Republicans win House, delivering Trump a trifecta

By Emily Brooks | The Hill Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with President-elect Trump back in the White House in January. Decision Desk HQ projected the GOP would hold the House by winning its 218th seat on Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber. The result is a major win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who skyrocketed up from obscurity to lead the House GOP not only legislatively, but also in a large role in its campaign infrastructure.

Sturmon: In the next chapter, Trump’s return and the dream team driving change

By Dawn Sturmon | Commentary, The Conservateur Is it just me, or has the air suddenly cleared, the sun started shining a little brighter, and everything around us feels less... frenzied? That’s how it feels knowing that Donald Trump will soon take the White House reins again. After years of chaos, broken promises, fake news, and empty rhetoric, there’s a refreshing return to clarity — plans that are firm and unapologetically ambitious. I imagine I’m not alone in this feeling. It’s a collective exhale — a sigh of relief as we prepare for a transformative new chapter in American politics. A New Team of Change-Makers Now, here’s the fun part. I’m not just excited about Trump’s return; it’s the team he’s bringing with him that’s lighting up the stage. This is a lineup of political ou...

Cleveland: The lesson some leftists have learned from Trump’s win should terrify Americans

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist Since Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris last Tuesday, the legacy press has been hosting a public inquest into her demise. Three competing theories soon dominated the discussions — only one of which accepted the reality that Americans rejected the far-left policies and candidate on the merits. While some Democrats and media outlets took this somber approach to the post-mortem, a second and more vocal segment of the press and Harris voting bloc instead declared that Trump’s election proves a majority of Americans are racist, sexist autocrats. The election of Barack Obama, Harris’ previous victories as a senator and a vice-presidential candidate, coupled with the increase in support Donald Trump garnered from minorities and women, q...

Trump appoints Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy

By Mabinty Quarshie | Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump has tapped immigration hawk Stephen Miller as White House deputy chief of staff for policy, a prominent sign that enacting a mass deportation of immigrants is a key priority for him. Miller joins the already announced Tom Homan, former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, as “border czar.” The two leaders have pushed for restrictive immigration policy in the nation and will likely have the resources to enforce their vision starting in January. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance took to social media to congratulate Miller on the promotion Monday. “This is another fantastic pick by the president. Congrats @StephenM!” he wrote on X.

Donald Trump Picks Tom Homan to Oversee Border Security, Deportations

By Neil Munro | Breitbart Border hawk Thomas Homan is getting a prize border security job in the new administration, incoming President Donald Trump said in a message via his Truth Social media network. Homan is an experienced border officer who served as acting chief of the vital Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency in 2017 and 2018. The agency is responsible for finding, arresting, and deporting illegal migrants. Homan strongly supported Trump during the 2024 election. However, the statement did not say Homan would be nominated to run the Department of Homeland Security or the ICE agency. If nominated and confirmed by the Senate for either job, he would have the funding, personnel, and legal authority to deport many illegal migrants. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

No, Trump’s too-big-to-rig victory doesn’t ‘lay to rest’ election integrity issues

By Logan Washburn | The Federalist Biden and corporate media want Americans to stop caring about election integrity. Advocates say there is still plenty of work to be done. After former President Donald Trump won the election in a landslide, President Joe Biden claimed election integrity is an issue of the past. Election integrity advocates beg to differ. “I hope we can lay to rest the question about the integrity of the American electorate system. It is honest, it is fair and it is transparent. And it can be trusted, win or lose,” Biden said on Nov. 7 according to The Hill.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Kalam: Lessons (not) learned from the 2024 election

By Ahnaf Kalam | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice As I settled into my usual spot at my go-to Colfax bar for its election watch party, donning my black MAGA hat, I could feel the tension even before the manager approached me. I’d come to watch the election results, as did everybody else, but it seemed my hat alone was enough to make people uneasy. The manager — a friend, or so I thought — came over and, with a forced smile, asked if I’d either remove the hat or leave. Her reasoning was that “some women in the bar don’t feel safe with you openly supporting a rapist.” Leaving aside the fact that the allegation she referred to is, at best, tenuous and politically motivated, I had to marvel at the double standard. People in Biden or Harris attire were mingling freely, without so...

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...
