FBI announces terrorist on the loose that put America on high alert

0

Our nation’s enemies are alive and well. And they’ve infiltrated the homeland.

And now the FBI announced a terrorist on the loose that put America on high alert.

The FBI has released surveillance video showing an unidentified suspect setting a ballot drop box ablaze with an incendiary device in Portland — a troubling event among several similar incidents in Oregon and Washington state ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

Authorities described the suspect as a White male, aged 30 to 40, with balding and short hair.

They believe he may have skills in metalwork or welding.

Footage shows the suspect driving up to the ballot box in what appears to be an early 2003-2004 Volvo S-60 sedan.

The vehicle, dark in color with dark wheels and a light-colored interior, lacks the Volvo emblem on its front grill.

During the Oct. 28 incident, the car displayed a fake temporary Washington state license plate on the back, while no front plate was present.

Officials noted the fake plate might no longer be in use.

The first of these ballot box arson attempts occurred on Oct. 8 between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. in Vancouver, Washington, where, fortunately, no ballots were harmed.

However, two more fires were set on Oct. 28 between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. in Vancouver and Portland.

In the Vancouver incident, hundreds of ballots were destroyed, while Portland saw damage to just three ballots.

Though the ballot boxes are equipped with fire suppression systems, the system inside the Vancouver box malfunctioned, resulting in the loss of more ballots.

The FBI has announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible for these attacks.

All three incidents reportedly involved improvised incendiary devices placed outside the ballot boxes.

Investigators were able to recover sufficient materials from the devices to connect all three fires.

Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey denounced the arson as “a direct attack on democracy” with Election Day fast approaching.

It’s interesting that the FBI was able to track down countless people with even the vaguest connection to January 6th, but can’t seem to find people who are burning actual ballots.

Makes you think.

Democrats just made a fatal mistake that plays right into Trump’s hands

0

The Left is in an uproar. They don’t know how to make sense of their election loss.

And they made a fatal mistake that plays right into Trump’s hands.

A group of Gen Z voters voiced their frustration with what they see as “corrupted” mainstream media bias against President-elect Donald Trump, saying it impacted the recent election.

In a focus group with The New York Times, 13 undecided young voters shared their thoughts post-election. While most had supported President Biden in 2020 or weren’t old enough to vote then, now over half revealed they had cast their votes for Trump this time around, with only two backing the vice president.

For many, media bias was a decisive factor.

Joseph, a former Biden supporter from South Carolina, 24, said, “The mainstream media was carrying Kamala Harris’s water. We need a check on the president to have a healthy democracy. If Kamala Harris was elected, there wouldn’t be a check on her from the media.”

Abigail, 23, also a former Biden voter from Virginia, remarked, “I saw how the media has become so corrupted in their cause against Trump. There was that Trump clip of him saying: Put Cheney in front of a bunch of shooters. But he wasn’t actually implying Cheney should be shot. I cannot vote for an establishment that just thinks it’s OK to lie to us.”

George, a college student from Georgia, 21, shared his frustration over misleading stories about Trump, saying, “Seeing The Washington Post’s reaction to them not endorsing a candidate — people resigning — it’s hell on Earth over there. And The New York Times is just clearly biased. Everyone is just so not fair to Trump.”

For Lillian, 27, a 2020 Trump supporter from Virginia, the “meltdown” the media had over Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally cemented her decision to vote for him again.

Jack, a 22-year-old former Biden voter from New York, noted the media’s “double standard” with Trump versus Harris. “We saw it with the ‘garbage’ comment by Biden. That was kind of just glossed over. Seeing people on MSNBC and even The Times, unfortunately, saying Kamala ran a flawless campaign. Maybe it’s because Trump actually had substance and Kamala just ran on joy.”

Mark, a 24-year-old California voter who also supported Biden in 2020, added, “They go after Trump and never went after Kamala. They have their own biases. And they let it seep into their coverage of the election.”

Several voters applauded Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance for connecting directly with audiences. One mentioned voting for Trump after watching Vance’s interview with The New York Times, while others cited Trump’s appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience as a pivotal moment.

Joseph said, “The Joe Rogan interview was huge for me. Trump enthusiastically said yes to a three-hour, open, honest conversation with Joe Rogan, who was a former Bernie bro. I think it’s very telling about which candidate is authentic and which candidate is not.”

Lillian suggested that Trump and Vance keep up these direct media appearances, calling it a “cool way to check in and give a progress update.”

In contrast, some criticized Harris for her few media appearances, and when she did appear, it seemed to hurt her. One voter decided to go with Trump after seeing Harris on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Laura, a 20-year-old intern from Maryland, said, “I was looking for a candidate that I felt I could trust. A key moment that stuck out to me was the ‘S.N.L.’ skit that Harris did, where she essentially made fun of herself. All her focus was going to entertainment industries and avoiding interviews. That came off to me as very phony.”

Laura, who ended up voting for a write-in candidate, added, “I didn’t like seeing Harris doing a lot of entertainment interviews and not focusing on actual interviews.”

Overall, many of these Gen Z voters expressed hope that, in future elections, there would be less bias from the media and a greater commitment to fairness.

“I hope that people take the mainstream media less seriously and do their own research to know what candidates actually believe,” Joseph said.

Abigail agreed, adding, “Yeah, I hope that in four years, the mainstream media wakes up and sees everybody is fine and stops calling Republicans fascists just because they disagree with them.”

Leftist Senator sent into hiding after getting absolutely embarrassed online

0

The Democrats aren’t taking their election defeats very well. They’re lashing out in the most ridiculous ways.

And this Leftist Senator was sent into hiding after getting absolutely embarrassed online.

In a recent post on social media, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tried to cast doubt on U.S. Army veteran Pete Hegseth’s qualifications, questioning his suitability as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense.

However, her criticisms quickly backfired when a wave of responses highlighted Hegseth’s impressive credentials and military accomplishments.

Warren voiced her disapproval of Hegseth’s nomination on X, where she implied that his role as a co-host on Fox News’ Fox & Friends Weekend was his only major credential. “A Fox & Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,” she wrote. “I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our servicemembers. Donald Trump’s pick will make us less safe and must be rejected.”

But responses to Warren’s post were quick to challenge her narrow portrayal of Hegseth. Hegseth’s record includes not just time on television but also two decades of service in the U.S. Army, where he earned two Bronze Stars and served multiple tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay.

Additionally, Hegseth has degrees from Princeton and Harvard and has remained active with veterans’ organizations since his service.

Evan Berryhill responded pointedly: “You left out some of his resume: 20 years of military service. 2 bronze stars. Degrees from Princeton and Harvard. Active with veterans organizations since leaving active duty. You can go ahead and sit this one out, Senator.”

Others echoed this sentiment, highlighting Hegseth’s dedication and experience.

Sean Davis from The Federalist didn’t mince words in his response either. “Pete Hegseth is a 20-year military veteran, a decorated combat veteran, a recipient of the Bronze Star (2x), and graduated from both Harvard and Princeton. You falsely claimed to be an Indian to get a job you couldn’t get on the merits. Sit down, Pocahontas,” he posted.

Another user criticized Warren for omitting key elements of Hegseth’s service, linking this approach to the sentiment many believe cost the Democrats support in the recent election.

“Characterizing him as simply a Fox News host is a despicable lie of omission. This bulls*** is why your party was wiped out in the election. Are you all not capable of learning anything, or do you plan to just keep imploding?”

Writer Margot Cleveland pointed out the apparent contradiction in Warren’s critique, stating, “By framing veteran and double bronze-star recipient Pete Hegseth as ‘weekend co-host,’ you prove you don’t respect everyone one of our servicemembers.”

In addition to his Bronze Stars, Hegseth holds the Combat Infantryman’s Badge (CIB), a distinction awarded to soldiers in infantry or Special Forces units who have faced enemy fire in ground combat.

He continues to serve in the Minnesota National Guard’s Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR), underscoring his commitment to his country and to his fellow servicemembers.

Through these responses, Hegseth’s supporters made clear that his service and sacrifices extend far beyond the Fox News studio, a point Warren may not have fully anticipated.

CNN went up in flames after its former owner exposed one truth about the network

0

The mainstream media isn’t known for being fair. But now even their allies are turning on them.

And CNN went up in flames after its former owner exposed one truth about the network.

Former CNN chief Chris Licht didn’t hold back in criticizing the “hyperbole” from legacy media surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s historic win last week.

Speaking at the Yahoo Finance Invest conference on Tuesday, Licht addressed the question of how the media can regain public trust as the country heads into Trump’s second term.

His advice for media colleagues was straightforward: “Swing at the pitches that are thrown.”

Licht humorously referenced comedian Chris Rock, saying, “To completely butcher a Chris Rock phrase, if someone k*lls eight people, don’t say they k*lled nine.”

He urged the press to focus on Trump’s actual actions rather than exaggerating.

“[Trump’s] going to do enough things that really require scrutiny and sounding the alarm bells. Don’t say, ‘Well, this means this, and that means that’s going to happen.’ Say he did this, and then let’s discuss what that means. Not, ‘Well this is going to mean this’ because a lot of times the media gets in trouble when they predict things.”

Ousted as CNN’s chairman and CEO in June 2023 after just over a year, Licht pointed out the “hyperbole” he observed from the media about what a Trump second term would mean.

“‘It’s the end of democracy.’ Well, if it’s not, if four years from now it’s not, then we have a problem with credibility,” Licht said. “So instead, ‘He’s appointed this person, this is this person’s track record,’ not ‘that means he’s going to do this,’ right?”

“There will be enough to discuss. There will be enough things that are going to be controversial. But he and his people know exactly what they’re doing when they try to gin up what one of my former colleagues called outrage p*rn. If everything is an 11, and everything is outrageous, then you’re able to kind of slip through some things that actually should create that outrage,” Licht explained.

Licht was appointed by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav in 2022 to boost CNN’s viewership and rebuild its reputation after years of being branded as anti-Trump under former head Jeff Zucker.

But CNN staff resisted Licht’s efforts to dial down the sensationalism.

Among his most notable moves were dismissing high-profile liberal personalities Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, and Jeffrey Toobin.

However, Licht lost staff support after the network aired an explosive Trump town hall in May 2023, sparking internal backlash. He was dismissed by Zaslav just weeks later.

Now, as CNN faces financial challenges and sinking ratings in November 2024, many of Licht’s decisions have been reversed.

Stelter returned as a media analyst, while Toobin and Lemon have reappeared as guests, and CNN’s anti-Trump stance is back in full force as of Election Day.

CNN’s current chief, Mark Thompson, has been tasked with stemming the network’s declining viewership and revenue.

Meanwhile, CNN employees are expressing “deep frustration” as looming budget cuts and layoffs are expected to hit the network soon, according to insiders speaking with Fox News Digital.

Details of secret phone call between Melania Trump and Jill Biden finally revealed

0

The former and current first lady had a lot to discuss. Now we’re seeing for the first time what was actually said.

As details of a secret phone call between Melania Trump and Jill Biden were finally revealed.

Melania Trump Questions Jill Biden’s Sincerity After Attempt on Donald Trump’s Life: Tensions Rise During Transition

In an interview with Paris Match just before the election, Melania Trump, the former and future first lady, disclosed that Jill Biden, the current first lady, reached out to her following the assassination attempt on President-elect Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. However, Trump expressed doubt about Biden’s sincerity in her gesture.

“I do question, however, whether Jill’s concern was genuine, as a few days prior she referred to my husband as ‘evil’ and a ‘liar,’” Melania told the French publication.

Melania continued, reflecting on the impact of inflammatory language in the public sphere.

“It was obvious that the onslaught of rhetoric from Democrat leaders and the mainstream media was so deeply embedded in our nation’s consciousness it prompted an attempt to assassinate Donald,” she said.

Following the assassination attempt, President Biden, 81, reached out to the former president, who narrowly survived a bullet that grazed his ear. Biden reportedly expressed relief over Trump’s safety, despite their bitter political rivalry.

Throughout Donald Trump’s third campaign for the White House, Melania, 54, largely stayed out of the spotlight. However, her public presence increased in the final months of the 2024 election cycle after the release of her tell-all memoir.

In early November, she appeared alongside her husband at a rally at Madison Square Garden just days before voters cast their ballots.

Despite tradition, Melania decided to skip the customary tea between outgoing and incoming first ladies during the transition. Instead, President Biden met with Donald Trump to discuss the handover of power, while Melania’s team released a statement expressing her support for the process.

“Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House. Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success,” read the statement.

According to what sources told the New York Post, Melania’s decision to forgo tea with Jill was influenced by the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago in 2022.

Melania also addressed speculation that she might not move back into the White House with her husband full-time come January, insisting her office would continue to challenge “false, misleading, and inaccurate information” spread by unnamed media sources.

In her Paris Match interview, Melania recalled her initial relief at Donald’s survival after the attack but condemned the toxic political climate that she believes fueled it.

“They want Donald out. They won’t stop. Has the concept of ‘respect’ become antiquated?” she questioned. “The Democrat political engine peddles harsh words, vile names, and labels our nation’s 45th president ‘a threat to democracy.’”

Joe Biden, who has openly labeled Trump a threat to democracy, joined in the characterizations. Meanwhile, Jill Biden, who previously described Donald Trump as a threat to women, sent Melania a congratulatory letter in lieu of tea, informing her that the transition team was prepared to assist with the handover.

On Wednesday, the Bidens welcomed Donald Trump back into the White House for the first time since his initial term concluded.

Incriminating Congressional investigation could bring down the Democrat Party

0

The Left has gone crazier by the day. But now their extremism is on full display.

Because an incriminating Congressional investigation could bring down the Democrat Party.

Last week, a House Oversight Committee subcommittee launched a probe into a nearly $10 million taxpayer-funded study by a gender industry researcher who appears to be withholding results because they don’t support puberty blockers as effective treatment for mental health issues related to gender dysphoria.

In a letter dated November 4, Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services Chair Rep. Lisa McClain, R-MI, asked NIH Director Monica Bertagnolli for documents tied to an ongoing project led by Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy. Olson-Kennedy directs the nation’s largest gender clinic for children and teens at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital.

CatholicVote reported that Olson-Kennedy revealed to the New York Times in October she was keeping her study results under wraps — results stemming from research that began in 2015 and received $9.7 million in taxpayer funding. Her concern, she explained, is that the unexpected findings could be “weaponized” in lawsuits, suggesting that puberty blockers may not be an effective treatment for children with gender dysphoria.

“We are alarmed that the project’s principal investigator, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, is withholding publication of the project’s research findings which cast doubt on the efficacy of the ‘gender affirming’ model, because she believes the findings could be ‘weaponized’ by critics of transgender medical interventions for children,” McClain wrote to Bertagnolli.

The letter also detailed one part of Olson-Kennedy’s research, the Trans Youth Care (TYC) study, which involved 95 children averaging 11-years-old, who were given puberty blockers while their mental health data was monitored over two years.

Now, Olson-Kennedy claims the study found no mental health improvements for these children following the hormone-blocking treatment.

“They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years,” she told the Times, though the report noted a contradiction with her “earlier description of the group, in which Dr. Olson-Kennedy and her colleagues noted that one quarter of the adolescents were depressed or suic*dal before treatment.”

McClain also pointed out in her letter that beyond gender dysphoria, “51 percent of the TYC cohort reported elevated depression symptoms and 57 percent reported clinically significant anxiety.

Two-thirds of the children reported suic*dal ideations and one-fourth of those with suic*dal ideations reported at least one past suic*de attempt.”

McClain went on to say:

“Dr. Olson-Kennedy’s apparent mischaracterization of the TYC study’s results and refusal to publish taxpayer-funded research because they contradict her pre-existing biases and could be cited by critics of ‘gender affirming’ medical interventions is an irrefutable example of politicization of scientific research to further an ideological agenda. Deliberately mischaracterizing and withholding the results of the TYC study has serious implications for the health and safety of children who are subjected to ‘gender affirming’ medical procedures, many of which are irreversible and hold lifelong implications despite lacking adequate scientific support for their efficacy or safety.”

According to the Times, Olson-Kennedy may have hoped her study would yield similar results to an older Dutch study that helped establish the “gender-affirming care” model in transgender medicine.

One source McClain referenced in her letter was “The Cass Review, Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People: Final Report.”

Led by British pediatrician Dr. Hilary Cass, this report concluded that the evidence supporting puberty blockers and cross-s*x hormones for gender-confused children is “remarkably weak,” relying on “poor quality” studies and “misinformation” while setting “expectations of care” that depart from typical clinical practices.

In 2018, Olson-Kennedy faced backlash after a video surfaced of her remarks at a Gender Spectrum Professional Symposium, where she advocated for double mastectomies on gender-confused girls as young as 13, based on her study published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Drawing conclusions from 136 surveys at her clinic, she and her team argued that “[c]hest dysphoria was high among presurgical transmasculine youth, and surgical intervention positively affected both minors and young adults.”

The video, which went viral, captured Olson-Kennedy downplaying concerns about young teens deciding on major surgery. She justified her stance by claiming:

“Adolescents actually have the capacity to make a reasoned, logical decision. And here’s the other thing about chest surgery. If you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them.”

Heads are starting to roll after Trump team announces who they’re firing

0

The Swamp survived the first term of President Trump. It doesn’t look like they’re prepared this time.

Because heads are starting to roll after the Trump team announces who they’re firing.

On Saturday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged the incoming Trump administration to “act fast” on sweeping reforms at the National Institutes of Health, proposing that up to 600 employees at the federal agency be replaced.

“We need to act fast, and we want to have those people in place on Jan. 20, so that on Jan. 21, 600 people are going to walk into offices at NIH and 600 people are going to leave,” Kennedy declared at the Genius Network Annual Event in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Democrat-turned-Trump supporter has consistently argued that federal health agencies are “captured” by the very pharmaceutical companies they are meant to regulate, equating the situation to “corruption” that endangers Americans’ health and safety.

Kennedy, 70, revealed that he’s currently raising $10 million to help secure key roles in the Department of Health and Human Services by the time Trump takes office, according to ABC News.

“We need to be able to respond very quickly and need to have a really, really good crack staff right now — we have the people, [but] we need to get them paid, we need to get them housing in Florida, so they can be right there when we walk into these transition meetings day after day,” he explained.

Kennedy also offered a look into Trump’s rapid-fire approach to choosing people for his administration.

“He comes into the meeting and he very quickly — you know, there are eight giant screens and each person has a picture of themselves on the screen, they have a biography next to them, you can press a button and see three different clips of that person … and he goes through them very, very quickly and he says, ‘I want that guy,’” said the former environmental lawyer.

Kennedy described Trump as someone who listens to input but makes firm and fast decisions, “And he decides very quickly. And the meetings are very quick when he comes in.”

Kennedy, along with his daughter-in-law Amaryllis Fox Kennedy and billionaire Elon Musk, has been in the room when Trump is making personnel decisions.

“These are all alpha people,” Kennedy noted.

“They’re, you know, they have very strong ideas about what should happen, but [Trump] makes the decisions.”

Kennedy is anticipated to have a significant health policy role in Trump’s administration, though not necessarily as HHS secretary.

Prior to the election, Trump’s White House transition co-chair Howard Lutnick dismissed the notion of Kennedy leading HHS.

“That’s not what he wants to do,” Lutnick remarked last month.

“He just wants data, and he wants to prove things [about vaccines] are wrong. And he says, ‘If I can’t prove they’re wrong, that’s fine. But if I can, I can save millions of Americans’ lives and make their lives better.’”

Kennedy’s team has been contacted for further comment.

Trump appointment puts Democrats on notice with one serious threat

0

The Left isn’t ready for the second Trump term. And it’s already starting.

And now one Trump appointment put Democrats on notice with one serious threat.

President-elect Donald Trump’s newly appointed “border czar,” Tom Homan, is sending a firm message to New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions: nothing will stand in the way of deporting criminal migrants.

“If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,” Homan told Fox & Friends on Monday. “Because we’re going to do the job with you or without you.”

Tasked with securing the border and executing the deportation of millions of migrants residing illegally in the U.S., Homan made it clear to the New York Post that he wants President Trump to ramp up pressure on New York City and other sanctuary cities that refuse to help in deporting criminal migrants.

“I’m hoping the president files a lawsuit against them and withholds federal funding,” Homan stated, aiming to push sanctuary cities toward cooperation.

Homan stressed that his preference is to work with local law enforcement to identify detained migrants and transfer them into ICE custody. But if local police are blocked from aiding federal agents, he warned, “then we’ll wait til they get out of jail, then we’ll go out into the neighborhoods and get them.”

“If they’re not willing to do it, then get out of the way — we’re coming,” he added.

Homan acknowledges that tackling immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities will require considerable manpower.

“So if I have to flood agents to the sanctuary cities to get the job done then that’s what we’re gonna do,” he said.

On Sunday, Trump officially appointed Homan, former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during his first administration, to replace Vice President Kamala Harris in the position — a post which has seen record illegal crossings under her oversight, with over 8 million migrants entering the country in the past four years.

“I’m going to be extremely successful because I’m following failure,” Homan asserted.

An ex-cop and former border agent from West Carthage, New York, Homan originally joined ICE under President Barack Obama in 2013. At the Republican National Convention in July, he boldly promised that if Trump won the election, he would “run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.”

“No one has better ideas for strong border security than him,” said former ICE Denver chief John Fabbricatore, calling Homan’s appointment “a step in the right direction” to turn the page on the previous administration’s chaotic border policies.

“Having had the privilege to work under Tom Homan, I can confidently say he is a ‘cop’s cop.’ His decades of immigration operational experience and no-nonsense approach are perfectly suited for the role of Border Czar,” he said. “Tom will enforce the law effectively and humanely. I’m confident that he’ll assemble a capable team to address the challenges at the border efficiently.”

Derek Maltz, a colleague of Homan’s at their nonprofit Border911, believes Homan will zero in on illegal immigrant “ghost criminals,” terrorists, and other violent offenders. “Tom understands this, plus he’s got very, very intelligent and experienced partners that he’s worked with on these issues of immigration. He’s the perfect guy.”

Recently, Homan has been vocal on news programs about the border crisis, calling it “the biggest national security vulnerability this nation has seen since 9/11” on Fox News’ Fox & Friends.

Homan’s first mission as border czar will be to visit the border itself, assess the “latest issues” agents face, and understand their operational challenges, he told The Post. He plans to meet directly with agents and leaders across major immigration enforcement agencies.

“I’m not coming in and making major changes on day one as far as the agencies are concerned, but they’re going to have a whole new prioritization.”

The border crisis has stretched resources thin, to the point that agents responsible for securing the border have been pulled off patrol to handle tasks like “making sandwiches, changing diapers and making baby formula,” Homan explained.

“When you take most border agents off the border during this humanitarian crisis, that’s when the fentanyl comes across that’s k*lled a quarter-million Americans. That’s when the s*x trafficking increased 600%. That’s when suspected terrorists cross into this country,” he emphasized.

This post-election video of Jill Biden and Kamala Harris is causing utter chaos

0

The first lady and the vice president aren’t on the best terms. But now we know just how troubled their relationship really is.

And this post-election video of Jill Biden and Kamala Harris is causing utter chaos.

In a poignant post-election appearance, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris came together Monday for the first time since Harris’s loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

The two participated in a solemn Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, honoring the sacrifices of military service members and their families.

After the wreath-laying ceremony, Harris sat next to First Lady Jill Biden and her husband Doug Emhoff while President Biden made remarks to pay tribute to America’s veterans.

Harris exchanged a quiet smile with her husband – just days after her defeat by Trump, 78, whom she had recently criticized as a “fascist” threatening American democracy.

But she and Jill Biden didn’t exchange many pleasantries. If anything, they both seemed to give each other the cold shoulder.

And can you blame Jill Biden for this reaction towards Harris? The vice president was picked to replace Jill’s husband Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee after leaders within the party were responsible for pressuring the president to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Many described the move as a coup.

As for his address, Biden seemed to allude to the shift in political power, encouraging unity in the wake of the Republican victories in both the White House and Congress.

“This is the moment to come together as a nation, to keep faith in each other,” he remarked.

“The world is dependent on each of you and all of us, all of you, to keep honoring the women and the men and the families who have borne the battles, to keep protecting everything they fought for, to keep striving to heal our nation’s wounds, to keep perfecting our union.”

The president is set to host Trump at the White House on Wednesday as part of the transition, though it remains unclear if he and Harris had any private discussions during the cemetery visit.

During her time at Arlington, Harris’s motorcade made a brief stop at Section 13, where she knelt at a grave. That area is known for housing the remains of many Civil War soldiers, though the purpose of her stop wasn’t immediately clarified by her office.

The vice president and president addressed the election outcome separately last week.

Harris, having lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College, delivered her concession speech on November 6 at Howard University, her alma mater.

Her remarks left some speculating that she may aim to lead the Democratic Party during its time out of power.

Biden followed with his own remarks the next day, addressing the nation from the Rose Garden, where he pledged a smooth transition of power.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid could lose her job after this Democrat turned on her

0

The Left is completely melting down. They may even split the party.

And now MSNBC’s Joy Reid could lose her job after this Democrat turned on her.

By all measures, the presidential race should’ve at least been close.

For weeks leading up to election night, we were treated to Democrat after Democrat saying that Kamala may even sweep it and take Iowa with her too.

Of course, we all know how the story goes. Trump blasted Kamala, winning the biggest victory for Republicans in decades.

And now as they flail to find the reason, they are turning on each other.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., came down hard on MSNBC host Joy Reid for her remarks targeting Latino men who backed President-elect Trump in last week’s election.

On Friday, Reid voiced frustration over various voting groups, including White women and men of all ages, who didn’t propel Vice President Kamala Harris to victory.

She then zeroed in on Latino men, highlighting that 55% of them cast their ballots for Trump, as per NBC News exit polls.

“Also, Latino men, who, despite the utter disrespect shown by Trump and his promise to deport some of your mixed-class, mixed-status families, most of them voted in a 55% majority to make the deportations happen,” Reid said.

“You all voted with Stephen Miller and David Duke and against your own sisters who chose Kamala Harris with 60% of their votes.”

“So you own everything that happens to your mixed-status families and to your wives, sisters, and abuelas from here on in,” Reid declared to Latino men.

Torres, the first openly gay Afro-Latino member of Congress, didn’t hold back in calling out Reid on social media.

“Stop scapegoating, shaming, and scolding working-class Latinos,” Torres told the liberal host Monday night on X.

“A patronizing paternalistic progressivism will not attract working-class Latino men back to the Democratic Party. It will repel them,” he cautioned.

Harris supporters within the Democratic Party and legacy media continue to struggle with Trump’s sweeping victory, where he captured all seven battleground states and increased support across various demographic groups, including minority voters.

And this issue is only going to be exacerbated as they desperately try to save face.

Kamala aide announces scary scheme to install Kamala in the White House

0

The Vice President is kicking and screaming that she didn’t win. Now her and her staff are trying for anything.

And a Kamala aide announced a scary scheme to install Kamala in the White House.

Jamal Simmons, former communications director for Kamala Harris, made waves on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday by suggesting that President Joe Biden should step down within the month, effectively making Harris the president before the new administration takes office in January.

Simmons, a longtime Democratic strategist with experience working for Bill Clinton’s and Al Gore’s campaigns as well as the Democratic National Committee, recently served as Harris’s communications director from January 2022 to January 2023.

During his appearance on CNN, Simmons offered praise for Biden, calling him a “phenomenal president,” yet pointed out, “there’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure.”

“He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris president of the United States.”

He added that this move would “absolve her from having to oversee the January 6 transition of her own defeat,” referencing the vice president’s ceremonial role in certifying the presidential election results on January 6.

In a notable parallel, then-Vice President Mike Pence famously broke with Trump and certified the 2020 election despite Trump’s claims of widespread fraud, which were ultimately unsubstantiated.

Following Biden’s withdrawal from the race in late July, Harris became the Democratic nominee, only to be defeated by Trump this week in a close election.

Trump secured both the popular vote and an Electoral College majority, ultimately taking 312 votes to Harris’s 226.

Simmons argued that Biden’s resignation would not only “dominate the news” but also “help Democrats learn drama and transparency and do things the public wants to see.” He added, “this is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.”

After the broadcast, Simmons doubled down on his stance on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the Democratic Party “must realize the old rules no longer apply,” and that “Americans respond to drama and excitement.”

According to Simmons, Biden’s resignation would “turn tables on Trump, keep Kamala from presiding over Jan 6, and make it easier for the next woman to run.”

The call for Biden’s resignation has gained traction on social media.

Allison Gill, a known Trump critic and former U.S. Department of Veterans employee, posted on X through her podcast Mueller, She Wrote, “Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47 and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag.”

Attorney Joe Gallina’s organization, Call to Activism, echoed the sentiment, suggesting, “President Biden should resign as an act of protest tomorrow so Kamala Harris could be sworn in as the first female president until January. That would make Trump 48 and ruin that stupid hat of his.”

With his recent election win, Trump is set to be the 47th president, following his first term as the 45th, putting him alongside Grover Cleveland as the only U.S. presidents to serve two nonconsecutive terms.

Not everyone agreed with Simmons’ idea. Symone D. Sanders Townsend, co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend, criticized the calls for Biden’s resignation, tweeting:

“To these people saying President Biden should resign so VP Harris could be POTUS for a few weeks. Do you hear yourselves? The Oval Office is not a d*mn game. Smh.”

Top Biden official betrays Kamala by exposing the truth behind her shocking loss

0

The Left can’t seem to grasp why people wouldn’t vote for them. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist.

And now a top Biden official betrayed Kamala by exposing the truth behind her shocking loss.

The last thing Democrats do is look in the mirror when they lose.

But the facts are unavoidable.

MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted that Democrats had miscalculated by over-relying on “never-Trump” Republicans, instead of focusing on reaching disillusioned Democrats, after the party lost both the White House and the Senate in Tuesday’s election.

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe Friday, the former White House Press Secretary broke down “all the things the party got wrong” in assessing voters and their priorities this election.

Psaki noted that Democrats made a “huge misread” on the importance of the abortion issue, as millions of Americans who care deeply about it ultimately sided with Trump.

She added that the party needs to face the reality that many traditional Democratic voters chose not to support Vice President Kamala Harris.

“There’s s*xism, there’s racism—that’s true,” Psaki said:

“but I also think there’s a real question, I hope people start looking at, about who people are listening to. In my view, there was an over-listening to, and an over-lifting up of people who left Trump, not people who left the Democratic Party.”

“The people who left the Democratic Party are the people who are going to win in the future. The people who left Trump, the Never-Trumpers, who have important voices—that’s not the winning coalition, and I think that’s a takeaway,” she continued.

Psaki suggested that Democrats may have alienated voters by repeatedly framing Trump as “a threat to democracy” in their closing message.

“The last thing I’ll say, because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, is the part of that piece, the who you’re listening to, is also this argument—you just touched on this, Mika—about fascism. Fascism and the threat to democracy is a huge issue in this country. It’s one that should be talked about. Journalists should talk about it. People should dig into it. It is not a good closing message to reach the masses of the country. People don’t relate to it. It’s not understandable, and I hope that is a lesson,” Psaki concluded.

In the wake of Harris’s loss, media figures and Democrats have engaged in finger-pointing, blaming everything from racism and s*xism to President Biden’s performance and supposed misinformation for why key Democratic voting blocs turned away or failed to support Harris.

According to Fox News Voter Analysis, President-elect Trump made significant inroads with Black, Hispanic, and young voters, while Harris fell short of Biden’s 2020 numbers.

Overall, young voters backed Harris by just 8 points, a significant drop from Biden’s 16-point margin in 2020.

She also underperformed with women and Black voters compared to Biden, winning women by only 8 points (compared to Biden’s 12-point lead) and securing 88% of Black voters, down from Biden’s 94%.
