President-elect Joe Biden made another cabinet selection on Monday, announcing that Jake Sullivan will serve as his National Security Adviser. Sullivan worked for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and was an advisor for Biden during the Obama administration. The selection signals a Biden administration willing to negotiate with China, as Sullivan has, in the past, suggested America should be involved in their rise. During a lecture in 2017, Sullivan told students at Lowy Institute that “we need to strike a middle course – one that encourages China’s rise in a manner consistent with an open, fair, rules-based, regional order.”...

Just one year ago, a Newsweek reporter was fired after running a story that President Trump spent his Thanksgiving tweeting and golfing. In reality, he had made a trip to Afghanistan to spend time with the troops. “How is Trump spending Thanksgiving? Tweeting, golfing and more,” a headline from political journalist Jessica Kwong proclaimed. The story began, “As with any other day of the year, Trump will probably be tweeting, or expressing his opinions in another way.” The President actually made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan to greet US troops and meet the Afghani President Ashraf Ghani to discuss bringing...

"Morning Joe," hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, pulled in an average 1.6 million total viewers for the week versus 1.4 million for "Fox & Friends."

Eric Trump sounded the alarm on the Democrat National Convention and accused the left of blocking citizens’ ability to report voting irregularities. In a tweet shared Friday, the President’s son accused the DNC of attempting to hijack the Trump campaign’s “voter fraud hotline,” and said they may have something to hide. The @DNC is spamming our voter fraud hotline to bog down the thousands of complaints we are receiving! Wonder what they have to hide. — Eric Trump (@EricTrump) November 7, 2020 He added the spam calls were blocking thousands of complaints the Trump campaign has been receiving. This came...

A friend of mine got this via email yesterday. It reads as follows: "(Friend's Name) we are in possession of all your information (email, address, phone...everything). You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access to the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation Republican so we know you received our message and will comply. We know which candidate you voted for. I would take this seriously if I were you." Okay, a couple things...One, my friend who got...

New York City: Trump fans in front of Trump tower, showing of support for The President. Traffic stopped on Fifth Avenue.

Not bad for the worst team in the NFL. Panned, picked apart, ridiculed and accused of tanking for the top pick in next year’s NFL draft, the Jaguars made the only statement that mattered Sunday. They’re 1-0.

I just got a notification on my phone from Uber saying they support my right to protest and attached a guide from the ACLU informing me of my rights. Anybody else get this? I just uninstalled it!

Kyle Rittenhouse should not have been patrolling the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Tuesday night. Whatever failures might have existed on the part of state and local government (and there appear to have been many), the idea of a 17-year-old with a loaded rifle being dropped into that powder keg can only happen when some horribly bad judgment has occurred. I say this as a gun owner and Second Amendment supporter who took his son to the shooting range at that same age and taught him how to properly handle a firearm. However, two narratives about the situation are emerging, neither...

I don’t think they do. You know who they are, right? The fake news. (Applause.) No, I don’t know that they report it. That is an unbelievable — thousands and thousands of people lined up so far. (Applause.)And it was very important for me to come to North Carolina because we wanted to be here, but your governor didn’t allow it because he’s in a shutdown mode —AUDIENCE: Booo...

Brady Press Briefing Room 5:54 P.M. EDTTHE PRESIDENT:  Well, thank you very much.  Before I provide an update on our continued progress against the China virus, I’d like to discuss our latest actions against the Iranian regime.Today, I’m directing the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to notify the U.N.

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room1:18 P.M. EDTMS. MCENANY: Hello, everyone. Democrats in Congress failed to act in the best interests of Americans hardest hit by this pandemic. Amid inaction, President Trump stood up for every American who, through no fault of their own, needed relief.Politics as usual should find no place during this pandemic, but Democrats rejected multiple clean bills to provide relief. The American people are tired of games. They seek leadership, and President Trump delivered.This weekend, President Trump took executive action designed to provide the relief Democrats have denied to those who need it most. Through...

It was a — really led with France and President Macron, who is very close, as you know, to Lebanon. And we had it — a lot of things were worked out.We’re going to do a lot of help....

We had a single wide mobile home while stationed in Michigan on recruiting duty in the early 90's. The Army would pay to move it, so we thought it would be like having our own home (boy, were we mistaken!). We had it moved down to Fort Rucker, Alabama, our next duty station after my husband went to OCS and was commissioned after nine years of enlisted service. I had been needing to have a hysterectomy. I was scheduled to have the surgery while he was away for more training, so my brother came to stay with us and help...
