Senior WaPo Editor Reportedly Fired

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was recently reported that one of the Washington Post’s senior editors was fired.

“Scoop: The Washington Post senior politics editor Dan Eggen is being removed from his post at the end of the year,” independent reporter Lachlan Cartwright wrote before sharing Eggen’s message to his former coworkers.

“In a message to colleagues, he writes: ‘I struggled with how to write this message since there is an element of begging to it that is not particularly attractive. But what the hey: I was informed Monday that I will be removed as senior politics editor at the end of the year. I will leave it to others to explain why.’ Eggen says he is ‘crushed’ by the news,” Cartwright wrote.

Cartwright also stated that he reached out to the Post for comment.

The recent news came after the Post’s leadership decided not to endorse any presidential candidate during the 2024 election. Many people, both conservatives and leftists, were shocked when the newspaper announced that. The Post has been infamous for its far-left bias, which became especially evident after President-elect Donald Trump won the 2016 election.

“We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates,” the newspaper’s publisher and chief executive officer, William Lewis, wrote. “Our job at the Washington Post is to provide … nonpartisan news for all Americans, and thought-provoking, reported views from our opinion team to help our readers make up their own minds.”

After that, Jeff Bezos, the Post’s owner, stated in his op-ed that the newspaper should hire more conservative opinion writers to represent every political point of view.

“Our profession is now the least trusted of all. Something we are doing is clearly not working,” he wrote. “Anyone who doesn’t see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose.”

However, it didn’t stop a pro-Trump columnist from leaving the Post after working there for many years.

Ron DeSantis Allegedly Won’t Appoint Matt Gaetz for Open Senate Seat

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was recently reported that Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., won’t appoint former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., for the open Senate seat after President-elect Donald Trump nominated now former Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for Secretary of State.

The National Review reported that DeSantis’s spokesman did not respond to the news outlet. However, the news source added that its inside source claimed that DeSantis would never appoint Gaetz for the open Senate seat.

“He won’t appoint Matt,” the source told the Review.

Since the source is anonymous and DeSantis officially has not confirmed whether he would or would not appoint Gaetz for the vacant position, it is not clear if the information from the source is accurate.

The recent news came after conservatives suggested that DeSantis should appoint Gaetz after he left his position in Congress.

“With Gaetz having resigned his seat in the House, if the Senate tries to reject his AG confirmation, DeSantis can always appoint Gaetz to fill Rubio’s Senate seat. Would be interesting to see senators have to choose between Gaetz as AG or as their colleague for years to come,” CEO and co-founder of The Federalist, Sean Davis, wrote.

Doctor Robert W. Malone, who was previously censored by the Biden-Harris regime, also supported Gaetz’s becoming a senator.

“As Marco Rubio’s Senate seat has become available – maybe Gov. DeSantis will appoint Matt Gaetz?” he wrote.

Others, however, claimed there was no chance that DeSantis would appoint Gaetz for this position.

“Folks, there is a 0% chance Ron DeSantis is giving Matt Gaetz the Senate seat,” conservative commentator Ian Haworth wrote.

The recent information was released after Trump nominated Gaetz for the Attorney General, which resulted in leftists all around the country freaking out about Trump’s recent decision. Conservatives, on the other hand, celebrated Trump’s pick.

After facing the backlash from the mainstream media and RINOs in the Senate, who promised never to confirm him as Attorney General, Gaetz withdrew from the position.

Trump then nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for the position, praising her previous record in the Sunshine State.

Biden Awards Medal of Freedom to Former Planned Parenthood President

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden, who claims to be a Catholic, recently awarded the Medal of Freedom to former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards.

“Today, I had the honor of awarding Cecile Richards the Presidential Medal of Freedom. With absolute courage, she fearlessly leads us forward to be the America we say we are – a nation of freedom,” he wrote.

Biden then praised Richards for participating in the mass murder of unborn babies.

“Through her work to lift up the dignity of workers, defend and advance women’s reproductive rights and equality and mobilize Americans to exercise their power to vote, she has carved an inspiring legacy,” he added.

Richards also responded to Biden’s post by celebrating “abortion rights.”

“Such an honor representing abortion rights and the need for health care for all. @POTUS and @FLOTUS, thank you for all you’ve done to support women’s health and rights. Here’s to the work ahead,” she wrote.

The Hill reported that Richards left Planned Parenthood in 2018 after leading the organization for 12 years to co-found a far-left organization called Supermajority that fights for “gender equity.”

Pro-life activists criticized Biden for giving the award to a woman who was responsible for murdering unborn babies.

“Cecile Richards presided over the abortions of 3.9 million babies as president of Planned Parenthood. She belongs in jail. Not in the White House receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” founder of Live Action Lila Rose wrote.

Rose then stated in another post that Richards was recently diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer, praying that she would become pro-life.

“May her facing her own mortality so intensely help her eyes open to the preciousness of every single life that Planned Parenthood has destroyed,” she wrote.

Co-founder of the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, also criticized Biden’s decision, stating that Richards’s legacy is “millions of dead unborn children.”

Senior Editor of the National Review Dan McLaughlin also claimed that Richards is a “merchant of death.”

“Hard to think of a living person who has killed more Americans,” he wrote.

President of Students for Life Kristan Hawkins also pointed out that a person who allowed “3.5 million children [to die] unspeakably cruel deaths in barbaric acts of abortion” should not receive a Medal of Freedom.

“Some of these children’s bodies were then dissected and sold to the highest bidder. Planned Parenthood representatives haggled over prices for livers and brains. Planned Parenthood’s abortions skyrocketed under Richards even as the organization’s number of total clients plummeted year after year. Cecile Richards is anything but honorable. What a disgrace,” she wrote.

MURDOCK: After Dangerous Demagoguery, Leftists Are Ready to Let Bygones Be Bygones

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) “No one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump,” retired Army General Mark A. Milley told Bob Woodward.

The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff appears in the legendary Washington Post associate editor’s new book, War, released Oct. 15. “Now I realize he’s a total fascist.”

Milley warned voters about the dark days that a Trump victory would unleash. But it seemed like morning in America when Milley revisited this topic on Monday.

“I’ve heard people say, ‘Donald Trump is Hitler’ or Mussolini or whatever. No, he’s not. I know the guy. I know him very well. He’s not Adolf Hitler,” Milley addressed JPMC Talks, an internal forum for JPMorgan Chase personnel.

Milley’s previously unreported remarks continued: “It’s time for people to come together, meet in the middle … and whatever differences you may have had, you put them aside.”

Mark Milley speaks about the need for national reconciliation.

Milley now commands the brand-new “Never Mind!” Brigade.

Its soldiers continuously terrified Americans about a potential Fourth Reich under Oranienführer Donald J. Trump.

Trembling in their combat boots, they predicted that the military would speed Trump’s enemies to concentration camps. Trump’s ruthless, red-capped Storm Troopers would padlock newsrooms and smash printing presses.

Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote. Republicans rescued the U.S. Senate and held the House of Representatives.

So, are Trump’s detractors begging Americans to run for their lives—before it’s too late?

Nope! Trump’s bitterest critics have made peace with Adolf Jr. Who knew this dictator was so fun?

• Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe program, has said that the once and future president was “just going full-on Hitler, talking about vermin.”

Scarborough’s wife and co-host, Mika Brzezinski, complained on Oct. 24 about Trump’s “obsession with Hitler.” She also raged: Trump “is killing us! I’m talking about us women. He’s killing us!”

Bygones were bygones by Nov. 15. At Scarborough’s request, Trump invited “Psycho Joe” and “Crazy Mika” (as he previously branded them) to Mar-a-Lago for breakfast.

“It was the first time we have seen him in seven years,” Brzezinski chirped on-air Monday. “President Trump was cheerful. He was upbeat.”

While Joe said, “we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of issues,” Mika seemed optimistic: “What we did agree on was to restart communications.”

Trump notified Fox News Digital: “The meeting ended in a very positive manner, and we agreed to speak in the future.”

• Vice President Kamala Harris cautioned on CNN that Trump would be “a president who admires dictators and is a fascist.” Just a fortnight later, Kamala warmly conceded to Trump. “I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition…”

• President Joe Biden relentlessly dubbed Trump “a threat to democracy.” He also said in Aug. 2022 that Trump’s “extreme MAGA philosophy” is based on “semi-fascism” and “full of anger, violence, hate, and division.”

Nonetheless, Nov. 13 was a love-in.

Biden hosted the incoming autocrat in the Oval Office.

“Donald, congratulations,” Biden smiled at Trump. Biden offered a “smooth transition” and promised to “do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated.” Biden added: “Welcome back.”

“I very much appreciate that, Joe,” Trump said.

The president, first lady, and president-re-elect then took photos. All smiles and sunshine. Dr. Jill gave Trump a personal note to hand-deliver to former and future First Lady Melania Trump.

What should the American people make of this?

Trump’s critics never believed their own Hitler talk. Equating the Republican standard-bearer with the personification of evil was just another campaign tactic—like digital ads or robocalls.

Days ago, Democrats panicked over the end of the world as we know it. Now, they’ve got a peaceful, easy feeling.

In short, the Left lied to the American people.

So, Donald J. Trump is not Adolf Hitler. He is not even Hitler Lite. In fact, his harshest foes now concur with 76.8 million voters: Trump is no Hitler at all.

‘Portal into 2014’: CNN’s Jake Tapper Mocks Leftist Guest Melting Down over Trump’s Cabinet

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) CNN anchor Jake Tapper mocked guest commentator Margaret Hoover for melting down about President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees in a discussion about Pam Bondi replacing Matt Gaetz as the Republican’s attorney general pick.

Hoover repeated former President Barack Obama’s infamous line, “elections do have consequences,” as she ranted to Tapper and fellow panelist Rebecca Katz about her disliking for Trump’s nominees.

“This could be much easier for him if he would pick qualified, respectable, like, individuals who — it’s okay if you’re a Republican and you appoint a Republican attorney general. Just have somebody of the stature of the before times!” Hoover said, speaking at a rapid pace.

Tapper attentively listened as Hoover continued to complain about Trump’s “stained” nominees. She eventually lost her flow and said, “It’s so frustrating.”

“I feel like I’m looking through a portal into 2014,” Tapper joked, seemingly about Hoover’s delivery.

The CNN commentator played along by listing off other years.

“I know, I know! 2012, 15, 10! You know, the first decade of the 20th century,” Hoover responded to Tapper with the same energy as her earlier rant. “But that’s not where we live now.”

Katz jumped into the conversation and took a stab at Gaetz, who withdrew from consideration as Trump’s attorney general on Thursday.

Katz told the panel Gaetz was “the floor,” prompting Tapper to interject.

“I’ve been covering politics for a long time. Do not say that,” the CNN host warned Katz with a laugh and a raised finger. “Because it will get worse.”

Katz and Hoover both erupted following Tapper’s warning, with Katz prevailing to criticize Trump’s selection process.

“Donald Trump is looking at headshots, right? He is looking at these candidates and thinking, ‘Who would look, who would play one on TV?’” Katz said.

Tapper agreed by suggesting Trump would choose the people who defended him well on Fox News for key Cabinet positions.

‘Playing it Cool’: Ex-Bernie Bros Conduct Democrat Post-Mortem with Megyn Kelly

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Megyn Kelly hosted two former “Bernie Bros” on her podcast Friday for a post-mortem of the Democrat Party’s historic election loss to Republican President-elect Donald Trump.

Red Scare podcast co-hosts Anna Khachiyan and Dasha Nekrasova, who converted from supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders in previous campaigns to backing Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris, reached agreement with Kelly that Democrats’ focus on transgender politics led to their downfall in all seven battleground states.

“I will go on record that I’ve never been a leftist or a Bernie Bro. I’ve always been a Trump supporter, but I was playing it cool,” Khachiyan admitted ahead of their analysis, blaming “social cowardice” on her closeted support.

Kelly brought up her own change of heart toward Trump, tying it to the country’s rightward shift leading to the president-elect’s GOP mandate.

“I told myself I wasn’t gonna gloat, but I felt truly vindicated because my home state of New Jersey only lost Trump by five points,” Khachiyan told Kelly, who said Gov. Phil Murphy, D-N.J., should “feel the pain.”

The SiriusXM host mentioned Democrat stronghold Manhattan’s rightward shift and said voters in crucial swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — did not like the Democrats’ focus on transgender people.

“The number one issue for swing state voters is the trans issue. They said that in Democratic polling, there was a long post-mortem, and they said in swing states in particular, that was the number one issue,” Kelly told her guests. “Too much focus on the trans stuff in particular by Democrats, and not enough on the things that actually drive their lives and their concerns.”

Nekrasova said the “silent majority” was against the Left’s transgender messaging but made clear that the “erosion of trust” in institutions like hospitals was the final straw rather than gender politics alone.

“I saw you posting about autogynephilia and I was like, J.D. Vance meme face, ding ding ding,” Khachiyan told Kelly. “Because the most interesting thing to me about the trans issue is that the people pushing for it, the trans agenda, are not who you would expect.”

She said transgender people, young gay men who want to pass as women and young tomboy girls with a history of sexual abuse are not the ones vocal on transgender issues.

“Number one, it’s autogynephiles who are straight men who have a paraphilia where they’re sexually aroused by the thought of themselves dressed as women. These guys tend to be older, they’re high-achieving, high-IQ, high-aggression,” Khachivan said.

The Red Scare co-host joked that being bullied by autogynephiles online made her reconsider her belief in the patriarchy.

“And then the second group, I think, are people who aren’t even trans. They would probably be identified as ‘allies,’” Khachivan continued. “It’s like liberal women and male feminists who maybe identify as queer or suffer from Munchausen’s by Proxy. And all of those people are very locked into the medical industrial complex.”

MXNBC?: Elon Musk Weighs Bid for Struggling Leftist Network MSNBC

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Billionaire Elon Musk weighed in on calls for him to buy struggling leftist news channel MSNBC, prompting an explosion of discussion on social media Friday.

Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, announced Wednesday that MSNBC, the home of Trump-bashing hosts like Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid and Joe Scarborough, will be separated from NBC News and offloaded into a new company.

Donald Trump Jr. raised awareness to Musk Friday about MSNBC on the market by suggesting Musk buys the cable news channel the same way he took over Twitter, which he eventually rebranded as X. The president-elect’s son wrote, “Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!”

Musk asked Trump Jr. how much buying MSNBC would cost, harking back to the interaction that catapulted his acquisition of Twitter in 2022.

Several X users took aim at MSNBC’s declining value, including former Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake, who called the network “nearly worthless.”  On Nov. 13, MSNBC plummeted to an average of only 599,000 total viewers — its smallest audience since June 26, 2016, according to Fox News, which averaged 2.3 million viewers on the same day.

Podcaster Tim Pool suggested Infowars host Alex Jones become a host on what many called the prospective “MXNBC.” Left-wing satirical website The Onion recently won the bankruptcy auction to buy Jones’s media empire, allowing the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims to collect more than $1 billion in defamation judgements.

Megyn Kelly egged Musk on, writing, “Omg DO IT.”

Musk reposted his interaction with President-elect Donald Trump’s son for his 205.7 million followers to see.

“The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely,” Musk wrote.

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan threw his support behind Musk’s potential bid for the leftist network, saying he would impersonate Maddow and take over her time slot.

“If you buy MSNBC I would like Rachael Maddow’s job,” Rogan wrote. “I will wear the same outfit and glasses, and I will tell the same lies.”

Donald Trump Jr. called dibs on imitating MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell — but said “the castration” is “a bridge too far.”

Several social media users celebrated the idea of conservative personalities usurping MSNBC’s leftist kingdom, such as commentator Ashley St. Clair, who constructed her own host lineup.

“Elon Musk buys MSNBC. Joe Rogan opens for Rachel Maddow’s old spot to christen the new Media. Megyn Kelly takes a prime time slot. Scott Jennings given free rein to clown everybody. A version of The View without the rabies. The Babylon Bee makes their own late night show,” she wrote.

‘We Disagree on Everything’: Geraldo Rivera Says Fox News Foe Would Protect Him as Trump’s Nominee

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera said former colleague Dan Bongino, who he would often spar with on the network, “would do the job” as U.S. Secret Service director Friday in an interview with CNN’s Brianna Keilar.

CNN reported Wednesday that Bongino, a former secret service agent who continued his popular podcast after leaving Fox News, was a top contender among President-elect Donald Trump’s considered candidates for the position. Rivera initially laughed when the CNN anchor asked him how he feels about Bongino becoming Secret Service director, reflecting on their contentious relationship.

“I can’t imagine anyone who I feel more fiercely combative with than Dan Bongino. If he were to walk into a bar and I was having a beer, you know, we’d probably square off. We disagree on everything,” Rivera said.

Rivera called Bongino “a provocateur” before praising his former Fox News foe’s credentials.

“I go back to what I said about Major Pete. I have no issue at all with his honesty, with his credibility, his character, his patriotism, his love of the Secret Service. I think all of those things are positive for Bongino,” Rivera said.

He told the CNN host that Trump‘s Cabinet is already filled with nominees who are great on television and know how to communicate.

“And, you know, I think that in some ways, all of these people in the Cabinet, you could name others as well, Dr. Oz, are great on TV. They are bigger than life, they are great communicators,” Rivera said. “I see where the president-elect was going with this Cabinet.”

Despite his praise, Rivera emphasized that the true test would be whether Trump’s nominee could perform well on the day-by-day tasks of their positions, if confirmed. He added that Bongino would be among those, if nominated and confirmed, that would be able to do the job as Secret Service director.

“I guess we’ll see, some will, some won’t,” Rivera said. “But with Bongino, you know, I would — let me put it this way. If I was a target and Bongino was on the job, I feel that Bongino would keep me safe. He would do the job, Brianna.”

Gallego Ducks Questions on Relationship w/ Maricopa Official after Shady Win

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Rep. Ruben Gallego, D–Ariz., recently refused to answer any of the uncomfortable questions about why and how he “won” the Senate seat in Arizona.

The Gateway Pundit’s reporter recently confronted Gallego while he was walking back to his apartment.

“I know you have this real cushy-cushy friendship with [Maricopa County’s official] Stephen Richer. You guys were neighbors. Did he help you fix the vote count in the election with Kari Lake? The guy who hates Kari Lake, did he help you out at all with the vote totals? Or was it your family ties to the cartel? Is that why you are against President [Donald] Trump’s border security measures? Because of your cartel daddy?” the reporter said.

After asking Gallego if he would respond to any of the questions and not receiving a response, the reporter continued asking questions.

“How close are you to Stephen Richer? Do you think it’s fair for Stephen Richer, who is suing Kari Lake, to be counting the votes? Do you think that it’s fair that Stephen Richer wants to make ‘life h-ll’ for Kari Lake? That’s an actual quote. What do you think of that? Is it just nice because it benefits you?” the reporter said before Gallego could escape by entering the building where he lives.

Gallego refused to answer any of the reporter’s questions after the Arizona Senate election, in which Gallego’s opponent, Lake, was winning, as reported by many conservatives at the time.

However, after that, people started noticing that Gallego was getting a lot of votes, even though it previously looked like he would lose the election. Many conservatives claimed that Democrats were trying to steal the election.

While conservative lawyers and activists were working on ensuring fair elections in the state, James O’Keefe’s investigative team discovered that Gallego “hates” Lake and “wants her to die.” It was also revealed that Richer was not a fan of Lake either, claiming he wanted to “make life h-ll” for her.

Eventually, the Democrats were able to steal the Senate seat for Gallego successfully. Soon after the mainstream media claimed that Gallego “won,” Lake released a video thanking the people who supported her and voted for her.

Lake’s “loss” looks even more unrealistic considering that Arizonans voted for Trump, another Republican who wanted to implement pr-closed border policies.

Soon after, Lake was spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, and some suggested that Trump might appoint her chairman of the Federal Election Committee in his administration.

Trump Reassures Voters that Deep-State Mike Rogers Won’t Be FBI Director

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) President-elect Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino, stated on Friday that former RINO Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., would not be considered to be the FBI director.

“Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening,” Scavino wrote.

The New York Post’s inside source also confirmed that Trump never considered hiring Rogers in the first place.

Conservatives celebrated the recent news on Twitter while also stating that they hoped that they would never see a corrupt politician being in control of the FBI.

“Great news. Here’s to hoping Trey Gowdy’s name isn’t in the mix, either. Recall that Trey Gowdy’s FBI boosterism and garbage legal advice got a Republican congressman convicted in a bogus FBI entrapment setup,” CEO and co-founder of The Federalist Sean Davis wrote.

Author Hans Mahncke also suggested that Trump and his allies remove the person who fed the idea to the media, which caused a lot of confusion and panic.

“Find out who seeded the Rogers story with the media, remove that individual or group, and spare everyone a lot of problems over the next four years,” he wrote.

Donald Trump Jr. also celebrated the recent comments from his father.

“Winning,” he wrote.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., also stated that not even considering Rogers for this position was a “wise move.”

Others also made fun of the fact that so many conservatives believed that the mainstream media was telling the truth when it was reporting on Trump picking Rogers.

“Wait… you mean to tell me unverified reports from the MSM are not always true? Imagine that,” @WarClandestine wrote.

The news about Trump picking Rogers came from CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who became infamous for exposing her Trump Derangement Syndrome to all Americans during a town hall with Trump.

However, it didn’t stop conservatives from assuming the worst, going as far as saying that the Deep State controls Trump.

“We are about to see if Trump is controlled by the deep state with his FBI director pick. If he picks Mike Rogers, then all that hard work was for nothing, and our country is screwed. @realDonaldTrump, @TeamTrump, @TrumpWarRoom, don’t let your voters down,” Hodgetwins wrote.
