Donald Trump made a shock claim that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was 'forced' to prosecute him by the Biden Administration just days after a judge ruled that his sentencing will take place ten days before his inauguration.

The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is to enhance the health and well-being of Americans. Somewhere during its journey of growth and influence, however, HHS lost its way. If this is to be corrected, new leadership is required to move us back to an era of less processed food, healthier ingredients, and logical choices that enhance our health. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has the focus, knowledge, enthusiasm, and influence to effect much-needed change in our food system. In my 20-plus years as a professional chef and restaurant owner, I watched as food quality deteriorated.

The Christmas and New Year festivities have been joyous for us Americans who have suffered through the four years of incompetence and malignity inflicted upon us by the previous administration, the most dysfunctional since at least World War II. Both at home and abroad, a Democrat party hijacked by the left-over left defied nature and nature’s God with policies and programs astonishing for their gross violations of reality and morality, not to mention common sense and the laws of science. [Snip] The damage to our culture and Constitutional order has deep roots, and has poisoned our institutions and culture both openly and so insidiously
Melania Trump looked incredible as she rang in the New Year alongside her husband, Donald Trump, in a low-cut black dress on Tuesday evening. The 54-year-old showed off her slender figure in the chic Versace garment, which featured a sexy thigh-high split and a plunging neckline. Melania wore her hair down in loose waves and completed her look with black heels as she celebrated the holiday at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Donald, 78, for this part, wore a smart black tuxedo, complete with a bowtie--but some people were critical of his appearance.

[Snip] Donald Trump, who wonders why Washington should sponsor the Ukrainian war, will insist that Ukraine promote American interests.

At some point in the last four years, the president ceased to be. [Snip] What we do know is that his entire administration engaged in a concerted conspiracy to cover up his incapacity.
This conspiracy was not just one of the many lies told for political purposes: it was a coup. [Snip] Congress can take back the power wrongly seized from the American people by investigating and exposing the senility coup, and restoring the rule of lawful elected government. The American people deserve the truth and they deserve to be able to govern themselves.

Hollywood actor Jon Cryer, who referred to himself as “somewhat stupidly woke,” told Bill Maher that Vice President Kamala lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump because Americans “hate black women.”
“They hate inflation, they hate riots, and they hate black women, and they hate trans people,” Cryer said of Americans, explaining why he believes Harris lost the 2024 presidential election.
“They don’t hate black–” Maher rebutted, but was cut off by Cryer, who was claiming that Republicans also spent millions of dollars “dehumanizing trans people.”
“We shouldn’t talk politics,” Maher replied,
MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, also a former Democratic U.S. Senator, said on Monday’s “Deadline” that she felt “bitter” President-elect Donald Trump did not pay a “higher political price” for what he did on January 6.
McCaskill said, “Well, today was certainly a bittersweet day. And, candidly, I’m bitter. I mean, I’m bitter that a higher political price wasn’t paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6. Something is broken and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicolle, is that Donald Trump didn’t win 50 percent of the votes.

As my colleague Mike Miller reported earlier Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday and proceeded to gaslight viewers about his—and the entire Democrat/Corrupt Media establishment's—efforts to conceal Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline. Schumer went into full shameless mode, and basically denied what he said even when host Kristen Welker played a clip of him saying it. But Chuck had more to say, and when asked to analyze the Democrats' electoral defeats in the November elections, when the GOP took control of the House, Senate, and Oval Office, he appeared to blame voters for being too stupid

WASHINGTON — President Biden is moving to ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in most U.S. coastal waters, a last-minute effort to block possible action by the incoming Trump administration to expand offshore drilling.
Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing.
“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage
Bruce Fischer, the husband of U.S. Senator for Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, had an awkward exchange with Kamala Harris during the one-on-one ceremonial swearing-in of senators with their families.
Following the oath, Harris tells Senator Fischer congratulations and shakes her hand. She then turns to Bruce, who took part in the ceremony by holding the bible for his wife, and extends her hand.
Bruce declined the opportunity to shake hands with Harris, who awkwardly quipped, “I won’t bite.”
Fischer declined the handshake and put his hands in his pockets.
President Joe Biden will ban new offshore oil and gas drilling in more than 625 million acres of federal waters, the White House announced Monday, striking a final blow against domestic energy production just two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
The outgoing president is set to use his authority under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East Coast, West Coast, eastern Gulf of Mexico, and additional portions of the Northern Bering Sea in Alaska from future oil and gas leasing. Cast as a way to preserve the fishing and tourism industries in the affected states, these steps do not expire.

On a recent episode of her Fox Business show, Bartiromo shared what she believes is the single most important rule for becoming a millionaire in the US: 'Join your company's 401(k) plan — put as much money in there as you can early on, and do not touch it.'
