Trump puts US colleges on notice to ‘end antisemitic propaganda’ or ‘lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support’

By Ari Hoffman | The Post Millennial On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump said that all American universities must end campus antisemitism or they will lose accreditation and funding. At the rally against antisemitism in Washington, Trump said that to “defeat antisemitism and defend Jewish citizens in America, my first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that, if you do not end antisemitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support.” “Truth is, you don't have to do much after that. When you do that, it's gonna work miracles,” he quipped. As the crowd cheered, he added, “We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil.” ...

McMeekin: Trump should immediately stop federal agencies from hiding documents by needlessly marking them classified

By Sean McMeekin | Commentary, The Federalist Files should be open to the public unless otherwise specified, not secret by default. We the people have a right to know what our government does in our name, and to know our own history. Early in his third presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to establish a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” to “declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and abuses of power.” The phrase “Truth and Reconciliation” recalls bodies established to investigate abuses by toppled Communist regimes such as East Germany’s, or the former apartheid government of South Africa. The framing suggests that Trump views the entire past decade, from “Russiagate” to the “lawfare” cases entangling himself and his advisers, as the...

Trump proved rigged elections are winnable, and now they must be un-rigged

By Elle Purnell | Commentary, The Federalist The institutions that make elections less free and fair, from the corporate press to corrupt election offices, are weakened but not reformed. In the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his voters faced media interference, suspicious ballot dumps, politicized censorship of information, low-security election laws, polling place issues, and legally dubious Democrat get-out-the-vote operations. In the 2024 election, Donald Trump and his voters faced media interference, suspicious ballot dumps, politicized censorship of information, low-security election laws, polling place issues, and legally dubious Democrat get-out-the-vote operations. On top of those, he faced two assassination attempts...

Hammer: Trump is poised to make MAGA the country’s defining political movement

By Josh Hammer , Commentary | Daily Signal When one considers Donald Trump’s Cabinet selections announced thus far, there are a few themes that emerge. One discernible theme, which has been the subject of constant teeth-gnashing all week, is the unorthodox or perhaps outright surprising nature of some of the picks. Tulsi Gabbard, tapped as our next director of national intelligence, is not a career spy. Pete Hegseth, Trump’s inspired choice to be our next secretary of defense, is not a company man who steadily worked his way up through the Pentagon’s labyrinthine bureaucracy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, is a famously iconoclastic figure. And if you had consummate “Florida man” Matt Gaetz on your bingo card as...

Trump appoints Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to lead new Department of Government Efficiency

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will together establish a new Department of Government Efficiency in his second administration. Musk and Ramaswamy have been appointed to “slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure Federal Agencies,” Trump’s statement reads. The former president added that the government department led by Musk and Ramaswamy will partner with the White House Office of Management and Budget in an effort “to drive large scale structural reform.” “I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans. Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud ...

Sloan: The conservative’s duty in a second Trump presidency

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice We are now a week past election day, and it is time for a bit of circumspection. Donald Trump won, convincingly, both the electoral college and the popular vote. He is due his victory lap, as are Republicans in general, after having endured months of being called every rotten thing in the book. And yes, there is, in that vein, some amusement to be had at the expense of those on the left who are –- to put it mildly -- not handling the results well. But schadenfreude is an emotion best indulged in small doses, lest it eventually corrupts the soul. The Democrats are forced to undergo a considerable degree of introspection as they travel their post-election "Via Dolorsa". But conservatives too, after the celebratory firewo...

Former Chrysler exec says Trump’s win is prompting CEOs to move out of China

By Taylor Penley  | Fox Business President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory over Vice President Harris is already sending shockwaves through the business world as executives have looked to move production out of China since last week, former Home Depot and Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli told FOX Business. "I think he's [Trump] going to be very positive about growth. He's going to be very protective. He's going to try to re-shore onshore stuff out of China," he said Tuesday on "Mornings with Maria." "Big discussion yesterday about the supply issue, basically superseding the domestic demand issue in China, so a lot of the companies I'm talking to and CEOs are already looking at how they're going to move out of China, either onshore, back to the U.S., or re-shore to another favorab...

Trump selects Kristi Noem to head Department of Homeland Security 

By The Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) as secretary of homeland security.  Noem has been governor of South Dakota since 2019, the first woman to serve as governor in the state’s history. She won reelection in 2022 and began her second term in January 2023. She was elected to South Dakota’s at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010. Before Congress, Noem was elected to South Dakota’s House of Representatives in 2006. The news of her selection was reported by CNN. Noem was touted as a running mate for Trump in the 2024 election. However, a controversy surrounding a passage from Noem’s newly released book, in which she detailed having to kill a dog, quieted such rumors.  READ...
