U.S. — In one of the most truly magnanimous gestures in all of human history, the Babylon Bee is officially offering to hire all the employees being laid off by Fake News rival CNN. "We're not here to gloat. We're here to help," said Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon. "Look, the Fake News industry is fiercely competitive, and CNN has incredible talent. We may be rivals, but at the end of the day, we're human beings -- human beings who love making up the news."

“When I first arrived at Princeton, I honestly didn’t know the fundamental differences between Republicans and Democrats,” Hegseth wrote in a September 2002 publisher’s note. “That being said, I was raised with a general appreciation for government, patriotism, and small-town values, but most importantly, my parents instilled in me a thorough understanding of right and wrong—and an unwavering faith in an almighty God. Needless to say, when I arrived at Princeton, my eyes were opened quickly and they’ve been wide open ever since.” TPM reviewed Hegseth’s youthful writings, including one year of columns for the Tory. They represent some of...

Democrats are on the record as vowing to obstruct Donald Trump’s second term. Just like they did his first one. This is election-interference. It is an in-your-face pledge to negate the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly voted for Trump. (Trump won in a near landslide, winning the Electoral College 312-226…and the popular vote by more than three million.) It is, in fact, an assault on our democracy. Which should be ironic to anyone who hasn’t yet seen today’s Democrats for what they are: power-hungry elitists who believe they know better than you do on how to run your...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) pleaded with fellow Republicans to back Donald Trump’s choice as attorney general, Matt Gaetz, after initially sounding skeptical about the bombshell pick. Appearing on Fox News’ Hannity on Wednesday, Graham said: “To every Republican, give Matt a chance.” His remark came amid a growing rebellion from GOP ranks over the surprise decision. Several Republican senators openly showed their disdain, saying it wasn’t a “serious” appointment. Graham told Sean Hannity: “I’m telling my Democratic friends, elections have consequences whether you like it or not. You are accusing Matt of doing the very thing that you did. Matt...

Sen. Rand Paul will take over the chairmanship of the upper chamber’s Homeland Security Committee starting in January after two years as the panel’s top Republican — and he’s told The Post he wants to uncover the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic. “I chose to chair this committee over another because I believe that, for the health of our republic, Congress must stand up once again for its constitutional role,” Paul (R-Ky.) said in an exclusive interview Wednesday. “This committee’s mission of oversight and investigations is critical to Congress reasserting itself.” “I think we’re on the cusp of, really, the...

In the Netherlands, a rising Islamic group, Full Force, masked as a fitness organization, uses physical training to recruit and indoctrinate young sharia-adherent fighters, prompting serious concerns about a covert ‘army’ committed to reshaping Western society under the banner of jihad.The Hague, Netherlands — A growing Islamic sports group in The Hague, calling itself “Full Force,” has sparked waves of concern across social media as its leader promotes messages of physical and spiritual strength, paired with rhetoric that is explicitly stated to be an “army” poised to “take over the world.” The group, led by social media influencer Enes Kürşat,...

The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media. This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the...

Donald Trump has picked fiery Florida congressman Matt Gaetz to be his attorney general - a man who was under investigation over sex trafficking just days ago. Democrats have described the MAGA loyalist as "a gonzo agent of chaos" and his appointment a "red alert moment for our democracy", while some Republican senators have also raised doubts about his suitability for the role. Despite the cloud over his character - Mr Gaetz denies all allegations - he has repeatedly shown his loyalty to the president-elect, attending his hush money trial in Manhattan and vociferously calling out prosecutors. The MAGA firebrand...

LOS ANGELES – Four people who allegedly had a person dressed as a bear damaging their own luxury cars in a bid to defraud insurance companies were arrested in the US state of California on Nov 13. Suspicions were aroused when a claim was made for ripped seats and damaged doors on a luxury Rolls-Royce Ghost, an exclusive vehicle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Claimants said a bear entered into the car when it was parked in Lake Arrowhead, a mountain spot outside Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on its interior. To back up their claim, they provided photos of...

DHS was supposed to protect us from foreign terrorist attacks. Instead it has become an instrument of censorship and propaganda... News broke Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump picked South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security, a key cabinet post for the incoming administration. Conservatives are unhappy about the possibility — and rightly so. Noem is a terrible choice for any post in the Trump administration. Trump won in part because he stood against the transgender agenda and pushed back against gender-confused boys competing in girls’ sports. Noem backed down from protecting girls in her state...

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said early Tuesday that his political action committee (PAC), America PAC, will continue working to support Republicans through the midterm elections and will be involved in primary contests. “Normally, PACs go somewhat dormant after a big election,” Musk wrote in a post on the social platform X, which he owns.

putting the nation first or submission to Trump. Gabbard is approved, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will have an ideological sympathizer holding the keys to the U.S. intelligence community crown jewels. This is not an exaggeration. The fact that Trump nominated Gabbard makes it clear that he is putting his distrust of the intelligence community before the critical interests of national security. Gabbard has served in uniform and deserves respect for doing so. Still, her views toward all of the United States's key adversaries make her plainly unsuited for this role. Put simply, Gabbard openly blames...

MAGA is on a roll. The Establishment is having a collective meltdown. And those who love America are loving it. From the first announcements, including Susie Wiles, the first ever female White House Chief of Staff – (oh the misogyny!) – to Tom Homan, President Trump’s bulldog of a Border Czar who has vowed to deport the millions of illegals Kamala Harris let into the country since 2021, this is not your regular gaggle of swamp creature bureaucrats. Then yesterday, on the one-week anniversary of President Trump’s historic double-mandate victory, a new fusillade of 100% America First appointments was fired...

A California school district was blasted for not firing the high school teacher who went viral for his profanity-laced, post-election rant against Donald Trump, calling the president-elect a rapist and comparing him to Hitler. The Moreno Valley Unified School District board meeting on Tuesday turned chaotic when multiple parents called for the firing of AP history educator Maximiliano Perez because of his mid-class meltdown on Nov. 6. Furious parents of all backgrounds took turns during Tuesday’s board meeting to call out Perez’s racist remarks and the school district that has yet to fire the problematic teacher. Perez, who also called...

If Kamala Harris' campaign was known for anything, it was its blockbuster fundraising. In just a matter of months, it crossed the $1 billion mark, in a stunning and record-breaking pace. Now, less than a week since the vice president conceded the contest, it not only has run out of money, it’s still asking for more. The campaign emails and texts, known for their ubiquity throughout the election, aren’t expected to stop anytime soon. The overarching challenge at this point for what is left of Harris' campaign is that the financial picture is shrouded in mystery — even for those...

President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to tap Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense has sent corporate media and the wider defense establishment into a tailspin, with critics taking aim at the veteran’s lack of policy-making experience. Yet, national security experts argue that Hegseth could bring much-needed change to a Pentagon that has lost its way. Trump announced Tuesday evening that Hegseth would be taking over the nation’s top defense role, touting him as “tough, smart and a true believer in America First.” Hegseth will face a series of challenges that started under the Biden-Harris administration’s tenure, including a recruiting and retention...
