The women of the View have lost their minds. But this makes it undoubtable.

Because Whoopi Goldberg looked straight into the camera and went completely insane.

Whoopi Goldberg took direct aim at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday, staring straight into the camera on *The View* to accuse her of benefiting from the very “wokeness” she opposes.

During her first press briefing on Tuesday, Leavitt explained that the administration’s Office of Management and Budget had issued a memorandum temporarily freezing federal grants to prevent agencies from funding “wokeness,” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, or other initiatives the administration rejects.

Though a federal judge blocked the memo and it was later rescinded, Leavitt made it clear that the White House would not permit “wokeness” in federal agencies.

That statement sent Goldberg into a rage the following day.

“I would like this young lady—this is her first job—I would like her to do a little homework,” Goldberg fumed.

“Because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off. And that was [when] she said ‘there will be no wokeness here.’ Let me explain something to you, because without that wokeness, you may not have that job because women were not invited to that table.”

Goldberg continued her lecture, insisting that “wokeness” was responsible for women gaining workplace opportunities.

“Women were not invited to many tables in this nation,” she said. “The reason we fought and busted our behinds [was] to make sure that you didn’t have to worry about this. And now, to hear you talk about it and to hear anybody talk about the wokeness—the wokeness was put in place for a reason.”

Goldberg then took it a step further, claiming that “wokeness” was what had allowed women and racial minorities to succeed, supposedly shifting the U.S. from being a “man’s world” to a “person’s world.”

“So please, please stop using that phrase like you know what you’re talking about because you don’t understand what you’re saying,” she continued.

“You’re saying about yourself, ‘Hey, that’s a terrible thing to be.’ It’s not a terrible thing to be, that’s why we fought. That’s what we were fighting for so you could stand in that podium, so that [former White House press secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre could stand at that podium. So women of all kinds of colors and ilks, wherever they came from, whatever their belief system was, they had the opportunity to bust down that door.”

Goldberg wasn’t the only *View* co-host throwing baseless accusations. Joy Behar chimed in with her own theory—without a shred of evidence—that President Donald Trump only appointed Leavitt to the role because of her appearance.

Leavitt, at just 27 years old, is the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary. She held her first briefing without reading from a binder, a stark contrast to her predecessor.

During the briefing, she also announced a major shift in press room access. Seats normally reserved for staff will now be opened up to independent journalists and outlets that previously lacked an official place in the room. Additionally, she confirmed that the mysterious drones spotted over New Jersey were authorized for “research” purposes.

Despite Goldberg’s heated claims, Leavitt’s first appearance at the podium signaled a sharp departure from the past four years—one free from scripted answers and political pandering.

Walz failed as a candidate. Now he’s failing a decent human being.

And Tim Walz is being thrown into court for a truly shameful reason.

Minnesota Democrat Governor and failed vice-presidential hopeful Tim Walz went on an unhinged rant on MSNBC, falsely claiming that Elon Musk gave a N-zi salute after President Trump’s inauguration.

The outrageous smear quickly backfired, with calls on Musk’s platform, X, urging him to take legal action against Walz.

And Musk appears ready to do just that.

During his appearance with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night, Walz unleashed a tirade against Republicans, absurdly accusing them of wanting to “destroy the federal government.”

But he didn’t stop there—he also attacked Musk, declaring, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President (sic) Musk gave a N-zi salute. Of course, he did.”

Creepy Tim Walz says "of course" Elon did a Nazi salute. I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth. pic.twitter.com/fGCrAno02g

The baseless accusation sparked immediate backlash.

Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck called out Walz’s smear on X, posting, “Creepy Tim Walz says ‘of course Elon did a N-zi salute.’ I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth.”

Musk wasted no time in responding. “I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy 🤡,” he fired back.

Smearing conservatives as N-zis is nothing new for Walz.

Just last October, he outrageously compared a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to a N-zi gathering from the 1930s.

“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said at an event in Henderson, Nevada.

“There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”

Walz was apparently referring to a 1939 event organized by the pro-Hitler German American Bund, which drew over 20,000 attendees.

Ironically, while he was making his inflammatory remarks, the Democratic National Committee was busy projecting digital messages onto Madison Square Garden, falsely claiming, “Trump praised Hitler.”

If Musk follows through on his lawsuit, it could spell financial disaster for Walz.

According to CBS News, Walz’s net worth is estimated between $117,000 and $330,000, with most of his assets tied up in a retirement account.

The Wall Street Journal estimated his federal pension could be worth up to $800,000—but even that might not be enough to weather a defamation lawsuit from one of the world’s richest men.

Democrats don’t want to admit Trump’s right about anything. But the facts tell the whole story.

And now expert testimony in Congress confirms Trump was right all along.

A top international law expert told the Senate on Tuesday that the United States doesn’t need to wait for China or any other hostile nation to make a move at the Panama Canal before taking decisive action to protect American interests in this vital shipping route.

Eugene Kontorovich, a professor at George Mason University’s Scalia Law School, reminded senators that the U.S. has every right to intervene under its long-standing treaty with Panama. The agreement, established in the 1970s, includes “understandings” that explicitly allow America to defend the canal “against any threat to the regime of neutrality.”

“That’s why the treaty specifically says that we can act, not just to end actual obstructions to the canal,” Kontorovich explained. “We don’t have to wait until the canal is closed by hostile military action. That would be a suicide pact that would be catastrophic for us.”

The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee’s hearing centered on the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the canal. A major concern is the Hong Kong-based company Hutchison Ports, which controls ports at both ends of the canal and could act as Beijing’s proxy in a crisis.

This hearing comes as President Trump pushes to regain control of the strategic waterway, highlighting the serious national security risks posed by China’s growing grip on global shipping lanes. Trump has openly accused China of controlling the Panama Canal—a charge that both Panamanian and Chinese officials have, predictably, denied.

Unlike the weak, passive approach of previous administrations, President Trump has refused to rule out military action if necessary to secure U.S. interests.

Witnesses at the hearing acknowledged that the Panama Canal is officially managed by the Panama Canal Authority. However, there is no denying China’s significant influence, especially through Panama’s participation in Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative—another scheme for the CCP to expand its global control.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, raised the alarm over the close ties between Hutchison Ports and the Chinese government. He questioned whether these connections could allow Beijing to disrupt shipping through the canal at will, potentially violating the treaty.

“[The Chinese government] could go to these two companies saying, ‘Hey, shut it down, make it hard, sink a ship in the canal,’” Sullivan warned. “And wouldn’t they be obligated to do that under Chinese law if they were ordered to by the PLA or the CCP?”

Kontorovich acknowledged that while it was unclear if Hutchison Ports would be legally required to follow such an order, the reality is that “Beijing does have many tools of leverage and pressure on these companies.”

Sen. Tim Sheehy, another Republican from Montana, pressed further, asking how quickly China could bring the canal to a standstill. He referenced the 2021 Ever Given disaster, when a massive container ship blocked the Suez Canal for six days, crippling global shipping.

Federal Maritime Commissioner Daniel Maffei conceded that China “could probably do a similar thing,” acknowledging that such an act would be outright terrorism. However, Maffei noted that Beijing doesn’t even need military force to accomplish its goals.

“It’s not hard to close off a waterway,” Maffei admitted. “The Panama Canal is actually quite vulnerable in terms of infrastructure. It’s not, you know, this is not a fort or militarily reinforced location … Why would they bother with a military-like operation when they can get what they want with non-military means?”

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz underscored President Trump’s concerns about China’s growing influence in the region. Over the years, the treaty negotiated by then-President Jimmy Carter—widely criticized as a disastrous giveaway—has been exploited, making the U.S. increasingly vulnerable to foreign control over the canal.

While the hearing focused on the alarming implications of China’s control, Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar attempted to shift the conversation away from this national security crisis. Instead, she bizarrely fixated on President Trump’s decision to freeze federal grant funding, a move designed to prevent wasteful spending and refocus America’s economic priorities.

Klobuchar took issue with a memo from Trump’s acting Office of Management and Budget director, which temporarily paused “all federal financial assistance” except for Social Security and Medicare. The order went into effect Tuesday night.

“Freezing all federal funding already granted to improve port and freight infrastructure through the port infrastructure program, seems to me a major problem we should be addressing if we’re talking about America’s shipping interests,” Klobuchar complained, trying to distract from the real issue: China’s tightening grip on global trade routes.

At the end of the day, President Trump’s America First approach stands in stark contrast to the failed leadership of the past. While Democrats bicker over bureaucratic funding, Trump remains laser-focused on protecting the U.S. from the looming threat of Chinese control over the Panama Canal.

The federal government’s rot runs deeper than most think. And now they’re in for a rude awakening.

Because Trump took the Swamp by surprise with a game changing threat.

The Trump administration is rolling out a sweeping plan to restore accountability in the federal workforce, offering buyouts to nearly all federal employees—including remote workers—as part of President Donald Trump’s push to end the work-from-home culture that has plagued government efficiency. But employees must decide quickly, as the deadline to opt-in is Feb. 6.

From the moment Trump took office, he wasted no time in reversing the failures of the past four years. One of his first directives was a clear mandate: federal employees must return to in-person work.

“After four years of incompetence and failure, President Donald Trump is committed to making our government efficient and productive again,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Tuesday. “American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers.

“If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of eight months,” she added.

On Tuesday, a government-wide email went out, ensuring that every federal worker understood the administration’s plan.

Trump’s four-pillar approach aims to reintroduce accountability to a bloated bureaucracy: a full return to in-office work, strict oversight for employees with policymaking authority, increased accountability for senior executives, and a reformed hiring process based on merit rather than bureaucratic gamesmanship.

“The government-wide email being sent today is to make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards,” a senior administration official said.

“We’re five years past COVID and just 6 percent of federal employees work full-time in office. That is unacceptable.”

The email confirmed that remote work, a hallmark of Democratic mismanagement, would no longer be tolerated. Federal employees still working remotely since COVID must now return to their physical offices five days a week.

“Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers,” the email read.

For those who comply with the return-to-office directive, the Trump administration expressed its gratitude for their “renewed focus” on serving the American people—though the email made it clear that their roles were not guaranteed.

For those who refuse, the administration is offering a “dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program.”

This program, running from Jan. 28 to Feb. 6, allows employees to resign while retaining full pay and benefits and remain exempt from in-person work requirements until Sept. 30, 2025.

Notably, the buyouts will not apply to military personnel, U.S. Postal Service employees, immigration enforcement officials, national security positions, or any other critical roles that agencies deem necessary.

“To be clear, as it was with President Trump’s executive order on Day One, implementation of return-to-work policies will be done by each individual agency in accordance with applicable law,” the senior administration official said.

“We expect 5 to 10 percent of federal employees to quit, and it could lead to $100 billion annually in savings for federal taxpayers.”

With this bold initiative, Trump is delivering exactly what Americans voted for—an efficient, accountable government that works for the people, not an entitled class of bureaucrats who prefer collecting taxpayer-funded paychecks from their couches.

The mainstream media is doing their best to push the narrative against Trump. But now the President is fighting back.

And Trump’s Border Czar went on CNN and started throwing punches.

Border Czar Tom Homan didn’t hold back during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Monday night, where he forcefully defended the Trump administration’s bold and much-needed mass deportation operation.

In a heated exchange on *The Source*, Homan shut down Collins’ attempts to cast doubt on ICE’s strategy of targeting illegal aliens who have been hiding out in so-called “safe spaces” like schools, churches, and hospitals.

Collins pressed Homan, questioning what she framed as an unprecedented move. “What is the standard, I guess, to go into an elementary school?” she asked. “Because what we had heard from immigration advocates is that this is going to provide a chilling effect to parents in the school drop-off line or something of that matter.”

Homan, known for his no-nonsense approach to border enforcement, didn’t hesitate to dismantle her premise.

“It shouldn’t be a chilling effect unless your child is a terrorist or a public safety threat,” he responded.

“If they are a public safety threat, a national security threat, they should be chilled. They should be afraid, because we’re looking for them.”

Homan’s response laid bare the administration’s unwavering focus on protecting American citizens. Instead of bending to the left-wing media narrative, he reminded viewers of the real priorities: ensuring the safety of the public and defending the rule of law.

When Collins tried to pivot the discussion to parents who are illegal aliens, Homan wasn’t about to back down.

“They’re not off the table either. I mean, they’re in the country illegally, they have got a problem,” Homan said firmly.

He continued, calling out the double standard that seems to be tolerated by open-border advocates. “I mean, it’s not OK — look, we — it’s not OK to enter this country illegally. It’s a crime. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I’m in Switzerland illegally. So we’re going to enforce the laws of this country.”

Homan made it clear that under President Trump’s leadership, national security threats and public safety risks won’t find safe havens anywhere in the United States. “National security threats and public safety threats have no safe haven in this country, and we will go where we got to go,” he added.

This exchange highlights the Trump administration’s unwavering resolve to prioritize the safety of American families over political correctness.

While the mainstream media continues to parrot immigration advocacy talking points, Homan and the president are laser-focused on delivering results.

President Trump’s immigration policies have not only restored a sense of law and order but have also sent a strong message to those who think they can flout the nation’s laws with impunity.

The era of turning a blind eye to illegal immigration is over, and the administration is making it abundantly clear: America is a nation of laws, and those laws will be enforced.

Under Trump’s leadership, border security is no longer an afterthought. With strong allies like Homan at the helm, the administration is proving that it’s not afraid to tackle difficult issues head-on, even when it ruffles feathers in the media or among activist groups. The focus remains squarely on protecting Americans and upholding the sovereignty of the United States.

Joe Biden painted himself as the “devout” Catholic of the bunch. But now his Church is taking Trump’s side.

And the US Catholic Bishops handed Trump a major victory that is raising eyebrows.

A Welcome Surprise

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) released a statement on Jan. 26 expressing deep gratitude for President Trump’s recent pro-life actions, including an executive order and memorandum designed to eliminate taxpayer-funded abortion.

“We gratefully applaud the decision to end taxpayer-funded abortion,” stated Bishop Daniel E. Thomas of Toledo, Ohio, who serves as chairman of the USCCB Committee for Pro-Life Activities.

Trump’s executive order reversed previous administration policies that paved the way for taxpayer dollars to fund abortion.

Additionally, the reinstatement and expansion of the Mexico City Policy now ensures that U.S. foreign aid will no longer support organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas.

“A significant majority of Americans oppose being forced to support abortion through their tax dollars,” Bishop Thomas emphasized.

“I am grateful for the strengthening of policies that protect us from being compelled to participate in a culture of death, and that help us to restore a culture of life at home and abroad.”

Ruling for the American People

The USCCB highlighted a recent poll commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, revealing that 57% of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion domestically, while 73% are against funding abortion abroad.

The bishops also celebrated the United States’ renewed commitment to the Geneva Consensus Declaration, an international agreement affirming women’s health, the right to life for the unborn, and the essential role of the family.

Trump had spearheaded this initiative during his first term, garnering signatures from over 30 nations before the Biden administration withdrew from it.

“It is important and encouraging to see the United States again taking leadership in affirming the right to life and the fundamental place of the family on the global stage where many pressures can be arrayed against these values,” said Bishop Thomas.

The bishops also praised Trump’s recent pardons of peaceful pro-life advocates imprisoned under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

“Pro-life Americans have a right to pray in public, to counsel women who are considering abortion, and to peacefully protest,” Bishop Thomas affirmed.

“We welcome support for men and women who are exercising these rights to witness to a culture of life, and, at the same time, we absolutely reject resorting to force or violence.”

These actions reflect Trump’s steadfast commitment to protecting the unborn and promoting a culture of life—values that resonate deeply with a majority of Americans and with the Catholic Church’s mission to defend life at every stage.

We’re in uncharted waters now. And who knows how it will all shake out.

Now the Pentagon was put on lockdown for a reason you’ll have to see to believe.

The Pentagon announced Friday night a sharp reduction in social media activity across the Defense Department for the next 10 days, a move aimed at aligning military messaging with President Trump’s policy priorities.

The new directive instructs all military components, from bases to combatant commands, to suspend most social media posts beginning Saturday through February 3.

The decision is seen as part of a larger effort to refocus the Pentagon on its core mission of safeguarding America’s interests.

A defense official clarified the reasoning behind the move in the memo, stating, “This is designed to reorient the Pentagon around its core missions of keeping America safe, fielding the most lethal force on the planet, and fighting and winning wars.”

This shift reflects Trump’s vision of a streamlined and mission-focused military, unencumbered by distractions that critics say have diluted its priorities in recent years.

Notably, there are key exceptions to the social media freeze.

The policy permits Defense Department components to continue posting about U.S. military efforts to secure the southern border, a cornerstone of Trump’s America First agenda.

The memo underscores the importance of this effort, noting that “this is top priority for the department.”

Routine updates related to the daily operations of military bases and installations are also exempt from the restrictions, ensuring transparency on essential matters.

The announcement coincided with the Senate’s narrow confirmation of former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next Secretary of Defense.

Hegseth, a vocal supporter of President Trump’s military reforms, is expected to help implement the administration’s vision for restoring discipline, strength, and focus to America’s armed forces.

The memo outlining the social media changes was signed by Defense Department Chief of Staff Joe Kasper.

This latest move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to distance the military from left-leaning initiatives, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Critics of DEI policies argue that such initiatives have weakened the military’s emphasis on merit, readiness, and operational effectiveness.

The Pentagon’s decision to restrict messaging on social media aligns with Trump’s broader push to eliminate distractions and ensure the military remains apolitical and focused on its mission.

Posts promoting DEI-related themes or other politically charged content have come under scrutiny in recent months as the administration works to recalibrate the military’s priorities.

By emphasizing topics such as border security and operational readiness, the Pentagon is signaling a clear commitment to advancing policies that put the safety and security of Americans first.

Officials have confirmed that additional guidance regarding social media engagement will be shared early next month. This pause in activity is seen as an opportunity for the military to reassess its communication strategy and ensure it reflects the president’s vision of a stronger, more focused defense apparatus.

With this recalibration, the Trump administration is doubling down on its promise to restore the military’s standing as a lethal, disciplined, and apolitical force dedicated solely to defending the nation and its values.

Stay tuned to Prudent Politics.

The Swamp is panicking like never before. They know Trump is back with a vengeance.

And the Department of Education is shredding documents after Trump made this one order.

The Department of Education took decisive action Thursday to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, shutting down controversial training programs and placing DEI administrators on paid leave.

In a statement, the department explained: “These actions are in line with President Trump’s ongoing commitment to end illegal discrimination and wasteful spending across the federal government.

They are the first step in reorienting the agency toward prioritizing meaningful learning ahead of divisive ideology in our schools.”

This announcement comes just days after President Trump issued an executive order declaring DEI policies “illegal” and warning they “threaten the safety of American men, women, and children across the Nation by diminishing the importance of individual merit, aptitude, hard work, and determination when selecting people for jobs and services in key sectors of American society.”

The executive order also mandates federal agencies to “combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities.”

In line with these directives, the Department of Education disbanded the Diversity & Inclusion Council, originally established under President Barack Obama, along with two other DEI-related entities.

The department also canceled DEI training programs and service contracts worth more than $2.6 million and rescinded the controversial “Equity of Action Plan.”

Additionally, more than 200 web pages promoting DEI resources and encouraging schools and higher education institutions to adopt divisive ideological programs have been removed, according to the department’s press release.

The move sparked mixed reactions. Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees National, criticized Trump’s executive order, claiming it undermines federal hiring practices.

“Undoing these [DEI] programs is just another way for President Trump to undermine the merit-based civil service and turn federal hiring and firing decisions into loyalty tests,” Kelley stated. He also echoed concerns from military leaders who have suggested that eliminating DEI programs within the Defense Department could harm military readiness.

On the other hand, critics of DEI welcomed the move, describing such initiatives as immoral and divisive.

David Burton, senior fellow in economic policy at the Thomas A. Roe Institute, wrote in December, “Morally, DEI represents a marked step backwards. It is rejection of the principle that people should be judged on the content of their character and their individual achievement rather than their s*x, race, national origin, ethnicity, or s*xual orientation.”

Tim Walberg, Chairman of the Education and Workforce Committee and a Republican from Michigan, expressed a similar view last week.

“Instead of merit, skills, and ability,” Walberg said, “DEI devotees pushed policies that are antithetical to American exceptionalism.”

Walberg further added:

“From the classroom to the boardroom, Americans have felt the negative effects. DEI has bloated education budgets while telling students what to think instead of how to think.”

The Department of Education’s move marks a significant step in dismantling DEI policies that critics argue have prioritized ideological conformity over individual achievement and merit.

Former Vice President Harris is busy licking her wounds. Now she can’t believe her eyes.

And Kamala Harris is furious after this incriminating report about her dropped.

Kamala Harris wasted no time fleeing Washington, D.C., after grimacing her way through Donald Trump’s inauguration, clad in what resembled a black funeral suit. By the next day, she was back in her native California, far from the political theater she had just exited.

Back in the sunny confines of La-La Land, the now-jobless former vice president has time to process what is arguably the most humiliating loss of her career. For someone whose political trajectory seemed unstoppable, this defeat has sent shockwaves through her carefully curated image.

As Harris likely stews over her fall from grace, it’s hard to imagine her not pointing fingers. Former President Joe Biden, accused of dropping out of the race too late, is one target. Donald Trump’s relentless attacks are another. Even her husband, Doug Emhoff, whose murky past brought embarrassing headlines, might not escape the blame.

Harris’ campaign, described by critics as elitist and out of touch, fell flat with voters. Celebrity-packed concerts, vague messaging, and endless word salads alienated her audience. Yet Harris seemed oblivious to these glaring issues, and her inner circle only recognized the campaign’s failings when it was far too late.

One insider told *The Post* that Harris and her team never prepared for the possibility of losing. “Even up until 6, 7 p.m. on election night, they felt very confident she would become president,” the source revealed.

Despite Harris retreating to the West Coast, her allies remain detached from political reality. Many refuse to acknowledge that her devastating loss has all but crushed her chances of running again. “If she wants to be president, she will start her campaign next year. She’s well positioned to run again,” insisted one source, echoing the wishful thinking that plagued her campaign.

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., the postmortem is far less forgiving. “She is done in D.C. and quite frankly was the worst major candidate of either party since Michael Dukakis,” a senior Democratic congressional source said bluntly.

Another insider painted a similar picture: “She was a mid vice president. No big screwups, but not a shining star. I think we need to move past Kamala Harris to a new generation of leaders in the Democratic Party.”

Harris’ meteoric rise from Oakland prosecutor to vice president has hit a brick wall. Her career, once buoyed by powerful connections like former lover and Democratic kingmaker Willie Brown, is now in uncharted territory. Reports suggest she’s weighing a gubernatorial run in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028.

Adding to the bizarre optics, Harris has reportedly turned to Hillary Clinton for advice—an ironic move, given Clinton’s own humiliating defeat to Trump in 2016. The two have spoken multiple times since Harris’ loss, according to *New York Magazine*.

Harris still has loyalists spinning her potential future. One congressional source quipped, “Harris could break one glass ceiling and do the near-impossible of turning California red if she chooses to run for governor in 2028.” Yet the field for governor is already crowded with credible candidates unburdened by a national-scale loss.

“There are about five credible candidates for California governor right now, including Rick Caruso,” said a former Los Angeles district attorney. “Los Angeles is full of virtue signalers, but a lot of them may be having second thoughts about [ultra-progressive] politicians like Harris, given the wildfires.”

Since her loss, Harris has largely kept a low profile, emerging briefly to console wildfire victims in Southern California. Her Brentwood mansion was even threatened by the blazes. But any goodwill from these appearances was undercut by the optics of Gov. Gavin Newsom swooping in to grab the spotlight. Newsom, who is widely expected to run for president in 2028, used the fires as a backdrop to launch his unofficial campaign—though not without gaffes, such as pretending to be on the phone with Biden to dodge an irate resident.

Harris’ personal life has also taken a hit. Rumors about her marriage to Doug Emhoff have intensified since the election. While Emhoff has denied assault allegations against his ex-girlfriend, he hasn’t addressed claims of an affair with his children’s former nanny, Najen Naylor. His past indiscretions have done little to bolster Harris’ already shaky public image.

The fallout from Harris’ return to California has been palpable. Even her neighbors aren’t thrilled. “I’m embarrassed that she lives here, and I’m embarrassed that she represented the United States,” one Brentwood resident told *The Post*. “Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom—they’ve destroyed my state. Kamala Harris will do exactly the same. I’d rather she find another state to destroy.”

Harris, who once championed “joy” on the campaign trail, may now need to embrace a quieter existence. After spending time vacationing in Hawaii and hosting holiday parties post-election, her public appearances have dwindled. One former associate didn’t mince words: “She’s a fake and a fraud. Retire for God’s sake. Let some other people take a stab at life.”

As Harris’ star dims, one harsh suggestion seems to resonate: a move to Montecito to join the likes of Meghan Markle—another once-promising figure whose relevance has waned.

Biden oversaw the tanking of the United States economy. All of that could be turning around.

And now the Federal Reserve is in an uproar over this White House announcement.

President Trump didn’t hold back on Thursday when discussing his views on interest rates, making it clear that he wants them to drop significantly—and he expects the Federal Reserve to follow his lead.

“I’d like to see them come down a lot and oil prices will come down,” Mr. Trump said after signing a series of executive orders. He argued that lower energy prices would lead to broad economic benefits.

“And when oil prices come down, everything’s going to be cheaper for the American people, and actually for the world, but for the American people.”

Trump explained the connection between energy costs and inflation, stating, “When the energy comes down, that’s going to knock out a lot of the inflation. That’s going to automatically bring the interest rates down.”

Earlier in the day, during virtual remarks to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Mr. Trump doubled down on his stance. He told the audience he would “demand interest rates drop immediately.”

When a reporter pressed him on whether he expected the Federal Reserve to heed his call, Trump responded confidently.

“Yeah,” he said, adding that he would meet with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell “at the right time.”

The president didn’t shy away from criticizing the Federal Reserve, implying he had a better grasp of the issue than those in charge.

“I know interest rates much better than they do, and I think I know it certainly much better than the one who’s primarily in charge of making that decision,” he remarked.

The Federal Reserve is set to announce its decision on interest rates next week, with current rates hovering between 4.25% and 4.5%.

While most analysts expect the central bank to hold rates steady, Trump’s comments have added fuel to the ongoing debate about monetary policy.

This isn’t the first time Mr. Trump has taken aim at the Fed. During his first term, he frequently pressured Powell, both publicly and privately, to lower interest rates.

Despite his efforts, the Fed resisted many of his demands.

Still, the president signaled he’s willing to continue making his views known.

“I am guided by the Federal Reserve,” Trump said, before adding a caveat. “But if I disagree, I will let it be known.”

With the Fed’s decision looming, Trump’s remarks are sure to keep the spotlight on the central bank and its next move.

Everyone’s secrets are coming out now. And the Left is not happy about it.

Because a former Clinton adviser came out with a shocking revelation that is dropping jaws.

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville didn’t hold back during a recent episode of the “Politics War Room” podcast.

Speaking with cohost Al Hunt, Carville delivered a blunt assessment of former President Joe Biden, urging him to retire quietly to his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and avoid the public spotlight.

“What he’s done to himself is no one wants to hear from this guy anymore,” Carville said, expressing the frustration many within the Democratic Party reportedly feel.

“Okay, just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And that’s not because we’re bad people or we’re mean people. It was all his doing. All his doing, this entire thing.”

Carville, who has been outspoken about the Democratic Party’s embrace of “woke” ideology, placed the blame squarely on Biden’s shoulders.

According to Carville, not only have voters lost interest in Biden, but even his own party seems uninterested in hearing from him anymore.

The veteran strategist also took aim at Biden’s repeated claim that he could have beaten Donald Trump in November had he stayed in the race.

Carville didn’t mince words, dismissing the assertion entirely. “No one f***ing believes that at all!” he declared.

Carville also touched on reported tensions between Biden and others in his circle, including First Lady Jill Biden and filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi.

“I mean, just look, guy — you had a noble career. Your last act was terrible. Just get out of the way,” Carville said.

“The party’s moving on. I mean, they’re really moving on, and it’s very sad, but that’s just where we are. And he created this himself. He has nobody to blame but himself. Nobody.”

Hunt chimed in, agreeing that Biden no longer has a role in the national conversation.

He suggested that Biden might find a better use of his time by stepping away from politics altogether and focusing on raising funds for a presidential library.

Carville went even further, warning that if Biden insisted on maintaining a public presence in politics, it would only hurt him and the party.

“If he keeps this up, it’s not going to help anyone,” Carville said, making it clear that Biden’s continued involvement would likely be viewed as more of a liability than an asset.

For a strategist like Carville, who has spent decades shaping Democratic campaigns, the message was both sharp and unmistakable: the party is ready to move forward, and Biden is no longer the figure to lead them.

Wow, James Carville did not hold back on Joe Biden: "What he's done to himself is no one wants to hear from this guy anymore. Just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there."

Sometimes it’s hard to believe the Left has a conscience. What they’re willing to do goes far beyond the pale.

And now Senate Democrats sunk a bill in Congress for one horrifying reason.

Senate Democrats on Jan. 22 blocked the advancement of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, effectively halting Republican efforts to require medical care for infants born alive during failed abortion attempts.

The proposed legislation, introduced on Jan. 16 by Republican Sens. John Kennedy (La.), James Lankford (Okla.), and Jim Banks (Ind.), with 39 additional GOP co-sponsors, would have mandated that health care providers deliver the same level of care to infants born alive after an abortion as they would to any other baby of the same gestational age, CatholicVote reported.

Despite a Republican majority in the Senate, the bill failed to reach the 60 votes needed to advance, falling short at 52-47, The Hill reported.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) had anticipated the uphill battle, citing staunch Democratic opposition to the measure.

“[Democratic senators] will vote against protection for a living, breathing newborn baby simply because that child has been born alive after an attempted abortion,” Thune said.

A baby born alive after an attempted abortion should be entitled to the same protection and medical care that any other newborn baby is entitled to.

“Democrats are afraid that by recognizing the humanity of the newly-born child, they will inadvertently point to the humanity of the unborn child.”

The bill included provisions requiring health care workers to report instances where born-alive infants did not receive proper care to law enforcement.

Additionally, it mandated that abortion survivors be transported to a hospital for further medical treatment.

Thune underscored the moral implications of the legislation, saying, “Once you recognize the humanity of the newly-born baby, it gets a little harder to say that that child wasn’t human just a few moments ago, simply because he or she wasn’t yet born.”

Democrats, however, dismissed the bill as unnecessary, claiming federal laws already prohibit infanticide. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) went so far as to call the legislation “pernicious.”

“The Republican so-called ‘born-alive’ bill is pernicious as they come,” Schumer said, accusing Republicans of pushing “false narratives and outright fearmongering” in what he claimed was an attempt to “attack women’s health care.”

He also argued the bill would create undue legal risks for doctors.

The vote came on the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the controversial Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide and was overturned in 2022.

This week, thousands of pro-life advocates have gathered in Washington, D.C., for the annual March for Life, underscoring the ongoing divide on abortion policy in America.

Although Democrats succeeded in blocking the legislation, Republicans’ push for the bill highlights their ongoing commitment to defending the rights of vulnerable newborns—a stark contrast to Democratic rhetoric, which critics argue prioritizes political ideology over protecting life.
