The People Have Spoken - Now, Politicians Must Listen

Those who are surprised by the outcome of the election must not have been paying close attention for the past four years. Listening to the public was, in fact, the deciding factor in the presidential contest, and the differing willingness to do so reflected the two parties’ current political philosophies.
For well over a year, the American people had been expressing deep concern about issues such as the economy, immigration, crime, and the government’s micromanagement of relations between the sexes, such as men competing in women’s sports. The public consistently said they did not trust the government.
The public knew very well what had caused the problems. The Biden-Harris administration had engaged in nearly four years of intensive centralization of power, with the White House exerting ever-tighter and more-politicized control over the economy, energy production, the nation’s schools, the personnel composition of the military and other institutions, crime and border control, and countless other areas of life, while conspiring with media companies to censor opposing viewpoints. Biden and Harris presided over the development of an enormous political spoils system and a forced, nationwide demographic transformation.

The Two Things to Take Into Account As the Gaetz Ethics Report Begins to Leak

There are some things where you know what the ending will be. With former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has been nominated as our next attorney general, the ethics report about his alleged activities was the dark cloud hanging over his head. We knew it would leak, as there were too many avenues for this not to happen. The Democratic staffers and investigators who helped compile it and the overall adage that this is Washington—no one can keep a secret.
The House Ethics Committee met today to discuss releasing the report. Gaetz resigned shortly after his nomination, ending the probe. The committee was deadlocked, preventing the required majority to release the findings. House Speaker Mike Johnson also asked lawmakers on this committee to quash the report.
The New York Times released a story about the Venmo transactions involving Mr. Gaetz shortly after the House Ethics Committee's decision. Two things need to be at the forefront of all of this, and I, at times, have been remiss in mentioning this, so apologies, folks: One, the report isn’t complete. Two, Gaetz was never charged.
It’s a familiar rumor mill we saw with the Supreme Court battle over Justice Brett Kavanaugh—a ton of bluster and innuendo but nothing of substance. There’s no police report or anything to accuse Mr. Gaetz of illegality. And if we’re being honest, when it comes to ethics, there would be a report on everyone who works on the Hill. It’s a snake pit.
Yet, we know the liberal media won’t be able to control themselves. The View’s Sunny Hostin had to read a legal note after some of her remarks on the show could’ve landed the production in legal trouble. She fumed, delivering the note on air.
NEW: The View host Sunny Hostin fumes as she is forced to read a legal note just minutes after presenting the Matt Gaetz allegations as a “fact.”
Hostin: They discussed the fact that once [Gaetz] finds out that she's 17, he stops having s*x with her.
Hostin 3 min later: Matt… pic.twitter.com/USvYjnWqKZ
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 20, 2024
In short, we knew this was an issue. The leaks would happen regardless of what the House Ethics Committee decided. Their opting not to release the report only hastened that outcome. And Mr. Gaetz has denied all allegations, with no formal charges brought against him by the Biden Justice Department.
Vice President-elect JD Vance was seen with Mr. Gaetz meeting with Republican Senators to drum up support for a man Trump is “all in” on regarding confirmation.

On Wednesday morning, President-elect Donald Trump announced that former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, will once more serve in his administration, though it's quite the different role this time. For the second Trump term, Whitaker will serve as the United States Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The statement not only focused on Whitaker's past roles, but also his commitment to America First policies and that he's from Iowa.
As the statement read:
I am pleased to announce that former Acting Attorney General, Matthew G. Whitaker, from the Great State of Iowa, will be the United States Ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Matt is a strong warrior and loyal Patriot, who will ensure the United States' interests are advanced and defended. Matt will strengthen relationships with our NATO Allies, and stand firm in the face of threats to Peace and Stability - He will put AMERICA FIRST.
I have full confidence in Matt’s ability to represent the United States with Strength, Integrity, and unwavering Dedication. I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to promote PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, Freedom, and Prosperity around the World.
Matt is also the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, and is a graduate of the University of Iowa with a B.A., MBA and J.D., where he played football, and received the Big Ten Medal of Honor.
Whitaker served as the Acting Attorney General from November 2018-February 2019, before he was succeeded by Attorney General William Barr. He has since served as the co-chair of the Center for Law & Justice at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI).

Trump Eyeing Dan Bongino to Helm Secret Service
Matt Vespa

President-elect Donald J. Trump is reportedly closing in on a familiar name to helm the United States Secret Service, which has been marred by controversy regarding its serial failure to protect the incoming president during his July rally at Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot during that assassination attempt. The incident led to the resignation of director Kimberly Cheatle, Jill Biden’s gal pal, for the incompetence that was unearthed, which led to bipartisan outrage. That’s why Mr. Trump is eying former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino to helm the agency. And yes, the headline for the CNN piece about this pick was outrageous (via CNN):

Trump-American culture vs. elite culture

COMMENTARY
By Newt Gingrich - Wednesday, November 20, 2024
OPINION:
The most unexplored and ignored aspect of President-elect Donald Trump’s nine-year odyssey is that, despite his wealth, his habits appeal to a far larger share of Americans than the elite passions for fine food and highbrow books, movies and television.
This struck me as I watched the coverage of Mr. Trump’s trip to Madison Square Garden for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Saturday. As Mr. Trump ate McDonald’s on his plane, it occurred to me that there is a cultural appeal that endears Mr. Trump to most Americans.
People have often said that politics is downstream from culture. Usually, they mean intellectual and artistic culture defines politics. The theory is that what the professors teach this decade may shape the political debate a decade from now.
This definition is too narrow. Culture can also be about what people like and with what they are comfortable.
Mr. Trump’s personal and recreational choices dwarf the attractiveness of liberals in the same zones.
On Saturday night, Mr. Trump went to Madison Square Garden to watch a UFC event with Dana White, CEO of UFC. Mr. Trump was accompanied by Elon Musk, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Robert F Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kid Rock, and his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
When Mr. Trump entered the arena, the standing-room-only crowd began chanting “USA.” Joe Rogan, the most successful podcaster in the world, commented that the noise was unbelievable because people were so enthusiastic. Mr. Rogan has long been a UFC commentator. His podcast interview with Mr. Trump attracted more than 40 million watchers and listeners — and had a bigger audience than the opening game of the World Series.
Liberals’ reaction to this outing explains a lot about their failure to understand the cultural and political revolutions that are underway.
The Daily Beast reported: “Panelists on CNN’s Inside Politics compared Donald Trump to tyrannical Roman emperor Julius Caesar after he attended a UFC event in New York last night. The panelists mocked Trump’s attendance at the event.”
To say that they just don’t get it is an extreme understatement.
The key insight for me was the picture of Mr. Trump, Mr. Musk, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Johnson and Donald Trump Jr. eating McDonald’s on the plane. Donald Trump Jr. cheerfully held up the box of french fries his father had been giving out a few weeks ago at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania.
As I’ve written before, an estimated 87% of Americans visit McDonald’s at least once a year. Further, 40 million Americans have worked at McDonald’s, including Jeff Bezos. In terms of cultural identification, it would have been hard to top Mr. Trump selling french fries at the drive-thru window.
Because Mr. Trump made his career building properties, he has a knack with blue-collar workers. This has been a major part of the enormous transition of the GOP into the workers’ party.
Oprah Winfrey talked Mr. Trump into letting her film him at his Chicago hotel doing various jobs in 2011. You can watch him walking a dog for a customer (and asking if he has earned a tip). Here is a future president working as a waiter and loading luggage. After you watch that, you will better understand how comfortable he was riding in a garbage truck and wearing the vest of a garbage collector.
Sports may be the biggest gap between liberals and most Americans. When discussing culture, we must remember that virtually all sports favor winning, working hard, striving for excellence, showing endurance and getting back up when knocked down. “Fight, fight, fight” is the mantra of competitive athletes.
Liberals’ contempt for sports is even greater than its contempt for McDonald’s. Yet the market for sports among Americans is enormous.
An estimated 1 billion people watch World Wrestling Entertainment each week. Linda McMahon is the WWE’s co-founder and co-chair of the Trump transition. Millions have watched the “Battle of the Billionaires” when Mr. Trump tackled WWE co-owner Vince McMahon back in 2007 (it’s still on YouTube and still hilarious).
Golf is also a constant part of Mr. Trump’s life. An estimated 45 million Americans play golf, and an estimated 40% of all Americans (135 million) read about it or watch it on TV.
Football, especially the NFL, is an enormous draw on television. “Sunday Night Football” has averaged more than 20 million viewers every Sunday for the last six weeks. There was a classic irony when “Saturday Night Live” (audience about 5.6 million) gave Vice President Kamala Harris enough coverage that NBC felt constrained to give the same amount of time to Mr. Trump on “Sunday Night Football” (over 20 million viewers).
The conservative pro-sports culture outdrew the liberal comedy show nearly 4-1. That’s a pretty good yardstick for the relative appeal of the Trump competitive worldview and the shrinking base of the left-wing worldview.
This concept of a cultural divide is worthy of more study and may explain more than traditional political analysis.
It’s also the biggest aspect of Mr. Trump’s appeal that liberals simply don’t get.

Wray on the way out? Vance, Trump are interviewing FBI candidates

By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 20, 2024
Vice President-elect J.D. Vance confirmed that he and President-elect Donald Trump are talking to FBI director candidates, which suggests Mr. Trump plans to fire current FBI Director Christopher Wray.
In a post on his X account Tuesday, which has since been deleted, Mr. Vance said he missed a Senate vote Monday to confirm a judicial nominee appointed by President Biden because “I was meeting with President Trump to interview multiple positions for our government, including for FBI director.”
He posted, “I tend to think it’s more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45. But that’s just me.”
People being considered for the position include former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, whom FBI institutionalists are backing for the post, and former Trump National Security Council senior adviser Kash Patel, favored by grassroots conservatives.

Trump’s Cabinet speaks for America
Incoming administration already off to a strong start

COMMENTARY
By Peter Navarro - Tuesday, November 19, 2024
OPINION:
Actions speak louder than words. That’s the clear message of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet selections thus far. He has clearly signaled his intention to fulfill campaign promises on a number of issues.
Mr. Trump’s first appointment wasn’t a Cabinet selection. On Nov. 10, Tom Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was named border czar. This signaled in no uncertain terms that Mr. Trump intends to secure the border and begin mass deportations.
Together, Mr. Homan and Mr. Trump’s pick for secretary of homeland security, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, will constitute the velvet hammer when the far left starts to whine about a more muscular immigration policy.
Mr. Trump has also nominated Army National Guard veteran and Fox News star Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe for CIA director.
Mr. Ratcliffe signals a long-overdue cleanup of the intelligence community, which has waged war against Mr. Trump since the 2016 Russia hoax — which Mr. Ratcliffe, along with Kash Patel, helped expose.

Trump Applauds Guilty Verdict in Laken Riley Murder
By Solange Reyner | Wednesday, 20 November 2024 03:07 PM EST
The guilty conviction Wednesday of Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra for murdering Laken Riley on the University of Georgia's campus can hopefully "help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families don't have to go through what they have," President-elect Donald Trump said.
"The Illegal who killed our beloved Laken Riley was just found GUILTY on all counts for his horrific crimes," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "Although the pain and heartbreak will last forever, hopefully this can help bring some peace and closure to her wonderful family who fought for Justice, and to ensure that other families don't have to go through what they have.
"We love you, Laken, and our hearts will always be with you. It is time to secure our Border, and remove these criminals and thugs from our Country, so nothing like this can happen again!"
Ibarra, 26, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the maximum possible, by Judge Patrick Haggard in Athens, Georgia.
