Trump, Vance snubbed at Cheney funeral; Bush eulogizes: 'Handled pressure and took the hits'

Former President George W. Bush delivered the eulogy for former Vice President Dick Cheney at the Washington National Cathedral during a Thursday funeral service to which President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were reportedly not invited.

Former President Joe Biden, who once called Cheney "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history," joined the other four living former vice presidents — Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore and Dan Quayle — to honor Cheney, who died Nov. 3 at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

During his eulogy, Bush emphasized his view of his two-term vice president as a steadfast friend, devoted family man and patriot whose public service across 40 years was "consistent, faithful and noble."

"This was a vice president totally devoted to protecting the United States and its interests. There was never any agenda or angle beyond that," Bush said.

Though flags were lowered to half-staff following Cheney's death earlier this month, the response from the White House was muted, with Trump saying nothing about it publicly and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledging simply that the president was "aware" of his passing.

Abbott asks Texas law enforcement to probe ‘sharia courts,’ CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood:

On Nov. 20, Abbott asked the Texas Department of Public Safety to probe the latter two organizations, two days after he designated them as foreign terror groups.

“The goal is to identify, disrupt and eradicate terrorist organizations engaged in criminal activities in Texas,” the governor stated on Thursday. “We will target threats of violence, intimidation and harassment of our citizens.”

He added that the state “will also focus on individuals or groups who unlawfully impose sharia law, which violates the Texas Constitution and state statutes.”

Abbott said “certain entities” in the state might “be masquerading as legal ‘courts’ staffed with ‘judges’ issuing orders that purportedly carry the authority to bind individuals to Islamic codes, thereby preempting state and federal laws.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces She Will Resign in January:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced that she would be resigning from office in January, and she criticized both the Republicans and Democrats, stating that “nothing ever gets better” for regular Americans.

"My bills, which reflect many of President Trump’s Executive Orders — like calling for a new census counting Americans only to draw new districts, making English the official language of the U.S., making it a felony to medically trans a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your primary home, and eliminating H1B visas — just sit collecting dust. That’s how it is for most member of Congress’ bills: the Speaker never brings them to the floor for a vote..."

The Georgia congresswoman added that she was “blessed to represent the 14th district of Georgia for five years.”

‘Sedition Is a Major Crime’: Trump Hammers Democrats Who Told Military to Defy ‘Illegal Orders’

The group of Democrat lawmakers who told military members to disobey orders should be locked up, President Donald Trump proposed Saturday.

Trump made his statements after those lawmakers, including Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), were featured in a video on Tuesday urging troops to ignore orders in the clip that said “Don’t give up the ship,” per Fox News.

In his post on Truth Social, Trump said, “THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!”

Miller added, “We have seen the Democratic Party nurse the flames of violence and insurrection against the federal government for the last ten months. When you see this continuous campaign of violence against ICE officers and Border Patrol agents, when you see Democrat sanctuary politicians and Democrat sanctuary governors side with the rioters, side with the assaulters over federal law enforcement, and that spills even into juries and grand juries. When you see Democrat jurors engage in nullification to let off violent attackers who are engaging in physical violence, physical assault against federal officers, this is a dangerous moment.”

Vance: For Too Long, We Had Negotiators that Valued Free Trade over Fair Trade:

President Donald Trump has transformed U.S. trade policy to protect American workers, encourage U.S. manufacturing, and re-establish economic self-sufficiency, reversing decades of American policies that led to job losses, dependency, and factory closings, J.D. Vance said in his conversation with Breitbart News’ Matthew Boyle Thursday.

“For too long we had trade negotiators that so believed in the fake idea of free trade over fair trade that they were willing to sell American workers down the river without actually negotiating in the interest of American workers,” Vance said.

The Trump administration has fundamentally changed the direction of U.S. policy, according to Vance. Instead of a one-way opening of American markets to foreign producers, America is now requiring trading partners to open their markets to U.S. products.

“Number two, we don’t want foreign products to undercut the wages of American workers. We’re actually going to protect our markets, protect our important industries. That’s a very important part of the Trump trade plan,” Vance said.

The third principle involves using U.S. economic power to achieve peace around the world. Turning proverbial swords into plowshares creates opportunities for prosperity for American workers, Vance argued.

“We’ve been able to use the incredible economic leverage of the United States of America. We’re 25 percent—probably a little bit more than that—of the world’s GDP. Why don’t we ever use our economic leverage to achieve peace? Because when countries aren’t fighting each other, when they are actually using their economic talents to manufacture good things rather than weapons to kill each other, that actually creates incredible economic opportunities for Americans,” Vance said.
