HONOLULU (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama are trading competing claims about who would have won the presidential election had it been a contest between the two of them.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump is turning his Twitter attacks toward the United Nations following its Friday vote to condemn Israeli settlements. Trump today tweeted that the U.N. is "just a club for people" to "have a good time."

He tweeted after the vote that "things will be different" come Jan. 20.
CHICAGO (AP) — Travel warnings are being eased for large swaths of North Dakota as the last of a blizzard moves through the northern Plains. The Dakotas have been getting walloped by a combination of freezing rain, snow and high winds since yesterday morning. Long stretches of highways have been forced closed.

NORTHAMPTON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania cancer patient who won a raffle for a year's worth of free pizzas has donated his prize to a food bank. Thirty-six-year-old Josh Katrick, who's undergoing treatment for colon cancer, says he's been getting so much from his family and friends that he wanted to give back to those who could use the pizza more. When the pizza parlor learned he'd be donating the pies, it doubled down and offered the food bank an additional round of free pizza.
