Will Utah State or Boise State forfeit vs. San Jose State in the Mountain West semifinals? - The Associated PressAs a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for "exactly what our movement will do" with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face. He denied knowing anything about the "ridiculous and abysmal" plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies, AP reported. Now, after being elected the 47th president on November 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as "border czar;" and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the US government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone.

"All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups." Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. As budget chief, Vought envisions a sweeping, powerful perch The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. "The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President's mind," Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, "is a President's air-traffic control system" and should be "involved in all aspects of the White House policy process," becoming "powerful enough to override implementing agencies' bureaucracies." Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, "knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State" - Trump's catch-all for federal bureaucracy - and would help "restore fiscal sanity." In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: "We're not going to save our country without a little confrontation." Vought could help Musk and Trump remake government's role and scope The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings - ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a "Department of Government Efficiency." Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers - who have job protection through changes in administration - as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping "efficiency" mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president - not Congress - is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his "Agenda 47," Trump endorsed so-called "impoundment," which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, "The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure." Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. Homan and Miller reflect Trump's and Project 2025's immigration overl Trump's protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas. Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various US immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries - reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in US history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. "America is for Americans and Americans only," Miller said at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on October 27. "America First Legal," Miller's organisation founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump's first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's "family separation policy." Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: "No one's off the table. If you're here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder." Project 2025 contributors slated for CIA and Federal Communications chiefs John Ratcliffe, Trump's pick to lead the CIA, was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on US intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a US adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is now Trump's pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman "is empowered with significant authority that is not shared" with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address "threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market," specifically "Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square." He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and "empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any." Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts. FAQs Q1. What is the age of Donald Trump? A1. Donald Trump's age is 78. Q2. Who is US President-elect? A2.

Matthew Richardson's brutal response after cyclist handed lifetime ban for leaving AustraliaKAI HAVERTZ scored his 12th goal of the season to send Arsenal second with a 1-0 win over Ipswich at the Emirates. It was the German's close-range strike that broke the deadlock as the Gunners moved within six points of Prem leaders Liverpool . Mikel Arteta 's side started brilliantly, suffocating Ipswich's back five at every opportunity as the visitors failed to have a touch in the opposition box in the first 45 minutes. The question heading into this game was how would Arsenal cope without Bukayo Saka , who registered 28 goal involvements in 2024. But Havertz, who roamed all over the pitch, is next on the list after earning his 24th contribution of the year in the 23rd minute. An expected second-half push from Ipswich saw the home fans grow anxious but it finished 1-0 to the Arsenal . READ MORE ON ARSENAL Here's how SunSport's Katherine Walsh rated the Arsenal players at the Emirates Stadium... Cut a lonely figure and must have been cold standing on his goal-line for most of the first half as his team-mates enjoyed 84 per cent possession. Had his first touch on 31 minutes but was called upon more in the second half as Ipswich grew into the game. Got the fans on their feet with a glorious run through the middle of the park inside 19 minutes, but his limp long range shot was easily kept out by Muric. Most read in Football CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Clearly had a licence to roam, cutting in from full back and driving up the pitch. Joined Gabriel in the highest line set up of the season. The pair of them were at the edge of Muric's box for most of the first half. The Frenchman was solid in dealing with a boisterous Liam Delap . Great game for the Brazilian to ease back into 90 minutes after starting against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Caused his usual nuisance in the opposition area from corners but missed a sitter from a Rice set-piece in the 64th minute. Getting more and more impressive each week. The way he moves with that low centre of gravity makes him so hard to dispossess. But a poor clearance saw Ipswich enjoy a first spell of possession before the hour mark. The 18-year-old was poked and prodded by Ipswich striker Delap and Kalvin Phillips at times but dealt with it well. Rice was pushed into a defensive No 6 role but didn't have to stay there long. Energetic as always and added another level of attack he got his foot on the ball and won a dangerous free kick on the edge of the area. Officially back in midfield in Saka's absence after having played most of the season up top. But the German was in the perfect elusive centre-forward’s position to tap home with a breakthrough opener inside 23 minutes. Rotated and exchanged the No 9 role - perhaps Arteta has found a new partnership that may see them through this spell without Saka. Rare off evening for the Arsenal captain but nothing too drastic. Uncharacteristic air ball inside six minutes and wasn't as sharp in his passing. Perhaps missing the chemistry he has with Saka and lost the ball cheaply at times. All eyes were on the winger as he filled in for Saka on the right-hand side. The Brazilian perhaps lacks the directness of the Gunners’ starboy, but he saw plenty of the ball and linked up well with Jesus. Whipped the first ball in for Havertz's goal which came out to Trossard who provided the assist. Started on the left and kept the ball alive to steal a yard on Ben Johnson and provide Havertz with a wicked cross and his 12th goal of the season. Troubled Ipswich's Johnson with his direct running and tireless work rate throughout. Jesus clearly had the bit between his teeth at the moment after last week’s goal rush. Couldn’t quite hold his run well enough when breaking through after 34 minutes for his offside goal. Perhaps over eager at that moment. Looked disappointed when he was subbed off with 20 minutes remaining. READ MORE SUN STORIES The Spanish star came on to secure the game after Ipswich started growing into the game.

SIMON Harris has said he is moving on after his meeting with a care worker in Cork on Friday went viral. The Taoiseach caused controversy after he spoke to Charlotte Fallon, a disability worker with St Joseph’s Foundation. RTE footage posted to X showed Mr Harris on a canvass in Kanturk when Ms Fallon told the Taoiseach carers “were ignored” and the Government has “done nothing for us”. Mr Harris responded by saying: “No, not at all”, and “that’s not true” several times before shaking her hand. When asked whether he thought the clip would overshadow the Fine Gael campaign, Mr Harris said people would vote for the best plan on offer. He said: “I hope people like to see humility in politics and if you get something wrong, you come out and you own it. “I’m human, I make mistakes. But you know what I do when I make a mistake? I own it. “There’s been far too many occasions during General Elections in this country and abroad where something goes wrong on the campaign trail and people dilly dally and debate for days. "You know what? I put my hands up. I got it completely wrong. I was wrong, simple as.” Mr Harris has since spoken to Ms Fallon to apologise and said he was committed to improving disability services. Asked about the encounter, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald said Ms Fallon had spoken “truth to power”. She added: “The unfortunate thing is, in this case, power didn’t want to hear the truth, and that’s hugely, hugely problematic. “You hear all sorts of things out on the campaign trail. I think a wise leader, a person who would wish to be Taoiseach, listens and accepts that when somebody is telling you that your policies are hurting, hurting them, hurting the people that they represent and work for — you should hear that lesson. “If you’re not hearing that lesson, you’re not going to change your approach and in that meeting that happened in Kanturk, I think people just got a glimpse of actually what it would mean for Fine Gael to be back in government with Fianna Fail , because it is their approach. “They don’t listen, don’t respond, and seem to think, astonishingly, that people ought to be grateful for their efforts, rather than hearing, reflecting and changing.” SIMON Harris is the current leader of the Fine Gael political party in Ireland. Wicklow TD Harris took over the position after former party leader and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced he was stepping down in March of 2024. Taking over the helm as Taoiseach in April, Harris became the youngest person ever to hold the job - at 37. Harris was first elected as a TD in 2011 and went on to act as a Junior Minister in the Department of Finance from 2014 before being thrust into the role of Minister for Health when Fine Gael came into power in 2016. Unlike his predecessors and the other leaders in the Dail , Simon grew up in a non-political family. He went to a public school, and admitted that he was an "accidental politician" after being inspired into public life by a desire to help his younger brother, who was diagnosed with autism when they were children. He said: "In many ways, I’m an accidental politician. I ended up in politics when my brother was born with autism and I stood as a moody teenager, and started campaigning in Wicklow , saying there has to be a better way of providing educational supports for people with autism." Behind the politics, Simon is also a husband and a father, sharing two children with his wife Caoimhe. Harris got down and one knee at their home in Co Wicklow and proposed in July 2016 after the couple had been together for seven years. The couple welcomed their first child, Saoirse, in January 2019, when he was Minister for Health, followed by their son, Cillian, in 2021. Simon previously opened up on how being a dad influenced his beliefs. He said: "I would have been very aware of the challenges and difficulties that people could face and the huge journeys people go through in relation to IVF, surrogacy, miscarriage. Thankfully we were blessed and we didn’t experience any of those things.”
