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...

Trump announces Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that his 2024 campaign manager, Susie Wiles will be his Chief of Staff in his administration. Wiles, who led Trump’s return to the White House alongside Chis LaCivita, has largely been praised for her disciplined and professional operation in the 2024 run. Heading up Trump’s second administration, Wiles will be the first woman to be appointed White House Chief of Staff. “Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history, and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns,” Trump said in a Thursday statement. “Susie is tough, smart, innovative, and is universally admired and respected. Susie will continue to work tirelessly to Make America ...

Kamala Harris admits that everything she said about Trump was a lie

By Brianna Lyman | The Federalist Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris admitted on Wednesday that she knew every single attack she launched against President-Elect Donald Trump and his presidency was a bald-faced lie. More than twelve hours after Trump delivered a stunning blow to the regime and swept both the popular vote and Electoral College, Harris took the stage at Howard University to begrudgingly concede. She could have conceded in the wee hours of the morning, but that would have required showing up when it mattered — something she clearly doesn’t do (see her disastrous handling of Afghanistan). But it wasn’t her hollow speech about “unity” and “joy” that stood out. It was the moment she openly confessed to spreading egregious falsehoods about Trump for months, all...

Justice: Trump’s re-election is the most inspiring political comeback of all time

By Tristan Justice | Commentary, The Federalist Trump’s landslide reflects a triumph over the lockdowns, inflation, and division that defined the Biden era. The Covid years were tough, and now they’re finally ending. In two weeks, I’ll have a health book coming out that in part explains the story of why the lockdowns were so devastating. At the same time, Trump’s election gives hope to aggressively address the issues outlined in the pages. Former President Donald Trump hit a grand slam Tuesday. Republicans finally reclaimed the Senate and the White House four years after America’s deadly lockdowns coincided with a year of political turmoil and ended in a riot at the Capitol. Trump’s legacy was almost diminished as an ex-president whose tenure was defined by cultural unrest and who...

How Trump’s election could fortify a conservative Supreme Court majority

By Kaelan Deese | Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump could have a chance to solidify the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority for decades to come after he was elected to a second term in the White House on Tuesday. Several of the high court’s Republican-appointed justices are in their 70s and may be tempted to retire with a Republican in the White House for the next four years. That decision would not change the balance of power on the court but could give Trump, who appointed three justices in his first term, an opportunity to extend the longevity of its 6-3 conservative majority. John Roberts, the chief justice, is 70, while Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are 74 and 76, respectively. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMIN...
