According to documentation obtained by congressional investigators, the Department of Health and Human Services sent unaccompanied minor children to sponsors who listen their address at a strip club in Florida. Once the kids got there, they were pimped out by "family" members. When asked about this horrific situation during a hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra had no explanation for the practice and little condemnation for the lack of oversight.

In roughly three weeks, the annual college football tradition that interests even those who are not ardent college football fans will be carried out – The Army vs. Navy football game. This matchup is held after the conclusion of the regular season for most teams, and even while over the years the two squads are generally not as competitive as the top schools, it is such a tradition that it draws fan interest nationwide.First meeting in 1890, the two military branches will be facing off for the 125th time as they have held this contest annually since 1930, and for a time, both were dominant
Two far-left, pro-Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) veterans are behind allegations that Trump defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s tattoos are tied to white supremacy, according to public reports and information.
The bogus allegations stem back three years, when Hegseth, as a member of the DC National Guard, was tasked with supporting the 2021 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden with crowd control and protecting the parade routes. One day prior to the inauguration, he was told by his unit leadership to “stand down,” and that his orders had been revoked.
Another large migrant caravan departed from southern Mexico with the goal of entering the U.S. before President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The migrants will likely make their way to Mexico City before breaking up and heading for various U.S. border crossing points.
Independent journalist Auden Cabello posted video on social media of a large migrant caravan departing on Wednesday from Tapachula, Chiapas, in southern Mexico. Cabello stated this is the sixth migrant caravan to depart the region since Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum took office earlier this year.
The International Criminal Court today endorsed and enforced terrorism. There is simply no other way to describe their absurd decision to issue arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant in the war Hamas launched against Israel on October 7, 2023, with a wave of atrocities that deliberately targeted thousands of unarmed civilians.
Rather than issue arrest warrants for Hamas leadership for those atrocities, the ICC has chosen to go after the Israelis for fighting Hamas where Hamas hides out -- among civilians:

It took just minutes for the left-wing media to have a liberal meltdown over President-elect Donald Trump’s new attorney general pick after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL ) dropped out over sex-related allegations.
Florida’s former attorney general, Pam Bondi, will serve as the next attorney general of the United States under the Trump Administration. As Republicans celebrate and applaud the president-elect’s pick, Democrats are already hitting the panic button due to her tough-on-immigration stance and vocal opposition to President Joe Biden’s expose of his family’s ties to the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
In other words, Bondi won’t pander to the left.
Helene continues to be a homewrecker. The hurricane that swept through western North Carolina in October, ravaging towns, destroying roads, burying people, and ruining lives, continues to haunt North Carolinians. Is the government doing what it should to help? It doesn't seem so.
We tend to forget unless reminded, but people are still suffering in North Carolina. America was assured that FEMA was there to help. And maybe they were, but we were also told that claims of FEMA slow walking desperately needed help and aid were nasty, baseless rumors. Until they weren't rumors. A FEMA crew leader told her team to avoid houses with Trump signs.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that President Joe Biden “still stands” by his claim that President-elect Donald Trump is an “existential threat,” even though he also wants a peaceful transfer of power.
Jean-Pierre was asked about Biden’s earlier descriptions of Trump during the campaign, given his warm reception for Trump last week and seeming comfort with the idea of a man Democrats likened to Adolf Hitler returning to office. She said: There was an election when the American people spoke. The will of the American people were very clear, right? And so the president is now in a situation where we have to deal with
Russian President Vladimir Putin claims the ballistic missile strike on Ukraine on Thursday was the debut of a new ‘unstoppable’ weapon as he blamed the West for turning his invasion of Ukraine into a global war.
Ukraine reported what it claimed as an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) strike on the central city of Dnipro on Thursday morning, prompting a flurry of global concern at what could be the first use of a true ICBM in anger in history. Yet Western governments and intelligence agencies were apparently reluctant to openly acknowledge the claim, Russia itself refused comment, and eventually even Ukraine itself cast doubts on its own assertions.
Here it is.
Matt Gaetz on Thursday announced he is withdrawing his nomination for US Attorney General after a meeting with senators.
The Deep State and media stenographers really ramped up their attacks against Matt Gaetz since Trump nominated him for US Attorney General last week.

The release of the leak came shortly after the House Ethics Committee decided not to release its lawfare investigation report
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his new pick for attorney general is Pam Bondi.
The announcement came just hours after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.
"For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore," Trump said in a post to Truth Social. "Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again."
Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Democrat Bob Casey has conceded to Republican Dave McCormick in the race for one of Pennsylvania’s seats in the US Senate.
The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, two days after Election Day.
On Nov. 13, Pennsylvania election officials announced the race was within the percentage for a legally required recount.

Kyiv’s former military commander in chief said the direct involvement of Russian allies in Ukraine means that World War III has officially begun.
“I believe that in 2024 we can absolutely believe that the Third World War has begun,” former military chief Valery Zaluzhny warned Thursday, according to Politico. Zaluzhny, who now serves as Ukraine’s envoy to the UK, said Kyiv’s conflict is now on a global scale following the deployment of North Korean troops in Russia earlier this month.
Along with the presence of North Korean and Iranian weapons on the frontlines, Zaluzhny said his nation was besieged by international forces, urging Kyiv’s allies to respond in kind.
The Biden administration told Congress it plans to cancel $4.65 billion in debt owed by Ukraine, approximately half of an economic loan offered earlier this year.

Yesterday, a madman on a stabbing spree mortally wounded three New Yorkers, who succumbed to their injuries. According to the New York Post and New York Daily News, the alleged perpetrator is a 51-year-old New York City shelter resident with a troubling criminal history that includes at least eight prior arrests—many for felonies—and at least one open case. Once again, New Yorkers find themselves asking the same dismal question suggested by Mayor Eric Adams, who spoke at a press conference after the attacks: What the hell was this guy doing on the street?

Pope Francis recently implied that Israel was committing “genocide” in its campaign against Hamas. While the pope was eager to apply the term to Muslims terrorists dying in the war, he has been reluctant to apply it to Christians being massacred by Muslims in the Middle East.
Over 50,000 Christians were massacred by Muslims in Nigeria. Dozens of churches were attacked, some on Christmas, without the pope ever condemning this as genocide. [SNIP] “I want to say clearly that I do not like it when people speak of a ‘genocide of Christians,’ for example in the Middle East,” Pope Francis argued, and claimed that he preferred the term “martyrdom.”

When Denver isn’t busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago, its mayor is trying to act like enforcing American immigration law and deporting illegal aliens is Tiananmen Square all over again.
The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?”

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. For “balance,” the ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif.
The ICC says the Israeli leaders are guilty of “crimes against humanity” in connection with the war started by Gaza. The ICC is a bad joke, but sadly, there are countries that take it seriously:

President-elect Donald Trump reacted to the news that his nominee for attorney general former Rep. Matt Gaetz suddenly withdrew his name from consideration.
'I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect.'
Gaetz, a unequivocal supporter of President Trump, had earned respect from the president-elect despite the salacious allegations that followed him.
Matt Gaetz withdrew as Donald Trump 's nominee for attorney general in a stunning reversal for the president-elect.
It followed a new allegation that the embattled Republican had a threesome that involved a minor.

President Biden and Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas seem to think their border policies haven’t done enough damage to the country, so they’re racing to ensure even more harm after they leave.

In his victory speech in 2008 — nearly a generation ago — Obama told the masses in Chicago: “It's been a long time coming. But tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
Upon reflection, Obama’s changes were far from transformative. Oh, the deep state got deeper. And the insurance industry received subsidies that over the years likely top a trillion dollars by now.
Obamacare also enabled him to enable the transgender fad that has poured millions into a few doctors and children’s hospitals while spaying and neutering thousands of innocent teens who were struggling with teenage hormonal imbalances.

Article III Project founder and president Mike Davis emphasized that New York authorities’ postponing Donald Trump’s sentencing illustrates how political the whole case was from the start in exclusive comments to PJ Media.

Now, corrupt Judge Juan Merchan and Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg admitted that Trump’s sentencing in the case involving alleged “hush money” payouts and records falsification has been indefinitely delayed. Davis sees this as a vindication not only of Trump but of all those who consistently exposed the corrupt lawfare.
