When Kamala Harris finally conceded after Donald Trump’s decisive victory, she defiantly proclaimed “While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign…That is a fight I will never give up.” What is she talking about? Harris’ campaign focused on only two topics: Donald Trump is an unhinged, unstable dangerous fascist, and unfettered abortion is good. She was fluent about, and committed to these concerns. But, what else was fueling the fight?

If someone asked her to explain that,she probably would not be able to do it. She is an empty suit.

Don't be fooled. Demonrats do "Get It!" This is SOP for them, which is lie, cheat and steal even after the election was so decisive. Their willing accomplices in the press are still there to propagate their lies. The only reason these clowns "won" Senate seats in swing states is because of fraudulent ballots, and the only states the Cackler won were those that don't have voter ID. Nope. Don't be fooled by any of this. It's still full steam ahead on the Demonrat lie, cheat and steal front. Btw, another assassination attempt (or more) on President Trump will happen. Bank on it!

They have these crazed notions, disconnected from measurable, provable reality and a substantial number just won't budge. Wake up and smell the reality, or be forever lost in space. Reality: Violent criminals aren't going away, we need active, strong policing to keep them in check. Reality: there are two sexes and one cannot EVER convert to the other. Males should never be permitted in female sports. Reality: Windmills and solar panels will never be able to provide enough steady, reliable grid power. NEVER. And while they are failing to do the job, they cost 3-5 times what proven nuclear or coal or natural gas central power plants cost. Reality: ALL transportation modes will continue to be primarily powered by gasoline or diesel fuel for the foreseeable future, like 50 years or more. Chemical batteries, no matter how 'new and improved' still have small fraction of the energy density of gas or diesel fuel and are forever very, very slow to recharge. Reality: about the year 2000 when cars had catalytic converters standard, the exhaust gases from the tailpipe were cleaner than the air that went into the air cleaner. Cars were cleaning up the air, not polluting it. We need to roll back to about 2000 and permanently freeze automotive emissions regulations at that level. NEVER tighten them, and leave fuel economy as a customer choice as it always has been. NO mandated fuel economy regulations. Come to these realities and stop with your fantasies. These realities are hard, measurable and fixed. Your fantasies are unrealistic, unattainable pipe dreams. Abandon them.

The RNC needs to find a good reply to the Democrat scare tactics with abortion. Especially in places like CA where they have unfettered abortion as a Constitutional Amendment since 2022. SCOTUS ruled abortion is a State issue, no one will be enacting a national ban, period. Yet, the Democrats ran non-stop ads about abortion and how X House candidate would support a national ban - ZERO response from RNC. I will bet the few House seats they flipped back were largely due to those ads and how many CA voters don't realize that was not an actual issue any longer but voted out of the possible fear.

Sadly, the Dem Machine in CA will gladly seat Harris in the Governor's Mansion in 2026 - unless they already have another candidate chosen. It doesn't matter what the voters want, they'll do whatever it takes to cheat their way to victory.

South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune on Sunday threatened to slap the International Criminal Court (ICC) with sanctions if it did not drop its application for an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Thune – who was selected Wednesday to be the next Senate Majority Leader once the GOP takes the upper chamber come January 2025 – warned that if the current Democratic leader does not take on the international court, he will. "If the ICC and its prosecutor do not reverse their outrageous and unlawful actions to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli officials, the Senate should immediately pass sanctions legislation, as the House has already done

Senate Republicans opted to delay votes and draw out floor action on Monday night after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sought to stack additional judicial confirmation votes on the calendar ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Two sources familiar told Fox News Digital that the plan to slow down the Senate was spearheaded by Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., who was recently elected as the next Republican Senate leader.

MSNBC staffers are lashing out at "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after they shocked their liberal viewers by revealing their recent Mar-a-Lago meeting with President-elect Donald Trump. "Cowardice," one MSNBC employee reacted to Fox News Digital. "Doing exactly what [anti-Trump historian] Tim Snyder warns on our air not to do: obey in advance. It’s disgusting but frankly unsurprising." The source said MSNBC's rank and file are now "largely disdainful" of the network's morning stars, saying it "feels like they are just opportunistic.”

Senate Republicans slammed their Democrat counterparts in the chamber for moving forward with a "partisan" Homeland Security appropriations bill that they say has "substantial flaws" and will leave the incoming Trump administration without the resources they need to fix the border crisis. Senate Committee on Appropriations ranking member Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement that Democrats' leadership has led to a "unilateral decision from the Majority to post a partisan measure on a critical appropriations bill that is meant to help secure our borders and combat the surge of deadly fentanyl and other illegal narcotics flooding our communities."

While the nomination of Pete Hegseth stunned me at first, upon further reflection its genius became clear. Donald Trump isn’t bringing Pete Hegseth, a decorated Infantry major and longtime Fox host, into the Pentagon to don the green eye shades and closely manage every element of the military behemoth like a reborn Robert McNamara. Trump hired Hegseth to channel George Patton and apply a jump boot to the buttocks of our deadweight military along with an injection of combat arms leadership and attitude.

Trump was elected in part on promises to avoid “endless wars” of the sort that cost American blood and treasure in Afghanistan and Iraq but without resulting in strategic advantage or civilized calm.Yet as a Jacksonian, Trump also restored American deterrence through punitive strikes against ISIS and terrorist thugs like Baghdadi and Soleimani—without being bogged down in costly follow-ups. During the last four administrations, Putin stayed within his borders only during the Trump four years.

There’s almost nothing worse than getting dumped. You’ve done everything right. You had all the money in the world — a billion dollars!

Well, it turns out 76 million people. This wasn’t just a “don’t call me, I’ll call you” or “we can still be friends” or “maybe someday in the future we could…” No, this was a “get lost, lose my number, forget you ever knew me” kind of break-up. The Democrats aren’t handling it well, to put it mildly.

The 2024 presidential election was not simply a contest of personalities or parties; it was a decisive stand taken by Americans against a set of ideologies and social constructs that have increasingly dominated the national conversation. This wasn’t just about whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump won or lost. It was about a clear rejection of divisive, impractical, and sometimes destructive ideas that have reshaped the fabric of our society in ways that feel fundamentally out of step with the values of the vast majority.

On this very terrain, four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a Republican Congress and the public on his side. You most clearly see a broken election system when the margins are extremely tight. We saw it in 2020 when approximately 40,000 votes in key states tipped the election, and not so much in 2024. But rest assured, the public still lacks confidence in the integrity of our elections

Since Election Day, the Trump transition has been copying and pasting the same quote again and again into emails to reporters seeking comment on this or that presidential appointment. “President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon,” Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt always writes without fail. “Those decisions will be announced when they are made.” The boilerplate delivers an obvious truth that many in Washington, D.C., find uncomfortable or, in some cases, unimaginable: The president-elect alone, not his senior staff, and certainly not any outside organization, is calling the shots.

It’s high time to shatter the myth of Nancy Pelosi as a master strategist. Nobody deserves more blame than the ridiculously self-titled “speaker emerita” for the Democrats’ $1 billion electoral collapse. Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough. Voters rejected the Dems coast to coast, even in Pelosi’s deepest-blue home city of San Francisco, which saw a 7-point swing to Donald Trump. She’s the only speaker in history to have lost control of the House twice. She’s finished.

Leftists have a master plan to ensure that President-elect Donald Trump’s economy tanks: They are not going to buy anything. Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas. There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.

Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, a lawyer for the two women told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday. Additionally, one of the women testified to the congressional panel that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with her then-underage friend in 2017, the lawyer, Joel Leppard, said on “OutFront.” CNN reported that detail Friday. Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leppard said it was his client’s testimony that she did not believe Gaetz knew at the time that her friend was underage.

In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments.

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.
