary objectives of COP29, which emphasized reducing reliance on fossil fuels to combat climate change. The political ramifications of Trump’s possible re-entry to power loomed large over the climate talks, with many delegates expressing concerns about rolled-back commitments to international climate agreements. Trump's narrative, emphasizing energy independence through fossil fuel enhancement, potentially signals significant shifts at the international climate table. With the upcoming U.S. elections likely influencing discussions, the future of America's role in global climate efforts hangs precariously in the balance.
