by Linda Straker Opposition Leader Dr Keith Mitchell has written to the Commissioner of Police requesting that an investigation be conducted into a claim made on the social media platform Facebook by a poster named Kennedy Budhlall which alleges that there were plans by the duo to kill a man for politics. “I am writing to formally request an investigation into a concerning post made on Facebook on or about November 21, 2024, under the profile name of Kennedy Budhlall. This post alleges that a “Dr Mitchell” is engaged in a plot to commit murder in collaboration with Mr Budhlall,” said the letter which was sent on 6 December. “The content of the post appears to reference me, as I have been vocal about issues related to murder in the political context and specifically mentioned “Innocent Belmar” during a discussion at a political meeting around the same timeframe,” the former Minister for National Security said in the letter. Pointing out to the Police Commissioner that he has received numerous calls and comments from concerned individuals who also believe that the reference pertains to him, Dr Mitchell wrote, “Given the gravity of the allegation that involves a potential murder plot, it is imperative that this matter be addressed promptly. The implications of such accusations can be damaging not only to my reputation but also to public safety.” “I kindly request that your office investigate this allegation to clarify the identity of those involved and the nature of their claims. Any findings would be greatly appreciated, as they could help dispel misinformation and ensure no threats to individuals arise from this situation,” concludes the letter from the former Prime Minister. In an interview last Friday, Dr Mitchell said that he thinks it strange that such a claim was made publicly, and the police service has done nothing. “Someone has claimed that they were in on some plot to kill someone, and the police have not moved, so we wrote them,” he said. Days after the post was published, well-known political activist Kennedy Budhlall was scheduled to be a guest on a social media talk show to discuss the issue according to the promotional flyer, but he did not appear on the show.Mincey scores 27, UMass-Lowell knocks off UMass 96-83San Diego Authorities Seek Public's Help to Identify Suspects in Mina Lounge Arson CaseLetter to the Editor: The greatest fear is fear itself
Stock Funds Rallied 7.5% in NovemberEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release on Friday by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. "Daniel came to see me this morning and asked if we would release him," Giants president John Mara said in a statement. "We mutually agreed that would be best for him and for the team. Daniel has been a great representative of our organization, first class in every way." Mara added he was "disappointed" at the quick dissolution of the team's relationship with Jones, who signed a four-year $160 million contract in March 2023 after leading the Giants to a playoff berth. "We hold Daniel in high regard and have a great appreciation for him," Mara continued. "We wish him nothing but the best in the future." The 27-year-old Jones told reporters Thursday that he gave the team everything he had after being taken sixth overall in the 2019 draft and he believes he still has a future in the NFL. He held himself accountable for the Giants (2-8) making the postseason once in his tenure as the starter. The Duke product took over early in his rookie season when then-coach Pat Shurmur benched two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, who was near the end of his career. Coach Brian Daboll benched Jones on Monday after the Giants returned to practice following a bye week and a 20-17 overtime loss to Carolina in Germany. Tommy DeVito will start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Daboll hoping he can spark the team. CLEVELAND — An incompletion and the final whistle ended Thursday night's snow-covered game between the Steelers and Browns. The bad blood is still boiling. Pittsburgh wide receiver George Pickens had to be restrained from going after Cleveland cornerback Greg Newsome III after dragging him out of the back of the end zone on the last play by pulling hm by the helmet. TV cameras caught Pickens being held back from going after Newsome, who didn't hold back any words after the game. “He’s a fake tough guy,” Newsome said. “He does a lot of that. The antics and stuff. Yeah, he didn’t even go up for the ball. He was just trying to do WrestleMania with me the whole time. So that’s what happened at the end.” The Los Angeles Chargers have played their way into another prime time appearance. Justin Herbert and company have had their Week 16 home game against the Denver Broncos flexed from Sunday, Dec. 22, to Thursday night, Dec. 19. Friday's announcement makes this the first time a game has been flexed to the Thursday night spot. The league amended its policy last season where Thursday night games in Weeks 13 through 17 could be flexed with at least 28 days notice prior to the game, and teams could make more than one appearance on Amazon Prime Video's 16-game package. Only two games per season in the five-week window can be flexed. The matchup of AFC West division rivals — who are both contending for playoff spots — bumps the game between the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals to Sunday afternoon. NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans will place cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on injured reserve after five missed games with a quadriceps injury. The move will become official on Saturday, according to coach Brian Callahan, and will keep Sneed out at least four more weeks. Sneed has not played since being diagnosed with a bruised quad against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 13. The injury was initially diagnosed as a bruise, and the Titans had hoped Sneed would not miss any time. Two weeks ago, the Titans revealed that the team had also discovered that the quadriceps was strained and would need more time to heal through rest. “As I said before, it turned out that he had a quad bruise, a pretty significant quad bruise, but it didn’t get better very fast,” Callahan said. “It turns out after we did some scans on it, he had a pretty significant strain on top of it. Those things are generally a couple of weeks. I felt like we had a chance to get him back, but he has not progressed. It has been more complicated than normal.” BRIEFLY KELCE: Jason Kelce will try his hand at late-night television early next year.

Ahead of the Big Ten Title game between Oregon and Penn State, hot dog-eating legend Joey Chestnut set a world record by consuming 21 pounds of shrimp. The famous shrimp cocktail from St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis was served at the event. Known for its legendary heat in the signature sauce, it's considered an achievement just to finish a single serving, according to Saturday Down South's Paul Harvey . The competitors and Chestnut took it to a whole other level. Before Saturday's competition, Chestnut's shrimp cocktail record was 18 pounds eaten in 18 minutes. "Last year I was being lazy, I only did 15 pounds, I got beat," Chestnut said on the Bob and Tom Show on Friday. "I'm felling good today, or hopefully, I will be ready tomorrow." The 41-year-old kicked off his notable career in 2007 at Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest , where he defeated Takeru Kobayashi to bring the "Mustard Yellow Belt" back to the United States. That victory kicked off an eight-year title streak, during which he went undefeated until 2014, before regaining the title in 2016. He holds the world record for most hot dogs eaten, devouring 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. The 16-time champion was banned from Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in 2024 for his sponsorship with Impossible Foods. He also holds 55 world records across 55 different foods, including pulled pork sandwiches, Taco Bell tacos, meat pies and asparagus, to name a few.Smith scores 23 in Furman's 69-63 win against Princeton

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — Voting closed Saturday evening in most polling centers throughout Ghana, bringing to an end the presidential and legislative elections poised to be a litmus test for democracy in a region shaken by extremist violence and coups . The capital, Accra, was almost a ghost town for much of the day. Even vibrant Oxford Street, one of the city's commercial hubs, saw little activity on the day that Ghanaians went to the polls to elect a new president and 276 legislators. Some 18.7 million people are registered to vote in the West African country hit by one of the worst economic crises in a generation. However, the two main candidates offer little hope for change for the nation. Early results were expected late on Saturday. The first official results will be released by Tuesday. Ghana used to be a poster child for democracy in the region. At a time when coups threatened democracy in West Africa, Ghana emerged as a beacon of democratic stability with a history of peaceful elections. It had also been an economic powerhouse, priding itself on its development. But in recent years, it has struggled with a profound economic crisis, including surging inflation and a lack of jobs. According to an opinion poll released earlier this year by Afrobarometer, a research group, 82% of Ghanaians feel their country is headed in the wrong direction Although 12 candidates are running for president, Saturday’s election — like others since the return of multiparty politics in 1992 — has emerged as a two-horse race. Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia is the candidate of the ruling New Patriotic Party, or NPP, which has struggled to resolve the economic crisis. He faces off against former President John Dramani Mahama, the leader of the main opposition party National Democratic Congress, or NDC. He was voted out in 2016 after failing to deliver on promises for the economy. Opinion polls point to a potential comeback for Mahama. A local research company, Global InfoAnalytics says he is projected to get 52.2% of the vote, followed by Bawumia, with 41.4%. After voting in the town of Bole in northern Ghana, Mahama praised the smooth election process and expressed confidence in his own victory. “In other elections, it had not been clear," he told reporters. “But (during) this election everyone sees where it is heading.” Bawumia, who voted in his Walewale constituency, also in northern Ghana, also said he believed he had won. “By the grace of God, I’m very hopeful of winning this election," he said. “I think that we have done a lot of work. We have put our message to the people; I think the message has been well received.” The NDC prides itself as a social democratic party, while the ruling NPP tags itself as leaning to the right. But in fact, analysts and voters said, the programs of their presidential candidates do not differ in a significant way. Members of parliament will also be elected Saturday. The ruling NPP party and the main opposition NDC each have 137 members in the 275-member legislature, with one independent member who has been voting mostly along with the ruling party. One more constituency will be added in this election, bringing the number of deputies to 276. In their final campaign rallies Thursday, both candidates made a last push to pitch their political parties as the answer to Ghana’s economic woes. Bawumia, 61, an Oxford-educated economist and former deputy governor of the country’s central bank, promised to build on the outgoing administration’s efforts and stabilize the economy. Mahama, 65, on the other hand, restated his promise to “reset” the country on various fronts. “We need to reset our democracy, governance, economy, finances, agriculture, infrastructure, environment, health sector, and all that we hold dear as a people,” the former president said. Across the the capital, Accra, the mood for the election has been upbeat in posters and billboards with bikers displaying stunts, political rallies on the streets, election jingles and songs blasting from public speakers. But the concern for many is also palpable for the key thing at stake: The country’s ailing economy, which has been challenged on various fronts in recent years. The country defaulted on most of its foreign debt last year as it faced a worsening economic crisis that spiked the price of fuel, food and other essential items. The inflation rate had hit 54% by the end of last year and though it’s been coming down since then, not many Ghanaians can still tell the difference when they go to the market. Ebenezer Kotey Dsane, a 69-year-old driver said he voted for Mahama because “he is a good man” who “set up much infrastructure when he was in office.” “The current regime hasn't done much,” he said, pointing to the La General Hospital in Accra, one of the capital's main medical facilities, pulled down in July 2020 by the current government with a pledge to reconstruct it. “Until today, nothing has happened.” Some chose not to vote at all. Ruth Mensah, 42, an unemployed resident of Nima, a working-class suburb in Accra, said she decided not to cast a ballot. “I don’t see how voting will bring about a change to my life,” she said. Patricia Seyram Hagbevor, 20, a first-time voter and student at Accra Technical University said she wished for a change. She didn't disclose whom she voted for, but said she “hoped for a change for the better that will help develop our future.” The chronic challenge of illegal gold mining — known locally as galamsey — has also been a major issue in the campaign and a source of concern for voters, triggering protests and criticism against the outgoing government. Ghana is Africa’s top gold producer and the world’s sixth largest, but the commodity has been increasingly mined illegally as people become more desperate to find jobs in an economy that has been crumbling. The mining has polluted rivers and other parts of the environment despite government actions to clamp down on the practice. Pronczuk reported from Dakar, Senegal.
