Democrats want Sonia Sotomayor to retire so much they're even floating a wild scheme — but she reportedly refuses to cave:

Democrats fear another Ruth Bader Ginsburg situation.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is not going to take directions from discontented liberals.

Since last year, progressives have demanded that Sotomayor, 70, needs to retire from the Supreme Court so that President Joe Biden can nominate a young liberal justice in her place. Democrats are angry about the court's current composition, which includes six conservative justices and three liberals, and they fear another Ruth Bader Ginsburg situation: a liberal justice not retiring only to pass away while still on the court, thus allowing a Republican president to nominate a conservative justice to replace a liberal one.

It's a "hair-on-fire" moment for Democrats, Politico reported. Not only are there demands coming from progressives on social media, but Democratic members of the Senate are "actively engaging" in a conversation about how to push Sotomayor into retirement before Biden's presidency ends and the next Congress is sworn in, according to Politico.

Democrats so much want Sotomayor to retire that Bakari Sellers, a former Democratic state lawmaker turned liberal pundit, even floated the possibility of forcing her out and replacing her with Vice President Kamala Harris.

But Sotomayor reportedly has no plans to retire.

Of the 19 states Harris won, 13 allow voting without ID.

Voting is very simple in the United States, due to the lack of a national identification document and the laxity of many state laws. In some states, no proof of nationality is required when registering to vote or identification when casting a vote. In left-wing California, Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat), nephew of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has banned local governments from requiring an ID, so many people have been able to vote without any proof of who they say they are other than their word.

The number of states that free their citizens from the hassle of identifying themselves at the polls is 14, plus the capital, Washington, which is not a state but elects three delegates to the electoral college and where Trump has received less than 75% of the votes.

The list includes Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Minnesota, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii.

Democrats oppose identification at the polls on the grounds that it is discriminatory and even racist. However, the Harris-Walz ticket came first in some of the states that require photo identification, such as New Hampshire and Rhode Island, or only name identification, such as Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia and Colorado.

Of these 14 states and the District of Columbia, which usually require personal identification to board a plane or buy a house, a gun or alcohol, Donald Trump has only won in Pennsylvania and Nevada. For the next presidential elections, Nevada will leave this shameful list, since in a referendum held on the same day of the elections the majority of the population has approved the incorporation into the Constitution of a clause that requires a document with a name and photo to participate in the elections.

Trump and Vance’s victory has occurred in 30 states, in 28 of which officials require proof of identity from voters. That is, Republicans win in the states where the right to vote is most guaranteed and protected.

Meanwhile, with one week to go before the elections, there are still tens of thousands of votes to be counted in states such as Oregon, Washington, Arizona and New York. In progressive California there are still almost five million votes left and county offices have until December 3 to send the results of the presidential elections to the local government.

In these circumstances, believing that fraud or manipulation does not occur in certain states is an act of democratic faith.

Top Story at the Washington Post Today Advises Liberals on How to Move to Another Country:

The liberal Washington Post is out with a story today about how to leave the United States and live in another country. It’s one of their top stories for today.

As the Gateway Pundit recently pointed out, we have been down this road before, but the people who claim they want to leave rarely follow through and actually do it in the end.

Threatening to leave the country because Trump won the presidency seems to be some sort of rite of passage on the left.

Joe Biden Welcomes Donald Trump Back to White House, Congratulates Him on Victory:

President Joe Biden welcomed President-Elect Donald Trump back to the White House on Wednesday and congratulated him on his landslide victory.

Trump’s historic appearance at the White House was his first visit since 2021, a visual contrast between the once-two bitter political rivals over the last five years.

“Well, Mr. President-Elect and Former President Donald, congratulations,” Biden said as he shook Trump’s hand.

“Thank you,” Trump replied.

“Looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition,” Biden added. “Do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated.”

Trump thanked Biden and graciously spoke about the incoming transition of power.

“Politics is tough, and it’s in many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today,” Trump said. “I appreciate it very much. A transition that’s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get.”

“I very much appreciate that,” he added.

“You’re welcome,” Biden said.

Trump Nominates Fox News Host Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense: ‘Nobody Fights Harder for the Troops’:

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Fox News host Pete Hegseth to serve as his Secretary of Defense, hailing him as a champion of his “peace through strength” policy.

Trump announced his nomination of Hegseth on Tuesday, touting his career accomplishments, including his military service and his advocacy for veterans.

“Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First. With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down. Pete is a graduate of Princeton University, and has a Graduate Degree from Harvard University,” said Trump. “He is an Army Combat Veteran who did tours in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. For his actions on the battlefield, he was decorated with two Bronze Stars, as well as a Combat Infantryman’s Badge.”

Trump then touted Hegseth’s advocacy for veterans and their treatment at the hands of government bureaucracy.

“Pete has been a host at FOX News for eight years, where he used that platform to fight for our Military and Veterans. Pete’s recent book, ‘The War on Warriors,’ spent nine weeks on the New York Times best-sellers list, including two weeks at NUMBER ONE,” he said.
"The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our Warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence,” he added. “Pete has also led two Veterans Advocacy organizations, leading the fight for our Warriors, and our great Veterans. Nobody fights harder for the Troops, and Pete will be a courageous and patriotic champion of our ‘Peace through Strength’ policy.”
Being neither a general nor a Washington, DC, insider, Hegseth makes for a bold, new direction for the president-elect.

Donald Trump Selects Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to ‘Lead the Department of Government Efficiency’:

President-elect Donald Trump announced he has picked Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk and entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to “lead the Department of Government Efficiency.”

In a press release from the Trump-Vance transition team, Trump praised Musk and Ramaswamy as being “wonderful Americans” who would “pave the way” for his administration to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy” and “slash excess regulations.”

The press release continued:
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 which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending. They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.” Their work will conclude no later than July 4, 2026 – A small Government, with more efficiency and less bureaucracy, will be the perfect gift to America on the 250th Anniversary of The Declaration of Independence. I am confident they will succeed!

Trump Nominates Kristi Noem for Secretary of Department of Homeland Security:

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem to serve as his Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Trump announced his nomination on Tuesday, hailing Noem for her stance on border security. He said:

Kristi has been very strong on Border Security. She was the first Governor to send National Guard Soldiers to help Texas fight the Biden Border Crisis, and they were sent a total of eight times. She will work closely with ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan to secure the Border, and will guarantee that our American Homeland is secure from our adversaries.

“I have known Kristi for years, and have worked with her on a wide variety of projects – She will be a great part of our mission to Make America Safe Again,” he added.

“From 2017 to 2019, Trump’s top deputies quietly stalled his immigration reforms, in part, because they had spent their careers in the D.C. establishment. But Noem has had little role in immigration policy...

Exclusive — Speaker Johnson Orders Entire Biden Administration to Preserve and Retain All Records and Documents:

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday ordered the entire administration of President Joe Biden to preserve all records and communications in the waning days of the outgoing Democrat administration as former President Donald Trump’s team prepares to take over.

Johnson, Breitbart News has learned exclusively, has sent letters to all 18 federal Departments ordering them to retain and preserve documents. This could become an explosive storyline if outgoing Biden administration officials attempt to delete or destroy documents that shed light on some of the radical policies they pursued or scandals with regard to censorship or other major storylines of the past four years, such as the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan or the wide open border. If anyone is caught destroying any records, that could lead to serious federal criminal penalties—and with President-elect Trump’s team coming in to take over on Jan. 20, 2025, the new incoming administration will find all evidence on this front.

“In the waning days of this Congress, House Committees will continue to seek compliance with many of the subpoenas with which you largely declined to cooperate,” Johnson wrote. “Likewise, as the 119th Congress begins, the Committees may determine that it is necessary to reissue certain subpoenas as they continue with their oversight efforts.”

Fans Rush to Roast Celebrities Reportedly Paid Off to Endorse Kamala: ‘And Beyoncé Didn’t Even PERFORM!’

Scores of people have streamed to social media to express their shock and outrage over reports that the Kamala Harris campaign shelled out millions to pay off rich Hollywood celebrities to “endorse” her ahead of the 2024 election.

The biggest shock came with reports that Harris paid former TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey a cool million bucks to endorse the vice president.

Winfrey has since spoken out against these reports and denied she was paid for her endorsement. However, Harris campaign spending reports clearly have entries showing that the campaign gave a large amount of money to certain celebrities.  
 
The cash that seems to have gone to Oprah, though, pales in comparison to what others received, according to the campaign finance reports. And fans have questions.
 
One fan even noted that the same was not true on Trump’s side of the campaign. No one got paid to support Trump.

BREAKING HUGE: President Trump Announces Nomination of GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz For US Attorney General:

President Trump on Wednesday announced nomination of GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz for US Attorney General.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that Congressman Matt Gaetz, of Florida, is hereby nominated to be The Attorney General of the United States. Matt is a deeply gifted and tenacious attorney, trained at the William & Mary College of Law, who has distinguished himself in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform at the Department of Justice. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan Weaponization of our Justice System. Matt will end Weaponized Government, protect our Borders, dismantle Criminal Organizations and restore Americans’ badly-shattered Faith and Confidence in the Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight of DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization. He is a Champion for the Constitution and the Rule of Law…” Trump said on Wednesday.

“…Matt will root out the systemic corruption at DOJ, and return the Department to its true mission of fighting Crime, and upholding our Democracy and Constitution. We must have Honesty, Integrity, and Transparency at DOJ. Under Matt’s leadership, all Americans will be proud of the Department of Justice once again,” Trump said.
