Kevin Kiley (R-CA), former President Donald Trump’s choice in California’s third congressional district, defeated his Democrat opponent on Tuesday, securing the House majority for the Republican Party, according to a Decision Desk HQ projection one week after Election Day. The race was called for Kiley after the GOP secured victories in five key House districts in California and Arizona on Monday night. (Tweet) During his campaign, Kiley called on a potential Republican-controlled House to return to Trump’s policies. Kiley told Breitbart News in March:

Now what, Mitch?

On track to be the longest-serving leader in Senate history, newly reelected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell now faces the daunting task of deciding what’s next on the agenda.
Speaking on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle” late Wednesday, eponymous host Laura Ingraham offered a few tips on which direction he should tread.
“Republicans want results and they also want inspiring leadership — a blueprint for the future that is clearly articulated and reflective of the views of a majority of Republican voters. And we’re also looking for fighters who fight as hard as the left, always united against the opposition’s agenda,” she said.
With that said, she continued,
The impending bloodbath at far-left CNN is destroying the fake news outlet’s morale, a 20-year staffer said.
This revelation occurred during a recent company meeting where CNN chief Chris Licht confirmed that layoffs are coming in early December.
“There is widespread concern over the global economic outlook, and we must factor that risk into our long-term planning,” Licht reportedly said. “All this together will mean a noticeable change to this organization. That, by definition, is unsettling. These changes will not be easy because they will affect people, budgets, and projects.
California is projected to have a deficit after holding onto a budget surplus for the past several years.
The state is expected to have a $25 billion deficit in the next fiscal year, according to the state legislature’s nonpartisan fiscal experts.
The Legislative Analyst’s Office released its report on Wednesday, emphasizing the upcoming $25 billion deficit, which they say is mostly due to “lower revenue estimates.”
The state’s last budget was $308 billion with a $97 billion surplus, and the year prior to that, the budget was $263 billion with a $76 billion surplus.
Nancy Pelosi, who announced she would not continue as the Democratic Party’s leader in the House of Representatives, has been a great legislator. You’d have to be to last for 19 years at the top of the Democratic legislative greasy pole.
That doesn’t mean she has been a great font of ideas, a great visionary, or a great leader of the American people. She has been none of those things.
Her own contributions to this country on matters of policy, rather than shepherding or opposing bills in the House, have been negligible. She was impotent when it came to dealing with an anti-Semitic outbreak in her caucus in 2019, for example.

Twitter Ownership ‘A Direct Threat to
Public Safety’ 16 replies
Two groups linked to failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and liberal billionaire George Soros are behind a massive pressure campaign aimed at sinking Twitter and destroying its advertising revenue after Elon Musk took control of the platform.
Hillary Clinton (left) and George Soros (right) Leftist groups like Accountable Tech — a group tied closely to a Clinton nonprofit Onward Together — and UltraViolet, connected to Soros, fired off an undated letter to advertisers on Twitter, telling them that the platform is a danger to the world with Musk at the helm. “Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter will further toxify
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appears to be the front-runner to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (R-CA) as House Democrat leader, even though he is an election denier.
As a lawyer from central Brooklyn, Jeffries is a self-described far-left Democrat who appears to be angling behind the scenes to win the Democrat House leadership position. He first assumed office in 2013 and has served as the chair of the House Democrat Caucus since 2019.
Jeffries’ presumable succession is notable because Democrats and the establishment have continually labeled some Republican politicians as election deniers. The same standard does not appear to be applied to Jeffries.
President Joe Biden praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday after she announced her decision to exit Democrat leadership.
“When I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of dignity,” he wrote in a more than 500-word statement released by the White House. “History will note she is the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in our history.”
Pelosi announced her decision to step down from a leadership role while continuing to serve in Congress.
"We are deeply concerned" about the threat posed by increasingly sophisticated drones, or unmanned aerial systems, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday.
"As the threat continues to grow," Wray said, "we are investigating, even as we speak, several incidences within the U.S. of attempts to weaponize -- to weaponize -- drones with homemade IEDs. That is the future that is here now."

Hunter Biden emails as ‘Russian disinformation’ 5 replies
Rep. Jim Jordan tore into the media and Washington intelligence experts Thursday for accepting the explanation that Hunter Biden’s controversial emails were nothing more than a Russian disinformation plot hatched days before the 2020 presidential election.
Jordan, R-Ohio, and his Republican colleagues announced that partly because of those emails from Biden's abandoned laptop, they have assembled a broad range of evidence showing that Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden were involved in influence peddling in dozens of countries around the world. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said the Bidens got rich by "offering access to the family,"
The Left Cashes In On The Real Red Wave
5 replies
Indeed, there was a red wave but not the one conservatives had hoped for. It was, however, the continuation of the leftists’, Marxists’, and communists’ eternal obsession to destroy America and obliterate her values—and Ayn Rand predicted it in her 1965 seminal book titled The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution.
Frighteningly prescient, Rand understood the beginnings of the “intellectual disintegration” that is now front and center in most colleges. Fifty-seven years later, the Left is “cashing in” on its quest for ultimate power.
Ground Zero was the “so-called student ‘rebellion’” that started at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1964. Billed as a Free Speech Movement, it was anything but.
The argument around Trump running in 2024 has splintered into several directions since his announcement on Tuesday. There are those who are excited about it and believe the former president can resurrect his appeal to Americans outside his base. Then there are those who don’t have any animus toward him but also believe the cake is baked enough that he can’t win a general election.
Finally, there are those who just hate Trump and want to watch the world burn in an attempt to get rid of him. That’s the category Asa Hutchinson falls into, and he’s already teasing a delusional run for the presidency. (Tweet)
Let the blame games begin?
17 replies
Who or what was responsible for the Republican nationwide collapse in the midterms? After all, pundits, politicos, and pollsters all predicted a "red tsunami." Moreover, the average loss of any president in his first midterm is 25 House seats. And when his approval sinks to or below 43% — in the fashion of President Joe Biden — the loss, on average, expands to over 40 seats. Former President Barack Obama in 2010 lost 63 seats. Is Biden, therefore, more charismatic or more energetic CORRECTION*

Faced with questions about his ability to lead after the midterm election debacle, a defiant Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deflected blame from his own culpability in the Democrats retaining control of the upper chamber and instead blamed it on public dissatisfaction with MAGA candidates.
The embattled McConnell spoke to reporters on Tuesday, defending his dismal performance and the refusal to adequately fund candidates who were endorsed by former and perhaps future President Donald J. Trump such as Blake Masters in Arizona, instead spending money to support RINO Lisa Murkowski in Alaska against her America first opponent, also a Republican.
An adviser for Sen.-elect John Fetterman is reminding people that he will not be able to answer questions in the usual way due to health-related conditions. Rebecca Katz, a longtime Fetterman adviser, responded to a HuffPost reporter's tweet, saying that there are "two things we need to get out of the way" as reporters are covering the orientation for new members of Congress. "John Fetterman has a suit and will wear it to the Capitol," Katz tweeted. "He is still recovering from a stroke and has lingering auditory processing challenges. The way Hill reporters are used to yelling questions at
As it faces an uncertain financial outlook and the prospect of a prolonged recession, the Walt Disney Co. has hiked the price of its admission to its Disney World parks in Orlando, Florida. The price hikes — the second increases in less than. a year — will see the price of admission to the Magic Kingdom soar as high as $189 for peak dates.
News of the price increases comes as Disney CEO Bob Chapek recently warned of impending layoffs and hiring freezes as the woke company deals with a weak profitability outlook.
Walt Disney World Resort will raise the price of admission to all of its parks –
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she will step down from her leadership role after two decades in the post.
“I will not seek re-election to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” Pelosi said. The first female speaker added that she will continue to represent the people in San Francisco in the House.
The California lawmaker will relinquish her position as head of the Democratic caucus, which she’s held for 19 years, to make way for a “new generation to lead.”
With her leadership still in high demand in her party, Pelosi will likely help manage her successor’s transition
With Republicans set to take over the House of Representatives and Democrats slated for leadership elections at the end of the month, outgoing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's will tell people her plans on Thursday.
Pelosi, 82, announced through a spokesperson that she'll 'address her future plans' later today with speculation already having begun as to whether she'll remain the leader of the Democrats.
Rumors have suggested that Pelosi would step down from Congress entirely, potentially leaving her extremely left-leaning district in San Francisco to her daughter Christine.
Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday during a CNN town hall event that it is time for new leadership when asked about former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential run.
Pence said, “Let me just say that it was a great honor for me to be part of the Trump/ Pence administration. In four short years, we reviled the economy, unleashed American energy, appointed conservatives to our courts at every level. But in the end, our administration did not end well. And I write about that in my book.
On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was overwhelmingly reelected to lead the Republican conference for another two years.
The 37-10 vote—which was conducted behind closed doors—comes after an underwhelming midterm election cycle for Republican Senate candidates that opened McConnell up to a challenge from Florida Senator Rick Scott, the head of the National Republican Senate Committee and a longtime rival of McConnell's who has sought to make inroads into Republican leadership for years.
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a fresh pitch for amnesty Wednesday when he claimed the U.S. is 'short of workers' so Congress needs to pass a 'path to citizenship' for 'however many undocumented there are here'.
'We're short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to,' the New York Democrat reasoned.
'The only way we're going to have a great future is if we welcome and embrace immigrants… get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many there are here.'
Billionaire Jeff Bezos said people can prepare for recession by holding off on buying big-ticket items like TVs and cars as he predicts the US economy may be in contraction by 2023.
Americans can 'take risk off the table' by keeping their cash for a rainy day, said the Amazon founder as he outlined his top tips for surviving a recession.
Speaking to CNN Business, the entrepreneur said people should hold off on big purchases and keep some 'dry powder' for the future.
America's #1 cable news channel was the outlet that former vice president Mike Pence chose on Tuesday evening to do everything but formally declare that he will be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
In an extensive live interview with Bret Baier from New York, where he is promoting his political memoir, So Help Me God, published yesterday (including an hour-long town hall on CNN tonight), Pence used the high-profile platform of Fox News to position himself as a sane, moderate, Christian-inspired alternative to President Trump as well as any other candidates among the growing number who plan to challenge President Biden in two years.
Recalling how former Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dan Quayle fulfilled their roles in certifying elections they lost was much more influential in former Vice President Mike Pence’s ceremonial ending of the 2020 campaign than his boss, former President Donald Trump. In one of several interviews to promote his new book, Pence said he looked to the examples of Quayle and Gore in deciding to certify the election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Jan. 6, 2021.
Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to elect Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as their leader over National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (R-Fla.) who announced his desire to replace McConnell at an acrimonious conference meeting Tuesday. A large majority of GOP senators voted to elect McConnell leader after a motion backed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other conservatives to delay the leadership election until after the Dec. 6 Georgia runoff failed.
