So now we know that the cop who fatally shot unarmed Donald Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, 36, during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot was rewarded with a promotion and a $36,000 bonus.
There were no ill consequences for his rash actions that day. Instead, Capt. Michael Byrd, 56, was held up as a hero of democracy, despite the fact that he had a lengthy disciplinary record that includes leaving his loaded handgun in a public bathroom in the Capitol Visitor Center, “improperly” firing his gun at a car near his home while off duty and abusing a Maryland cop

To Ditch Thanksgiving, Learn About ‘Colonial’ Violence replies
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) sent out a memo, exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, warning against the “colonial settler mythological” presentation of Thanksgiving and urging staff members to instead reflect on the plight of Native Americans and celebrate “Truthsgiving.”
The statement, sent out today and written by the director of the DHS Office of Indian Policy Angie DeLille, encourages staff to reconsider their usual Thanksgiving celebration and allocate money to “indigenous-owned businesses.”
“As we approach this holiday, it’s an important time to reflect on the historical truths surrounding this holiday, particularly the impact it has had on Tribal and urban American Indian communities in Minnesota,”
Billionaire Elon Musk asked social media users Wednesday if the Internal Revenue Service should be “deleted” — a day after a top Biden-Harris administration official urged Congress to give the federal agency $20 billion.
“The IRS just said it wants $20B more money,” Musk, who will co-lead informal Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump, wrote on X.
The world’s richest person then asked users for their thoughts on the tax authority’s budget situation. (Photo) “Do you think its budget should be: Increased, Same, Decreased, Deleted,” Musk asked in a poll. More than 60% of X users preferred having the IRS’s budget “deleted.”
Speculation has run rampant about whether Hillary Clinton may run for president in 2028 after a speaking event was announced in coming weeks.

Is Mark Zuckerberg about to bend the knee to President Trump?
Intriguing news has surfaced that the Meta chief and Facebook founder was spotted the President-Elect this afternoon at Mar-A-Lago. According to The New York Times, Zuckerberg and Trump privately met at the world-famous mansion.
The Times did not reveal what the two talked about.
From the New York Times: Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, had a private meeting with President-elect Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago this afternoon, two people briefed on the meeting tell Jonathan Swan and me. Zuckerberg did not back Trump, but he praised his defiant, fist-raised posture right after he was shot at in July
A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed January 6 defendant Ray Epps' year-long defamation lawsuit against Fox News, ruling that Epps failed to "state a claim."
Epps, who some conservatives had speculated was an undercover FBI agent sent by the bureau to stoke the January 6 riot in 2021, filed the lawsuit last year, claiming that an indictment from the Justice Department might not have surfaced against him if it wasn't for Fox's coverage.
The January 6 defendant also argued that Fox News and former host Tucker Carlson engaged in a "years-long campaign spreading falsehoods about Epps."
President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration this January will signal a tectonic shift in American foreign policy unmatched by any since Ronald Reagan's swearing in 43 years before. With his understanding that diplomacy, to be effective, must be backed by power, Reagan succeeded Jimmy Carter who acted as if words alone could prevent the overthrow of the Shah of Iran or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Trump, too, will follow a president who removed the military options from every table, even after Iran sent its proxies to murder American soldiers and assassinate former U.S. officials. The diplomatic accomplishments of the 46th president, consequently, were negligible.
The feds arrested an Arizona man who allegedly threatened to “put a hole” in President-elect Donald Trump’s face — after months of posting deranged videos in which he threatened to gun down the first family while brandishing a rifle.
Manuel Tamayo-Torres was taken into custody in San Diego Monday after threatening Trump, 78, in a video as recently as Thursday, ABC News reported.
Charging documents, which refer to Trump as “Individual 1,” described the threats as “vague yet direct,” and accused Tamayo-Torres of posting “numerous” videos “on a near-daily basis” over several months.
In the series of profane videos posted to Facebook, the suspect claimed that Trump kidnapped and sex-trafficked his kids,

Republicans are evil. They hate America, they are fascists, they are out to destroy democracy, blah, blah, blah. That’s what the left wants you to think. However, actions are much louder than words, and that proves to be true this Thanksgiving. While outgoing President Joe Biden spends the holiday week strolling around in the land of woke and elites, President-elect Donald Trump’s new border Czar, Tom Homan, and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) are serving American troops a Thanksgiving dinner. (X Videos)
MSNBC has a problem. They are out of a certain medication known to have positive effects on people who are suffering from a severe lack of self-awareness. That medicine is known as "Copium," and the various talking heads and droids at MSBNC could use a big old dose. Seriously, they've lost half their audience since the election, and they don't seem to know what to do about it.
MSNBC’s audience has tanked since the election.
The liberal network’s viewership is down by 47 percent overall since Nov. 5 and by 52 percent during primetime, the latest Nielsen ratings show.
President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has received assurances from Mexico’s new president that she will “stop migration” though her country and into the US.
“Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,” he added. (Photo) Trump, 78, noted that he and Sheinbaum Pardo also discussed illegal drugs coming into the US from south of the border during their “very productive conversation.”
An Illinois man is giving a whole lot of thanks to a stranger-turned-hero this holiday.
A US postal worker rushed to the aid of an elderly man who fell and hit his head while on a walk – now the pair of former strangers will celebrate Thanksgiving together as a family.
Jaylen Lockhart was working his regular postal route in Aurora, Illinois, on Saturday when he spotted Guy Miller, 75, take a nasty fall and bash his head on the ground while out walking his dog, Bentley, according to local reports.
The selfless worker immediately turned his mail truck around and rushed to the side of a bloodied Miller,
The annual American holiday called Thanksgiving formally began with an 1863 proclamation from Abraham Lincoln declaring the last Thursday in November a day of “thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens,” as well as “humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience.”
The thought behind Thanksgiving is outward toward God and his blessings and not inward, which suggests gratitude to no one in particular for whatever positives might have occurred in one’s life.
In the more secular view, these positives are not blessings, but are to be chalked up to luck or “good fortune.” May “The Force” be with you.
Ukrainian-born Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (US Army Ret.) may be about to pay the ultimate price for his crimes against America if the world’s richest man has any say.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Vindman was a crucial figure in the first impeachment of President Trump over his “perfect” phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019. But he was caught repeatedly lying during his testimony before Congress, which made him a leftist hero.
The truth is that Vindman was a leaker who thought his opinions overruled the Trump administration. He was moved from the White House with his twin brother (who was unfortunately elected to Congress this month)
One of the most disturbing scandals of the Hunter Biden saga is the imprisonment without trial of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov.
The Ukrainian-born Israeli-American, who once told his FBI handler about Ukrainian claims of a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, has been languishing in a Los Angeles prison for nine months on charges that he lied to the FBI.
Last week, federal prosecutors slapped new tax-evasion charges on Smirnov, 43, which suggests they know their original indictment is too weak for a jury to convict him when he faces trial beginning Jan. 8.
Smirnov was one of the FBI’s most trusted confidential human sources, paid more than $100,000
Remarkable footage shows Wisconsin women screaming in unison towards Lake Michigan in the wake of Vice President Harris's Nov. 5 loss to President-elect Trump.
The footage, which recently went viral on social media, was originally posted by a Facebook user named Tamara Gibbs. The event took place at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay on Nov. 9.
The extraordinary video shows around two dozen adult women screeching at the water. The screams eventually reach a crescendo, as video shows the shrieks getting gradually louder and louder until the group stopped.
"What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain
The owners of Peanut the squirrel, which took the internet by storm after his "illegal and improper killing," along with his raccoon pal Fred, by New York authorities, are planning to sue the state, accusing officials of government overreach and abuse.
Mark Longo and Daniela Bittner filed a notice of claim against the state after both animals were taken from the couple’s upstate home and animal sanctuary in rural Pine City, near the Pennsylvania border, during a raid by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) on Oct. 30.
The claim accuses authorities of violating the couple's rights by taking the animals, invasion of privacy and trespass, among other claims.
There are a number of things that sank the Democrats in 2024, some of which are very obvious, and some that aren't widely talked about. You'll often find there's not a lot of discussion around some of these things because the media refuses to address them.
At this point in human history, it's pretty clear to most that the media is an untrustworthy entity that tends to lean so far left it falls over. I don't have to tell you how much it blatantly lied about Donald Trump and any of his allies over the course of the last eight years, pushing people into frenzies
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has made a new ruling in the case involving the state of Texas defending itself against the illegal alien horde invited to storm the U.S.-Mexico border by the Biden administration over the past four year--and it's a win for Governor Greg Abbott.
RedState had written extensively about the legal wrangling over the razor wire erected at the border, including the governor's reaction to the US Surpeme Court vacating the Fifth Circuit's previous ruling in January that would have stopped Biden Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents from removing the physical barriers.
In Wednesday's decision, the court states a few things.
As RedState's Bob Hoge reported, the Democrat Party Twitter/X account released a short video Tuesday of what they described as "Vice President Kamala Harris' message to supporters."
Presumably, the video was created to boost the morale of Democrats who were absolutely deflated and demoralized (and in many cases frighteningly unhinged) after their Election Day drubbing at the hands of former President Donald Trump.
"I just have to remind you, don’t you ever let anybody take your power from you," a tired-looking Harris emphatically stated. "You have the same power that you did before November 5th."
"And you have the same purpose that you did," she went on to say.
Ryan Wesley Routh, the second suspect to attempt to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump, sent Politico a letter parroting mainstream media talking points that vilify Trump. At one point in the four-page letter, penned from behind bars, the alleged would-be Trump assassin calls Trump a "dictator." [Tweet]
According to the anti-Trump screed — written prior to the 2024 presidential election — Routh warned that if Trump were to win, the country would need to strip the president's commander-in-chief status ahead of Inauguration Day.
"We must limit all Presidential power before Trump seizes our country," Routh wrote.
President-elect Donald J. Trump isn’t buying into the FBI’s games, nor should he. The Justice Department has targeted the man and has gone multiple rounds with its lawyers, including a federal raid on his home—all of which was to derail his 2024 candidacy. But he won the election.
He’s in charge, and I hope he takes a baseball bat to the J. Edgar Hoover Building. And yes, no appointee should subject themselves to an FBI background check for security clearances until he’s sworn in and gets his people to run the show. The Biden DOJ cannot be trusted. In a massive middle finger to the bureau,
Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan reacted to news of death threats against Trump nominees on Wednesday and said he now takes the death threats he has previously received seriously.
"I have not taken this serious up to this point," Homan told Fox News anchor Gillian Turner on "The Story" on Wednesday, referring to previous death threats made against him and his family.
"Now that I know what's happened in the last 24 hours. I will take it a little more serious. But look, I've been dealing with this. When I was the ICE director in the first administration, I had numerous death threats.
Come January, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) will have a vacancy in the U.S. Senate to fill, given that Republican Sen. JD Vance has been elected to serve as President-elect Donald Trump's vice president. Earlier this week, Ohio.news reported on a poll from WPA Intelligence on who voters want to see fill Vance's seat. While the poll shows that 39 percent of Ohio likely voters are "undecided," the highest vote getter by name is Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who earns 17 percent in a hypothetical Senate primary. Lt. Governor Jon Husted enjoys 10 percent support, while Attorney General Dave Yost enjoys 9 percent support,
