Trevor Noah Roasts Nicki Minaj at Grammys for Going MAGA: ‘She’s Still at the White House With Donald Trump’

Although Trevor Noah usually keeps his Grammy hosting duties free of political discussion, he used his enthusiastic opening monologue to poke fun at Nicki Minaj’s recent turn to fawning over Donald Trump. After lightly joking with scores of superstars in the audience, Noah pointed out that the A-list rapper wasn’t at the award show.

“Nicki Minaj is not here,” he said. “She’s still at the White House with Donald Trump, discussing very important issues. ‘Actually Nicki, I have the biggest ass! Everybody’s saying it. I know they say it’s you, but it’s me. WAP, WAP, WAP. Look at it, baby.’”

Minaj has caused debate among her fanbase recently by her very visible support of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

Last year, Noah’s monologue was subdued, given the recency of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, but he did take aim at the Trump administration’s tariffs.

The Feb. 1 ceremony marks the sixth time that Noah has hosted the Grammys. This is set to be his final time as well, which the show’s executive producer, Ben Winston of Fulwell Entertainment, revealed in January.

“I am beyond thrilled to welcome Trevor Noah back to host the Grammys for his sixth, and sadly, final time,” Winston said. “He’s been the most phenomenal host of the show. He’s so smart, so funny, and such a true fan of the artists and music. His impact on the show has been truly spectacular, and we can’t wait to do it together one last time.”

Meanwhile, criticism of ICE raids has grown even louder in recent weeks, especially following the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti. Several Hollywood figures have spoken out against the killing, including Whoopi Goldberg on “The View,” Sundance attendees during a Park City protest, and actors with films at the Sundance Film Festival.

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are taking place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Kendrick Lamar leads the night with the most nominations, totaling nine, including record of the year, song of the year, and album of the year.

Manufacturing federation calls for financing inclusivity for MSMEs

Federation of Malaysian Manufacturing (FMM) president Jacob Lee highlighted the importance of this initiative for a key segment of Malaysia’s manufacturing and entrepreneurial base.

“As the voice of the manufacturing sector, FMM not only advocates for the industry but also supports financing initiatives that enable manufacturers to scale up and move forward,” he said.

YOU make the difference in the annual Catholic Appeal

“This annual effort puts faith into action by supporting all the parishes, schools, and communities across our state and beyond,” he wrote.

Jacqueline LaPan Edgerton is the executive director of the Catholic Community Foundation of South Carolina and the acting head of the Office of Stewardship and Mission Advancement, which spearheads the appeal. She explained that CASC “provides financial support for ministry and outreach support programs throughout the state.”

Bishop Fabre emphasized the importance of Scripture in his pastoral letter: “We cannot know who Jesus Christ is, or follow his way, or discern his will if we are not well-versed in the Scriptures that contain the prophecies and promises of his arrival. Our parishes should be vibrant places where the Word of God is regularly read and studied.”

Knowledge of God and His creations lies at the root of Catholic beliefs. To know, love, and serve Jesus is paramount to fostering a holy and productive relationship with our brothers and sisters. In giving of ourselves, we come to know the God who came to save us.

We are further encouraged to invite others, including friends and family, to join in and share our faith through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) and help them prepare for reception into the Catholic faith.

Retreats, speaking events, and other diocesan programs further encourage learning and living the Gospel. Alongside CASC giving, these initiatives support programs and ministries that advance the faith through good works.

All of these efforts are encapsulated within the three overarching projects of the appeal:

– **Givers of His Love**
– **Teachers of His Children**
– **Servants of His People**

The goal for CASC this year has been raised to $5.5 million, a 10% increase over previous years. Several factors have led to this increase, including the growth of parish communities, more seminarians under formation, and the continued expansion of diocesan ministries and programs.

The diocese comprises about 250,000 Catholics in nearly 100,000 households. It is served by 113 diocesan, 46 religious, and 22 missionary priests across 96 parishes and 20 missions.

Additionally, there are 32 diocesan schools, 16 campus ministries, and 85 youth ministry programs statewide, plus eight offices for Catholic Charities of South Carolina, which run a variety of vital programs.

The Diocese of Charleston is unique in that it encompasses an entire state.

“As we continue to welcome so many new seminarians, open the doors of Catholic education to more families, and expand our ministerial outreach across the state, the need for your support has never been greater,” the bishop wrote.

Shaileen Riginos, Associate Superintendent for the Office of Catholic Schools, expressed gratitude for the support received through CASC.

“The Catholic Appeal of S.C. has a profound impact on Catholic education throughout our diocese, strengthening our ability to form young disciples of Christ,” Riginos said. “Through tuition assistance, the appeal enables Catholic families to provide their children with a faith-centered education rooted in Gospel values.

“Additionally, the appeal empowers our schools to address critical needs—from science labs and facility upgrades to curriculum resources and technology—allowing each school to fulfill its strategic mission in service to its unique community.”

By answering Christ’s call to carry forth His mission and be good stewards, supporters of the Catholic Appeal of South Carolina are lighting the way for our Church to remain ever-present across the Palmetto State.

As we read in Ephesians 2:10,
“For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them.”

“I am overjoyed with the success of last year’s Catholic Appeal of South Carolina, and I am encouraged to see that so many families are on fire with zeal for the Catholic faith,” Bishop Fabre shared. “Our diocese is experiencing exponential growth in vocations, Catholic schools, and our visible presence in society. Please join together to continue what the great saints have dedicated their lives to building. God bless you, and thank you for your participation in this year’s appeal.”

Every gift makes a difference. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of others and in our Church family.

Sydney Sweeney on “MAGA Barbie” Nickname: “I’ve Never Been Here to Talk About Politics”

Sydney Sweeney Believes in Separation of Arts and Politics

Appearing on the cover of Cosmopolitan, the *Euphoria* actress Sydney Sweeney addressed being at the “center of a lot of culture war conversations,” likely referencing her viral American Eagle jeans ad that sparked widespread backlash.

When asked about being labeled “MAGA Barbie” and her hesitancy to speak about her personal politics, Sweeney reaffirmed that politics is not a topic she wants to discuss publicly.

“I’ve never been here to talk about politics. I’ve always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of,” Sweeney said. “And I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn. But it’s somebody else assigning something to me, and I can’t control that.”

On why she doesn’t clarify or correct speculation about her political views, the *Christy* star explained, “I haven’t figured it out. I’m not a hateful person. If I say, ‘That’s not true,’ they’ll come at me like, ‘You’re just saying that to look better.’ There’s no winning. There’s never any winning. I just have to continue being who I am, because I know who I am. I can’t make everyone love me. I know what I stand for.”

Sweeney also noted that she doesn’t see herself confirming her political beliefs in the future.

“No,” she said when asked. “I’m not a political person. I’m in the arts. I’m not here to speak on politics. That’s not an area I’ve ever even imagined getting into. It’s not why I became who I am. I became an actor because I like to tell stories, but I don’t believe in hate in any form. I believe we should all love each other and have respect and understanding for one another.”

The American Eagle Campaign Controversy

Sweeney’s July 2025 American Eagle campaign stirred controversy, especially a segment where she says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

Some critics argued that the campaign’s tagline, “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” was a play on the term “great jeans” versus “great genes,” suggesting it promoted eugenics. The backlash was so significant that American Eagle issued a statement clarifying,

“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.”

Sweeney previously addressed the controversy in a November interview with *GQ*, saying, “I did a jean ad. I mean, the reaction definitely was a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.”

She described it as “surreal” to see the president and vice president speak about the ad.

“I knew at the end of the day what that ad was for, and it was great jeans, it didn’t affect me one way or the other,” she told *GQ*. “I’ve always believed that I’m not here to tell people what to think. When I have an issue that I want to speak about, people will hear.”

Why do I like religion?

Some might ask, “Why do I even need religion? I am a spiritual person and I can go it alone with God and onto eternity without a formal religion, without a community of other spiritual souls.”

However, even the most heroic soldier cannot win a war without an army (unless you’re King David). Similarly, the most saintly person cannot win the war of salvation without the companionship of fellow religious. The song is “Onward Christian Soldiers,” not “soldier.” But let’s not rush the answer; let’s build it.

### Why Do We Like Worldly Things?

I submit that most of us like worldly things at which we succeed—be it making money, playing certain games, reading, singing, our profession, or a hobby. Many years ago, two psychologists, Osipow and Schied, conducted a study in which they rigged the results so that subjects in the experiment succeeded at things they initially did not prefer.

What do you think the subjects did afterward? They changed their preferences to things at which they succeeded.

### Why Do We Like Life?

Perhaps the same reasoning can be applied to life. We like life to the extent that we succeed at it—know how to play the game, how to navigate, and succeed in our society and culture.

For many of us, we learn how to play the game of life better as we grow older, and we subsequently like and enjoy life all the more. Sadly, those who never “figure out” life run the risk of living their final days less satisfied and evaluating life less favorably in the end.

### Why Do I Like Religion?

Even with religion, the more successful you are, the more likely you might be to say you like religion. You might feel successful and, therefore, inclined to like religion all the more—whether you understand your religion better, as in a more cognitive religion like Catholicism; whether you feel your religion more emotionally, as an evangelical; or whether you behave your religion more fervently, like Mormon missionaries or Jehovah’s Witnesses walking door to door.

For Christianity, it comes down to welcoming, if not necessarily liking, death. If you believe death has been defeated by the resurrection of Jesus, then why wouldn’t you like the idea of moving on to the more wonderful life Jesus has promised in eternity?

Who wouldn’t be happy that their religion allows them not to worry about death anymore? Our faith brings us the belief that death is not the end. Our bodies will be glorified in the same way Jesus’ resurrected body was.

We won’t have our imperfect earthly forms that are limited by the circumstances dealt at birth or through life circumstances. Rather, we will have the perfected versions of our earthly bodies.

### How Can I Be Assured of Eternal Life?

The answer is because Jesus said he is “the way, the truth, and the life.” He taught “that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life” (John 3:16).

As devout Catholics, we believe and follow the things Jesus said. So why would we not believe this proclamation of utmost importance, one that says that we are not going to be gone forever and blink out of existence?

In his book *The Courage to Be*, Paul Tillich suggests that the fear of death is the basis for all other fears. But now, we don’t have to worry about death anymore, because “Jesus said so!”

One conclusion might be to cling less to this life. We should embrace death as the doorway to an eternity that we will enjoy much more than this present existence.

Let’s practice our religion—this beautiful gift of universal faith—fervently as the path to that doorway.

And that is why I like religion: I like having a pathway to eternal life with Christ Jesus.

LAPD won’t enforce ban on federal law enforcement officers wearing masks, chief says

Los Angeles police do not plan to enforce recently enacted state and local bans that prohibit federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks during enforcement operations, the police chief said at a news conference Thursday.

Chief Jim McDonnell, when asked about the mask ban—which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law in September and which separately won approval by Los Angeles County supervisors—said he disagreed with the policy. He cited the possibility of conflict between police and other agencies if such a ban were to be enforced.

“The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best or an infraction, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a good public policy decision and it wasn’t well thought out in my opinion,” McDonnell said.

“You look across the country, you see the things that are happening. We are in line with our federal partners on everything except immigration enforcement. What we’ve seen since June here in Los Angeles and seen across the country, we’re as frustrated as everybody else about the way that’s being done,” he added.

McDonnell expressed hope for “some reconciliation as far as re-approaching strategy and tactics that are being deployed to get a better outcome overall.”

“We look at 50 years of developing relationships with our immigrant communities. That is critically important to us and to have that threatened in any way is something that’s sad to see, and we certainly will work hard to rebuild those relationships,” McDonnell said.

—

The sweeping ban on face coverings for most law enforcement officials was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September. Known as SB 627 or the No Secret Police Act, the law was introduced following waves of immigration raids across California.

The law makes exceptions for SWAT teams, undercover operations, and medically or situationally necessary face coverings. Although the law went into effect on January 1, it is not being enforced after the Department of Justice mounted a challenge to its constitutionality. The DOJ argues that the ban creates risks for agents, including doxing and harassment.

A similar ordinance was approved in December by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. This ordinance affects law enforcement who operate in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department—the agency that patrols unincorporated Los Angeles County—said that federal law prevents the department from enforcing the ban.

“Federal law governs civil immigration matters, and under the U.S. Constitution, federal authority supersedes state and local laws. As a local law enforcement entity, we do not create federal policy, but we are required to operate within the legal framework it establishes,” the department said in a statement.

“Current federal law will not allow us to enforce the proposed ordinance on federal agents. Should the courts decide differently, we will adjust accordingly,” the statement added.

Rally May Stall For China Stock Market

The China stock market has finished higher in three straight sessions, gaining nearly 60 points, or 1.8 percent, along the way. The Shanghai Composite now sits just above the 3,460-point plateau, although it may run out of steam on Friday.

The global outlook for Asian markets appears soft, with oil and technology shares likely to lead the decline. European markets were mixed and flat, while U.S. bourses ended lower. As a result, Asian markets are expected to show a balanced performance, splitting the difference.

On Thursday, the Shanghai Composite Index (SCI) finished modestly higher, buoyed by gains in financial shares and property stocks. Resource companies showed mixed results. The index gained 29.01 points, or 0.85 percent, closing at 3,461.50 after trading between 3,425.98 and 3,464.12. Meanwhile, the Shenzhen Composite Index rose 21.98 points, or 1.05 percent, to close at 2,112.90.

Among the active stocks, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China jumped 1.74 percent, Bank of China improved 1.36 percent, and China Construction Bank strengthened 1.22 percent. China Merchants Bank gained 1.31 percent, Agricultural Bank of China rose 1.21 percent, and China Life Insurance surged 2.06 percent.

In the resources sector, Jiangxi Copper advanced 0.83 percent, while Aluminum Corp of China (Chalco) lost 0.38 percent. Yankuang Energy fell 0.33 percent. China Petroleum and Chemical (Sinopec) rose 0.31 percent, Huaneng Power edged up 0.28 percent, and China Shenhua Energy declined 0.62 percent.

Property stocks also saw gains, with Gemdale rallying 1.28 percent, Poly Developments gaining 0.49 percent, and China Vanke adding 0.46 percent. PetroChina remained unchanged.

Wall Street provided a negative lead as major averages opened mixed on Thursday but quickly dropped, ending the day near session lows. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 234.44 points, or 0.64 percent, to close at 43,914.12. The NASDAQ lost 132.05 points, or 0.66 percent, finishing at 19,769.84, while the S&P 500 declined 32.94 points, or 0.54 percent, to end at 6,051.25.

The weakness on Wall Street followed profit-taking after a strong performance on Wednesday, when the tech-heavy NASDAQ closed above 20,000 for the first time ever. Negative sentiment also arose from a Labor Department report showing that U.S. producer prices increased more than expected in November.

While the Federal Reserve is still widely expected to lower interest rates next week, the recent data has raised concerns about the pace of rate cuts early next year.

In energy markets, oil futures closed lower Thursday after three days of gains. This followed the International Energy Agency’s forecast of excess oil supply next year. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures for January delivery fell $0.27, or 0.4 percent, to $70.02 a barrel.

Internan en psiquiátrico a mujer que mató a su madre y fue vista horas antes con cuchillo en Santa Rosa

Un juez ha ordenado que una mujer de San Rafael que mató a su madre sea internada indefinidamente en un hospital psiquiátrico estatal.

El mes pasado, un jurado la declaró no culpable por razón de demencia. Tras el veredicto, el juez Geoffrey Howard anunció que tenía previsto que la acusada fuera internada en un hospital psiquiátrico estatal, emitiendo su orden el miércoles.

“Esperamos que reciba el tratamiento de salud mental que debió haber recibido hace mucho tiempo”, declaró el abogado de Beltran, Jon Rankin.

El homicidio ocurrió en 2024 en el apartamento de la víctima, ubicado en Cresta Way, en el norte de San Rafael. La policía encontró a Beltran con un cuchillo en la mano, de pie junto a su madre, quien se encontraba gravemente herida. La acusada había transmitido el ataque en directo por Facebook.

El periódico Press Democrat informó el 11 de enero de 2024 que, horas antes del ataque, se podía ver a Tonantzyn Beltran en un video de TikTok en el vestíbulo del Departamento de Policía de Santa Rosa, sosteniendo un cuchillo. Había sido arrestada la madrugada del día anterior por la policía de Santa Rosa tras una persecución vehicular.

La Fiscalía del Condado de Marin la acusó de asesinato. La familia de Beltran solicitó que se declarara su inimputabilidad por enfermedad mental.

Durante el juicio de Beltran, que duró cuatro semanas, la defensa presentó su largo historial de enfermedad mental, que incluía múltiples hospitalizaciones y diagnósticos de trastorno esquizoafectivo y trastorno de estrés postraumático. El jurado determinó que la enfermedad mental de Beltrán le impedía comprender que el ataque contra su madre era un acto incorrecto.

La víctima tenía 55 años y era una activista que colaboraba con organizaciones de Marin, como la Grassroots Leadership Network of Marin y el Canal Welcome Center.
