Matt Gaetz is the perfect MAGA attorney general

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-

Funny how they claim Trump's picks are unqualified after the freaks Biden put in his cabinet. Does the media still think they control the populations opinion?

Gaetz is leading the race for the nominee the Senate is least likely to confirm.

The timing is interesting. I wonder if its not a strategy to get him out of the House so that DeSantis can appoint another Representative in his place. Gaetz turned in his resignation as soon as the AG nomination was announced and he likely isn't going to get confirmed. Democrats and Republicans do not like him. Plus, with his with his withdrawal from the House, the report on an investigation about his sexual misconduct that was supposed to come out tomorrow, will now not be released, because he's no longer a House member. I wonder if this isn't a strategy by Trump to get him out all together as well as the scandal that follows him,

Gaetz is a bomb-thrower, which is exactly what the Department of Justice needs. This is why getting him confirmed will be tough. As for the ethics committee investigation, it's been going on for three years. If there were anything to these charges, he'd have been gone by now.

I see Gaetz as an anti-Republican bomb thrower, whose biggest fight (unsuccessful) was to keep Johnson out of the Speaker's seat. It appears that Trump has endorsed Johnson for Speaker of the House in the upcoming Congress. Trump has recently stated that he will de-weaponize government, which might prove more difficult with Gaetz in a driver's seat.

On November 5, 2024, a gigantic red wave engulfed America, elevating everything politically red to great heights and largely obliterating everything politically blue in its path. It’s been only a week since the presidential election, but let’s ask the following questions anyway: WHAT DID RED GAIN? The White House — Oval Office. The U.S. Senate. The U.S. House of Representatives. The Electoral College. The popular vote. All seven swing states. State governor majority. State Legislature majority.

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.

‘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.

New Hampshire Republicans are projected to maintain trifecta control of state government heading into 2025, according to preliminary results released this week. Updated vote totals show Republicans expanding their majority in the Granite State’s House of Representatives. As of this article’s publication, Republicans are projected to win at least 203 House seats. The GOP held 197 seats heading into the Nov. 5 contest, compared to Democrats’ 191. Republicans holding their House majority is welcome news after preliminary results last week showed them retaining the state Senate and governor’s mansion. According to The New York Times, Republicans won 16 of the state’s 24 Senate seats,

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.

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.

Special counsel Jack Smith reportedly plans to retire before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January, denying the incoming president a chance to fire him. Smith, who oversaw the federal criminal cases against Trump related to the 78-year-old’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the hoarding of classified documents, is wrapping up his work ahead of the 47th president’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the New York Times reported. Smith’s plan is to get ahead of Trump’s promise to “fire” the special counsel within “two seconds” after being sworn in, sources told the outlet.

Alina Habba, a top ally and former lawyer for President-elect Donald Trump, revealed Tuesday that she would “very seriously” consider an opportunity to serve as his White House press secretary. Habba, 40, was asked multiple times by Fox News host Sean Hannity about a report suggesting that she is “the favorite” for the role and did not rule out the possibility of serving in the incoming administration. “I leave it to the president and the three people that are on my board of directors — that’s Luke, Chloe and Parker, my children.

The historic re-election of Donald Trump as America’s 47th president will have sent shivers down the spine of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader. News that the FBI have arrested 3 people charged with plotting to assassinate Donald Trump under direct instructions from the Iranian regime’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), will have further enraged the president-elect. During his previous term in office Trump cracked down hard on the theocratic regime. He unilaterally withdrew America from President Obama’s deeply flawed nuclear deal with the Iranians. He ramped up sanctions with his ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign, and he ordered the elimination of Iran’s warmongering mastermind,

The FBI’s background investigation (B.I.) process for political nominees has allegedly been corrupted with “improper handling” of sensitive information, according to an investigation by America First Legal (AFL). AFL’s November 7 press release asserts that the mishandling of private information is a “critical” matter” that must be addressed because of the potential to use the B.I. process as a “weapon against future nominees.” It also appears that select staff from the Senate Judiciary Committee “appear to have shared FBI background reports and personal financial information in a breach of Senate security protocols.”

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,

The Harris campaign footed the bill for organizing the town hall and made a $1 million payment to Winfrey's production company, Harpo Productions.

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.
