Guatemalan migrant accused of torching sleeping woman on NYC subway indicted  on murder and arson charges

By Georgett Roberts and Ronny Reyes | New York Post The illegal immigrant accused of torching a sleeping woman on a Brooklyn subway train was officially indicted in court for murder and arson on Friday morning.   Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, 33, an undocumented migrant from Guatemala, waived his appearance in court as he was indicted on first and second degree murder and one count of arson for the horrifying Sunday killing aboard the F train. The accused firebug allegedly approached the sleeping woman, who was so badly burnt she has yet to be identified, and ignited her clothes, with video showing him fanning the flames as it engulfed her, officials said.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Democrat lawyers call for congress to block Trump from taking office

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Two Democrat lawyers called for Congress to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office in an op-ed published by the Hill on Thursday, prompting disbelief and ridicule from Republicans. In the piece titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now,” lawyers Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte argued that the Constitution says an insurrectionist is ineligible to be president and “the evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.” They argued that the “matter has been decided in three separate forums” — one of which they said was the Rep. Nancy Pelosi-appointed January 6th Committee — which a recent House Republican review into the committee concluded was “designed...

Mortgage rates rise for second straight week, highest since July

By Matthew Kazin  | Fox Business Mortgage rates spiked this week to the highest level in five months, ending the year slightly higher than where they started. Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Thursday, showed that the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage jumped to 6.85%, up from last week's reading of 6.72%. The average rate on a 30-year loan was 6.61% a year ago. This week's increase marked the highest level on the 30-year loan since mid-July, when the rate was 6.89%, according to Freddie Mac data. The lowest rate this year was 6.08% at the end of September, while the highest — 7.22% — was reached at the beginning of May. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Marianne Williamson, 72, formerly a candidate for President, launches bid to become next DNC chair 

By Samantha-Jo Roth | The Washington Examiner Former Democratic presidential candidate and author Marianne Williamson launched a bid to become chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on Thursday, joining a crowded field of candidates attempting to “make things right” for the party after its election losses last month.  “MAGA is a distinctly 21st century political movement and it will not be defeated by a 20th century tool kit. Data analysis, fundraising, field organizing, and beefed-up technology — while all are important — will not be enough to prepare the way for Democratic victory in 2024 and beyond. That’s why I have decided to run for DNC Chair this year,” Williamson wrote in a post on her Substack on Thursday morning.  Wil...

These three inmates were the only ones on federal death row Biden did not commute

By Melissa Quinn | CBS Colorado President Biden on Monday announced he had commuted the sentences of nearly all federal inmates on death row, with the exception of three who did not receive clemency. There are 37 inmates initially sentenced to death who will be impacted by Mr. Biden's action and will now receive life in prison without the possibility of parole. But the remaining three on death row whose sentences are untouched are: Robert Bowers, convicted for the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue; Dylann Roof, convicted of the shooting at the Mother Emanuel AME Church; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, convicted for the Boston Marathon bombing. While Mr. Biden campaigned on ending capital punishment and the Justice Department imposed a moratorium on federal executio...

In advance of Trump inauguration, Biden Admin working to make 1,200 DEI hires

By Sarah Holliday  | Daily Signal Within 10 days of President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory, 33 DEI-related jobs were posted by the federal government. Now, with barely a month until Trump takes office, The Daily Wire reported that the feds are “currently in the process of hiring as many as 1,200 employees to work on … [diversity, equity, and inclusion]—employees who would be embedded into the permanent federal workforce headed into the Trump administration.” The outlet noted that the posted “jobs have annual salaries of up to $310,000 and could add up to total salary payouts of $160 million a year.” One example was the job listed by the Department of Health and Human Services on Nov. 15. The position was a deputy assistant secretary for Minority Health, and ...

Elon Musk shoots down ‘wrong-headed economic thinking,’ says there’s ‘infinite potential’ for job creation

ByAlex Nitzberg | Fox Business Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk shot down a scarcity mindset and suggested that there is basically unlimited potential for creating jobs and businesses. "The ‘fixed pie’ fallacy is at the heart of much wrong-headed economic thinking. There is essentially infinite potential for job and company creation. Think of all the things that didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago!" Musk declared in a post on X. Musk's comment was in response to a post from entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale who had mentioned Sriram Krishnan — who President-elect Trump recently tapped for a role in his upcoming administration. Last month, Krishnan advocated for lifting a cap on green cards when replying to a post of Musk's regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (...

Joe Biden wrapped: How Delaware’s favorite son fared during his final year in office

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden had an eventful last year in office, from losing track of his Defense Secretary to breaking one last promise and pardoning his son, all while dropping out of the presidential race and saying his final goodbye to the Oval Office. Biden’s approval rating hit an all-time low, falling to 34% just two weeks before the end of the year. Biden battled low approval ratings before dropping out of the presidential race, but still managed to fight off a special counsel report, make it to the first debate, and overshadow Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing arguments before her loss. Biden’s 2024 began with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA as he and the Pentagon forgot to notify the White House about his hospitalization for several d...

Trump suggests Canadians should ‘draft Wayne Gretzky’ to run for Prime Minister amid Trudeau upheaval

By Dylan Gwinn | Breitbart Should Canadians decide to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President-Elect Trump has an idea of who can do so. The soon-to-be 47th president of the United States took to social media on Wednesday and suggested that hockey great Wayne Gretzky replace the embattled current prime minister. “I just left Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One as he is known in Ice Hockey circles,” Trump wrote. I said, ‘Wayne, why don’t you run for Prime Minister of Canada, soon to be known as the Governor of Canada – You would win easily, you wouldn’t even have to campaign.’ “He had no interest, but I think the people of Canada should start a DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement. It would be so much fun to watch!” READ THE FULL STORY BREITBART

Trump has Christmas message to ‘Radical Left Lunatics,’ tells inmates Biden granted clemency to ‘GO TO HELL!’

By Alex Nitzberg  | Fox News President-elect Trump dished out a fiery Christmas message on Wednesday in which he wished a "Merry Christmas" to "Radical Left Lunatics," told the 37 prisoners whose death row sentences were recently commuted by President Biden to "GO TO HELL!" and more. "Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME. They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing," Trump declared on Truth Social. "Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no ...
