Trending: Fragile Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire likely to hold, analysts say: Miriam Kourani removes a toy car from the rubble of her destroyed house after returning with her family to the Hanouiyeh village in Southern Lebanon. A  fragile ceasefire  between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has held up for over a month, even as its terms seem unlikely to be met by the agreed-upon deadline.  The deal struck on Nov. 27 to halt the war required  Hezbollah  to immediately lay down its arms in southern Lebanon and gave Israel 60 days to withdraw its forces there and hand over control to the Lebanese army and U.N. peacekeepers.  So far, Israel has only withdrawn from two of the many towns it controls in southern Lebanon. It has continued striking what it claims are Hezbollah bases, accusing the group of attempting to launch rockets and move weapons before they can be seized and destroyed.  Hezbollah, which was severely diminished during nearly 14...

Just In:  Supreme Court allows investors’ class action to proceed against microchip company Nvidia WASHINGTON (AP) — The  Supreme Court  is allowing a class-action lawsuit that accuses  Nvidia  of misleading investors about its past dependence on selling computer chips for mining volatile cryptocurrency. On Wednesday, The US Supreme Court circumvented a decision on whether to allow  shareholders to proceed with a securities fraud lawsuit accusing artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia of misleading investors about how much of its sales depended on the volatile cryptocurrency market. Nvidia had argued that the investors’ lawsuit should be thrown out because it does not measure up to a 1995 law, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, intended to bar frivolous complaints. A district court judge had dismissed the complaint before the federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that it could go forward. The Biden administration backed the investors at ...

A New Orleans driver had an ISIS flag and weapons in his vehicle.     Officials said they did not believe the suspect who rammed into New Year’s revelers was “solely responsible” for the attack, which killed at least 10 people, and were hunting for possible connections to terrorist organizations.   More than 30 people were injured in the attack around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday turned festive Bourbon Street into macabre mayhem and led to a one-day postponement of a college football playoff game that drew tens of thousands of fans to the city. The FBI identified the driver as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from Texas, and said it is working to determine Jabbar’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.  The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism and said it does not believe the driver acted alone. An Islamic State group flag was found on the vehicle’s trailer hitch, the FBI said.  "We do not beli...

The Speculations has begun: Vice President Kamala Harris will leave office in January at 60 years old, with an uncertain political future but plenty of options. In 74 days, Vice President Kamala Harris will leave office, with no concrete plans about what to do next or how to proceed as a private citizen for the first time since she was elected San Francisco’s district attorney in 2003.  Like the defeated presidential nominees who came before her, Ms. Harris is experiencing incredible political whiplash. On Tuesday morning, she was the leader of the Democratic Party and widely seen as its future. By Thursday, officials were privately saying they expected her to remain engaged but assumed the party would want to move on from the Biden era as soon as possible. “I believe that she is more respected than ever within our party,” said Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis of California, a longtime Harris ally. “I think the question really is, what does she want to do? Right now I’m sure she is simply...
