After leaving CNN and joining NewsNation, Chris Cuomo has come across as more of a moderate.

“I actually saw Chris Cuomo give a very good description of why people vote for Donald Trump,” Allie Beth Stuckey tells Megyn Kelly.

Cuomo has also been very pro-Israel and has even condemned COVID vaccines.

“Do you think that people like [Cuomo] who leave CNN and then all of a sudden become more fair and balanced — was it CNN that was influencing them, and they were just kind of lying because they had to at the time? Or do you think that they are lying now just to try to get a bigger audience?” Allie asks.

“100% it’s the latter,” says Kelly, who obviously knows a thing or two about mainstream media from her days at Fox.

“Chris Cuomo is faking it because he wants an audience. Go back and look at any night on ‘The Chris Cuomo Show’ when it was on CNN. He’s as left as they come,” says Kelly, adding that “he comes from a party and a family of leftists.”

“Only now do his brother and Chris come out and try to flirt with the right because they both have careers that are in tatters,” she adds. “Chris Cuomo has about four viewers who watch him over on NewsNation, and he’s trying to increase his numbers because NewsNation is trying to be palatable to both the left and right.”

“But trust me when I tell you, this guy can’t stand Trump, and he can’t stand Trump supporters,” Kelly asserts.

To hear more proof that Cuomo is a radical leftist disguised as a moderate, watch the episode above.

I saw on X that an NBC news reporter described the “general vibe” around Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks as “WTF,” with the appointment of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) as attorney general earning gasps of “Oh my God.”

Can’t say I don’t share that last sentiment in at least some measure. Gaetz running the Justice Department is perhaps the biggest middle finger in the history of American presidential appointments and one far from certain to be approved by a GOP-controlled Senate.

I prefer Trump’s way of doing something over our old way of doing nothing. Let the past die. On to the future.

But when it comes to Gaetz, or any of Trump’s other appointments for that matter, here’s where I stand: Trump won one of the most remarkable political victories in the history of this country. Thus, to the victor go the spoils.

I got into this business believing that there was a conservative movement for which I would help tip the scales against the system. But all I found instead was a grift that sold books and tickets to conferences without really intending to accomplish a damn thing. Case in point: Most notable conservative influencers came out earlier this week for Rick Scott as Senate majority leader, and he was cast aside on the very first vote.

See? We’re terrible. We didn’t just lose the culture over the last 30 years by accident. For decades, we offered no systemic opposition to the American left. It’s frankly a miracle — and only by God’s grace — that we aren’t already like Western Europe, especially given the current state of our church, which is deep in its metrosexual phase. And the fact that Rick Scott is our best option only underscores the absence of a real conservative movement.

We left a giant void, and Trump filled it. He’s the king now.

To confront this reality, some of you might benefit from watching “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” It’s a story about a lifeless church where the women are catty and the men watch the clock, waiting for the game to start. Then God sends in a group of wayward kids, the Herdmans, to shake things up and bring purpose and passion back to the spiritual void.

What I see now — and it took me a very long time to realize — is that Trump is the political version of the Herdmans. Ironically, among all the people you now know as Trump’s closest associates and promoters, I was actually offered the keys to that kingdom before most of them even became relevant.

But I turned it down. I missed it. I also believed that nothing good could come from Nazareth. I thought I was guarding my integrity and a movement I wasn’t yet convinced didn’t exist. But it doesn’t exist. That’s why Trump is back — and, it seems, stronger than ever before.

When COVID and endless lawfare sent Trump packing in 2020, his exile and the Democrats’ subsequent insanity were, in hindsight, the final chance for red states to establish the bona fides of a conservative movement to lead the way. Yet there was no red wave in 2022. Not even close.

Because once and for all, hear me now: There is no conservative movement.

We have just two and a half governors who stand out: Ron DeSantis, Kim Reynolds, and maybe Brian Kemp half the time. They led a base so uninspired that their children were being transitioned before their eyes and they faced job losses unless they took a mandated poisonous jab. Yet even with these issues, they couldn’t convince the country to oust the Democrats from Congress two years ago.

The conservative movement is like a red-shirted crew member beaming down to a planet in the first five minutes of a “Star Trek” episode — it’s definitely not coming back. It’s dead, Jim. That’s what we are.

We have one resistance movement, and that’s Trump. If he fails, I honestly don’t know where we go from here. So let’s see what the Herdmans can do. I have to say, I’m as optimistic now as I’ve been in a long time. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything immediately, but for the first time in years, I see an aggressive plan from the right.

Yes, an actual plan being executed efficiently, in clear contrast to the country’s current direction. It won’t be what you’re used to, it will sometimes make you uncomfortable, and there will almost certainly be some cleanups in aisle 12 along the way. But doesn’t everything feel more alive than it did just a couple of weeks ago?

I’ll take it. I prefer Trump’s way of doing something over our old way of doing nothing. Let the past die. On to the future.

Nearly a dozen NCAA athletes and one coach are suing the Mountain West Conference over alleged First Amendment violations that stem from a male athlete playing against women.

Officials at San Jose State University are also named in the lawsuit that alleges the female athletes were subject to a new “Transgender Participation Policy” that sought to “suppress the free speech rights of women athletes.”

The lawsuit, backed by the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, claims the defendants manipulated conference rules, “diminished sport opportunities for women,” and used their position to punish dozens of female college athletes for taking a stand against having to compete against men in their sport.

That athlete is SJSU’s transgender player, Blaire Fleming. Born Brayden, Fleming is a 6’1” male whose inclusion on the team has sparked five separate forfeits from opposing teams

According to the provided Transgender Participation Policy, the decision whether to allow a “transgender athlete” to participate in intercollegiate athletics is at the discretion of each school, determined by its own “interaction with the individual [and] the application of state law.”

— (@)

Shockingly, the policy states that the NCAA will “not entertain inquiries or challenges regarding the eligibility of transgender student-athletes.” Schools are also not required to provide information to their opponents about whether or not there is a transgender athlete on their team.

“It shall be the discretion of the certifying institution whether or not to provide pertinent information,” the policy states.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit include three women from the University of Wyoming, two from Boise State, and two from University of Nevada Reno.

Nevada’s Sia Liilii previously spoke to Blaze News, simply stating that she and her teammates got together and decided what was happening “isn’t right.”

‘I will do everything to protect this opportunity for other girls and women.’

Two of Fleming’s own teammates from SJSU have joined the lawsuit, along with the Associate Head Coach of Women’s Volleyball Melissa Batie-Smoose.

The coach was recently suspended after speaking out on the issue and even alleged that Fleming had conspired against his own teammate (Brooke Slusser, also named in the lawsuit) with an opponent to try to injure her.

Utah State captain Kaylie Ray, another plaintiff, called for more support from the Mountain West Conference and NCAA.

“We need leaders in the Mountain West and NCAA to step up. Being a woman in sports has shaped my life, and I will do everything to protect this opportunity for other girls and women.”

San Jose State University and its staff have not returned requests for comments on the situation, nor have they been willing to address any claims made by the student-athletes or coach.

Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone called President-elect Donald Trump America’s “second George Washington” during a short speech Thursday night introducing Trump during the America First Policy Institute Gala at the Mar-a-Lago Club.

Stallone began by describing the first scene of his legendary movie “Rocky” with an image of Jesus coming into view — and then as the camera pans out, the audience sees writing below the image of Christ: Resurrection [Athletic Club]. “I found a church that had been converted to a boxing ring,” Stallone recalled.

‘And I’ll just say this, and I mean it: When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world.’

As the camera pans down, the audience sees a pair of boxers going at it in a gritty ring in Philadelphia, just two days before Thanksgiving. The very first image of Rocky is when his opponent socks him in the jaw with a left hook. You can view that first scene here.

“And at that moment, he was a chosen person, and that’s how I began the journey,” Stallone continued. “Something was gonna happen. This man was gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives — just like President Trump.”

When the audience’s applause subsided, Stallone added that “we’re in the presence of a really mythical character. I love mythology. And this individual does not exist on this planet. Nobody in the world could have pulled off what [Trump] pulled off, so I’m in awe.”

The actor concluded by saying, “And I’ll just say this, and I mean it: When George Washington defended his country, he had no idea that he was gonna change the world. Because without him, you could imagine what the world would look like. Guess what? We got the second George Washington. Congratulations!”

With that, Trump ascended to the stage and shook hands with Stallone. You can check out his speech here.

Deadline reported that Stallone previously had stayed quiet about who he politically endorsed during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election cycles. The outlet said Stallone indicated that he didn’t vote in presidential elections the prior two cycles.

But Deadline noted that the actor told Variety in 2016 that he “love[s]” Trump and views him as a “great Dickensian character.” Deadline also said Stallone in 2018 was pictured in the Oval Office alongside Trump as he posthumously pardoned former world champion boxer Jack Johnson.

Congressional lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee held a
joint subcommittee hearing Wednesday to discuss alleged secret government investigations into UFOs — now called unidentified anomalous phenomena — and the knowledge obtained from the inquiry.

During the hearing, Michael Shellenberger, a publisher of the Twitter Files and co-founder of the “Public” newsletter on Substack, shared some shocking claims from a government whistleblower about an alleged special access program at the Defense Department called “Immaculate Constellation. ”

Shellenberger noted in his
written testimony that existing and former government officials have notified members of Congress that notwithstanding suggestions to the contrary, the Pentagon has kept a “significant body of information about UAPs, including military intelligence databases that have evidence of their existence as physical craft,” under wraps.

One unnamed whistleblower submitted a report to Congress through the UAP whistleblower mechanisms established by the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, detailing the nature of the alleged Immaculate Constellation project.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.)
published that report this week.

Shellenberger acknowledged that DOD spokesperson Susan Gough
indicated last month the “Department of Defense has no record, present or historical” of Immaculate Constellation.

However, the journalist said that a source subsequently notified him that Immaculate Constellation, apparently created after the New York Times reported in 2017 on a similar program called the Advance Aerospace Threat Identification Program, is “controlled by the White House and executed and administered by the DOD to avoid compliance with Title 10 of the United States Code.”

A former intelligence community official reportedly told Shellenberger’s Public that Immaculate Constellation “is run out of SEC DEF,” adding, “They don’t want to acknowledge it’s real.”

‘The F-22 pilot noted multiple metallic orbs — slightly smaller than a sedan — hovering in place.’

The whistleblower report alleges at the outset that “elements of the U.S. Executive Branch have conspired to prevent the U.S. Legislative Branch from exercising its lawful powers of governance with respect to the UAP, [Technologies of Unknown Origin], and [Non-Human Intelligence] issues.”

While the allegation of a criminal conspiracy might itself be newsworthy, what is more interesting is the conclusion drawn in the report:

The official disclosure of the existence of Non-Human Intelligences (NHIs) and their presence on Earth is a pivotal moment in human history. The nature of this information is of such incomparable relevance to the public good that it demands to be shared. Some may object and say that disclosure at this time poses too many risks. To them it must be said that we will never be able to predict how individuals, families, communities, and nations will react to revelations of such magnitude. Moving forward, we must guard against the lure of authoritarian solution justified by expediency and appeals to national security. The Good in humanity will always triumph through time, and it is in moments of crisis that our capacities for achieving the extraordinary are discovered. Be not afraid.

According to the whistleblower, who Shellenberger has
indicated “discovered this material accidentally,” Immaculate Constellation collects high-quality imagery intelligence on UAPs in low earth orbit, the upper atmosphere, maritime environments, and at military aviation altitude and “acts as a nexus for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating intelligence on the activities, capabilities, and locations of anomalous aerospace threats that originate from foreign or unidentified sources.”

The report details multiple alleged UFO sightings, some of which were apparently captured by high-powered sensors and others that were documented by military personnel.

There is, for instance, allegedly infrared and full-motion video daytime footage of roughly 12 “metallic orbs skimming the ocean surface at high speed before dispersing in multiple directions” and maneuvering with rapidity and agility “incompatible with known aerospace vehicles.”

The metallic orbs apparently flew in a tight “cuboid” formation, creating the illusion of a cube at a distance. The sensor platform reportedly lost sight of most of the UAPs when they ascended and accelerated.

UAPs reported from 1991 to 2022 in one alleged Immaculate Constellation dataset varied in shape and size and included spheres, saucers, ovals, arrowheads, and irregular or organic shapes. The report catalogues various descriptions and properties recorded for each of the various vehicle types.

The whistleblower indicated that Immaculate Constellation also has plenty of intelligence obtained from human sources as well. One account highlighted in the report claims that metallic orbs intercepted an F-22 fighter jet that was conducting a routine surveillance and control mission.

“An F-22 fighter observed multiple UAP contacts at mission-altitude,” said the report. “Moving to intercept, the F-22 pilot noted multiple metallic orbs — slightly smaller than a sedan — hovering in place. Upon vectoring towards the UAPs, a smaller formation of the metallic orbs accelerated at rapid speed towards the F-22, which was unable to establish radar locks on the presumed-hostile UAPs.”

The report noted that when the fighter jet attempted to flee, it was “intercepted and boxed in by approximately 3-6 UAPs. One UAP maneuvered in proximity (>12 meters) to the area directly starboard of the cockpit; there the UAP established a rigid spatial relationship with the F-22, maintaining its exact position and orientation parallel with the F-22’s cockpit despite multiple evasive rolls and maneuvers.”

Ultimately, the orbs reportedly escorted the fighter jet out of the mission area.

According to the whistleblower report, other countries are aware of UAP events and take them deadly seriously, especially since the unidentified objects have an apparent tendency to fly over sensitive military and intelligence facilities.

Earlier this year, the DOD’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office
released a report claiming no governmental evidence of extraterrestrial technology.

“All investigative efforts, at all levels of classification, concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena and the result of misidentification,” said the report. “Although not the focus of this report, it is worthwhile to note that all official foreign UAP investigatory efforts to date have reached the same general conclusions as USG investigations.”

The AARO report noted, “Although many UAP reports remain unsolved or unidentified, AARO assesses that if more and better quality data were available, most of these cases also could be identified and resolved as ordinary objects or phenomena.”

Shellenberger said that the American government “appears to know significantly more about UAPs than it is revealing. But even those who believe the U.S. government has revealed all that it knows should have no objection to congressional demands for greater transparency.”

Mace
emphasized, “The American people have every right to know what is really happening.”

Veteran “Saturday Night Live” cast member Kenan Thompson said actors and comedians no longer have the freedom to write edgy material, and those who do are “suppressed.”

Thompson, who has starred in movies like “Good Burger” and “D2: The Mighty Ducks,” said that comedians sometimes struggle to align their comedy to public “sensibilities,” especially when they are used to speaking a certain way in their private lives.

The 46-year-old noted that while some comedians can emerge out of the industry’s blanket censorship, most edgy comedy is shut down by film studios.

“There’s supposed to be freedom of speech. They keep trying to suppress, but then you have the [comedians] that pop up out of that suppression,” Thompson revealed.

‘That’s where it felt like was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny.’

During an interview with comedians Mark Normand and Sam Morril, Thompson said it was disheartening to see how few comedies get a green light in modern Hollywood.

“There’s not enough comedies anymore. There’s no comedies to be seen right now. It’s so sad.”

“Of course the classics like the ‘Tropic Thunders’ of it all, but that’s where it felt like was the end of the road for the freedom of wanting to be funny kind of thing. … I’m looking for that era,” Thompson explained.

Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder” received very little backlash when it was released in 2008 despite its frequent use of the word “retard” and the simple fact that actor Robert Downey Jr. was in blackface for nearly the entire film.

Thompson also cited movies like Mike Myers’ “Austin Powers” and “Baseketball” as edgy movies that likely couldn’t be made today.

“It should be allowed to be done!” Thompson declared.

Host Normand then asked Thompson about recent episodes of “Saturday Night Live” in which comedians Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle took a moment to acknowledge how sensitive the show’s audience has become.

“Everybody was like, ‘This is crazy; this is so offensive,'” Normand recalled. “Did you find it was a little touchy over there?” he asked the cast member.

“It’s touchy everywhere,” Thompson replied. “That audience comes in and like, there is some clutching of the pearls.”

Thompson implied that the studio audience at SNL is usually on edge and afraid to laugh at anything that could be deemed offensive. This results in comedians often receiving little “support” from the live viewers when they perform stand-up comedy on the show.

Despite this, the actor claimed the executive producer of SNL, Lorne Michaels, is reasonable in his approach about what can or cannot be said by performers. He said Michaels will simply say “good luck” to a comedian and let the audience reaction do the talking.

The editor in chief of Scientific American has resigned from her position after going on an unhinged rant about the supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

On Thursday, Laura Helmuth took to the social media platform Bluesky to announce that she was stepping away from Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in American history.

“I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief,” she wrote. “I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching).”

The statement itself is rather innocuous, seemingly obscuring the hate-filled context in which it was made.

On election night, Helmuth descended into a foulmouthed meltdown on Bluesky after Trump emerged the winner. Rather than direct her ire at the once and future president, Helmuth took aim at the 75 million or so Americans who cast a vote for him, as Blaze News previously reported.

Her statements that night included:

“I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f****** fascists”;”Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*** them to the moon and back”;”Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist”; and”The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself.”

“Racial justice is a science story”;”Environmental justice is a science story”; and”Reproductive justice is a science story.”

Racism is alive and well in America — but it’s not coming from the Republican Party, as the Democrats have led us to believe over the past decade.

“I think Sunny Hostin is the most racist person on television,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” tells Megyn Kelly, who believes Joy Reid and Elie Mystal are the Democrats that actually take the cake.

“It’s amazing to watch, like you really can’t believe that they’re allowed to say the things they say. It’s insane on her show, and also her Instagram,” Kelly says, noting that Reid was recently “mocking white women’s tears” on the social media platform.

“I want to give some free advice to the white progressives, particularly white progressive women who may be thinking about marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the p-word hats and doing that thing. I would just say, probably don’t send any of those invites to any black women,” Reid said in a video post.

“I’m just going to tell you right now, they’re not coming. I’m pretty sure black women have resigned from the save America coalition, save democracy coalition, and definitely the save the Democratic Party coalition,” she continued. “Just keep those invites maybe among your own friends.”

Reid went on to explain that “black women are now on the save black women, prioritize black men, and prioritize black communities, black businesses, and you know, the black spaces.”

Kelly can’t believe what she’s hearing.

“Can you imagine, if when I was on Fox News in the prime time, if I was like, ‘Oh, look at the black women crying over George Floyd,’” Kelly says. “I would have been fired so fast. But she can get away with doing that to whites.”

“Why again? Because MSNBC and NBC allow blatant racism on their airwaves every single night. She’s not the only purveyor of it, she just happens to be the worst. Also, I’m pretty sure she’s not a natural blonde,” she adds.

Joe Rogan said hippies, artists, musicians, and comedians reached out to thank him for endorsing President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

During a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the prolific podcaster said celebrities thanked him for endorsing him because they could not give public support to Trump over fears of attacks.

‘They don’t want to be attacked.’

“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind. Do you know how many artists that have reached out to me that are, like, f***ing hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it?” Rogan said.

“They said they want to, but they don’t wanna be attacked. They can’t say it. They think the country is going in the wrong direction,” Rogan said during Wednesday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Rogan did not name the names of the celebrities who secretly supported Trump.

“A lot of what people say, they say it because they don’t want people to attack them. They say it because they think that if they say it, it will clear them; they’ll be OK,” Rogan explained.

Rogan added, “If you say you support ‘x’ — you might not even support ‘x’ — but if you say you support ‘x,’ you’re not going to get attacked, and the right people will leave you alone or agree with you and appreciate you or praise you.”

During the podcast, Rogan warned that having an ideological media cover government leaders could be “dangerous,” “whether it’s a right-wing government or a left-wing government, and that what you see that’s happening in the U.K. where people are being imprisoned for tweets and Facebook posts. It’s f***ing crazy.”

“Mind-bending. The whole thing is nuts,” Rogan added. “And it’s a dangerous path that we were on. We were on that path. Trump has vowed to have free speech become a very important part of what he’s standing for and that this censoring of information needs to stop and that we need to stop all government influence in what people have to say.”

Rogan interviewed billionaire Elon Musk right before the election and discussed the significant issues heading into the 2024 election. Musk said Harris would use the levers of government to shut down the X social media platform if elected.

Rogan made his endorsement of Trump on the eve of the 2024 election — less than two weeks after interviewing the former president on his massively popular podcast.

Rogan’s three-hour interview with Trump garnered a whopping 50 million views on just YouTube alone.

As Blaze News recently reported, Rogan said Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t do an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” because her campaign set parameters on the duration of the interview and the site of the meeting and wanted to avoid certain topics such as marijuana legalization.

During Friday’s episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” with Evan Hafer, former Green Beret with the 19th Special Forces Group and founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, Rogan somewhat jokingly theorized that President Joe Biden voted for Trump in the 2024 election.

“Do you know what one of my f***ing favorite things about this election cycle has been? Yesterday, when Biden and Trump sat down in the White House. Biden voted for Trump, I guarantee it. I f***ing guarantee it. I never saw that dude so happy in his f***ing life,” Rogan said.

“He lost. His party lost. He was happy,” Rogan noted.

“Look at his f****ng smile, dude,” Rogan said of a smiling Biden with Trump at the White House. “That’s like when your kid gets married.”

“But look at that smile. That motherf***er has never been happier in his life – in his life,” Rogan told Hafer.

Rogan noted that some Democrats warned that Trump was Adolf Hitler but was welcomed into the White House by Biden.

Whoopi Goldberg said on “The View” earlier this week during a discussion about the economy in relation to the presidential election that “I appreciate that people are having a hard time. Me too. I work for a living.”

Uh-oh. But she wasn’t done. The outspoken co-host of the far-left talk show added stridently that “if I had all the money in the world, I would not be here, OK? So I’m a working person, you know? … I know it’s hard out there.”

‘She made it seem like she’s struggling and that she has no choice but to … really pick herself up every day and just head over to work a lot of manual labor.’

In regard to Goldberg’s 2016 contract extension with “The View,” Variety reported that “she will continue to earn her current annual salary, which is in the $5 to $6 million range.”

Not incidentally, when her heavy-duty Manhattan shift is over, Goldberg reportedly retreats across the bridge to a tony Northern New Jersey community, where her nearly 10,000-square-foot “Georgian Colonial-style residence” with eight bedrooms awaits her. Goldberg reportedly bought the place in 2009 for a cool $2.8 million.

So as you might expect, head-shaking outrage erupted once everyday people picked up on Goldberg’s pronouncement about her “working person” plight.

But perhaps the most eye-opening responses came from Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur, hosts of the far-left show “The Young Turks.” Neither of them were pleased with Goldberg’s words, either.

“Whoopi, you can’t say … you work for a living and then ‘I know your pain’ et cetera as if you’re a person who isn’t spectacularly wealthy,” Uygur reacted. “You have to at least acknowledge, ‘Look, guys, I get it. I’m wealthy, and I used to be poor, but I haven’t been poor in a long, long time. But, you know, here’s the ways that I can relate.’ Just be honest about it, no problem, right? But when you make it seem like you’re barely getting by and you’re worried about your grandkids …”

Kasparian added, “She made it seem like she’s struggling and that she has no choice but to … really pick herself up every day and just head over to work a lot of manual labor. … The way she carried herself in that segment was ridiculous. … She’s not a working-class American.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams slammed his fellow Democrats for focusing too much of their campaign messaging on fascism fears rather than speaking to “working-class people issues.”

In a Friday appearance on ABC News’ “The View,” Adams told the left-leaning panel that the Democratic Party lost the election because it failed to prioritize addressing issues that impact everyday Americans.

‘What are we doing for everyday people in the country?’

“What you saw in this city and this election, when you saw a shift in the city and the state becoming redder, is because we stopped talking about working-class people issues,” Adams stated. “What moms and pops are afraid, ‘I can’t pay my college tuition. The rent is too damn high. Health care is too expensive.’ We stopped talking to everyday New Yorkers and Americans.”

Adams explained that working-class Americans are far more concerned about affordability than fascism. He seemed to criticize Democrats for campaigning on comparing President-elect Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.

“When I’m in the street talking to them, they’re not asking me, ‘Tell me about fascism,'” Adams claimed. “They’re talking about finance. They’re not talking about Hitler; they’re talking about housing. We need to talk to everyday, working-class people, and we stopped doing that.”

Co-host Joy Behar pushed back on Adams’ comments, arguing that Democrats did address those issues.

“Part of the business of campaigning is getting your message out and being clear with your message,” Adams replied. “Even the experts in their party were saying, ‘Get back to the message.’ What are we doing for everyday people in the country? And this same thing happened in 2022. When I got elected in 2022, I stated that, ‘Listen, we need to be talking about crime in this country.’ They ignored it. We lost the election. During 2023, I said we had to deal with this migrant-asylum issue. It was on the top one or two issues in the country. We ignored it. We have to go back and talk to those issues that people are worried about.”

Since April 2022, more than 210,000 foreign nationals have arrived in New York City. The city’s taxpayers have spent over $2.3 billion to provide accommodations for the migrants.

While President-elect Donald Trump has spent the last few days publicizing his provocative Cabinet nominations, newly elected Senate GOP leader John Thune said that “all the options” are on the table for their confirmation process.

Trump’s Cabinet nominations have sparked a slew of controversies. Most notably, Trump nominated former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Department of Health and Human Services as well as Republican former Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida for attorney general.

“We’re gonna work with him to see that he gets his team installed as quickly as possible so he can implement his agenda,” Thune said in a Fox News interview Thursday.

‘But we also are not going to allow the Democrats to obstruct or block President Trump and the will of the American people,’ Thune said.

“All these nominees are, it’s a, you know, advise and consent,” Thune continued. “That’s the Senate’s constitutional role when it comes to confirmation of nominations to the executive branch of government, and we take that role seriously.”

Over the weekend, Trump demanded that the three Senate GOP hopefuls publicly support recess appointments. With recess appointments, the incoming Trump administration would be able to appoint nominees to federal positions without the Senate’s approval.

Otherwise, all nominations would need to be approved by the Senate with a simple majority. Since Republicans will hold 53 seats, and with Vice President-elect JD Vance working as a tiebreaker, each candidate will be able to lose only three Republican votes and still be confirmed.

“But we also are not going to allow the Democrats to obstruct or block President Trump and the will of the American people,” Thune said.

A woman who reportedly began a monthlong stint as a substitute teacher at Beverly Hills High School on Nov. 4 — the day before the presidential election — said Wednesday she was fired for her “private FB posts criticizing [Make America Great Again] & the behavior of students at their MAGA rally on campus.”

“I was shocked; I thought I’d get a warning,” Joanie Garratt told the Los Angeles Times. “I didn’t say anything [about Trump] in class. I know not to say anything in class. But I am disgusted with MAGA, and Beverly Hills High School has become MAGA.”

‘They have no idea what they have unleashed. SCOTUS gave him free rein, Congress kisses his ass so there are no checks & balances. I have zero respect for America. I’m ashamed to be American.’

Garratt retired last year after teaching at the Beverly Hills Unified School District for almost 30 years, the Times said, adding that she was outraged by the Wednesday call from an assistant superintendent firing her. Garratt told the Times her online political posts were cited as the reason for her dismissal.

“I WEAR THIS AS BADGE OF HONOR and stand with all the teachers, past & present, who will be persecuted for expressing their views in public forum,” she wrote Wednesday on Facebook. “SHAME ON BHUSD.”

The Times said a district spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to the paper’s request for comment regarding Garratt’s firing.

During her stint as a substitute teacher — just over a week — Garratt made numerous statements in posts and in comments on her Facebook page.

On Sunday, for example, she posted that “sixty-six percent of Jews voted for [Kamala] Harris. Thank goodness my own people did not abandon our liberal democratic tradition.” In a comment under the same post, Garratt wrote that “it bothers me that some of my tribe aligned with the devil.”

In comments under her Saturday post highlighting a message from the high school’s student newspaper against pro-MAGA activity on campus, Garratt wrote the following:

“They have no idea what they have unleashed. SCOTUS gave him free rein, Congress kisses his ass so there are no checks & balances. I have zero respect for America. I’m ashamed to be American.”

“Don’t want to see that ugly rapist, criminal, traitor gloat.”

“They worship a fascist.””I wouldn’t send my kids there today. Oh how [Beverly Hills Unified School District] has fallen from what it was… morally & academically.””I would advise private school now. … It’s not the stellar district that hired me in 1993. I was so proud to be a teacher here in this District. Now we’re a MAGA satellite.”

The paper added that Garratt had a history of anti-Trump posts on Facebook prior to the district asking her to take the substitute teaching gig.

The Times said Garratt on Nov. 7 wrote on Facebook that pro-Trump students “harassed & intimidated many other non-MAGA students and specifically targeted the class where the Black Student Union was meeting, yelling all kinds of racial slurs.”

A teacher allegedly departed from class at Cerritos High School last week because a student was wearing “Make America Great Again” attire.An English teacher from Chino High School was placed on administrative leave after freaking out in class over a student wearing a Trump hat.An Advanced Placement world history teacher from Valley View High School was placed on administrative leave after going on a profane rant in class against Trump.

Outside the Golden State, a Connecticut special-ed teacher threatened Trump voters in a viral video and then tried to explain herself in a tearful on-camera interview after resigning from her position.

There is a pattern developing with regard to President-elect Donald Trump’s recent nominations: He announces someone apparently well suited to executing the agenda he successfully campaigned on; those with vested interests in the status quo panic; and establishmentarians viciously attack the nominees, pleading with nominal Republicans in the U.S. Senate to prevent their confirmation.

This pattern has been repeated for multiple picks, including
former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Although virtually all of Trump’s nominations have ruffled feathers, his choice of Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard to serve as the director of national intelligence appears to have inspired a special kind of unease among Democratic lawmakers, the liberal media, and elements of the intelligence community.

The media

The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols rushed to
characterize Gabbard’s nomination as a “national security risk,” complaining that she previously suggested NATO might have had something to do with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and that Syria did not pose a direct threat to the United States.

“Gabbard is a classic case of ‘horseshoe’ politics,” Nichols warned. “Her views can seem both extremely left and extremely right, which is probably why people such as Tucker Carlson — a conservative who has turned into … whatever pro-Russia right-wingers are called now — have taken a liking to the former Democrat (who was previously a Republican and is now again a member of the GOP).”

The Washington Examiner’s Tom Rogan
suggested that by nominating Gabbard, Trump — who was kneecapped in his first term by a malignant counterintelligence investigation and whose 2020 political adversary was given narrative cover prior to the election by CIA contractors and intelligence community alumni — “is putting his distrust of the intelligence community before the critical interests of national security.”

After trotting out the Syria and Russia-themed attacks against Gabbard, then insinuating that she is a sympathizer with the communist Chinese regime, Rogan warned that if confirmed, she would supervise “all U.S. intelligence agencies’ collection, analysis, and mission efforts and the production and dissemination of the U.S. government’s most sensitive intelligence reporting and analysis. This includes knowledge of spies buried deep inside foreign governments and terrorist organizations.”

‘This appointment is sending shock waves here in the United States.’

Bill Kristol quoted Jonathan Last, editor of the neocon blog the Bulwark, as writing, “Making Gabbard DNI simply makes no sense. … Or rather, it makes no sense for America. For Russia, DNI Gabbard makes all the sense in the world.”

Last appeared particularly upset over Gabbard’s opposition to fruitless foreign entanglements and ineffectual U.S. sanctions.

Dems and spooks spooked

“This appointment is sending shock waves here in the United States but also around the globe,” John Brennan, former director of the CIA and chief counterterrorism adviser to former President Barack Obama,
said in conversation with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace.

Brennan, one of the signatories of the infamous Hunter Biden “intel” letter, likened the 18 intelligence agencies that Gabbard would oversee to an orchestra, suggesting that she likely doesn’t even know what instruments are being played.

Former Bush adviser John Bolton, a key proponent of America’s disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq,
suggested to NewsNation’s “The Hill” that with Trump’s “announcement of Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence, he’s sending a signal that we have lost our mind when it comes to collecting intelligence.”

One former senior intelligence official who spoke under the condition of anonymity
told Politico that the choice was a “left turn and off the bridge.”

Another intelligence official warned that America’s allies, including Israel, might withhold information from Washington if Gabbard were the DNI, adding, “What some allies share may now be shaped by political goals rather than professional intelligence sharing.”

An unnamed “Western security source” similarly
suggested to Reuters that Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand may be less forthcoming about the intelligence they collect, stressing that foreign nations believe Trump’s appointments all lean in the “wrong direction.”

Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger (Va.), a former CIA officer who now warms a chair on the House Intelligence Committee,
suggested on X that Gabbard, who served in Iraq and Kuwait, would be an oath-breaker.

“The men and women of the U.S. Intelligence community honor their oaths by collecting the vital intelligence that keeps our fellow Americans safe. The global threats we face require a Director of National Intelligence who would do the same. Tulsi Gabbard is not that person,” wrote Spanberger.

The former spook, echoing Nichols, appears to have unwittingly highlighted what has the establishment panicking,
telling The Hill, “The DNI has access to every single secret that the United States has, every single bit of information that we know. … It’s the keys to the intelligence community kingdom.”

Larry Pfeiffer, former chief of staff at the CIA under the Bush administration, told The Hill, “Some of the statements she has made through the years that sound like they came right out of the Kremlin’s talking points paper are a little bit alarming. Her cozying up to Bashar al-Assad and being an apologist for him as well just raise questions in my mind. Is that really the best person to put in charge of this very complicated, very sensitive operation that is the U.S. intel community?”

Jamil Jaffer, a former House Intelligence Committee staffer and national security prosecutor, told The Hill, “What is unusual here is you’ve got somebody who’s had such a long and vociferous track record of saying things that are factually incorrect, that seem to give aid and comfort to U.S. adversaries and that undermine the very people they should be representing at the principals committee.”

As with Hegseth and Gaetz’s critics, those denouncing Gabbard appear to be exponents of the very worldview and policy conventions that Trump was effectively elected to obliterate.

Sydney Sweeney has one word for the notion that women are any less vicious than men when it comes to rising to the top of Hollywood’s eat-or-be-eaten food chain.

Fake!

The “Anyone But You” actress recently called BS on the industry’s cloying “women empowering other women” narrative.

Sweeney should know. Back in April, veteran producer Carol Baum launched an out-of-nowhere attack on the up-and-comer.

‘All of it is fake and a front for all the other s**t that they say behind everyone’s back.’

“There’s an actress who everybody loves now: Sydney Sweeney. I don’t get Sydney Sweeney,” Baum griped. “I was watching on the plane Sydney Sweeney’s movie [‘Anyone but You’] because I wanted to watch it. I wanted to know who she is and why everybody’s talking about her. I watched this unwatchable movie — sorry to people who love this … romantic comedy where they hate each other.”

Baum threat

Baum — whose credits include “Dead Ringers,” “Father of the Bride,” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and who also works as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts — added, “I said to my class, ‘Explain this girl to me. She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’ Nobody had an answer.”

“How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman,” Sweeney’s rep responded.

“If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms. Baum’s character.”

Claws out

Sweeney opened up about Baum’s catty conniption in a recent interview with Vanity Fair:

“It’s very disheartening to see women tear other women down, especially when women who are successful in other avenues of their industry see younger talent working really hard — hoping to achieve whatever dreams that they may have — and then trying to bash and discredit any work that they’ve done,” the 27-year-old Sweeney responded.

“This entire industry, all people say is ‘women empowering other women.’ None of it’s happening,” Sweeney continued. “All of it is fake and a front for all the other s**t that they say behind everyone’s back.”

High school with money

Sweeney is not the only star to feel Tinseltown’s mean girl vibes. Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence have also commented on the tendency for female performers to become a target when they’re at their professional peak.

Sweeney thinks she knows why. “I’ve read that our entire lives, we were raised — and it’s a generational problem — to believe only one woman can be at the top. There’s one woman who can get the man. There’s one woman who can be, I don’t know, anything.”

“So then all the others feel like they have to fight each other or take that one woman down instead of being like, Let’s all lift each other up,” Sweeney concluded. “I’m still trying to figure it out. I’m just trying my best over here. Why am I getting attacked?”

As Blaze News reported in August 2022, liberals attempted to cancel Sweeney because guests at her mother’s 60th birthday party were wearing “Make America Great Again” inspired hats and a “blue lives matter” shirt.

The celebrity actress brushed off the outrage, “You guys, this is wild. An innocent celebration for my mom’s milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone and Happy Birthday Mom!”

Every single one of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks has been followed by immediate wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left, but the award for the most controversial pick goes to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who is nominated to the role of attorney general.

Steve Deace, however, is “here for it” — not just for the appointment of Gaetz but for the full panel Trump has chosen to be in his administration and their collective mentality to “[bring] this whole thing down.”

“This is Hulk smash,” says Deace in reference to Trump’s appointees.

However, “this Cabinet appointment of Gaetz is the biggest middle-finger appointment in the history of the U.S. presidency,” he says.

While Steve isn’t sure if Gaetz is “a righteous person,” as “there are serious [sex trafficking] allegations against [him],” he also knows that this DOJ has no qualms about “indicting Republicans or conservatives,” especially the anti-establishment type.

If the allegations against Gaetz, who is undeniably a firebrand, are true, why hasn’t he been indicted already?

Steve says that there are two possibilities here: One, “this Department of Justice knowingly allowed a creeper to sit in a congressional seat for the last few years.” Or two, “they don’t have the goods, and they’re smearing [Gaetz].”

However, Steve says there’s “a way we get clarity.”

“Let’s have a confirmation hearing. … Why don’t we just call witnesses, [Gaetz] calls his, people testify, and let’s find out?” he proposes.

Some may think that a hearing is impossible now that Gaetz has resigned his congressional seat and Congress no longer has jurisdiction over him, but Steve says the investigators can “still release their report.”

“Are you guys just sick of being told stuff but never being shown stuff?” Steve asks in frustration. “I sure as hell am.”

To hear more, watch the episode above.

Mike Tyson gave an honest and shocking answer to a child reporter who asked him what he thinks his lasting legacy will be in his sport.

Ahead of a press conference for his Friday night fight on Netflix against boxer Jake Paul, Tyson was interviewed by child star Jazlyn Guerra who hosts “Jazzy’s World.”

While Guerra asked Tyson about his love for pigeons and what makes him happy, it was a question about his legacy that brought out a deep philosophical answer from the former heavyweight champion.

“You are setting a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time,” Guerra began.

“After such a successful career, what type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it’s all said and done?” she asked.

The young reporter may not have been ready for what Tyson was about to unleash.

“I don’t believe in the word legacy, I just think that’s another word for ‘ego.’ Legacy doesn’t mean nothing, that’s just some word everybody grabbed onto,” Tyson explained.

The 58-year-old then added that he doesn’t care about his legacy because he is going to die:

“It means absolutely nothing to me, I’m just passing through. I’m gonna die, and it’s going to be over. Who cares about a legacy after that?” he asked rhetorically.

Tyson continued, “What a big ego … so I’m [going to] die, I want people to think that I’m this, I’m great? No. We’re nothing, we’re dead, we’re dust. We’re absolutely nothing, our legacy is nothing.”

The 14-year-old, perhaps not expecting a lesson on the fragility of life, simply replied, “Well, thank you so much for sharing that.”

“That is something I have not heard before,” she noted.

The boxer wasn’t done with his teachings on the ego, however, and his further remarks certainly helped a clip from the interview go viral.

“Can you really imagine somebody saying, ‘I want my legacy to be this way’? You’re dead! Why do you want somebody … you think somebody really wants to think about you? I want people to think about me when I’m gone? Who the f*** cares about me when I’m gone?” Tyson prophesied.

The New York native did concede, however, that maybe his kids or grandchildren would care about him when he’s deceased.

The young reporter handled Tyson’s blunt responses in stride and spoke to the boxer about suffering through adversity in rough areas of New York.

“Adversity is beautiful, I’m so happy I endured it,” Tyson told the teen. “Adversity makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker. Without adversity, we’re nobody. You have to be tested in life.”

As for his November 15 opponent, Tyson said it remains to be seen how seriously he takes the sport.

“I don’t think much of him, I think he’s very funny,” Tyson added.
