Americans seem relieved that LITERALLY HITLER is coming to Washington with his "WEIRD" sidekick, while Sleepy Joe and Vapid Commiela are on their way out the door. The big surprise is the kids--the kids are thrilled that Trump is about to return to the White House. Trump's approval rating among 18-29-year-olds is off the charts at 57%, the highest of any group at +19.
Wowza. Only the old farts are unhappy, with the 65+ crowd at -3%, which isn't bad at all.
Needless to say, Trump is more popular than he has ever been, and the country is breathing a genuine sigh of relief
Britain appears ripe for a Trumpian-style political revolution, with half of young men in the country saying they would vote for the American leader if given the opportunity.
A survey published by Jim Blagden, associate director of the More In Common polling consultancy firm, found that 50 per cent of men aged between 18 and 35-years-old in the United Kingdom would vote for Donald Trump if they could. The results of the poll showed a wide disparity between those who would vote for Trump and who they supported in the UK general election in July, with just a quarter of young men backing the Conservative Party or Reform UK.
Disney has reportedly decided to shelve an episode of the children’s cartoon series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, apparently over its plot concerning a transgender high school athlete.
The Mouse House has decided not to air the episode entitled “Gatekeeper,” which features story praising a boy who identifies as a girl and who battles against opposition to his playing on a high school volleyball team.
Several creators who said they worked on the episode which was originally set to air early next year took to the left-wing social media outlet Bluesky to decry the shelving of the episode. At least two who said they worked
A bipartisan group of Senators voted overwhelmingly Wednesday afternoon against limiting arms sales to Israel as it fights a multi-front war against Iran’s terror proxy groups.
Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), an avowed socialist, brought a vote on three joint resolutions of disapproval to block the U.S. from sending some of the $20 billion of weapons to Israel the Biden administration approved in August.
On a bipartisan basis, the Senate rejected Sanders’s push to halt offensive weapons sales to Israel as many Republicans and some Democrats reaffirmed their pro-Israel stances.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi flippin’ love Montecito.
They do. They love it so much they have reportedly owned and/or flipped at least 21 properties there. Nevertheless, they are ditching Santa Barbara County.
The ex-Montecitans are now expats after the reelection of a certain ex-president, the Wrap reports. DeGeneres and De Rossi are now at home in the U.K.
The pair are voracious home buyers. They have bought and sold a number of properties around L.A., yet the Santa Barbara area was a particular favorite. Site Line, which keeps an eye on upscale real estate in those parts, said in February that DeGeneres and De Rossi had spent at least $350 million
Malcolm Nance talks a lot. An awful lot. And almost always about Malcolm Nance. Nance, MSNBC's former go-to military "expert," has once again talked far too much about himself, and now he's painted himself into a very tight corner.
Nance's yarns about his military service have been challenged by other veterans for years, and when Nance had a severe, TDS-inspired meltdown on X last week, veterans again called him out. Nance then issued a challenge to one of them, Dave Parke, to prove his claims on national TV or radio.
DENVER (KDVR) — The State of Colorado is set to cover the attorney fees for Alliance Defending Freedom in a settlement amounting to more than $1.5 million after an agreement was finally reached following the United States Supreme Court ruling in favor of 303 Creative on June 30, 2023, according to public court documents filed by the law firm. Lorie Smith, a Christian graphic and web designer, declined an inquiry by a same-sex couple considering using her services to create a wedding website due to her religious beliefs.
For the next four years, prepare to hear the same old thing over and over again from irrational libs who claim President-elect Donald Trump wants to destroy democracy. This week, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin claimed that “Republicans want to kill your kids” and that those who consent to Trump’s cabinet picks must pay a "political price." “The people who irresponsibly put dangerous, treasonous, unfit people in positions of authority are responsible not only for those people but for all the horrors that will unfold," Rubin said during an episode of her "Jen Rubin's Green Room” podcast.
President-elect Donald J. Trump is reportedly closing in on a familiar name to helm the United States Secret Service, which has been marred by controversy regarding its serial failure to protect the incoming president during his July rally at Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot during that assassination attempt. The incident led to the resignation of director Kimberly Cheatle, Jill Biden’s gal pal, for the incompetence that was unearthed, which led to bipartisan outrage. That’s why Mr. Trump is eying former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino to helm the agency.
The 'progressive' district attorney who prosecuted the case for the migrant who brutally murdered nursing student Laken Riley said she wouldn't seek the death penalty because it would cause 'collateral consequences to undocumented defendants.'
Jose Ibarra, 26, was convicted Wednesday on all 10 counts for his brutal slaying of the 22-year-old Augusta University student while she was jogging and got life in prison without parole.
Many Republicans were shocked that Ibarra, an undocumented migrant from Venezuela, was not given a death sentence.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) jumped into the discussion on biological men who identify as transgender using women’s restrooms in the United States Capitol building, stating that Delaware Rep.-elect Sarah McBride (D) was “welcome to use” his office restroom.
In a post on X, Fetterman wrote that he was not afraid to lose a job if it meant he had “to degrade anyone,” adding that “anybody” including McBride, who is the first transgender candidate to be elected to serve in Congress, was welcome to use the restroom in his office.
Delaware state senator Tim “Sarah” McBride, a biological male who has since ‘transitioned’ to a woman, became the first transgender elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after winning Delaware’s only House seat.
“Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities,” McBride said earlier this month.
“While at this moment in America’s history, hope sometimes feels hard to come by, we must never forget that we are the beneficiaries of seemingly impossible change,” added McBride.
The maxim "you don't hate the media enough" has never proven truer than in the two weeks since Donald Trump was voted back into the White House. Not willing to take some time for self-reflection to ponder why they were so soundly thrashed at the ballot box, the left and their lapdog media seem to be, as another maxim says, stuck on stupid.
Case in point: the media's reaction to the verdict in the Laken Riley murder case.
For those who haven't been following the case closely, Laken Riley, a nursing student living in Athens, Georgia, was brutally murdered in February of this year by illegal alien Jose Ibarra,
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) mocked his Democrat colleagues during this week’s Senate Republican Leadership press briefing, offering his pronouns before speaking.
“Hi, I’m Steve Daines. My pronouns are Republican Majority,” he said to laughs, mocking leftists who sometimes opt to display what they feel is their inclusivity by first stating their pronouns or asking for the preferred pronouns of others as to not offend, as a woman may identify as “they/them or a man may identify as “she/her.” (X Video) Daines used the rest of his remarks to send a pointed message to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (R-NY) and incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA),
In 2020, in a sad show of political pandering, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and several other Democrat lawmakers took a knee in the Capitol Visitor Center, wearing African kente cloth scarves, to show solidarity with a drug addict and career criminal, George Floyd. Floyd's death has been hashed over time and again, and there's no need to repeat that discussion here. But the pandering by Congressional Democrats is interesting in light of another event-- the Wednesday sentencing of Jose Ibarra, who was convicted of the murder of Laken Riley.
A Naval Academy graduate has been charged with a hate crime after he was allegedly seen on camera ripping down a pride flag outside of an Annapolis, Maryland tattoo shop.
According to charging documents, the co-owner of the Dapper Dog Tattoo Shop, Charlie Garrett, contacted police on Nov. 15 to report that the store had been vandalized. Garrett told police that closed-circuit security camera footage had captured a man tearing down a pride flag with the phrase "ABIDE NO HATRED" emblazoned on it from the storefront at around 1 a.m. that day and placing it in a nearby trash can.
The ex-girlfriend who provided crucial testimony in the Matt Gaetz sex trafficking investigation has been identified as Brianna Garcia, a former Capitol Hill intern and Democrat campaigner, the Daily Mail first reported.
Despite her previous involvement in the case, Garcia now praises Gaetz, suggesting he would serve effectively as Attorney General, a position he has been nominated for by President-elect Donald Trump.
Brianna Garcia, 28, has been revealed as the ex-girlfriend who testified before a grand jury in the investigation into allegations
There’s one little victory regarding the nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general: House Ethics won’t release the report on his alleged misdeeds, which the former Florida Republican congressman has denied—some of the allegations involved trysts with women who weren’t 18 years of age. House Speaker Mike Johnson urged members not to release the report. Today, that body obliged. With Gaetz resigning from Congress shortly after his AG nomination, the inquiry into his activities ceased (via Axios):
Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name.
MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off
Glenn Greenwald appears for an interview with Tucker Carlson on the topic of the Biden administration directly making a decision as they exit the White House to attack Russia and provoke a direct war between U.S-led NATO and Russia. Greenwald notes the accurate context of the recent decision to provide, launch, target and direct ATACMS missiles to hit targets inside Russia. This is not the U.S. providing Ukraine with weapons for use. This is the USA using the auspices of Ukraine geography to launch missiles into Russia that can only be launched, directed and targeted by U.S-NATO members.
Before marrying in 2021, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., was known to be a braggadocious libertine. No conservative wants to defend such behavior, and so many on the Right are remaining silent as Gaetz is accused of also engaging in criminal conduct, paying prostitutes, and having sex with a minor. The claims against Gaetz are but another information operation, however, mirroring the ones that previously targeted Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. And this pattern will continue unabated unless Americans unflinchingly condemn the tactic — no matter the target.
The Confirmation Wars
replies
If you know anything about Washington, D.C., you know that lying and backstabbing are routine. Your enemies lie, and, often, your friends lie -- or those you assume are friends. In Washington, hidden motives are a given. Sleight of hand is a card shark’s trick perfected in D.C.
When it comes to confirming Matt Gaetz as attorney general, Pete Hegseth as DoD chief, Tulsi Gabbard as DNI director, Kristi Noem at Homeland Security, and John Ratcliffe at CIA, it’s a given that hyperpartisan Democrats are going to fight their nominations. That’s as sure as it gets. But then there are establishment Republicans and pliable conservatives with hidden agendas, too.
Who is the leaker in the Trump Transition team?
Vanity Fair last Thursday evening, citing a “transition source,” dropped a hit piece on Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary.
Citing two sources, Vanity Fair reported that Trump’s newly appointed Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was briefed about a sexual misconduct allegation involving Pete Hegseth.
“Donald Trump’s transition team scrambled Thursday after Trump’s incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles was presented with an allegation that former Fox & Friends cohost Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to be Defense Secretary, had engaged in sexual misconduct. According to two sources, Wiles was briefed Wednesday night about an allegation
Some years ago, I heard that Matt Gaetz had been accused of having sex with an underage girl. Much later, I understood that the claim had turned out to be false and had been dropped. But now, following Gaetz’s nomination as Attorney General, it has reappeared in the guise of a House Ethics Committee investigation and attendant newspaper leaks. Headlines have been full of salacious references to sex with a 17-year-old. I wondered why that was ever a matter for criminal investigation, since in most states 17 would be above the age of consent. But the age of consent is 18 in Florida, where I take the incident supposedly occurred.
