The National Football League, which has been derisively nicknamed the “No Fun League” by critics, issued a surprising edict about football players celebrating touchdowns with the “Trump dance.”

NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy told Front Office Sports that the league had “no issue” with the “Donald Dance.” Fox News Digital confirmed the statement with the league.

“It’s up to the networks to cover them as they see fit,” he added, referring to television coverage.

Many believed the NFL would ban the dance after it fined San Francisco 49ers player Nick Bosa $11,255 for wearing a pro-Trump cap while crashing an on-air interview after a Sunday Night Football game in October. Bosa appeared to violate the league’s rules against displaying personal messages or political messages on game day.

However, the NFL rules only prohibit excessive celebrations and those which include sexually suggestive actions or those suggesting violent actions.

Since President-elect Donald Trump’s astounding victory in the presidential election, other players have jumped on the Trump train by employing the popular Donald Dance.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers danced it after scoring a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins, though his team later lost 34 to 19. The team posted a clip of the dance to its social media account where it garnered 415k views.

Members of the U.S. Men’s National Team did the Donald Dance during a CONCACAF Nations League match against Jamaica. They went on to win 4-2 in St. Louis, Missouri.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones also did the dance after thanking Trump at UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden.

Something extraordinary happened in the 2024 election. Conservatives, independents, and even former Democrats rose up and delivered a historic rebuke to the far left. The electoral map didn’t show a mere victory for Donald Trump — it was a political bloodbath. Moreover, for the first time in decades, Republicans are poised to take control of nearly every level of government.

This election was an unmistakable message from voters: America is sick, and we demand a cure.

Institutions meant to safeguard our liberties have become vectors for corruption, collusion, and control.

But before we can tackle the disease, we must diagnose it. What, exactly, is the mandate voters handed to Trump and the GOP? What is the problem that we demand they fix?

The answer is as clear as it is uncomfortable: The United States as we knew it no longer exists. Our freedoms — our sovereignty — have been systematically eroded by forces intent on transforming America into something unrecognizable.

Two of Donald Trump’s first promises as president-elect spoke directly to this. He vowed to eliminate the deep state and end censorship. The fact that these issues even need to be addressed shows how far we’ve strayed.

These proposed changes from the Trump administration are promising, but Trump cannot do this alone. The corruption afflicting this country is systemic. It’s a cancer that has spread through every organ of the body politic, from unelected bureaucrats in Washington to powerful corporations and media conglomerates. This rot has metastasized, just as it did in Europe under Fabian socialism and cultural Marxism. It must be excised.

But how did we get here? The left didn’t stumble into control of our institutions by accident. Its dominance over the media, universities, and culture was the result of a decades-long operation to manufacture consent.

The strategy is laid out plainly in a book by leftist thinker Noam Chomsky: “Manufacturing Consent.” Chomsky wasn’t wrong in his analysis — he was just dead wrong in his prescription. Over the decades, the left co-opted his blueprint to manipulate public opinion, consolidate power, and push its progressive agenda.

The proof is in the state of America today. Look at how the media has been consolidated. In the 1980s, 90% of American media was controlled by over 50 companies. Today, six massive conglomerates control the vast majority of what we read, watch, and hear.

They control the flow of information, shaping narratives to keep the public in the dark. They decide what is “normal” and what is “fringe.” They’ve convinced generations of Americans to accept obvious falsehoods as truth.

This media-industrial complex works hand in glove with the government and elite institutions. It has labeled anyone who questions its authority as a “conspiracy theorist” or “extremist,” all while cozying up to Big Tech and using censorship as a tool to silence dissent.

Donald Trump has promised to sign an executive order on day one banning federal agencies from colluding to censor Americans. He plans to fire bureaucrats who’ve participated in these unconstitutional practices and roll back the protections that allow tech giants to act as unaccountable gatekeepers.

But this is only the beginning.

The cancer runs deeper than just Big Tech or biased news outlets. It extends to the very systems meant to serve and protect us. Government agencies like HHS, NIH, and FDA now prioritize profits for Big Pharma and Big Food over the health of Americans. The military-industrial complex wages endless wars without congressional approval — in our name but without our consent. Institutions meant to safeguard our liberties have become vectors for corruption, collusion, and control.

Every organ of our national body has been infected. And the first step in curing this disease is restoring the free flow of information — our eyes and ears.

Without independent media, without honest debate, the cancer will keep coming back. That’s why I call on this incoming administration to prioritize breaking up media monopolies, ending corporate-government partnerships, and empowering alternative platforms.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. We must act now or risk losing the republic altogether. The American people have made their mandate clear: We demand accountability, transparency, and freedom.

It’s time to clean house.

Like the United States under the Biden regime, Europe has opened its borders, allowing floods of anti-Semitic jihadists to infiltrate the cities and terrorize its Jewish civilians.

Mark Levin calls this mass migration “the second Muslim crusades.” However, he clarifies that he’s referring to “the jihadis, not normal migration,” which he wholeheartedly supports.

As a result of the open-border policies, some of the smaller European countries have lost control of the anti-Semitic migrants due to the sheer number of them. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in an uptick in riots and attacks on Jewish people.

Never has this been more evident than when riled up pro-Palestine protesters attacked Jewish soccer fans in Amsterdam earlier this month. The skirmish ended with five people hospitalized and dozens arrested by Dutch authorities.

Authorities reported that “it’s not clear who started the violence,” but Levin says that that’s rubbish.

“It’s not clear who started it? There’s an entire report on it, and the entire report says this was organized weeks before that soccer game,” he says, adding that “this is the game” Europe’s Palestinians play.

Their claims that they “were provoked” tend to form the mainstream narrative, but Levin knows the truth: “They’re not provoked — not to stab people, not to brutalize people, beat them while they’re on the ground, not to throw them in rivers.”

This “hunting down Jews who go to a soccer game” was “planned a long time ago,” he reiterates.

One person in Europe, however, is thankfully speaking the truth. His name is Bruno Retailleau, and he’s the minister of the Interior of France.

On November 12 during a session of questions to the government at the National Assembly, Retailleau delivered a speech about Europe’s rampant anti-Semitism — a speech Levin calls “fantastic.”

To hear it, watch the clip above.

MSNBC’s audience has “dropped by half in the last ten days,” and now it’s probably going to drop even more when viewers learn what two of the network’s top hosts did last week.

Joe Scarborough of “Morning Joe” and his co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, traveled to Mar-a-Lago for a “personal sit-down with the president-elect” — the man they’ve been calling Hitler for years.

What could possibly inspire such a strange meeting?

Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere discuss the possibilities.

According to Scarborough and Brzezinski, they met with Trump in an effort to “restart communications.”

“We have been as clear as we know how in expressing our deep concerns about President Trump’s actions and words in the coarsening of the public debate,” Brzezinski said on yesterday’s show. “But for nearly 80 million Americans, election denialism, public trials, and January 6 were not as important as the issues that moved them to send Donald Trump back to the White House with their vote.”

“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different,” she added.

“Something different” apparently meant consorting with the fascist enemy who they’ve sworn repeatedly will destroy this country.

Stu proposes an idea: Perhaps they’ve realized the only “rational human thing to do” is to acknowledge that despite pushing the “Donald Trump is a fascist” narrative, the majority of Americans still “voted for him.” Maybe the meeting was their effort to “try and understand” the other side.

Glenn isn’t as optimistic.

They’re “just desperate to hold on,” he says, pointing out that MSNBC is currently up for sale. They’re just “desperate to not lose [their] gig.”

“But why would that help you?” asks Stu.

“There’s only two options here: One is the host you love is meeting with Hitler. The other option is they’ve been lying to you the entire time. Why would you ever watch that show again in either circumstance?” he wonders.

“It will [hurt viewership],” Glenn agrees, “but you are trying to inject logic into this.”

“Is it possible they actually really do believe their rhetoric this whole time, and they think Trump is actually going to pull them off the air and so they’re trying to get on his good side to prevent that?” Stu then asks.

“No,” says Glenn. “We honestly thought if we lost, our time would be marked,” but “I never would have gone, ‘You know, I need to see Kamala.”’

“But you’re not a horrible human being, so you’re not understanding their situation exactly,” says Stu.

Left-wing activist Al Sharpton issued a sharp rebuke of President-elect Donald Trump over his Cabinet and administration nominations and demanded he “deliver” for black America.

Sharpton issued a statement Tuesday after Trump made several nominations to his Cabinet and other administration positions.

‘The president-elect needs to put his money where his mouth is if he actually wants to deliver for Black America.’

“In the two weeks since Donald Trump was elected to a second term, he has put forth a dozen troubling nominees, yet the most alarming factor in his proposed cabinet is that not a single candidate is Black,” wrote Sharpton.

He went on to point out the Trump campaign focused on garnering the vote of blacks, especially males, in the presidential election. He also criticized the controversial nomination of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) as U.S. attorney general.

“Trump spent this campaign selling himself to Black voters, especially men, by peddling sneakers and implying his criminal convictions would resonate with our community. Instead of meeting the demands of more Black voters who supported him, Donald Trump has proposed an Attorney General nominee wrapped up in an ethics probe over trafficking allegations and a Health Secretary whose views on vaccines and other safeguards could devastate our community.”

Sharpton then mocked Trump for comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln.

“Right now, it appears that the self-proclaimed ‘best president for Black America since Abraham Lincoln’ has lost interest in us,” he concluded. “The president-elect needs to put his money where his mouth is if he actually wants to deliver for Black America.”

Some Republican members of Congress have publicly opined that Gaetz has zero chance of being approved for attorney general, but others are convinced the nomination is pivotal for the success of the incoming Trump administration.

Sharpton has faced criticism after the Harris-Walz campaign divulged in finance records that it had given his nonprofit organization half a million dollars prior to a softball interview between Harris and the activist. Sharpton was paid $650,00 by the nonprofit in 2021.

Donald Trump’s presidential victory earlier this month has thrown the trajectory of his legal challenges into question.

On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) asked for the New York criminal case against Trump to be put on hold during his presidency.

‘A total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American people.’

While Trump’s legal team sought to dismiss the case outright, Bragg opted instead to freeze it. Bragg’s move may suggest that he hopes to revisit the case after Trump is no longer in office.

Prosecutors from Bragg’s office wrote to Judge Juan Merchan, “The people deeply respect the office of the president, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that defendant’s inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions.”

“We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system,” prosecutors added.

Trump, who was found guilty on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records, was slated to face sentencing on November 26. With Merchan’s approval of Bragg’s freeze request, that date will be pushed back indefinitely.

Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, celebrated the pause and called it “a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American people.”

He told the New York Times, “The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump’s legal team is moving to get it dismissed once and for all.”

The other state-level case lodged against Trump — this one in Georgia — also appears to be on hold.

On Monday evening, the state appeals court abruptly canceled a December 5 pretrial hearing to determine whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the case after it was discovered she was having an affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since stepped down.

The court did not provide a reason for the decision but noted that the hearing was tossed “until further order of this court.”

Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who brought the motion to recuse Willis, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the unexpected cancellation is “not something you normally see.”

“They could reschedule it,” Merchant said. “It could mean they don’t need to hear oral arguments and can decide it on the merits.”

Townhall columnist Phil Holloway concurred with Merchant’s assessment, predicting that the court “might” be prepared to rule without hearing oral arguments.

“If so, that likely means bad news for Willis,” Holloway stated.

The two federal cases against Trump, led by special counsel Jack Smith, also seem to be nearing their conclusions. Sources told the Times that Smith intends to wrap up his involvement with the cases and step down before Trump’s inauguration, Blaze News previously reported.

For the Washington, D.C., federal case alleging that Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Smith has requested the cancellation of all related deadlines.

In the Florida case in which Trump was charged with improperly handling classified documents, Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida had already dismissed the charges. While Smith initially sought to appeal the dismissal, he moved to put that appeal on hold last week.

The Department of Justice has a long-standing policy not to prosecute a sitting president, claiming that it “would impermissibly undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions,” according to its website.

Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York blamed a Jewish lobbying group for the Democratic Party’s woes in the election and got nailed with online backlash.

Ocasio-Cortez posted the missive on social media in an attempt to steer the liberal in-fighting against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.

‘Scapegoating the Jews for one’s failure is unreflective and a truly pathetic and ugly tactic.’

“If people want to talk about members of Congress being overly influenced by a special interest group pushing a wildly unpopular agenda that pushes voters away from Democrats then they should be discussing AIPAC,” said Ocasio-Cortez in response to a senior adviser to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

The congresswoman was immediately assailed by those who perceived the criticism as motivated by anti-Semitism.

“Unsurprising, but still deeply concerning to see AOC react to the election by blaming @AIPAC for ‘overly influencing’ Congress and falsely claiming that supporting Israel is ‘wildly unpopular.’ Scapegoating the Jews for one’s failure is unreflective and a truly pathetic and ugly tactic,” responded Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League.

“Many lessons should be learned from the results of the 2024 election. If the only lesson learned by @AOC is to blame the Jews and Israel, then she deserves to be called out for trafficking in Antisemitism,” replied Newsweek contributor Joel Petlin.

“There is a critical conversation to be had about AIPAC. But so singularly focusing on them here – when there are a number of special interest groups that operate the same way – plays into dangerous tropes,” said Amy Spitalnick of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.

Ocasio-Cortez has been accused of anti-Semitism before, but she has also been excoriated by the far left for not being sufficiently anti-Israel. In October, the Democratic Socialists of America, the congresswoman’s party, said it was going to take a vote to censure her for daring to approve of bills in Congress affirming Israel’s right to exist.

Jen Psaki scolded Democrats who were shrinking away from pushing the transgender agenda after their party’s astounding losses in the election and said one trans issue wasn’t even “worthy of a debate.”

The former White House press secretary made the comments in a monologue on her MSNBC show.

‘If that were actually an issue with thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate.’

“There’s obviously a lot of soul-searching going on right now in the Democratic Party, and that’s a good thing. But what I worry about is that in the course of all that soul-searching, some Democrats might reach the wrong sweeping conclusions,” said Psaki. “And there are a lot of issues that fall into that bucket, but one in particular that stuck out to me is transgender rights.”

She went on to make a case that Republicans misled voters to believe that the transgender movement has affected far more Americans than it has in reality. She used the example of Vice President Kamala Harris supporting taxpayer-funded transition surgery for prisoners and detainees that was used as a cudgel by Republicans in ads.

“If that sounds like a particularly obscure issue, it is, because it applies to a tiny group of people,” Psaki said.

She then criticized fellow Democrat Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, who openly defied the transgender agenda and said it was fair for parents to worry about opening up girls’ bathrooms to biological males.

“Look, reflection is good,” Psaki continued, “but if that were actually an issue with thousands of schools across the country, it would be worthy of a debate. But there are just incredibly few samples of transgender girls playing in youth sports.”

She added that people’s concerns about transgender threats are “misguided” and “misinformed.”

Moulton has said that the backlash he received proved his point that the transgender issue cannot even be debated among Democrats.

A short video of Psaki’s comments went viral on social media, but the entire segment can be viewed on the MSNBC YouTube page.

Thanksgiving is almost here, and Americans across the country are getting ready to break bread, sip wine, and bask in their gratitude for their loved ones. But not all Americans are preparing to share the love.

Instead, some are forgoing Thanksgiving festivities altogether based on who their loved ones voted for — and celebrities like Sunny Hostin of “The View” are cheering them on.

“I would never let politics be the reason I don’t show up to see my family because they won’t always be there,” Sara Haines said in a heated debate with Hostin on the liberal show.

“I’m going to disagree,” Hostin replied. “I really do feel that this candidate, President-elect Trump, is just a different type of candidate. From the things he’s said and the things he’s done, and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me.”

“I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people,” she continued. “So I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it’s okay to take a beat.”

Whoopi Goldberg then jumped in with her infinite wisdom to agree with Hostin, explaining that “somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn’t be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question.”

“I don’t want to put my kid in that position. I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all that out,” Goldberg added.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” isn’t surprised they took this route but does wholeheartedly disagree.

“Thanksgiving is coming, and that’s when we here in America sit down with friends and family, and we eat and we drink and we celebrate freedom, and we take a moment to be thankful for all of the goodness that this great country has afforded us in almost 250 years of existence,” Rubin says.

“Unless you’re someone on ‘The View,’ in which case you shouldn’t invite people you like and you should probably ruin the day for everybody,” he adds.

About a week before Election Day on November 5, my wife and I participated in early voting. After filling out our ballots and placing them into the machine, I noticed the name on the side of the box belonged to a company that had sparked concerns during previous elections.

I turned to the attendant and asked, “Did our ballots get processed properly?” She laughed and replied, “Yes, everything is good. But if you’re worried, you can always come back tomorrow and vote again.” I shook my head and said, “No, we can’t. We’re Republicans.”

Remember that the deep state remains entrenched, so men and women of good will still need to keep up the fight through Inauguration Day.

A week later, we learned that everything had indeed worked as it should. While New York State, where we voted, predictably turned blue, Donald J. Trump secured an impressive number of electoral votes and won the popular vote by a healthy margin.

To borrow the title of an old gospel song: “Oh, Happy Day!”

However …

Many of us on the right have friends and family members on the left who struggle to cope with Trump’s election victory. Some have chosen to shun us simply because our candidate delivered a resounding win on election night. They had fully expected a different outcome. After all the impeachments, slander, Justice Department weaponization, assassination attempts, and the $1 billion Democrats poured into campaigning against him, they were certain Trump’s defeat was inevitable, and his goose was properly cooked.

The Democrats threw everything at him, yet nothing stuck. For many of us, Trump’s victory wasn’t about him being “Teflon Don” but rather a sign that God isn’t done with America. It seems the Almighty intends to use Trump to steer this nation back toward righteousness. Proverbs 14:34 comes to mind: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.”

This victory was a collective effort. Whether people fasted and prayed earnestly or engaged politically as awakened citizens, everyone played a role — from “the greatest to the least.” Across the country, the battle raged. Key figures like Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy hit the campaign trail to support the Trump-Vance ticket. Influential voices on X.com, such as Jack Posobiec and even the satirical account Catturd, added to the momentum. Together, they rocked the deeply entrenched deep state until the giant refrigerator toppled over with a mighty crash.

Kamala Harris proved to be the worst candidate in at least half a century, projecting an even less favorable image than Michael Dukakis riding in a tank. Her candidacy floundered under its own weight, but Joe Biden’s influence didn’t help either.

Biden, battling the effects of senility, repeatedly undermined the Harris-Walz campaign. He appeared to emerge from his fog at the worst moments, throwing shade on the ticket. The image of Biden in a MAGA hat, paired with his habit of rambling incoherently like an out-of-control Slip ’n Slide, further eroded the Democrats’ credibility on a near-daily basis.

But the last-minute awakening of the church cannot be overstated.

The Democrats’ allegiance was unmistakable throughout the campaign, and it became painfully clear during a Harris rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in mid-October. When two pro-lifers shouted, “Jesus is Lord!” and “Christ is King!” from the crowd, Kamala’s knee-jerk reaction was to dismiss them, saying, “You’re at the wrong rally!” One wonders what David French and the “Evangelicals for Harris” crowd would have to say about that.

Scripture encourages Christians with the words, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Perhaps, the Great Political Awakening has helped to allay a heavenly judgment on this country.

One must also be reminded of the Prodigal Son, specifically, the verse that tells us “when he came to his senses.” It is as if the church writ large, Catholics and Protestants alike, came to its senses and congregants rose out of their pews and poured into the voting booths. The religious faithful could no longer be oblivious to the evil of a runaway government — the destruction of our society and culture had become all too palpable, something I point out clearly in my book “Obvious: Seeing the Evil That’s in Plain Sight and Doing Something About It.”

So now something has been done about “the evil in plain sight,” but it is only the beginning. We must not return to a state of slumber. America’s “Happy Day” is still quite a number of years down the road.

Remember that the deep state remains entrenched, so men and women of good will still need to keep up the fight-fight-fight right on through Inauguration Day. President Trump’s triumphant return to the White House is just the beginning of the long, hard road to uprooting a bloated bureaucratic regime and returning America to the glorious constitutional republic we were always meant to be.

Newly released police bodycam video shows the moment a Michigan suspect tried to flee a police officer on a riding lawnmower. However, the suspect ended up getting tased and shooting himself in the hand.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said an officer was dispatched to a property in Leoni Township.

‘This was an unfortunate and certainly dangerous situation. Mr. Kerr was not well that day.’

In the bodycam video the sheriff’s office released, Deputy Robert Henderson went to arrest 41-year-old James Mitchell Kerr III on a felony warrant for violating probation and two misdemeanor warrants on Sept. 19, according to WWJ-TV.

The bodycam video shows the officer approach Kerr — who is on a riding lawnmower.

The video — seen hundreds of thousands of times online — shows Kerr seemingly disregarding Henderson’s multiple orders to get off the riding lawnmower.

The officer is seen running after Kerr, continuing to order him to “stop.”

Once the officer wields a taser, the suspect finally stops the lawnmower.

Henderson warns: “You run, I’m gonna tase you, James.”

Kerr is seen exiting the lawnmower, but he then picks up what appears to be a handgun from under the lawnmower’s seat, according to WJBK-TV.

The officer tased the suspect, and he fell to the ground.

The officer screams, “Drop the gun!”

Video shows the suspect shooting himself in the hand.

Kerr reportedly was treated at a hospital for the gunshot wound and then released.

Kerr was charged Oct. 23 with assault with intent to murder, felony firearm, and resisting and obstructing police. He was released on bail.

If convicted, Kerr faces up to life in prison for the assault charge, up to two years for the felony firearm charge, and up to two years for resisting an officer.

Jackson County Sheriff Gary Schuette said, “This incident underscores how rapidly a seemingly routine encounter can escalate and the potential dangers deputies face daily. Thankfully, the deputy was unharmed, and the suspect did not sustain serious injuries.”

Kerr’s attorney, Philip Curtis, told the Detroit News, “This was an unfortunate and certainly dangerous situation. Mr. Kerr was not well that day, and I think it is more likely that he intended to harm himself, which is what happened. The deputy should be commended for so effectively defusing the situation before anyone was seriously injured. My client and his family are grateful for that.”

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office conducted an internal investigation. The Michigan State Police conducted an independent criminal investigation, which cleared Henderson of any wrongdoing and indicated that no police policies were violated.

The British luxury vehicle brand Jaguar released a bizarre new ad Tuesday, prompting intense criticism along with questions about whether the company was still in the business of making cars and whether it may have confused November for so-called Pride month.

Jaguar leaned into the backlash to its loud and car-less campaign ostensibly celebrating deviancy, suggesting that its hackneyed call to defy the “ordinary” — already uniformly and reflexively resisted by
massive companies, Western governments, the media, and various other institutions unmoored by tradition — was an introduction to “the future.”

Provocative advertisements have long been used to court controversy, secure earned media, and remind the public that a company and its products still exist.

Facing a chicken delivery management crisis in the United Kingdom and widespread closures, the KFC Corporation leaned on the creative agency Mother in 2018 for a
novel way to simultaneously apologize and advertise — printing “FCK,” the anagram of its brand name, on chicken buckets.

Volkswagen
ran its playful “Think Small” campaign in the 1960s to promote the Beetle.

Red Bull, evidently keen to sell more energy drinks, had Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner take a helium balloon up to an altitude of 39 kilometers,
jump, break the sound barrier, and land on his feet in New Mexico.

Apple
released an ad earlier this year titled “Crush” in which a compressor destroyed the various tools and means for real-world artistic endeavors and in-person activities that its new device would apparently replace and virtualize.

On Tuesday, Jaguar gave it a go,
launching an ad campaign on social media with the caption “Copy nothing.”

The video opens with a feminine individual with a Pacman-shaped afro leading five androgynous individuals dressed in misshapen apparel out of an elevator and onto a pink moonscape.

The text “delete ordinary” appears over a subsequent shot of an individual painting white lines.

‘Fire your marketing team.’

In the following shot, a masculine figure wearing a dress and wielding a yellow sledgehammer appears in a blue room with the text “Break moulds.”

Finally, the cast of androgynes, now joined by a heavyset black woman, crews together on the pink moonscape and strikes a well-choreographed pose.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk
said in response to the ad, “Do you sell cars?”

Conservative writer and author
Peachy Keenan shared a screenshot of the opening still and wrote, “You lost me at :01.”

Keenan
added, “Copy nothing [b]ut the worst, stalest cultural trends so you can subvert a storied brand. Congrats and no thanks.”

“Well … we know where the advertising team for Bud Light went,”
wrote Nick Freitas, Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates.

“Jaguar just pulled a Bud Light,”
wrote End Wokeness. “Wtf is this?”

Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck
tweeted, “Fire your marketing team and drop the woke stuff.”

When asked, “What the actual hell is this[?]” the company
responded, “The future.”

The company’s corresponding splash page
states, “We’re here to delete ordinary. To go bold. To copy nothing.”

Rather than credit the Ohio band Devo or fashion designer Pierre Cardin with its new aesthetic, Jaguar
said in a release that its “transformation is defined by Exuberant Modernism, a creative philosophy that underpins all aspects of the new Jaguar brand world.”

Jaguar managing director Rawdon Glover suggested to Car Dealer Magazine that the company is looking to sell to “younger, more affluent, and urban livers.”

The elite-driven Great Reset has been moving along with little resistance under the Biden administration, but Donald Trump’s election may be throwing a wrench in their plans.

“There’s been this massive movement amongst global elites to seize increasingly more power, to centralize power and ownership and wealth. That’s what the Great Reset is all about,” Justin Haskins, director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.”

“The Biden administration is all for it, they’ve been actively involved in it, they’ve been supportive in a variety of different ways,” Haskins continues, noting the Biden admin’s been working with the World Economic Forum, which he calls “the Great Reset people.”

“The Biden administration is actively working against us, never mind fighting in our favor. So the Trump administration is our only hope of solving that problem. We’re not going to be able to fix it without someone aggressively pushing back against the European Union and the U.N. and the World Economic Forum,” he explains.

This is why it was so essential that Donald Trump win this election, because what would happen to not just American citizens, but the world, had Harris continued Biden’s reign — it would have changed everything.

“A lot of the American elites, John Kerry’s been involved in this, Al Gore’s been involved in this, the Clintons, the Obamas, who have pushed this climate change agenda that they are hoping is part of what you’re calling a reset,” Stuckey responds, noting that the “reset” part is what’s most concerning.

“By a reset, kind of like starting from zero. Rebuilding a society where progressive elites are in charge. But how they’re selling it is an equitable society, an equal society where there’s no difference in income, no one is oppressed, no one is a victim of injustice,” she continues.

“So a lot of this has critical race theory tenets, even gender ideology, abortion plays a role in this. Like their vision of a kind of utopia or heaven on Earth where they have all the power and all of us underlings are just doing what we’re told,” she says.

Trump, who Stuckey calls a “disruptor,” is one of the major obstacles standing in their way.

“It’s not just that he’s not going to go along with it, it’s that his policies have been very proactive in trying to stop that sort of thing from occurring,” Haskins agrees. “There’s no question about it, what Trump wants to do is put individual liberty at the forefront of this.”

A video of an alleged drunk driver leading cops on a chase through a busy parking lot in Texas has gone viral. Video shows the woman holding a drink as she evades police and crashes into other cars. In the end, the woman is smiling and making jokes as she’s arrested.

Around 2 p.m. Thursday, Audrey Marie Schneider recklessly drove around the parking lot of a shopping center in San Antonio. The nearly five-minute video shows the 37-year-old leading police on a chase while driving her white Toyota SUV.

‘Oh no. I’m about to see something traumatic happen in front of me.’

According to authorities, the police chase began in Comal County, continued on a highway, and concluded in the shopping plaza in Bexar County. WOAI-TV reported that a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper attempted to pull Schneider over on Interstate 35 in Comal County. However, Schneider allegedly sped away from the trooper.

During the pursuit by multiple police cruisers, Schneider made several laps around a shopping center parking lot, which put pedestrians at risk.

The viral video captured by freelance photographer Alec Dyer shows Schneider driving erratically in the parking lot and crashing into other vehicles, including police cruisers.

Dyer told KSAT, “It felt really surreal. I couldn’t even believe it.”

“Just witnessing that, I was, like, mentally preparing, ‘Oh no. I’m about to see something traumatic happen in front of me,‘“ Dyer added. “The whole time I’m thinking, ‘Oh no! At this rate, she’s gonna kill somebody. She’s gonna hurt somebody.‘”

Video shows Schneider holding up a drink during the police chase in the parking lot.

Eventually, police corner Schneider’s SUV. However, Schneider is seen attempting to evade police by fleeing into a business in the plaza.

Soon police are seen escorting Schneider out of a store in handcuffs. Schneider’s clothes appear to be drenched in liquid, and she has dark marks on both sides of her face.

No injuries were reported.

A smiling Schneider says, “I’m so sorry.”

A bystander is on video asking police: “Hey, she threw a can of beer on me, can I press charges?”

Schneider is seen on video responding, “Yes, please do. I double-dog dare you.”

Schneider is heard telling the onlookers: “I’m back, bitches.”

While being pinned to the hood of a police cruiser, she also said, “Santa is coming.”

The San Antonio Express-News reported that emergency medical services checked Schneider before she was taken to Bexar County Jail.

In her mugshot, Schneider flashes a smile.

Schneider was charged with driving while intoxicated with an open alcohol container, assaulting a peace officer, evading arrest in a vehicle, as well as two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant.

According to KSAT, this wasn’t Schneider’s first incident involving driving and alcohol.

In 2017, Schneider faced a charge of obstruction of a highway while intoxicated, the station reported.

Records show the charge was dismissed after she was granted deferred adjudication.

President-elect Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that he will implement nationwide mass deportations after the Biden-Harris administration allowed at least 10 million migrants to illegally enter the country over the last four years. While Trump has many political allies on the hill, others within the Republican conference hold a more moderate view on the immigration issue, which may stir conflict in the coming weeks.

Speaker Mike Johnson has earned the wholehearted endorsement of the president-elect, despite being at the center of much of the GOP’s infighting. While he has aligned himself with Trump’s MAGA mandate, he wavered on the key issue of immigration during an interview with CNN on Sunday.

‘Our starting place should be for any individuals who came here illegally or were released into the United States illegally, illegitimately, by the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas regime.’

Johnson first and foremost reaffirmed that his position largely aligns with Trump’s, insisting that effective immigration policy was a “mandate” from the American people.

“This is what the American people have demanded and what they deserve,” Johnson told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Sunday. “They want a secure country. They want a secure border. And we will deliver upon that. That’s what the mandate of the election was all about.”

Despite this, Johnson indicated that his deportation policy would not include all illegal immigrants at first but rather prioritize the deportation of criminals.

“I think what the president is talking about is beginning with the dangerous persons that we know are here,” Johnson said. “There are criminals, known criminals. There are known terrorists in the country. There are some who have been apprehended for committing violent crimes after they’ve come across the border illegally. So you start with that number. You’ve got, by some counts, as many as 3 or 4 million people that fit in that category. Begin there and then see how it transpires.”

Johnson’s comments earned a bit of pushback from political allies and immigration hardliners like Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, who says we should “keep our foot on the gas” when it comes to deportations.

“We’ve made some progress in unity,” Roy said on Glenn Beck’s Monday show. “But, I will say, I was a little concerned about what I heard yesterday, and the speaker kind of walked it back a little bit. But focusing on deportation, I think we need to just keep our foot on the gas.”

“I want to be very clear,” Roy continued. “Our starting place should be for any individuals who came here illegally or were released into the United States illegally, illegitimately, by the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas regime. They need to be removed.”

While Republicans like Johnson and Roy have smaller differences to parse in the upcoming Congress, other GOP representatives are going against the grain when it comes to the MAGA mandate.

Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales, a fellow Texan who represents a border county, has signaled opposition to the blanket deportations Trump is advocating for.

“If the message is, ‘We’re here to deport your abuelita,’ that’s not going to work well,” Gonzales said, using the Spanish word for “grandma,” in a Sunday interview with ABC News. “It has to be one of holding these hardened criminals accountable.”

“You know, if we’re going after the guy that’s picking tomatoes or the nurse at the local hospital and we’re not going after the convicted criminal, then our government has failed us,” Gonzales said.

Despite the top-down mandate from Trump, the Republican conference could become fractured on yet another hot-button issue.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina was apparently threatened by a man who identifies as transgender after the congresswoman proposed legislation that would require individuals to use the restroom that corresponds to their biological sex.

In a social media post, the transgender individual, who goes by Venus, apparently threatened to kill Mace as well as other activists who are outspoken against transgenderism.

“This video goes out to Congresswoman Nancy Mace,” Venus said in the video posted to Instagram. “Congresswoman Nancy Mace, I do hope that one day I do find you in that woman’s bathroom, and I grab your ratty looking f***ing hair and drag your face down to the floor while I repeatedly bash it in until the blood’s everywhere and you’re dead.”

‘I think that we should just all come together and murder everyone.’

Mace exposed Venus’ rant and responded to his apparent threats in a Tuesday post on X.

“This is the exact type of man I don’t want in the women’s restroom with me,” Mace said in the post.

These alleged threats came after Mace introduced a bill that would bar men who claim to be women from using the women’s restroom. Mace proposed the legislation after Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride of Delaware, a biological male, was elected to the House as the first openly transgender lawmaker.

Venus’ alleged threats, however, did not stop with Mace.

“Clarence Thomas, I have not forgotten about you,” he continued, according to the video. “Be on the lookout.”

“And why is J.K. Rowling still alive?” he said in the post, video showed. “We should be focusing our efforts and our resources, not on assassinating Trump, but instead on assassinating J.K. Rowling. That f***ing wench needs to die. She needs to burn on the stake and die.”

Venus then seemingly advocated for murder on a broad scale, calling for transgender people to “come together and murder everyone,” claiming it would “solve all [their] problems.”

“I condone murder, I condone it,” he continued on the video. “I think that we need to hold our politicians accountable by murdering them, and I think we need to hold J.K. Rowling accountable by murdering her too. I’m like, so very serious about this. I’m so passionately serious about this.”

“I think that we should just all come together and murder everyone,” he said, according to the video. “I think, you know, like, think would be better. You know? Like, we would just be so much happier in life if us as trans people just came together and murdered a bunch of people. Like, I think that really would, like, solve all of our problems.”

Following Mace’s legislation, McBride pointed the finger at “right-wing extremists,” who he claims are just “manufacturing culture wars.”

“Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness,” McBride said in a Monday post on X.

“This is a blatant attempt from far right-wing extremists to distract from the fact that they have no real solutions to what Americans are facing,” McBride continued. “We should be focused on bringing down the cost of housing, health care, and child care, not manufacturing culture wars. Delawareans sent me here to make the American dream more affordable and accessible and that’s what I’m focused on.”

Congress grilled Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell on Tuesday afternoon regarding allegations of political discrimination and the agency’s request for $40 billion in disaster relief funds.

During a House Transportation and Infrastructure hearing, Criswell was questioned about a now-terminated hurricane relief supervisor, Marn’i Washington, who admitted to instructing workers to avoid homes with signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump during the relief efforts following Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

‘This is pretty hard to defend.’

FEMA has repeatedly insisted that the situation was isolated, but Washington has argued that she is being used as a “scapegoat,” claiming that the instruction to skip certain homes was not an isolated incident.

During Tuesday’s hearing, Criswell told Congress, “I do not believe that this employee’s actions are indicative of any widespread cultural problems at FEMA. FEMA, however, has taken appropriate action to ensure that this matter is fully investigated, and I am committed to ensuring that nothing like this ever happens again.”

According to Criswell, the agency’s “ongoing investigation,” which includes questioning personnel in the chain of command above Washington, has yielded “no information at this point that there was anything beyond her [Washington’s] direction to her employees to skip and bypass a home.”

Criswell agreed to request an outside investigation from FEMA’s Office of Inspector General.

FEMA is requesting that Congress provide $40 billion for disaster relief to last through the upcoming year. Amid the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the agency has highlighted its depleted resources for emergency responses.

Several Republican Congress members pressed Criswell about the agency’s request for additional funding while its Shelter and Services Program continues to provide extensive free services to illegal aliens.

In response, the FEMA administrator redirected the criticism back at Congress, pointing out that the legislative body had created the program and mandated the agency oversee it.

Rep. Marcus Molinaro (R-N.Y.) challenged Criswell’s defense, calling it the “easiest and most disingenuous argument.”

“You administer the one department in domestic policy that has to triage and to set priorities — your department,” Molinaro stated. “You are empowered and your department is empowered to decide what of the programs you’re running today should take precedence or priority over the others. Yes, sure. We can pass a law that limits the Shelter and Services funding, that stops dollars getting to illegal immigrants, but you have to make that decision every day.”

Rep. Mike Ezell (R-Miss.) questioned Criswell about 20 Hurricane Katrina infrastructure projects funded and never completed by FEMA.

“How, 20 years later, are there still unresolved projects from Katrina?” Ezell asked. “This is pretty hard to defend.”

Ezell called FEMA’s failure to complete the projects “simply outrageous.”

More and more athletes are jumping on the presidential bandwagon and supporting Donald Trump with their dance moves.

After Trump won the presidency for the second time, athletes from across the country paid tribute to him with his signature dance as a form of celebration.

Now, nearly three weeks since the election victory, the Trump-themed dances show no sign of slowing down, and the trend is spreading across more sports.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers showed off his moves after a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Although the Raiders fell short with a 34-19 loss, Bowers led all receivers in receptions and yards.

Perhaps unlike before the election, the Raiders’ communications team was not shy about showcasing Bowers’ dancing touchdown celebration and posted a stand-alone clip of the 21-year-old on social media.

In soccer, the U.S. Men’s National Team appropriately represented the new president during a CONCACAF Nations League match against Jamaica. Team USA took home a 4-2 victory, and when star winger Christian Pulisic scored just 13 minutes in, he ran to the corner flag to dance in front the St. Louis crowd.

“Made it look too easy,” the team proudly wrote above the video clip on X.

In another angle of the celebration, Juventus player and international star Weston McKennie can be seen joining in on the dance.

Either talented athletes are doing the Trump dance or the dance itself is a good-luck charm, because LPGA golfer Charley Hull found herself in a race for the Annika tournament championship over the weekend. Hull pulled out the Trump dance during the final round and landed herself in a three-way tie for second place on the leaderboard, earning $229,909.

These weren’t the only athletes showing off the president’s dance moves.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones made a point of thanking Trump at UFC 309. Trump was in the audience at the Madison Square Garden event.

Jones shared his rendition of the viral dance before handing the president his belt to hold after his victory.

With college football players and even Wayne Gretzky coming out of the woodwork as Trump supporters, enthusiasm for the red, white, and blue is at an all-time in the sports world and shows no signs of stopping.

A Canadian Football League referee is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after making a hilarious error to start off the championship game.

At the 111th Grey Cup in Vancouver, Canada, veteran official Benoit Major took center stage in what is typically the referee’s time to shine: the coin toss.

Along with Coinbase Canada CEO Lucas Matheson, Major stood between the captains of the Toronto Argonauts and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

“All right, Lucas, get up here,” the referee told Matheson. “Please do us the honors,” he continued, handing the coin to the CEO.

As the crypto boss flipped the coin, the referee attempted to grab his arm to stop him, realizing he forgot the most integral part of the coin toss. Major forgot to ask the Argonauts’ team captains whether they were choosing heads or tails.

“Check, check check,” Major said in a French-Canadian accent as the coin hit the ground.

“I have to ask … ‘what do you want?'” Major said, while picking up the coin.

With the football players clearly unimpressed — as this is the most important game of their lives — the referee struck a quick pose in jest while laughing; the players did not find it funny.

“All right, Toronto,” Major restarted, putting his arm on Toronto’s DaVaris Daniels’ shoulder out of embarrassment.

“You’re the visiting team; what’s your choice?”

After Daniels called “heads,” the referee handed the coin back to the Coinbase CEO.

“Okay, Lucas, take two.”

As is a growing trend in sports, the CFL chose to lean into the silly moment and posted the coin toss in full on the league’s X page.

However, the league didn’t exactly draw attention to it, writing, “The coin has been tossed, let’s play some football!”

The fun starts at about 1:30 in the video.

‘I’m a bit disfigured.’

The Argonauts lost the real coin toss, but went on to win their 19th Grey Cup, 41-24.

This also isn’t the first bout of bad luck Major has had while refereeing an Argonauts game. In 2014, the Montreal native took a cleat to the face that resulted in his left eye being swollen shut.

“I’m a bit disfigured,” Major said in 2014, according to Yahoo Sports. “I’ve got swelling and discoloration going on, so it’s interesting, I guess.”

The Canadian added, “My girls say if it were Halloween, I wouldn’t need any makeup.”

Looking back, one of the most iconic coin-toss botches came on Thanksgiving day in 1998, when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Jerome Bettis appeared to call “tails” during the toss to start overtime.

NFL referee Phil Luckett said that Bettis started to say “heads” before switching his answer.

After the Lions won the coin toss, they got the ball and kicked a game-winning field goal three minutes into OT.

Jon Stewart slammed Democrats for their “cope” with the decisive 2024 election victory of President-elect Donald Trump. The liberal talk show host also skewered “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for making a “personal” visit to meet with Trump.

During his Monday monologue on “The Daily Show,” Stewart introduced a new segment he called “The Audacity of Cope,” where he ridiculed Democrats for attempting to find minor wins after the embarrassing election loss by Vice President Kamala Harris.

‘Republicans are playing chess, and the Democrats are in the nurse’s office because they glued their balls to their thighs.’

Stewart played a montage of Democrats and liberal talking heads previously comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. The compilation also showed them warning that Trump is a “threat to Democracy” who would cause “irreversible” damage to the country if elected.

However, Stewart later played a clip of “Morning Joe” co-hosts Scarborough and Brzezinski announcing that they met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week in an effort to reopen the lines of communication for the first time in seven years. As Blaze News reported this week, Brzezinski said the meeting was an effort to “restart communications” with Trump, of whom they have been extremely critical since he was elected in 2016.

“Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets,” Scarborough stated. “We talked about that a good bit. And it’s gonna come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of issues. And we told him so.”

“Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump,” Brzezinski said. “And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn’t we?”

Stewart shot back, “Uh, because you said he was Hitler.”

Last November, Scarborough compared Trump to Hitler.

Stewart also mocked Democrat politicians for attempting to “cope” with the brutal election loss by highlighting seemingly insignificant achievements.

“I assume now that the Democrats have lost to the greatest threat we’ve ever faced as a nation that they will be forthright in acknowledging, one, the Democrats’ role in this catastrophic defeat and, two, the bleak hellscape we now face,” Stewart said.

Stewart mocked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) for trying to sugarcoat the results of the election by saying that the Democrats managed to “flip three House seats and gain back almost all of those that we had lost in 2022.”

Stewart quipped, “Yeah, ‘almost’ is doing a lot of work in that sentence. ‘Yeah, we almost gained back all that we lost.'”

He accused Democrats of trying to “spin” a situation that is “clearly not good news.”

“The Daily Show” host announced, “It’s a new dynamic, it is a willful bright-siding, this s**t show that we celebrate in our new segment called ‘The Audacity of Cope.'”

Stewart teased progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) for attempting to find glimmers of hope by spotlighting that some of the new Democrats in the House are diverse, including “the first trans member of Congress” and “the youngest member ever elected to the House from New Jersey.”

Stewart joked, “Wait till you hear that this record-breaking young phenom from New Jersey is 38 years old! 38 years old! How far are we going with this? ‘Oh, in Illinois, we elected a ginger!'”

Stewart added, “Wow, this is going to be the most diverse group of congresspeople to ever get all their legislation blocked. So inspiring!”

The Republicans hold at least 218 seats in the House — the number needed for a majority. Meanwhile, the Democrats hold 212 seats, and there are five seats still undecided.

Stewart continued his scorching takedown of Democrats, “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Republicans are playing chess, and the Democrats are in the nurse’s office because they glued their balls to their thighs.”

Stewart then lampooned President Joe Biden for dealing with the election loss by visiting the Amazon rain forest and then seemingly wandering off into the jungle. Stewart described Trump’s Cabinet selections as “provocative and unorthodox,” including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former Rep. Matt Gaetz, and Fox News host Pete Hegseth. The liberal talk show host claimed that Republicans will push through the Cabinet picks with loopholes.

“Democrats are positive that the vaunted constitutional rules of the Senate shall be the guardrail to this madness,” Stewart said of Trump’s Cabinet nominees. “That is our government in a nutshell: The rules say ‘We can stop it.’ The loophole says, ‘F*** that!’ So what are you left with? The last refuge of losers: the norms.”

“Republicans exploit the loopholes,” he noted. “Democrats complain about the norms over and over and over, and it has ghastly consequences.”

Stewart advised Democrats, “You guys be the loophole guys that figure out how to get s**t done, because [Republicans] don’t give a f*** about your norms.”
