Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as ranking member on the high-profile panel and is “actively working to tank” AOC’s bid, according to Punchbowl News.
The former House speaker has been “making calls” urging Democrats to support Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), 35, the outlet reported Thursday.

CNN's post-election ratings continue to flail miserably following President-elect Donald Trump's triumph in the 2024 election.
And now, CNN can't "Beat Bobby Flay." Viewers would rather watch "Guy's Grocery Games" than "Anderson Cooper 360," according to the latest TV ratings. (X) Last week, CNN finished No. 17 among cable stations during primetime programming hours, losing additionally to Hallmark's campy Christmas movies, house-hunting escapades on HGTV, and even the History Channel.
In fact, CNN's small audience was outsized by those tuning into TBS, TLC, TNT, and Freeform, respectively, among others.

Washington— Chinese leader Xi Jinping would likely see President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his inauguration as too risky to accept, and the gesture from Trump may have little bearing on the increasingly competitive ties between the two nations as the White House changes hands, experts say.
Trump’s incoming press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on Thursday that Trump extended an invitation to the Jan. 20 ceremony. The Chinese Embassy in Washington said it had no information to provide. But experts don’t see Xi coming to Washington next month.

President-elect Donald Trump had a banner day Thursday, ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange surrounded by his family and he was declared the "Person of the Year" by Time Magazine. After all the things he has faced, it was a triumphal moment. The NYSE loved it and launched into chants of "USA! USA!" after he rang the bell. On top of that, the leftist fits about it were the cherry on the top.
The Democrats are going to have a long four years. As part of the "Person of the Year" process, the person selected also does an interview with the magazine.

MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Thursday on “The ReidOut” that President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet is like the characters in the bar featured in the 1977 movie “Star Wars.”
During a discussion on Trump’s defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, Reid said, “The people you used to work for in the United States Senate, they also know that and yet, what you’re seeing is senators capitulating in advance and essentially saying, yes, sir, we’ll take a knee to you. Whatever you want, sir. Including this bizarre cabinet, like a Star Wars Cabinet. They are just conceding.”

The forthcoming resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray is a “great day for America,” President-elect Donald Trump said on Truth Social.
Rumors abounded that Wray would step down ahead of Trump’s second term, and on Wednesday, he confirmed his intentions, making the announcement during what the Washington Post described as a townhall with the “FBI workforce.” Trump celebrated the announcement, concluding that this is the beginning of the end of the weaponization of justice in the United States. “The resignation of Christopher Wray is a great day for America as it will end the Weaponization

One of Google's billionaire founders is the latest tech giant to cozy up to Donald Trump, dining with the president-elect at his Mar-a-Lago home on Thursday night, according to multiple sources.
It is a remarkable turnaround for Sergey Brin, who described Trump's 2016 win as 'deeply offensive.'
But it shows how the online aristocracy is having to set aside their worries to grapple with a new reality. Details of his visit emerged hours after Facebook's parent company Meta and Amazon revealed they were giving $1million to Trump's inauguration fund.
All of them are playing catch-up

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have set new records on illegal immigration and legal immigration in fewer than four years.
Analysis from the Migration Policy Institute reveals that from Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2024, the Biden administration awarded naturalized American citizenship to almost 3.5 million legal immigrants. This is “by far the most of any single presidential term,” MPI reports. For perspective, the number of legal immigrants who secured naturalized American citizenship under Biden eclipses those who got citizenship under former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush, combined.

On September 15, Ryan Wesley Routh was trying to assassinate now-President-elect Donald J. Trump as he was golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. He hid in the bushes for 12 hours, armed with a scoped SKS-style rifle and GoPro. Trump got within 300-500 yards of Mr. Routh, who was in range to take a shot. Blessedly, he didn’t. A Secret Service agent saw a rifle barrel pointing out of the shrubbery and opened fire, engaging Routh, who fled the scene. He was arrested by local police later. Yet, while this was the correct course of action in protecting Mr. Trump, it’s a bit startling,

New York City Mayor Eric Adams stunned a room full of liberal reporters on Thursday after meeting with Trump’s incoming Border Czar Tom Homan.
Adams met with Tom Homan on Thursday to discuss the Trump Administration’s plan to deport criminal aliens.
The mayor held a press conference after his meeting and ripped into the liberal reporters.
“We’re not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants and long-standing New Yorkers,” Adams said after the meeting.

The winners of this year’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute “Peace Through Strength Award” are none other than Biden administration Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Austin, who has been criticized for implementing “woke” military policies as the Department of Defense (DOD) leader, and McConnell, who just went through yet another major health scare while on the job at the Capitol, were recognized for their “extraordinary contributions to the state of our national defense” in a press release from the Reagan institute.

Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth completely shut down CNN on Thursday afternoon following a meeting with Senator Rand Paul.
A reporter asked Pete Hegseth about a CNN report on his beliefs on gays in the military and former president Bill Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” (DADT) policy.
“Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, has repeatedly criticized policies allowing gay people to serve openly in the US military, calling them part of a “Marxist” agenda to prioritize social justice over combat readiness,” CNN reported.
“In his 2024 book “The War on Warriors” and in subsequent media promotions this year, Hegseth described
