knots for fishing By DAVID BAUDER Time magazine gave Donald Trump something it has never done for a Person of the Year designee: a lengthy fact-check of claims he made in an accompanying interview.

Described as a “12 minute read,” it calls into question 15 separate statements that Trump made. It was the second time Trump earned the Time accolade; he also won in 2016, the first year he was elected president. Time editors said it wasn’t a particularly hard choice over other finalists Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Kate Middleton. Time said Friday that no other Person of the Year has been fact-checked in the near-century that the magazine has annually written about the figure that has had the greatest impact on the news. But it has done the same for past interviews with the likes of Joe Biden, Netanyahu and Trump. Such corrections have been a sticking point for Trump and his team in the past, most notably when ABC News did it during his only debate with Democrat Kamala Harris this fall. There was no immediate response to a request for comment on Friday. In the piece, Time called into question statements Trump made about border security, autism and the size of a crowd at one of his rallies. When the president-elect talked about the “massive” mandate he had received from voters, Time pointed out that former President Barack Obama won more electoral votes the two times he had run for president. The magazine also questioned Trump’s claim that he would do interviews with anyone who asked during the campaign, if he had the time. The candidate rejected a request to speak to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” the magazine said. “In the final months of his campaign, Trump prioritized interviews with podcasts over mainstream media,” reporters Simmone Shah and Leslie Dickstein wrote.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump doesn't think much of Joe Biden's foreign policy record. The Republican president-elect frequently casts the outgoing Democratic president as a feckless leader who shredded American credibility around the world during his four-year term. But a funny thing happened on Trump's way back to the White House: The Biden and Trump national security teams have come to an understanding that they have no choice but to work together as conflicts in Gaza , Syria and Ukraine have left a significant swath of the world on a knife's edge. It's not clear how much common ground those teams have found as they navigate crises that threaten to cause more global upheaval as Trump prepares to settle back into the White House on Jan. 20, 2025. “There is a deep conviction on the part of the incoming national security team that we are dealing with ... and on our part, directed from President Biden, that it is our job, on behalf of the American people, to make sure this is a smooth transition,” Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan said during a weekend appearance at a forum in California. “And we are committed to discharging that duty as relentlessly and faithfully as we possibly can.” To be certain, Trump and his allies haven't let up on their criticism of Biden, putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Biden and Democrats for the series of crises around the globe. The president-elect says Biden is responsible for the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, arguing that policies under his watch led to Hamas and Russia becoming emboldened. And shortly before Syria's Bashar al-Assad's government collapsed last week, Trump blamed Biden's old boss, former President Barack Obama, for failing to enforce his own “red line” in 2013 after Assad deployed chemical weapons that killed hundreds of civilians, and laying the groundwork for Islamic militants to establish a beachhead in the country. But amid the hectoring of Biden, Trump team officials acknowledge that the Biden White House has worked diligently to keep Trump's circle apprised and help ensure there is a smooth handoff on national security matters. “For our adversaries out there that think this is a time of opportunity that they can play one administration off the other, they’re wrong, and we are — we are hand in glove," Mike Waltz, Trump's pick for national security adviser, said in a Fox News interview last month. “We are one team with the United States in this transition.” While Trump rarely has a good word for the Democratic administration, there's an appreciation in Trump world of how the Biden White House has gone about sharing critical national security information, according to a Trump transition official who was not authorized to comment publicly. The coordination is precisely how lawmakers intended for incoming and outgoing administrations to conduct themselves during a handover when they bolstered federal support for transitions. It's already the most substantive handoff process since 2009, aides to Biden and Trump acknowledged, surpassing Trump's chaotic first takeover in 2017 and his wide refusal to cooperate with the incoming Biden team in 2021. Trump's pick to serve as special envoy to the Middle East , Florida real estate developer Steve Witkoff, consulted with Biden administration officials as he recently traveled to Mideast to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to comment publicly about the sensitive talks and spoke on condition of anonymity. Sullivan, who was to travel to Israel on Wednesday for talks with Netanyahu, has in turn kept Waltz in the loop about the Biden administration's efforts at getting a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza before Trump's inauguration. Biden administration officials say that the two national security teams have also closely coordinated on Ukraine and Syria, though they have provided scant detail on what that coordination has looked like. “Let me put it this way: Nothing that we’re doing and nothing that we’re saying are coming as a surprise to the incoming team,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said. "They will decide for themselves what policies they might want to keep in place, what approaches they might want to continue and which ones they won’t." Trump made clear during his campaign that he would move to end the war in Ukraine quickly once he came to office. He called on Russian leader Vladimir Putin earlier this week to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine . But the Biden White House has begun gently — and publicly — making the case for how continued support for Ukraine lines up with Trump's priorities. On Saturday, Sullivan pointed to comments made by Trump on social media to buttress the case that Biden’s push for continued support of Ukraine falls in line with the incoming president’s thinking. Trump earlier that day had noted that Assad’s rule was collapsing because Russia “lost all interest in Syria because of Ukraine, where close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead, in a war that should never have started, and could go on forever.” “Russia and Iran are in a weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because of Israel and its fighting success,” Trump said in the posting on Truth Social. Sullivan underscored that Biden and Trump are in agreement that there should be no American boots on the ground in Syria and that the war in Ukraine was a major factor in Assad’s fall. “I was a little bit struck by it — earlier in the post, he said part of the reason this is happening is because of Russia’s war against Ukraine,” Sullivan said of Trump. “And I think he even referenced the sheer scale of the casualties that Russia has suffered in Ukraine, and for that reason, they’re not in a position to defend their client, Assad. And on that point, we’re in vigorous agreement.” Two days later in Washington, Sullivan made the case that Trump should bolster the little-known U.S. International Development Finance Corporation that was created during the Republican’s first term. The push for reauthorizing the foreign aid agency comes as Trump has promised to make massive cuts to the federal bureaucracy. Trump signed into law the agency's authority -- tucked into a five-year reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration — to provide $60 billion in loans, loan guarantees and insurance to companies in developing nations. Sullivan called the agency an effective tool for private-public partnerships, before allowing that “maybe I shouldn’t be the one” making the case “since I’m leaving, but I will give my advice anyway.” “It was created as we’ve all noted, under the Trump administration,” Sullivan said in remarks at the agency’s annual conference. “It has been strengthened under the Biden administration. And as we look to DFC reauthorization next year, it has to remain a bipartisan priority.” After Assad's government fell, the Biden administration issued a warning to Iran not to speed up its nuclear program after one of its closest allies was toppled, declaring “that’ll never happen on our watch.” The U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive topic, hinted at coordination on the matter with the Trump team. The official said there had been “good discussions” with the incoming administration on the matter and there was an expectation the same policy would carry over. Biden has also approved a new national security memorandum that is meant to serve as a road map for the incoming Trump administration as it looks to counter growing cooperation between China, Iran, North Korea and Russia, the White House announced Wednesday. Biden administration officials began developing the guidance this summer. It was shaped to be a document that could help the next administration build its approach from Day 1 on how it will go about dealing with the tightening relationships between the United States’ most prominent adversaries and competitors, according to two other senior administration officials. One of those officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the White House, sought to assure the incoming Trump team that the Biden White House effort “isn't trying to box them in or tilt them toward one policy option or another.” Instead, the official said, it's about helping the next administration build “capacity” as it shapes its policies on some the most difficult foreign policies it will face.

MIAMI — Despite star running back Javian Mallory sidelined with a lingering hamstring issue, West Boca Raton rode a dominating defensive effort and big plays on offense in winning their first football state championship . Related Articles High School Sports | West Boca Raton wins 6A state championship 26-7 | PHOTOS Playing on the biggest stage, there was no stage fright for the Bulls as they completed a 15-0 season with a 26-7 victory over Kissimmee Osceola on Friday afternoon at Pitbull Stadium on the campus of FIU. It is the first state championship for West Boca and the first state title for a Palm Beach County school since Pahokee eight years ago, first for a county large school since Dwyer in 2013 and the first for a school from south Palm Beach County since American Heritage-Delray was victorious in 2011. “There are a lot of good teams in Palm Beach County, and we played a lot of them and Western from Broward, so it is nice being the top dog, but our schedule during the season prepared us for this moment,” West Boca coach Dylan Potts said. “We knew at the beginning of the season whether we got in going 10-0 or 7-3, the goal was to win a state championship.” The West Boca defense, anchored by defensive tackle Xavier Reid, held 10 of their 15 opponents to eight points or fewer this season. Reid had five tackles and a blocked punt to set up a score. Maxwell Reed led the team with nine tackles, while Aaron Ford and Jamar Thompson each contributed seven tackles. West Boca jumped out to a 10-0 lead as they scored on their first two possessions. The Bulls wasted little time after the defense held the Kowboys (12-3) on their first series. After an incomplete pass, Mason Mallory found junior wide receiver Kyle Andrews alone behind the defense for a 60-yard touchdown. The Bulls capitalized on an Osceola turnover to extend the lead to 10-0 on a 23-yard field goal by John Farfan with 4:51 remaining in the first quarter. West Boca got the ball when Reid blocked a punt that gave West Boca the ball on the Kowboys’ 7. The Bulls got nowhere, and Farfan pushed the margin to 10-0 with a 23-yard field goal. “We came out fast in the first quarter and we needed a big play,” Reid said. “I was able to block the kick. It was a game-changer. It’s amazing...spectacular. Every second we worked to get here.” The Kowboys came to life as they drove 69 yards in 10 plays capped by a 1-yard plunge by UCF commit Taevion Swint with 4:25 to go in the first half to trim the lead to 10-7. Swint finished the game with 14 carries for 115 yards. The Bulls’ defense allowed 0 yards passing and just 170 total yards. Osceola missed a chance to tie the game at the end of the first half when Adrian Gonzalez pushed his 42-yard field goal attempt to the left with 17 seconds remaining. Farfan connected on a 41-yarder to make it 13-7 and then Mason Mallory found Mark Hanniford on the sideline. He outjumped two Kowboys defenders, made one cut to his right, and waltzed into the end zone for a 47-yard TD to extend the lead to 19-7. Hanniford finished with two catches for 140 yards and two scores. “We hadn’t lost all season, so that’s what I was thinking when I ran past their DBs,” Hanniford said. “Missing Javian took a big chunk of our offense away. We missed him, but the defense was strong, and we made plays. It takes 11 players to win a game.” The Bulls iced the game when Trey Moran connected with Hanniford on a 93-yard touchdown pass, touching off a wild celebration on the West Boca sideline. Potts said the game plan all week was to throw the ball and not settle for the run. The Bulls finished with 1 yard on the ground and 241 in the air, including three TDs. Mason Mallory (Javian’s cousin) was 6 of 11 with 147 yards, while Moran added the 93 yards and TD toss. “All the credit goes to those boys over there,” said Potts, pointing to his celebratory sideline. “They worked so hard to get to this point. They played the biggest game of their lives in the biggest moment of their lives. Those kids put so much work in. All three phases, we played lights-out. They were locked in the last five weeks and that is hard to do. They were resilient all year and they finished the job. “It’s the first state championship for us and we are just happy to represent the school, the county and the community. It’s everything we thought we could do this season, but we believe in the work ethic and what the kids accomplished this year. It was something special and I think they could do it again.” Mason Mallory, a junior, said the team was confident. “The coaches have put their trust in me since I was a freshman,” Mallory said. “Nobody knows how much work we put in and we finished 15-0. We knew we could throw the ball on them. My teammates tried to stay calm, cool and collected and I am so happy right now.” Javian Mallory danced and jumped up and down the sideline as he celebrated with his team. “My teammates told me not to worry, that they had my back,” said the junior Super 11 selection by the Sun Sentinel. “I am so proud of my guys, and I believe in them so much. Next year, I get to play. We are going back-to-back.” FAU signee Damon Allen said the game proved that defense wins championships. “We played lights-out defense,” Allen said. “Everybody did their job today.”It’s the season of celebrations, indulgence, and gift-giving!

Whenever friends ask me for a bourbon recommendation, my top pick is any bourbon from Garrison Brothers . They are my all-time favorite Texas distillery, and their whiskeys can compete with the best whiskeys from Kentucky. So, it should be no surprise there are two bourbons from Garrison Brothers in our 2024 Spirits gift guide. If Willy Wonka made a bourbon, it would be the Balmorhea from Garrison Brothers. While you could call the amber liquid ‘dessert in a glass’, it’s not sickly sweet or artificial. It’s a rich bourbon that tastes incredible whether enjoyed neat or on the rocks, and the afterburn reminds you this isn’t candy, but an adult beverage crafted with attention to detail. Official tasting notes: Bourbon candy: frozen fudgesicle bars, amaretto coffee, sticky buns, and pecan brittle. Thick, white chocolate syrup. Award-winning: 2-time US Micro Whisky of the Year and San Francisco Double Gold winner There’s no better description than that of Garrison Brothers: “Guadalupe is a sensuous, creamy liquid, exploding with unique flavors and character, making it the perfect bourbon for the connoisseur with a sophisticated palate.” Officially the tasting notes are: Full-on berry fruit. Ripe plums. Strawberry butter on flaky morning biscuits. Chocolate and cinnamon. Lavender honey. Toasted coffee beans. Unofficially this is one of the most unique and delicious bourbons we’ve ever tried and it makes the perfect gift for any bourbon lover. Aviation American Gin is created by a unique bartender / distiller partnership and now co-owned by actor and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds, Aviation American Gin is crafted with a blend of botanicals delivering an approachable and balanced flavor profile.

West End Gin is a premium, locally-crafted spirit that debuted this summer. This citrus-forward gin boasts 14 botanicals including juniper, orange peel, coriander, and cardamom. It’s a delightful dance between classic London Dry and contemporary styles, offering a clean, crisp, yet smooth taste profile (44% ABV). Every bottle sold donates $1 to community initiatives, starting right in Louisville’s West End. It’s like giving two gifts in one! Toki brings together old and new – the House of Suntory’s proud heritage and its innovative spirit – to create blended Japanese whisky that is both groundbreaking and timeless. This is a blended whisky with a blend of malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Hakushu, Yamazaki, and Chita distilleries. On the nose are aromas of basil, green apple, and honey, a light and refreshing whisky that mixes well. Haku Vodka is a craft vodka made with 100% Japanese white rice. Haku is distillation process involves being carefully filtrated through bamboo charcoal to produce a soft, mellow vodka. Koloa Rum was the first licensed distillery on the island of Kauaʻi, where sugarcane production is a traditional way of life. This award-winning island rum is crafted from pure cane sugar and rainwater from Mount Waiʻaleʻale. Koloa rum comes in several varieties and any bottle would make a great gift, but I recommend checking out the Koloa Kaua`i Coffee. Buchanan’s 18 Special Reserve Whisky is a blend of grain whiskies and single malts aged for at least 18 years in oak barrels that used to hold sherry. With a silky and delicate liquid, Buchanan’s 18 Special Reserve Whisky is a distinctive, rich, and well-rounded whisky with flavors of citrus, nuts, honey, and oak.

JONESBORO — Arkansas State University alumnus and Lynn-native Dr. J.B. Penn has made a gift of more than $450,000 to support the innovative trading program jointly developed by the College of Agriculture and the Neil Griffin College of Business at A-State. This transformative donation, held by the Arkansas State University System Foundation Inc., enhances a hands-on initiative that provides students with real-world experience in financial markets. The funds will be used for investments proposed by students, empowering them to apply their skills in futures and commodities trading. “This gift reflects my belief in the importance of equipping students with an understanding of how financial markets influence business operations,” said Penn, who retired from Deere & Co. after serving as its chief economist. “The hands-on experience gained through this program is invaluable for their future success.” The program utilizes the state-of-the-art Dawson Capital Markets Lab in the Griffin College of Business. Established through a gift in 2014 from Scott and Kay Keasler Dawson, the lab features advanced technology for tracking and analyzing financial markets. “The College of Agriculture emphasizes ‘beyond the classroom’ experiences and the Penn Trading program exemplifies that commitment,” said Dr. Mickey LaTour, dean of the College of Agriculture. “We believe that expertise in futures trading will set our students apart from their peers. We are deeply grateful for Dr. Penn’s generous gift which supports this unique initiative and advances our mission to prepare students for leadership in agriculture.” Dr. Jim Washam, dean of the Griffin College of Business, expressed excitement about the partnership. “Given the importance of agricultural business to the regional economy, our two colleges are a natural fit for joint projects,” Washam said. “This collaboration not only strengthens the academic experience but also prepares students for critical roles in the workforce.” Through the trading platform, students will define investment goals, evaluate risks and present recommendations for real-world execution by the foundation. The returns generated will support scholarships, internships, travel and research opportunities for agriculture students. “Dr. J.B. Penn’s generous gift supports the only program of its kind, uniquely equipping our students with unmatched, real-world trading experience across agriculture, energy and metals markets,” said Dr. Jacob Manlove, associate professor of agricultural economics and advisor for the futures and options trading program. “This initiative bridges classroom learning with the practical demands of trading, ensuring our students graduate with a competitive edge that no other program offers.” Penn, who was designated as an A-State Distinguished Alumnus in 2001, earned his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from A-State before completing advanced degrees in agricultural economics at Louisiana State University and Purdue University. His career included serving as undersecretary for farm and foreign agricultural services at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and providing strategic leadership at Deere & Co.

Jimmy Carter, Green-Energy VisionaryCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA's two stuck astronauts just got their space mission extended again. That means they won't be back on Earth until spring — 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing's Starliner capsule. NASA announced the latest delay in Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams' homecoming Tuesday. The two test pilots planned to be away just a week or so when they blasted off June 5 on Boeing's first astronaut flight to the International Space Station. Their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company's problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September. FILE - This image made from a NASA live stream shows NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore during a press conference from the International Space Station on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024. (NASA via AP, File) Now the pair won't return until the end of March or even April because of a delay in launching their replacements, according to NASA. A fresh crew needs to launch before Wilmore and Williams can return and the next mission was bumped more than a month, according to the space agency. NASA's next crew of four was supposed to launch in February, followed by Wilmore and Williams' return home by the end of that month alongside two other astronauts. But SpaceX needs more time to prepare the new capsule for liftoff. That launch is now scheduled for no earlier than late March. NASA said it considered using a different SpaceX capsule to fly up the replacement crew in order to keep the flights on schedule. However, it decided the best option was to wait for the new capsule to transport the next crew. NASA prefers to have overlapping crews at the space station for a smoother transition, according to officials. Most space station missions last six months, with a few reaching a full year.
