Agenda posted November 22, 2022

The Supreme Court has still yet to rule on the legality of President Trump's global tariffs. The justices heard the case in early November and released opinions this morning without a ruling on tariffs. The court's decision could have massive implications for American consumers and businesses, the economy and presidential authority.        President Trump will travel to Switzerland today for the World Economic Forum in Davos. On his agenda is his Gaza Board of Peace, a board set up to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire where Trump holds the only veto. He also arrives as he's been ratcheting up talk over putting Greenland under U.S. control.        Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says over ten-thousand arrests have been made in Minneapolis as the Trump administration continues to crackdown on immigration. Noem took to X Monday to say over ten-thousand arrests were made of what she called "criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis." The Pentagon is awaiting potential orders to send about 15-hundred troops to Minnesota.        An Indiana judge and his wife are recovering after someone shot them in their home on Sunday afternoon. Superior Court Judge Steven Meyer [[ My-er ]] and his wife, Kimberly, reportedly went to answer the door at their Lafayette home after someone knocked and said they had the couple's dog before opening fire. The shooter is still on the loose and the FBI has now joined the investigation.        A new study shows staying single may not be as good for your health compared to being in a committed romantic relationship. A research team at the University of Zurich looked at 17-thousand teens and young adults in Germany and the United Kingdom. Their study shows those who remain single for a long period of time experience an increasing feeling of loneliness and a greater decline in life satisfaction.        A first-time National Champion has been crowned. The Hoosiers took down the Hurricanes 27-21 in the College Football Playoff title game from Miami. Fernando Mendoza dove for a key rushing touchdown to make it a two-score game in the fourth quarter.
