Speaker Johnson orders entire Biden team to preserve and retain records, documents

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday ordered the entire administration of President Joe Biden to preserve all records and communications in the waning days of the outgoing Democrat administration as former President Donald Trump’s team prepares to take over. Johnson, Breitbart News has learned exclusively, has sent letters to all 18 federal Departments ordering them to retain and preserve documents. This could become an explosive storyline if outgoing Biden administration officials attempt to delete or destroy documents that shed light on some of the radical policies they pursued or scandals with regard to censorship or other major storylines of the past four years, such as the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan or the wide open border. If anyone is caug...

Sloan: The conservative’s duty in a second Trump presidency

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice We are now a week past election day, and it is time for a bit of circumspection. Donald Trump won, convincingly, both the electoral college and the popular vote. He is due his victory lap, as are Republicans in general, after having endured months of being called every rotten thing in the book. And yes, there is, in that vein, some amusement to be had at the expense of those on the left who are –- to put it mildly -- not handling the results well. But schadenfreude is an emotion best indulged in small doses, lest it eventually corrupts the soul. The Democrats are forced to undergo a considerable degree of introspection as they travel their post-election "Via Dolorsa". But conservatives too, after the celebratory firewo...

Democrat wouldn’t support eliminating the filibuster now that GOP has Senate

By Ashe Schow | Daily Wire A House Democrat says she would have supported eliminating the filibuster if Democrats had control of the White House, Senate, and House, but she doesn’t support it now that Republicans have won all three levers of power. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), chair of the Progressive Caucus, was speaking at a press conference on Monday about the 2024 election results when she was asked about her previous support for ending the filibuster. “Am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now when the Senate has the trifecta? No,” she said, referring to Republicans taking back control of the White House and Senate and likely maintaining control of the House. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

James O’Keefe’s suit against CNN can proceed following appeals court decision

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial After three years, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Georgia has delivered a victory in a case brought forth by James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Group, and his former group Project Veritas, against CNN for defamation. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Branch wrote in an opinion  for the court that on February 11, 2021, the Project Veritas account on then-Twitter was suspended. CNN’s Ana Cabrera claimed on February 15 that the account had been banned for "promoting misinformation," while Project Veritas said that it was because it had violated Twitter’s "publication of private information," or "doxxing" policy. "When CNN refused to issue a retraction, Veritas sued for defamation. The district court granted CNN’s motio...

Judge could count Trump’s second term as community service, Fox’s Turley says

By Nicole Silverio | Daily Caller George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Tuesday that the judge overseeing President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money case could count Trump’s upcoming presidency as community service. Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, granted a request on Tuesday made by prosecutors and defense teams to pause all deadlines and the president-elect’s sentencing date in order to review the impact of Trump’s victory. Turley said the idea of imposing a delay on the case until after Trump’s presidency would not be a “welcome” idea, suggesting that the judge could instead count the presidency as community service or ensure there be no jail time. “There’s gonna be some maneuvering going on as to what can be still reviewed,” Turley told...

Former Chrysler exec says Trump’s win is prompting CEOs to move out of China

By Taylor Penley  | Fox Business President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory over Vice President Harris is already sending shockwaves through the business world as executives have looked to move production out of China since last week, former Home Depot and Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli told FOX Business. "I think he's [Trump] going to be very positive about growth. He's going to be very protective. He's going to try to re-shore onshore stuff out of China," he said Tuesday on "Mornings with Maria." "Big discussion yesterday about the supply issue, basically superseding the domestic demand issue in China, so a lot of the companies I'm talking to and CEOs are already looking at how they're going to move out of China, either onshore, back to the U.S., or re-shore to another favorab...

Trump selects Kristi Noem to head Department of Homeland Security 

By The Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) as secretary of homeland security.  Noem has been governor of South Dakota since 2019, the first woman to serve as governor in the state’s history. She won reelection in 2022 and began her second term in January 2023. She was elected to South Dakota’s at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010.

However, a controversy surrounding a passage from Noem’s newly released book, in which she detailed having to kill a dog, quieted such rumors.  READ...
