over report Trump may ‘disrupt’ briefing
room pecking order replies
The potential for a shakeup left some among the petty press warning of a “boycott” should their ivory towers be toppled with expanded credentialing.
Like the “expert class” and the tenure-protected squatters within the halls of academia, a consensus through shunning differing opinions had ingrained hubris on qualifications. With the foundation of corporate media still rocked from a demonstrated lack of sway over voters for the 2024 election, talk of President-elect Donald Trump allowing podcasters and other alternative media producers into the White House press briefing had some wanting to take the ball, which had never been theirs, and go home.
“I’m sure the association is looking at all of its options,
President-elect Donald Trump is not playing games with Hamas terrorists but MSNBC’s Joy Reid has a problem with his hard-line warning on the release of hostages.
With an estimated 63 hostages, some American, still being held inside Gaza more than one year after the Hamas attack on Israel, Trump is warning the Iranian-backed terrorist group that there will be a reckoning if hostages are not released by the time he is inaugurated in January. This, for the host of “The ReidOut” is akin to a mob boss demand.
Reid’s level of Trump Derangement Syndrome had her blasting the incoming 47th president as a “gangster”
Mitt Romney, who will also be remembered by his weird Twitter pseudonym, Pierre Delecto, gave a farewell address on the Senate Floor Wednesday before leaving Washington and the government, hopefully for good.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Romney announced last year that he wouldn’t seek reelection following two failed Presidential campaigns and one term in the Senate.
This is the best thing Romney, 77, has done in his 30-year political career since his first failed run for Senate in 1994.
In his address, the career politician trashed those “who would tear at our unity” and “replace love with hate,” likely aimed at President Trump.
An Idaho beauty salon owner said she is seeing customers “dropping like flies” after calling supporters of President-elect Donald Trump “racist, homophobic, and misogynistic.”
Tiffney Prickett of Voiage Salon in Coeur d’Alene said she is “suffering the consequences of my own action” in a TikTok video posted days after the November election, saying that one of her longtime clients demanded a refund after she went on an anti-Trump tirade:“So this is me suffering the consequences of my own action. I just had a client send her husband into my salon and demand a refund for gift cards — pre-purchased — because of my stance that if you support
Project Veritas caught Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Advisor Brent Efron on undercover video admitting there is an “insurance policy” against President Trump.
President Trump nominated Lee Zeldin to run the EPA.
“It was an insurance policy against Trump winning,” Brent Efron told Project Veritas undercover journalist.
“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said.
Via Project Veritas:
Efron spoke to a Project Veritas investigative journalist about his role in doling out over $100 billion in grants to nonprofits under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which he dubs “Biden’s climate law.”
The night was November 5th, 2024. Political prisoner Enrique Tarrio lay flat on the floor of a solitary jail cell in Mississippi with his ear pressed to the bottom of the door.
The night turned into the early morning hours of November 6th. Tarrio waited breathlessly, listening to the noises of faint radio broadcasts.
Around 1:00 AM, the news projected Donald Trump won Pennsylvania.
Tarrio took a full breath of the air coming under the door of his tiny cell. Oxygen. Hope.
In the rural Mississippi prison, surrounded by Trump-supporting guards and inmates, Tarrio heard chants of “TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!” begin to echo through the halls of the facility.
Tarrio took another deep breath. Redemption.
My ears always perk up when I hear that a lifelong Democrat has thrown his or her support behind President-elect Donald Trump. One of the biggest surprises of the 2024 election cycle was the sheer number of people who did just that.
Two key factors drove this shift. First, many working-class voters finally grasped that the Democratic Party, which they had blindly supported for decades, had abandoned them.
The second factor concerned Democrats at the opposite end of the economic spectrum — a group that included tech billionaires, hedge fund managers, and the ultrawealthy, many with direct access to the Biden White House. They saw that the line
Prepare to don your shocked face. With the deep state scrambling to find a way to stop Kash Patel from becoming Director of the FBI the Trump nominee has been "hacked."
According to CNN, Patel was targeted by an "Iranian hack" that just so happened to obtain some of his personal communications. The FBI briefed him on the supposed intrusion in a conversation that I'd have loved to have been present for. [Tweet]
Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, was recently informed by the bureau that he had been targeted as part of an Iranian hack,

Reelection Campaign, Now Says, 'I Support
the President' replies
Former House Speaker and current CA Rep. Nancy Pelosi is infamously considered by many—including President Joe Biden himself—to be the chief architect behind the movement to force him to abandon his reelection campaign over concerns he couldn’t win. That didn’t work out so well, however, as the Obama-Pelosi-Schumer-Jeffries cabal that took down a sitting president quickly found out that the next in line—Kamala Harris—was utterly unprepared for the job as his replacement.
Harris promptly faceplanted and lost the popular vote, the electoral vote, and all seven swing states.
Pelosi, not known for introspection, is suddenly back on the side of the president
We reported on Tuesday about how Joe Biden said that he was giving Africa a billion dollars to deal with disasters, including "food insecurity." I noted how insane that was given that we have people right now in North Carolina living in tents who are still not getting the help or the money they need to survive in the wake of Hurricane Helene -- that's since September.
What is he doing in Africa when his first priority should be America and Americans?
All he seemed to be doing was embarrassing us including falling asleep at a summit meeting. Here's another video of how obviously it was he was asleep
As the Danny Penny jury deliberates, this farce of a trial has made one thing abundantly plain: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg needs to go.
This case never should have gone to court.
The prosecution’s own witnesses proved that every rational person in that subway car — veterans of the subway system — feared for their lives after Jordan Neely burst through the doors and began ranting death threats as he half-lunged at other straphangers.
Penny heroically acted to protect them.
It’s a tragedy that Neely wound up dead, but Penny was far from the only author of that tragedy:
From the moment of Joe Biden’s coup d’état “victory” in 2020, Democrats, who had spent years telling everyone our elections were vulnerable to manipulation, suddenly began telling us it was the most secure election in American history.
Not long after the inauguration, adding insult to injury, Molly Ball wrote a long piece in TIME describing all of the maneuvers and manipulations Democrats had used to steal the election and their preparations for “protests”—read violence—if their coup didn’t succeed. But it did, and they were gloating about it.
Since that time, we’ve all come to see exactly what happened, much of it described in Mollie Hemingway’s bible on the coup: Rigged.

Ukraine Funding, and Instead Vows to Follow
Trump's Lead replies
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is standing firm against the demands of lame-duck President Joe Biden. He rejected the outgoing administration's plea for additional funding for Ukraine. Johnson made it clear that he would not be taking orders from Biden but would instead wait for direction from the new commander-in-chief, President-elect Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, Johnson announced that he would not bring to the floor a request for $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. This followed reports that Biden was urgently pushing Congress to approve more assistance to Kyiv before his term ends. Johnson's move underscores his commitment to reevaluating foreign aid priorities under new leadership,
In a surprising turn of events, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is withdrawing his bid to retain his position as the top Democrat on the influential House Judiciary Committee for the next two years. Instead, he has thrown his support behind his rival, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
Just two days ago, Nadler stood firm in his decision to challenge Raskin for the high-ranking job. The New York Democrat’s shift regarding the influential committee's role will be crucial in overseeing the second Trump administration.
In a letter to his colleagues, Nadler stated that while he would "still be an active member" of the House Judiciary Committee and "work alongside its new leadership,”
In yet another example of the left’s desperate attempts to smear President-elect Donald Trump’s allies, Olivia Troye, a former advisor to turncoat Mike Pence, is facing the heat after making outrageous defamatory statements about Trump’s pick for FBI Director, Kash Patel.
On November 30, 2024, President-elect Trump announced the nomination of Patel to lead the FBI, an institution tarnished by years of political corruption under figures like James Comey and Chris Wray.
Trump’s base praised the nomination, viewing Patel as a figure who could restore integrity and accountability to the Bureau.
It didn’t look good for Pete Hegseth, facing a multi-pronged attack on his character, a la Brett Kavanaugh, regarding his defense secretary nomination. Hegseth is qualified for the job. He’s also not just a Fox News host—he’s a decorated combat veteran who has worked with such groups for years. Yet, tales of sexual misconduct and hard drinking are now filling the airwaves, most of which is unsubstantiated drivel.
(Snip) With Matt Gaetz, Trump’s failed attorney general pick, four absolute ‘no’ votes killed his nomination—it was the usual suspects. For Hegseth, there are reports that ZERO Republican senators are opposed to his helming of the Defense Department
It has all the hallmarks of a dramatic spy movie.
At around 6.45am on Wednesday, a masked assassin shot dead a multi-millionaire executive on one of New York's busiest shopping streets.
After confirming he'd eliminated his target, the hooded gunman walked calmly away, before apparently disappearing into thin air in one the world's most surveilled cities. (Video) His victim: UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, who earned $10 million a year and suffered at least two gunshot wounds – one to the back, the other in his leg – outside the Hilton Hotel on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue. He was later pronounced dead in hospital.
‘Charlatan’ vaccine promoter Dr. Peter Hotez said multiple viruses will be unleashed on America one day after Trump is inaugurated next month.
“We have some big picture stuff coming down the pike starting on January 21st,” Hotez said to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace before rattling off a list of viruses:
Bird flu,
New Coronavirus,
SARS,
Mosquito-transmitted viruses,
Dengue,
Zika,
Oropouche virus, Yellow fever,
Pertussis/Whooping cough,

Aides of President Joe Biden are debating whether the outgoing Democratic president should issue preemptive pardons for figures President-elect Donald Trump has named as his political enemies.
Politico reported Wednesday that among those being discussed for blanket pardons are former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, Sen.-elect Adam Schiff and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Biden - who has been busy dealing with the fallout from his decision to pardon his son Hunter over gun and tax crimes - hasn't been brought into the discussions yet, the outlet said.
White House officials fear that doling out pardons to people who haven't been charged with a crime could suggest impropriety.
Attorneys for President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday asked a Georgia appeals court to dismiss the Fulton County racketeering case against him because a "sitting president is completely immune from indictment or any criminal process, state or federal."
In papers filed with the Georgia Court of Appeals, Trump's attorneys argued the 2020 election interference charges against him should be tossed due to "the unconstitutionality of his continued indictment and prosecution by the State of Georgia" now that "he is President-Elect and will soon become the 47th President of the United States."
The case has been stalled for most of the year as Trump's lawyers have challenged a ruling that denied their request to disqualify
Donald Trump announced on Wednesday he was appointing David Warrington to serve as the White House counsel, abruptly changing his mind about who will be the top lawyer in the incoming administration as he moves his original pick to the new department of government efficiency.
The move means Warrington, a longtime Trump lawyer who was also the Trump campaign’s general counsel, will effectively be the most prominent legal adviser to Trump in the day-to-day running of the West Wing.
“Dave will lead the office of the White House counsel, and serve as the top attorney in the White House. Dave has represented me

Manhattan DA's downplaying of Daniel Penny's
potential punishment 'improper and misleading': defense replies
potential punishment 'improper and misleading': defense replies
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has been aggressively pushing for the media to note that if convicted of second-degree manslaughter at trial, Marine veteran Daniel Penny faces no mandatory minimum prison term, Penny's lawyers told the judge this week. The 26-year-old aspiring architect would face a maximum punishment of 15 years behind bars, if convicted for Jordan Neely's death on a Manhattan F train.
Neely rushed onto a subway car with women and children, shouted that someone would "die today," and warned that he wasn't afraid to go to prison for life. Penny grabbed him in a chokehold or headlock, took him to the ground, and he later died.
President-elect Donald Trump has filed a motion requesting that the Georgia Court of Appeals "confirm its lack of jurisdiction" to continue hearing his appeal and then direct the trial court to "immediately dismiss" altogether the Fulton County election interference case against him brought by Democrat DA Fani Willis.According to the five-page notice of jurisdictional issue filed Wednesday, Trump is arguing the case's unconstitutionality, now that he is about to enter the White House again with the protection of presidential immunity.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated billionaire entrepreneur and adventurer Jared Isaacman to head the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
I am delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Jared will drive NASA's mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in Space science, technology, and exploration. Over the past 25 years, as the Founder and CEO of Shift4, Jared has demonstrated exceptional leadership, building a trailblazing global financial technology company.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) is ceding his position as top Democrat on the powerful Judiciary Committee amid a tough challenge from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), — a stunning shift on a powerful committee that’s sure to play a considerable role in the oversight of the second Trump administration.
In a letter to colleagues, Nadler said he’s endorsing Raskin for the spot. The move marks a stunning fall for Nadler, a fiery Manhattan liberal and 34 year veteran of Congress, who rose to the top of the Judiciary panel in 2017 and helped to guide the two impeachments of President Trump. As senior Democrat on the
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeks an "active role" in shaping the incoming Trump administration's tech policies, despite his terse history of warring over censorship with the president-elect, and at one point, even suspending him from Facebook.
Given Trump's longstanding history of developing broad coalitions that include his former critics, his transition team's senior adviser Jason Miller insisted that aspect is integral to his governing style and will likely continue, but with the caveat that Trump "never forgets."
Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Justice pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has quickly distinguished herself as arguably America’s dumbest justice after just three years on the bench. On Wednesday, she again lived up to that reputation in a case dealing with ‘gender-affirming’ care for children.
As CBS reports, The Supreme Court is addressing a case concerning the constitutionality of a Tennessee law that bars puberty blockers and hormone therapy for so-called ‘transgender’ youths. Back in March 2023, Tennessee’s Republican-led legislature instituted its ban on these dangerous medical procedures,
PARIS — French opposition lawmakers brought the government down on Wednesday, throwing the European Union’s second-biggest economic power deeper into a political crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and rein in a massive budget deficit.
Far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his government, with a majority 331 votes in support of the motion.
Barnier was expected to tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron shortly. (Photo) No French government had lost a confidence vote since Georges Pompidou’s in 1962. This time, Macron had ushered in the crisis by calling a snap election in June t
Justice Sonia Sotomayor likened the side effects of transgender medical procedures on minors to that of taking an over-the-counter painkiller during Wednesday's oral arguments in the U.S. v. Skrmetti case.
"Every medical treatment has a risk, even taking aspirin," Sotomayor said. "There's always going to be a percentage of the population under any medical treatment that's going to suffer a harm. So, the question in my mind is not, 'do policymakers decide whether one person's life is more valuable than the millions of others who get relief from this treatment?'"
MSNBC president Rashida Jones is considering leaving the network after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in to a second term in the White House as the left-leaning channel’s ratings crash, according to a report.
Jones – who took the helm in 2021 and became the first black woman to lead a major national news network – is mulling an exit from the job early next year, according to a report by Oliver Darcy in his Status newsletter.
The move would only come after Trump is sworn in to serve a second term as president on Jan. 20, Darcy reported, citing anonymous sources.
The minority government of Michel Barnier has lost a no-confidence vote in parliament, making it the first administration to be ousted in such a way since 1962 and the shortest-lived government of the Fifth Republic
Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito tore into solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar for arguing Wednesday that transgender procedures often result in better outcomes, a claim that fails to take into consideration a growing collection of evidence to the contrary.
The justices heard oral arguments Wednesday in United States v. Skrmetti, a case about whether Tennessee’s law banning transgender operations and hormone treatments for minors is Constitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Alito quoted Prelogar’s petition to the Court claiming “overwhelming evidence” supports the notion that puberty blockers and hormone treatments improve the well-being of unwell adolescents confused about their gender.
NEW YORK — Jurors asked Wednesday to review police and bystander video at the heart of the chokehold manslaughter case against Daniel Penny as his lawyers complained that an aggressive protester was harassing the Marine veteran outside the New York City courthouse. Within about an hour of starting a second day of deliberations, the anonymous jury sought a second look at videos captured by the body cameras of officers who responded to the subway car where Penny grabbed hold of Jordan Neely, an agitated man whose behavior and words were frightening passengers. Jurors also wanted to revisit video shot by a
President-elect Trump has nominated former Securities and Exchange Commissioner (SEC) Paul Atkins to replace outgoing chair Gary Gensler when he departs on Inauguration Day.
“Paul is a proven leader for common sense regulations. He believes in the promise of robust, innovative capital markets that are responsive to the needs of Investors, & that provide capital to make our Economy the best in the World,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday.
The nomination caps off weeks of speculation over who will head up the independent agency following Gensler’s announcement last month he would step down from the post once Trump is sworn into office.
. . . Is how a headline reads in today’s Wall Street Journal. To which my reaction was, what next?
First, the trannies were in the closet. Then they came out, apparently just to go to the bathroom. The one for girls.
Then they were in the Cabinet of the future former President and current organized crime boss who both commits and pardons family criminal acts. (One stop shopping, is he.)
The next thing we knew, they were competing in athletic contests against real women – or, as much of the media dubs them, “birthing persons” or “menstruating persons” or “persons with a bonus hole” or (my personal favorite) “non-transgender women.”

Reason for Their Dismay Over Hunter Biden
Pardon Is Revealed replies
Watching Democrats and press figures contort themselves into pretzels to either shamelessly justify or self-servingly distance themselves from Joe Biden giving his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden, a "full and unconditional" pardon in the last weeks of his presidency has been something else.
You've got the ones like Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) who tweeted "I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong. This wasn’t a politically motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers."
There have also been Democrat media apologists like NBC News' Chuck Todd, who probably needed to be assisted to a fainting couch Monday
President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday morning that Peter Navarro, who served in Trump's first White House term, is back for round two as a senior trade counselor.
"I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man who was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it, will serve as my Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.

The Washington Post’s national security reporter is unimpressed with Pete Hegseth’s 20-plus awards and commendations during his two combat tours, emails obtained Wednesday by Breitbart News reveal.
The Post’s Alex Horton, a national security reporter, pushed back Tuesday on Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s characterization of Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, as “highly decorated” for his military service.“Can you help me understand what highly decorated means in this release?” Horton asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s staff in response to an op-ed Tuberville wrote praising Hegseth.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was accused of insider trading and fraud by the Department of Justice before he was assassinated on Wednesday in Manhattan.
Thompson, 50, was shot dead in what NYPD officials believe was a targeted attack as he exited the Hilton hotel before an investor conference. His killer remains on the loose.
Last year the DoJ launched a probe into whether the nation's biggest insurer, led by Thompson, was unfairly restricting competitors and running a monopoly. Then in October, the City of Hollywood Firefighters’ Pension Fund in May initiated a complaint against the company against Thompson and other executives, accusing the CEO of failing to tell investors
UnitedHealthcare's disturbing track record of rejecting claims has come under the spotlight after the insurance giant's CEO was shot dead in what is believed to have been a targeted attack in the heart of Manhattan. Brian Thompson, 50, was gunned down around 6:45am on Wednesday outside a Hilton Hotel in Midtown. The masked attacker remains on the loose and has not yet been identified. Their motive for the shooting has not been disclosed.
UnitedHealthcare was being probed by the Department of Justice for alleged antitrust violations, while its parent company, UnitedHealthcare Group (UHG), has come under fire from angry patients who claim the insurer refused to cover their care.
"Moving at the speed of business" was one of the great corporate slogans of our lifetimes. In just six words, UPS declared that they didn't just move fast, they expected their customers to. From 1995 to 2002, it was a boast and a compliment about speed, agility, and affordability — at a time when business adaptation of the internet demanded more and more of all three.

The Biden-Harris administration has granted millions of dollars in funding for a virtual treatment that aims to help cure eating disorders by “affirming” LGBTQIA+ patients’ sexual orientation and gender claims. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Auburn University Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Tiffany Brown and San Diego State University Professor of Psychology Aaron Blashill up to $5 million in grants to “develop and provide” the Promoting Resilience to Improve Disordered Eating (PRIDE) treatment — a virtual “identity-affirming eating disorder treatment for LGBTQIA+ patients,” the Auburn University College of Liberal Arts website states.
The CEO of insurance company UnitedHealthcare’s insurance unit, Brian Thompson, was shot and killed by a masked gunman in what appears to be a targeted attack in New York City, unnamed officials said in media reports on Wednesday.

The layoffs leave Lion Electric with about 300 workers. The plant in Channahon opened in July of 2023 and was set to produce up to 20,000 vehicles a year.

Under normal circumstances, it takes a year or two before a president can have an impact on the economy or world affairs. But Donald Trump won’t be president for almost two months, and already we are feeling the effects of his election.
Consumers are more confident, manufacturers more optimistic, investors more bullish. Canada is promising to toughen up its border controls. Ukraine is talking about how to end its nearly three-year-long war. There’s a ceasefire in the Middle East.
Heck, even Trump’s favorability rating broke through 50%, a rarity since he first announced his candidacy in 2015.
Let’s look at the evidence:
The CEO of UnitedHealth was fatally shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown in what police say was a targeted attack.
Brian Thompson, 50, was at the hotel at around 6:46 a.m. when a masked man fired at the CEO and fled eastbound on 6th Avenue, police sources told The Post.
Thomas was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead, police said. (Photo) Brian Thompson, 50, was at the hotel at around 6:46 a.m.
As the Biden regime prepares to exit, it has orchestrated a move as a cunning attempt to undermine the incoming Trump administration’s agenda to streamline government operations.
In a last-minute deal, the Biden regime has locked in telework protections for 42,000 Social Security Administration (SSA) employees until 2029.
The agreement, reached with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), ensures remote work privileges for these federal workers for the next five years, despite the Trump administration’s explicit plans to slash such arrangements, according to Bloomberg.
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins called President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden a “political timebomb” that left Dems in “the blast radius” — and pointed out his hypocrisy after years of claiming he would respect the Justice Department’s rulings.

South Korea’s opposition parties Wednesday submitted a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over the shocking and short-lived martial law that drew heavily armed troops to encircle parliament before lawmakers climbed walls to reenter the building and unanimously voted to lift his order.
Impeaching Yoon would require the support of two-thirds of parliament and at least six justices of the nine-member Constitutional Court would have to support it to remove him from office. The motion, submitted jointly by the main opposition Democratic Party and five smaller opposition parties, could be put to a vote as early as Friday.
Democrat Adam Gray has won California's 13th Congressional District race, defeating incumbent Republican Rep. John Duarte, according to The Associated Press.
California's 13th Congressional District was the last seat to be called, with the district being one of the most competitive races in the Golden State. Republicans maintained the majority with 220, with Democrats trailing at 216.
Gray, a former state legislator who represented California's 21st Assembly District from 2012 to 2022, is considered a centrist Democrat who focused on key concerns for farmers in the Central Valley like water shortages.
Another day, another hit piece against Pete Hegseth.
The media has been attacking Pete Hegseth, President Trump’s nominee for Defense Secretary, with leaks about a years-old sexual assault allegation that was already investigated by police and proven to be false.
Now the media is attacking Pete Hegseth for his so-called drinking problem, citing anonymous sources.
NBC News, citing 10 current and former Fox News employees, reported that Pete Hegseth’s drinking worried his colleagues.
At a noisy holiday party, a friend pulled me aside for a quiet conversation. He’s long been a major Democratic donor in New York and nationally but has grown increasingly disenchanted with the party’s far-left policies.
“You were right about Trump,” he whispered, before delivering the bombshell: “And I voted for him.”
We shook hands and laughed.
The election resulted in numerous Dems switching sides, but my friend’s conversion stands out because it shows Trump cut into the top ranks of the party hierarchy. And the conversation came even before President Biden’s pardon proved another shock to Dem officials and their propaganda outlets.
A Massachusetts judge who was criminally charged during President-elect Donald Trump's first administration with impeding a federal immigration arrest of a defendant in her courtroom is now being accused by state judicial disciplinary authorities of engaging in willful misconduct.
The Massachusetts Judicial Conduct Commission on Monday filed formal charges against Judge Shelley Joseph related to the same conduct that was at issue in the criminal case, which prosecutors agreed to drop in 2022 after Trump left office in exchange for her referring herself to disciplinary authorities.

A judge ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to release all communications with Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.
