Harris campaign blew through $1 billion in 107 days

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Americans are disgusted at the Harris campaign’s spending, tying it to beliefs that Democrats are fiscally irresponsible. Reports of the campaign ending with $20 million in debt, after fundraising $1 billion, lead voters to draw parallels with government overspending with no tangible results. Some contrast Trump’s promises to cut government spending with Harris’s runaway spending, expressing relief that Trump is the president-elect. Recent reports allege the Harris campaign spent the $1 billion dollars it fundraised, and after only 107 days, ended the campaign with a $20 million debt. This news elicits sharply negative voter reactions. Reactions point to widespread perceptions of fiscal irresponsibility and elite detachment from American co...

Court shoots down Biden admin’s mass amnesty order for hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants

By Jason Hopkins | Daily Caller The Biden-Harris administration suffered a major defeat in federal court on Thursday amid its fight to provide amnesty for up to half a million illegal migrants living in the United States. President Joe Biden’s executive order that attempted to provide a pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants married to American citizens is unlawful, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Texas ruled on Thursday. Biden’s order, which was first announced over the summer, was challenged by the Texas attorney general and a slate of other GOP-led states. “Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders,” stated Gene...

Eric Adams ends free debit card program for illegal immigrants in NYC shelters

By The Post Millennial In the wake of Donald Trump's decisive presidential win, New York Mayor Eric Adams has announced that he plans to stop giving illegal immigrants free food vouchers. The program was in place for asylum seekers paroled into the US by the Biden-Harris administration. The move from Adams ends the pilot program that saw the city handing out debit cards to illegal immigrants staying in city shelters. The program had been in place for a year and enabled illegal immigrants to buy food.  ABC 7, the New York affiliate, indicated that bringing the program to an end once the contract period comes to a close was anti-humanitarian. "The so-called Immediate Response Cards pilot program was designed to feed migrant families who found themselves in New York with n...

Geert Wilders condemns ‘pogrom in the streets of Amsterdam’ after Israeli soccer fans brutally attacked

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders has condemned what appeared to be an organized, widespread targeted attack by anti-Israel rioters in Amsterdam on Thursday night, branding it a “pogrom” on the streets of the capital. As Breitbart News reported, Dutch security forces appeared unable to protect the tourists as they were ambushed by roaming gangs of masked attackers who shouted “Free Palestine” as they hunted, beat and brutally harassed the Israelis. The targeted violence came after the local Ajax soccer team defeated Israel’s visiting Maccabi Tel Aviv. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

On Friday, Scott launched his bid to lead the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) for the 2026 midterm cycle, after speculation last month that he planned to do so. "Let’s do this! I’m running for NRSC Chair because two years of a Republican agenda is good, but four years of success under Donald J. Trump is even better," he told Fox News Digital in a statement.

What a Republican majority in the U.S. Senate means for Americans

By Jen Schumann | Contributor, Rocky Mountain Voice Republicans held their first U.S. Senate majority from 1869-1871, after the Civil War. When the 119th Congress meets on Jan. 3, 2025, the seventh Republican Senate majority in history will get to work. With this Senate majority, President Trump will likely have the legislative support to enact his GOP platform without significant roadblocks. As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kent., steps down, choosing his successor for the new majority is key. It will shape the Senate's direction. After being sworn in on Jan. 3, the next leader will be chosen. McConnell held a hearing this week to discuss election outcomes. He stressed that, by regaining the Senate, Republicans could "set the guardrails" on legislation. "One of the...

Across America on Election Night, voters mostly rejected ranked-choice voting measures

By Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner, via Colorado Politics Voters across the country weighed in on ranked choice voting ballot initiatives Tuesday, with a vast majority rejecting the system amid an intensifying debate over its effects on elections. RCV, which allows voters to rank candidates by preference rather than selecting only one, has faced mounting opposition at both state and local levels. This year’s election results featured a mixed outcome, with state-level ballot measures predominantly failing but some cities voting to adopt or maintain RCV. READ THE FULL STORY AT COLORADO POLITICS

The reaction of ag-related groups following the election of Donald Trump

By Hagstrom Report  | The Fence Post Several agriculture-related groups today congratulated President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance and made comments about their priorities for the next administration. American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall congratulated Trump and all the senators and House members elected. “Now that the American people have spoken, it’s time to put politics aside and begin the work of ensuring families nationwide can prosper,” Duvall said. “Among the most pressing issues in rural America is the need for a new, modernized farm bill. The two-year delay is unacceptable. The new administration must also address the impending tax hikes, which would crush many of America’s farmers and ranchers when stacked on top of inflation, high supply c...

Kamala Harris admits that everything she said about Trump was a lie

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris admitted on Wednesday that she knew every single attack she launched against President-Elect Donald Trump and his presidency was a bald-faced lie. More than twelve hours after Trump delivered a stunning blow to the regime and swept both the popular vote and Electoral College, Harris took the stage at Howard University to begrudgingly concede. She could have conceded in the wee hours of the morning, but that would have required showing up when it mattered — something she clearly doesn’t do (see her disastrous handling of Afghanistan). But it wasn’t her hollow speech about “unity” and “joy” that stood out. It was the moment she openly confessed to spreading egregious falsehoods about Trump for months, all...
