The collective pearl-clutching by the corporate press and Washington establishment on Wednesday after Trump announced he’d chosen Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general was something to behold. [Snip] And since Gaetz himself was one of the more prominent victims of Garland’s politicized DOJ, he might just be the perfect person for the job. [Snip] ...Gaetz was subjected to an 18-month sham DOJ investigation based on nothing more than the publication of an anonymously sourced and frankly outlandish report accusing him of possibly being a child sex trafficker. He was never convicted and never even charged, but that was never the point. The point was to silence him.
President-elect Trump announced on Thursday his intent to nominate former Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., to serve as secretary of Veterans Affairs. "Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need. Thank you, Doug, for your willingness to serve our country in this very important role."
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who spent the last four years stuck behind a desk processing illegal migrants under the Biden-Harris administration are preparing to get back out into the field — as President-elect Donald Trump and his “border czar” Tom Homan vowed to “flood” sanctuary cities with agents.
The move would mean thousands of desk-bound ICE officers will soon be out making arrests of the millions of illegal immigrants who snuck across the besieged southern border and are now roaming American streets.
The federal agency has a total workforce of about 21,000 employees, which includes non-law enforcement personnel who handle administration work,

Former House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins was one of the key congressional representatives during the Trump-Russia madness who helped shine a light on all the nonsense. In his Judiciary Committee position, (snip)
Collins used his position to outwit Chairman Elijah Cummings and release the transcripts from the floor of the House, putting them into the public record. The transcripts were a key tool in tearing apart the lies fed to media in the effort to frame President Trump.
Donald Trump hosted a star-studded Mar-a-Lago bash Thursday night with guests such as under-fire attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz and Rocky Balboa himself, Sylvester Stallone.
The president-elect gave a speech at the America First Policy Conference, which has gathered the stars of the conservative movement at his posh Palm Beach, Florida resort the past couple of days.
Stallone introduced Trump as a 'mythical character' and said guests were in the presence of the 'second George Washington.'
Trump then spoke directly to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and asked him to pass a bill that would let him start his term early.

RINO warmonger and former Trump national security advisor John Bolton was being shopped around the failing leftist cable news stations Wednesday to decry Trump’s picks for Director of National Intelligence and Attorney General, even calling for a law enforcement investigation into the two.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Wednesday his nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
Bolton lost his mind, calling them the “worst” and “second worst” cabinet nominations in American History.
The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race is over, even as this circus gets bogged down in a recount. It’s been over for quite some time, as incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey doesn’t have the votes to win. There are also not enough outstanding votes for him to overcome Republican Dave McCormick’s near-30,000 vote lead. A good chunk of the provisional ballots will be rejected, which is why everyone, including Democrats, knows that Casey lost and should concede. He refuses to do so, allowing liberal attorney Marc Elias to find ways to steal this race.
A very strategic plan for Main Justice transition delivered today by President Trump. President Trump has announced Deputy AG Todd Blanche to be #2 in charge behind Matt Gaetz, and Emil Bove to serve as interim Acting DAG in case the Senate drag their feet on confirmations. This makes a very quick transition period in Main Justice with President Trump officials immediately taking charge. (Statement)With nominated Attorney General Matt Gaetz as the Mother of all Bombs (MOAB), in comes the insurance policy, Todd Blanche, as the A-10 Warthog strafing the scattering Lawfare members.
Local news outlets in Colorado Springs received a shocking email in late April of last year: A photo and video of a burning cross and a campaign sign of mayoral candidate Yemi Mobolade, a native of Nigeria, defaced with the N-word in red spray paint.
“What has this city come to?!” read the email, signed only by “Citizens of Colorado Springs.” This, according to the email, was “another one of their tactics to keep Yemi out.”
The writer then opined on who was likely behind the racist message: supporters of Mobolade’s opponent, center-right Republican Wayne Williams. “Candidate Wayne Williams is pushing hard to win this candidacy
Eva Longoria fled 'dystopian' America and is 'privileged' to now be living in Mexico and Spain with her family.
The Texas born actress, who has spent her 'whole adult life' in California, says she feels the American 'chapter in my life is done now' and no longer wants to live in Los Angeles, alleging the city has been 'changing'.
Longoria, who has Spanish citizenship, and her producer husband José Bastón, a native of Mexico, have been living abroad with their six-year-old son Santiago while she works on her CNN miniseries Searching for Spain - a follow up to last year's Searching for Mexico.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will nominate Doug Burgum to be secretary of the Department of the Interior.
“He’s going to head the Department of Interior and he’s going to be fantastic,” Trump said of the North Dakota governor. Trump, 78, indicated that he will make a “formal announcement” regarding Burgum on Friday.

The Pentagon has released a new report on UFOs that revealed hundreds of documented incidents of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAPs).
While there is no evidence to suggest that these UAPs - the government's term for UFOs - are of extraterrestrial origin, some defy explanation, including a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York.
The report comes as public interest in UAPs has skyrocketed, prompting the US government to work to provide some answers about these strange objects.
Legacy media network, CNN, suffered its worst rating in a key demographic for the first time in a quarter of a century as employees fear more layoffs are coming.
A critical demographic for network news channels are those aged 25 to 54, and on Tuesday - a week after the 2024 presidential election - CNN averaged 61,000 viewers in that range.
It was the smallest of audience viewers in that demographic since June 27, 2000, when Bill Clinton was in the White House.

The stunning victory of Donald Trump has establishment media desperately reassessing their “Abandon all principles to elect Democrats” strategy.
It’s a start.
ABC News, which tried to rig the presidential debate it hosted by fact-checking Trump while repeatedly letting Kamala Harris slide, is in panic mode post-Nov. 5. (Photo) Top brass are trying to bring in more conservative voices — and action item No. 1 is to balance out the lefty insanity spouted by hosts on its popular daytime show “The View.”

Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's controversial pick to lead the Justice Department, could become the attorney general without a Senate confirmation vote through a little-known clause in the Constitution.
In order to become a confirmed Cabinet official, a nominee must receive support from the majority of senators during a floor vote usually following a hearing.
But Trump declared on Truth Social that he wants to use the 'recess appointment' process in order to get his Cabinet picks into office more quickly.
Former President and President-elect Donald Trump made inroads across several demographics, including young voters, and some are revealing why they opted to cast their ballot for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Many young men and women ditched the Democrat Party, ultimately supporting Trump’s America First agenda. There has been much speculation on what, specifically, drew younger voters to the Trump-Vance ticket this time around — from Trump choosing Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), a millennial, as his running mate to the campaign’s embrace of alternative media, attracting younger audiences with appearances on popular podcasts such as Theo Von’s and of course, Joe Rogan’s.
Until the Daily Wire uncovered concrete evidence that the Federal Emergency Management Administration was telling relief workers to avoid Trump-supporting homes, the press was happy to take FEMA’s word and debunk accusations of political favoritism.
Now that the FEMA employee at the center of the current scandal is saying that she’s a scapegoat and that the problem is far deeper and wider, will the mainstream press ignore this too?
In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, FEMA came under attack for its seemingly sluggish response to devastation in heavily Republican areas of the Southeast.
President-elect Donald Trump tapped a longtime ally for his cabinet Thursday, nominating former congressman Doug Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.
A Navy veteran and Air Force Reserve chaplain, Collins, 58, represented rural northern Georgia for eight years before retiring from Congress following an unsuccessful 2020 campaign for the US Senate. He also aided in Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election results in the Peach State.
“We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform,” Trump, 78, said in a statement, “and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need.”

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, is looking for what they described as “small-government revolutionaries” ready to work on what they described as “unglamorous cost-cutting.”
“We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE,” they wrote on X.“We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” DOGE continued, calling on those individuals to DM them their CV and promising that “Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants”:
Donald Trump sent shockwaves through the Republican party on Wednesday night with his announcement that he'll nominate Matt Gaetz as his Attorney General in a bold test of his unchecked power. GOP Senators were stunned by the news the MAGA firebrand Florida Congressman was picked for one of the most senior roles in Trump's second administration in a sign they could try and block his confirmation. (snip)Trump's nomination of Gaetz sets up an immediate loyalty test days after the president-elect sent a signal to Senate leaders by demanding power to make 'recess appointments' on his own when Congress is out of town.
A Los Angeles County, California, high school teacher is reportedly under fire for storming out of her classroom at the sight of a student wearing a “Make America Great Again” shirt last week.
In an email sent later to students, obtained by the Daily Mail, the teacher said it is unfair for one group to be able to espouse “racist, misogynistic, antisemite, and homophobic” views: (X) Complaining that teachers “are NOT allowed to express their political views,” she went on to decry the “MAGA shirts” that “represent a deep hatred of minorities, women, non-christian, and LGBTQ+.” According to the teacher, wearing merchandise supporting President-elect Donald Trump is “a HATE crime
ABC News is in “panic mode” to hire some Donald Trump supporters for The View and other ABC News programming.
This will never happen, at least not on The View, but the New York Post has been told that “ABC News brass are in ‘panic mode’ as they hunt for conservative voices to balance the rabid anti-Trump rhetoric spewed by the hosts on The View, as well as those on other shows.” After “last week’s rout by the former president,” the report continues, ABC News executives had “intense sit-downs with executive producers of the network’s various shows and other senior editorial leaders.” “First on the agenda,

The Pentagon is in “absolute disarray” with “generals scrambling” due to the incoming Trump administration’s plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources.
One source compared it to a hornet’s nest being kicked over and that “DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites.”
“They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related,” the source said.
Another source said people are trying to find out if they are on the list to be cut. “They are in panic mode,” the source said.
Conservatives are feeling pretty good about the 2024 election, but two things happened.
1. The margin of victory decisively beat the ‘margin of steal’. Despite the “elections are hopeless” blackpillers, you can ‘stop the steal’ by beating the margin of fraud. The problem is that this is like going into a game knowing that you have to win by 8 to win by 2. And if you win by 4, you lose.
2. Some election integrity wins (although far too limited). These included a ban on letting the Dems find and count ‘undated’ ballots until they win the election in Pennsylvania. This is the most common and pernicious form of fraud.
President-elect Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday night to perform a rendition of 'God Bless America' alongside opera singer Christopher Macchio. The event took place as Musk joined Trump and other supporters for election night celebrations. The duo's impromptu duet quickly gained traction on social media after being shared by Trump's aide, Margo Martin. Notably, the performance came just a day after Trump announced Elon Musk's new role leading the Department of Government Efficiency in his administration, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.
Under fire from critics including her hometown Chicago newspaper, Oprah Winfrey is now seeking to explain the $1 million fee paid to her production company for a town hall event supporting Kamala Harris.
Before the election, Winfrey's Harpo Productions helped stage a star-studded town hall event for the vice president in Michigan as the billionaire entertainment mogul enthusiastically endorsed Harris to be the next president of the United States.
The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.
MINNEAPOLIS — Several business owners at the struggling corner where George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020 are suing the city to demand it take over their properties and compensate them. The owners of the Cup Foods convenience store and other businesses operating near 38th Street and Chicago Avenue argue that the city’s failure to address deterioration and crime in the neighborhood has ruined their businesses and constitutes an unlawful taking of their property without just compensation, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported Thursday. They’re seeking $30 million in damages. The area, now known as George Floyd
The far-left New York Times admits that at best, all those celebrity endorsements failed to “move the needle” for Kamala Harris and might have even “backfired.”
“Old-School Celebrities Could Not Move the Needle,” reads the headline, followed by this sub-headline: “Hollywood endorsements, once an essential part of a campaign playbook, may have backfired in this election.” Yeah, why people weren’t interested in what Beyoncé and Oprah and Harrison Ford had to say when eggs cost $4.00 a dozen is a real whodunit.

Two federal judges postponed trials for January 6 defendants on Thursday after Trump won the 2024 presidential election in a landslide.
Judges Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee and Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee, delayed the trials because they don’t want to use resources if Trump is going to pardon J6ers as promised.
According to the Justice Department, approximately 944 January 6 defendants – mostly peaceful first-time offenders – have received sentences for their activity at the US Capitol.
One of the lessons learned in the first Trump administration is that you can't put a regular swamp creature into a position of power and expect him or her to go up against the entrenched machine to the degree necessary. Washington pros still place too much trust in the establishment — or more to the point, the people within the apparatus. And they still play by the old rules.
So Trump has come up with an ingenious way to squish-proof top officials in his incoming administration: He's placing people in charge of agencies and departments who were personally targeted by those agencies and departments.
Walmart's clever technological solution

to stop shoplifting without annoying honest customers replies
Walmart is testing technology which would allow customers unlock secured display cases with their cell phones.
In the past few years, Walmart and other major retailers have increasingly locked up items in-store in a bid to prevent shoplifting.
The move has been controversial, with many customers complaining about having to wait for an employee to unlock the shelves in order to retrieve their items.
To speed up the process, Walmart is testing tech in a few hundred stores which allows cases to be unlocked using a cellphone, rather than by hand, Bloomberg reported.
Progressives have responded in extraordinary ways since Donald Trump secured a whopping 312 Electoral College votes to win the presidency for a second time. Some have thrown temper tantrums. Others have expressed elitist disdain. And some have decried the 75.6 million Americans who voted for Trump as uneducated, sexist and racist. Leftists' inability for self-reflection, along with their self-righteousness and delusional sense of superiority, have been stunning to observe in the wake of the Republican Party's sweeping victory.
JACKSON, Miss. — For out-of-state developers hoping to bring a win to Mississippi’s capital, their pitch was flat.
The city had long been searching for someone to develop part of downtown Jackson, and when two men showed up expressing their interest in late February, City Council member Virgi Lindsay agreed to meet with them at an upscale steakhouse in a nearby suburb.
But they had “no vision,” Lindsay said in an interview, and they were short on details. She could not recall whether they even offered a business card.
Rev. Al Sharpton announced that he is organizing a rally in Washington on Jan. 20, coinciding with both the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday.
The outspoken Trump critic announced the rally on MSNBC earlier this week.
“While Trump supporters will be on one side of Washington watching him take the oath of office, I will be at the nation’s capital working to keep the dream alive,” Sharpton said. “There has never been a more important time to peacefully organize and mobilize.”
In 2017, the largest anti-Trump rallies in Washington were held one day after his inauguration.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was fact-checked on Wednesday by The Washington Post for claiming that fewer migrants came into the U.S. under President Biden than under President-elect Trump's first term.
"I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump," Pelosi told The New York Times during a recent interview. "It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what [Sen.] Bernie’s [Sanders] talking about, and that’s what [Sen.] Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that."
Back in July, it was George Clooney who was instrumental in having President Joe Biden ousted from the race, weeks after hosting a fundraiser for his reelection campaign in Los Angeles. As we know, Biden was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, who still lost to President-elect Donald Trump. Sarah covered at the time last week how many were actually thanking Clooney for getting Trump elected. Now, the Hollywood actor says he's taking a step back from politics.
Something seemed up when, last week, Clooney was all too happy to discuss People's "Sexiest Man Alive," with no mention of politics. He won the award twice, in 1997 and 2006.
Has anyone informed Joe Biden that he's leaving the White House in January?
Plenty of outgoing presidents have indeed taken a few last shots, sometimes literally on their way out the door; that seems to be a favored time for signing pardons, for instance. But in one such move that's something of a head-scratcher, Joe Biden is imposing a new tax on the oil and gas industry - this one on methane emissions.
President Biden's Environmental Protection Agency finalized a new rule Tuesday, taxing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector.
The new tax was born out of Biden's sweeping climate legislation
The New York Times followed a Frank Luntz focus group of 13 young undecided voters over the course of the campaign, the oldest of whom was 27.
What they found out from their coverage of them is rather fascinating and pretty hopeful, because it appears that the group coming up does largely get it. By the election, they had two for Kamala, four who went in different directions, and seven who voted for Trump.
Townhall's Guy Benson broke down the article and observed the word "phony" was applied to Harris "over and over again" and her campaign was referred to as "empty."

Donald Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump says she would 'love' to serve in the Senate after her name got floated for the powerful appointment to succeed Marco Rubio, who is Trump's choice to be the next secretary of state.
'This is my home state now and has been for three years,' she told Fox News host Sean Hannity, a friend and advisor to the president-elect, during an appearance on his prime time show.
Donald Trump made his daughter-in-law co-chair of the Republican National Committee, and she crowed about the GOP's performance during a cycle when the party captured the White House and the Senate, while holding a narrow House majority.
Nikki Haley, a failed presidential candidate and former ambassador to the United Nations, tried to smear President-elect Donald Trump as “shallow” after he stated he would not offer her a position in his second administration.
The comment appears to expose Haley’s resentment of Trump, who defeated her in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race. Haley dropped out in March after Super Tuesday.
She eventually said she would vote for Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the months leading up to Election Day, but the endorsement did not cause Trump to bring Haley on the campaign trail as a surrogate, angering many establishment Republicans.
After Trump defeated Harris in a landslide,
Israel could have America’s backing to annex the West Bank under a Trump administration, according to former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who President-elect Donald Trump has named to be his ambassador to Israel.
After his selection was announced, Huckabee spoke to Israel’s Army Radio about his nomination, according to the Times of Israel.
During the interview, he was asked if the West Bank — land formerly claimed by Jordan that Israel won during the 1967 Six-Day War — could be annexed by Israel.
“Well, of course,” Huckabee said. “I won’t make the policy. I will carry out the policy of the president.”
Russia made an audacious public attempt to blackmail the incoming U.S. president, according to a military expert.
Vladimir Putin and his ministers are already trying to mess with Donald Trump's head when Kremlin intelligence chief Nikolai Patrushev claimed in an interview that Trump had "relied on certain forces" to win a second term in the White House and warned that he had "corresponding obligations" that he was "obliged to fulfill," wrote Slate columnist Fred Kaplan.
Eva Longoria says she’s anxious and nervous for Americans who can’t “escape” their “dystopian country” following President-elect Trump’s White House win.
“The shocking part is not that he won,” Longoria told Marie Claire in an interview for its November cover story conducted two days after Trump triumphed in the presidential race.
“It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office,” said Longoria, who campaigned for Vice President Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August.
“I would like to think our fight continues,” the former “Desperate Housewives” star said. But,

The last few years have been totally mind-boggling. Absolutely nothing has made sense from the number of genders and pronouns seeming to grow bigger every day to the fact that men could now play as women in sporting events. It was now acceptable to believe that men(?) could be pregnant and a tampon machine could be allowed in boys' locker rooms. Total madness has become the norm, especially in Hollywood with dimwitted stars helping their minor children transition into another gender while considering themselves self-righteously supportive instead of being responsible parents.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey's final days in office read like a cautionary tale about the dangers of political evolution. His inbox overflows with increasingly desperate fundraising pleas – "Some bad news," "More bad news," "To avoid catastrophe" – while his campaign has embraced an unlikely role: election truther. The three-term senator now spams supporters daily, begging for $5 contributions to fund recounts against Republican Dave McCormick, whose narrow victory most media outlets have already confirmed.
The collapse of Casey's careful political balancing act offers a masterclass in how not to navigate America's shifting electoral landscape.
By taking more of the Hispanic vote than any Republican since the U.S. government created the ethnic category in 1977, President-elect Donald Trump has dismantled a coalition that the Left had expected to ride to power throughout the 21st century. That alone bodes well for conservative governance.
Voters who self-identified as Hispanic broke for Trump at an astonishing 46% rate, which means the actual percentage is likely higher if these early estimates hold. Hispanic men in particular voted for him at a 55-45 rate. These votes might have cost Vice President Kamala Harris the election.

Israel was supposed to launch retaliatory strikes against Iran. They never came. Days and weeks have passed, and it’s clear why the airstrikes, marketed as unprecedented and lethal, were halted. Someone leaked the plans for the strikes. It came from the Pentagon last October. Now, we’ve learned of the individual who was part of this breach: His name is Asif W. Rahman.

Donald Trump could be set to launch one of the biggest crackdowns on unhealthy eating in American history.
Despite being the biggest fast food lover to ever be elected president, a doctor tipped to play a key advisory role in the incoming administration claims that won't stop him attempting to change US diets for the better.
Dr Aseem Malhotra is a British cardiologist who has appeared on podcasts with Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson and has close ties to Robert F Kennedy Junior.
On these pages and elsewhere, writers have offered compelling evidence of another shooter and possible U.S. intelligence community involvement in JFK’s assassination, while other writers have rejected this narrative because too many people would have had to know and someone in the know would have spilled the beans.
I don’t know enough to comment on the former, but I do have thoughts on the latter.
There are at least five reasons why no one might spill the beans:
The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media.
This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the 2020 election
‘Climate change is the challenge of our lifetimes,” we in the energy-hungry West often hear when lectured by leftist government officials and their allies pushing the “Net-Zero” religion. But what happens if much of the vital data behind the climate-change threat are made up?
Turns out, quite a lot of it is. At least that’s what the Daily Sceptic, a British-based science watchdog, claims. It recently detailed the allegations made by an independent journalist showing that 103 of the 302 supposed “weather stations” that provide data for both the United Kingdom government’s and academic scientists’ climate change forecasts don’t exist or produce actual data.
That’s right.

In a video posted on X on November 7, 2024, two days after the election, Trump detailed a plan to dismantle the Deep State. In this three-minute video, Trump explained how he would take a series of measures to “shatter the Deep State.”
In this video, Trump made the same mistake JFK made when JFK said he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. By announcing his intention in advance, JFK signed his death warrant. Trump has now declared war on the Deep State as president-elect.
Will the last Florida Republican who leaves Congress for the Trump administration please turn out the lights?
That’s one takeaway from President-elect Donald Trump’s slam-dunk selection of Panhandle Rep. Matt Gaetz for his second-term attorney general.
As opposed to his first-term AGs, Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, there is no doubt where the always-quotable congressman falls with his legal and political philosophy.
He is, from beginning to end, a pit-bull defender of Donald Trump, in good times, in bad times and everything in between.
At a low point for Trump reputationally, for example, as Republicans lined up to begin what some actually thought would be a post-
Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House, completing the party’s sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside President-elect Donald Trump.
A House Republican victory in Arizona, alongside a win in slow-counting California earlier Wednesday, gave the GOP the 218 House victories that make up the majority. Republicans earlier gained control of the Senate from Democrats.
With hard-fought yet thin majorities, Republican leaders are envisioning a mandate to upend the federal government and swiftly implement Trump’s vision for the country.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to crack down on the southern border and deport those here illegally.
But the million-dollar question left by the Biden administration: Just how many people is that?
A recent House Judiciary report says that “For almost four years, Americans have watched as President Joe Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have abandoned the southwest border and welcomed nearly 8 million illegal aliens into the United States.”
But that 8 million is likely an undercount — and perhaps by a lot.
The House Committee on Homeland Security estimated in the spring that there would have been 10 million encounters during Biden’s four-year term.
The elitist attacks on Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth show exactly why Democrats lost the election in a landslide.
Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet.
Not only that, but he has a tattoo of “We the People” on his arm, a visible sign of his America First commitment to the Constitution, whose first words remind us that America at its founding rejected rule by elites.
She was afraid of stirring the progressive pot.
Joe Rogan claimed the Harris-Walz campaign drew a red line on talk about “marijuana legalization” for the interview that never happened — while aides said the sit-down was kiboshed over fears of progressive backlash.
“I think they had requirements on things that she didn’t want to talk about. She didn’t want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious,” the popular podcaster revealed on his Tuesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
The Harris-Walz campaign had reached out to Rogan’s management about doing an interview with him after it broke that President-elect Donald Trump
The billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times gave a bizarre defense for his plans to overhaul the “very left” editorial board after he blocked it from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong said Harris’ support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza was one of the main reasons he refused to endorse the Democrat and said he wants to hire more conservative voices — an odd view considering that the majority of conservatives back the Jewish state’s war against Hamas terrorists.
Nevertheless, Soon-Shiong insisted he was seeking a better “balance” after vowing to replace the remaining members of the editorial board who did not quit
When doing a rundown of what his model did and did not show in the weeks before the election, Nate Silver made an observation that deserves to be noticed.
In a piece about the virtues and vices of his model--it didn't PREDICT the outcome, but the most frequent outcome it spit out turned out to be the final result--Silver inserted what he called a "mini-rant" about the reaction he got from Democrats and Republicans to his ongoing analyses.
It struck him that Republicans and Democrats took a very different approach to reading and reacting to his newsletters:
Even though our forecast was near 50/50 for almost the whole race,
