One by one, world leaders rise to greet President Trump. This is what respect for our President and country looks like.

Tania Fernandes Anderson has only two options left if she wants to beat the rap. First, she could go down to the courthouse and change her last name to “Biden” – in which case, a pardon is guaranteed, automatic. Second, she could renounce her recent naturalization as a US citizen and declare herself to be an illegal alien again – in which case, not only is she immune from prosecution from any crime, but she will also be given police protection from the G-men by Gov. Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu. And she could also go back on welfare....

On Thursday's "American Agenda," Greg Kelly discussed his opposition to Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary nomination.

🚨Watch @WillCain go off in defense of @PeteHegseth against the military industrial complex and corporate media smear campaign that Republican Senators are buying into: “Any Republican Senator who wakes up this morning and is looking at Fox and Friends or a President who has a made a nomination probably needs to consider three options when it comes to why they wouldn’t support Pete Hegseth as their nominee. Number one, they choose to accept and align themselves on the side of anonymous reporters at NBC News, or the New Yorker, or the New York Times, and in my estimation put that...

Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth Read for yourself. You'll see the truth is on our side. ------------------------------------ Josh Christenson (Politics reporter @nypost) @jchristenson_ Scoop: The trustee of the veterans advocacy group where Pete Hegseth served as president denied in 2016 that the current defense secretary-designee was forced out of the position due to drinking and other misconduct, directly contradicting whistleblowers who spoke with the New Yorker:

Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday morning that President-elect Donald Trump has told him to “keep fighting” as he faces serious doubts about his ability to get confirmed as Defense secretary. “I spoke to the president elect this morning. He said, keep going, keep fighting,” Hegseth said. “Why would I back down? I’ve always been a fighter.”

The future U.S. President Donald Trump’s special representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has issued a direct response to Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev, who dismissed Trump’s proposed peace plan for Ukraine, suggesting President Vladimir Putin would “tell it to go to hell.” In an interview aired on Fox News, Kellogg was adamant in his rebuttal to Malofeyev’s remarks, stating, “Better get back in your box and better understand President Trump, because clearly you don’t and you clearly do not understand the United States of America.”

In a coordinated operation, Russian authorities conducted raids on three of Moscow’s largest and most popular nightclubs on Friday night, detaining hundreds of men and taking them to military conscription offices. The raids, which took place at the Simachev, Mutabor/ARMA, and Mono nightclubs, began around 2 a.m. and continued for several hours, sending shockwaves through the city’s nightlife scene. According to witnesses, dozens of police vehicles, including paddy wagons, lined up outside the nightclubs as enforcement personnel, accompanied by police K9 units, systematically entered the establishments. Clubgoers described the scene as chaotic, with people being escorted out in groups. The...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part two is located here.More than five decades ago, a mild-mannered passenger in a business suit boarded a Seattle-bound flight in Oregon under the name Dan Cooper on Nov. 24, 1971. He ordered a bourbon and soda, and once in the air, handed a stewardess a handwritten note demanding $200,000 in cash and four parachutes under the threat of what appeared to be a bomb in his ratty briefcase. The plane landed in Seattle, and authorities complied with the hijacker’s demand. After refueling, the airliner took off again. Somewhere between takeoff and...

Hi, Do window air conditioners draw more current when they get old? I had one in the bathroom. Toward the end of the summer, it was tripping the GFCI quite a bit. It had not done that in past summers. I got tired of resetting the GFCI. The air conditioner is heavy; I got around to taking it down just now. I've had a space heater in the bathroom plugged into the GFCI for a few weeks. It has not been tripping -- I'm thinking the space heater draws less current than the air conditioner even in the best of...

The charming, buttercup-yellow cottage where Truman lives in the movie is still owned by Gaetz’s parents in real life. They leaned into their movie-famous home. A photo of a sign on their white, picket-fence gate announces its connection to the movie, (helpful for ogling tourists) along with the family’s names, including Matt and his sibling, Erin: “The Truman House. Don & Vicky Gaetz. Matthew & Erin.” The Gaetz family purchased the seaside property in 1991 for $125,000. It was one of the first in the master-planned community. However, the classic cottage is now estimated to be worth $2.7 million, according...

When it comes to managing high cholesterol, small dietary changes can help. Eating enough vegetables not only helps reduce high cholesterol but can actually prevent the condition. While you may think that fresh veggies are healthiest, think again. Frozen veggies are just as nutritious. Plus, they tend to be budget-friendly and have a much longer shelf life. High cholesterol affects about 10% of U.S. adults. And having it puts you at a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke.1 We spoke with registered dietitians and dove into the latest research to share the seven best frozen vegetables for lower...

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 64-year-old guy. I am single and have two daughters and four grandkids. A young woman (“Sarah”), who is my daughter’s age, and I have been hiking buddies for the past five years. I treat her like my third daughter and a family member. Sarah is married, and her husband does not enjoy hiking. Her husband and my daughters accept our friendship and are happy that I found a person I can hike with.I have been dating a lady (“Toni”) who is close to my age. Six months ago, I suggested we should spend our lives together....

Every once in a while, you come across a clip that sends chills down your spine and perfectly sums up the fight we’re in. This is one of those videos. .....Here is Bill Barr, Trump’s own AG, last August praising Jack Smith and his pathetic partisan cases, while absolutely railing against Trump.

Recess Appointments. Funny how the chest-beaters are condemning recess appointments, a practice which has been going on throughout our history for a wide variety of reasons, as something uniquely Trumpian and a grave threat to liberty and separation of powers, and that’s before Trump has even been sworn in. Its liberal use by Bush 43 and Clinton largely escaped their attention not to mention overly emotional outbursts. Of course, there’s another constitutional issue the chest-beaters utterly ignore: what if the Senate, say a combination of a majority of Democrats and a small faction of Never-Trump Republicans, slow-walk the president’s nominees,...

President Donald J. Trump has won a commanding victory in the recent election--a clear MANDATE from the American People--and has earned the right to govern in a way that the People and our great Constitution demand. To the victor goes the spoils, as they say, and the spoils include putting together a super team that will help ensure that we Make America Great Again!

President Trump's dance is all the rage. We need to come up with a clever name for it.
