Pete Hegseth was sworn in Saturday morning as Trump’s Secretary of Defense following a nailbiter vote on the Senate Floor. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate voted on confirmation of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary Friday night. RINO Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) on Thursday voted against advancing Hegseth’s nomination to a final floor vote. RINO Mitch McConnell (R-KY) then joined his fellow RINOs voting against Hegseth Friday, teeing up a tiebreaker vote by Vice President JD Vance. Vance was the tiebreaker, voting in favor of Hegseth’s nomination.

Feel better by writing what you think of traitor McConnel. Thusan Collins has always been a lefty ho. The lofty left winger @itch Murkowski who needed to take her law exam 5x before she passed, got her first job by being 'appointed' by her father. This lefty trash has no problem voting with the community organizer punk 79 times but is always ready to vote against Republicans. I wrote to all 3 swine, for some reason I don't believe I will get a Christmas card back. Another box of Kleenex please.

I'll ho contearian here but there is little in Hegseth's resume that shouts he is qualified to be Secretary of Defense. His three marriages and two divorces are not exactly something to be proud of. Yes, he has a cute brood of photogenic children. He has seen combat and received two Bronze stars. The only thing he has going for him is his redeemed personal life combat experience. an Ivy Leauge education Is not captured by the defense contractors and has Trump's support. I hope he does well in this job. I do not fault the three GOP senators who voted against him

The first week of the second Trump presidency is over, and the liberal media decided to use it as one last effort, though I’m sure they’ll try again in the future, to make us care about January 6. When Donald J. Trump was being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States last Monday, CNN noted the surreal aspect that this was the site where Trump supporters walked around peacefully in what has laughably been construed as an act of armed rebellion. No one cares, guys. (X Video) Your little committee couldn’t make us care about this little riot that most Americans moved on

President Trump’s inauguration last week set viewership records with an estimated 80.7 million viewers, the President announced. The previous record is held by Ronald Reagan, who had an estimated 41.8 million television viewers for his first inauguration. Trump nearly doubled this number. Trump’s inauguration ceremony was originally planned for the West Front of the U.S. Capitol but was moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to frigid weather conditions. Despite the limited attendance in the Rotunda, thousands packed into the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, and attended watch parties across the country to watch the historic ceremony. Almost every seat in the 20,000-seat arena was filled.

These paragraphs might be the most satisfying to read for a long time in an NBC News story: President Donald Trump's pardons gutted the prosecutorial unit at the Department of Justice responsible for the January 6 cases. Some described it as being part of the worst days of their careers. We don’t care. Others have already left the DOJ since last summer, joining the Kamala Harris campaign with the explicit hope that their work could help prevent Trump from killing the January 6 cases (via NBC News): (X) Federal prosecutors in the now-disbanded Capitol Siege Section

President Donald Trump’s executive order ending all federal DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs has already resulted in 395 government bureaucrats being placed on leave, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump’s new department headed by Elon Musk, said on Friday that an estimated $420 million in current and impending contracts, mostly focused on DEI, have been canceled. Prior to being inaugurated, Trump vowed to end former President Joe Biden’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates,” and “return our country to the merit system.” On his first day as president, he issued an executive order

Roosevelt Elementary School Principal Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan and another teacher, Karly Anderson, who works at the same school, were both charged days after the wild bash on Jan. 19 was reported to Cocoa Beach police. At least some of the young partiers were drinking alcohol they got from coolers inside the home, and one youngster even suffered a medical emergency tied to the drinking, WJXT reported.

President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have reached historic highs at the onset of his second term, a phenomenon that has left some far-left personalities, including CNN’s Kate Bolduan, visibly struggling to come to terms with the reality of Trump’s enduring popularity. As Trump defies expectations and historical trends, Bolduan’s skepticism seems to embody what many conservatives see as a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). During a recent segment on CNN, data analyst Harry Enten presented a surprising statistical revelation that President Trump is the first president to have a higher net approval rating in the first month of his second term than at any point during his entire first term.

Donald Trump spoke virtually to Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on January 24, only four days after he was sworn in as the 47th president of the U.S. A panel of 'experts' gathered to hear his speech, then discuss what Trump had said. The panel concluded that the world should be aware that what he says represents a significant change in the global millennial economic order. Trump said, "I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal -- I call it the Green New Scam; withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord; and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate."

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t approve of President Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who “beat up cops” who were defending the Capitol. “No,” Graham said, when asked whether he’s okay with the most violent offenders on Jan. 6 getting pardoned, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I’ve always said that I think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public at large, and that’s not what you want to do to protect cops,” Graham continued. “But he has that power.”

If passed, the proposed measure — “Calexit,” a nod to the Brexit vote in the UK — would be on the ballot in 2028 and ask voters: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” For the measure to pass, at least 50% of registered voters must participate in the election, and at least 55% — or more than 500,000 people, must vote “yes” by July 22.

We want them out of the country. We hope they do get deported. And if that’s who they’re picking up, we’re all for it.

President Donald Trump (won't get tired of typing that for a long time) has done so much, so fast, that it's hard to believe. He's 78 years old but seems to have the energy of a much younger man. He has signed a huge host of executive orders, many of them revoking the previous administration's policies. He has engaged the press in free-wheeling, unscripted conversations. (Snip) The man is a flippin' prodigy. So much so, in fact, that we sometimes forget that there was another guy who served four years as president, and in between the two non-consecutive Trump terms, at that. What was his name again?

Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.

With a united Republican government, we have an opportunity to address this upcoming crisis by building on the economic success of President Trump’s first term and making it easier for Americans to start or expand their families.
