FCCISL congratulates NPP; pledges support for economic and governance reformsBROOKLYN PARK, Minn. — Huldah Momanyi-Hiltsley is the first Kenyan-born state legislator in the country. The Democrat is set to represent Osseo and parts of Brooklyn Park. “IT’S OVERWHELMING AND HUMBLING“ - This newly elected state representative is making NATIONWIDE history - Huldah... Momanyi-Hiltsley says her dream of becoming a U.S. citizen almost didn't happen. "We were literally 48 hours from being deported from this country," said Momanyi-Hiltsley. She moved to Minnesota at the age of nine — her family making the over 8,000-mile journey from Nyamira County in Kenya. But after 11 years working through the U.S. immigration system, it was a last-minute intervention by then-Senator Paul Wellstone that made the difference. "Our case was then able to be overturned and I couldn't have imagined I would be sitting here, doing an interview, 22+ years later as the newly elected representative for this district," said Momanyi-Hiltsley. The district covering Brooklyn Park and Osseo in the Minnesota House holds a special place for Momanyi-Hiltsley. It's an area she considers another home after attending Cooper High School in nearby New Hope. But the news of her election win is leading to high-profile invites in her home country. "They have invited me to go with my family for a homecoming celebration," she said. "There's a possibility of even meeting the president of Kenya and the first lady for a state visit." The win here in Minnesota is also generating a sense of pride or "kiburi" in Swahili for those in Kenya. "We belive in her," said Duke Maigna Echate, who grew up with her in Kenya. "We are going to support her both spiritually and socially." A support system that this wife and mother of two says led her own American dream. "I sit here as a testament for what this country stands for and the freedoms," Momanyi-Hiltsley added.

With the Dolphins ahead 31-7 over the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon in the fourth quarter at Hard Rock Stadium, Mike McDaniel unloaded the bench and sent the backups in. After all, Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense had basically had their way with their AFC East rivals for most of the day. With a short week ahead, it made sense to get their starters some rest. Well, that is until backup QB Skylar Thompson couldn't get the handoff executed with Jaylen Wright, leading to a fumble that the Patriots returned for a touchdown to turn a blowout into a two-score game. GONE-zo went 62 yards for the TD! : CBS pic.twitter.com/3ipg1qHazL The result? Tua Tagovailoa came back on the field and helped avoid disaster. But, then again, that's what he's been doing over the last few weeks. Bailing out this team after mishaps. And Tua has shown during that time - and during his time on injured reserve with a concussion - just how very invaluable he is to the Miami Dolphins franchise. Just why the team handed him a 4-year, $212.4 million extension during training camp. Of course, Tua was able to help close out the game, as the Dolphins won 34-15 and improved to 5-6 on the season, their third straight win since he returned from IR. And Sunday was his best performance of the season. He completed 29/40 attempts for 317 yards with 4 touchdowns and no turnovers. It wasn't just the numbers. It was the playbook opening up completely, with everything on the table for Mike McDaniel. Because there are very, very few quarterbacks in the league who can put the football in a specific spot and at a specific moment like Tagovailoa can do. And that includes what Miami had on its roster. Skylar Thompson couldn't do it. Tyler Huntley couldn't either. Tim Boyle, no shot. However, in retrospect, that pretty much that would have been the case for the majority of quarterbacks the Dolphins brought in this offseason. And even among starting-caliber quarterbacks, it's hard to see many who could operate Mike McDaniel's offense with the accuracy and timing that Tua possesses, which are far and away the strengths of his game. And those have been on full display over the last three weeks. It's been a great stretch for this Dolphins team, who are now finally looking like what many hoped they would this season. But Tua's high quality of play has proven that Chris Grier's decision to invest in him was a wise one - as has the sting of his absence.

A graffiti attack has been condemned as the latest hate crime designed to strike fear into Jewish communities, as leaders worry about how the attacks could escalate. Login or signup to continue reading The overnight incident in Sydney's eastern suburbs is an "abhorrent anti-Semitic hate crime" following similar incidents across the country, the prime minister says. Graffiti including 'Kill Israiel' (sic) was sprayed on buildings and footpaths in Woollahra, a suburb known for its Jewish community, in the early hours of Wednesday. A car, believed to be stolen, which the perpetrators drove to the scene was set on fire on Magney Street, NSW police said. Resources have been increased as officers follow all leads, Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters. "What happened last night is disgusting, and there's no place for hate of this nature in Sydney or anywhere in Australia," she said. Premier Chris Minns said it was a hate crime. "A violent act of destruction, clearly anti-Semitic, designed to strike fear into the community that lives in this part of Sydney," he told reporters. The perpetrators, believed to be two males of slim build, aged between 15 and 20, wore face coverings and dark clothing. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was an "anti-Semitic attack". "This isn't an attack on a government, this is an attack on people because they happen to be Jewish," he told ABC radio. "This is a hate crime, it's as simple as that." Mr Albanese said the perpetrators committed "abhorrent criminal behaviour". "This does not change anything that is occurring on the ground in the Middle East," he said. "This is an attack against their fellow Australians." Foreign Minister Penny Wong said acts of hate had no place in Australia and anti-Semitism was condemned wherever it occurred. "Australian Jewish communities have a right to be and feel safe," she said on social media. The attack comes after the Adass Israel Synagogue at Ripponlea in Melbourne's southeast was set alight in a pre-dawn attack on Friday while a number of people were inside. Australian Federal Police have set up a special operation in response to the "likely" act of terrorism, which will investigate threats, violence and hatred towards the Jewish community and parliamentarians. It will also investigate Wednesday's attack, the second recent incident in Woollahra after buildings and vehicles were targeted in November. A ute was set on fire, and multiple cars, a restaurant and other buildings were graffitied with anti-Israel messages. Two men are in custody, charged over that attack. Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said it was designed to terrorise Jewish Australians. "The Jewish community again wakes to scenes of terror and devastation," he said. "How long will this continue and with what horrors will it end?"

Fresh daily!The Buffalo Bills will emerge from their bye week hoping to continue their blistering form, which saw them rattle off six straight wins, including handing the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season. With Josh Allen playing perhaps the best football of his career, wheeling and dealing in Joe Brady's offense, there aren't the worries over No. 17 as there were once in preseason. No Stefon Diggs nor Gabriel Davis had many wondering if this would be a down year for Allen, who had a receiver-by-committee approach on offense. Well, through 11 weeks, it looks like those fears were misplaced. As we head toward Thanksgiving , CBS Sports has named one thing that Buffalo can be thankful for, and to no one's surprise, it's centered around Allen. "Josh Allen doesn't need an all-world setup," CBS Sports writes . "With a reshuffled and occasionally injury-plagued receiving corps, he's remained a one-man show to keep the Bills among the AFC powers. Another run is on tap." (Mark Konezny-Imagn Images) With the Bills offense humming of late, scoring at least 30 points in their last five games, Allen is doing a superb job at distributing the football to whichever receiver is open. Related: Could Bye Week Slow Bills' Flow? That creates confusion for defenses as there is no No. 1 receiver to zero in on, with Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, Mack Hollins, Dawson Knox, and Curtis Samuel all having their moments in the sun this season. But that all happens because of the play of Allen, who has proved that he doesn't need the "all-world" setup as CBS described; he can take an offense full of players that aren't household names and wins with them. And that is something the Bills organization is no doubt thankful for. Related: It's Bills’ Josh Allen vs. 'The Unknown Mystery' of the 49ersNone
