Evidence, That DPRK Troops are On the
Ground in Kursk Region replies
For very obvious reasons I don’t believe them. However, that said, take an elevated position on the issue for a moment and ask yourself, ‘what are the implications if the United States Pentagon are fabricating claims about North Korean troops on the ground in Kursk, Russia?’
The United States Defense Department asserted today that DPRK troops are on the ground in the Kursk region. Actual North Korean troops on the battlefield fighting against Ukraine. Has anyone seen any single physical attributable example, a picture, a photograph, a video, a satellite image, a drone video, a declassified field report;
After spending billions to snare control of the massive media portfolio known as NBCUniversal, parent company Comcast now plans to break it up.
The Philadelphia media giant will move forward with an effort to spin off the bulk of its cable assets, which include MSNBC, CNBC, Universal Kids, USA, E!, Oxygen and Syfy, according to a person familiar with the matter. Only Bravo, viewed as an important feeder of programming to the Peacock streaming service, will stay with the NBC TV business. Comcast said in October it was going to study the ramifications of such a maneuver, but, clearly, it had already done so.
Billionaire and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has been reportedly shaking up the Washington Post after the paper engendered severe backlash for spiking an endorsement of Kamala Harris on the eve of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
Jeff Bezos set off a firestorm in the political world this year when he reportedly stepped in to spike the paper’s editorial board from endorsing Kamala Harris, which then prompted an exodus of over 250,000 subscribers and a a whirlwind of backlash from various media figures. Given that the paper has been hemorrhaging revenue to the tune of $77 million for well over a year, editors and managers have been secretly panicking

One way to determine the correctness of your decision is to observe your opponent’s reaction to it. By that metric, the 2016 election of Donald Trump to the presidency was just what America needed.
It can be said that Trump did more good for more people in less time than perhaps any other president in recent history, perhaps longer. Sylvester Stallone just referred to him as “another George Washington.” Opinions vary, but it’s indisputable that, with the exception of COVID, 2016–2020 were wonderful years.
Being an outsider with no experience in elected office, President Trump was unprepared for the level of resistance he encountered
Ukrainians have lit 1,000 candles to mark each day since Russia launched its full-scale invasion nearly three years ago. Poignant photos show soldiers laying down the flames in front of the statue of the Motherland, one of the main symbols of Kyiv on the 1000th day of the war. [Snip] It comes as the Kremlin marked 1000 days since the invasion by lowering the threshold at which Russian forces could use nuclear weapons. The new doctrine, which replaces the previous iteration outlined in 2020, allows Moscow to deploy its weapons if Russia or Belarus is threatened by a non-nuclear nation supported by a nuclear power.
The Russian military is accelerating its gains along the front line in Ukraine at a crucial time for the conflict. Data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) shows that Russia has gained almost six times as much territory in 2024 as it did in 2023, and is advancing towards key Ukrainian logistical hubs in the eastern Donbas region. Meanwhile, Ukraine's surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region is faltering. Russian troops have pushed Kyiv's offensive backwards. Experts have questioned the success of the offensive, with one calling it a "strategic catastrophe" given manpower shortages faced by Ukraine.
President-elect Donald Trump is nominating the billionaire professional wrestling mogul Linda McMahon to be secretary of the Education Department, tasked with overseeing an agency Trump has promised to dismantle.
McMahon led the Small Business Administration during Trump’s initial term from 2017 to 2019 and twice ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut.
McMahon served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009 and has spent years on the board of trustees for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. She’s seen as a relative unknown in education circles, though she has expressed support for charter schools and school choice.
Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer (R-KY), revealed that a new whistleblower has come forward alleging another incident of discrimination at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The allegations point to a FEMA contractor who suggested disaster victims with signs supporting Donald Trump outside their homes were viewed by officials as "domestic terrorists."
The allegations are nothing short of startling, and if true, they would blow a massive hole in the testimony provided by agency Administrator Deanne Criswell.
Criswell, testifying before the committee, insisted an incident in Lake Placid, Florida, in which a supervisor directed employees to avoid any damaged homes with Trump
On Friday, we wrote about how "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg used her television platform to accuse an at-the-time unnamed bakery of political discrimination after she attempted to order 48 desserts ahead of her birthday celebration, only to be told that they couldn't commit to making them due to equipment issues. “Now, I should tell you," she claimed during last Wednesday's episode, "Charlotte Russe [the dessert] has no political leanings, and the place that made these refused to make them for me."
“They said that their ovens had gone down, all kinds of stuff, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them,"
Could President-elect Donald Trump use the military within the U.S. to suppress protests on college campuses, patrol the southern border, and conduct mass deportations? By invoking the Insurrection Act — a little-known law that grants the president sweeping authority to deploy the military on American soil — he plans to do just that.

But in a moment when our democracy hangs by a thread, when the president-elect has openly declared potentially authoritarian ambitions, it could become the legal mechanism for Trump (or any president) to transform our constitutional democracy into a military state
President-Elect Trump recently announced his intention to create a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that will be led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. This will be an external initiative to identify ways to improve the economy, efficiency, and hopefully the effectiveness of the federal government from an organizational and operational perspective. Stated differently, it seems to be an expedited and expanded Grace Commission type effort with a reporting date of July 4, 2026, which is America’s 250th birthday.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted that his country made mistakes regarding immigration in recent years.
Trudeau posted videos in both English and French explaining the mistakes announcing the changes.
“Immigration. Let’s talk about it. In the last two years, our population’s grown fast…and increasingly, bad actors like fake colleges and big chain corporations have been exploiting our immigration system for their own interests."
“We’re doing something major,” he continued. “We’re reducing the numbers of immigrants that will come to Canada for the next three years.”
“Today, I’m going to let you in on what happened, where we made some mistakes, and why we’re taking this big turn,” he explained.
Is California Turning Purple?

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.
Elon Musk's SpaceX conducted its sixth flight test of the private space firm's massive Starship successfully on Tuesday — stress testing the heat shields and reusable landing equipment on a rocket that Musk hopes will one day transport humans and electrically powered motor vehicles to the moon and Mars.
Tuesday's mission saw the 400-foot-tall Starship stacked on top of the 233-foot-tall Super Heavy booster take off from Boca Chica, Texas early in its launch window, near of 5:01pm Eastern Time.
DailyMail.com's coverage, as well as SpaceX's own livestream for Starship Flight 6, are archived below.
President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday he was picking former talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Trump said in a statement that Oz, a cardiologist and Columbia University professor emeritus who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in Pennsylvania two years ago, would work closely with Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”
“Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country,” added Trump, 78.
The 2028 presidential election is still a long way off, though there's still been plenty of chatter about which name leads the pack to follow Donald Trump as the next Republican nominee. That's true for the Democrats as well now, after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump, and Democrats also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture control of the House. On Monday night, an Echelon Insights poll went out showing that amongst 14 candidates, as well as a "Someone else" response and "Unsure," Harris still has a healthy lead, with 41 percent saying they'd vote for her if the 2028 primary were held today.
A human trafficking expert railed against the Biden-Harris administration on Capitol Hill Tuesday for losing track of more than 320,000 migrant children, sharing a horrific tale of one girl’s abuse as an example of the “dangerous loopholes” that have led to widespread exploitation.
Alicia Hopper, who has provided oversight to non-governmental groups and other organizations being exploited by human traffickers for sex or forced labor, told members of the House Homeland Security Committee that federal agencies tasked with securing the border have instead turned it into “a trafficking pipeline.”
“As a Hispanic mother, this crisis is deeply personal to me,” said Hopper, who consults for Sadulski Enterprises, LLC.
The news of President Trump’s return to the Oval Office and his excellent cabinet nominations may be causing Biden Deep State officials to undertake desperate measures to evade accountability.[Snip] On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee’s X account obtained footage of a truck from a paper-shredding company stationed outside the DOJ. While it’s unclear exactly why the truck was there, the fact that this vehicle arrived just before Trump entered office again is noteworthy.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg pushed Tuesday to create a new constitutional creature: the layaway president.
It was once common for stores to hold expensive items that you really wanted but could not make the payment.
So they were tagged and kept on the shelf until you were ready to redeem your item.
For Bragg, that leaves Donald Trump tagged until 2029.
In a filing before Manhattan Justice Juan Merchan, Bragg suggested that the court should stay the pending criminal case and defer any sentencing “until after the end of defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”
That would allow a city prosecutor to put a leash on a sitting president for four years.
It's an old saying repeated by military strategists who consistently warn, "Don't prepare to fight the last war..."
Their inference is that, while there are lessons to be learned from studying the last conflict, the next one may well be profoundly different than what you previously endured, catching a nation totally unprepared.
For America, the "next one" may already be upon us. It is not the scenario we anticipated, namely enemy aircraft coming over the pole to attack with nuclear weapons, or a catastrophic exchange of ICBMs. Even the lessons gained from the current Russian war on Ukraine may not be fully applicable to America's defense of the homeland.
Nikki Haley has blasted lefty MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for sitting down with President-elect Donald Trump despite years of viciously criticizing him — suggesting they only did so to boost ratings.
Haley, a former Republican presidential candidate, laid into Scarborough and Brzezinski after they revealed on air Monday they had a face-to-face with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in a bid to “restart communications.”
“Let’s be clear, Joe and Mika didn’t suddenly see the light, they saw their ratings,” the former US ambassador to the United Nations wrote on X on Monday.
“They realized they needed Trump for their survival.”
Deep blue New York and New Jersey saw the largest shifts nationwide toward President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election, according to a top analyst.
Dave Wasserman, a senior editor and elections analyst with the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, found an 11.5% swing toward Trump in the Empire State and a similarly impressive 10.1% movement in the Republican’s favor in the Garden State compared to the 45th president’s 2020 results.
Florida (9.8%), Massachusetts (8.7%), California (8.4%), Texas (8.3%), Mississippi (7.7%), Rhode Island (7.0%), Tennessee (6.5%), and Illinois (6.4%) rounded out the top ten.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace fired off a brutal response when asked why she does not want the first trans member of Congress to use women's restrooms. [SNIP] Mace, R-S.C., added: 'I'm a victim of abuse myself. I'm a rape survivor. I have PTSD from the abuse I've suffered at the hands of a man, and I know how vulnerable women and girls are in private spaces.
'So I'm absolutely, 100 percent going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women's restroom, in our locker rooms, [or] in our changing rooms.'
The legal journey of Tina Peters, former Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, has become emblematic of the contentious debates surrounding election integrity and judicial fairness. Peters now seeks bond pending appeal, citing significant procedural and constitutional concerns in her trial. Peters was convicted on charges that stemmed from her decision to hire a cybersecurity expert to create forensic images of Mesa County’s election management system . This action followed a directive from the Colorado Secretary of State to perform a software update, which Peters believed might erase key election records. Her intent was to comply with federal laws
Residents of a North Carolina town where Hurricane Helene hit last month have encased a Bible discovered stuck to a post.
North Carolina resident Benjamin Fuller was one of the first to discover the Bible and noted that it was open to the Book of Revelation, chapters 14 and 15.
In a video, Fuller states, “The man who lives here had to be rescued off of the roof by a raft, and they’re just demoing the entire house.”
He adds, “And this Bible was found on a pole open to Revelation.”
There are specific actions the federal government could take to help clean up elections, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily last week.
Host Mike Slater asked Whatley what the feds can do when it comes to election integrity.“Because I know this is a states thing and even a local thing, but what role can the federal government play in cleaning things?” Slater asked.Whatley acknowledged that elections are supposed to be conducted by the states, which determine “time, place and manner of the elections.” However, the federal government, he said, can come in and “say certain things need to happen.”

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick to serve as commerce secretary.Lutnick, 63, has served as the co-chair of Trump's transition team and was a key fundraiser for Trump's 2020 and 2024 campaigns. Billionaire and Trump backer Elon Musk endorsed Lutnick for Treasury secretary.
A source familiar with the selection process said that it's a free for all for Treasury secretary and that there's a mad dash to find someone pro-tariff to lead the Treasury with Lutnick being tapped to lead the Commerce Department.
Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, who has presidential ambitions, finally weighed in on his party's efforts to steal a U.S. Senate seat in the Commonwealth. "I want to be clear: any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process. The rule of law matters in this Commonwealth, and as I have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions," Shapiro released in a statement. "As Governor, I will continue working to protect our democracy and the votes of all eligible Pennsylvanians -
House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday refused to say whether newly elected Congressman Tim “Sarah” McBride is a man or a woman.
Delaware state senator Sarah McBride, a biological male who has since ‘transitioned’ to a woman, became the first transgender elected to the U.S. House of Representatives after winning Delaware’s only House seat.
“Tonight is a testament to Delawareans that here in our state of neighbors, we judge candidates based on their ideas and not their identities,” McBride said earlier this month.

A prominent Democratic strategist left a CNN panel speechless after wildly suggesting the US military could open fire on Americans who try to prevent President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation of illegal migrants.
Julie Roginsky made the claim on CNN’s “NewsNight” late Monday — just hours after Trump confirmed he would utilize “military assets” to help boot illegal migrants from the US after he returns to the White House early next year.
“I promise you with every fiber of my being, because I’ll probably be one of those people, that if anyone comes for these people and tries to drag them out by force, there will be protests,” said Roginsky,
President Donald Trump revealed new details of his meeting with MSNBC co-hosts after viewers mocked the famous television couple for 'bending the knee' to the president-elect they once denounced as a fascist.

During the 2024 election, they repeatedly denounced Trump as a racist, sexist, fascist, and told viewers he did not deserve to be president. (Snip) Trump said Scarborough requested the meeting and that pair traveled to Palm Beach, Florida, to meet on Friday morning at Mar-a-Lago.

Lawyering Up in Fear of Being ‘Criminally Investigated’ replies
Multiple former and current DOJ and FBI officials are considering hiring lawyers “in anticipation of being criminally investigated” by the incoming Trump administration, three people with knowledge of their deliberations told NBC News.
The preemptive initiative underscores a serious belief that President-elect Donald Trump will make good on his promise to purge the federal government of rogue and corrupt actors within the administrative state.Last week, Trump transition adviser Mark Paoletta warned DOJ career attorneys that subverting, undermining, or sabotaging Trump’s incoming agenda will be cause for termination.
When Donald Trump shocked the world by winning office in 2016, I was still laboring away among the lefties in corporate America and not yet rescued by PJ Media. Thus, I was subjected daily to the bitter inanities of that political persuasion.
Naturally, everything the newly elected president did was the Worst Thing Ever. Then as now, lefties loved to disparage Trump's cabinet picks and other nominees as unqualified and inferior. When he named school choice advocate Betsy DeVos as U.S. Department of Education secretary, for example, my co-workers fumed

A radical, leftist judge was just handed a lifetime appointment to the 11th Circuit, and Republicans have no one to blame but themselves.
As RedState recently reported, Judge Embry Kidd's nomination to the 11th Circuit was set to be voted on by the full Senate chamber Monday night. We'll cut to the chase — Embry was approved by a vote of 49-45, but here's the kicker: Five Republicans didn't show up for the vote.

The fragile mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, already has ChiTown residents boiling over his Sanctuary City policies favoring illegal immigrants over the neediest and homeless of Chicago's American residents (not to mention his toadying obsequience to every demand of the mercenary malcontents of the Chicago Teachers' Union), made the mistake of trying to pile on the pain with a tax hike on real estate.
After Bud Light contracted Dylan Mulvaney, a "transgender influencer," for an ad campaign that blew up in the company's face, you'd think other major corporations would learn some lessons.

Any mention of cars. I have no idea what I just watched, and judging by the replies to the video, I don't think anyone else does either.
Megyn Kelly excoriated MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts and Donald Trump detractors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski as “dishonest jokes” after the pair revealed on their show Monday morning they met with the president-elect in Florida.
“Go f–k yourselves,” the conservative podcast host said in her message to the lefty broadcast couple. “Go f–k yourselves, you dishonest jokes of faux journalists.” “What an absurd farce that was,” she said in response to the two telling viewers they had a “personal” sit-down with Trump after reaching out to him.

A hacker is said to have gained access to a trove of damaging files related to Matt Gaetz, including testimony from a woman who claims they had sex when she was 17.
A file of 23 exhibits related to allegations against Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General were accessed by a man using the pseudonym Altam Beezley, The New York Times reported.
The documents are said include sworn testimony from two witnesses at the center of the lurid claims against Gaetz.

The sprawling intelligence and law enforcement agency ran the Russia collusion hoax, hamstringing President Donald Trump during his entire first term in office.

Yet these are the same two central witnesses the House Ethics Committee has relied on for its critical report of Gaetz
According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity.
It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump. Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most.
Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned. Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively

Biden’s surprise decision on Sunday, November 17, 2024, to authorize Ukraine to utilize long-range U.S. missiles capable of reaching 186 miles into Russia requires explanation. (As of this writing, Ukraine has already fired a missile into Russia.) Does the U.S. military believe that allowing Ukraine to fire a few U.S.-manufactured Army Tactical Missile systems (“ATACMS”) into Russia will win the war for Ukraine? Or is Biden’s decision evidence that the United States is in a military coup d’etat aimed at escalating the war in Ukraine so Donald Trump will not be able to settle the war should he manage to be inaugurated in approximately two months, on January 20, 2025?
Tech billionaire Elon Musk publicly backed President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), pushing back against concerns over allegations of misconduct against him.
Musk, in a statement early Tuesday on the social platform X, noted Gaetz has “an axe to grind,” which he said was necessary for the job. “Matt Gaetz has 3 critical assets that are needed for the AG role: a big brain, a spine of steel and an axe to grind,” Musk wrote. “He is the Judge Dredd America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison.”
“Gaetz will be our Hammer of Justice,” he added.
Two women testified to the House Ethics Committee that they were paid for “sexual favors” by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, a lawyer for the two women told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
Additionally, one of the women testified to the congressional panel that she witnessed Gaetz having sex with her then-underage friend in 2017, the lawyer, Joel Leppard, said on “OutFront.” CNN reported that detail Friday.
Gaetz has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Leppard said it was his client’s testimony that she did not believe Gaetz knew at the time that her friend was underage.

Russian president Vladimir Putin revised Russia’s nuclear doctrine Tuesday, reducing its threshold for using nuclear weapons just as the Russian military announced that Ukraine had launched long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. into Russian territory.
Putin’s new nuclear doctrine proclaims that Russia can use nuclear weapons in response to an attack from a non-nuclear state with support from a nuclear state, a clear reference to U.S. support for Ukraine. The doctrine formalizes a policy Putin announced in September during a televised meeting with top officials. “[Russian] President [Vladimir Putin] gave the relevant instructions prior.

Puck News partnered up with Echelon Insights to determine how Donald Trump's supposedly outrageous Cabinet selections had impacted his post-election popularity. The mainstream media spent the last two weeks freaking out over Trump's election and then most of last week painting his nominations as evidence of the End Times.

South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune on Sunday threatened to slap the International Criminal Court (ICC) with sanctions if it did not drop its application for an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Thune – who was selected Wednesday to be the next Senate Majority Leader once the GOP takes the upper chamber come January 2025 – warned that if the current Democratic leader does not take on the international court, he will.
"If the ICC and its prosecutor do not reverse their outrageous and unlawful actions to pursue arrest warrants against Israeli officials, the Senate should immediately pass sanctions legislation, as the House has already done
Russia accused Ukraine of firing a barrage of US-made long-range missiles for the first time to attack its Bryansk region Tuesday — in a major escalation on the 1,000th day of war.

The debris from one missile fell on a military facility in the region, causing a fire but no widespread damage or casualties, the ministry added.
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters joined CNN’s Pamela Brown on Monday for a heated interview about his plan to implement the Bible into U.S. history classrooms in Oklahoma.

He further announced the implementation of a new Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism and said a prayer for our country’s new leadership following President Trump’s electoral victory.
Senate Republicans opted to delay votes and draw out floor action on Monday night after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., sought to stack additional judicial confirmation votes on the calendar ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Mainstream Britain might finally be waking up to the fact that it elected a totalitarian government that increasingly seems to behave like the Chinese Communist Party.
Since 2014, British police have reportedly recorded more than 250,000 non-crime hate incidents in England and Wales. The non-crime incidents, logged in a system, can even show up, when employers ask for a copy of a prospective employee's criminal record.
Daily Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson... was visited by police earlier this November, informing her that she was accused of a "non-crime hate incident." A tweet she had posted more than a year ago, the police told her, was "stirring up racial hatred."
CNN contributor Scott Jennings mocked the left's constant messaging to their supporters that Donald Trump is a fascist, only to turn around and quickly start kissing his ring following the election.
The sudden normalization of the president-elect began when Joe Biden hosted Trump for a cordial White House meeting, shaking hands with the man he's called an "existential threat to democracy" for what seems like years.
Things rose to the level of absurd when yesterday, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski admitted to visiting Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Jennings could hardly stifle the laughter when joining a CNN panel to discuss the sudden shift.
Can Israel trust a leader like Ramaswamy? It’s too earlier to judge. Certainly, Vivek has made it clear that he will stand with Donald Trump on nearly every issue. However, Vivek is also a strong isolationist. Is that what Donald Trum p is too? Not necessarily. In many ways, Donald Trump has made it clear that he is very much NOT an isolationist. He is totally against non-ending wars. But he certainly sees the USA as the country that needs to make sure that no regional conflicts spiral out of control and turn into world wars.
The vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua has expanded its territory to at least 16 US states — an area that includes half of America’s population, The Post has learned.
Homeland Security officials last week were warned in an internal department intelligence memo about TdA’s growing presence across the country, most recently in Washington, DC, Virginia, Montana and Wyoming.
The gang already has footholds in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin, according to the memo and previous reporting by The Post.
As you’ve probably figured out, the headline above is a trick, a rhetorical question. Because we know going in that our government has spent so much since the COVID-era began that there’s no question it can be cut sharply. And, in answer to the question above, $2 trillion is just a start.
But that’s just a base number set by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, tagged by President-elect Donald Trump to head the new Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE” for short.
“As President Trump said, what we need is common sense,” Musk said. “This won’t be business as usual.
Donald Trump has nominated a number of highly controversial candidates to serve in his Cabinet - but a new poll claims they have a slight edge on public approval, with one glaring exception.
The president-elect has selected a group of hardline conservatives and MAGA loyalists to serve in his administration. Some have unorthodox views and little government experience, while others are hampered by criminal allegations.
However, an Echelon Insights poll shows nearly every member with a slight favorability.
The Georgia Court of Appeals on Monday abruptly canceled previously scheduled oral arguments in President-elect Donald Trump’s effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the 2020 election interference case against Trump and 14 others.
Oral arguments were initially set to take place on Dec. 5 but have been canceled “until further order,” according to the appeals court’s one-sentence filing. Willis’ sprawling racketeering and influence case against Trump, 78, and his co-defendants has been on hold since June – pending the outcome of the president-elect’s attempt to remove the Atlanta-area district attorney from the-

Students at a Philadelphia school are eating lunch at 9am because the district is so crowded with immigrants that canteen dining slots have been staggered throughout the day.
Youngsters at Lincoln High School also lug their backpacks around all day, because there are not enough lockers to go around in a school that this now 1,000 kids above capacity.
Officials have added makeshift divisions to increase the number of available classrooms, but teachers say the new walls are too thin to stop noise and have fallen down during lessons.
Stocks in packaged-food companies have been under pressure in the past few days after President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a well-known critic of Big Food’s influence on government, to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Among the actions laid out in his “Make America Healthy Again
” plan, Kennedy said he would stop allowing beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to use food stamps to buy soda or processed foods that are widely considered by nutritionists to be unhealthy.

We’ve reported on how FBI officials were panicking when Trump won the presidential election, worrying that there would be a "bloodbath" of layoffs as the President-elect cleaned house after their endless persecutions of him.
But now FBI and Department of Justice officials are freaking out even more with the announcement that Trump picked former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general.
Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.

Last week, David Axelrod tossed a name into the ring for the next DNC chair: Rahm Emanuel.

Powerful forces are out to derail Pete Hegseth’s bid to become secretary of defense and carry out President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to reform the Pentagon.
The Army veteran and former Fox News host has been hammered by a stream of inflammatory accusations in recent days, from past allegations of sexual assault to absurd and baseless claims that his faith-based tattoos reveal him as a white supremacist.
Hegseth, of course, has never faced criminal charges, has never been connected to any white supremacy groups or activities and has never deviated from his loyalty to country — so these preposterous attacks merely reveal the desperation of those seeking to subvert his confirmation.
