House Democrat Calls for ‘Shadow Government’ to Undermine Trump, with Adam Schiff as Fake AG:

Democrat Rep. Wiley Nickel (D-NC) is so bereaved by Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss and President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks that he is suggesting Democrats take action and form a “shadow government,” operating to oppose the Trump agenda that the majority of the country voted for.

Nickel put forth his idea in an op-ed in the Washington Post, asserting that it is time for America to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst excesses of a second Trump administration.”

He laid out his vision on the House floor, asserting that “new times call for new solutions.”

“Last week stung. As Democrats, we simply failed to convince the American people we have better ideas to solve their problems, but we do. Now we need to dust ourselves off and get ready to fight,” he said. “We can’t let Donald Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda go unanswered or unopposed,” he continued, walking through his pitch to “borrow from our British friends and appoint a shadow cabinet to fight back against the worst abuses of a second Trump administration.”

DISTURBING: Radical Trump-Hater Who Supports Communist Antifa Allegedly Unmasked as Secret Service Agent – Agency Launches Investigation:

Another shocking allegation involving the Secret Service could potentially endanger President Trump’s life further following two assassination attempts.

Counter-extremism researchers with the Justice Report say they have discovered that a lifelong anarchist, left-wing extremist, and devout follower of Anfifa is working as a Secret Service agent. Moreover, the individual reportedly has made a series of disgusting comments regarding Trump.

The Gateway Pundit will NOT be naming the alleged Secret Service agent until we confirm the person’s identity.

The supposed agent has a series of ugly posts under the since-deleted account ...on the leftist social media forum Reddit ...

Upon learning about the horrifying report, Real Clear Politics National Correspondent Susan Crabtree contacted the agency for comment. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugilielmi responded to her by saying they had launched an investigation.

The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” Gugilielmi said in a statement. “We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.”

If this report by The Justice Report is accurate, there is an open communist assigned to protecting the president-elect from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Does anyone believe that he would take a bullet for Trump?

The Secret Service Director selection will be one of the most critical appointments President Trump will make.

Pentagon Fails Seventh Straight Financial Audit: Billions of Taxpayer Money Unaccounted For in Latest Government Scandal:

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has failed its seventh consecutive financial audit.

Despite commanding an $824 billion 2024 budget — funded entirely by hardworking American taxpayers — the Pentagon remains unable to account for vast sums of money.

The Pentagon began its first-ever agency-wide financial audit in 2017.  This marked the beginning of a process that had been sought, promised, and delayed for years.

​Since undertaking this initial audit, the Pentagon has consistently failed to pass its subsequent audits, the first of which failed in 2018​.
Out of the 28 entities audited this year, only 9 received clean opinions, while 15 received disclaimers — meaning they were so disorganized that auditors couldn’t even determine the accuracy of their records.
Comptroller Michael McCord emphasized the department’s commitment to achieving a clean audit within the next four years, The Hill reported.  “I do not say we failed, as I said, we have about half clean opinions. We have half that are not clean opinions,” he said at a press briefing Friday.

I am happy with the outcome of the election due to my views on abortion and transgendering our children. I appreciate many of Trump’s policies, but they certainly are no substitute for the Blessed Hope. I hope we leave before his inauguration. I really feel that the US and the world are perhaps too corrupt to save. Only God knows that for sure. Anyway, this is not our home. Hopefully this political outcome will make it more bearable if the Lord tarries. Keep looking up. I still think it’s close.

FEC Records: Kamala Harris’s Campaign Spent $12 Million on Private Jets:

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign spent a whopping $2.6 million on private jets alone in just two weeks towards the end of her failing campaign, bringing its total private air travel costs to at least $12 million.

Finance records viewed by the New York Post revealed that the Harris campaign shelled out nearly $2.2 million to Florida company Private Jet Services Group and another $430,000 to Virginia company Advanced Aviation Team between October 1 and October 17.

The money spent on private jets as Election Day neared brought the campaign’s bill for the mode of transportation to a “staggering” $12 million, the outlet reported.

The total amount of money spent on private jets may be even higher after the last couple weeks of Harris’s campaign filings are published by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

She is now facing backlash for her “hypocrisy” by using such an un-environmentally-friendly method of travel.

“We need sensible solutions on environment and climate issues, but we’re not going to get them when there’s so much hypocrisy coming from the elitists that everyone else needs to change their lives except for them,” he added.

Other things the campaign splurged on includes $12,097 on Uber Eats and DoorDash food and at least $12,081 on ice cream, the Post reported.

Republican political consultant Erin Perrine told the outlet. “Instead of getting the message out, they wanted to have a party. That’s not how it works.” 

The Harris campaign fell $20 million in debt during the final week of her campaign, Breitbart News reported.

FAKE NEWS FAIL: New York Times “Fact Check” of Important RFK, Jr. Claim Regarding Froot Loops Blows Up in Its Face When X Users Spot the Truth in Paper’s Own Article:

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. derangement syndrome has struck the Fake News Media as he appears poised to become America’s next Health and Human Services Secretary. And they are falling flat on their faces in an embarrassing fashion.

One of his top goals will be to rid our foods of the toxic chemicals, including food dyes, that are making Americans sick. 

RFK Jr. has singled out Froot Loops, a popular cereal, to help further his point. He has consistently pointed out that while other developed countries use natural ingredients to color the cereal, the U.S. uses food dyes that are illegal in several countries.

This week, The New York Times tried to dunk on RFK, Jr. with a “fact check” regarding Froot Loops.

Here is the paragraph in question:

Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.

According to The Times, there is no difference between the Canadian and United States versions of Froot Loops as long as you ignore the harmful chemicals in the U.S. version and the natural colors in Canada’s Froot Loops.

In other words, the paper inadvertently admits RFK, Jr. is RIGHT when they were trying to fact-check him.

This self-own was not lost on X users, who responded by roasting The New York Times, causing the story to go viral and blow up in the paper’s face.

Pack Up, Bureaucrats: Vivek Ramaswamy Reveals How Trump With Help from DOGE Will Abolish ENTIRE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES and Crush the Administrative State:

If the incoming Trump administration has its way, thousands of deep-state bureaucrats who have lived off the U.S. taxpayer will have to find employment in the private sector. The cuts are poised to be so deep that entire agencies will be abolished.

The Gateway Pundit reported last Tuesday that President Trump announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk promised that the news “will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people.”

Ramaswamy appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo to discuss DOGE’s plans for slashing wasteful spending and shrinking government.  Ramaswamy confirmed that the Trump Administration would eliminate government agencies and make massive reductions elsewhere, including by reducing the number of federal contractors overbilling the federal government.

RAMASWAMY: First, we want to go right through executive action to do the failures of the executive branch that need to be addressed.

The dirty little secret is the people who we elect to run the government, they’re not the ones who actually run the government. It’s the unelected bureaucrats in the administrative state.

That was created through executive action. It’s gonna be fixed through executive action.

How can the president of the United States, who’s been elected with a historic mandate, actually DO the things that voters voted for?

They haven’t voted for incremental change. We have voted for sweeping change, and the voters actually deserve to get it.

And we’re focused on how to do that as early and as quickly as possible.

Actess Justine Bateman Shares Optimism That ‘Woke Era is Over’ Says Trump Victory Removed ‘Suffocating Cloud’ on Free Speech:

Gen Xer’s grew up on the iconic show Family Ties.  Actress Justine Bateman played the slightly ditzy but surprisingly deep sister Mallory opposite Michael J. Fox’s briefcase-carrying tie-wearing Republican brother Alex.

Bateman’s X account has become a must-follow for her straightforward take on the current political landscape.

She recently went viral on X after sharing that the last four years had been “a very un-American period” for free expression and that only “permitted positions” were accepted by the powers that be.
 
In an epic thread following President Trump’s victory, Bateman shared what many Americans have been feeling under the yoke of Democrat’s thought police: freedom.  She wrote on X, “Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.”
 
“I have found the last four years to be an almost intolerable period. A very un-American period in that any questioning, any opinions, any likes or dislikes were held up to a very limited list of “permitted positions” in order to assess acceptability.”

“When you starve a society of those called to be independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you rob that society of any forward movement. Those that tried to impose that control maintained a kind of “hall monitor” position by threatening others with damning labels like “Sexist,” “racist,” “homophobic,” etc, when the free-thinking and questioning was nothing of the sort. 
 
Bateman recently joined Jesse Watters to discuss her post-election thoughts.
 
Justine Bateman: But what I’m really excited about is that the political correctness, the woke era is over because you need mob mentality momentum in order to keep that going, in order to threaten people if they’re not thinking and talking the way you do, to threaten their lives, threaten their careers, threaten their place in society. You need that momentum in order to do that. And when Trump won presidency again, that cut that momentum off. So this whole woke era is over.
 
Justine Bateman: Yeah, for the last four years, very acutely, and I know it preceded these four years as well, but there’s been a pressing down and limiting what people can say. What happens, too, is you limit what can even occur in society. There’s been a stagnation. Things haven’t been moving forward in the arts, in philosophy, philosophy, in politics, in medicine, in anything.
 
I mean, innovation, with your thoughts, with what is coming into your spirit from God, magic, the universe, whatever you want to call it. That’s been stagnated for at least four years, and now that’s changed, and that’s what I’m really excited about. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.

BREAKING: Joe Biden Authorizes Ukraine to Strike INSIDE RUSSIA with U.S. Long Range Missiles in Major Policy Reversal, Two Months Before Trump Takes Office:

The Biden Regime is determined to start World War III before Donald Trump takes office again.

The Washington Post reported that Biden will allow Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for strikes inside Russia, supposedly in response to North Korea’s recent aid to Russia in the form of thousands of troops. Ukraine will be specifically allowed to use the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to hit targets inside Russia.

As The Post notes, ATACMS is a supersonic-guided missile system that can be used with either cluster munitions or conventional warheads. It has a maximum range of about 190 miles.

In fact, Putin has warned for months that Russia would be “at war” with the United States and its NATO allies if they allowed Ukraine to use of long-range Western weapons like ATACMS. He added that all options would be on the table in response to such an attack, including nuclear weapons.

So one of Biden’s last acts as ‘president’ is to risk an all-out war with Russia just before his successor takes office? What is his real end game here?
