But here’s the thing. There is nothing in the law that requires a background check of any sort on appointees. The “tradition” in the Senate for conformation is just that, a tradition. Those who claim that they want background checks for the sake of national security are hoping Americans don’t realize that anyone who will receive classified documents must go through a non-FBI background check AFTER THEY ARE HIRED. It is conducted by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Administration.

These Democrat and RINO Senators aren’t concerned about national security. They’re concerned about their own interests and their own power.

More Senate Republicans other than the gang of 4, McConnell, Collins, Murkowski, and Thune are now openly speaking out against confirmation of Trump nominees without a lengthy process and FBI background checks.

Maybe it's the RINO's who need investigated. Traitors!

Under no circumstances should President Trump let any of his top appointees be dragged through the mud in the form of a scandal-seeking background check by the FBI.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has tapped Greene to head up the new committee, which was conceptualized by tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and former businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. The two businessman were tasked with heading up the “Department Of Government Efficiency,” or “DOGE,” by President-elect Trump a little over a week after his re-election bid.

Greene’s committee will work with the two on carrying out the department’s tasks, which, according to Ramaswamy, will consist of massive cuts to several departments and the outright elimination of several federal agencies.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Greene provided an early look at some of the committee’s first priorities, which includes the reduction or outright cancellation of funding for National Public Radio (NPR).

“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” she told host Maria Bartiromo. […]

Phillip issued her diagnosis of the Democratic Party’s issues when speaking at the Institute of Politics for the Harvard Kennedy School of Business last week.

“Democrats are in that place now where they have to break out of it, and I think it is a real problem. It’s not as simple as wokeness or whatever. It’s about people who are being incentivized to think about issues in a particular way,” Phillip said.

The CNN anchor said that Democrats could fall victim to “groupthink” if they become too circular in their lines of communication.

“I have observed that elites increasingly talk only to each other and come to believe that because there is consensus among them, that that consensus is shared broadly, and there are not enough voices that are confident enough to disagree and to present alternatives,” she said. “And we as a society need to find better ways to uplift divergent voices. Otherwise, we will be victims of groupthink.”

Phillip chalked the party’s problem up to “elitism in general.”

“There needs to be more courage among people to speak out and to voice diverging opinion. Otherwise, you know, I think it’s a real issue, and it’s not just the Ivy League. I think it’s elitism in general,” she said. […]

Col. Douglas MacGregor appeared on Redacted with Clayton Morris this week – watch below – to discuss the recent decision by President Biden to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-made, long-range missiles deep within Russian territory, which President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned crosses one of his “red lines.”

Russia is now saying that it has the right to use nuclear weapons against the United States and any other Western power backing Ukraine in this move. And Col. MacGregor wants the world to know that Ukraine will be completely destroyed, meaning nothing will be left, if Biden does not stop or is not stopped.

(Related: Back when the Russia-Ukraine war first erupted in early 2022, Col. MacGregor warned that it was actually the United States waging a proxy war against Russia via Ukraine.)

Hours after Trump promised peace, Biden unleashed more war

The timing of Biden’s decision to green-light Kiev’s death wish was not an accident, coming mere hours after Trump told Americans that he will be a president of peace, not war.

NATO and the West are so upset that Trump wants the wars to stop that they have kicked their war machine into high gear. They know that what Biden just did spells disaster for Ukraine and beyond, but they did it anyway to destabilize as much as they can before Biden is removed and replaced with Trump.

The last time something like this happened, according to MacGregor, was back in 1968 when Richard Nixon ran for office against Lyndon Johnson. Unlike what Biden is now doing to Trump, Johnson was honest and forthcoming with Nixon that he had no idea how to proceed, showing humility in the process.

Compare this to Biden, who is clearly just a puppet on a string doing the bidding of the puppet masters who installed him in the first place. Those puppet masters just about all happen to be warmongers, though many of the people Trump is bringing on board in his cabinet have shown pro-war tendencies as well.

“The last time a president left office with an unmitigated disaster in the Oval Office behind him was Buchanan and of course he bequeathed the Civil War to Abraham Lincoln,” MacGregor said in the interview.

“You’ve got to go back that far, but Buchanan was not mendacious. This is malevolence. This is a deliberate attempt to subvert the election.”

While MacGregor is not going so far as to call what Biden is doing treason, he does admit that “it’s pretty d*** close.”

The CEO of Polymarket, which accurately predicted Trump’s reelection this year, had his home raided as punishment. Polymarket also expects that a nuclear weapon will be used in 2024 as well.

“People are betting that, yes, we’re going to see the use of a nuclear weapon in 2024,” MacGregor continued. “It’s risen overnight thanks to this latest long-range attack. I mean, what are they playing at? I mean, it’s like it’s fun for these people, a game.”

None of this seems to be a game to Putin, though, who is running out of chances to warn the West not to proceed with its agenda because at some point enough red lines will be crossed that a response will come – and it may not be the response that the West is expecting.

“This needs to be investigated with people going to jail forever,” one commenter wrote about these latest developments. “Imagine risking nuclear war in the last weeks of your office. Insanity.”

Patel and former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan are the frontrunners to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray, who Trump appointed in 2017 after firing then-FBI Director James Comey. McCabe expressed nervousness about Trump potentially choosing Patel, a former Trump administration official, as Wray’s replacement, saying Patel would be more dangerous as the agency’s number two person.

“No part of the FBI’s mission is safe with Kash Patel in any position of leadership in the FBI and certainly not in the deputy director’s job. So just as a… as an example, the deputy director job in the FBI is unique because, of course, the director is a political appointee and the and the deputy director is typically a senior FBI agent, somebody who spent their entire career learning about the FBI, understanding its people and doing its work. So the deputy director actually runs the FBI on a day to day basis,” McCabe told CNN host Kaitlan Collins. “You’re essentially the chief operating officer.””

“I can tell you from my own experience, there is no way I could have successfully performed in that role without having spent the first ten years of my career doing criminal work in the FBI and the next 10 years doing national security work. The scope of authority is enormous. I think I had about 78 or 80 direct reports when I served as FBI director, deputy director, 56 of those people ran entire field offices,” McCabe continued. “So you are enmeshed in every aspect of the FBI’s work if you enter into that position with nothing more than a desire to disrupt and destroy the organization, um, there is a lot of damage someone like Kash Patel could do in a position like deputy director at the FBI you mentioned that director is a political job puts it in there.”

McCabe was fired as deputy director of the FBI in 2018 following an inspector general’s report that accused him of lying about leaks to the media, but the firing was reversed in 2021 following a legal settlement after President Joe Biden took office.

Patel served as a public defender before working with then- Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California on the staff of the House Intelligence Committee. Patel also served in multiple national security positions, including chief of staff for acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller.

Former President Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early Nov. 6, while Republicans picked up four seats in the Senate and are projected to hold the House of Representatives. Clinton said Democrats were “not even being heard” in rural areas, saying he “tried to help.”

“Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything. You know? And I think that’s a problem and we’ll pay for it unless we get over it,” Clinton told Capehart. “But that’s a problem for the Democrats too. We have to learn to talk to people in ways that they can relate to that explains that.”

“That’s why, you know, when I helped — I did my best to help this time. I don’t want to go to any big rallies and big television things, I just want to get in the country,” Clinton continued. “Let’s go out and talk to people. Because I think that we’re behind in the sense that a lot of the small town and rural people are now highly sophisticated on how they get their information. And there are zillions of new websites now, all trying to advance their sort of conservative to right-wing radical cause, and a lot of times we’re not playing on the same field, and we’re not even being heard. So I just said, send me out there and I’ll see if I can’t do some good. I have no idea if I did, but I tried.”

Harris and her running mate, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, largely avoided interviews and press conferences since President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection July 21 before they started doing a media blitz in October. One liberal pundit said the strategy may have been a factor in a poor performance by Walz during the vice-presidential debate.

Harris did not attend the Al Smith Dinner in person, instead doing a video with former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Molly Shannon that was played at the charity event. She also did not do an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, due to fears of a backlash among her campaign staff, which apparently cost her votes.

Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance both appeared on Rogan’s podcast for lengthy interviews, after which Rogan endorsed Trump.

Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard found Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, guilty on all ten counts of killing Riley outside of the University of Georgia’s campus on Feb. 22 and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. As the family pleaded for Ibarra to serve a life sentence without parole, Phillips read words Riley wrote in her entry on Jan. 17, 2023, where she promised to be a loving, God-fearing future wife and mother to her future family.

“I think one of her last journal entries dated 12/17/23 says it best, so here we go: ‘To my future husband, as silly as I feel writing this, my old small group leader once recommended it, so here I am,” Phillips read. “‘To my future husband, I want you to know that I’m thinking about you and working everyday to become the best wife I can be by working through my current relationships to best prepare me for ours and our kids one day. I’m focusing on God and what he defines as a faithful, Christian life and so that I can best embody those characteristics. I pray that you know that it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know that this relationship has been handcrafted by Him. I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord, prioritizing him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our family, our future family to be God-fearing Christians as well.’”

“‘I pray God is the singer of our relationship as it is a gift from Him, I thank Him for you before I even know you. I can’t wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives,’” her stepfather read. “‘I pray you know and feel the importance of our love and hopes for our relationship. No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and for one another overrules the obstacle. May our relationship last forever, Your future wife, Laken.’ That your Honor was our beautiful Laken. That your Honor is just a glimpse of what was tragically and brutally taken from her and us that day.”

The convicted murderer, who unlawfully entered in September 2022, abducted Riley while she was on a jog and murdered her by causing blunt force trauma to the head with an inanimate object. The judge found Ibarra guilty of malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a 9-1-1 call, tampering with evidence and being a peeping tom.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Ibarra had entered the U.S. illegally through an entryway near El Paso, Texas, and was released into the country on parole due to the lack of detention space at the time. He was later arrested for allegedly acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 years old in New York City, according to ICE.

His former roommate, Rosbeli Elisber Flores-Bello, testified during a Monday hearing that she and Ibarra traveled from New York City to Athens, Georgia, after requesting a “humanitarian flight” in September 2023, four months before Riley’s murder.

Jong-Fast wrote in a Vanity Fair column Monday that expressing outrage over Trump’s remarks about women and “wokeness” only satisfies his supporters and is less dangerous than what he may do during his administration. The “Morning Joe” guest argued the media focused too heavily on Trump’s rhetoric throughout his first administration, and stated they should instead focus on Trump’s alleged threat to democracy and American institutions.

“We are in it for 4 years, this is gonna be a marathon, not a sprint. We need to protect norms and institutions and not focus on the aesthetic problem of Trumpism,” Jong-Fast said. “The first time there was a lot of ‘he used vulgar language,’ you know, offended by things and more focus on the norms and institutions. So, the war on woke is vague. You saw reporting that had these people, Trump voters, saying Trump had defeated woke. So that’s vague. But the structural things that Trump might do to try and fight woke could end up undermining democracy. So I feel like, more focused on democracy, democratic values, norms and institutions, the structures that keep America, America, and less focused on the aesthetic problems of Trumpism.”

Jong-Fast wrote in her piece that Trump’s tweets during his first administration distracted from the “actually terrifying things” the then-president did. She argued that his possible “outrageous” remarks that will be made in the upcoming 4 years should not get the same reactions.

“Will I be outraged? Obviously, Trump will do outrageous things. But in entering likely one of the most perilous moments for our democracy, we must focus on the assault on essential norms and institutions, because without them, we are lost,” she wrote.

The media, including “Morning Joe,” spent the entirety of the 2024 election season warning that Trump is a “threat to democracy” and will govern as a dictator, even likening him to former Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Scarborough accused Trump of being the single biggest “threat to democracy since the Civil War” and compared him to Hitler during a Sept. 23 segment, while one of their guests Claire McCaskill claimed he is “more dangerous than Hitler” during a November 2023 segment on the program.

Co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with Trump in Mar-a-Lago on Friday to discuss their concerns regarding policy issues, including abortion and illegal immigration.

One short film has shined the light on the kind of future the left sees for you.

To be fair, I think this film was pretty generous. This is nothing compared to what these people want for us.

Firstly, it starts off with the dude telling his son he’s only allowed a two-minute shower followed by the son’s disappointment in not being able to visit Grandma on Christmas. That part was probably accurate, as flying to visit family would likely be reserved for politicians and elites.

Secondly, the cat food at the office was also pretty generous, as everyone knows you will eat zee bugs. We are also supposed to own nothing and live in pods so it’s unclear why he’s driving to and from his townhome.

Lastly, I think the most accurate part was “lowering your carbon admission” to have a steak dinner, as well as the lights turning off from reaching your energy limit.

The left wants to dictate every aspect of your life, from how much you drive to what you eat. And although the film does a pretty good job of what these people want, it does not do their perceived dystopian future justice. Subsequently, this film only begins to represent how miserable your life would be if these climate tyrants got their way.

Instead of having a large chance of winning nothing, she turned to the student next to her who said he COULD do it. They agreed to let him kick and split the money.

“I knew I couldn’t do it and he was next to me, he said he could, so we’re splitting it,” she told host Pat McAfee.

Henry Silver, the confident young man in the Home Depot hard hat, made the kick and will split the $400,000 prize with Sessions. Another $400,000 will be donated for hurricane relief.

Watch:

LET’S MAKE THIS KICK FOR $800,000

$400,000 TO YOU TWO

$400,000 TO HURRICANE RELIEF

ONLY ONE SHOT AT IT

LET’S GOOOOO HENRY

Years of playing soccer paid off for both of them.

They say if you go woke, you go broke. This shows NOT going woke can yield a hefty payday.
