Ronna McDaniel won a fourth term to head the Republican National Committee (RNC) during a secret ballot vote by members on Friday, capping off a contentious election spurred by calls within the party for new leadership. McDaniel fended off two challengers — California attorney Harmeet Dhillon and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch denier of the 2020 presidential election results. She received 111 votes, while Dhillon received 51 and Lindell received four. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.), who did not ultimately make a run for RNC chair, also received one vote.

A Virginia couple has gone to court to try to block President Donald Trump from proceeding with demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make way for a new ballroom.
Charles and Judith Voorhees filed a motion in Washington federal court Thursday afternoon, asking a judge to halt any further damage to the White House while the legality of the project is assessed.
The motion seeks a temporary restraining order against the demolition, arguing it is taking place “without legally required approvals or reviews.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson's roommate ...
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer
Biden was seen last week by doctors after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule was found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," his office said.
Prostate cancers are given a score called a Gleason score that measures, on a scale of 1 to 10, how the cancerous cells look compared with normal cells. Biden’s office said his score was 9 ...
Sen. Lisa Murkowski to vote against Hegseth,

first Republican to oppose a Trump Cabinet pick 20 replies
Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks ahead of a crucial test vote.
Murkowski, of Alaska, said in a lengthy statement that allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which Hegseth has denied, show that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the U.S. military. She also noted his past statements that women should not fill military combat roles.
“I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media.

other relatives for unspecified crimes
before leaving office 27 replies
President Joe Biden pardoned his brother James Biden and other relatives Monday for unspecified crimes, a similar last-minute move to protect his family from potential investigation as when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for gun and tax convictions.
The president said he pardoned his brother and other relatives − his sister Sara Jones Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John Owens, and another brother, Francis Biden − because of concerns about "baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families," he said in a statement released minutes before the end of his term.
A woman who is a current breast cancer patient was banned from her hospital over alleged "hurtful remarks" it claims she said about the "LGBTQ community." The patient, Marlene Barbera, was set to receive a mastectomy later this month. Barbera explained that the drama first began after she made a comment about being opposed to a trans pride flag that she spotted hanging in the waiting room of Richmond Family Medicine Clinic in Portland, Oregon. Since then, she has asked online if anyone is able to refer her to an attorney.
Conservative author and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is “seriously considering” a 2024 presidential bid after traveling to Iowa in January, he confirmed to the Daily Caller on Monday.
Ramaswamy spoke with Iowa farmers and Republican leaders about reviving national identity and combatting woke ideology, the subject of his bestseller “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” published in 2021. “I would say I’m seriously considering it, that’s where I’m at,” Ramaswamy told the Caller in a brief interview. He believes “we are in the middle of this national identity crisis” because “the things that used to define American national identity have disappeared.”
Project Veritas’ latest undercover sting may have been its most insane yet. ... James O’Keefe, confronts a man named Jordon Trishton Walker after a secretly-recorded admission that Pfizer is mutating COVID-19 to create vaccines.... Now, after days of silence, Pfizer has finally responded. In a lengthy statement, the pharmaceutical company ... claims it does not perform gain-of-function research. There’s a lot of doublespeak and hiding behind language there ... it goes on to admit that in a “limited number of cases,” the company engineers the COVID-19 virus to “enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.” That seems like it requires a lot more explanation...

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, reportedly failed to include honors class designations on its transcripts, according to a parent activist organization.
The transcripts of over 2,000 students at the elite northern Virginia high school do not designate which classes were considered honors courses, according to the parent activist group Parents Defending Education. Such classes are given an additional grade point weight of +0.5.
Parents Defending Education said it received numerous transcripts from parents in Fairfax County Public Schools whose children attended a number of different schools within the district, but only the transcripts from Thomas Jefferson High School failed to include the honors designation.

Justice Department investigators on Friday found additional classified material after conducting a search of President Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home, the president’s personal attorney said in a statement.
Bob Bauer said that during the search, which took place over nearly 12 hours Friday, “DOJ took possession of materials it deemed within the scope of its inquiry, including six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials, some of which were from the President’s service in the Senate and some of which were from his tenure as Vice President. ... Those six items are in addition to materials previously found at Biden’s Wilmington residence and in his private office.
It has seemed that they’re slow-walking the calls for the outstanding races in the House, even when some of them are separated by more than a couple of points. It’s five days after the election and we still don’t know the results for control of the House. I last updated this two days ago. But if there’s anything that needs to be addressed going forward, it’s this concept being pushed that it’s somehow normal to take “days” or even “weeks” to get to a result in the election.
We now have another official call from Decision Desk in the OR-5 race. Republican Lori Chavez-DeRemer defeats Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner, 51.4 to 48.86.

President Trump late Thursday evening announced all trade negotiations with Canada have been terminated after the government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio of President Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.
Trump accused the government of Ontario of interfering with the Supreme Court’s decision on his tariffs. The high court is set to hear oral arguments on November 5 on Trump’s tariffs after a lower court ruled they were illegal.
“The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump said.

An underrated quality in life is knowing when to stay out of a debate. I won't claim to have always been perfect in that area, but hoo boy, did Chelsea Clinton fail the test on Thursday.
If you've been following the news, you're likely aware of the ongoing meltdown over President Donald Trump using private donations to remodel the East Wing into a ballroom. Since pictures of the construction went viral, nearly every Democrat politician and those adjacent to them have chimed in to claim it's symbolic of the destruction of our democracy. To call it mind-numbingly pretentious would be an understatement. But while the protestations from Elizabeth Warren,

Two national public employee unions sued the Trump administration over its restrictions preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining commercial drivers licenses. The American Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees filed a petition for review against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The employee unions challenged a rule implemented by Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy restricting foreign individuals from receiving commercial drivers licenses. Commercial drivers licenses are used for operating large vehicles such as tractor-trailers and buses. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia allow unauthorized immigrants to receive commercial drivers licenses.

Railroad Freeway Overpass — Homicide
Suspected, Say Police 18 replies
HOUSTON, Texas — A Union Pacific railroad employee reported the discovery of a brush fire near a storage facility along an interstate highway in Houston. Firefighters responded and found the partially burned body of a man hanging by a rope from the overpass, police officials stated.
The grim discovery of a man found hanging and partially burned beneath a Houston freeway Thursday night has drawn chilling parallels to cartel-style executions long documented by Breitbart’s Cartel Chronicles Project in northern Mexico, where bodies are often displayed in public as a message. While Houston police have not confirmed any connection to organized crime, investigators say the circumstances strongly suggest homicide,
On Thursday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal,” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) responded to questions on whether migrants who were allowed into the country under the Biden administration would qualify for taxpayer-funded health care by saying, “It depends on the circumstance.” And “those people who have applied for asylum and are going through the process are here legally.”
Host Mimi Geerges asked, “Congressman, as you know, Republicans are accusing Democrats of trying to give government health care, Medicaid to illegal immigrants. Democrats are denying that that’s the case. However, there’s a large number of people that were paroled into the country under the Biden administration. Are they considered illegal

Of all the things that Democrats have tried to tar President Donald Trump with, none is as petty, stupid and inconsequential as the current flap over remodeling the East Wing of the White House. But since Dems shut down the government, they have nothing else to do these days – apart from inciting their far-left followers to commit violence.
These are dangerous times in the world, both abroad and here in the U.S.
And yet, here’s California’s too-slick Gov. Gavin Newsom’s comment: “He’s literally destroying the White House.“
No, he’s “literally” not “destroying” the White House. He’s remodeling it.

New York Attorney General Letitia James reportedly pleaded not guilty Friday in a Virginia court to two charges of federal bank fraud. The judge set a trial date of Jan. 26, 2026. "Not guilty judge to both counts," James reportedly said in the hearing at the federal Eastern District of Virginia court.
The Justice Department indicted James earlier this month, alleging that she misrepresented how she would use a house she bought in 2020 in Norfolk, southeast Virginia, so she could obtain a lower interest rate on her mortgage, CBS News reported.
Man, the Democrats are dreary and wretched people, aren't they? I once had food poisoning and it was more entertaining than reading about whatever it is that the Dems are shrieking about on any given day.
This week, they have their adult diapers in a twist because President Trump is remodeling the White House. This is something that many presidents have done. The Democrats don't know that, however, because they've never read a history book that wasn't written by Howard Zinn. It's said that ignorance is bliss, but in this case it's misery-inducing for the perpetually ignorant Democrats.
President Donald Trump said on Oct. 23 that an anonymous donor has sent the federal government a $130 million check to cover the shortfall in military troop pay during the ongoing government shutdown.
“He called us the other day and he said, ‘I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I’d like to contribute, personally, contribute any shortfall you have with the military, because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there’s a shortfall, I’ll contribute it,’’’ Trump said during a roundtable meeting with his Cabinet.
Trump said the donor—a friend of his—sent the federal government a $130 million
Target, which has been struggling with sales in recent years, is eliminating 1,800 roles or about 8% of the company’s global HQ team, in a restructuring aimed to reduce “layers and overlapping work,” according to a memo seen by ABC News. The Minneapolis-based company is in the middle of a CEO transition with incoming chief executive Michael Fiddelke, a company veteran who will take the top job in February, and has started to implement his vision. "The truth is, the complexity we’ve created over time has been holding us back. Too many layers and overlapping work have slowed decisions, making
11 Singhs were arrested in San Bernardino County, California, accused of operating a sophisticated freight theft and trucking fraud ring that diverted high-value shipments across state lines, costing companies millions.
The police branded the criminal ring as the “Singh Organization,” raising questions about whether the repeated appearance of the surname in media reports involving massive narcotics busts, immigration violations, and fatal trucking accidents points to a broader pattern.
Could U.S. efforts to combat ethnic-religious gangs like the “Singh Organization” be undermined by Canada?While the U.S. secures prosecutions, deports illegal drivers, and imprisons narcotics traffickers, Canada routinely grants bail
