They tried to steal it. They failed. It was a weird dynamic where this event in Pennsylvania’s Senate race was shocking but also not too surprising given liberal America’s penchant for engaging in election shenanigans when results don’t go their way. Republican Dave McCormick defeated incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), but he refused to concede. Even with no path given how much vote is left and how provisional ballots land, with most being rejected due to not meeting the benchmark requirements for authenticity, McCormick’s lead was viewed by both Republicans and Democrats as insurmountable. Most of the outstanding ballots were in red counties, like Cambria.
A Russian ballet dancer who was an outspoken critic of Russia’s war in Ukraine has mysteriously plunged to his death from the fifth floor of a building.
Vladimir Shklyarov, a married father of two, plummeted around 60 feet to the ground from a building on Saturday, a spokesperson for the Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg, where the 39-year-old was the highest-ranking dancer, told Fontanka.
Russian authorities initially labeled the fall an accident, blaming the painkillers he was taking before a complex spinal surgery.
Melania Trump will again be the First Lady of the United States — and perhaps, this time, the media will treat her as such.
Not one magazine bothered to feature Mrs. Trump on its cover during President Donald Trump’s entire first term, despite her philanthropic work on the “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign, and despite her long and storied career as a cover model (née Melania Knauss) in high demand before her husband entered the political fray.
Breitbart News was the only outlet to feature the First Lady, frequently noting her fashion choices, which were often inspired and original. In contrast, the media had gushed over First Lady Michelle Obama’s outfits
We live in an age of whispered conversations.
There are aspects of American life that everyone, or nearly everyone, knows are absurd but is too afraid to speak out against and feels powerless to reverse.
It used to be said that if someone looked over his shoulder, he was about to tell an insensitive joke.
Now people are worried about being overheard making what should be commonsensical observations.
Below are the kinds of conversations that are happening all the time.
President Trump’s hearing to disqualify Fani Willis was set for December 5, but the Georgia Court of Appeals abruptly canceled the oral argument.
It is unclear why the appeals court canceled the oral arguments. (X) In August 2023, corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted President Trump and 18 co-defendants for daring to challenge the 2020 election. (Snip) In March, Georgia Judge Scott McAfee ruled that crooked and dishonest Fani Willis will be allowed to remain on the Trump case.
The soon-to-be-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, shared some examples of obscene government waste on Monday so Americans can have some clear examples of what needs to be cut.
DOGE shared a clip of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), widely known for his annual Festivus government waste report, walking through some of the most shocking ways the U.S. government has wasted taxpayer dollars. One of the studies highlighted by both Paul and DOGE in involves seeing what makes a sunfish more aggressive: Gin or tequila. About $100,000 went toward that project.
RIO DE JANEIRO – World leaders moved on without President Joe Biden. Literally. The outgoing U.S. president missed a photo with Group of 20 leaders on Monday in Brazil after summit organizers proceeded without him. Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived at the waterside location just as their fellow world leaders were dispersing. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also missed the photo shoot, in which Chinese President Xi Jinping stood front and center. The White House said the photograph got taken earlier than planned. "Due to logistical issues, they took the photo early before all the leaders arrived'' a
President-elect Trump announced that he is nominating former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, who is also a Fox News contributor and FOX Business co-host, to serve as the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. "Sean has been a tremendous and well-liked public servant, starting his career as a District Attorney for Ashland, Wisconsin, and later elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District," Trump said in his announcement on Monday. "Sean will use his experience and the relationships he has built over many years in Congress to maintain and rebuild our Nation’s Infrastructure,
MSNBC staffers are lashing out at "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski after they shocked their liberal viewers by revealing their recent Mar-a-Lago meeting with President-elect Donald Trump. "Cowardice," one MSNBC employee reacted to Fox News Digital. "Doing exactly what [anti-Trump historian] Tim Snyder warns on our air not to do: obey in advance. It’s disgusting but frankly unsurprising."
The source said MSNBC's rank and file are now "largely disdainful" of the network's morning stars, saying it "feels like they are just opportunistic.”
Two undersea internet cables in the Baltic Sea have been suddenly disrupted, according to local telecommunications companies, amid fresh warnings of possible Russian interference with global undersea infrastructure. A communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden was cut on Sunday morning around 10:00 a.m. local time, a spokesperson from telecommunications company Telia Lithuania confirmed to CNN.
A Georgia appeals court on Monday canceled until further notice oral arguments on an effort by President-elect Donald Trump and other co-defendants to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the criminal election interference prosecution against them.
The Georgia Court of Appeals acted on its own in canceling the arguments scheduled for Dec. 5. The court did not explain its reason for the move.
Three other criminal cases against Trump have been put in limbo since the Republican won the presidential election nearly two weeks ago.

Senate Republicans slammed their Democrat counterparts in the chamber for moving forward with a "partisan" Homeland Security appropriations bill that they say has "substantial flaws" and will leave the incoming Trump administration without the resources they need to fix the border crisis.
Senate Committee on Appropriations ranking member Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement that Democrats' leadership has led to a "unilateral decision from the Majority to post a partisan measure on a critical appropriations bill that is meant to help secure our borders and combat the surge of deadly fentanyl and other illegal narcotics flooding our communities."
Leftists have a master plan to ensure that President-elect Donald Trump’s economy tanks: They are not going to buy anything.
Leftists across the country are still reeling from Trump’s historic comeback victory, which saw him sweeping all seven swing states, garnering 312 electoral votes and also winning the popular vote after making historic gains in traditionally blue areas.
There was a sizable shift in the electorate and a clear mandate for change, but some leftists ardently disagree and have a plan to tank what everyone anticipates to be a strong economy under Trump’s leadership.
Not taking the hint from Americans’ waning trust in their work, the corporate media have decided to further tank their credibility by launching an anti-Christian info op against Trump’s Secretary of Defense nominee, Pete Hegseth.
The Associated Press (AP) kicked off the weekend-long vilification campaign Friday evening, publishing a hit piece centered on one of the Army veteran’s Christian tattoos. Authored by Tara Copp, Michelle Smith, and Jason Dearen, the article attempts to tie Hegseth to “white supremacist groups” by claiming his “Deus Vult” bicep tattoo — which is Latin for “God wills it” — is “associated” with such organizations.
The hit job cites a complaint made against Hegseth
Israel is not only the United States' staunchest ally in the Middle East, but they are also the only country in that part of the world with a freely elected parliamentary government. They are also a small nation, one who, since 1948, has literally made the desert bloom - and who is surrounded by people who want to see it wiped off the face of the earth.
Since last year's notorious October 7th attacks, the gloves have been off, and Israel has been kicking some and taking some. Part of the operations have been into Gaza's Rafah, a city in the southern part of the Gaza Strip which,
Laken Riley's alleged killer Jose Ibarra has been identified as a member of the brutal Tren de Aragua gang.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to NewsNation's Ali Bradley that the 26-year-old undocumented migrant from Venezuela is a member of the criminal group.
Ibarro was suspected of being part of the gang but his official membership was not confirmed until now. (snip}On Friday prosecutors said Ibarra's DNA was a direct match to the DNA under Riley's fingernails, and was '10 billion times more probable than a coincidental match.'
President-elect Donald Trump‘s unconventional selections for his second White House term have shocked Washington and bucked the traditional GOP establishment.
However, that team of disruptors may be exactly what he wants after voters soundly rejected Vice President Kamala Harris and ushered in Republican total control of the White House, Senate, and House. Unlike his 2016 win, Trump will return to the White House with day-one experience with how Washington operates and a clearer understanding of the staff who dare to undo the status quo. He also knows who will be loyal to him, as evidenced by those who stood by him when he was
It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. (snip)However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.
Pennsylvania Democrats are still trying to steal a Senate race from Republican Dave McCormick, who has won the seat. Ousted incumbent Sen. Bob Casey won't admit that he's actually been ousted, however, and as we've covered for days now, he's enlisted the help of lawyer Marc Elias to drag out the process. The state is preparing for a recount -- to which Casey is entitled under the law -- which will push the final conclusion until the brink of Thanksgiving. "As outlined in Act 97, the 67 county boards of elections must begin their recounts by Wednesday, Nov. 20, and complete them by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
They tried to steal it. They failed.

CBS has come under fire after furious NFL fans accused the network of editing out a player's Donald Trump-inspired celebration on Sunday.
During their clash with the Miami Dolphins, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers celebrated a superb 20-yard touchdown run by performing the famous Trump dance, which is proving very popular across the league right now.
Bowers' celebration was captured by CBS on its live broadcast of the game. [SNIP]
Yet in their own social-media post, CBS opted to share a shorter video which ends just before the Raiders star pulls out Trump's notorious two-handed shuffle.
The Last Walz
replies
This is my November 7 Washington Free Beacon column on the failed 2024 vice presidential candidacy of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (republished with permission).
* * * * *
ST. PAUL, Minn.—A week before Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz as her running mate, I facetiously urged her to “Take My Governor—Please.” Walz has compiled an uber-woke record as Minnesota governor. When he was elected to a second term in November 2022, the DFL won majorities in both houses of the Minnesota legislature. With the DFL in control, the legislature spent an $18 billion surplus on infrastructure, “education,” and entitlements.
We have become the land of 10,000 entitlements. The legislature raised taxes

Josh Shapiro Helping to Try and Steal
a Senate Seat? replies
All those opining that Josh Shapiro would've made a better vice presidential pick than Tim Walz might want to pipe down right about now. The fact is that Shapiro, the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania, is currently helping his party attempt to steal a Senate seat.
As we unfold what's going on here, keep in mind the fact that Shapiro is being lauded as a potential presidential candidate in 2028. It bears repeating: one of the Democrat Party's apparent best and brightest is currently overseeing the attempted stealing of an election won fairly by Republican Dave McCormick in order to hand-deliver a Senate seat to his party.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republican Eric Hovde conceded defeat on Monday to Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin in their U.S. Senate race, saying he did not want to “add to political strife through a contentious recount” even though he raised debunked election conspiracies.
Hovde, who was backed by President-elect Donald Trump, could have requested a recount because his margin of defeat was less than 1 percentage point, at about 29,000 votes. He would have had to pay for it himself.
After a decade of assuring their viewers Donald Trump is “Hitler,” Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski announced Monday that they have already goose-stepped to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Orange Hitler’s ring.
The satisfaction this must have given President-elect Trump must rival only the satisfaction of his triumphant reelection. Because a Vichy needle is not easy to thread, the married quislings read their bombshell news from a carefully worded statement and rationalized it this way…“We didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so. What we did agree on was to restart communications,” said the very same people
Comedian and talk show host John Oliver stirred up some controversy during a recent broadcast in which he argued that allowing trans-identified men to compete in girls’ sports was acceptable and not a risk to the safety of female athletes.
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling quickly countered Oliver’s claims and explained why forcing female athletes to compete with men is unfair and dangerous.
During the episode, Oliver discussed how Republicans effectively used Vice President Kamala Harris’ support for biological males in women’s sports against her during the 2024 campaign. He lamented the fact that Harris’ campaign failed “to formulate a response, especially because it’s pretty easy to do.”
The End of Never Trump
replies
Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the 2024 election saw the end of a host of political assumptions — about the country, the inevitability of the left’s generation-shifting agenda and the inability of the Republican Party to penetrate key demographics that have proven resistant to its message. But it also ends one of the most vile and corrupt strains of political activity in the past eight years: the professionalized NeverTrump movement, which raised scads of cash — “generational wealth,” in the phrasing of Steve Schmidt — selling an obviously failed product to Trump’s antagonists.

After the Democratic National Committee laid off hundreds, those employees are now calling out the party over the unexpected move and its spending habits during the 2024 election cycle, according to Axios. In the aftermath of the Harris campaign, Democrats have expressed anxiety over the potential millions of dollars in debt the DNC racked up trying to get the Vice President into the White House, four sources familiar with the situation said to Axios. Amid the fears of mounting debt, the DNC unexpectedly fired hundreds of employees, leaving many — including people in permanent and temporary positions — stunned, current and former employees told Axios.
Parents and students at an Oregon high school are in a furious uproar after two alleged pedophile teachers were arrested last week on charges they sexually abused on at least nine underage girls — and administrators reportedly knew about the sick allegations for years and did nothing.

I am so proud of everyone who has found the courage to speak out in the past few weeks!
Today Alastair Crooke, speaking on Judge Nap’s show, addresses the cynical Deep State attempt to disrupt Trump’s transition to power. At first glance, of course, the US authorization to Ukraine to use ATACMS for deep strikes into Russia is primarily a morale booster--for the Dems and, supposedly, for the Ukrainians.
But behind this morale raising measure there are other considerations. Within range of these missiles are the Donbas gas reserves, the third largest in all Europe, and there are additional gas reserves offshore from Crimea that can be attacked
While the nomination of Pete Hegseth stunned me at first, upon further reflection its genius became clear. Donald Trump isn’t bringing Pete Hegseth, a decorated Infantry major and longtime Fox host, into the Pentagon to don the green eye shades and closely manage every element of the military behemoth like a reborn Robert McNamara. Trump hired Hegseth to channel George Patton and apply a jump boot to the buttocks of our deadweight military along with an injection of combat arms leadership and attitude.
Democrats Still Don’t Get It
replies
When Kamala Harris finally conceded after Donald Trump’s decisive victory, she defiantly proclaimed “While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign…That is a fight I will never give up.”
What is she talking about? Harris’ campaign focused on only two topics: Donald Trump is an unhinged, unstable dangerous fascist, and unfettered abortion is good. She was fluent about, and committed to these concerns. But, what else was fueling the fight?
Trump was elected in part on promises to avoid “endless wars” of the sort that cost American blood and treasure in Afghanistan and Iraq but without resulting in strategic advantage or civilized calm.Yet as a Jacksonian, Trump also restored American deterrence through punitive strikes against ISIS and terrorist thugs like Baghdadi and Soleimani—without being bogged down in costly follow-ups. During the last four administrations, Putin stayed within his borders only during the Trump four years.
Sarah Palin appears to be venting her frustration over not receiving one of Donald Trump's coveted cabinet spots after supporting the President-elect throughout his campaign.
The former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate, an early and vocal supporter of Trump since at least 2011, made a series of cryptic posts to social media with screengrabs of other users who were questioning why she had not been drafted into his Cabinet.
At first, it was funny.
Watching the woke brigade predictably lose its collective s–t over Donald Trump’s stunning comeback win made me laugh out loud.
Not least because they’re always telling us what a terrible loser he is!
But now, two weeks later, these incessantly wailing, whining, woke wastrels have become a constant irritant to my eyes, my ears and my intestines. And in the words of “Network” movie star Peter Finch: “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

About Donald Trump’s construction of a cabinet for his second administration, one thing is clear: The president-elect is not choosing the path of least resistance. Trump now faces fights over four of his picks: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, and Matt Gaetz.
According to Israeli intelligence, more than 450 terrorists belonging to terrorist organizations in Gaza, mainly Hamas, are also employed by UNRWA.
"By not firing them, the UN Secretary-General and UNRWA's Commissioner General are brazenly demonstrating their determination to continue employing members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad even after having been presented with incriminating evidence to this effect. It is time for donor governments to wake up and stop funneling their taxpayers' money to members of designated terrorist organizations." – www.idf.il, August 5, 2024
President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday he would declare a “national emergency” to deport illegal migrants using military force once he steps back into office.
Trump made the statement on Truth Social, responding “TRUE!!!” in response to a post from Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton saying there are reports he would do so.
“GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program,” Fitton wrote on the social media platform.
Donald Trump is not in power. He has more than 2 months till he takes power. Yet, the very resounding election of Donald Trump, along with a Republican victory in the Senate and House of Representatives, is already sending major shockwaves across the Middle East. Donald Trump will not necessarily bomb Iran. But he will most certainly bankrupt them, as Mike Huckabee says. That scares the living daylights out of Iran also. There is very little doubt about this.
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.
Leftwing “Morning Joe” hosts and vicious Donald Trump critics Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski revealed Monday they had a “personal” sit-down with the president-elect in Florida to “restart communications” — after conceding that voters overwhelmingly made their choice.

He stumbled upon an individual near the streets of Maryland and Virginia who he thought was an easy enough target. He then attacked the seemingly defenseless man with his machete.
But little did Richmond know the man was an undercover police officer. Several cops had taken part in a secret police operation because of robberies that had occurred in the area.
Is California Turning Purple?
replies
Two days after Donald Trump won the election, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special legislative session to “safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration.”
But Newsom could have a fight on his hands with Californians who are clearly tired of Newsom’s and his fellow leftists’ “values.”
Almost across the board, California voters rejected leftist ballot initiatives, often by wide margins. “State voters took a hammer to the most progressive propositions,” noted I&I contributor Thomas Buckley.
Examples:
Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President-elect Donald Trump wanted to use the U.S. military against him.
Host Jake Tapper said, “President-elect Trump repeatedly called you the enemy from within. You and Speaker Pelosi specifically. And he said this about his enemies from within. Take a listen. On Fox News, Trump said, “I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people.

Under her ruthless leadership, her party lost the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote. You can’t say that enough.

Attacks on Pete Hegseth
replies
Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees are coming under attack. They all will, I suspect, to the extent that Democrats can come up with something to use against them. Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has already been attacked on two fronts, possibly representing vulnerability on his part, or more likely simply the importance of his role.
The first line of attack is outrageous. The Associated Press, a reliable shill for the Democratic Party, doesn’t like one of Hegseth’s tattoos. Not the Jerusalem cross, but the Latin phrase “Deus Vult,” which is tattooed on his arm:
