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.

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.

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...

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...
