UFC President Dana White says he’s done with politics for good after Trump victory

By Paulina Dedaj  | Fox News UFC President Dana White is among President-elect Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters and was undoubtedly an instrumental part in his bid to win a second presidency, but Trump’s longtime friend is done with politics after this last election cycle.  In an interview with the New Yorker following UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden last weekend, White told the magazine that he has likely endorsed his last politician.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Trump’s energy ‘dream team’: Chris Wright and Doug Burgum’s potential to-do list

By Breck Dumas  | Fox Business President-elect Trump has tapped two energy czars to oversee the expansion of American energy in his second term, and the industry has already handed the incoming administration and Congress a wish list of what they would like to see as the top priorities of leadership's agenda. On Friday, the incoming commander-in-chief announced in a press release that North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum will not only be his nominee for Secretary of the Department of Interior, but will head up a new National Energy Council, which "which will consist of all Departments and Agencies involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation, of ALL forms of American Energy."

Trump’s pick for energy secretary, Colorado’s Chris Wright, says the real crisis is ‘energy poverty’

By Scott Weiser | The Gazette, via Colorado Politics President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Energy, Colorado's Chris Wright, views the world divided between the haves and have-nots — with a specific eye toward access to energy, arguing that, instead of a “climate" agenda, America should focus on ensuring a wide array of cheap, abundant and sustainable energy sources that include geothermal, nuclear, oil and gas.  He argued that this approach is the antidote to what he described as an “energy crisis,” in which a minority of the world’s population has access to abundant energy, while the rest lives in “energy poverty.” The approach, which he outlined in several articles for Colorado Politics and The Denver Gazette, will likely serve as a philosophical guidepo...

Prosecutors request stay in Trump NY case until 2029 as defense plans motion for dismissal ‘once and for all’

By Brooke Singman  | Fox News New York prosecutors are requesting a stay until at least 2029 in New York v. Trump, as the president's defense attorneys prepare to move to dismiss the case entirely.   Prosecutors wrote a letter to Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday, who agreed last week to grant a stay on all deadlines associated with the conviction proceedings against Trump in the final months before he takes office.  Merchan granted the request, which issues a stay on all deadlines, including the Nov. 26 sentencing date, to consider the effect of his election as president.

Truax: Don’t let Trump’s decisive victory lull you into a false sense of election security

By Doug Truax | Commentary, The Federalist The incoming Trump administration must make election integrity a top priority through federal legislation or persuading states to pass reforms. Four years ago, I asserted that we can “never again” allow an election like 2020 to happen. I’m back to say that despite Trump’s near landslide, America’s election system is still broken. And the time to fix it is immediately, while President Trump has the wind at his back with a Republican Congress and the public on his side.

The case of Justine Bateman—and why gen X broke for Trump

By Peter Savodnik | The Free Press Three days after the election, Justine Bateman, the former Family Ties star, catapulted herself into the political muck with a tweetstorm to her 140,000 followers that began: “Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.”  She continued: “Common sense was discarded, intellectual discussion was demonized. . . Complete intolerance became almost a religion and one’s professional and social life was threatened almost constantly. Those that spoke otherwise were ruined as a warning to others. Their destruction was displayed in the ‘town square’ of social media for all to see.” In other words, she said out loud the thing everyone has been thinking. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FREE PRESS

Potential Trump education secretary calls for DOE to be ‘shut down’: ‘Put parents back in the driver’s seat’

By Taylor Penley  | Fox News Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice has been frequently floated as a potential pick for President-elect Donald Trump's education secretary, but the same agency she could lead is also one she says should be abolished. "Parents are the number one driver of student success. Parents were put in the back seat when it came to their kids' education. We need to put them in the driver's seat, and I know that President Trump believes that, too," Justice said Monday on "Fox & Friends First." "Ultimately, I believe the Department of Education should be shut down. Since it was created, we have only seen plummeting achievement scores, teachers unions having more influence on our kids' education and more global interference in our kids' education. It...

CNN panelist says Trump’s UFC entourage looked like ‘ancient Rome,’ surrounded by ‘political gladiators’

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller The Bulwark national political reporter Marc Caputo said Sunday on CNN that President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks look like “ancient Rome,” comparing it to being surrounded by “political gladiators.” Over the course of the past week, Trump has revealed his picks for top positions within his Cabinet, with Democrats reacting to some of them in extreme measures. On “Inside Politics with Manu Raju,” CNN political analyst Astead Herndon said that Trump’s nominations have not only forced Republicans to choose where their allegiance lies, but also noted how the nominees have become stars, making their first appearance at UFC 309 in New York City on Saturday evening. “He’s flood the zone with these picks and forced Republicans to choose. I think it’s ...

Madison: Efficiency in government, an oxymoron!

By John Alexander Madison | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice A U.S. senator, Chris Coons (D-DE), said again he is “amused” that it will take two billionaires to oversee President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency! (D.O.G.E) He is amused that it would take two people to run this new department. But the average American patriot is hardly laughing that it takes $200 billion and 4,400 federal employees to run a useless and inefficient Department of Education. If you ask me, I’d suggest hiring two well-paid people every time we can eliminate 4,400 federal employees from our ever-expanding and bloated federal bureaucracy…one agency or department after another. The fact is these two billionaires won’t be drawing a salary from our federal taxpayer dollars…...

Trump inner circle shares McDonald’s meal as Donald Jr. jokes ‘Make America Healthy Again starts tomorrow’

By Stephen Sorace | Fox News President-elect Trump and members of his inner circle shared a McDonald’s meal aboard Trump’s private plane, with Donald Trump Jr. posting a photo Sunday morning and joking that the Trump campaign’s mission to make Americans healthier will have to wait a day. Trump and his entourage included Elon Musk, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., Donald Trump Jr. and, perhaps most surprisingly, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services secretary. Kennedy, an outspoken critic of processed foods, was pictured with McDonald’s food and a Coca-Cola. Trump Jr. captioned the photo, "Make America Healthy Again starts TOMORROW." READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS
