Make America Healthy Again: Trump Team Hypes MAHA Dream Team

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart The Trump team is hyping the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) dream team ahead of January 20, as Americans await reform that will weed out bureaucracy and corruption and make themselves, their friends, and family healthier. Breitbart News first obtained the montage featuring key members of Trump’s Cabinet pursuing the MAHA agenda. It begins with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) describing President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees as individuals who will “shake up the status quo.” Those MAHA selections include Dr. Janette Nesheiwat as Surgeon General, Dr. Marty Makary as FDA director, former congressman and Dr. Dave Weldon as CDC director, Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead Health and Human ...

Rep. Thomas Massie, the 2024 keynote to RMGO, notes irony of President Biden pardon

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In the wake of President Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, for a variety of criminal offenses, including the unlawful purchase of a firearm, one 2nd Amendment advocate familiar to gun-owning Coloradans noted the irony. U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, who was the keynote speaker this year at the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners' annual banquet, called upon Biden to expand the pardon in an effort for equal application of the law. "Since Joe Biden thinks a particular gun law shouldn’t be enforced for his son Hunter Biden, he should pardon everyone who’s been prosecuted under that same provision," Massey wrote on Twitter/X. https://twitter.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1863693757469659314 In addition to his role this year with RMGO, Massie ...

Colorado Democrat Gov. Jared Polis bashes President Biden for pardon of son Hunter

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner President Joe Biden‘s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on Sunday frustrated one Democrat who has been breaking with his party in recent weeks. The president and his 2020 running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, ran on a platform promising to put their country over their party, as a contrast to President-elect Donald Trump. But Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) said Sunday that the president’s decision to go back on his word was a prime example of putting his family over the country. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Biden-Harris admin to send an additional $725 million in military assistance to Ukraine

By David Krayden | The Post Millennial The Biden-Harris administration is preparing to send an additional $725 million in military assistance to Ukraine that will include counter-drone systems and more of the controversial anti-personnel landmines that most countries around the world have outlawed as a weapon of war. The US was not a signatory of the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the anti-personnel landmines. The package will also reportedly include munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System. Two US officials who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, would not confirm whether the armaments being supplied for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System were of the ATACMS class, but Ukraine has reportedly been pushing for more of t...

Texas Gov Abbott threatens to defund hospital over medicaid citizenship law dispute

By David Krayden | The Post Millennial Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is threatening to defund a children’s hospital after a Houston doctor released a video on TikTok telling patients to ignore a new state law requiring they reveal their citizenship when getting treatment. Abbott issued an executive order that took effect on Nov. 1 requiring hospitals accepting Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Plan payments to ask patients if they are citizens of the US on intake forms. Cardiologist at Texas Children’s Hospital Dr. Tony Pastor who is also an assistant professor at the Baylor College of Medicine released a TikTok video that said it was not necessary for patients to answer the questions and over 1 million people watched the video before it was taken down. “So my proposal ...

Trump’s tariff plan sparks heated debate on U.S. economics

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Americans are divided in their reactions to Trump’s tariff plans, with his base excited and Democrats angry. On both sides, there is some concern, worrying about the effectiveness of the plan—though Democrats are almost universally opposed. Optimists hope the tariffs will bring jobs back the U.S. and bolster immigration enforcement while critics say they will increase prices domestically. Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs, including 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on goods from China, is generating discussion. Conservatives overwhelmingly back the plan as a bold move to strengthen national security and boost domestic industries, while liberals criticize it as economically reckless. Moderates and Independents are largely ambivalent...

American hostage Omer Neutra confirmed dead; murdered October 7, body in Gaza

By Joel B. Pollak | Breitbart The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared Monday that American-Israeli hostage Omer Neutra, who was thought to have been taken alive to Gaza, was in fact killed during the October 7 terror attack and his body abducted by Hamas. Omer, who was 21 years old when he was killed, immigrated to Israel and joined the IDF as a “lone solder,” a term referring to those who join the military without any immediate family in Israel. He rose to the rank of Captain in a tank platoon in the 77th Battalion, 7th Brigade. His tank was hit by rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and other explosives in the assault, and though he and the other soldiers fought the terrorists outside the tank, they were killed. Israeli President Isaac Herzog issued a statement: READ THE FULL S...

Karine Jean-Pierre claims ‘war politics’ is the reason for Hunter Biden pardon

By Steven Nelson | New York Post White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly claimed Monday that President Biden pardoned his son Hunter because “war politics” prompted Hunter’s prosecution on gun and tax fraud charges — while insisting the Justice Department is not broadly politically biased, as President-elect Donald Trump claims. Jean-Pierre fielded fiery questions aboard Air Force One from journalists as Biden, 82, flew to Angola for an official visit following the Sunday night pardon. “The president took an action because of how politically infected these cases were,” Jean-Pierre told incredulous members of the press pool.

Hunter Biden receives most sweeping pardon since Nixon

By Brady Knox | Washington Examiner Hunter Biden‘s presidential pardon from his father is extraordinary enough that the last comparable incident was former President Richard Nixon’s pardon in 1974. On Sunday night, President Joe Biden announced a “full and unconditional pardon” on all “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” over an 11-year period after repeatedly vowing he wouldn’t. “I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon,” Margaret Love, U.S. pardon attorney from 1990 to 1997, told Politico.

Richendollar: Lori Chavez-DeRemer would be a disaster as labor secretary

By Nathan Richendollar | The Federalist Republicans should take the side of their own voters instead of listening to decadent union goons like Sean O’Brien. Donald Trump’s cabinet picks have been mostly stellar. They have signaled Trump’s administration will enforce U.S. immigration law, pursue a firm but less adventurous foreign policy, and most importantly, empower the people at the expense of the federal leviathan, as exemplified by the new Department of Government Efficiency. All of this makes Donald Trump’s Friday announcement of soon-to-be-former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ore., as his prospective Secretary of Labor incomprehensible and unacceptable. Donald Trump should force her to withdraw immediately. If not, the Senate should reject her appointment. RE...
