How the White House Thanksgiving turkey pardon came to be

By Emily Hallas | Washington Examiner U.S. presidents have for decades dutifully trotted out before Thanksgiving to hold an obligatory turkey pardoning ceremony on the White House grounds.  The presidential practice of granting clemency to a choice selection of lucky turkeys just before millions of citizens feast is now an established American tradition.  But then how did it all begin? Here’s a look from the Washington Examiner into how the ceremony came into existence.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Bensman: Why reviving Trump’s ‘remain in Mexico’ policy will swiftly reduce border chaos

By Todd Bensman | Commentary, The Federalist Remain in Mexico worked very well under President Trump’s first term and foreshadows a more tranquil border very soon. In July 2019, I crossed the international bridge from El Paso into the sprawling Mexican border city of Juárez to gauge the effects of President Donald Trump’s so-called “Remain in Mexico” policy. On that blazing hot summer day, as 20,000 of an eventual 75,000 had just been expelled under the policy, I made my way by taxi to a shelter high up on a rise in the dangerous neighborhood of Anapra. The shelter is within eyesight of Mexico’s side of the American wall and El Paso beyond. I was soon interviewing recent expellee Veronica Janeth Tejeda of Yoro in northwestern Honduras as she played with one of her two expelled chi...

Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci responsible for ‘side effects, lying and ruining economies,’ Joe Rogan says

By Meredith Evans| Evie Joe Rogan slams Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci in a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. Joined by independent researchers Jimmy Corsetti (Bright Insight) and Dan Richards (DeDunking the Past), the host didn't hold back in criticizing “experts” Gates and Dr. Fauci for what he described as a profit grab. Rogan called the “health authorities” during the pandemic “puppets.” Rogan accused Gates of hypocrisy, referencing the Microsoft founder’s advocacy for COVID-19 vaccines. “Bill Gates, who’s on television telling everybody, ‘Get the vaccine, you won’t get COVID,’ and then afterward it turns out—it didn’t work. He’d already unloaded all of his stock,” Rogan said. He alleged that Gates had profited from vaccine investmen...

Walmart rolls back DEI policies, becoming latest U.S. firm to join growing trend

By Breck Dumas , Daniella Genovese | Fox Business Walmart is making a slate of changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, becoming the latest in a growing list of major corporations to halt the so-called "woke" initiatives. Anti-woke activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck, who has been leading a campaign exposing major corporations' woke policies, said on X on Monday that he warned Walmart executives last week that he would be doing a story on "wokeness" at the retail giant. "Instead," Starbuck shared, "we had productive conversations to find solutions." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Elon threatens to buy MSNBC and the internet cheers

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Comcast is reportedly looking to sell MSNBC, causing a deluge of jokes and calls for Elon Musk to buy the network. Eroding trust in traditional media creates enthusiasm for authentic alt-media outlets like X that counter elite capture and narrative control. Americans are both angry at the establishment and cautiously hopeful for the future if Elon Musk steps in to liberate more media platforms.  Recent reports suggest Comcast is preparing to sell MSNBC after increasingly dramatic ratings casualties post-election. Elon Musk, who has become infamous for purchasing Twitter in 2022, is making hay of the situation by joking about buying MSNBC. READ THE FULL STORY AT MIG REPORTS

Tom Homan responds to Denver mayor: ‘He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail’

By  Hanna Panreck | Fox News Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston recently said he was prepared to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump administration's border policies. The president-elect's pick to be the next border czar responded that he's willing to put him there. "You are absolutely breaking the law," Tom Homan, Trump's "border czar" designate, told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "All he has to do is look at Arizona v. U.S. and he would see he's breaking the law. But, look, me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing. He’s willing to go to jail, I’m willing to put him in jail." The Denver mayor has also predicted a "Tiananmen Square moment" if the administration carries out its plans.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Biden admin’s ‘woke’ housing agenda faces rude awakening under Republican control

By M.D. Kittle | The Federalist ‘DEI programs masquerade as fairness while instead fostering division, inefficiency, and discrimination,’ said Rep. Michael Cloud. As Rep. Bob Good departs Congress, he’s taking on the disaster that is DEI one more time.  The Virginia Republican recently introduced two bills aimed at dealing with the escalating cost and shortage of housing while combating the discriminatory practices of the so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda in public housing policy.

Canada, Mexico to face 25% tariffs, China 10% until borders are secure, drug importation stops, Trump says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice President-elect Donald Trump has put Canada and Mexico on notice -- close their borders with the United States or face the penalty of tariffs on all imports into the United States. Crime and drugs "at levels never seen before" are pouring through porous borders to the north and south of the United States, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday. As one of his "many first Executive Orders," Trump pledged to charge Canada and Mexico 25% tariffs. "This tariff will remain in effect until such time as drugs, in particular fentanyl, and all illegal aliens stop this invasion of our country!," Trump wrote. "Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem." Until they do, Trump wrote, "it is...

Rand Paul suggests Denver mayor opposing deportations is ‘a form of insurrection’

By Asher Notheis | Washington Examiner Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) warned that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston could face legal repercussions over his opposition to President-elect Donald Trump‘s proposed mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Johnston is one of several mayors who have stated they will not assist the incoming Trump administration with its deportation plan, stating that Denver would “continue to be a welcoming, open, big-hearted city.” Paul, who has expressed criticism of Trump’s plan to use the Army to carry out his deportation plan, warned the mayor that his resistance could be taken to the Supreme Court, where he could potentially be removed from office. “I don’t know whether or not there would be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal l...
