2024 marked the comeback of figures once dismissed, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump reclaiming dominance and Devin Nunes solidifying his role as a stalwart in intelligence oversight.
2024 proved to be the year of the reemergence of many once and unfairly pilloried public figures.
Elon Musk weathered nonstop attacks on his X social media platform. Furor escalated over his newfound 2024 Trump advocacy—even as he ended 2024 with his iconic Tesla brand still the best-selling car in six states and the most popular electric vehicle in the entire nation.
Tesla’s rising stock prices ensured by year’s end that Musk was by far the richest man in the world with a net worth of well over $400 billion. His recyclable SpaceX Super Heavy starship rocket booster mesmerized the nation as it returned to the launch pad to be caught by a huge mechanical arm.
After January 6, 2021, the media swore that Donald Trump was supposedly washed up. He left office with a 34 percent approval rating. Over nearly the next four years, Trump would face 91 felony indictments and be liable for over $400 million in assorted fines.
Now he is a reelected president. Former oppositional world leaders traipse to Mar-a-Lago to seek his approval even before his tenure begins. His erstwhile critics at home are scurrying about in disarray.
The Trump-hating media who swore Joe Biden was “sharp as a tack” and “fit as a fiddle” are mostly discredited and are, for now, still bleeding audiences. And Trump’s chief political adversaries, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the Obamas are increasingly either unpopular or irrelevant—or both.
Yet one unremarked-upon return is that of former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who, after 20 years of representing Central California in Congress, ...

Nunes has regained public attention over the last two weeks after Trump appointed him to become chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, which oversees the conduct and performance of America’s intelligence agencies.
And once more he too is the target of tired residual left-wing venom, as a “pugnacious Trump loyalist” in the words of the New York Times.
Nunes himself was written off as a California dairy farmer way over his head, with legacy media headlines blaring, “Trump-Russia Investigation: A Former Dairy Farmer, Rep. Devin Nunes Leads Historic Probe!”
I did not know that Nunes is in Trump's new government. More dairy farmers!

Thank you!
The justice of the American people grinds very slowly, but exceedingly fine...
Most of us remember that as Nunes was releasing his memos and reports, alternative media WAS paying attention and so were we.
The dinosaur media continued to fail in its duty to inform and continued to think that ALL Americans were as uninformed and lazy as their democrat voters.
Selling your soul never works out well.
Maybe he could be Speaker.
” oversees the conduct and performance of America’s intelligence agencies.”
More government duplication?
Isn’t that what he nominated Tulsi for? Who oversees who?
Nunes is the real thing, who quietly goes about his business without taking any guff. He is a testament to the conservative base in California, which gets treated like crap by many FReepers lumping us in with the rest of the loons in this State.
I hope he gains a megaphone because he should be heard. The way he was treated by Schiff was nothing short of vile and he withstood it all. Schiff belongs in oblivion for his deliberately misleading claims before the people, but in a way, I hope he becomes a Slave Party spokesmouth, as he represents them archetypally to eventually become a laughing stock and take that Party with him.
Thanks for posting. VDH names the EVIL individuals and some of their dirty deeds. What can be done to them as many still attempt to ruin/eliminate good individuals?
“”I did not know that Nunes is in Trump’s new government. More dairy farmers!””
Two of my favorite people - Nunes and Hanson...from my favorite state!!!
If you used a gmail account to register on Parler, Gab, or Truth Social, Google would make sure you didn't get the confirmation email so you weren't officially registered and the user ID was taken. I experienced this on all three platforms and to this day, I don't have a working account.
Why in the hell was Johnson the backstabbing RINO given an endorsement? You know he’s going to stab us over and over again. I love Trump I support him 100% and I am so excited about January 20th but I feel our nation will never get back Its greatness because we still have an evil DC swamp who will never ever let go of power. The DC demons will never let the American people prosper and live in peace. We will always be working our asses off to pay for the trillions of dollars hole that the DC evil creatures have dug for the American people. They don’t care they don’t give a shit and they’ll never care as long as they can hold unto power and keep the peasants under its clutches! No matter who is in both houses those bastards will make Trump‘s Presidential term a living nightmare ….bet on it! Oh and please stop pretending Johnson is a Christian. The Lord said you can judge them by the fruit they bear and he bears nothing but rotten backstabbing fruit!
“Such unapologetic election interference by our best and brightest—including former CIA Directors Leon Panetta and John Brennan—may well have played a role in the outcome of the 2020 election.”
True enough, if the election had not been stolen by other means.
“”Years later today, Schiff’s prior insistence on a real Trump-Russian collusion effort in 2016 and his persistence that the Steele dossier was factual remain even more laughable. A farmer might editorialize that its takes far more savvy and resilience to run a dairy farm than it does to graduate from Harvard.””
Love this - well said. Schiff is never going to have to face his lies - “I have evidence.”
Not as much evidence Schiff, than we have that you are a liar!!!
Thanks for the insight.
“Oh and please stop pretending Johnson is a Christian.”
Definitely. He’s a con man who hates America.
That goes for Carter, too. Every pundit is saying that he was a Christian.
Actual Christians don’t despise Israel, and he sure did. Plus abortion, homosexuality ...
Tulsi will be nominated for DNI, Director of National Intelligence. That is a Senate confirmed government job. Devin will serve on an advisory board to Trump. No confirmation or congressional oversight needed.
