PA Radio Host: Gov. Josh Shapiro Mortified as Dems ‘Milk’ Senate Race

(Julianna Frieman, Headline USA) Talk radio 1210 WPHT host Rich Zeoli said Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., must have been mortified as Democrats slowwalked accepting Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s win.

McCormick unseated three-term Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who refused to concede the race days after his GOP challenger was projected as the winner.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer initially withheld McCormick’s invitation to Tuesday’s Senate orientation, prompting Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to offer to “personally escort” the excluded Republican into the Capitol.

Zeoli told Fox and Friends First that Democrats are trying to “milk” Casey’s name until the very end—but suggested that Shapiro fears being viewed as an election denier.

“The Casey name is a legend in Pennsylvania, right? His dad was governor back in the nineties, one of the last of the moderate Democrats,” Zeoli said. “They are trying to milk this for everything it’s possibility worth. Squeeze every dime out of the Casey name.”

Zeoli mentioned a large ballot dump Monday night that did not affect McCormick’s margin over Casey.

He said Democrats would continue to prolong McCormick’s race as long as possible, bringing up the possibility that the party could have been trying to prevent the incoming Republican from voting for the next Senate majority leader on Wednesday.

“I wonder about that right now, and I’m a little bit concerned about that,” Zeoli said in his interview that aired before Schumer changed his tune early Tuesday and decided to allow McCormick and Democrat Arizona Senator-elect Ruben Gallego to attend Senate orientation.

Zeoli speculated that Shapiro was “not happy” about McCormick’s dragged-out race because he likely intends on running for president come 2028.

Vice President Kamala Harris snubbed Shapiro for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz when picking her running mate in a decision criticized in hindsight as a political blunder for Democrats.

“Casey’s the past, and Shapiro’s looking is looking to the future,” Zeoli said.

Zeoli said Shapiro must already be gearing up to fundraiser in Iowa and to do his “fake Barack Obama accent” in South Carolina.

“He does not want to get mired down in a dispute over whether or not that they are accepting the election results,” the radio host added. “He wants this to go away as soon as possible.”

DOJ Opened over 100 New Jan. 6 Cases between June and Election Day

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Justice Department has released statistics on the number of J6 protestors arrested since the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill uprising—showing that prosecutors were busy arresting dozens of new targets in the run-up to Election Day.

According to the DOJ, approximately 1,561 J6ers have been charged criminally in federal court—up more than 100 cases from the 1,457 arrests as of June.

The latest DOJ stats—released on Election Day—show that the federal government’s furious pace of arrests continued throughout this year. The DOJ charged 725 from January 2021 to January 2022; more than 200 in 2022; about 225 last year; and another 419 through nearly the first half of 2024.

The uptick in charges and arrests this year followed a letter from the “Sedition Hunters” to Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves—urging them to arrest thousands of additional J6 protestors before the 2024 election. The Sedition Hunters is a shadowy group of online sleuths that use controversial facial recognition technology to help the FBI track down Jan. 6 protestors.

“It appears that the department and the FBI are not on pace to arrest an alarmingly large percentage [of those] who committed crimes at the Capitol on January 6 but have not been charged yet,” the Sedition Hunters’ April letter said.

“These people have already committed political violence once, and for the more violent offenders to remain un-arrested and face no accountability is a concern to me because it’s an election year — and what’s to stop them from committing political violence again this year?” the letter said.

According to the letter, 3,900 people committing crimes at the Capitol on Jan. 6. That includes people who breached the Capitol and those who engaged in violence on the grounds, but not the people who were on the Capitol grounds—itself a crime—but otherwise didn’t violate any laws.

“About 626 people have been charged with assaulting law enforcement and media, or entering a restricted area with a dangerous or deadly weapon,” Raw Story reported in April.

“Based on those numbers, the arrest rate for violent offenders would need to pick up the pace from about 16 per month to 26 per month in order to meet the deadline before the statute of limitations runs out on Jan. 6, 2026.”

Presidents and Debt: The Worst of the Worst

Presidents and Debt: The Worst of the Worst

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) James Madison called public debt “a public curse.” We’re currently cursed to the tune of $35.9 trillion and counting.

To make matters worse, the size of the debt is exacerbating the debt.

Uncle Sam paid $1.13 trillion in interest expense in fiscal 2023. It was the first time interest expense has ever eclipsed $1 trillion.  In fiscal 2024, the federal government paid more for interest expenses than national defense and Medicare.

It’s easy to focus on the current whoever is in office at the moment. After all, the Biden administration ran the third-largest budget deficit in history in fiscal 2024. But the fact of the matter is the debt has continued to climb at a dizzying pace under the oversight of president after president.

How long has it been since the federal government has taken the borrowing and spending seriously?

The only time in U.S. history that the debt was fully paid off was during President Andrew Jackson’s administration. That was in 1835.

And in modern times, things just keep getting worse and worse. Every president since Calvin Coolidge has left the country in deeper debt than when he took office.

While many founders, including George Washington, recognized the need for occasional debt, they repeatedly emphasized the importance of repaying it in a timely manner. In his Fifth Annual Message to Congress, Washington put it like this:

“No pecuniary consideration is more urgent than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt. On none can delay be more injurious or an economy of time more valuable.”

Good luck finding a person in power in Washington, D.C., holding this view today.

In a letter to Abigail Adams, John Adams accurately predicted the impact of debt.

“I lament the introduction of Taxes and Expenses which will accumulate a perpetual Debt and lead to future Revolutions.”

All of the unconstitutional federal acts, regulations, and programs we live under today are a counter-revolution that flipped the entire constitutional system on its head.

Huge government debt also undermines national defense, as John Taylor pointed out.

“Hence it is obvious that debt, so far from being either strength or credit, is a diminution of both; and that freedom from debt is the only genuine source of national strength depending on revenue.”

Washington offered a similar take in his farewell speech, urging the country to “Cherish public credit,” calling it a “very important source of strength and security.”

Washington went on to say that debt should be used “sparingly as possible, avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace,” pointing out “that timely disbursements to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it.”

Borrowing and Spending Is a Bipartisan Sport

Rather than figuring out how to cut spending and debt, today, excessive borrowing and spending is a bipartisan sport. It’s almost as if they’re competing to see who can be the worst.

And no one ever takes the blame.

The national debt has become a political hot potato. Republicans blame Democrats, characterizing them as big spenders. Democrats blame Republicans, also calling them big spenders at times but more often lamenting “tax cuts for the rich.”

So, who were the worst presidents when it came to growing the national debt since 1900?

1. BARACK OBAMA

In raw dollar terms, the biggest borrower-and-spender-in-chief was Barack Obama. The national debt grew by $8.3 trillion during his two terms.

Obama was the first president to oversee a $1 trillion annual budget shortfall. In fact, his administration ran four trillion-plus deficits in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

2. DONALD TRUMP

Donald Trump comes in second on our list. His administration added $8.2 trillion to the national debt. Notably, Trump nearly managed to break Obama’s record in one term versus two. More on that in a moment.

Pandemic spending, coupled with the government shutdown of the economy, exacerbated the budget deficits during his term, but you can’t blame it all on COVID-19. Trump nearly ran a $1 trillion deficit in 2019 and was on pace to eclipse that number in 2020 before COVID gave politicians yet another excuse to expand their unconstitutional spending programs.

3. JOE BIDEN

In less than one full term, Joe Biden has already reached #3, and by the time his current term ends in Jan 2025, he may rise even closer to the top.

To date, the national debt has increased by $7.3 trillion since he took office. At the current deficit pace, we can expect at least another $600 billion to be added by the end of his term. This would put him in the same ballpark as Trump and Obama. And, like Trump, he’s reaching these lofty heights in just a single term.

4-5. GEORGE W. BUSH/RONALD REAGAN

George W. Bush comes in fourth. He left office having run up $6.1 trillion in debt. Spending for the War on Terror bloated the Bush budget.

Ronald Reagan’s administration left the U.S. with the fifth-largest increase in debt. When he left office, the U.S. was  $1.9 trillion deeper in debt than when he was elected.

SPENDING/YEAR

It’s interesting to note that the two most recent big spenders both hit the top five in raw dollar terms in just four years, while it took the other three in the top five eight years to match them. If we break it down by an average increase in debt per year, the top five looks like this:

  1. Trump 2.05/year
  2. Biden 1.95/year (Estimated)
  3. Obama 1.04/year
  4. Bush 0.76/year
  5. Reagan 0.24/year

So, while President Obama set the record in terms of raw dollars, President Trump easily holds the record for the most debt per year, nearly doubling the rate of growth of his big-spending predecessor.

WHAT ABOUT INFLATION?

Looking at the growth in debt in dollar terms doesn’t account for the impacts of inflation. When we look at the presidents who grew the debt the most in percentage terms, the list looks quite different.

1. FDR

The biggest debtor in percentage terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He expanded the national debt by a staggering 1,047.73 percent.

He oversaw a massive increase in domestic spending during the Great Depression, including social programs that never went away. He then pivoted to military spending during World War II. This underscores the tremendous cost of war and reveals why James Madison warned that “Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded.”

“War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.”

2. WOODROW WILSON

Another wartime president comes in second on the list. Woodrow Wilson’s administration grew the national debt by 722.21 percent.

3-5. RONALD REAGAN/G.W. BUSH/BARACK OBAMA

Ronald Reagan (186.36 percent), George W. Bush (105.08 percent), and Barack Obama (69.98 percent) round out the top five.

To date, the Biden administration has increased the debt by about 32 percent.

CONSEQUENCES

Even Alexander Hamilton, who called the debt “a national blessing” and “powerful cement for the union” and who believed it would “create a necessity for keeping up taxation to a degree which, without being oppressive, will be a spur to industry,” would have a hard time supporting this level of borrowing and spending, given his caveat – “if it is not excessive.”

In a letter to President Washington, Thomas Jefferson drilled down to the reason Hamilton was a fan of debt.

“I would wish the debt paid tomorrow; he wishes it never to be paid, but always to be a thing wherewith to corrupt and manage the legislature.” [Emphasis added]

In contrast to Hamilton’s sanguine view of debt, Brutus had a more realistic perspective. Warning that under the Constitution, the power to borrow money would be, in practice, “general and unlimited.” From there, he predicted exactly what would happen.

“Under this authority, the Congress may mortgage any or all the revenues of the union, as a fund to loan money upon, and it is probably, in this way, they may borrow of foreign nations, a principal sum, the interest of which will be equal to the annual revenues of the country. — By this means, they may create a national debt, so large, as to exceed the ability of the country ever to sink.”

This, of course, was for Brutus – a doomsday scenario.

“I can scarcely contemplate a greater calamity that could befall this country, than to be loaded with a debt exceeding their ability ever to discharge.”

And here we are.

Media Calls Stolen Ariz. Senate Race for Democrats in Wee Hours on Monday

Media Calls Stolen Ariz. Senate Race for Democrats in Wee Hours on Monday

(Headline USA) Nearly a week after most states had their races decided, and even other highly contentious and razor-thin ones resolved, Arizona leftists formally stole the race from GOP candidate Kari Lake for the second consecutive election cycle. 

Several counties—notably deep-blue Pima, populous Maricopa and the border region of Yuma—saw their vote totals mysteriously fluctuate througout the convoluted and opaque tallying process.

Although Yuma and Cochise—both of which broke heavily for President-elect Donald Trump—were still awaiting the results on more than a third of their final count, Democrat Ruben Gallego had made disproportionate gains in recent vote drops, giving him an edge of nearly 73,000 votes that Lake could not catch.

The Associated Press called the race at at 11:49 p.m. ET on Monday.

“Gracias, Arizona!” wrote Gallego, who has acknowledged his father is a convicted drug dealer with ties to the cross-border cartels.

The AP left a voicemail and email message seeking comment from Lake’s campaign Monday night.

It remained unclear whether she intended to wage any legal challenges—an effort that defined her 2022 race against now-Gov. Katie Hobbs, but to no avail.

Despite clear indications of election malfeasance by Hobbs—who was previously the Arizona secretary of state—Lake struggled to gain access to the evidence needed to prove deliberate voter fraud.

Instead, corrupt officials backed by George Soros and other well-heeled leftist oligarchs pushed back with a relentless lawfare attack on Lake, suing her for defamation and otherwise attempting to punish her for the act of trying to press her case legally.

With dishonest pollsters showing Lake behind by a sizeable margin in her senatorial run, Trump ultimately distanced himself from Lake in the current race, which may have contributed to the deficit between his tally and that of one of his staunchest pro-MAGA defenders.

However, some on X expressed their hope that Lake, a former TV journalist, would find a role in Trump’s incoming administration—perhaps as press secretary.

Gallego’s victory continues a string of Democratic successes for the Senate in a state that was reliably Republican for those seats until Donald Trump was elected president in 2016—despite frequently choosing RINOs like Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, and former Gov. Doug Ducey.

With Lake’s defeat and that of Nevada GOP candidate Sam Brown under similarly unusual circumstances, the GOP will have 53 seats in the 100-member Senate.

Republicans flipped Democratic-controlled Senate seats in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Montana. In the latter three cases, defeated Sens. Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey and Jon Tester ran ahead of Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris but couldn’t overcome their states’ shifts toward the GOP.

Gallego, a five-term House member, will replace Kyrsten Sinema, who left the Democratic Party two years ago after she antagonized the party’s left wing. She considered running for a second term as an independent but bowed out when it was clear she had no clear path to victory.

“Yes, he could!” several Gallego supporters shouted in Spanish as he offered his first comments after the race was called.

“I will fight for Arizona in Washington,” Gallego told the cheering supporters, claiming he would fight as much for the people who did not vote for him as the ones who did.

In his brief remarks, Gallego promised to work to fix the nation’s broken immigration system, fight for veterans and for women’s abortion.

The latter was a contentious issue in the state after its Supreme Court briefly rolled the law back to one dating from the Civil War era that banned all abortions.

Since September, it has since been amended to reflect a more recent law that permits abortions within 15 weeks of pregnancy and allows for special circumstances such as rape, incest or risk to the mother.

Lake, like Trump, tacked to the middle on the issue, alienating some of her allies on the right by opposing a federal abortion ban while deflecting Gallego’s attempts to use abortion as a rallying cry for single-issue “AWFUL” voters.

Also contentious in the lead-up to the election was a bizarre Arizona law that did not require voters to show proof of citizenship for national elections, although it did for state ones. The resulting legal battle led to thousands of individuals being approved to vote without having confirmed their eligibility, while the disposition in the case confoundingly swung back and forth with judicial reversals.

That, along with a lengthy two-page ballot, may have contributed to a chaotic election that—like the state’s 2022 effort, which saw many Republican-heavy precincts receive the wrong size paper on Election Day—made it impossible to readily ascertain the will of voters.

With Gallego’s win, there was only one more major race left uncalled in Arizona. The race between Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani and Democrat Kirsten Engel for the 6th Congressional District remained too early to call.

Gallego—who, like Harris, maintained a significant fundraising advantage throughout the race—portrayed Lake as a liar who would do and say anything to gain power. Ironically, he also downplayed his own radical voting record in Congress, while attempting to portray himself as a pragmatic moderate.

Lake, who called herself the “lawful governor” in her 2023 book, continued her unsuccessful fight in court to overturn the nefarious gubernatorial race even after beginning her Senate campaign.

She focused her Senate campaign on border security, a potent issue for Republicans in a border state that saw record border crossings during Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration. She promised a tough crackdown on illegal immigration and labeled Gallego a supporter of “open borders.”

She also went after his personal life, pointing to his divorce from Kate Gallego shortly before she gave birth. His ex-wife, now the mayor of Phoenix, endorsed Gallego and has campaigned with him.

Leftist Women Threaten to Poison MAGA Men

Leftist Women Threaten to Poison MAGA Men

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Leftist women who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election announced on social media that they would murder men who voted for President-elect Donald Trump by poisoning them.

The New York Post reported that the videos of young women adding a deadly poison to a drink became viral on Twitter and TikTok.

According to these videos, some of the women stated that this is a “Make Aqua Tofana Great Again” (“MATGA”) movement. Giulia Tofana was a 17th-century Italian woman who was selling poison to wives who wished to murder their abusive husbands, which resulted in the deaths of more than 600 men.

Even though many women on social media adopted this idea and started making these kinds of videos themselves, saying that the Trump-supporting men “asked for it,” some people urged these women not to do what they were doing.

“You do know those videos can be used against you, right? It’s giving off premeditated vibes. The internet is FOREVER. Also… the 1600s were A LOT different than 2024 advancements in detecting POISON,” one person stated, according to the Post.

Conservatives on Twitter quickly responded to the recent news.

“The hoes are not handling this well, I see,” conservative reporter Savanah Hernandez wrote.

A popular political commentator on Twitter, @ImMeme0, has also responded to the recent trend started by leftist women.

“HOLY SH*T, Karens lost their [f***ing] minds over Trump’s win and launched MATGA—short for Make Aqua Tofana Great Again,” @ImMeme0 wrote. “The first video got over 1.3 million LIKES!”

Others suggested that Americans should “make insane asylums great again.”

“Hi @FBI. What’s your position on women encouraging other women to poison their husbands or others who voted for Trump?” @spartanqueen100 wrote.

Some conservatives also suggested that conservatives cannot trust leftists working in the food service business, while others claimed that people should “stay away from fat chicks with nose rings.”

Harris-supporting feminists also recently started shaving their heads, putting on coronavirus masks again, wearing blue wristbands and announcing that they would participate in the sex strike on men because they allegedly would not be allowed to have abortions.

George Clooney Abandons Politics

George Clooney Abandons Politics

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Hollywood actor George Clooney reportedly abandoned politics after leftists attacked him for participating in the coup against Joe Biden to replace him with Kamala Harris, which resulted in Harris’s defeat.

The Daily Mail’s insiders claimed that Clooney is “disheartened” by the backlash.

“George feels that the backlash he is getting for Kamala losing is not at all warranted,” a source told the Mail. “He thinks it is completely unfair to try and make him a scapegoat for her loss. He has backed the Democratic Party and invested so much time and money into them, but he is going to take a step back for now. He feels very disheartened.”

The insiders also said that the actor did not immediately endorse Harris because he thought the Democrats should have “taken a step back” and considered replacing Biden with someone else.

“When he wrote his op-ed, George did not say, ‘Biden is not fit to be president, choose Kamala.’ The Democrats jumped on Kamala, and within days, she was the candidate. George believes that they should have taken a step back and looked at their options. That is why he did not endorse her right away,” the source said.

John Nolte of Breitbart News responded to the Mail’s recent article, noting that Democrats should blame Clooney only for one thing.

“The only thing you can blame Clooney for is what all elite Democrats can be blamed for, and that’s covering up for Biden’s mental and physical deterioration until the cover-up imploded during that presidential debate. In that op-ed, Clooney admitted he knew Biden wasn’t up to the job weeks earlier during a glitz Hollywood fundraiser. Why didn’t he say something then?” he wrote.

Other conservatives also responded to the recent news.

“I guess Clooney learned that in politics, there’s no award for ‘best-supporting actor,'” political commentator Mario Nawfal wrote.

Others thanked President-elect Donald Trump for ensuring one of the Hollywood celebrities would stop talking about politics.

Trump is already Making America Great Again,” @_johnnymaga wrote.

It was previously reported that Clooney had political aspirations himself.

“His endorsement of Kamala was definitely calculated. George is contemplating a future [presidential] run and has the support of one of the most powerful Democrats in the world, Barack Obama. He has his scope set on a possible run for a Senate seat in 2026 and will undoubtedly continue to gain respect within the Democratic party,” one insider said.

SCOTUS’s Sonia Sotomayor Won’t Resign

SCOTUS’s Sonia Sotomayor Won’t Resign

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Even though Democrats revealed their plans to replace Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor with a failed political candidate, Kamala Harris, people close to Sotomayor recently said she didn’t plan to retire.

“This is no time to lose her important voice on the court. She just turned 70 and takes better care of herself than anyone I know,” one person close to the justice told the Wall Street Journal, adding that leftists should use other ways to oppose President-elect Donald Trump.

It was previously reported that leftists attempted to remove Sotomayor so that they would be able to put another leftist activist on the Supreme Court, “agonizing” over Sotomayor retiring during the Trump presidency and Trump putting another conservative justice in her place, as reported by Politico.

Other leftists also floated the idea of replacing Sotomayor, including CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers.

“Other bold ideas, Sotomayor needs to resign. The court is currently 6-3. This would limit Trump’s ability to make it 7-2. It’s silly to believe there is no difference. You can confirm in 10 weeks (see ACB),” he wrote.

Sellers then claimed that many good candidates could replace Sotomayor, including Harris.

“You have very good previously vetted candidates…. Sri Srinivasan, Robert Wilkins, Michelle Childs, and, yes, Kamala Harris (though she likely doesn’t get Manchin’s vote). If step one doesn’t occur, she could very likely be another story much like RBG,” he wrote.

Headline USA also reported that Sellers made similar remarks on CNN News Central, urging Joe Biden to replace Sotomayor with Harris.

“I hope that Joe Biden makes the next 10 weeks as consequential as he can. I don’t care about drawing outside the lines or what Republicans may think about it,” he said. “This is within your purview. You could actually do it, and you should do it.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was also asked on NBC News whether he thinks Sotomayor should resign, and he said “no.”

“This is not happening,” Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., wrote on Twitter in response to leftists asking these questions. “No way, no how. The Senate will not confirm any last-minute Dem Supreme Court nominee between now and January. The next SCOTUS justice will be nominated by Donald J. Trump.”

Kamala, Jill Ignored Each Other in Viral Video, Confirming WH Drama

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A viral video has seemingly confirmed a harsh reality between Vice President Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden: the two women cannot stand each other. 

The video, first reported by the Daily Mail and since widely shared on X, showed Harris and Jill side by side moments before outgoing President Joe Biden delivered a speech for Veterans Day on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery.

The speech’s livestream briefly focused on Harris, who looked straight ahead as Jill hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses. 

The two women did not acknowledge each other in those moments, further fueling reporting about their strained relationship, particularly after Harris inherited the presidential nomination.

Earlier this year, Biden faced what has been widely described as an intraparty “coup d’état,” with high-profile Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, demanding Biden exit the 2024 race. 

The first-term president ultimately caved in, paving the way for Harris to become the first woman of color to be nominated for president, a milestone Democrats bragged about. Americans did not care, overwhelmingly voting for Donald Trump on Nov. 5. 

Doug Emhoff, the embattled Second Gentleman, sat to Harris’s left. His recent scandals, which came to light in the final weeks of the election, rocked the Harris campaign. 

Emhoff’s carefully crafted feminist image was shattered after he admitted to having an affair with his then middle-school-aged daughter’s nanny, whom he impregnated. Emhoff also faced accusations of slapping a former girlfriend at Cannes Film Festival. 

Tensions between Harris and Jill came to light in the 2020 race, when the then-senator accused Biden of being a racist for opposing busing.  

Tensions between Harris and Jill reportedly worsened following Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, as Biden loyalists allegedly refused to assist Harris’s campaign with coordination and timing. 

Taxpayers Stuck with $15M Bill for ‘Mr.’ Fauci’s Security, Chauffeur After Retirement

Taxpayers Stuck with $15M Bill for ‘Mr.’ Fauci’s Security, Chauffeur After Retirement

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) American taxpayers are footing “Mr.” Anthony Fauci’s multimillion-dollar bill for private security and chauffeur services nearly two years after his retirement. 

The federal government granted Fauci, now a private citizen, $15 million in taxpayer-funded security through a baffling arrangement between the Biden-led U.S. Marshals Service and the Department of Health and Human Services. 

The $15 million figure covers only Jan. 4, 2023, to Sept. 20, 2024, according to bombshell, never-before-seen documents reviewed Thursday by Open the Books and The Dossier. 

Notably, Fauci retired in December 2022 after serving as President Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor for nearly two years, suggesting the total bill could be astronomically higher.

The documents, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request, reveal that the $15 million reportedly covered salaries and benefits of deputies and administrative staff protecting Fauci. It also covers transportation and police equipment. 

Fauci previously cost taxpayers as the highest-paid federal employee from 2019 to 2022. He also received cash awards from domestic and international organizations, according to Open the Books and The Dossier. 

In addition to being driven by a private chauffeur and armed guards, Fauci enjoys a highly generous $355,000 annual pension, adding to this $15 million fortune following 54 years in public service. 

The Dossier and Open the Books noted that Fauci’s pension surpasses that of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and is just under the president’s annual salary of $400,000. 

Fauci left the government in disgrace after coming under fire for his blind endorsement of draconian government-mandated lockdowns and vaccine passports, which forced several Americans to take the COVID-19 jab.

MSNBC and CNN Ratings Tank Following Election

MSNBC and CNN Ratings Tank Following Election

(Matthew Doarnberger, Headline USA) Ratings for both CNN and MSNBC have plummeted since election night according to recent numbers.

Viewership from Thursday indicated a decline of 40% for CNN and 23% for MSNBC, according to data obtained by Mediaite.

As bad as those numbers were, the primetime ratings for both networks were even worse.

CNN experienced a 30% decline while MSNBC’s ratings were down an unprecedented 54%.

Mediaite’s Alex Griffing details just how bad it was for MSNBC hosts who carry primetime slots.

“MSNBC host Alex Wagner had her lowest rating show ever in terms of total viewers, while Chris Hayes’s show brought in its worst numbers since May of 2016,” Griffing wrote.

Meanwhile, Fox News was able to bring in 2.6 million viewers on Thursday, a 60% increase year over year for the day.

On election night, the network was able to comfortably lead in viewership with over 10.3 million average viewers from 8 to 11 p.m.

Tuesday’s election produced a never-before-seen result when MSNBC was able to defeat CNN in the ratings during election night for the first time ever.

MSNBC’s viewership came in at 6 million compared to CNN only accumulating 5.1 million.

The CNN total declined by nearly half since the 2020 election when it brought in 9.6 million total viewers.

The steep drop-off of MSNBC ratings from election night to Thursday could be explained by the disappointment in the election results by the network’s left-leaning audience.

According to Griffing, Donald Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris likely eliminated any desire those viewers had to continue to watch MSNBC’s coverage of the election fallout.

“MSNBC’s inability to keep its audience tuned in throughout the week signals a potential mood shift on the left as hope for a Kamala Harris victory has quickly soured into defeat and anxiety while awaiting Donald Trump’s return to power in January,” he said.

Overall television viewership was down across the board for election night as the Nielsen Ratings showed a drop-off of 25% across 18 major networks.

This included Fox News as they accumulated 14 million viewers four years ago.
