If I wanted a Soros-heavy administration, I’d have voted for Kamala Harris.

Swamp alert: Trump reportedly eyeing a George Soros ally as Treasury Secretary; Olivia Murray  "This isn’t to guarantee success, but it seems like we little people have little recourse when it comes time to President Trump’s administration contenders, except to expose them before they become official.

"With that in mind, let’s take a look at Scott Bessent, Trump’s rumored selection for Secretary of the Treasury; according to a new report at Reuters, Bessent is the main candidate now that billionaire John Paulson has withdrawn his name from consideration because of “complex financial obligations” that precluded him from (presumably) ethically serving in the position.

"Well, I neither trust Bessent to serve ethically, nor do I trust him to serve patriotically—he was (maybe still is?) a very close and trusted colleague of George Soros, having served as a partner at Soros Fund Management, eventually becoming the head of the firm’s London outfit.

"Bessent spent decades working alongside Soros undermining economic stability of nations around the world—he played a central role in the “Black Wednesday” financial meltdown in which the Soros empire “broke the Bank of England” by betting against the British pound.  As a result, Soros’s team, including Bessent, netted over $1 billion in ill-gotten gains. Later, Bessent made the same play against the yen:" . . .

 lex Soros Celebrates Reports of Biden Approving Ukraine Missile Strikes in Russia as ‘Great News’

"Democrat mega-donor Alex Soros has hailed the reported decision by outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to use American-made long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia.

"On Sunday, legacy media outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal reported — citing unnamed U.S. officials — that with just two months left in his term, President Biden had reversed course and signed off on Kyiv using Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to strike targets within Russia.

"Previously, the 81-year-old Democrat had been wary of making such a decision over widespread concerns that long-range strikes with American arms could spark an escalation in the conflict between Western nations and the world’s largest nuclear power.

"Apparently, unconcerned with the potential of an escalation, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Open Society Foundations Alex Soros wrote on X, “This is great news!” in response to a report about the sign off on ATACMS strikes inside Russia." . . .

Melania Trump Speaks Out About Jill Biden — ‘She Referred to My Husband as Evil and a Liar’

And Jill's husband's face was distorted with hate when his three speeches at Freedom Hall, the SOTU, and the DNC Convention made a strong case for Trump to be killed. TD

"The former model continued, “It was obvious that the onslaught of rhetoric from Democrat leaders and the mainstream media was so deeply embedded in our nation’s consciousness it prompted an attempt to assassinate Donald.”

Broc Smith

Cassandra MacDonald   "The interview went viral after news broke that she would not meet the current First Lady during her husband’s trip to the White House.

"Mrs.Trump revealed that Jill Biden called her after the assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump in October but wonders if her “concern was genuine,” given the inflammatory way she had been speaking of him on the campaign trail.

:“I do question, however, whether Jill’s concern was genuine, as a few days prior she referred to my husband as ‘evil’ and a ‘liar,’” she told French outlet Paris Match.

"The former model continued, “It was obvious that the onslaught of rhetoric from Democrat leaders and the mainstream media was so deeply embedded in our nation’s consciousness it prompted an attempt to assassinate Donald.”

"Mrs. Trump said that after the assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally, she was relieved “my husband was safe,” but was upset about the political environment that prompted it.

"“They want Donald out. They won’t stop. Has the concept of ‘respect’ become antiquated?” she asked. “The Democrat political engine peddles harsh words, vile names, and labels our nation’s 45th president ‘a threat to democracy.’”

" 'People today are so desensitized they actually joke about killing a former US president,” Mrs. Trump continued. “It is undeniable that this type of speech created a toxic political environment.”

"Mrs. Trump made headlines this week for her refusal to join Jill Biden for tea, a tradition that normally occurs during the presidential transition period.

“Mrs. Trump will not be attending today’s meeting at the White House. Her husband’s return to the Oval Office to commence the transition process is encouraging, and she wishes him great success,” Melania Trump’s team said in a statement about the invite.

"Unnamed sources allegedly close to the former and future First Lady told the New York Post that her reason for skipping tea was the raid on Mar-a-Lago in 2022.

"Mrs. Trump met with Michelle Obama after the 2016 election but did not have tea with Jill Biden in 2020." . . .

As Biden and Trump smile cordially, Jill Biden cuts Kamala Harris dead

   "For now, it looks like the pair of them are headed to opposite coasts and can't get away from one another soon enough. Jill is headed for a cushy retirement with Joe, while Kamala will seek the California governor's office, which she could win, given the repulsiveness of her Democrat rivals, or could lose, given the rightward swing of California in 2024, which is a trend that is likely to continue."

THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE: Republican NBC Guest Delivers Harsh Reality Check to Those Trashing RFK Jr., Burns Jen Psaki When She Rudely Interrupts

 The Gateway Pundit

"The haters coming out for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continue to humiliate themselves in grand fashion with inane defenses of Big Pharma and nasty smears.

"The Gateway Pundit reported that President Trump selected Robert Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary

"RFK Jr. has put together a bold plan to rid the FDA and other key federal agencies of the deeply-rooted cronyism that puts corporate profits over public health.

"Kennedy’s crosshairs include the FDA, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

On NBC’s Meet The Press Sunday, Lanhee Chen, a fellow at The Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and disgraced former White House press secretary Jen Psaki were brought on to discuss RFK, Jr.’s nomination. Chen, a Republican, had some harsh news to share with those questioning RFK Jr.’s qualifications for the job.

He pointed out that the current HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra, had no experience in the healthcare field and only received his position due to political connections.

“Let’s not forget — we had a nominee for HHS secretary in THIS administration who had never dealt with health care before being nominated,” Chen pointed out.

"Psaki interjected and tried to defend Becerra’s nomination by the Biden regime despite his lack of qualifications for the job.

“ 'I’m not here to defend, but he was the Attorney General for the state of California,” she tried to ‘explain.’

"But Chen quickly interjected with a rapid-fire response that blew up her lame argument.

“So he had experience suing healthcare companies, but not anything to do with healthcare,” he fired back." . . .

One Month In, And The Gov’t Is Already $257 Billion In The Red

"This is what a revolution looks like. Strap in." I&I Editorial Board

I & I Editorial Board   "On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would head the “Department of Government Efficiency.” That same day, the Treasury Department released a report showing why this effort is so desperately needed.

In his announcement, Trump said that he’s assigned the two to “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.” It will, he said, “become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.”

"At Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in late October, Musk, when asked how much he thought he could “rip out of this $6.5 trillion Harris-Biden budget,” said: “Well, I think we could do at least $2 trillion.”

"Washington insiders scoffed at the entire idea of a “government efficiency” department or that these two government outsiders could somehow find $2 trillion to cut.

"The truth is a Manhattan Project-level effort will be needed to restore a semblance of fiscal responsibility to the federal government.

"This week, the Treasury Department released its first report of the new fiscal year, which began in October.

"What it found was that in just the first month, the federal government ran a deficit of $257 billion. That compares with a deficit of $66 billion in October 2023.

"The massive jump is the result of a $76.6 billion drop in revenues compared with last year and a $114 billion hike in spending." . . . 

The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins

  Jerome R. Corsi

Finally, under no condition should Trump appear in a New York City courtroom (or anywhere else in New York City) until after January 20, 2025. A Trump decision to continue directing the transition from within the confines of Mar-a-Lago until Inauguration Day would be prudent.

"In a video posted on X on November 7, 2024, two days after the election, Trump detailed a plan to dismantle the Deep State. In this three-minute video, Trump explained how he would take a series of measures to “shatter the Deep State.”

"In this video, Trump made the same mistake JFK made when JFK said he was going to break the CIA into a thousand pieces after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. By announcing his intention in advance, JFK signed his death warrant. Trump has now declared war on the Deep State as president-elect.

"Because he spoke before he was inaugurated, giving him the power to act, Trump alerted the Deep State that he represented an existential threat to its survival. The bottom line is that the Deep State cannot afford for Trump to become president on January 20, 2025.

"Trump put the Deep State on notice that his first order of business was to investigate and prosecute in three areas:

"1. The two assassination attempts on his life, with its indisputable charge that some in the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security showed criminal negligence, forcing those individuals to cooperate with the special counsel;

"2. The weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI, and certain intelligence agencies against President Trump’s 2016 and 2024 campaigns and Trump personally, going back to 2015, with emphasis upon exposing the truth about the “Russia collusion hoax” and the Mueller investigation farce; and

"3. The voter fraud that stole the 2020 presidential election, based on the discovery of secret cryptographic algorithms embedded in State Board of Elections voter registration files to facilitate the creation, hiding, and voting of falsified “voters” to be available for use in various election fraud schemes, with particular focus on mail-in ballot irregularities." . . .

How can one mistake the Jerusalem Cross for the swastika? The political thought that gave us "The View", Maxine Waters, MSNBC, Adam Schiff clones now gives us the holy order of the swastika.

 Becca Lower

 "The Jerusalem cross is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world and one  just a few examples of the different types of crosses created throughout the history of my faith. All my grandchildren wear one. The anti-Catholicism in the news world is breathtaking "

A Little Vatican Apostolate

 "Over the past 24 hours, the people who know Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth the best have thronged to his side in his defense after a Biden administration hack said on MSNBC that Hegseth is "a known white supremacist."

"At the time, it appeared that the radical leftist was upset that he doesn't subscribe to woke policies in the military (and perhaps, anywhere funded by the government). Regardless of the reason, as I wrote, it was so inflammatory that a former White House aide who worked for First Lady Jill Biden felt the need to speak against such a disgusting tactic.

A friend of Hegseth's, Jack Brewer, responded to the slur in an X post, writing:

This is absolutely disgusting and vile. I’ve known @PeteHegseth for many years and I consider him a friend. He has gone above and beyond to support and advance our work to uplift voiceless black people in America and abroad!!

"But the machine that keeps the Democrats' narratives running wasn't finished spreading its dirty work.The latest claim, allegedly proving the future Defense chief is an inveterate white supremacist, comes via the Associated Press, which breathlessly shared some fake news about a tattoo on his arm: 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member due to a tattoo on his bicep that’s associated with white supremacist groups...

This week, however, a fellow Guard member who was the unit’s security manager and on an anti-terrorism team at the time, shared with The Associated Press an email he sent to the unit’s leadership flagging a different tattoo reading “Deus Vult” that’s been used by white supremacists, concerned it was an indication of an “Insider Threat.”

"There's just one problem. This was easily and immediately debunked. Our Townhall colleague, Larry O'Connor, shared a photo of this alleged Nazi iconography... on a Catholic priest: . . .
