The Georgia Southern football team was once again in a great position entering last week’s home matchup with Troy. The Eagles were tied for first place in the Eastern division with Marshall, a team they beat earlier this season and controlled their own destiny in making it to the Sun Belt Championship. Three games remaining against teams with losing records in the conference were ahead, and if the Eagles were able to win out, they had a chance to even host the Sun Belt Championship. The Eagles have struggled in post-October football games with a 2-10 record and unfortunately that trend continued as they fell 28-20 to a Troy team that came in 2-7 overall and 1-4 in conference play. The Eagles only committed one turnover, which came late in the game, but really struggled on third down as the defense allowed Troy to go 11-14 and eat up valuable time off the clock, while the Eagles offense only managed to go three for eight on third down. “We really needed to be better on third down,” said coach Clay Helton. “I thought quarterback Matthew Caldwell did a nice job of getting the ball to his playmakers going 11 for 14 and keeping our offense off the field. They did the things that good ball-control offenses do. They didn’t turn the ball over and limited us to just eight drive possessions.” While message boards and social media lit up after the game with frustrated fans, Eagle starting defensive lineman Isaac Walker vented his frustration as well on Instagram. Helton announced Monday that Walker was no longer with the team and would not go into the reasons behind it. “I can confirm he is no longer on the football team,” Helton said. “We are very fortunate here unlike a lot of places that have a lot of attrition. We have 123 players, men who are pulling really hard in the same direction. They want to win a championship and are fighting like heck. Leadership is always tough, you aren’t going to make everyone happy and that’s the price of leadership.” Walker no longer being on the roster comes a week after quarterback Dexter Williams decided to leave the team and enter the transfer portal. Eagle players admit they are as frustrated with losing as the fans are and are trying their best to focus on the game ahead with Coastal Carolina and block the noise the best they can from outside the team. “The way the fans feel is the same way we feel,” said Eagle defensive back Chance Gamble. “We know we are expected to win here at Georgia Southern. I feel like there are plays I didn’t make on third down and I know I need to do a better job of locking in especially in those situations.” “It does hurt to hear negativity out there because we want them to love us like we love them,” said Eagle offensive lineman Bryson Broadway. “I love our fans, I love the interactions with the fans and this environment. This is unlike any other place and special. I think sometimes this brings us together and puts a chip on our shoulder and makes us want to work harder.” The Eagles are currently tied for second place in the East and with JMU and Marshall still yet to play have a good chance at winning the East but will have to win out which starts with a road game at Coastal Carolina Saturday in Conway S.C. The Chanticleers come in with a record of 5-5 overall and are 2-4 in Sun Belt play. Coastal is coming off a 38-24 loss to Marshall on the road and are averaging 30 points per game, but giving up over 31 points per contest. Ethan Vasko leads the Chanticleer offense and has thrown for 1,818 and 11 touchdowns. On the ground Vasko has accounted for 357 yards and four scores. Coastal’s leading rusher is Brayden Bennett with 546 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns. “You can see coach Tim Beck’s fingerprints on this team,” Helton said. “They have always been that spread-option team, but coach Beck is one of the most elite pro-style minds there are. They have kind of blended into that with tremendous balance. They are running the ball but also Vasko is distributing the ball to some electric playmakers. What really scared me is what they did to a really good running team in Marshall in holding them to only 35 yards that really jumped off the page as far as what they did defensively.” The Eagles and Chanticleers are scheduled for a 3:30 kickoff in a game that can seen on ESPN+None
By LOLITA BALDOR and FATIMA HUSSEIN WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has chosen Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated retired three-star general, to serve as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg, who is one of the architects of a staunchly conservative policy book that lays out an “America First” national security agenda for the incoming administration, will come into the role as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its third year in February. Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, and said “He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!” Kellogg, an 80 year-old retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues, served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence , was chief of staff of the National Security Council and then stepped in as an acting security adviser for Trump after Michael Flynn resigned. As special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Kellogg will have to navigate an increasingly untenable war between the two nations. The Biden administration has begun urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of troops as young as 18. The White House has pushed more than $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s February 2022 invasion and expects to send billions more to Kyiv before Biden leaves office in less than months. Trump has criticized the billions that the Biden administration has poured into Ukraine. Washington has recently stepped up weapons shipments and has forgiven billions in loans provided to Kyiv. The incoming Republican president has said he could end the war in 24 hours, comments that appear to suggest he would press Ukraine to surrender territory that Russia now occupies. As a co-chairman of the American First Policy Institute’s Center for American Security, Kellogg wrote several of the chapters in the group’s policy book. The book, like the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” is a move to lay out a Trump national security agenda and avoid the mistakes of 2016 when he entered the White House largely unprepared. Kellogg in April wrote that “bringing the Russia-Ukraine war to a close will require strong, America First leadership to deliver a peace deal and immediately end the hostilities between the two warring parties.” Trump’s proposed national security advisor U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) tweeted Wednesday that “Keith has dedicated his life to defending our great country and is committed to bringing the war in Ukraine to a peaceful resolution.” Kellogg was a character in multiple Trump investigations dating to his first term. He was among the administration officials who listened in on the July 2019 call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Trump prodded his Ukrainian counterpart to pursue investigations into the Bidens. The call, which Kellogg would later say did not raise any concerns on his end, was at the center of the first of two House impeachment cases against Trump, who was acquitted by the Senate both times. On Jan. 6, 2021, hours before pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Kellogg, who was then Pence’s national security adviser, listened in on a heated call in which Trump told his vice president to object or delay the certification in Congress of President Joe Biden ’s victory. He later told House investigators that he recalled Trump saying to Pence words to the effect of: “You’re not tough enough to make the call.” Baldor reported from Washington.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has said he is taking a “project truth” approach to calling out Sinn Fein’s spending pledges as fears over future economic threats took centre stage in the Irish General Election campaign. Election results on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean have set the background for the final stretch of campaigning for Irish parties ahead of polling day on Friday. Donald Trump’s presidential election victory in the US has brought heightened concern that his administration’s proposals around corporation tax and tariffs would significantly impact Ireland’s economic model. Mr Harris, leader of Fine Gael , has argued Ireland and other EU countries need to prepare for the possibility of trade shocks as he criticised the scale of Sinn Fein’s spending pledges as well as their saving plans. He said: “I think that is irresponsible, I think it is dangerous and I think it is reckless.” He accused Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald of not being able to say what her party was prepared to do in the event of an economic crash, adding that Fine Gael would borrow and stop putting money towards a rainy-day fund. Asked if the party was engaging in “project fear” to dissuade voters against Sinn Fein, Mr Harris said: “I call it ‘project truth’. It’s telling people what’s being discussed right across European capitals.” Ms McDonald told an RTE interview on Wednesday morning that a Sinn Fein government would also be prepared to start borrowing in the event of an economic downturn. Both Mr Harris and Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin , who were partners in the last coalition government in Ireland, have made clear they will not countenance Sinn Fein as a potential partner in the next administration in Dublin. One day after the only three-way debate featuring the leaders of the main parties, Mr Martin accused Sinn Fein of being “dishonest” about how they will fund their manifesto plans. Speaking in Dublin on Wednesday, he said he is anxious to get clarity on the issue. “I think Sinn Fein have been very dishonest, frankly, in terms of the funds, because if you go through their figures, and this is a matter of fact, not opinion, they’re predicting a surplus of a billion in 2026, a billion in 2027. “Even in 2025, they’re talking about a mini budget, which would mean reducing the surplus that we’re anticipating in 2025. “There’s a legislative obligation now on any new government to put 0.8% of GDP to one side, and into the funds. There’s no way you can do that with a surplus of a billion in 2026 or 2027, and we would argue they would not have enough funds next year either to put into the funds.” He added: “It means they have no room to manoeuvre if things go wrong, if there’s headwinds come externally, or there are shocks internationally, Sinn Fein is not allowing any headroom at all in terms of room to respond or to move it.” Ms McDonald accused the other two parties of conspiring to keep Sinn Fein out of government and prevent change in Ireland. She said the two men were now “indistinguishable” from each other as she claimed they were suffering “acute amnesia” in regard to their records in government. On a visit to Naas fire station in Co Kildare, she said: “To listen to them, you’d imagine they had just arrived on the scene and that they were going to come up with all of these solutions. “They have had ample chances, ample opportunity, to make things better, and they have failed, and in between the two of them I make the case that now we ask for our chance, with our plans, with our team, to demonstrate how change can happen, how your community, your family, yourself, can be supported when the government is actually on your side.” Mr Martin’s and Mr Harris’ coalition partner Roderic O’Gorman, the leader of the Greens , issued a warning to the public over a future government without his party. On Wednesday, he said it is looking likely that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael will be returned to government – but cautioned they may not want the Greens to continue “fighting hard” on policies. He told reporters: “My sense is certainly the mood music from Fianna Fail and Fine Gael is that they’d like an easier life in the next government – and my concern is they use these small populist parties and right-wing independents.” Mr O’Gorman argued that the Greens could continue to provide stability to government at a time when economic shocks may be around the corner. As the Green leader suggested that relying on independents would be unstable, Mr Martin has also argued that “too much fragmentation would lead to incoherence in government”. Reflecting on Tuesday night’s debate, the Fianna Fail leader said the race remained “too close to call” while Mr Harris said it is “all to play for”. The leaders of Ireland’s three main political parties clashed on housing, healthcare and financial management in the last televised debate before Friday’s General Election. The tetchy debate, which was marked by several interruptions, saw the parties set out their stalls in a broadcast that commentators said did little to move the dial before polling day. The latest opinion poll on Monday put the parties in a tight grouping, with Fianna Fail slightly ahead of Sinn Fein, and Fine Gael in a close third after a significant slide in a campaign marked with several hiccups for Mr Harris’s party. After the 2020 general election delivered an inconclusive result, Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, two parties forged from opposing sides of Ireland’s Civil War of the 1920s, agreed to set aside almost a century of animosity and share power – with the Greens as a junior partner. From 2016 to 2020, Fianna Fail had supported Fine Gael in power through a confidence-and-supply arrangement from the Opposition benches in the Dail parliament. Sinn Fein won the popular vote in 2020 but a failure to run enough candidates meant it did not secure sufficient seats in the Dail to give it a realistic chance of forming a government.Authored by Frank Fang via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued two more executive orders targeting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in his state , after announcing an initial order on Nov. 18 aimed at protecting local dissidents from the Chinese regime’s harassment. Abbott signed Executive Order No. GA-49 on Nov. 20 to safeguard critical infrastructure from cyberattacks and issued Executive Order No. GA-48 on Nov. 19 to protect Texans from the CCP’s espionage operations. Executive Order No. GA-49 directs the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Public Utility Commission of Texas to prepare for any potential cyberattacks aimed at the state’s critical infrastructure. Under Abbott’s order, the two agencies will create a task force to study potential vulnerabilities within government systems and critical infrastructure, run response simulations to cyberattacks, and put together a committee of state agencies to “simulate a restart of Texas’ electric grid in the event of a foreign attack,” according to a Wednesday statement. “ China has made it clear that they can—and will—target and attack America’s critical infrastructure ,” Abbott said in the statement. “Texas will continue to protect our critical infrastructure to ensure the safety of Texans from potential threats by the Chinese Communist Party or any hostile foreign government.” The order highlighted Volt Typhoon, one of China’s state-sponsored threat groups, and how it had targeted communications, energy, transportation, water, and wastewater systems in the United States and its territories. Volt Typhoon, which was dismantled by a multi-agency operation in January, had maintained “access and footholds within some victim IT environments for at least five years,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in February. The order also cited FBI Director Christopher Wray’s warnings at the Vanderbilt Summit in Nashville in April, when he said that China “has made it clear that it considers every sector that makes our society run as fair game in its bid to dominate on the world stage.” Executive Order No. GA-48 directs all state agencies and public institutions of higher education to “harden” their systems from potential infiltration by hostile nations, including more thorough background checks on state employees and contractors who can access critical infrastructure. Additionally, state agencies will be banned from contracting “companies owned or controlled by a foreign adversary government , and bidding companies must prove that “none of its holding companies or subsidiaries is owned by a foreign adversary government,” according to a Tuesday statement. Faculty members of higher education institutions are banned from taking part in “any foreign recruitment program by a foreign adversary nation,” such as China’s Thousand Talents Program, according to the statement. The Thousand Talents Program is one of many talent recruitment initiatives the Chinese regime has maintained for decades to attract overseas Chinese and foreign experts to work in China’s science and tech sectors. Through these programs, the CCP hopes to quickly turn China into an industrial and innovation powerhouse and ultimately outperform Western countries. The FBI warns on its website that Chinese talent programs pose threats to U.S. national security and usually involve “undisclosed and illegal transfers” of U.S. intellectual property to the Chinese side. “The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that the Chinese government has actively targeted local and state officials as part of their strategy to undermine the national security of the United States,” Abbott said in a statement. “Hardening our state government is critical to protect Texans from hostile foreign actors who may attempt to undermine the safety and security of Texas and the nation.” As an example of the CCP’s infiltration, Abbott’s order pointed to the recent indictment against Linda Sun, former deputy chief of staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. Sun was charged with spying for Beijing. Another name mentioned in the order is Christine Fang , a suspected Chinese intelligence agent who Abbott’s office said “developed deep connections” with California’s political figures and national politicians. On Monday, when Abbott announced Executive Order No. GA-47, the FBI’s field office in Houston took to the social media platform X to urge victims to come forward. “The government of the [People’s] Republic of China (PRC) may be cyberstalking, physically intimidating, and harassing Chinese citizens, naturalized U.S. citizens, and families of dissidents who speak [out] against the Chinese Communist Party in Texas,” the office wrote. Under Abbott’s order , the Texas Department of Public Safety will target and arrest any individual found to be engaging in CCP influence operations within the state. Washington-based advocacy group Campaign for Uyghurs took to X on Monday to applaud the governor’s decision, saying that CCP continues to carry out its “nefarious practice” of transnational repression in Texas. An example of Beijing’s transnational repression came to light in April last year, when two Chinese nationals were charged with allegedly establishing a secret police station in Manhattan in coordination with China’s Ministry of Public Security. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued a statement on Wednesday applauding Abbott’s leadership. “ Texas is leading the charge in combating the CCP with the help of Governor Abbott’s leadership ,” McCaul stated. “We cannot sit idly by while China attempts to infiltrate our country and harm U.S. national security. “These executive orders send a strong message of deterrence to the CCP: Don’t mess with Texas.”
Nevada Republican Assembly members elected Assemblyman Gregory Hafen II, R-Pahrump, to serve as the caucus leader for the 2025 legislative session, the caucus announced Friday. Hafen will replace former Minority Leader Assemblyman PK O’Neill as the leader of the Republican Assembly members. “As Caucus Leader, he is poised to guide Republican legislators in their efforts to promote responsible governance, to strengthen Nevada’s economy, and uphold the principles of liberty and opportunity for all,” the caucus wrote in its Friday statement. Hafen has served in the Assembly since 2018. He works as the general manager for Pahrump Utility Co., and he has experience as a planning commissioner, chairman of the Desert View Hospital Board and a member of the Nevada Taxpayer Association. “I am deeply honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me to serve as their leader,” Hafen said in a statement. “Together, we will work to address the challenges facing our state and advocate for policies that reflect the values of hardworking families across Nevada.”‘An existential battle’: how Trump’s win is shifting the US media landscape
AP Business SummaryBrief at 6:48 p.m. ESTRico Carty, who won the 1970 NL batting title when he hit a major league-best .366 for the Atlanta Braves, has died. He was 85. Major League Baseball , the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players' association said in its statement . The Braves said Carty left an indelible mark on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement. Carty made his big league debut with the Braves in September 1963. He batted .330 with 22 homers and 88 RBIs in his first full season in 1964, finishing second to Dick Allen in voting for NL Rookie of the Year. The Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta after the 1965 season, and Carty got the franchise's first hit in its new home on April 12, 1966, against Pittsburgh. Carty had his best year in 1970, batting .366 with 25 homers and a career-best 101 RBIs. He started the All-Star Game after he was elected as a write-in candidate, joining Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in the NL outfield. Carty batted .299 with 204 homers and 890 RBIs over 15 years in the majors, also playing for Cleveland, Toronto, Oakland, Texas and the Chicago Cubs. He retired after the 1979 season.

Instead, the France international and defending champion Madrid are in danger of being eliminated from European club soccer's elite tournament at the first stage after Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool leaves them in a fight just to make the playoffs for the next round. And if Madrid does make an early exit, Mbappe may look back on a miserable night at Anfield where he was humbled by a young defender and then missed a penalty that would have leveled the score. World Cup winner Mbappe looked a shadow of himself against a Liverpool team that leads the way in the Premier League and the Champions League this season. He was brought crashing down by a crunching tackle from 21-year-old right back Conor Bradley when threatening to burst through on goal in the first half — sparking a huge cheer from the home crowd. It got worse for Mbappe after the break when he had the chance to make it 1-1 from the penalty spot after Alexis Mac Allister had given six-time European champion Liverpool the lead. But with Caoimhin Kelleher to beat, he saw his effort pushed away by Liverpool's back-up goalkeeper. Mohamed Salah also missed a spot kick of his own, but substitute Cody Gakpo doubled the home team's advantage. Record 15-time European Cup winner Madrid is 24th in the new-look 36-team league phase of the Champions League. The top eight teams advance to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th go into a playoff. Victory saw new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot manage something his predecessor Jurgen Klopp never could by beating Real in the Champions League. His team extended its perfect record in the competition and is top of the standings after five games. Each team plays eight games in the opening phase. Madrid plays Atalanta next month and Liverpool faces Girona. James Robson is at https://twitter.com/jamesalanrobson AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
Aston Villa were controversially denied an injury-time winner in their UEFA Champions League league phase clash with Juventus at Villa Park. Unai Emery's men looked destined for another draw after failing to break down the Italian giants. However, in the dying seconds of injury-time, Youri Tielemans' free-kick found its way to Morgan Rodgers, who did the rest from close distance. However, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio stayed down inside the penalty box after seeming to collide with Diego Carlos in the air as the free-kick was floated in.

Unfortunately for Villa, the goal wasn't given and the visitors were awarded a free-kick in a hugely controversial decision. Replays show Carlos and Di Gregorio colliding inside the box with the contact enough to force the ball out of the goalkeeper's hands, in the opinion of the officials. After the game, Ollie Watkins admitted Villa would have been lucky to win the game if it had been given. "I think it's soft," he said. "Maybe in the Premier League that's a goal but I feel like in Europe, the goalkeepers are protected by the referees. It's one of them. "I thought we had scored but to be fair, it had a 0-0 game written all over. We would have been lucky if we had won it then."Mark Zuckerberg On Team Trump?

In a press release that described Trump Jr as “a globally recognized business leader” and “best-selling author”, Evans said he would “bring a wealth of experience”. Trump, typically referred to as Don Jr, has spent most of his adult life working for his father’s company, the Trump Organization, on real estate and branding. But he has risen to political prominence since his sister Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner , distanced themselves from Donald Trump following his defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election and incitement of the January 6 attack on Congress by Trump supporters who tried in vain to overturn his loss. This year, Trump Jr was widely held to have helped steer the Ohio senator, JD Vance , onto the Republican ticket which defeated the Democratic ticket of the vice-president, Kamala Harris and her running mate and Minnesota governor, Tim Walz . On Wednesday, Trump Jr said: “The need for drones is obvious. It is also obvious that we must stop buying Chinese drones and Chinese drone parts. I love what Unusual Machines is doing to bring drone manufacturing jobs back to the USA.” That was in line with statements from his father the president-elect, who has long said he will impose hefty tariffs on Chinese imports. Unusual Machines, however, says in its SEC filing it “has been heavily dependent on Chinese imports for our products and operations”. Referring to brands of drones and equipment, it said: “A substantial majority of Rotor Riot’s products are manufactured, directly and indirectly, using Chinese vendors. Fat Shark’s primary contract manufacturer is Shenzhen Fat Shark Technology Ltd ... which is located in Shenzhen, China.” Unusual Machines did not immediately comment further.
Jaylen Brown scores 29 points before Celtics beat Timberwolves 107-105 with late defensive standPublished 01:50 IST, November 28th 2024 India has proposed setting up a dedicated multilateral fund to support developing countries in tackling plastic pollution New Delhi: India has proposed the establishment of a dedicated multilateral fund to support developing countries in their efforts to tackle plastic pollution. This proposal, presented during the final round of negotiations for a legally binding international agreement on plastic pollution held in Busan, South Korea, seeks to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. The proposed fund, modelled after the highly successful multilateral fund established under the Montreal Protocol—an international treaty that successfully tackled ozone depletion—aims to provide financial and technical support to developing nations. India has called for developed countries to contribute to this fund, emphasising the need for these nations to assist in the transition towards eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices in less-developed regions. The fund would be designed to offer grants (rather than loans) to developing countries, making it easier for them to adopt environmentally sustainable technologies and practices. According to India’s proposal, this initiative would provide the much-needed resources to help nations meet the ambitious rules and targets set by the forthcoming global agreement on plastic pollution. The proposal stresses that financial contributions from developed nations will be critical, not only to address the immediate needs of developing countries but also to ensure long-term, sustainable solutions. Developed nations would be expected to periodically contribute to the fund, with guidelines in place to facilitate private-sector donations. The proposal says that compliance by the developing countries should depend on the developed countries covering the extra costs involved in transitioning to environment-friendly alternatives. India has suggested the formation of a subsidiary body with equal representation from developed and developing countries to oversee the fund’s operations, including creating policies, managing resources, and ensuring fair distribution of funds. The subsidiary body would also handle technology transfers. In 2022, the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) adopted a historic resolution to tackle plastic pollution on a global scale. This led to the creation of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) tasked with developing a legally binding international agreement on plastic pollution by 2024. Since 2022, the INC has held four sessions in Uruguay, France, Canada, and Kenya. The current session in Busan, which runs from November 25 to December 1, is expected to finalise the agreement.
