This year’s election should have dispelled any and every doubt as to America’s favored (even only) political movement: MAGA. The logic of this, which has been countervailed by legacy news outfits like CNN and the New York Times for years now, wanting the public to believe MAGA is “far right” or “fringe,” should have always been intuitive. Make America Great Again, put simply, is rooted in common sense. No quintessentially American movement would be anything but MAGA. This is because the movement has always represented a revival of American values; of the rule of law; of due process; of impartial...

……. The outreach appears to include venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, and former Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick. Antonio Gracias, a former Tesla director, and Steve Davis, president of the Boring Company, were named too. The latter two are affiliated with Musk’s many companies. And it seems that cohort is involved in the planning but, more specifically, is expected to work on technical challenges to collecting data on federal employees and programs. Andreessen is recruiting talent, according to the Washington Post. The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, is supposedly charged with...

The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired another ballistic missile at Israel on Sunday morning, in a gesture of defiance against President-elect Donald Trump and despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Sirens were activated across a wide swath of central Israel once the missile was detected: The Houthi rebels evidently claimed they had launched a “hypoersonic” missile, but given that hypersonic missiles are an advanced technology possessed by very few countries, and are almost impossible to intercept, that seems unlikely.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed his country will “invariably support” Russia’s war in Ukraine as he met Russia’s defense chief, the North’s state media reported Saturday. A Russia military delegation led by Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea on Friday, amid growing international concern about the two countries’ expanding cooperation after North Korea sent thousands of troops to Russia last month. The official Korean Central News Agency said that Kim and Belousov reached “a satisfactory consensus” on boosting strategic partnership and defending each country´s sovereignty, security interests and international justice in...

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Nov. 30. Richmond papers of Monday, the 28th, have been received here to-day. They preserve their accustomed reticence in regard to operations in Georgia, in execution of their avowed purpose of communicating no information whatever in regard to what is there going on. The tone of their editorials is, however, as boastful as usual. The following are the only items of interest which they contain: WHERE SHERMAN IS NOT. We do not intend to inform the Yankee newspapers where SHERMAN now is; but we feel no hesitation in assuring them that he...

Jerrell Thomas, described by police investigators as a “habitual criminal,” is under arrest and charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Oak Park police detective Allan Reddins. Breitbart News reported Reddins responded to a call Friday morning about a man leaving a bank with a gun and, upon arriving on scene, was shot around 9:30 a.m. Reddins died shortly thereafter and was the first Oak Park Police Department officer killed in the line of duty since 1938.

On Saturday’s “CNN Newsroom,” CNN Senior Law Enforcement Analyst former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the nomination of Kash Patel to be the director of the FBI is “a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI.” McCabe said, “[I]t’s a terrible development for the men and women of the FBI, and also for the nation that depends on a highly-functioning, professional, independent FBI. The fact that Kash Patel is profoundly unqualified for this job is not even like a matter for debate. …...

“A failure on this scale isn’t just bad luck, it isn’t a global trend or taking your eye off the ball – no, this is a different order of failure,” the prime minister continued. “This happened by design, not accident. Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalize immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one-nation experiment in open borders.” Following Brexit, net migration reached a previous peak of 764,000 in 2022. In 2015, before the referendum passed, net migration totaled to no more than 333,000. The latest immigration numbers are higher than previously thought.

Denver's far-left mayor has walked back his threat to use his city's police department to stop federal immigration law enforcement. As RedState previously reported, Mayor Mike Johnston told a local news outlet that there would be a "Tiananmen Square" moment if the incoming Trump administration moved into the city to deport illegal immigrants. He even went so far as to say he'd use Denver PD to set up checkpoints at "the county line," something I'm sure not too many officers were keen on being a part of. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them...

In 2020, I began asking questions I was not supposed to ask and noticing things I wasn’t supposed to notice. I was an establishment liberal, a “good soldier” for the Left. Right about now, I’d be that person on X with the Ukraine flag, the mask, the vax, and the pronouns in my bio. But my problem is that I am an internet person. I got online in 1994 and never left. I have been running my own website since 1999. I remember when the internet was free and its objectives when it began. I also remember how things were...

“We must reclaim many more historic lands, restore historical equity... Finland, the Baltic States, everything's ours. Let's take Alaska too”. These are phrases thrown around by propagandist polemicists, but which we should nevertheless pay attention to. Russia 1 is considered the official voice of the Kremlin and its master. For her part, a few weeks ago Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry's Director and Spokeswoman for Information and Press, didn't hesitate to comment on the provocative statements made by Russia 1's propagandists: “So you haven't played Risk? People at Russia 1 certainly have, and they're keeping up the good humor...

President-elect Trump ran much of his campaign based on retribution and absolute loyalty. As he prepares for a second term in office, what might that mean for the future of U.S. democracy? Laura Barrón-López discussed more with Jason Stanley, a Yale philosophy professor and author of “Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future.” William Brangham: President-elect Donald Trump ran a lot of his campaign promising retribution for his enemies and asking absolute loyalty from his supporters. Now, as he prepares for a second term in office, Laura Barron-Lopez has a look at what that might mean...

In a rather stern warning to the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—President-elect Donald Trump has threatened 100% tariffs on their exports to the United States if they pursue efforts to replace the U.S. dollar in global trade. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Trump said that any attempt by BRICS to create a new currency or support alternatives to the dollar would lead to severe consequences. “The idea that the BRICS countries are trying to move away from the dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER,” Trump wrote. Trump’s warning comes on the heels...

The recently discovered shipwreck may have set sail as part of da Gama's final Indian Ocean voyage—a journey which he made a total of four times before his death 500 years ago. Researchers believe it may have been one of around 20 ships part of this excursion: the São Jorge, which was captained by Fernando de Monroy and sank in 1524, making it one of the earliest European shipwrecks in the Indian Ocean. Eight similar Portuguese shipwrecks of similar age have previously been discovered in the area.The discovery of the Portuguese shipwreck was made in Malindi, Kenya, in 2013 by...

Lame duck President Joe Biden concluded a five-day vacation break in Nantucket on Saturday night by returning to Washington, DC, before leaving for Angola within a matter of hours. Biden, who will stay in capital city Luanda from Monday to Wednesday, will be the first U.S. president to visit the oil-rich country since it won independence from Portugal in 1975. The trip comes 49 days before he hands the levers of power to Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign failed because her dismissive attitude toward religion alienated voters in a nation where faith still plays a crucial role in public life. Many pundits have compared Kamala Harris’s losing effort in 2024 to the 1988 Michael Dukakis campaign. In some respects, this is unfair: Michael Dukakis, who turned 91 on November 3, is a self-made man in public life, an Army veteran who served his country at the bleak post of 1950s Korea. As a three-term governor of Massachusetts, the longest serving in the history of the Commonwealth, Dukakis was a creative and thorough executor of...

College football was a combat sport on rivalry Saturday. Rivalry week matchups are always heated with tensions and resentments building. But four annual clashes ended with fights between opponents when the winning road team attempted to plant a flag on the home field of their adversary to punctuate a victory. Each scuffle was notable for different reasons. But they were all provoked by similar sentiments. The victors wanted to make a statement, while the defeated wanted to protect their home turf and prevent further indignity.

Abandon food production to globalist profiteers, and all is lost. No MAHA, no MAGA. The transition of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. from Democrat to independent to (gasp!) Republican was a popcorn-grabbing sideshow of the 2024 election season — until it became the main event. The defection of Bobby Kennedy to Team Trump was a seismic shift in an already bizarre presidential election, but it also formed a more perfect union — between MAGA and MAHA (Make America Healthy Again). And if President-Elect Donald Trump fails to deliver on his MAHA commitments, MAGA will collapse in the broken bargain. MAHA was...

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem (12/1/24)[Prayer]Names and Titles of God the Holy Spirit (Spirit of Faith) Acts 11:24-2624 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. 25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
