As we’ve reported extensively here on RedState, one of failed President Joe Biden’s most lasting and damaging legacies is his allowing—some would say welcoming—an untold number of illegal aliens into this country with his disastrous border policy.

One of Donald Trump’s main selling points during his campaign is that he promised to not only stop the flow, but to reverse it.

On Monday, he seemingly confirmed that he will use the military to deport illegals back to to where they came from.

It started when Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton posted to social media earlier this month:

In case you’re unable to see the above post, here’s what Fitton said:

GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.

The President-elect responded on Monday, saying simply:

Incoming Federal Communications Commission chief Brendan Carr (see NEW: Trump Announces Who Will Become Chairman of the FCC) has sent a very explicit letter to CEOs of so-called Big Tech companies, giving them a choice of reducing their reliance on fact-checking sites, such as NewsGuard, which seek to censor content on the internet or facing increased regulation by the FCC. The letter specifically calls into question whether “moderation” decisions based on information provided by third parties could pass muster as “good faith” when that information is, itself, bogus or corrupt.

I am confident that once the ongoing transition is complete, the Administration and Congress will take broad ranging actions to restore the First Amendment rights that the Constitution grants to all Americans — and those actions can include both a review of your companies’ activities as well as efforts by third-party organizations and groups that have acted to curtail those rights.

 For now, I am writing to obtain information from you that can inform the FCC’s work to promote free speech and a diversity of viewpoints. As you know, Big Tech’s prized liability shield, Section 230, is codified in the Communications Act, which the FCC administers. As relevant here, Section 230 only confers benefits on Big Tech companies when they operate, in the words of the statute, “in good faith.”

It is in this context that I am writing to obtain information about your work with one specific organization — the Orwellian named NewsGuard. As exposed by the Twitter Files, NewsGuard is a for-profit company that operates as part of the broader censorship cartel. Indeed, NewsGuard bills itself as the Internet’s arbiter or, as its co-founder put it, a “Vaccine Against Misinfortnation.” NewsGuard purports to rate the credibility of news and information outlets and tells readers and advertisers which outlets they can trust. As the U.S. House Committee on Small Business 2024 Staff Report stated, “[t]hese ratings, combined with NewsGuard’s vast partnerships in the advertising industry, select winners and losers in the news media space.” NewsGuard does so by leveraging its partnerships with advertising agencies to effectively censors targeted outlets.

But NewsGuard’s own record raises questions about whether relying on the organization’s products would constitute “good faith” actions within the meaning of Section 230. For one, reports indicate that NewsGuard has consistently rated official propaganda from the Conununist Party of China as more credible than American publications. For another, NewsGuard aggressively fact checked and penalized websites that reported on the COVID-19 lab leak theory. For still another, the Small Business Committee and multiple Media Research Center studies detail numerous instances where NewsGuard apparently does not apply its own rating system in an even-handed manner. The list goes on.

This is big news.

On Monday morning President Trump retweeted an earlier report by Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch.

On November 8, 2024, three days after the Republican sweep of the presidency, Senate and House of Representatives, Fitton posted:

GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program.

On Monday, President Trump re-Truthed Tom Fitton’s tweet, adding, “TRUE!!!”

An Arkansas man has been arrested in connection with a dead and abused dog after allegedly making a disturbing confession.

The incident was first reported to authorities on Aug. 20 after a nine-year-old boy in Izard County went to feed his dog and found it dead.

A call was then made to authorities, alerting them to animal cruelty.

Deputies from the Izard County Sheriff’s Department responded to the call from the boy’s father, who alerted authorities to disturbing details.

According to Ozark Radio News, the boy’s father identified his then-farmhand as an animal abuser as authorities were investigating the case.

Vivek Ramaswamy said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the soon-to-be-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will “delete” some government agencies.

Ramaswamy said, “Over the last 40 years, even conservatives, we’ve talked a big game for 40 years about cutting the federal government, about reducing the scope of the federal government. Politicians haven’t been able to do it. And so Elon and I, we’re not politicians. We’re businessmen. We’re coming at it from the outside. Sometimes, if you go inside, you become native to the system.”

He added, “I applaud President Trump for setting this up for success. But I come back to the principle. in the early months, score quick wins through executive the action, show what can be done, and then I think we’ll lay the groundwork for Congress to have to take meaningful steps for the future. A lot of these discussions are theoretical to do cut different entitlement programs or whatever. Let’s start with the fact that there is massive waste, fraud and abuse right now. Federal contractors are really exploiting the federal government. You could take haircuts across the board, and they would be no worse off for if it.”

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has privately committed to back an effort led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to block biological men from using women’s restrooms in the U.S. Capitol.

Mace announced Monday she would introduce a resolution to ban transgender women (biological men) from using biological women’s restrooms at the U.S. Capitol.

Johnson, during Tuesday morning’s weekly House Republican Conference meeting, said transgender women won’t be allowed to use women’s restrooms in the Capitol, Politico reported.

“He said there’s not going to be any biological men using our restrooms,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Politico.

Mace confirmed Greene’s account, telling Axios that Johnson “said to me last night that he would include it in House Rules.”

All those opining that Josh Shapiro would’ve made a better vice presidential pick than Tim Walz might want to pipe down right about now. The fact is that Shapiro, the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania, is currently helping his party attempt to steal a Senate seat.

As we unfold what’s going on here, keep in mind the fact that Shapiro is being lauded as a potential presidential candidate in 2028. It bears repeating: one of the Democrat Party’s apparent best and brightest is currently overseeing the attempted stealing of an election won fairly by Republican Dave McCormick in order to hand-deliver a Senate seat to his party.

Maybe this was the plan all along? Keep Shapiro safely ensconced in Pennsylvania in case he needed to oversee the stealing of an election. It’s likely that the thought was that Shapiro could deliver Pennsylvania, whether legally or illegally, to Kamala Harris and help her get the electoral votes needed to take the White House. Absent that opportunity, Shapiro is now able to shrink the Republican majority in the Senate by helping Bob Casey illegally keep his seat.

Governor Shapiro has yet to make any public statements about the efforts to steal the seat from McCormick; a quick check of the news and his Twitter account shows he is strangely silent about his job to oversee fair elections in the Commonwealth. Like a true coward who doesn’t want to jeopardize his standing within his party, he is trying to fly below the radar and not draw attention to the fact that he’s failing to stop the steal. Silence is compliance, right?

Our friend Guy Benson did a great job laying out the current state of the recount over at our sister site, Townhall:

Pennsylvania Democrats are still trying to steal a Senate race from Republican Dave McCormick, who has won the seat. Ousted incumbent Sen. Bob Casey won’t admit that he’s actually been ousted, however, and as we’ve covered for days now, he’s enlisted the help of lawyer Marc Elias to drag out the process. The state is preparing for a recount — to which Casey is entitled under the law — which will push the final conclusion until the brink of Thanksgiving. “As outlined in Act 97, the 67 county boards of elections must begin their recounts by Wednesday, Nov. 20, and complete them by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 26. The boards must send Mr. Schmidt the results of their recounts no later than noon on Wednesday, Nov. 27,” the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer (R-KY), revealed that a new whistleblower has come forward alleging another incident of discrimination at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The allegations point to a FEMA contractor who suggested disaster victims with signs supporting Donald Trump outside their homes were viewed by officials as “domestic terrorists.”

The allegations are nothing short of startling, and if true, they would blow a massive hole in the testimony provided by agency Administrator Deanne Criswell.

Criswell, testifying before the committee, insisted an incident in Lake Placid, Florida, in which a supervisor directed employees to avoid any damaged homes with Trump signs outside when they were canvassing the area after Hurricane Milton, was isolated.

Marn’i Washington was fired over that incident but quickly went public with allegations that her actions were a more widespread directive.

Comer’s bombshell post on X seems to suggest Ms. Washington was not, in fact, a lone official engaging in such practices. The new accusation is centered around an elderly disabled veteran’s family in Georgia.

“My staff just made contact with a new whistleblower who provided a credible account that a FEMA contractor visited the home of an elderly disabled veteran’s family around October 10,” Comer stated. “While there, he recommended that the family remove Trump campaign materials and signs from their house and yard, stating that his FEMA supervisors view Trump supporters as domestic terrorists.”

“The elderly homeowners were so frightened by this and afraid that they would not recover their loss that they removed the signs. Nevertheless, FEMA has not returned to their residence. This took place not in Florida, but Georgia.”

Partisan Democrat smear campaigns must step aside to allow Trump’s designated defense secretary to restore the strength and greatness of America’s military.

The U.S. military has faced declining standards and an overemphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion under the Biden-Harris administration. A 2022 “Woke Warfighters” report, compiled by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), highlighted some of the most egregious examples of how woke ideology has infiltrated and co-opted the military.

The Biden administration’s 2022 National Security Strategy listed “promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a top priority for the U.S. military, placing it above other traditional objectives. Recruitment videos now focus on diversity over service. One particularly controversial animated ad featured a young woman raised by lesbian parents who joins the Army — a sharp departure from the “Be All You Can Be” messaging of the past.

Baltimore City Public Schools reached a settlement over claims the system violated provisions of law, regulations and policy regarding student promotion, attendance, enrollment and grading.

After extensive discovery and a series of court orders limiting the evidence that plaintiff Jovani Patterson could introduce at trial and denying the school system’s motion for a summary judgment, the parties entered into the settlement.

“The settlement recognizes City Schools’ commitment to continuous improvement and its substantial progress in the areas of promotion, attendance, enrollment, and grading,” the district said in a statement. “Mr. Patterson does not contend that City Schools’ policies in these areas are deficient or that City Schools has failed to comply with its truancy policies and procedures.”

Patterson, a former City Council candidate and parent of a former Baltimore public school student, sued the district in January 2022, claiming it defrauded taxpayers by failing to educate its students, inaccurately reporting enrollment and not enforcing truancy rules.

I don’t have much of an “I saw massive waste in business” perspective. The only businesses I was in were creative freelancing and as a practicing attorney. I’ve written about how law firms fleece business clients by overbilling clients. “Creative billing” was the norm, not the exception. That is one of the reasons I spent most of my career practicing on my own. That is a business expense the bigger companies simply accept. Waste in business doesn’t have to be a fact of doing business.

In the movie “Office Space,” one of the funnier scenes is when one of the employees admits that he doesn’t do much of anything but waste time and is lauded by the guys who are there to cut the ranks of useless employees. In that same movie, an employee who had been fired years before but was still collecting a paycheck literally burned the company to the ground when his red stapler was taken from him.

I have a relative who works at Amazon. She told us of a bit of revolt at Amazon over the company telling employees to return to the office. Employees were quite content with “working” in the PJs from home. “You want us to work from…work?”

I don’t think anyone, either in the private sector or working for the government would deny that the most waste can be found in government. When the United States was formed, the founders never envisioned the massive bureaucratic state that emanates from Washington, D.C.

We also know that once something is “created” by the federal government, it is nearly impossible to get rid of it. Plenty of elected politicians have vowed to rid us of the massive government waste, but few have been about to make a scratch, let alone a dent.

Now that Trump is returning to D.C. and he has two men who have a lot of private sector experience willing to take a battle axe to the bureaucratic waste, we might see some dents – maybe even some departments going the way of the dodo.

Chinese scientists are leveraging americium, which has usually been written off as nuclear waste, as part of a reaction breakthrough that could work in space, at sea, and elsewhere, according to a story on the innovation from New Scientist.  

The linchpin to the innovation developed by researchers at Soochow University and colleagues is that electricity is generated from americium’s decay instead of typical chemical reactions. The new nuclear battery is astoundingly 8,000 times more efficient than previous iterations of the tech, bringing it closer to fruition than ever before, according to the New Scientist report.

The result could be unlikely settings for nuclear reaction power.

“Ideally, we envision our micronuclear battery being used to power miniature sensors in remote or challenging environments where traditional power sources are impractical, like deep-sea exploration, space missions, or remote monitoring stations,” Soochow researcher Shuao Wang said in the story. 

New Scientist described what must have been an impressive scene in the lab when the research team unlocked americium’s potential. 

The element radiates energy-abundant alpha particles, which quickly dissipate.

The earliest inscription declaring Jesus as God – deemed ‘the greatest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls’ – was uncovered beneath the floor of an Israeli prison and is now on display in America.

The 1,800-year-old mosaic, discovered by an inmate of the Megiddo prison, features the ancient Greek writing: ‘The god-loving Akeptous has offered the table to God Jesus Christ as a memorial.’

The 581-square-foot mosaic decorated the world’s first prayer hall in 230 AD, confirming Christians believed Jesus was the son of God from the very beginning.

The Megiddo Mosaic also included some of the earliest images of fish, which experts believe reference the story in Luke 9:16 when Jesus multiplied two fish to feed a crowd of 5,000 people.

The floor has been hidden under the prison since it was discovered in 2005, but has now been lent to a museum in Washington, DC, until July 2025.

Carlos Campo, CEO of the museum, hailed the mosaic as ‘ the greatest discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls,’ while his colleagues noted it was ‘the most important archaeological discovery for understanding the early Christian church.’

‘We truly are among the first people to ever see this, to experience what almost 2,000 years ago was put together by a man named Brutius, the incredible craftsman who laid the flooring here,’ Campo said at the opening of the exhibition.

“People violate laws any time they want.”

Those words, shrugging off an alleged unlawful move last week, did not come from some Chicago gangbanger or Washington car thief. Those words of wisdom came from Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

They came in response to the fact that the Democratic majority on the election commission had decided to ignore a binding state Supreme Court ruling in an attempt to engineer the election of Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.).

Rather than prompting a degree of introspection, the loss of both houses of Congress and the White House has had a curious effect on many Democrats, dropping any pretense of protecting democracy over partisanship.

Despite polls showing that the public trusted former president Donald Trump more than Vice President Harris in combating threats to democracy, Democrats made “saving democracy” the thrust of this election.

The polls reflected a certain common sense of the public when harangued with predictions from President Biden, Harris and a host of politicians and pundits warned that this would likely be our last election. Few believed that after over two centuries as the most stable and successful democracy in history, all three branches would collapse in unison and embrace dictatorship. Even fewer believed the predictions of the rounding up of homosexuals, journalists and political critics for camps in what some described as an American Third Reich.

American voters are not chumps and what they saw were strikingly anti-democratic positions from those claiming to be the defenders of democracy, including:

  • Seeking to strip Trump from ballots under an unfounded theory rejected unanimously by the Supreme Court.
  • Fighting to block opponents of Biden from ballots in the primary and general elections.
  • Suing to keep Robert F. Kennedy on ballots after his withdrawal in swing states, in order to confuse voters and reduce the vote for Trump.
  • Calling for blocking dozens of incumbent GOP officials and legislators from ballots as “insurrectionists.”
  • “Protecting democracy” through the most extensive censorship in history and the blacklisting of opponents.
  • Engaging in open and raw lawfare in the prosecutions of Trump in places like New York.

Each of these efforts ultimately failed to stop Trump and was opposed by a majority of voters even before the election. So now, Democrats are dropping the pretense for open partisanship.

That was evident in Bucks County, when a motion arose to reject a challenge to count provisional ballots, including undated or invalidly dated mail ballots.

It should have been easy.

It was just a few weeks ago when Donald Trump held his closing rally at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. It was a raucous affair with appearances from Tucker Carlson, RFK Jr., JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, Melania Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and many more.

Well, the people finally got their say in the matter on November 5, and they gave Trump massive wins in both the popular vote and the Electoral College, rejecting Kamala Harris and the dark vision of the Democrats. It’s unbelievable how much the world has changed since then—and some of the names mentioned above are now Cabinet picks.

On Saturday night, the president-elect (I can’t wait till January when I can drop the “elect” part) showed up once again to MSG, this time to watch some UFC action with his buddy UFC President Dana White.

The crowd was deafening:

You could barely hear the announcers over the cheering. “The sound!” one of them exclaimed. “It is SO loud in here! It is so loud!” said another (think, it’s hard to tell).

PITTSBURGH and BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Democratic county officials admit they are breaking the law to overturn Pennsylvania’s Senate election for losing Sen. Bob Casey.

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” said Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, who voted Thursday to count deficient provisional ballots a Pennsylvania Supreme Court order barred, in which voters did not sign in one of two necessary boxes.

“People violate laws any time they want,” Ellis-Marseglia said. “So for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”

Dave McCormick's team is confident he will hold a 30,000-vote lead in a recount and be sworn in as Pennsylvania's next senator in January.

As Democrat Casey refuses to concede and hopes a recount will overturn the race called more than a week ago for Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, Republicans allege Dems are also violating the Pennsylvania Supreme Court order not to count undated ballots and those from voters unregistered on Election Day — though they remain confident the businessman and combat vet will keep his victory after the legal shenanigans.

Attorney Peter Ticktin

In a bold and strategic move, Florida attorney Peter Ticktin, a close ally of President Donald J. Trump, has unveiled a powerful forensic voter roll audit designed to uncover voter fraud and empower Republican candidates to challenge the results of contested elections.

Ticktin, a longtime Trump supporter and lead local counsel in the pivotal case Trump v. Clinton, et al., is spearheading this initiative to assist GOP candidates who suspect irregularities in their recent election outcomes.

Fighting Back Against Fraud

Ticktin and his legal team have developed sophisticated tools, combined with top-tier AI-powered skip tracing technology, to analyze voter rolls in counties across the nation. These advanced methods are specifically designed to identify ineligible voters, duplicate registrations, and other irregularities that have plagued the election system.

The findings from these audits will arm GOP candidates with inescapable evidence to challenge fraudulent results and secure their rightful victories.

Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Kamala Harris was historically consequential: it was the first time a Republican presidential candidate carried both the electoral college and popular vote in twenty years.

More than that, however, was the lasting, even generational, impact it will have on our politics for decades to come.

If Donald Trump, who had been target number one of weaponized lawfare like nothing seen in our history, had not won this race, America as we know it would have been destroyed for good.

Now there is at least a chance for restoration — if not a new golden age.

Haitian migrants are reportedly fleeing Springfield, Ohio, “in droves” over deportation fears following President-elect Donald Trump’s election win.

Trump had singled out the town, which is overrun with migrants, by saying that they were eating people’s pets during a presidential debate in September.

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” said Trump. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”

The soundbite was remixed into a song that went massively viral on TikTok.

Speaking to The Guardian, Margery Koveleski, whose family is Haitian, said that people are self-deporting.

The hammer of justice is coming.

Officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are hiring themselves criminal defense attorneys in anticipation of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

According to a report from NBC News, senior members of both government agencies are panicking about the prospect of Trump and his prospective attorney general, former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.

The report states:

“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”

In the past 2 years Marylands Governor Wes Moore and his Administration has increased Taxes and Fees to the tune of over $400 Million Dollars on Marylands Small Businesses and Working Families, after evaporating a surplus he inherited…
Then a week ago after the 2024 November election, a bombshell financial report was released that Maryland is is the worst financial shape its been in 20 years, faceing a over $2 Billion Dollar deficit, with calls for the legislative session next year to yet again increase taxes on Marylanders.
Well late Sunday one of Marylands Largest Corporations  based in the States Largest Populated County, Marriott in Montgomery County announced it plans to lay off over 800 people.
So  this is the impact Tax and Fee Increases have on working people, Small Businesses, and even Large Businesses.
People need to make their voices heard this January to Marylands elected leaders! Maryland is going on a bad direction that is hurting everyone in the State, and the course needs to be changed!

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” “Alex Marlow Show” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said that HHS nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will actually follow the scientific method by testing hypotheses and providing transparency about information.

Marlow said, “The public health establishment completely betrayed this country during the coronavirus, and there’s got to be hell to pay for this. They lied about the masks and they lied about the masks again and they lied about the masks a third time, a different way. They oversold the vaccines, which, in my opinion, weren’t actually terrible, but they were sold as this miracle cure. We treated NBA all-stars the same way we treated 80-year-olds with hypertension and obesity. It was completely absurd, clearly, to anyone who pays attention, much less scientists, and yet, everyone stood idly by. This is what the result is going to be: You get a disrupter like Robert Kennedy, who I’m fully confident is going to apply the scientific method. He’s going to actually test hypotheses and try to give the American people some clarity about what’s going on. This is a crisis created by the public health establishment, not rank-and-file doctors. My wife served on the front lines as a doctor during the coronavirus. They’re cool. It’s these people who are in our bureaucracy that fed us these lies, and he’s going to clear them all out.”

While he preemptively took himself out of consideration as Attorney General in President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is a staunch supporter of Trump and enthusiastic about the incoming administration.

Schmitt joined Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” and spoke with host Maria Bartiromo about what he views as a “once in a lifetime opportunity” presenting itself in the wake of Trump’s resounding win and triumphant return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Trump is adding people to his new team at lightning speed. Most people on the right are overjoyed with the choices that they are seeing, but Democrats and liberal media types are dumbfounded. They just don’t get it.

Enter Victor Davis Hanson.

Hanson is a conservative, a historian, and a scholar. He recently took some time to write an analysis of Trump’s cabinet picks to help explain the thinking here. His explanation is absolutely brilliant, as usual.

Hanson writes on Twitter/X:

Trump, His Disrupters, and a Chance to Return to Normalcy?

Many of Trump first-round picks share some common themes.

As RedState reported on November 12, President-elect Donald Trump announced that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will lead his newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Trump said at the time:

These two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ movement.

If there’s a better example of the urgent need for the Department of Government Efficiency — headed by Musk and Ramaswamy, no less — than the one that follows the below link, I’m unaware of what it is.

It was reported on Friday that the Pentagon, the nation’s largest government agency, failed its seventh audit in a row, still unable to fully account for its more than $824 billion budget. Worry not, suggested Pentagon officials, who stressed that they’re making “good progress” toward a clean audit in 2028.

Two thousand twenty-eight? Something tells me that in the minds of Elon and Vivek, more than four years isn’t good enough.

According to reports, the Department of Defense — led by often-under-fire Secretary Lloyd Austin –technically earned a disclaimer of opinion, meaning it failed to provide sufficient information to auditors to form an accurate opinion.

First question: Why? I’ll venture a guess that the answer is because sufficient information was nowhere to be found, which raises the second question: Why not?

Elon Musk is praising his new revolutionary role in the incoming Trump Administration. It will eliminate trillions of dollars in “waste and fraud” within the federal government.

But what exactly could we expect from the new Department of Government Efficiency? For starters, the U.S. government is $35 million in debt. Musk plans to drastically reduce that by cutting wasteful spending on useless programs such as transgender initiatives and woke DEI programs that do nothing but promote racism and divide among Americans.

For the department’s first order of business, Musk would eliminate spending American tax dollars on funding LGBTQ programs in foreign countries. 

Currently, under the Biden-Harris Administration, the State Department and The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have spent millions funding transgender activism such as trans surgeries and “gender-affirming care.” For example, the Biden-Harris Administration gave U.S. dollars for the production of a play, North Macedonia, which portrayed God as someone who is bisexual and has sexual interactions with hermaphroditic angels. 

Musk’s department would also do away with DEI initiatives at the Veteran’s Affairs (VA). 

The Biden-Harris Administration has ignored hundreds of thousands of claims and instead focused on establishing at least 500 DEI initiatives within the VA and funding LGBTQ programs. The department spends millions of dollars each year to fund woke programs such as diversity training instead of prioritizing veterans.

While President Trump is poised to return to the White House following his landslide election victory over Kamala Harris, he has not forgotten the multiple lies from corporate media outlets seeking to ruin his political career and life.

Columbia Journalism Review reported on Thursday that just days before the presidential election, Trump’s lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, sent a letter to the far-left New York Times and Penguin Random House demanding $10 billion in damages awarded to Trump for “false and defamatory statements.” The letter points to specific statements about Trump in articles by Peter Baker, Michael S. Schmidt, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner.

The letter highlights two stories by Buettner and Craig are connected to their new book, “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success.” The CJR reports the letter also mentions an October 20 article by Baker titled “For Trump, a Lifetime of Scandals Heads Toward a Moment of Judgment,” and an October 22 article by Schmidt with the title “As Election Nears, Kelly Warns Trump Would Rule Like a Dictator.”

The letter accused the outlet of having “every intention of defaming and disparaging the world-renowned Trump brand that consumers have long associated with excellence, luxury, and success in entertainment, hospitality, and real estate, among many other industries, as well as falsely and maliciously defaming and disparaging him as a candidate for the highest office in the United States.”

Vivek Ramaswamy appears on Sunday Morning Futures to discuss DOGE’s plans to shrink the federal government. (Credit: Fox Business)

If the incoming Trump administration has its way, thousands of deep-state bureaucrats who have lived off the U.S. taxpayer will have to find employment in the private sector. The cuts are poised to be so deep that entire agencies will be abolished.

The Gateway Pundit reported last Tuesday that President Trump announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk promised that the news “will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people.”

Ramaswamy appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss DOGE’s plans for slashing wasteful spending and shrinking government. Bartiromo opened by asking whether they expected to close down entire agencies, such as the Department of Education.

Ramaswamy confirmed that the Trump Administration would eliminate government agencies and make massive reductions elsewhere, including by reducing the number of federal contractors overbilling the federal government.

Earlier this week, New York’s Attorney General Letitia James vowed to keep using the ‘rule of law’ to target President Trump, even after his massive electoral win. In response, Article III Project Founder Mike Davis issued a strong warning to her:

“I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term. Listen here, sweetheart,” Davis addressed James. “We’re not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that.” He added, “James should think long and hard before violating any more of Trump’s constitutional rights or any other Americans’ constitutional rights. It’s not going to happen again.”

Davis’s comments set off a media frenzy, with left-leaning outlets calling him a potential Trump Attorney General candidate despite his statement that he does not seek any official role. However, his stance on confronting Letitia James and other political prosecutors is spot on.

Timothy Scouton mugshot (Credit: Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office)

A Minnesota head election judge has been arrested and charged with two felony counts for allegedly permitting 11 unregistered voters to cast ballots during the 2024 election.

Timothy Michael Scouton, 64, of Nevis, served as the head election judge in Badoura Township, a rural precinct east of Park Rapids.

According to a criminal complaint filed on Friday, Scouton bypassed legal protocols, instructing election workers to disregard voter registration requirements.

The investigation was initiated after Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave discovered discrepancies in the election materials returned by Scouton.

They’re literally reinventing the wheel.

Scientists might be closer to learning who invented the wheel after discovering stone spindle stabilizers in Israel that date back 12,000 years.

That makes these rolling stones 6,000 years older than the presently known oldest wheels, per a study published recently in the journal “Plos One.”

“These perforated stones are actually the first wheels in form and function,” declared study author and professor Leore Grosman, who compiled the paper along with other experts from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, South West News Service reported.

The perforated pebbles.

“The most important aspect of the study is how modern technology allows us to delve deep into touching the fingerprints of the prehistoric craftsman, then learn something new about them and their innovativeness, and at the same time, about our modern technology and how we’re linked,” study authors wrote about the perforated stones (above).

Florida’s sun-soaked southwestern coast, known for its wealthy enclaves and retirement appeal, is grappling with the steepest home price drops in more than a decade.

From Sarasota’s luxury listings to Punta Gorda’s booming developments, property values have fallen at rates not seen since the post-recession days of 2011.

Despite rising home prices across most of the US, certain Southeast metros, especially in Florida, are bucking the trend.

Conservative activist Scott Presler, whose organization Early Vote Action helped swing Pennsylvania to the right in the general election, announced Monday he will be working to do the same in neighboring New Jersey.

“I make a commitment right here & now that we will be registering new Republican voters in New Jersey & commit time in 2025 to the gubernatorial election,” he posted on X.

President-elect Donald Trump only lost the Garden State by just over 5 percentage points last week (51.8 to 46.3 percent), much improved from his 2020 loss of nearly 16 points in 2020.

Election integrity scored a significant win in Pennsylvania in mid-September when the commonwealth’s Supreme Court ruled that misdated mail-in ballots should not be counted.

In the wake of the November 5th election, however, some elections officials in Pennsylvania, apparently not content with the outcome of the election (and in particular, the Senate race which saw Republican Dave McCormick narrowly defeating incumbent Democrat Bob Casey), determined that they needn’t follow the Supreme Court’s edict and would continue counting misdated ballots anyway.

Lest there remain any confusion on the part of said officials as to whether or not such continued counting is legal, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court weighed in again on Monday to make it clear that no, absolutely not, are misdated mail-in or absentee ballots to be counted.

Whether they’re in office or on the campaign trail, Democrat politicians have a penchant for spending lots of money on really stupid things.

After it was discovered that Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign raised one billion dollars, only to find themselves $20 million in debt for their losing effort on Nov. 5, the public — donors among them — were wondering where all the money went.

The reader may remember in 2007, when Democrat candidate John Edwards spent an appalling $1,250 for a haircut from Beverly Hills stylist Joseph Torrenueva, but Harris’s expenses from nail artist Tahvya Krok make that look like chump change.

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that the Harris campaign “disbursed” Krok an astounding $5,000 on Aug. 26 for her work.

A haircut is one thing.

Introducing RINO Watch.

On Wednesday, Senate Republicans will vote for a new Majority Leader after Trump-hater and war-pig Mitch McConnell finally stepped down from leadership.

Senate Republicans will vote behind closed doors, in a secret ballot, to choose their next leader.

The choice is between two Trump-hating, MAGA-hating RINOs who want war and business as usual and businessman and Florida Senator Rick Scott.

John Thune spread lies about January 6th. John Cornyn compared January 6 to 9-11.

Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and MAGA Nation are calling on Republican Senators to vote for Senator Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader.

Rick Scott is the logical choice to lead the Senate Republicans. He just blew out his Democrat opponent in Florida by 12+ points.

But the Senate Republicans have a long history of sh*tting on their voters.

One big area of focus in the various post-mortems of Vice President Kamala Harris’ second failed presidential campaign has been on the piles of money (one billion dollars) she spent trying to win the support of voters in key battleground states.

For instance, there were the stories about the million dollars the Harris campaign spent on the “Unite for America” live-streaming event in Michigan that took place on September 19th which was hosted by TV talk show host/producer Oprah Winfrey. Though Winfrey’s production company, Harpo, has denied that she was paid any personal fees whatsoever from the Harris campaign or Harpo, the questions continue to swirl.

The list just goes on and on. Among other things, there was also the $100,000 paid to create the cringe “Call Her Daddy” podcast set and the reported $20 million Harris paid for the cross-country election-eve concerts, including the one in Pennsylvania that got blasted by the Philly Democrat Party chair the day after the election.

And now, hot on the heels of the Winfrey allegations comes news of what the Harris campaign gave to the racist “Reverend” Al Sharpton, a former Democrat candidate for president himself and longtime host on MSNBC. 

According to a new Free Beacon report, the Harris campaign donated to Sharpton’s organization, the National Action Network (NAN), two times prior to her October 20th interview with him, which was broadcast on MSNBC. What did she donate? $500,000:

Harris’s campaign gave two payments of $250,000 to National Action Network on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1, according to campaign finance records.

On Oct. 3, Sharpton aired a video of Harris wishing him happy birthday on his MSNBC weekend show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton. “Happy birthday, Rev,” Harris said, using Sharpton’s nickname. “You have been over all of your years such an extraordinary leader. You have been a voice of truth, a voice of conscience.”

Sharpton, 70, conducted a glowing interview with Harris on Oct. 20 in which he touted her “extraordinary historic campaign” while referring to Trump as “hostile and erratic.” His questions lined up closely with messages that Harris sought to highlight on the campaign trail.

Readers might recall that back in April, a grand jury in Maricopa County, Arizona, indicted nearly 20 Republicans and associates of Donald Trump, after Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes brought a case against 2020 “fake electors” on felony charges of fraud, forgery, and conspiracy:

A grand jury in Arizona has handed down indictments against 11 Arizona Republicans at the center of the “fake elector” controversy of 2020 – in which Republicans were attempting to nominate and send “alternate” electors to Washington D.C. – electors who supported the theory that the 2020 election was stolen.

The 11 Republicans met at the Arizona GOP headquarters a month after the 2020 election and signed a certificate claiming to be the 11 electors from the state. They posted the letter to social media and sent it to Congress.

My colleague Joe Cunningham added that another party mentioned in the indictment is “unindicted co-conspirator 1,” who is believed to be former president Donald Trump.

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for “border czar,” Tom Homan, is uninterested in Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s whiny bluster.

Pritzker recently puffed his ample chest out to pledge to keep Illinois a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants and hinting that his administration will continue to put illegals ahead of citizens.

Pritzker said, “If you come for my people, you come through me.”

Homan joined Charlie Kirk and clapped back at Pritzker’s disastrous approach and bluster.

Homan replied simply, “Game on. We’ve got no problem going through him.”

“I’ve got 20,000 men and women in ICE who are going to do their job with no apology. Congress has enacted a law that protects this country. People need to understand… entering this country illegally is a crime.”

“Every illegal alien in this country committed a crime to get here. So they’re all criminals.”

Elon Musk on Tuesday renewed calls to defund NPR after a controversial video of its CEO questioning the importance of truth resurfaced online.

Footage of NPR CEO Katherine Maher from an August 2021 Ted Talk reappeared Tuesday on X, sparking new debate over the taxpayer-funded broadcaster’s alleged bias, which has come under scrutiny in recent months.

In the 10-second clip, Maher questioned the role truth plays in the industry as the then-CEO of Wikimedia. She took over as CEO of NPR in March of this year.

“I think our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done,” Maher told the crowd.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who spent the last four years stuck behind a desk processing illegal migrants under the Biden-Harris administration are preparing to get back out into the field — as President-elect Donald Trump and his “border czar” Tom Homan vowed to “flood” sanctuary cities with agents.

The move would mean thousands of desk-bound ICE officers will soon be out making arrests of the millions of illegal immigrants who snuck across the besieged southern border and are now roaming American streets.

The federal agency has a total workforce of about 21,000 employees, which includes non-law enforcement personnel who handle administration work, according to a Department of Homeland Security budget overview.

The Blind Eye

This last week has had all of us analyzing the results of the election. Most of us are doing so with glee and gratitude, but the Left is left scrounging up excuse after excuse, explanation after explanation, trying to avoid the truth. The Left didn’t lose because their “messaging” was ineffective. They didn’t lose because of the Kamala cackle, or her phantom policies, or her linguistic malfeasance. The Left lost because the very base of her stance, of the Left’s philosophy, is evil.

At the core of the progressive worldview is the idea that there is no absolute truth. I’ll grant that there’s no one walking the earth today that has a perfect grasp on what that truth might be, but to deny its existence is to open the door and offer the devil a seat at the table. Of course, there is the obvious problem that the statement, “there is no absolute truth” is self-refuting, but if a person deludes himself enough, he won’t care. Meanwhile, the postmodern position allows a looseness of thought that has nearly done us in as a nation. There is no difference between absolute truth and God, and it was Dostoyevsky who pointed out that “without God all things are permissible.”

What the Left doesn’t understand is that, despite their declarations to the contrary, despite their locking God out of our public discourse, God IS. And His standards haven’t changed, and most of us know that.

America is unique in many ways — our self-governance, our economic system, our generosity, our innovative, pioneering spirit — but most important is the fact that we have always been a moral country. Not perfectly so; we have paid dearly for the breaches of God’s divine moral code (see Exodus 20), but “We hold these truths to be self-evident” has always been America’s backbone — self-evident truth. God.

This election displayed our national revulsion to untruth; we don’t like to be lied to. We were told that the economy is just fine, but the truth was staring us all in the face every time we bought gas or groceries or paid the rent. We can tell that the “education” we’re spending a fortune on has produced students who can’t read or compute and know nothing about the configuration of our government. It’s obvious to any breathing person that our crime rate is soaring, that our nation is being invaded, and yet the left smiled in our faces and told us everything is hunky-dory. No change in “messaging” is going to pretty-up the pig enough to make us vote for it.

One of the Ten Commandments (a perfect blueprint for a successful society) warns us not to “bear false witness” against our fellow man, but the Harris campaign repeatedly, heatedly accused Donald Trump, and all of us who supported him, of being Nazis — largely because he held a rally in a building where real Nazis had never gathered. What?! They indicted him for things that weren’t even crimes until they said they were, and then called him a felon. They warned women that Trump’s policies would kill them. When he was shot, they even accused him of rigging the assassination attempt.  Politics are always ugly, but this level of hyperbolic lying is off the charts. Did the left think we’d all just believe the nonsense? We were gobsmacked that people could so calmly lie to our faces and then expect us to vote for them.

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan (L) joins Donald Trump, Jr. on “Triggered.”/Image: Video screenshot.

Following the election, President Donald Trump announced that former ICE Director Tom Homan would be the nation’s new “Border Czar.”

Homan, a steadfast supporter of strong border policies and seasoned law enforcement leader, will be tasked with overseeing all aspects of U.S. border security, extending beyond the southern and northern land borders to include maritime and aviation domains.

Homan will lead all deportation efforts, enforcing strict policies to remove illegal aliens from the country.

President Trump’s announcement read:

“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders (“The Border Czar”), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security. I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan, who wound up playing an integral role in the presidential election earlier this month, has speculated about who Joe Biden cast his ballot for.

And he can’t stop laughing over it.

Rogan referenced images from the White House meeting between Biden and President-elect Donald Trump, which numerous observers believed showed a relaxed and elated President. Odd, considering his party just got completely shellacked.

“You know what my f**king favorite thing of this whole election cycle has been?” Rogan said, speaking with Evan Hafer, CEO of Black Rifle Coffee.

“Yesterday when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump. I guarantee it. I f**king guarantee it,” he added with wide eyes and a massive grin. “I never saw that dude so happy in his f**king life. He lost. His party lost. He was happy.”

Maryland voters have overwhelmingly elected to enshrine reproductive rights into the state Constitution.

The referendum was approved in 22 out of 23 Maryland counties and Baltimore City. Only voters in Garrett County, the state’s westernmost county, rejected the measure.

Billed as a “Declaration of Rights” on the ballot, the referendum establishes reproductive freedom as a “fundamental right” for Marylanders, including a mother’s right to prevent, continue, or end a pregnancy.

“The state many not, directly or indirectly, deny, burden, or abridge the right unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least-restrictive means,” according to the text of the amendment.

The results mean that the state will now add the text to its Declaration of Rights as Article No. 48. Maryland voters haven’t added to the Declaration of Rights since 1994.

According to the Maryland State Board of Elections, 74.11 percent of people voted for the Constitutional Amendment, and 25.89 percent were against it.

On the Lower Eastern Shore, support for the amendment came from 61 percent of Worcester County voters (23,923 to 14,499) and 62 percent of Wicomico County voters 16,272 to 10,112).

The persecution and prosecution of President Donald Trump is finally winding down.

Jack Smith, a primary player in the lawfare campaign against Trump, has filed to dismiss the case involving classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Rep. Jim Jordan has instructed Special Counsel Smith to preserve all records related to the cases.

The Deep State tried everything to make Trump lose. In total, 91 frivolous felony charges were thrown at the former president. All so they could brand him a felon, tie up resources and prevent him from campaigning.

Then there was the January 6th “insurrection”, multiple Russian collusion hoaxes and countless media lies.

The Deep State even prosecuted his advisers, such as 75-year-old famed economist Peter Navarro, who was the first former White House official ever imprisoned on a contempt-of-court charge. This dignified gentleman was frog-marched into prison as part of a political persecution campaign.

The entire affair was a disgrace to the nation.

On Election Day, Americans rejected this vile lawfare.

And soon, it will be time for justice. With GOP control over both sides of the Congress and a near-landslide win, Trump has a mandate from the American people to pursue it aggressively.

A national lobbying group is asking Worcester County leaders to oppose proposed federal regulations that would allow heavier and longer tractor-trailers on the road.

The nonprofit Coalition Against Bigger Trucks (CABT) is fighting two bills pending in the House of Representatives that would increase weight limits for commercial vehicles on interstate highways from 80,000 to 91,00 pounds.

The proposed federal regulatory changes are coming from national companies that rely on shipping, according to Rob Bielunas, Regional Field Director of CABT. He met with Worcester County staffers earlier this year to make his pitch for their support.

“This issue is really being pushed by your big shippers of the world, your Amazons, your UPSs. Your local mom and pop trucking company tends not to be in favor of these kinds of bills or these kinds of effort,” he said.

State housing officials have agreed to end a longtime grant funding agreement that once helped Pocomoke City pay to build its own riverfront restaurant, but one that has since failed to generate levels of employment the grant had required.

The Worcester County Board of Commissioners agreed unanimously at its Nov. 6 meeting to close out the grant from the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD).

As grant recipients, Worcester County and Pocomoke City did everything they were asked to do, “but sometimes, things don’t work,” according to Cindy Stone, director of the Office of Community Development Programs at DHCD.

The collaboration began 16 years ago when Pocomoke City officials decided to build their own restaurant on spec. The plan was an ambitious experiment in economic development: Pocomoke would construct and own the property, and a restauranteur would operate it.

Under the terms of a grant, the state in 2008 agreed to provide $500,000 for construction and another $98,000 for kitchen equipment. Construction of the restaurant began in 2011. Total grant funding eventually came to $623,000.

In exchange, however, the restaurant needed to benefit low-and moderate-income people through job creation. The agreement set minimum staffing levels: 35 full-time jobs with 18 of them, or 51 percent, going to low-to-moderate income employees.

But that never really happened, according to Stone

“For this project, the goal was to create jobs,” she said. “Unfortunately, in this case, when the first restaurateur went out of business, they closed, and all the jobs were lost. The next restauranter agreed to start over, and they would have to stay in place a certain amount of time. They closed and those jobs were lost.”

Judge Gerald V. Purnell, the Eastern Shore’s first African-American District Court judge, has retired after an 18-year career on the bench. His last day was August 31, according to online records.

Purnell was appointed by former Gov. Robert Ehrlich and began his judgeship in 2006. Of the seven people who applied for the job, he was the only African-American applicant.

He also served since 2013 as the administrative judge for Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. His successor in that role has been named as Judge Melvin J. Jews, out of Dorchester County, according to the state judiciary.

Prior to becoming a judge, Purnell served from 2003 to 2005 as a deputy state’s attorney in Dorchester County. He also was legal counsel to Ocean City’s Board of Zoning Appeals from 2001 to 2002, according to online records.

A 1978 graduate of Bucknell University, Purnell earned his law degree in 1978 from the Antioch School of Law, now part of the University of the District of Columbia.

Moving forward, it could take months for Gov. Wes Moore to name a replacement.

On Friday, turncoat Mike Pence was spouting off to the media.

The former VP and Trump-basher implored President Trump NOT to pardon the J6 prisoners who were set-up by their government and then targeted and dragged through the dirt based on a mountain of lies perpetrated on the American public by the fake news and Democrat Party. Mike Pence is not sharp enough to see this.

It is completely clear at this point that the J6 riots would never have occurred if Nancy Pelosi, the chief insurrectionist, had called in the National Guard to protect the US Capitol that day as President Trump requested.

Pelosi and her cohort, General Mark Milley, have never been held to account for their actions that led to the raid on the US Capitol.

The operator of a houseboat rental has dismissed a lawsuit against the Town of Ocean City.

Last week, Sea Rocket OC Houseboats LLC dismissed a lawsuit that challenged the city over newly adopted ordinances that prohibited the commercial use of houseboats within corporate limits and assigned fines for any such violations. The case was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, meaning the claims asserted in the lawsuit cannot be re-filed at any time by the plaintiff.

“Ocean City has at all times believed firmly in the legal correctness and the strength of the positions it has taken in this matter,” said Bruce Bright, attorney for the Town of Ocean City.

In April, the Ocean City Council directed staff to develop recommendations for banning houseboat rentals after discovering listings for a short-term rental operation at the Dorchester Street marina. While the town views houseboats as floating structures – which are prohibited by town code – representatives for the operator, Sea Rocket OC Houseboats LLC, argue they are vessels consistent with marina use.

Despite objections from Sea Rocket’s manager, Will Wangel, and threats of litigation from the company’s attorney, Demetrios Kaouris, the council in June adopted an ordinance prohibiting the commercial use of houseboats within corporate limits, as well as a companion ordinance assigning fines for any violations.

Days later, Sea Rocket Houseboats LLC filed suit in Worcester County Circuit Court seeking declaratory judgment and injunctive relief.

“There is a clear dispute as to the actions taken by the Town through the enactment of the Ordinances,” the initial complaint read. “It is Sea Rocket’s position that the Ordinances are invalid and not an appropriate exercise of police power. The Town disagrees with that position, and contends the Ordinances are valid and fully enforceable against the Sea Rocket. An actual controversy therefore exists between the contending Parties, that the Sea Rocket does not believe the Town’s actions are lawful.”

Another shocking allegation involving the Secret Service could potentially endanger President Trump’s life further following two assassination attempts.

Counter-extremism researchers with the Justice Report say they have discovered that a lifelong anarchist, left-wing extremist, and devout follower of Anfifa is working as a Secret Service agent. Moreover, the individual reportedly has made a series of disgusting comments regarding Trump.

The Gateway Pundit will NOT be naming the alleged Secret Service agent until we confirm the person’s identity.

The supposed agent has a series of ugly posts under the since-deleted account /u/endon40 on the leftist social media forum Reddit where he calls the American electorate “chodes” and Nazis who voted for a man with “Nazi-a** policies.”

Owners of a local campground say they plan to expand with dozens more campsites after Worcester County authorities cleared the way with an agricultural rezoning of the property.

The Ewell family successfully petitioned the Worcester County Board of Commissioners to rezone 33 acres of Island Resort Campground, located off Croppers Island Road in Newark, going from an A-1 to an A-2 zoning designation.

Once the commissioners finalize the zoning change, which is expected soon, the Ewells plan to add 53 campsites to the campground’s existing 164 campsites. Their original proposal was for 62 sites.

The purpose of the rezoning was to return the existing campground to a legal conforming use. Rental campgrounds like theirs had been allowed in the A-1 Agricultural zoning area. And the property had been A-1 when it opened nearly 20 years ago.

However, the county’s 2009 comprehensive rezoning put their acreage into the A-2 zoning, where rental campsites are not permitted. It means the Ewell’s property has been nonconforming, and expansion of campsites wasn’t allowed for nonconforming properties, according to their attorney Mark Cropper.

 “You can’t expand a nonconforming use by more than 50 percent,” Cropper said in an interview. “It became very difficult to figure out, how to define the scope of the original campground, for the purpose of calculating whether this expansion did or did not exceed that 50 percent.

It’s bad news for illegal immigrants.

Newly appointed “Border Czar” Thomas Homan said “thousands” of retired border agents and military servicemen are volunteering to help with the incoming Trump administration’s planned mass deportation of illegals.

Homan shared the news during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” Monday.

“I shut my phone off Friday night because I couldn’t handle the phone calls, and texts and emails from thousands of ICE agents and border patrol agents excited about the rumor I’m coming back,” said Homan, the former Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting director.

“But more important than that, thousands of retired agents, retired border patrol agents, retired military [want] to come in an volunteer to help this president secure the border and do the deportation operation,” Homan said.

Community members will have a chance to share their thoughts on a proposed ordinance that addresses short-term rentals in residential and mobile home districts.

On Nov. 19, at 6 p.m., the Ocean City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on a proposed ordinance that establishes a minimum length of stay and a maximum occupancy limit for short-term rentals. As both regulations have a zoning component to them, both are being presented to the city’s planning commission for review.

“Our next planning commission meeting will be 11/19,” Planning and Community Development Director George Bendler told the commission last week. “That will be our public hearing for the rental ordinance and allowing public comments for that.”

In September, the Mayor and Council agreed to forward two proposed short-term rental regulations to the Ocean City Planning Commission for further review. When the matter was brought to the commission later that month, the commissioners directed staff to prepare an ordinance that could be presented for a public hearing, now scheduled for Nov. 19.

When Democrats rammed through the Inflation Reduction Act during the days they controlled all of Washington, D.C., it ignited a chain reaction that led to higher Medicare costs for America’s senior citizens.

“Nearly two years after its passage, the IRA has diverted nearly $260 billion from the projected Medicare ‘savings’  to pay for special interest handouts like large tax credits for costly electric vehicles, enormous subsidies paid to big health insurer-PBM corporations, and funding health care programs for illegal immigrants,” Ron Fitzwater, Chief Executive Officer of the Missouri Pharmacy Association, wrote in an Op-Ed in the Missouri Times.

“The Biden-Harris administration is not protecting Medicare; they’re stealing from it,” he wrote.

The pair attacked police while resisting arrest for trespassing in the Bronx

A suspected pair of migrants – one of whom was strapped with a loaded machine-gun – are roaming New York City streets again after they attacked two police officers while resisting arrest last week.

Abraham Sosa, 20, who lives above a day care center in the Bronx, was spotted trespassing and urinating inside an unauthorized tunnel area of a Bronx subway station on Nov. 5 at around 4:30 p.m. when police approached him and repeatedly asked for his identification, which he refused to provide, the NYPD tells Fox News Digital.

The officers then attempted to place Sosa under arrest on the northbound platform of the Kingsbridge subway station, but he resisted by “stiffening his arms and refusing to be handcuffed,” police say.

A brief struggle then ensued with 20-year-old Christopher Mayren jumping in to interfere with the arrest.

For those who say that there’s no politics in school, they’re either extremely ignorant or part of the liberal interference scheme to deflect and create disinformation by saying it isn’t so. Liberal political agendas and indoctrination is alive and well in our public schools.
On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump was elected as the next president of the United States. With the Harris-Walz ticket receiving only receiving 37.44% of the vote in Worcester County, a double standard has been revealed in the county’s public school system.
But how was a double standard revealed as a result of the election?
The day after the election (after the votes were tallied), the Principal of Snow Hill High School posted a message on the school’s facebook page:
Let’s unpack this message.
In the first sentence, the principal violated the First Amendment right of every student.
Regardless of a student’s political views, they have the right to celebrate a candidate they support or who was elected to be the next President of the United States.
In the second sentence, the principal revealed that he doesn’t know U.S. History, or at least pretends he does. He’s a principal of a school and doesn’t know that the United States of America is a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy.
Or does he?
He also claims that the school values diverse viewpoints and is committed to foster an “inclusive space” where all students can concentrate on their learning.
Is that so?
There is a new educational fad in our country’s schools. It’s called “Grading for Equity.” You’ll hear the phrase being bandied about in teacher training, school board meetings, and educational conferences. Here is a brief description of acceptable equitable grading practices from the book GRADING FOR EQUITY by Joe Feldman:

...use a 4-point grading scale, weight more recent performances, promote productive group work and high-quality work without a group grade, exclude behaviours from the grade (e.g., lateness, effort, participation), provide non-grade consequences for cheating, use alternatives for late work, reframe homework, allow retakes and opportunities to improve grades, use rubrics to calibrate learning intentions, promote students’ self-regulation and agency through student trackers and goal setting, and more.

Zero-grades, averaging, and extra credit, by contrast, are practices Feldman argues should be dropped.

While some of these processes such as weighting more recent “performances” on classwork, the exclusion of group grades (something I never agreed with), or allowing re-tests, most of what follows is removing any accountability of students for meeting deadlines. Not demanding that students complete work accurately, removing averaging of many grades and eliminating zero-grades when work is not done, are effectively killing the resiliency of our children.

Before we examine resiliency, let’s acknowledge that some of the practices listed above have been incorrectly or overused by some teachers merely to punish some students and favor others. Teachers, like any other profession, are good and bad, excellent and poor, etc.

Even if some teachers use these methods to manipulate students, others motivate and actually educate our young people by employing the practices listed as bad in Feldman’s book. There are some students who need high standards, strict expectations, deadlines and the application of appropriate consequences to help them learn. Human beings are all different, and it is up to the expert teacher to employ methods that bring out the best in their students.

The left was throwing fits on Wednesday as President-elect Donald Trump announced more appointments in his new administration.

They were throwing fits over Trump naming Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) got handed her head when she claimed he was “unqualified”; many schooled her on Hegseth’s 20+ year career in the military. Jim Acosta and Joy Reid also flipped out over Hegseth, but also failed to tell people about Hegseth’s military background. So much for any claim to be journalists by those two.

But the nomination that truly set some people off was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for Attorney General.

That had Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) losing his mind and saying Gaetz had to be rejected.

First the Supreme Court granted a president immunity for weaponizing the Justice Department. Now Donald Trump wants to appoint Matt Gaetz as AG?Confirming him would mean affirming the worst potential abuses of DOJ.He must be rejected by the Senate.

Gaetz has already resigned his seat in the House, which was a surprise. But that could allow Florida to fill the seat by Jan. 3, House Speaker Mike Johnson said.

Federal grant documents that contained a “blueprint” for creating the virus that causes COVID-19 may have been wrongly classified by the Defense Department, leading to a “flawed” probe of the pandemic’s origins by US intelligence agencies, according to whistleblower documents exclusively obtained by The Post.

The whistleblower, Marine Corps. Lt. Col. Joseph Murphy — who now runs the military branch’s Warfighting Lab based at Quantico, Va. — discovered in July 2021 that the unclassified grant proposal, known as Project DEFUSE, had been uploaded to a classified portal and notified his chain of command.

The DEFUSE proposal, which has since been cited by scientists as “smoking gun” evidence that COVID was engineered in a Chinese lab, was not included — despite being unclassified — in a final Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) report on the virus’ origins released in August 2021.

Murphy was unable to uncover why the proposal had been over-classified, and it was never used in the ODNI report, despite the fact that it had been submitted to the Intelligence Community (IC) by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he worked at the time.

Not long before President Donald Trump, in his first term, issued his so-called “travel ban” on 13 countries, Somalia-born Abdul Razak Ali Artan drove a Honda Civic into a crowd of fellow Ohio State University students and got out slashing with a butcher knife, injuring 11.

Campus police shot the young jihadist refugee to death, ending the Nov. 28, 2016 attack.

But this tragedy — and far too many other terrorism cases — would never have happened under Trump’s soon-after installed, falsely named “Muslim travel ban,” which sharply curtailed immigrant and non-immigrant US visas for foreign nationals from Somalia and 12 other nations where international terrorist groups operate.

Two years earlier, US authorities had authorized the Somali, his mother and seven siblings to settle in Ohio on refugee applications from a Pakistan camp.

They’d never have been allowed in at all were it in place.

Trump’s policy attracted so much backlash from virtue-signaling political oppositionists in the Democratic Party (whose publicists came up with the sticky “Muslim ban” label) that presidential candidate Joe Biden campaigned to rescind it and quickly followed through in March 2021 with a “Proclamation on Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The United States.”

Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson said Thursday that though the Democratic Party appears to be “hemorrhaging,” he doesn’t believe they understand how much the “new left” of their coalition is “despised” by voters.

Throughout Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign against President-elect Donald Trump, Democrats and corporate media ramped up their rhetoric against the former president, even labeling him an alleged “fascist” at one point. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” the senior fellow pointed out how “bulletproof” Trump seems to be against Democrats’ name-calling attacks, noting that he believes voters’ anger toward “the establishment” drives them to align with the former president.

“That’s why Donald Trump is bulletproof. That’s not a good metaphor after the two [assassination attempts], but my point is that they can’t, they thought that, they don’t understand, it’s even weirder than that,” Hanson said. “When they go after him and call him a fascist and a dictator, and they melt down, it’s not that that has no influence upon him. That makes Donald Trump more sympathetic, and people like to hear that about him, that he gets such a rush out of these awful people. That helps him.”

“The antithesis is true too,” he continued. “I didn’t think it was, but I’m beginning to think it is, that when Donald Trump says things that you’re not supposed to say, you know, like, ‘Kamala Harris was a low knowledge voter, low IQ’ or something, or ‘dumb as a post,’ … When Trump gets out of hand, people are so angry at the establishment.”

“If they hear Trump say something out there, and they think that’s going to make the establishment angry, then that’s fine with them,” Hanson added.

If you examine cable news viewership trends closely enough, you will find reasons for both satisfaction and discouragement.

Nonetheless, satisfaction prevails when one contemplates the totality of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over his establishment antagonists at CNN.

To quantify that victory, consider that since the network began its ill-fated crusade against Trump in 2016, the former kings and queens of prime-time cable news at CNN have hemorrhaged 94 percent of their viewing audience, per the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

In 2016, CNN ranked as the most-watched cable news network, with an average of 13.3 million prime-time viewers.

Remarkably, that number now stands at only around 800,000 — a decline of 93.99 percent.

Jeff Sessions and Benedict Arnold

In May 2023, Special Counsel John Durham released his final report on the leadup to the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. Durham concluded the FBI had no verified intel and zero evidence when they opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump in 2016.

In fact the entire conspiracy was created by the Hillary Campaign and then later used by the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to go after Donald Trump.

Again – They NEVER had ANY EVIDENCE to support the launch of an investigation into Trump and Russia. There was nothing there and the FBI and DOJ brass at the time knew this.

The Federal Election Commission is dropping the hammer on President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.

On Wednesday, the Washington Free Beacon posted a letter from FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and counsel Jeffrey Ragsdale, alleging the DOJ violated its own internal policies when it sent a letter to Elon Musk giving a warning about his political action committee giving away $1 million to registered voters in swing states.

The DOJ letter was picked up by the New York Times on Oct. 23. Cooksey broke down its substance and the issues he saw with the DOJ’s actions in his letter Wednesday.

Cooksey alleged the letter was leaked internally at the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section of its Criminal Division, with its intent being “to intimidate and chill private citizens and organizations from campaigning on behalf of President Trump.”

The content of the DOJ letter “informed America PAC that its constitutionally protected political activities may violate federal laws against paying individuals to register to vote, and then threatened the organization with potential criminal investigation and prosecution,” according to Cooksey.
