By Sister Toldjah If "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski thought their Monday revelation that they visited Mar-a-Lago a week ago for a meeting with President-Elect Donald Trump was going to win them plaudits and backpats, they were sadly mistaken. As we  reported , the couple shared that they "were given the opportunity" to meet with Trump, who they have been publicly feuding with since mid-2016, after expressing "concerns" last Thursday about some of his cabinet picks and saying they would "appreciate the opportunity" to talk to him. Per Brzezinski, one thing they all allegedly agreed on was to "restart communications." Though all parties involved  seemed  okay with how the discussion went down, chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers had trouble coping with the news. The TDS contingent is so unhappy, in fact, that comments to their Twitter/X accounts reportedly had to be shut down for a time because the

By Cassandra MacDonald Dozens of Trump supporters in Erie, Pennsylvania, staged a protest at a city council meeting after the president compared MAGA hats to Ku Klux Klan hoods. The protesters wore their red hats to the meeting to demand the resignation of City Council President Jasmine Flores after she claimed that at least 90 percent of Trump supporters are “racist” in a Facebook  post . In her unhinged post, Flores wrote: About 90% if not more of you red hat followers need to be honest with yourselves and acknowledge that WHITEHOOD you all own or were raised to own because of your SICK family history. YOU ARE A RACIST and if your a person of color you need to stop hating yourself and find your roots because you are lost and your assimilation is showing and you are embarrassing the rest of us who have educated ourselves on the REAL AMERICANS HISTORY WITH ALL ITS BLOODSHED AND SLAUGHTER FOR BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE!! That redhat is the new whitehoods for the KKK and I want to be wro

By Streiff It didn't take long for the media to run a hit piece on Chris Wright, who President-elect Donald Trump nominated as his Secretary of Energy. Wright, the founder and CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, a fracking company, was nominated earlier this week; see  NEW: Trump Taps Fracking Exec As Next Energy Secretary . Today, Reuters is on the move with a story headlined:  Trump energy pick wrote ESG report hailing oil, gas, downplaying climate worry . President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the energy department believes fossil fuels are the key to ending world poverty which, he says, is a greater problem than climate change's "distant" threat, according to a report he penned as CEO of oilfield services company Liberty Energy. In a corporate report released in February called 'Bettering Human Lives,' Chris Wright said that the energy transition has not begun and that climate change, while a challenge, is not the greatest threat to humans. Po

By Streiff The campaign to put former Michigan Republican Mike Rogers at the helm of the FBI seems to have come to an end. Rogers, who narrowly lost his bid for a Senate seat, had been touted as the favorite on the strength of his experience as an FBI special agent and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee after  interviewing  for the job at Mar-a-Lago. Friday, Dan Scavino, a major figure in Trump's transition team and his deputy chief of staff in Trump 1.0, threw cold water on that speculation. Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening. — Dan Scavino Jr.🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) November 22, 2024 "Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI," wrote Scavino. "It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening." When the word broke that Mike Rogers was the leading conten

By John Daniel Davidson  The defeat of Matt Gaetz’s nomination for attorney general shows that this time, Trump really does have to drain the swamp. Matt Gaetz  withdrew his name from consideration  for attorney general on Thursday. It was an early setback for President-elect Donald Trump that confirms the greatest threat to his agenda isn’t Democrats, but establishment Republicans. Apparently there were  at least four GOP senators  staunchly opposed to confirming Gaetz as attorney general: Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and John Curtis of Utah. Assuming all Democrat senators voted against him, that would have put Gaetz one vote shy of confirmation. The corporate media, along with a cadre of Never Trump commentators on the right,  boasted  about the defeat of Gaetz’s nomination, citing widely discredited sexual allegations against him as evidence that he was unfit to lead the Justice Department. Never mind that those allegations have

By RedState Guest Editorial President-Elect Donald Trump’s new pick for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, is going to make America’s heroes healthy again. Just ask any veteran, they’ll tell you a horror story about the VA’s bloated bureaucracy and ingrained incompetence. Veterans wait months for appointments, going without needed treatment and medications, and endure the disgrace of national neglect for those who fought, bled and sacrificed for the freedoms of our nation. The Department of Defense’s failed policies keeps our military community mentally unhealthy.  Last week, the Department of Defense released its  latest Annual Report on Suicide in the Military , finding that active-duty military suicides rose 12 percent last year, despite a massive investment in prevention programs. In 2022, Congress mandated that it set up the Suicide Prevention Response and Independent Review Committee (SPRIRC) to provide 83 recommendations for the Pentagon to address military

By Teri Christoph It's been about two seconds since Donald Trump  announced  Pam Bondi as his pick to replace Matt Gaetz as nominee for Attorney General, and, right on cue, the leftists of MSNBC are in full meltdown mode. As RedState's Susie Moore  reported  Thursday evening, in making his announcement President-elect Trump said of the nomination: For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans - Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again. I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General! It's looking like Democrats are running scared at the idea of Pam Bondi at the helm of the Department of Justice, judging by a segment that aired Thursday on MSNBC. One guest, Jason Johnson, a political science professor at Morgan State University, said Bondi is both "compe

By Mike LaChance Just yesterday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Hollywood Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Rob Reiner  had finally broken his silence  about the outcome of the 2024 election on Twitter/X. We should have been looking at his Bluesky account, because it is much more interesting at the moment. Reiner claims that he has checked himself into a ‘facility’ to get some peace and relaxation. Take that to mean what you will. This is what he wrote on  Bluesky: “I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation. No phones, social media , no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.” From the  Daily Wire: In a series of posts on Wednesday on Bluesky, the 77-year-old director accused what he called “MAGA scum” of coming over to the platform and ruining it after he and other Hollywood stars announced they had left Elon Musk’s X for the platform after Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris, the Wrap reported. “This plat

By Jeff Charles There are certainly plenty of reasons to celebrate President-elect Donald Trump’s win on Election Day – especially if you happen to be a Republican voter. Preventing Vice President Kamala Harris from becoming the next president brought a sigh of relief to many Americans of all political stripes. After all, do we really want the White House bathtubs to be used for washing collard greens? But there is another benefit for all Americans: The sudden death of the January 6 th  hysteria. Let us hop into the Political DeLorean and head back to the aftermath of the riot at the United States Capitol building. Democrats and their close friends and allies in the establishment media wrung their hands in front of the cameras, while probably celebrating behind the scenes. After all, they had a brand new weapon to use against the Orange Man What Is Bad™ for years to come, did they not? And use it, they did. Following the riot and the fallout that ensued, Democra
