Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Trump campaign asks for portion of fundraising from candidates who use his name or image

thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4602450-trump-campaign-fundraising-candidates-2024-november/

Quick Glance: Trump campaign seeks share of candidates' donations

The Trump campaign asks Republican candidates using his name and image in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.

The purpose of the 5 percent request is to prevent 'scammers' from misusing Trump's brand and affecting his fundraising efforts.

Trump is struggling to catch up to Biden's fundraising and aims to boost his campaign account with the help of donors.

The campaign warns of consequences for vendors and requests compliance with guidelines to avoid suspension of business relationships.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin 'Halving' Completed, CoinGecko Reports

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, completed its 'halving' on Friday, a phenomenon that occurs roughly every four years according to CoinGecko.

Following the 'halving', Bitcoin remained relatively stable, dropping by 0.47% to $63,747.

The 'halving' was integrated into Bitcoin's code at its inception to reduce the rate of new Bitcoins being created.

Experts are divided on whether the upcoming 'halving' will boost Bitcoin's price, with some viewing it as already factored in, while others remain skeptical.

Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.

Outspoken rock legend Courtney Love criticized Lana Del Rey, Madonna, and Taylor Swift in a new interview, stating that the latter is 'not important.'

Love expressed negative views on Taylor Swift, calling her 'not important' and uninteresting as an artist, despite potentially being a safe space for girls.

She also mentioned her ongoing feud with Madonna, dating back to their awkward encounter on MTV in 1995.

Furthermore, Love harshly criticized Lana Del Rey, suggesting she delay the release of her upcoming album 'Lasso' until 2031 due to perceived overexposure.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.
