Trump picks Kari Lake to lead Voice of America

By Kierra Frazier | Politico President-elect Donald Trump has selected Kari Lake to serve as the next director of Voice of America — the publicly funded broadcast network that drew his ire in his first term. Lake, a former local news anchor and staunch Trump ally, will be appointed by the next head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which Trump plans to announce soon, the president-elect said in a Truth Social post Wednesday. The U.S. Agency for Global Media oversees Voice of America. Trump said in the post that Lake and the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media will work “to ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.” READ THE FULL STORY AT POLITICO

Before he rang the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. Trump spoke at the exchange and called it “a tremendous honor.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Potential artificial red dye ban: Products that could be affected

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business A wide range of foods will be affected if the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) moves forward with plans to ban artificial red dye. According to the Eat Well Guide (EWG) Food Scores database, nearly 3,000 food products on the U.S. market contain red dye 3, including candy, certain brands of mashed potatoes, yellow rice and some medications. The list also includes a range of other foods, including breakfast cereals, beverages and baked goods.  The synthetic dye, also known as erythrosine, is an additive made from petroleum that gives foods and drinks a bright cherry-red color, according to the FDA. It is already banned in the European Union, and starting in January 2027, it will also be prohibited in foods sold or manufactured in California.  ...

Inside Team Trump’s big bet on election integrity in 2024 and how it paid off

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller If the 2020 election taught the Republican National Committee anything, it was that in a new world of drop-boxes and ballot harvesting, they needed to rethink how they play the game. And if the 2024 election proved anything, it was that going big on election integrity and working with third-party groups to turn out votes worked. After 2020, nearly two-thirds of Republicans and Trump voters said they had little faith votes were counted accurately, according to one poll. That year, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of election laws were changed and others were completely ignored in key swing states. Thanks to Democrat super lawyer Marc Elias, voters could use ballot drop-boxes, mail-in voting and early voting in states like Pennsylv...

How Pete Hegseth turned his Secretary of Defense confirmation fight around in 7 days

By Kristina Wong | Breitbart Just one week ago, Trump Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s confirmation appeared doomed after a barrage of hit pieces. However, after launching an intense campaign to defend himself, he now appears to be on a path towards confirmation. By last Monday, things did not look so good. No fewer than four hit pieces had dropped, one after another, just as Hegseth began to meet with senators responsible for confirming him. They were all based on anonymous allegations, some ten years old, but the pile-up became too much to ignore. Republican senators began expressing doubts. On Tuesday, December 3, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called the allegations “very disturbing.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO murder silent no more after outburst

By Christina Coulter , Audrey Conklin  | Fox News Luigi Mangione, the man charged with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, broke his day of silence with an outburst as he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse, where he challenged his arrest.

He was seen whispering with his attorney, Thomas Dickey, glancing at reporters and mumbling to himself at the Blair County Court hearing around 2 p.m. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Sloan: Is the end of Assad the end of Obama foreign policy?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Few tears, if any, will be shed for the demise of the Assad regime in Syria, save perhaps a few in Moscow and Tehran. The rapid success of the Syrian rebels last weekend took most everyone by surprise, not just the Biden administration to whom any world event not thoroughly discoursed upon The View or plastered on the front page of the New York Times apparently comes as a surprise.  The fall of the Syrian regime is a strategic boon for the U.S.A., even though the U.S.A. had little, if anything, to do with bringing it about. The survival of the brutish, terror-sponsoring regime in Damascus was made possible only by the will and backing of Moscow and, later, Tehran. Syria was the Soviet Union’s key middle eastern pr...
