President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Pam Bondi for attorney general has caused quite a stir, especially among folks on the left who fear that the incoming administration will target Justice Department officials who participated in the politically motivated efforts to prosecute Trump.If current signs are any indication, they have every reason to be afraid.
During an interview with Fox News last year, Bondi said that if Trump wins the election, “The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted, the bad ones.”
Bondi accused the officials of being part of a “deep state” conspiracy,
Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, bragged about curing ballots in California as 2 Democrat candidates pull ahead nearly 3 weeks after Election Day.
This is what happens when ballot harvesting is legal and there is no voter ID.
California shifted red in 2024 with 40% of the voters in the Golden State voting for President Trump. (Maps) Trump carried the down ballot and flipped several blue counties red in California, however, two Democrat candidates have pulled ahead nearly 3 weeks after the election and will likely flip the two seats blue.
The whiplash-inducing, “Hunger Games”-style race to become Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary made it easy for the media to ignore what has been going on with Janet Yellen — and the absolute mess she’s leaving for her successor.
Yellen — who, it was revealed Friday, will be replaced as Treasury secretary in January by hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent — was Joe Biden’s pick to run the office that is essentially the country’s CFO.
Indeed, it could be the most important cabinet position in the White House given the importance of the US economy. Americans put Trump in office largely over his handling of the economy during his first term —
Outgoing President Joe Biden, along with his allies in the political and corporate spheres, has repeatedly proven that he is willing to sacrifice the American taxpayer and the nation’s safety for political gain. After President Donald J. Trump's historic re-election and clear leadership mandate, a potential corruption scandal in the Biden administration is becoming clearer.
The Biden Department of Defense (DOD) appears to have a deeply troubling relationship with Valisure, a controversial medical testing company. Through some questionable contacts and contracts, the DOD has aligned itself with an entity whose financial incentives and loose grasp on scientific integrity jeopardize the well-being of American soldiers and the citizens
Matt Gaetz said he fell victim to a 'smear' campaign that dredged up old and discredited allegations in his first interview since withdrawing his name from consideration as Donald Trump's attorney general.
And he revealed he will not be returning to Congress next year despite having been re-elected to the seat he vacated.
Instead, he told The Charlie Kirk Show, he will now work to recruit the talent that could help underpin the new Trump administration.
President-Elect Donald Trump announced Saturday his appointment of Dr. Sebastian Gorka, former senior Trump administration official and host of the America First podcast, to the White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director of Counterterrorism.
“Since 2015, Dr. Gorka has been a tireless advocate for the America First Agenda and the MAGA Movement, serving previously as Strategist to the president in the first Trump Administration,” Trump said in his announcement.
He added:Dr. Gorka is a legal immigrant to the United States, with more than 30 years of National Security experience.
Federal funding for the country’s largest abortion provider may have had its hey-day after President-elect Donald Trump tapped Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut wasteful spending on useless programs such as transgender and woke DEI— with funding for abortion clinics the first to go. In a joint Wall Street Journal op-ed, Musk and Ramaswamy outlined their plans to cut funding from Planned Parenthood— the nation’s largest abortion clinic.
The two Trump-appointed cabinet picks suggested they are eying everything from "$1.5 billion for grants to international organizations to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.”

Elon Musk has just given the strongest hint yet that he may actually purchase MSNBC.
The troubled left-wing network has seen its ratings nosedive in the wake of Donald Trump’s stunning victory in the 2024 presidential election as furious viewers lash out at the false hope the network gave them or just check out of politics altogether.
Another major controversy has been that involving Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who informed their audience this week that had met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and would seek to take a “new approach” to covering his second term in office.
Former President Bill Clinton has addressed a bizarre claim his staff deliberately tore the letter ‘W’ from White House keyboards to hinder his successor, President George W Bush - and admitted that the long-running allegation might be true.
Writing in his new memoir, Citizen – My Life After The White House, Clinton, 78, recalls how a media ‘feeding frenzy’ marred the handover to Bush in 2001 amid claims departing staff had vandalized the West Wing.
At the time, it was said that filing cabinets were glued shut, obscene messages left on answering machines and pornographic pictures placed on office printers.
The political landscape erupted Thursday evening as President Donald Trump announced Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida and a staunch Trump ally, as his nominee for the next Attorney General of the United States.
Bondi’s nomination follows Rep. Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal, a decision that shocked many in the conservative base.
In his official statement, President Trump lauded Bondi’s impressive record as a prosecutor and her leadership as Florida’s first female Attorney General:
“I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States.
For the first time in the nation’s history, the national debt reached an unprecedented amount, as the Biden-Harris Administration continued to fund foreign wars before their time in the White House ended.The United States national debt surpassed a whopping $36 trillion this week, just over three months since the previous milestone was reached at the end of July.
The mounting debt continues to affect every American, whether at the gas pump, the grocery store, or for everyday necessities. The country’s debt is so astronomical that it may be difficult for Americans to understand its implications.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has declared his willingness to defy federal law and face jail time to protect illegal immigrants—including those with criminal records—from President-elect Donald Trump’s promised deportation efforts.

During a recent interview with Denverite, Johnston unveiled his audacious plan to transform Denver into what he called a “fortress of resistance” against federal immigration efforts.
His strategy includes mobilizing Denver police officers and thousands of residents to form human barricades to block federal authorities from carrying out deportations.

A draft text released Friday from the environmental negotiators at the U.N.’s COP29 climate alarmism summit would demand that wealthy nations commit to gifting poorer countries $250 billion a year between now and 2035.
Climate activists responded to the proposed contribution with outrage, claiming the sum is “paltry” and “a joke.”
COP29 — formally the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — is the 19th edition of the U.N.’s official assembly to discuss how to globally address the alleged climate crisis. It is currently taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, and scheduled to conclude on Friday, though the disagreements over the provisions in the outcome text

The Forever-Tarnished Legacy of Barack Obama

Among the many benefits of Donald Trump’s re-election that our nation and the world are already experiencing is the forever tarnished legacy of Barack Obama. In 2028, will the Democrat candidate want Obama to go on the campaign trail for him or her? I doubt it. Obama's Un-enduring Influence
When he was elected president (assuming that massive Democratic cheating was not in full swing in 2008), Democrats held a commanding 55- to 45-seat majority in the U.S. Senate and an overwhelming 256- to 179-seat majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
With the election in the rearview mirror, things are rightfully shifting from ensuring victory to focusing on delivering results. When the alternative was Kamala Harris, accepting disagreement was not only understandable but paramount. Now that Donald Trump has come out victorious, outcomes matter, and he's about to face his first big test.

One of the most racist, anti-conservative talking liberal heads is at it again with the hateful rhetoric aimed at Trump supporters.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed on Friday that people have a legitimate fear of MAGA supporters and do not feel “safe” around them in a doomsday video message. Reid told her fellow liberals they had a right to be scared of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet choices. “He's put together a cabinet of horrors! People are afraid; they're not just mad because they lost an election,” she said.
Without giving a reason, Reid warned the small amount of viewers she had left that Republicans were going to “control everything.”

As North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims continue to struggle, FEMA reportedly refuses to deploy empty RV trailers to help them.
According to an unnamed N.C. lawmaker, FEMA has multiple empty RV trailers sitting in the N.C. town of Hickory — trailers that critics say could be used to provide housing to those who’ve lost their homes. [Tweet, video]

According to Politico, "Officials fear that Hegseth, whose nomination had already caused controversy due to his opposition to women serving in combat, could also hurt efforts to recruit women into the military."Let's stop the tape for a moment. Hegseth was not "credibly accused of sexual assault." As he said, police investigated the incident, and there were no grounds to charge him.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who, as we reported, was busy dancing happily at a Taylor Swift concert Friday night as pro-Hamas forces rioted on the streets of Montreal, said at a Thursday press conference Thursday that he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested if the premier arrived on Canadian soil. As Tim Walz might say, the guy is just plain “weird.”
His comments come after the ICC embarrassed themselves by issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu as he is engaged in a fight for the survival of Israel against permanent aggressors Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. RedState’s Streiff reported:
Could it happen? Could the Democrats manage to land Kamala Harris in the White House, and not just for a few weeks?
National treasure Dr. Victor Davis Hanson sees a way for them to do that - but it would be an act of pure desperation.
A video of Biden on Tuesday went viral online after the president appeared to wander off a designated path following his speech on climate issues in the Amazon rainforest. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” the senior fellow noted how Harris had flip-flopped on left-wing policies she had advocated for prior to 2020, claiming she was now returning to her “left-wing self”
