Resumen Completo

Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Punto Clave

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

Resumen Completo

Cement prices have climbed above ₦11,000 per bag in many markets, reaching ₦13,000 in some spots, while the naira strengthened to ₦1,320-1,355 per dollar. Producers like Dangote cite high diesel costs for generators, imported fuel duties, inflation, and demand from road projects as reasons, with ex-factory prices at ₦10,500. Online frustration blames profiteering by producers, wholesalers, or traders, amid Nigeria's housing shortage where blocks now exceed ₦800 each. No new response from manufacturers as the debate continues.

Punto Clave

Nigerians wonder why cement bags cost more now that the naira buys more dollars. One post captured the confusion: prices jumped from ₦10,500 to ₦13,000 even as exchange rates improved.

Gazetted on February 16, 2026, the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill extends parliamentary and presidential terms from five to seven years, delaying the next election to 2030 and shifting the presidential pick to parliamentarians needing a majority vote.

A 90-day public consultation now runs until mid-May, amid planned protests, petitions for a referendum, and potential court fights.

Resumen Completo

Bukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal.
