PHOENIX — President-elect Donald Trump dismissed any suggestion that he’s being usurped by his high-profile billionaire ally Elon Musk, coming off a week in which Musk helped derail an emergency spending measure to avert a government shutdown.Trump said the notion that he has “ceded the presidency” to Musk is a fiction and that even if Musk wanted the job, he couldn’t get it because of the Constitution’s requirement that the U.S. president be a natural-born citizen. Musk was born in South Africa.“No, he’s not going to be president, that I can tell you,” Trump said. “And I’m safe. You know…

MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday (Dec 22) vowed to bring more “destruction” to Ukraine in retaliation for a drone attack on the central Russian city of Kazan a day earlier. Russia accused Ukraine of a “massive” drone attack that hit a luxury apartment block in the city, some 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from the frontier. Videos on Russian social media networks showed drones hitting a high-rise glass building and setting off fireballs, though there were no reported casualties as a result of the strike. “Whoever, and however much they try to destroy, they will face many times more destruction themselves and will regret what they are trying to do in our country,” Putin said during a televised government meeting on Sunday.

The bartender says: “We don’t serve time travellers in here.” A time traveller walks into a bar. OK, yes, I will almost certainly regret starting this article with such a hoary old joke. At some point, most of us have wished we could travel back in time to repair some misstep or faux pas. But it’s impossible, right? Well, not necessarily. Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity suggests that time travel may indeed be possible. We know that matter can bend space-time, and if you bend it enough, you may be able to create a time loop. Caveats abound, of…
