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, making the announcement on his Truth Social account, 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 those 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 before Biden leaves office in less than two months. The U.S. has recently stepped up weapons shipments and has forgiven billions in loans provided to Kyiv. Trump has criticized the billions the Biden administration has spent in supporting Ukraine and 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 designed 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 adviser , U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida, 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 featured 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.

The 65-year-old former Maroons and Manly forward said he made up his mind up about retiring towards the end of the NRL season. 'I'm 65, and I've run out of petrol ,' Vautin told The Sydney Morning Herald. 'When I think about my life I have to say it's all been a surprise; the television career, my football career. 'I remember thinking as a 15- or 16-year-old redheaded, freckly kid that I didn't know what I was gonna do with my life, and then when I look at what I've done, I'm still surprised.' Vautin was the face of the popular sports talk show The Footy Show for the better part of 24 years before he was unceremoniously dismissed in 2017 after ratings dwindled. NRL legend Paul Vautin has announced his retirement from television Vautin, who played 204 games for Manly and represented his state and country in rugby league, described his time in TV as 'an absolute privilege' The Manly legend said it was a privilege to work with so many talented people throughout his career at Channel 9. 'I still love Nine, and all the great people there, and I still love the game, I really do – it gave me everything,' he said. 'The players are unbelievable, but there are things about it now that irritate me, like the six again and dropouts that are contested. I don't want to become that cranky old guy who complains about a sport that made him what he is. 'I can't believe how fortunate I've been to play the game at the level I did. I thought when I came to Sydney I'd have a few years in reserve grade and then probably go home. Instead, I got to play with some of the greats of the game who I now get to call friends. 'And then to think that I somehow had a career in media that went for as long as it did. I'm just so grateful for all the people and my family who have helped me along the way.' Vautin, who won 11 Logie Awards with The Footy Show for Best Sports Program, made special mention of colleague Peter Sterling - saying he was the best footy commentator he worked with. After Vautin's time with The Footy Show wrapped up, he became a regular in the Wide World of Sports commentary team. 'What really gives me joy though, is running into people to this day who say nice things about what we did,' Vautin said. Vautin made special mention of longtime colleague Peter Sterling (pictured) The Manly great said he made his mind up towards the end of the NRL season Vautin hosted popular TV program The Footy Show for many years 'It makes me quite emotional when I meet people, and it happens often, who say to me, "That show brought my family together". 'I remember meeting a guy recently who thanked me for the relationship that he and his dad had because they bonded over watching The Footy Show. And when you hear things like that, that it brought families together, and kept them together, that's better than anything.' Nine's acting CEO, Matt Stanton, called Vautin an icon of Australian television. 'After an outstanding playing career he forged a stellar path here at Nine, and we're truly proud and thankful for what he has achieved,' he said. 'He has been a major part in forging our successful and long standing partnership with the NRL and the passionate fans of the game with his cheeky, yet passionate takes that have resonated so broadly. 'We wish him all the best in retirement and will continue to celebrate what he has accomplished for the business.'

Onyx Boox Note Air 4C ReviewCNN anchor Abby Phillip has spoken out in defense of Laura Loomer, a Trump loyalist, who is embroiled in a dispute with Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter). The controversy centers around Loomer’s claims that her account on the platform has been restricted following her criticism of Musk and his views on immigration. Loomer Accuses Musk of Targeting Her Account Loomer, who has 1.4 million followers and previously held a verified account, alleged that Musk had limited her account’s monetization features and other privileges. This followed a public spat between the two regarding U.S. work visas for Indian tech professionals, during which Musk accused Loomer of trolling. Phillip addressed the issue on CNN’s NewsNight , stating, “[Loomer is] saying that this is basically cancel culture—that Elon Musk doesn’t like what she’s been saying and has basically locked her out of the platform. It would not be the first time that he’s been accused of doing something like that.” Coleman Hughes, a guest on the segment, criticized Musk’s actions, calling them hypocritical given his prior commitment to restoring free speech on the platform. Phillip added, “The free speech apparently doesn’t apply to criticizing Elon Musk.” Laura Loomer And Broader Conservative Concerns About X Loomer is not alone in her grievances. NBC has reported that at least 14 conservative accounts have raised similar concerns about being restricted on X. Musk responded to the criticism by posting a “reminder” that the platform’s algorithm reduces a user’s reach if they are frequently blocked or muted by others. Musk wrote, “If far more credible, verified subscriber accounts (not bots) mute/block your account compared to those who like your posts, your reach will decline significantly.” In response, Loomer has taken to X to demand the restoration of her account. One of her posts read, “Elon Musk has been a Republican for 5 minutes and now he wants to decide who gets to be a Republican. Elon, you said you were a free speech absolutist. If you are, let’s please let all ideas flourish, and we will let the best ideas win.” Another post criticized Musk for allegedly stifling dialogue, “We want to have a conversation with [Musk], but he limits the convo by deleting our check marks and by calling [us] trolls. I’d be happy to have a conversation, but he limited my account. That’s a bad faith effort at conversation & debate.” Laura Loomer Stirs Immigration Debate The dispute between Loomer and Musk stems from a broader immigration debate, specifically around the H-1B visa program. The program allows U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers and has become a divisive issue within Trump’s base. Vivek Ramaswamy, a former GOP presidential candidate recently appointed as co-chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), further fueled the debate with a controversial post on X. Ramaswamy expressed strong support for bringing “highly skilled” foreign workers to the U.S., criticizing cultural priorities that favor athletes and social figures over academic achievers. “A society celebrating ‘the prom queen over the math olympiad champ’ and ‘the jock over the valedictorian’ will inevitably fail to produce the world’s best engineers,” Ramaswamy stated, even attributing the decline in America’s scientific leadership to 1990s sitcoms. Trump Distances Himself from Loomer While Loomer remains a visible presence at Mar-a-Lago, her controversial statements, including racially charged remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, have drawn widespread criticism. Former President Donald Trump addressed the issue at a press conference, emphasizing that Loomer is a private citizen and not part of his campaign. On Truth Social, Trump stated, “Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign. She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statements she made.” Despite this, Trump appeared to offer tacit support, calling Loomer a “free spirit” and declining to criticize her remarks. Also Read: What Is An H-1B Visa?
