Trump reportedly looks to privatize United States Postal Service

By Julianna Frieman | Daily Caller President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly looking to privatize the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), three people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post in a report published Sunday. Trump has made known his desire to detach the USPS from the federal government in conversations at his Mar-a-Lago estate, sources informed the outlet, including with Howard Lutnick, his commerce secretary pick and co-chair of his presidential transition team. In early December, Trump also talked with a group of transition team officials to feel out their opinions on privatizing the agency, one person told the outlet. As mail volume declines for the Postal Service, the agency has reportedly lost $9.5 billion in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30, Th...

ABC news to apologize, pay $16 million in defamation suit settlement with Donald Trump

By Haley Strack | National Review ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement in a defamation suit brought by President-elect Donald Trump, which requires the network to apologize, contribute $15 million to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff,” and pay Trump’s legal team $1 million. Defendants also must say they “regret” the defamatory comments, which Stephanopoulos made on-air in March during a broadcast with South Carolina representative Nancy Mace, that spurred Trump’s lawsuit. During the broadcast, the news anchor asked Mace why she supported Trump, who he said was found liable in Manhattan for raping E. Jean Carroll. “You’ve endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable...

Congress is ramming through a $895 billion pork-filled defense bill before Trump takes office

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist Clocking in at 1,813 pages, the 2025 NDAA is stuffed with items unrelated to defense policy and void of conservative priorities. Congressional leaders are gearing up to ram through a $895 billion pork-filled defense bill before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office next month. According to The Hill, the House is expected to vote on the 1,813-page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025 on Wednesday. Released on Saturday night, the legislation — which was negotiated behind closed doors by congressional leadership — is stuffed with items unrelated to defense policy and void of conservative priorities included in the version passed by the GOP-controlled House earlier this year.

Donald Trump rings NYSE Bell as he’s named TIME Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’

By Simon Kent | Breitbart President-elect Donald Trump just can’t stop winning. On Thursday he rang the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange as he was confirmed TIME Magazine’s “Person of the Year” and was met by cheers and applause from the trading floor as well as cries of “USA… USA.” Trump was on Wall Street to mark the ceremonial start of the day’s trading in a gesture first performed by fellow Republican President Ronald Reagan back in the mid-1980s. 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

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...

‘A fragrance your enemies can’t resist’: ‘Fight, fight, fight’ Trump fragrance uses Jill Biden to sell it

By Aimee Picchi | CBS Colorado President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday used a photo of himself sitting next to first lady Jill Biden to announce a new line of fragrances on his Truth Social app, with the caption, "A fragrance your enemies can't resist!" The fragrance line, called "Fight, Fight, Fight," includes cologne for men and a perfume for women, each retailing for $199. Trump is also selling bundles of two or more fragrances, with the second item 50% off, according to the GetTrumpFragrances.com website. The photo of Jill Biden seated near Trump was taken Dec. 7 when they, along with dozens of heads of state and officials, attended the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, five years after the landmark suffered a massive fire that toppled its spire. The image captures th...

Hegseth, Trump’s Sec. of Defense pick, is ‘good man, committed to America’, U.S. Rep.-elect Crank says

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice While half of the eight Coloradans in the U.S. House are Republican, when it comes down to a vote on confirming President Donald J. Trump's nominees, it is unlikely anyone can depend on one from Colorado senators. "There are lots of Republicans who voted to confirm all or most of Joe Biden's cabinet, and that's the way it should work," said new U.S. Rep.-elect Jeff Crank, a Republican, of Colorado Springs' 5th District during an appearance on the Dan Caplis Show. https://twitter.com/jeffcrank/status/1864718732997841189 He is joined in the U.S. House by Republican U.S. Reps. Lauren Boebert (4th District), Gabe Evans (8th District) and Jeff Hurd (3rd District). The U.S. Senate holds the advise and consent approval power over nominees, mean...

Trump says he’ll act on ‘first day’ on Jan. 6 defendants, but perhaps not by pardon

By Scott MacFarlane | CBS Colorado President-elect Donald Trump plans to act on the "first day" of his presidency on the cases of some Jan. 6 defendants and said he believes the House members on the select Jan. 6 committee who investigated the 2021 Capitol riot, including Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson and former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, "should go to jail." In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Trump told host Kristen Welker he would not direct the FBI director or attorney general to do so, but said "I think they'll have to look at that." The president-elect was also pressed on whether he would pardon some or all of the Capitol riot defendants. He indicated he would not issue a universal blanket pardon: "We're going to look at independent cases."...

Harris won female cat owners, but Trump got the dog owner vote: AP VoteCast

By  Linley Sanders, Humera Lodhi and Annie Ng | AP The lead-up to the 2024 election was all about cat owners — but in the end, the dogs had their day. President-elect Donald Trump won slightly more than half of voters who own either cats or dogs, with a big assist from dog owners, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. Dog owners were much more likely to support Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris. Cat owners, meanwhile, were split between the two candidates. About two-thirds of voters said they own a dog or cat, but pet owners don't usually get much attention from politicians. That is, until this year, when then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance's old comments about “childless cat ladies” briefly became a campaign issue — and Taylor Swift signed he...
