Trump praises ‘common sense’ Fetterman after Mar-a-Lago meeting, celebrates cooperation with Democrats

By James Lynch | National Review President-elect Donald Trump is full of praise for Senator John Fetterman after sitting down with the Pennsylvania Democrat over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago. “It was a totally fascinating meeting. He’s a fascinating man, and his wife is lovely. They were both up, and I couldn’t be more impressed,” Trump said in a Sunday interview with the Washington Examiner. “He’s a commonsense person. He’s not liberal or conservative. He’s just a commonsense person, which is beautiful,” Trump added. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NATIONAL REVIEW

Lakewood sued by developer, as expected, over controversial new open space law

By Catie Cheshire | Westword As members of Lakewood City Council predicted when they passed a controversial new open-space law last November, the City of Lakewood has been named in a suit claiming that the law is illegal and being applied unfairly to a planned development next to Belmar Park. In September, Lakewood residents successfully petitioned to eliminate the city’s option to allow developers to pay a fee to build parks instead of dedicating parkland for each development; the council had no choice but to either send the issue to a special election or turn the petition into law. As a result, every project must now dedicate 10.5 acres of parkland for every 1,000 people expected to live at a new Lakewood development. Kairoi Properties filed the lawsuit ...

Franz: California’s fires show environmentalist policies can have deadly results

By  Danielle B. Franz | Commentary, National Review Ignoring basic forest stewardship while crying ‘climate change’ is nothing more than a convenient excuse to justify inaction. Tens of thousands of acres have gone up in flames in Los Angeles County, a tragedy made all the more infuriating by the fact that it was entirely preventable. California’s leaders knew this could happen — yet they chose inaction, distractions, and virtue-signaling over protecting their citizens. Governor Gavin Newsom’s priorities have been astonishingly misplaced. To appease radical environmentalists, he pushed forward initiatives to remove dams, under the guise of protecting marine species, and thereby handicapped water supplies for crucial uses such as preventing and fighting wildfires.

By Andrea Margolis | Fox News Special counsel Jack Smith resigned from his position at the Department of Justice Friday, Fox News has learned.

White: Here are Trump’s options for dealing with an imminent nuclear threat that’s festered under Biden

By Wallace White | Commentary, Daily Caller Iran has largely been left unchecked by the Biden administration in its goal to become a nuclear power, presenting President-elect Donald Trump with a significant foreign policy challenge that has few easy solutions. Iran, with its current stockpiles, can make a nuclear weapon with 60% enriched uranium in just one week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a November bulletin. The president-elect will have to choose a path quickly upon assuming office, such as renegotiating a deal to halt or slow Iran’s progress, military intervention or re-tooling sanctions that have so far been ineffective. “The United States needs another Middle East war like it needs a hole in the head,” Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign ...

Garland seeks to trample Americans’ due process rights to get Trump

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist The release of the special counsel report by the attorney general would severely prejudice the due process rights of the individuals identified in that report, a brief filed late Saturday in a Florida federal court argued. All eyes now rest on Judge Aileen Cannon’s docket to see how she responds to this weekend’s bombshell filing. The flurry of court filings began exactly one week ago when Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira filed two emergency motions to enjoin the release of the special counsel’s report. Special Counsel Jack Smith had indicted Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in the Southern District of Florida for alleged crimes related to Trump’s retention of classified documents.  Last year, presiding judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charge...

Hundreds of Navy SEALs, veterans to march in D.C. to support Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as Defense Secretary

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Five hundred Navy SEALs, veterans, and other supporters are planning to march in support of Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth as he appears before senators for his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. That morning, his supporters will meet at the Vietnam Memorial Wall at 9 a.m. EST and march to different war memorials, including the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the D.C. War Memorial, and the World War II Memorial, and conclude near Capitol Hill with remarks from military leaders and prominent supporters. Participants will carry American flags as they march. The march is being organized by Navy SEAL veteran Bill Brown, who also organizes the yearly NYC Seal Swim — which Hegseth, a combat veteran, has taken part of in support of Navy SEALs. Robert Swee...

Dickerson: Fighting off the ‘Black Pill’ burnout to make a difference in legislation

By Mike Dickerson | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice On the heels of a contentious presidential election in 2024, Colorado has transitioned into a state legislative session filled to the brim with bills all but guaranteed to further the divide between the political Left and Right. Instead of addressing the near billion-dollar budget deficit, the Democrat majority began the session with Senate Bill 25-003, a draconian firearms bill by Sen. Tom Sullivan. It will not stand up to constitutional scrutiny, and whispers of later bills that will attack TABOR protections (Rep. Sean Camacho, we’re watching you). It’s no wonder many, myself included, are dealing with the dreaded Black Pill burn out. There has been no break, seemingly for ages, to the overwhelming number of governmental...
