Question: (CNN) Ret. Vice Adm. Bob Harward turned down President Donald Trump's offer to be national security adviser Thursday, depriving the administration of a top candidate for a critical foreign policy post days after Trump fired Michael Flynn. Trump has since named Ret. Lt. Gen. Joseph Keith Kellogg, who worked under Flynn until the latter was asked to resign, as the acting national security adviser. Asked if there was a candidate for national security adviser in sight, a White House official told CNN, "Not that I'm aware of." "Since retiring, I have the opportunity to address financial and family issues that would have been challenging in this position," Harward said in a statement. "Like all service members understand, and live, this job requires 24 hours a day, 7 days a week focus and commitment to do it right. I currently could not make that commitment. My thoughts and prayers are with those that carry such heavy burdens and responsibility for taking care of our country's national security concerns. God bless this great country of ours."A friend of Harward's said he was reluctant to take the job because the White House seems so chaoticEarlier this week, Trump fired Michael Flynn as national security adviser

Answer: _ called the offer a "s*** sandwich," the friend said.


Question: Manchester United paid a 'premium' for Monaco's Anthony Martial in a bid to beat off competition for the teenager's services from Barcelona, Paris St Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City.

Question: (Mashable) -- Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) will not support the Stop Online Piracy Act, according to a statement released by his office Monday. In the statement, Ryan calls the Internet "one of the most magnificent expressions of freedom and free enterprise in history" and says "it should stay that way." According to Ryan, SOPA is an attempted solution to the "legitimate problem" of digital piracy, but the bill "creates the precedent and possibility for undue regulation, censorship and legal abuse." Congressman Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, became a target of the Reddit community last month. Reddit users considered Ryan's previous stance on SOPA too vague -- and took issue with the $288,600 that the Congressman had accepted from pro-SOPA groups.Congressman says bill "creates the precedent and possibility for undue regulation"Makes sense that Paul Ryan would oppose a bill giving more authority to federal governmentRyan says Internet is an expression of freedom and should stay that way
