Republicans Celebrate 'Huge Win' for Trump
In Congress After Third Spending Bill Passes
Posted By: Imright, 12/21/2024 1:26:01 AM
Republicans scored a significant victory after successfully passing a spending bill on Friday to avert a looming government shutdown with just 12 hours to spare. The new 118-page bill, which overcame partisan tensions, reflects a strategic win for GOP lawmakers after 38 Republicans voted against the Trump-backed bill on Thursday. After negotiating, lawmakers agreed to trim the funding bill to just under 600 pages after the initial draft was more than 1,300 pages and included unnecessary spending, such as a pay increase for Congress members.

Phoenix, Arizona— Steven K. Bannon, former Trump White House chief strategist and host of ‘War Room,’ told Breitbart News that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) must cede his gavel by the end of 2024 for the good of the MAGA movement.
Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, caught up with Breitbart News at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix on Saturday night and called for Johnson to step down within days. He detailed that there is a swell of opposition to Johnson within his own conference as the presidential election certification looms on January 6.Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and his colleagues “are going to try and play every game
Democrat Senator John Fetterman has made a stunning claim about his party's messaging on Donald Trump, as he defends the former president's voters and dismissing claims he's a 'fascist.'
The Pennsylvania Senator revealed on ABC's 'This Week' that he is well acquainted with many Trump voters in his state, and their motivations for supporting the GOP candidate are not as sinister as they are being made to seem.
'I never believed it was about fascism... it's not a word I would use,' Fetterman declared on the Sunday morning show, speaking on Vice President Kamala Harris's repeated attacks on the former president.

ambassador to Switzerland, announces other picks 4 replies
President-elect Trump on Sunday named Callista Gingrich, wife to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, as one of his latest U.S. ambassador nominees.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump wrote that he picked Gingrich to serve as U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, citing her previous ambassadorial experience in his first administration. Gingrich, and the other ambassador nominees, will need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
"Happily married to the Great Newt Gingrich, Callista previously served, with distinction, as my Ambassador to the Holy See," Trump's post read. "During her tenure, Callista worked to advance and defend international religious freedom, combat human trafficking, and provide humanitarian assistance around the World."
A ski lift at a resort in Colorado cracked mid-day Saturday, leaving up to 174 skiers and snowboarders stranded for hours.
The gondola lift at Winter Park Resort came to a halt when its system detected a crack shortly after noon, resort rep Jen Miller said.
The lift passengers were each lowered down by ropes, Miller said. The process took around five hours, leaving some riders stuck in the air for the better part of their day. (Photos) Ski patrollers reached the cabin of each suspended gondola from above and lowered the passengers’ equipment to the ground before using a rope attached to each seat to safely move everyone back
Pennsylvania Officials of outgoing President Joe Biden's birthplace are demanding that his name be removed from a prominent local landmark following his controversial decision to pardon a federal judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in the state. The move has sparked outrage in Scranton, where Biden has deep ties, with many arguing that the pardon tarnishes the president's legacy. The expressway, which honors Biden's contributions to the city and the country, now faces renewed scrutiny as local leaders demand that his name be stripped from the site in response to the controversial pardon.
President Trump on Sunday fired back at Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino for claiming “every square meter” of the Panama Canal belongs to Panama.
On Saturday Trump warned that the United States could seize back the Panama Canal unless the country agrees to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.
“The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama. If the principles, both moral and legal,
More footage of the Biden Regime’s sabotage of Trump’s border policy was released last week, showing how the government is still hauling away border wall materials in Arizona to be auctioned off at extremely low prices.
This comes after investigative reporter James Lalino discovered earlier this month that the Biden Regime is using its final weeks in power to auction off massive amounts of unused border wall materials that have been left sitting in the Arizona desert since Biden took office.
Every day, an amount of materials that could build up to half a mile of wall are being transported north to be sold, border patrol agents said.
This is the remarkable moment Tiger Woods' son Charlie hit his first ever hole-in-one on national TV at the PNC Championship on Sunday.
Charlie, 15, was playing alongside his superstar dad in Orlando when the incredible moment occurred on the par-3 fourth hole, leading to wild celebrations.
The pair were already sitting pretty among the leaders of the tournament when the teenager stepped up to take his tee shot. Incredibly, it landed a few feet in front of the hole and then bounced straight down the cup - much to the surprise of Charlie himself.
Back on the tee, he looked around in shock, asking whether the ball had gone in.
As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been one of the foremost advocates for election integrity across America and a nightmare for the Uniparty.
He is still standing strong even after surviving an impeachment effort by the Texas State Legislature and constant attacks from the left.
By contrast, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) remains a consistently squishy RINO committed to folding to Democrats on a regular basis.
The two publicly sparred after Paxton called out Cornyn’s America-last posture by being one of 22 Republicans to vote for a massive $95.3 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan with no border funding in early 2024.
The U.S. will exit the globalist World Health Organization (W.H.O.) on day one of President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration taking power, a report Sunday predicts.
The U.S. is the W.H.O.’s largest single donor. It provides the home to over 8,000 career bureaucrats with about 16 percent of its budget, which in 2024 stood at U.S.$6.83 billion. It has previously been criticised by conservative voices for its extraordinary drain on U.S. taxpayer funds while Trump has called it a slave to China’s own global ambitions. (X)

The family of Wisconsin school shooting victim Rubi Patricia Vergara has said they forgive killer Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow as they give a message to the family.
Vergara, 14, was one of the victims to die after 15-year-old Rupnow opened fire in a study hall at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday before turning the gun on herself.
In a shocking moment during the 14-year-old teenager's funeral service on Saturday, Vergara's family forgave Rupnow and shared a sympathetic view of her actions.
The Democratic-led Senate on Friday confirmed President Joe Biden’s 235th judicial nominee, surpassing the number of judges Republicans confirmed during the first Trump administration. “The majority has now confirmed more judges under President Biden than any majority has confirmed in decades. This is historic,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said after the upper chamber confirmed Serena Raquel Murillo to serve as district judge for the Central District of California.
“We have confirmed more judges than under the Trump administration, more judges than any administration in this century, more judges than

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that Republicans were “taking orders from the world’s richest man,” Elon Musk, regarding a failed continuing resolution (CR).
In a post on X, Clinton accused Republicans of being “on course to shut down the government over the holidays.” “If you’re just catching up: the Republican Party, taking orders from the world’s richest man, is on course to shut down the government over the holidays, stopping paychecks for our troops and nutrition benefits for low-income families just in time for Christmas,” Clinton wrote in her post.
The current state of the United States Congress is nowhere near what the Founding Fathers had in mind. [snip] The newspaper discovered that Rep. Granger was now the resident of a local memory care and assisted living home and had been for some time after she was found confused and wandering around her neighborhood. Assistant Executive Director for the memory care/assisted living home, Taylor Manzeil, confirmed that Granger was a resident, saying, "This is her home."
CBS News’ Lesley Stahl is having a bit of heartburn after the 2024 election. Donald Trump is coming back. The GOP retained control of Congress. The media establishment was once again skinned alive by the tens of millions of Americans who rightly rejected, ignored, or outright dismissed their shoddy narratives against Trump and the ones manufactured to prop up Vice President Kamala Harris. So, it’s somewhat laughable that she fears legacy media is dead.
Stahl and The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan spoke about the latter’s latest book at the 92NY Center’s Recanati-Kaplan Talks in late November. Stahl relayed a
A so-called TikTok ‘prankster’ known for wreaking havoc on the public for social media views, was arrested for spraying poison all over food in a Mesa, Arizona, Walmart.
The suspect, 27-year-old Charles Smith, was stupid enough to video his face while committing the crime. He then uploaded the video of himself committing the felony to social media.
According to court documents, Smith went back inside Walmart 10 minutes after he committed the crime and “attempted to collect the items he sprayed.”
Smith wheeled some of the poisoned items to the back of Walmart.
Newscaster Lesley Stahl claims she “doesn’t know what to do” about the embarrassing demise of the legacy media.
She was lamenting to her colleague, Peggy Noonan, that “we are at the point where even the president,” then corrected herself saying, “Elon Musk,” asserted that legacy media is dead. She appeared extremely worried, spilling her deepest concerns, in front of an empathetic audience gathered at the 92nd St. YMCA studio in New York.
It was as if Stahl was having an out-of-body experience, where she failed to factor in herself, in accounting for the reason why audiences were abandoning network news in droves.

A Maryland woman dubbed the "Black Widow" for murdering two husbands and a boyfriend for insurance money is now free after President Joe Biden commuted her 40-year prison sentence, undercutting the White House's claim that Biden released only "non-violent" offenders in a clemency bonanza last week.
Among the 1,500 federal convicts granted clemency was Josephine Virginia Gray, who was sentenced to 40 years in prison in 2002 for insurance fraud schemes connected to the murders of three men between 1974 and 1996. Gray was resentenced to the same amount of time again in 2006 following a series of appeals.

using new detection tool, but FAA lacks resources 18 replies
As drone sightings over New Jersey continue to raise questions, a new tool could bring answers about the source of these flying vehicles — if the government could get it off the ground.
Earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began requiring all unmanned aircraft systems to be equipped with Remote ID technology, which makes every equipped drone uniquely identifiable to authorities, like a license plate on a car.
The FAA announced that it would provide a database that could be accessed by local law enforcement, but nearly one year later, local authorities still can't get into it themselves.
In a Senate chamber that has seen more backroom deals and spineless compromises than bold conservative action, Mitch McConnell, the epitome of a RINO, took to the podium to deliver his final speech as Senate Republican Leader.
The Kentucky senator’s comments, filled with self-praise and subtle digs at his conservative critics, summed up a career marked by giving in to opposition.
McConnell, who has held the reins of Senate GOP leadership since 2007, boasted about his so-called “accomplishments,” which often came at the expense of the conservative values he was elected to uphold.
What McConnell sees as “making a difference,” many conservatives recognize as selling out.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced tough questions from reporters on Friday regarding outgoing President Joe Biden’s noticeable absence during his final days in office, despite numerous pressing issues unfolding in Washington. This comes amid speculation that Biden is “quiet quitting” and failing to lead his party to the finish line.
The press briefing opened with a question on the minds of many Americans wondering where Biden has been amid the ongoing spending bill battle that needs to be passed in order to avoid a government shutdown.
If anyone in the future cares enough to write an authentic history of the 2024 presidential campaign, they might begin by noting that American politics exists downstream of American culture, which is a deep and broad river. Like any river, American culture follows a particular path, which has been reconfigured at key moments by new technologies. In turn, these technologies, which redefine both space and time—canals and lakes, the postal system, the telegraph, railroads, radio and later television, the internet, and most recently the networking of billions of people in real time on social media platforms—set the rules by which stories are communicated, audiences are configured, and individuals define themselves.
Hundreds of students at Madison High School marched to the state Capitol on Friday to demand an “assault weapons” ban after the December 16, 2024, Abundant Life Christian School handgun attack.
The Cap Times reported the students chanted “books, not bullets” and “no more silence, end gun violence.” The Wisconsin Examiner quoted the high schoolers saying, “Graduations not funerals.”
Once at the Capitol, the students called for an “assault weapons” ban and enhanced background checks.The students did not mention that the alleged 15-year-old shooter did not use a firearm categorized as an “assault weapon”
