The mayor of an affluent California coastal community criticized Democratic state lawmakers and expressed frustration over sanctuary state policies he alleges have allowed illegal immigration to flow uninterrupted after 21 migrants were recently taken into custody off the shores near his city. Eighteen of the migrants who were detained a mile off the waters of Newport Beach earlier this month by the U.S. Coast Guard were from Mexico, while two were from Uzbekistan and one was from Russia. They were handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Navy Adm. Samuel Paparo is head of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. In Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, he took part in a discussion at the liberal Brookings Institution. Paparo discussed at length the military strength of China — he called it “the most capable potential adversary in the world” — and the challenges facing the United States in countering China’s power in the region.
Paparo also addressed the growing costs of U.S. support of Ukraine, in its war with Russia, and Israel, in its war with Hamas and related organizations. This is from a report in the Defense Department publication defense.gov:
We are witnessing a historic counterrevolution after Trump's victory, far different from his first election in 2016.
The orthodox and the supposed scripted future are now suspect. And they are likely to be dethroned -- from the trivial to the existential.
Critics claim Trump has no mandate to stage such a counterrevolution. They argue that he did not win 51 percent of the popular vote or achieve a Reaganesque landslide in the Electoral College.
Yet all the initiatives he advanced and won on polled landslide public approval. Despite being the target of Democrat lawfare for years, a defiant Trump promised to end an open border, massive illegal immigration, rising crime, and soaring prices.
A mentally challenged President Joe Biden turned 82 years old this week, a much-diminished man from his heyday as a Democratic Party Senate stalwart in the last century. But one part of his character is undimmed by the passage of the years: His legendary spite and gleeful willingness to betray his political foes.
Knowing this, is he now about to set off a third world war to settle an election score with newly re-elected President Donald Trump, who Biden still calls an “existential threat” to America?
We’re talking of course of Biden’s inexplicably dangerous decision to encourage Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles against Russian territory, which has already prompted a response
President-Elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense has sparked predictable criticism, largely centered on claims of inexperience and unpreparedness — entirely from the experts who have been wrong about everything in the defense and foreign policy realm for the past 20 years.
Yet a careful review of Hegseth’s background, paired with historical context and the challenges facing the Department of Defense, demonstrates that he is not only qualified but also uniquely positioned to lead in a time when bold, reform-minded leadership is desperately needed.
Bill O'Reilly offers the view that Comcast and NBC News are "throwing MSNBC overboard," not "selling" it or "spinning it off," on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show.
BILL O'REILLY: Joe and Mika were ordered to go to Mar-a-Lago by Comcast, the parent company out of Philadelphia. They didn't just show up. And Trump says, "This is great, here they come to kiss my you-know-what, we'll get photo-ops," which they did. But Comcast said you two were going to have to try to mend some fences, you're going to go in there and try to tamp it down. because Comcast knew the next day they were going to announce that MSNBC is vapor.

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?
Matt Gaetz has withdrawn himself from consideration to President-Elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, the former Florida congressman announced on Thursday afternoon. “ I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”
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
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. Two sources familiar told Fox News Digital that the plan to slow down the Senate was spearheaded by Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., who was recently elected as the next Republican Senate leader.
"If Sen. Schumer thought Senate Republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime jobs
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.”
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."

Speculation has run rampant about whether Hillary Clinton may run for president in 2028 after a speaking event was announced in coming weeks.
Both Bill and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to speak in the coming weeks at the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas - which includes the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum.
The event, planned for the afternoon on December 7, will include remarks from the powerful couple regarding their past political and philanthropic work. 'The Clintons will share reflections on the noble and important work of public service – from securing peace, prosperity, and progress during the Clinton administration
John Kerry, who served as President Joe Biden’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate up until March of this year, said late last week that a climate emergency needed to be declared.
Kerry made the remarks on Thursday at a recent John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum as the 29th United Nations climate change conference (COP29) concluded.
“I think, personally, we’re on the brink of needing to declare a climate emergency, which is what we really have,” Kerry said. “And we need to get people to behave as if this really is a major transitional challenge to the whole planet, to everybody.”
There's nothing I love better than someone, who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend, claiming I'm an idiot, but it happens more often than you might think, especially when a Republican wins an election. And I especially love it when they go overseas and talk trash about the United States, as if they're somehow above it all, even though if it wasn't for this country, they wouldn't have the money, fame, and privilege they've earned thanks to the willingness of American citizens to pay for their art.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum quickly poured cold water on Donald Trump's claim he secured the 'immediate' end of migrants crossing the southern border - insisting instead that her country will 'not close borders.'
Sheinbaum contradicted the president-elect just hours after he announced on Truth Social the two world leaders had a 'wonderful' conversation that resulted in 'effectively closing our Southern Border.'
She countered: 'In our conversation with President Trump, I explained to him the comprehensive strategy that Mexico has followed to address the migration phenomenon, respecting human rights.
Remarkable footage shows Wisconsin women screaming in unison towards Lake Michigan in the wake of Vice President Harris's Nov. 5 loss to President-elect Trump.
The footage, which recently went viral on social media, was originally posted by a Facebook user named Tamara Gibbs. The event took place at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay on Nov. 9.
The extraordinary video shows around two dozen adult women screeching at the water. The screams eventually reach a crescendo, as video shows the shrieks getting gradually louder and louder until the group stopped.
"What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain
President Joe Biden's administration is urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of those as young as 18.
A senior Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private consultations, said Wednesday that the outgoing Democratic administration wants Ukraine to lower the mobilization age to 18 from the current age of 25 to expand the pool of fighting-age men available to help a badly outnumbered Ukraine in its nearly three-year-old war with Russia.
Democratic National Committee National Finance Committee member Lindy Li said Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris did not take “responsibility” for her campaign spending billions of dollars during a donor call. The Harris campaign and the Democratic Party reportedly spent almost $1.5 billion during her short presidential run, which she launched on July 21. Li, on “NewsNation Now,” said she was shocked by the lack of accountability for the spending and loss, noting the call seemed “self-congratulatory.”

The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) sent out a memo, exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, warning against the “colonial settler mythological” presentation of Thanksgiving and urging staff members to instead reflect on the plight of Native Americans and celebrate “Truthsgiving.”
The statement, sent out today and written by the director of the DHS Office of Indian Policy Angie DeLille, encourages staff to reconsider their usual Thanksgiving celebration and allocate money to “indigenous-owned businesses.”
“As we approach this holiday, it’s an important time to reflect on the historical truths surrounding this holiday, particularly the impact it has had on Tribal and urban American Indian communities in Minnesota,”
A deflated-looking Vice President Kamala Harris reemerged on Tuesday, filming a quick video message for her supporters that was posted on the X account for the Democratic Party.
'I just have to remind you, don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. You have the same power that you did before November 5th,' she said, referencing the date of the presidential election that she lost to President-elect Donald Trump.
In the past three weeks, Trump has gotten his transition going by naming a flurry of Cabinet appointees.
An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.
VP Kamala Harris’s campaign senior adviser, David Plouffe, admitted their internal polling never reflected the public polls. (snip) Plouffe said the campaign’s internal polling never had Harris ahead of Trump.
“We didn’t get the breaks we needed on Election Day,” he said. “I think it surprised people, because there was these public polls that came out in late September, early October, showing us with leads that we never saw.”
Ever since Vice President Kamala Harris picked Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate in early August, it was considered something of an odd choice. For one, it had seemed as if she was going to pick Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), though he reportedly botched his interview and didn't want to be number two, plus the Democratic Party has plenty of antisemitism to contend with. On Tuesday night, Chris Cillizza put out a lengthy thread on why Walz wasn't the right pick, which became a trending topic over X.
