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.

billionaire Alex Soros in order to ‘understand
his goals’ replies
Elon Musk wants to sit down with Democrat megadonor Alex Soros in order to “understand his goals” — despite having likened his father George Soros to a comic book villain.
The Tesla boss, who has become a key member of President-elect Donald Trump’s inner circle, said he’s “curious to meet” with Alex Soros — whose Open Society Foundations has funded progressives around the country.
Soros, 39, had posted a message on Musk’s social media platform X in response to a left-wing journalist who wrote in The Nation that Trump can’t claim to have a “powerful mandate” to rule given that he did not win a majority of votes cast for president.
On Wednesday, as Mia has been covering, Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was found guilty on all counts for the murder of Laken Riley. President-elect Donald Trump was quick to offer his response over Truth Social and X following the verdict.
"JUSTICE FOR LAKEN RILEY! The Illegal who killed our beloved Laken Riley was just found GUILTY on all counts for his horrific crimes," Trump declared. "Although the pain and heartbreak will last forever, hopefully this can help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s parole pipeline has welcomed roughly 1.4 million migrants into American cities and towns — surpassing the margins of victory in swing states in this year’s presidential election.
This week, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released figures for October showing that Biden and Harris’s parole pipeline is continuing to release tens of thousands of migrants into the U.S. interior via the southern border and commercial flights every month.
Marjorie Taylor Greene cunningly used a rant about new transgender lawmaker Sarah McBride to corner Speaker Mike Johnson into banning her from using the women's restroom.
Coming out of the private meeting with GOP leadership on Tuesday, Greene ripped into a reporter asking about her opposition to Representative-elect McBride using the women's restroom in the Capitol.
'If you're going to ask stupid questions, don't advocate for mentally ill men pretending to be women invading our spaces,' she shot back at the female reporter.

While the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to the chaos at America’s southern border, Texas has stepped up as a beacon of law and order. Governor Greg Abbott and his state have fiercely battled against the illegal immigration surge.
The Lone Star State is taking proactive steps to root out this major threat targeting American communities, companies, and individuals.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday his intention to ban biological males who identify as transgender women from using women’s bathrooms and locker rooms on Capitol Hill.
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson said in a statement.
“It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol. Women deserve women’s only spaces.”

After the co-anchors of MSNBC’s Morning Joe announced Monday that they had met with president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago the previous Friday as part of what they dubbed a “new approach” for covering him, many viewers of the program turned their focus elsewhere, according to Nielsen data.
The numbers, obtained by Mediaite, show that after Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski broke the news shortly after 6 a.m., 38 percent of those in the 25-54 demographic had stopped watching by the next hour. Given the show’s early morning time slot, viewership typically rises from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. President Joe Biden has been known to tune in regularly.
Some in the scientific community are shocked and dismayed. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the Centers for Disease Control, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and other federal health agencies. Are their concerns warranted? Or, are they hypocritical?
Kennedy’s three stated goals for the federal health agencies are (i) evidence-based medicine, (ii) clean up corruption and conflicts of interest, and (iii) end the chronic disease epidemic, with special emphasis on our children and concrete results within two years. These are not only laudable goals, but urgent ones.

Billionaire tech titan Elon Musk is now President-elect Donald Trump’s closest confidant, sources are telling The Post.
The relationship is so close, one source spilled, that Trump, 78, has been running nearly every cabinet pick by Musk — despite having a whole transition team at his beck and call. The former president ultimately has the final decision, but thoroughly enjoys Musk’s company and insight while compiling his second administration.

Target on Wednesday missed Wall Street’s quarterly earnings and revenue expectations and posted only a slight uptick in customer traffic, despite the discounter’s price cuts on thousands of items and its early holiday sale. (Snip) Target now expects fourth-quarter comparable sales to be approximately flat. That metric, which is also known as same-store sales, includes sales on its website and stores open at least 13 months. Target fell short of Wall Street’s earnings per share estimate by 20%, its biggest miss in two years. It also marked its first revenue miss since August 2023. The company’s shares plunged more than
Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham gave an update Wednesday about his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Attorney General, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz.
"I had a very good meeting with President Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, and Vice President-elect JD Vance. I am committed to allowing the process to go forward in a manner consistent with past practices and fundamental fairness.

Make no mistake, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) isn't going to back down on her efforts to keep biological men out of women's bathrooms.
As RedState's Bonchie reported Tuesday:
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has started a firestorm by introducing a resolution to ban "trans women" from using women's restrooms on Capitol Hill.
Democrats are accusing Mace of targeting Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE), a biological male who identifies as a "woman." McBride will be seated with the new Congress in January after winning the election in Delaware's at-large district. Mace, who is a rape survivor, said her resolution is about "standing up against the left's systemic erasure of biological women."
An illegal alien Tren de Aragua gang member has been convicted on all counts for murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia in February of this year. The felon had been released from the southern border into the United States by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration and given a work permit. On Wednesday, an Athens judge found Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal alien from Venezuela, guilty of murdering Laken Riley after stalking her on an early morning jog around the University of Georgia (UGA) campus on Feb. 22, 2024.
Undocumented migrant Jose Ibarra has been found guilty of the murder of nursing student Laken Riley.
Ibarra, 26, who had pleaded not guilty to the 22-year-old's February 2023 murder near the University of Georgia stared coldly as the verdict was read while his victim's family sobbed in court.
He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of all 10 counts against him; prosecutors declined to seek the death penalty in the case.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Matthew G. Whitaker, former Acting Attorney General and Iowa native, will serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Change is coming to the U.S. Senate. Next year, Republicans will take control, relegating Democrats to the minority party. After two years of ramming through their agenda, Democrats now face the grim reality of having to play defense.

Dem Pakistan Assets

Florida Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz is charging that Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump’s pick for Director of National Intelligence, is “likely a Russian asset.” Gabbard isn’t, but there is evidence that Wasserman Schultz and other Democrats are likely assets for Pakistan.
Of all the IT people in all the IT firms in all the world, Wasserman Schultz believed Imran Awan was best man for the job. Sometimes working from his native Pakistan, Awan and his family team – none qualified for IT work – accessed the computers of some 40 Democrats, including those on the intelligence and foreign affairs committees. Without their consent, Awan and his team stashed the Democrats’
The United States closed its embassy in Kyiv on Nov. 20 and warned American citizens in Ukraine to be ready to swiftly seek shelter after receiving “specific information of a potential significant air attack.”
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy will be closed, and Embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place,” a statement published on the embassy’s official website stated.
The embassy also urged Americans in Ukraine to follow the directions of Ukrainian officials and first responders in the event of an emergency and to monitor local media.
Ukraine has fired British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles into Russia for the first time. Fragments of the bunker-busting rockets were found in the village of Marine, Kursk on Wednesday. [Snip] Up to 12 missiles were launched by a Ukrainian aircraft, according to reports. Britain's Storm Shadow missiles are a nightmare for enemies as they are capable of dodging air defences. The £800,000 weapons - which were already being fired within Ukraine - use GPS to precisely hit targets, and can travel at 600mph. A clip shared online recorded the sound of several missiles flying toward the Kursk region.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he won’t make a clemency decision on the murder convictions of Erik and Lyle Menendez until newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman reviews the nearly 35-year-old case.
In October, prosecutors submitted a recommendation for the brothers’ resentencing on the murder conviction in the 1989 killings of their parents in their Beverly Hills home. George Gascón, the current district attorney, asked a judge to impose a new sentence 50 years to life, which could make them eligible for parole immediately.

Deep State Invites Nuclear War
replies
Tuesday is the 1,000th day of the Russia-Ukraine War, and the Deep State irresponsibly escalates it further by authorizing Ukraine’s Zelensky to launch American-made ATACMS long-range missiles against targets within Russia. Pronounced “attack ’ems,” ATACMS was supplied to Ukraine by the pro-war, globalist military elite in Washington, D.C. Ukraine quickly used a half-dozen of these missiles on Tuesday against Russian military stockpiles, which appears to be only the beginning. Soon U.S. missiles costing more than a million dollars apiece could rain down on Russia, perhaps eventually against cities, as Ukraine has forced teenagers into its army and kids may be picking the targets as in a video game.

Senate Republicans aired frustrations Tuesday after Vice President-elect Vance and other party members skipped votes Monday, greasing the skids for Democratic-backed judicial nominees to be greenlighted as part of a final push to fill the bench with lifetime appointees before President-elect Trump takes office.
Republicans on Monday attempted to slow down an effort by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to advance more than a dozen judicial nominees, which Democrats have prioritized before ceding power at year’s end.
Republicans on Tuesday ripped JD Vance, Marco Rubio and others for their absences from the chamber, which allowed Senate Democrats to ram through key Biden judicial nominees.
Vance (R-OH), the vice president-elect, and Rubio (R-FL), Donald Trump’s choice for secretary of State, weren’t the only GOP senators missing, but they were singled out. Asked about the absences of several GOP senators who could have blocked President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees from moving forward, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) fumed.
“I’m not going to bubble wrap it,” he told reporters in the Capitol. “There’s no excuse for that, it’s our job to be here and vote.”
Both before the November 5 presidential election and after, there’s been plenty of talk about President Joe Biden stepping down and making Vice President Kamala Harris America’s first female president. Despite ardent backing from Democratic Party stalwarts, the idea isn’t a popular one, as the latest I&I/TIPP poll indicates.
Some Democrat activists, humbled by the Electoral College drubbing they took from former (and soon to be current) President Donald Trump, have pushed hard to have the age-hobbled Biden step down from the office of the presidency so that Kamala can take over and make history —
President-elect Trump on Tuesday called for the Senate to stop confirming judges before he is sworn into office, amid a frantic effort from Democrats to confirm President Biden’s nominees.

Senate Democrats held late-night votes Monday to confirm Biden’s picks to the federal judiciary.

One of Joe Scarborough’s favorite words seems to be “hypocrite.”
The aging-hipster MSNBC host of liberal “Morning Joe” frequently blasted Donald Trump for apparent “hypocrisy,” fuming in October he makes hypocritical statements “every day.”
Yet despite their frequent blasts over the last eight years, last Sunday at Mar-a-Lago Scarborough, 61, and co-host wife Mika Brzezinski, 57, met president elect Donald Trump in a bid to settle their differences.
There are those, including Jon Stewart, who believe the term hypocrite would be well applied to Scarborough. A former guest on “Morning Joe,” who spoke anonymously for career reasons, told The Post, “Joe Scarborough has proven yet again that he gives opportunism a bad name.

When Donald Trump shocked the world by winning office in 2016, I was still laboring away among the lefties in corporate America and not yet rescued by PJ Media. Thus, I was subjected daily to the bitter inanities of that political persuasion. Naturally, everything the newly elected president did was the Worst Thing Ever. Then as now, lefties loved to disparage Trump's cabinet picks and other nominees as unqualified and inferior. When he named school choice advocate Betsy DeVos as U.S. Department of Education secretary, for example, my co-workers fumed that under the Trump administration, "experience was clearly not required to hold a high office."
"The censorship cartel must be dismantled," Brendan Carr declared two days before President-elect Donald Trump picked him to chair the Federal Communications Commission. Trump described Carr as "a warrior for Free Speech."
Carr's plans for "reining in Big Tech" understandably appeal to Trump, who has long complained that the leading social media platforms are biased against him. But Carr's agenda is blatantly inconsistent with conservative principles, including limited government, free markets, freedom of speech, and opposition to lawless regulation.
We knew that Democrats and swampy Republicans would never just sit back and allow Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be confirmed as Attorney General for Donald Trump's second administration without a knock-down, drag-out fight, and the shenanigans in the effort to derail the nomination are ramping up. The New York Times reported Tuesday morning that 24 files with "damaging testimony" about Gaetz were obtained by a "hacker," but that so far the hacker has not publicly released any of the information.

Losing an election is a bit like going through the five stages of grief, and Democrats have yet to reach the acceptance stage. That means they still think their opinions matter on what should and shouldn't happen in the incoming Trump administration. They also think their outrage means something.
So what are they mad about now? According to reports, Donald Trump is planning to recall retired military officials so they can be court-martialed for the failures of the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal. The news immediately sent the press and some former generals into an apoplectic rage.

Jen Rubin: ‘Republicans Want to Kill
Your Kids’ (Video) replies
Jen Rubin, a columnist for the Washington Post, has truly lost her mind.
This has been building for several years now. The 2016 election of Donald Trump broke her mind and since then, instead of finally coming to her senses, she has gotten progressively worse. This goes beyond Trump Derangement Syndrome. This woman obviously has serious mental health issues but for some reason, is still employed by the Post.
Rubin was recently doing some sort of podcast type of broadcast, and while offering political advice to the left, suggested saying that Republicans want to kill your kids,
Trump Urges Republican Senators to Block

Biden’s Judicial Nominees: ‘Show Up
and Hold the Line’ replies
President-elect Donald Trump urged Republican senators to remain in Washington to limit Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) ability to process President Joe Biden’s judicial confirmations.
His comments, made on Truth Social, followed Senate Democrats confirming a controversial judge Monday night in a close vote, as well as a handful of other Biden picks. Several Republican senators were absent from the vote.
“The Democrats are trying to stack the Courts with Radical Left Judges on their way out the door,” he said. “Republican Senators need to Show Up and Hold the Line — No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!”
America is back!
President Trump arrived to watch the SpaceX Starship rocket launch with Elon Musk from a base near Boca Chica, Texas on Tuesday afternoon.
Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump Jr., and others joined President Trump at the launch site.

“Once they’re on the run, keep ’em running” is an old cavalry motto — and a strategy Donald Trump seems to have taken to heart.
Democrats are scared and fighting among themselves.
The publishers of newspapers like The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times that used to be hard-left propaganda outlets are now talking about the importance of hearing from both sides. MSNBC and CNN viewership is in freefall; one or the other may wind up being purchased for small change by Elon Musk.
Universities are adopting political neutrality.
This is nice, but will it last? The answer is: Only so long as the pressure is on.
A panel of appellate court judges in Washington, D.C., appeared skeptical on Monday of a longtime journalist’s argument that she should not be held in contempt of court for refusing to disclose her sources.
The three-judge panel grilled former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge’s attorney about the case during oral arguments and appeared poised to agree with a lower court that Herridge should be held in civil contempt. The appellate court’s final decision, which could come any day, could result in Herridge facing hefty daily fines or even jail time.
The so-called 'polling Nostradamus' was served a heavy dose of reality when left-wing pundit Cenk Uygur went haywire over the professor's wildly incorrect call about Kamala Harris defeating Donald Trump.
Allan Lichtman, who has successfully predicted nine out of ten elections since 1984, appeared to be at a loss for words after the 2024 election as he realized his prediction was wrong.
Uygur, the founder of leftist media network The Young Turks, confronted Lichtman on Piers Morgan's show Tuesday.
One of Joe Scarborough’s favorite words seems to be “hypocrite.”
The aging-hipster MSNBC host of liberal “Morning Joe” frequently blasted Donald Trump for apparent “hypocrisy,” fuming in October he makes hypocritical statements “every day.”
Yet despite their frequent blasts over the last eight years, last Sunday at Mar-a-Lago Scarborough, 61, and co-host wife Mika Brzezinski, 57, met president elect Donald Trump in a bid to settle their differences.
There are those, including Jon Stewart, who believe the term hypocrite would be well applied to Scarborough.
China rejected a meeting with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during a conference in southeast Asia this week, marking the latest turn in a tumultuous relationship between the two countries’ defense leaders.
Austin sought to meet with his Chinese counterpart, Dong Jun, at the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting-Plus in Laos as part of a long-standing effort to maintain military lines of communication between the US and the People’s Republic of China. But China did not accept the offer, pointing to a recent Taiwan arms sale as their rationale, a senior defense official told reporters traveling with Austin in Laos.
Three weeks ago, the US approved a $2 billion arms sale to Taiwan,
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned that the Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) is now operating in 16 states and the District of Columbia, according to a report from the New York Post.
An internal memo sent to DHS officials warned that the Tren de Aragua gang had recently been reported in places such as the nation’s capital, Virginia, Montana, and Wyoming. The memo also noted that in places where the Venezuelan immigrant population is increasing, there is more “potential for violent TdA migrants,” according to the outlet.“As the population of Venezuelan nationals continues to increase, the potential for violent TdA migrants is highly probable,”
