During a National Prayer Service for the newly sworn-in President Trump, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington D.C. hijacked the sermon and rebuked Mr. Trump — as he sat right in front of her — for supposedly portraying illegal aliens and transgender children "in the harshest of lights." When Snoop Dogg performed for the Trump Inauguration, Ann Navarro of "The View" — in racist fashion — called the African-American rapper "a trained seal."

Good riddance to the World Health Organization -- more aptly called the Woke Health Oligarchy. On his first day, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from WHO, a necessary step in putting the health of Americans first. Immediately the left-wing media sounded the alarm, quoting globalist-minded scientists at American universities and think tanks falsely claiming that Trump's move will isolate the U.S. from worldwide efforts to detect and limit deadly diseases.

Common ground between the appeal of Donald Trump in 2025 and the appeal of King in 1963 is that both were about the pressing need to be faithful to the founding principles of the country. Trump's MAGA message in 2025 is that the nation has destructively strayed from these principles. King's message in 1963 was that the country failed and was failing to live up to those founding principles. However, common ground for both was and is concurrence about the validity of those founding principles -- a free nation under God -- and the critical importance of being true to them.

Our long national nightmare will end as Joe Biden wanders off aimlessly to run out the clock in Delawarever chasing squirrels and watching “Matlock” while President Donald J. Trump goes the full Grover Cleveland and becomes the 47th President of the United States of America.Biden leaves a legacy of book-ended failures, starting with the disgraceful, bloody rout in Afghanistan and climaxing with the fires in Los Angeles. He was an unmitigated disaster. Everything for the last four years has sucked. 

No Republican has held statewide office in California in 20 years. The last Republican mayor of Los Angeles left office in 2001. Of the 15 members of the Los Angeles City Council, none is a Republican. Of the five Los Angeles County Supervisors, one is a Republican. Democrats hold super-majorities in the California State Assembly and the Senate. Democrats can, and do, pass legislation without a single Republican vote.

New Yorkers, Chicagoans, Denverites and other blue-city residents should feel scared as they watch Los Angeles neighborhoods obliterated by fire. These other cities could be next, victims of the same dysfunctional one-party government that puts woke priorities ahead of disaster prevention and readiness. ​​​​​​​Voters in blue cities had better be watching the destruction and disaster in Los Angeles – and realize that at some point in their futures, they'll get what they voted for too.

Nothing is more effective in politics than someone who switches sides. Some people would call them “traitors,” but I view them more as prostitutes – they go where the money is. But they were where the money was, until the money wasn’t or they learned there was more money playing for the other team. But one thing you’ll notice with all of them is they happily hammered the checks while they were on the other side and they never, ever give the money back. A conscience only goes so far.

The United States faces numerous threats to our homeland, and we need a leader at the helm of the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) who has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting American values, sovereignty, and security. In our view, South Dakota Gov. Kristi L. Noem is that leader.  Her record of leadership, belief in the rule of law, and commitment to public safety are why the South Dakota State Fraternal Order of Police support her.

You can answer that for yourself. But the fact is, the Donald Trump transition is turning out to be quite ... normal. The president-elect is busy hammering out policy proposals and staffing his administration. Democrats are, of course, criticizing Trump and promising to give some of his nominees a hard time in confirmation hearings. But that is the sort of thing one always sees in transitions from one party to the other.

I was watching MSNBC the other day – I know, but it is fun to look into a parallel universe where progressive ideals appeal to the vast majority of Americans, it makes me appreciate reality all the more – and I had to check my phone to make sure I had the right year. You wouldn’t know it was 2024 if you’d just gone by the rhetoric belching its way over the airwaves. Donald Trump is a Russian stooge – a tool of Putin – who is only interested in…well, you know the rest of that song. They learned nothing from the election.

Beginning in the Middle Ages, and lasting beyond the Renaissance, the Doge was the chief magistrate serving as the highest appointed official of the Republic of Venice, one of the freest and most powerful republics in Europe for more than 1,000 years. This role symbolized the sovereignty of the Venetian republic and emphasized protecting freedoms and ensuring efficient governance. Today, the term takes on a new dimension as a framework for modern government reform.

McMahon is the former head of the Small Business Administration. What is particularly enjoyable about this is that academia has long had a disdain for business, especially small business. Plus, the fact that McMahon co-founded World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is quickly turning the academic smirking class into the crying class. The head of the WWE will be in charge of every academic elite across the country? Could this be more beautiful? As Elon Musk has often said, the most ironic outcome is the most likely.

Here's my "Top 10" wish list for the incoming Trump Administration to make America healthy and prosperous and great again in 2025. These are admittedly bold aspirations for an economic transformation toward freedom and free enterprise – but the one person who can get it done is Trump.

In the weeks before the 2016 Trump Electoral College victory, Donald Trump was polling between 35 and 40 percent. He would average only about 41% approval over his tumultuous four-year tenure. No one knows what lies ahead over the next four years. But for now, Trump already polls well over 50% approval. His inauguration in a few weeks will likely not resemble Trump's 2016 ceremony.

The media long ago crafted its narrative that the world would end if Congress ever allowed even a short "Government Shut-Down," or any type of reduction in Federal Spending. The media, the Left, and the D.C. Swamp may refer to it as a "government shutdown," but most Americans – as evidenced by the last election – want a smaller, more efficient and fiscally responsible Federal Government. Yet here we are, once again, with the United States Congress putting its inability to manage its pocketbook on display for the whole world to see.

One of the highest priorities for the incoming Trump Administration should be to end the Democrats' weaponization of powerful government agencies against taxpayers and businesses. Nowhere has this mission been more pernicious than funding the IRS with nearly $80 billion and hire tens of thousands of new tax snoops. The additional audits have so far raised less than $2 billion, far less than the additional expenditures. So how is this program "paying for itself"?

The establishment is up in arms because Donald Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence, and I must admit something – I probably don’t agree with some of the things Tulsi allegedly thinks. I’m generally more hawkish, and she’s generally more dovish. Now, we have to put things in perspective, because what regime media says about Tulsi Gabbard and her beliefs probably has nothing to do with Tulsi Gabbard or her beliefs.

Dear President Trump: Your efforts to fast track an "All of the Above" approach on energy is exactly what this country needs – not just for U.S. Energy Independence, but also for American Energy Dominance and U.S. Energy Security. You won, so obviously we can, should, and will begin drilling again, but the lingering Big Question remains: "Why is Big Oil urging you NOT to Gut Joe Biden’s Climate Laws?" The answer may have something to do with money – i.e. Joe Biden's liberal "Inflation Reduction Act" money. Its worth billions to them.

Serving as the representative of Texas' 142nd District has been the greatest honor of my career. Every day I work tirelessly to improve the lives of my constituents and neighbors – and my work often extends beyond the halls of the Texas Capitol. I support initiatives around the country that I know will uplift my constituents. That's why I'm excited about the potential game-changing impact of Capital One's $265 billion Community Benefits Plan for Black Texans who are often overlooked by financial institutions.

They’ve tried to steal the elections, bankrupt him in court, put him in jail, and there’s even been two attempts on his life. But nonetheless, Donald Trump is still standing, and if he can do this, he'll go down in history as the greatest modern U.S. President – the one who could stop Congress and "The Swamp" from eating America from within. And since it'd be literally impossible for him to run the country any worse than Joe Biden has, why not give him the benefit of the doubt and let him give it the ol' college try?  All we're asking is, give Trump a chance.
