amid Senate Speculation

Original Article

Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump is stepping down from her party role as she considers replacing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R), whom her father-in-law, President-elect Trump, picked for secretary of state. “It is something I would seriously consider,” she told the Associated Press in an interview, referring to serving in the Senate.“If I’m being completely transparent, I don’t know exactly what they would look like. And I certainly want to get all of the information possible if that is something that is real for me,” Trump added. “But yeah, I would 100 percent consider it.”

This would be a great way to get rid of RINO Rubio. Wait until he makes a misstep at Sec State, and gone. Or....just wait, Secs of State don't last that long. Senators are far too often 'for life'.

Please tell me this isn’t the reason she was too busy to attend the stolen senate and house races.

No political dynasties, please. Lara's my homie from NC, but I'm not sure I like this. I have to say, though, having her in the Senate at this time would be extremely helpful to figuring out how to get rid of traitors. They would hate her!

Let her run for the Senate. It's up to the people of Florida. I do not believe she should be appointed to any position in this Administration. We had to tolerate Ivanka and that was enough.

Lara should replace Rubio as Senator, and also on the Senate intelligence committee, where she could inform Trump about all the IC plots against him.

I do not mind political families IF their values match our Christian, conservative Constitution-following values. Our problem in GOP circles is our legacy kids have turned out to be privileged secret democrats a lot of the time. Lara Trump is a multi-talented, smart woman with our MAGA values and the courage to fight! The Senate desperately needs MAGA tough new blood. We have way too much dead wood in our GOP ranks in there.

I would prefer to see her continue at the RNC. RNC under new leadership made progress, but we're certainly not out of the woods yet regarding election integrity.

Democrats on Capitol Hill are begging President Joe Biden, set to leave office next month, to commute the death sentences of 40 federal inmates, including one of the Boston Marathon bombers, child killers, mass shooters, and those convicted for brutally murdering women. “Today, on human rights day, we call on President Biden to do the right thing — to use his clemency authority to commute the death sentences of the 40 individuals on death row, to resentence them to a prison term, and to save lives,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said at a press conference.

With Donald Trump’s presidential reelection, Democrats are experiencing the stages of grief, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Once they accept reality, Democrats will ask: How to return to power? If Democrats need to go from here to there, where is here? Today, the Democrat party fully subscribes to economic Marxism (which is a socialist variant) and cultural Marxism combined with violence (state-inflicted through lawfare and swatting against political opponents plus more generally distributed through organizations such as BLM and Antifa, which riot). Adolf Hitler claimed, “The whole of National Socialism is rooted in Marxism.” Nazis being quintessential fascists, fascism is the wedding of socialism with violence.

From the start, the Select Committee on January 6 was rocked by problems, with perhaps no other member of that committee in as much trouble as now former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). There's been chatter about criminal referrals for Cheney for months, especially since she is a former member of Congress, though it also came up once more earlier this week with President-elect Donald Trump weighing in during his "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker. As was also mentioned, President Joe Biden is reportedly considering a preemptive pardon for Cheney and others.

President-elect Donald Trump has announced he will once again forgo the annual $450,000 presidential salary during his upcoming term. This mirrors his decision from his previous term, where he notably donated his salary to various government agencies and initiatives, reflecting his intention to serve without personal financial gain. Speaking in an interview with leftist hack Kristen Welker, Trump made it clear that his decision to reject the presidential salary is not driven by financial need, but by a desire to lead by example and reduce government expenditure.

One of the most controversial proposals from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is gaining support as he and lawmakers look to cut costs. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped the Tesla CEO and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to cut trillions of dollars in federal spending as the U.S. national debt continues to balloon to staggering new highs inflated by runaway expenditures over the few last decades. As it stands, that debt totals $36.2 trillion dollars, but Musk estimates that DOGE could cut 'at least $2 trillion' from the current White House's $6.5 trillion budget in the near term.

The House Assassination task force released its final and longawait report on Tuesday. The 180-page report claims the deadly shooting at Donald Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13 was 'preventable and should not have happened.' It was released just days after its final public meeting last week where Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe got into a screaming match with Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas). Rowe did acknowledge at the hearing the agency's 'abject failure' in the July shooting. The 13-member panel was created by a House vote shortly after the first assassination attempt over the summer.

President Biden’s teleprompter apparently short-circuited Tuesday during one of his final speeches touting his economic record — which included an abortive effort to massively expand rural high-speed internet — forcing him to consult paper notes to make up for the technical difficulties. “One of the things that’s going on here — they just turned off my … I lost electricity here, anyway,” Biden said, visibly taken off guard just 10 minutes into his speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.

On Tuesday, Mayorkas announced a final rule from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that will allow millions of migrants, many of whom have been released into the U.S. interior by the Biden administration, to keep their work permits for up to 540 days when they seek a renewal. Migrants previously could renew their work permits for 180 days. For years, Democratic mayors had lobbied DHS to extend such automatic employment authorization for migrants.

Catholics and Biblical scholars alike have been calling foul on recent attempts by supporters of Hamas to portray Jesus Christ as a "Palestinian." The historically incorrect narrative has been pushed by Muslims and other anti-Israel voices, who have sought to claim Jesus as their own in order to bolster support for the "from the river to the sea" destruction of the state of Israel. Sadly, it seems that the pro-Hamas cabal has found a kindred spirit in the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis.
