 Blaze: President Donald Trump said the reason Russia invaded Ukraine under President Biden instead of himself is obvious. Trump had a historic meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to discuss the possibility of peace with Ukraine. In a press conference after their discussion, Putin confirmed Trump's long-held claim that he would not have started a war with the Ukraine if Trump was in the Oval Office at the time, in early 2022. Speaking with Fox News' Sean Hannity soon after, Trump said he knew exactly why that invasion happened under President Biden, and not under his watch. Hannity brought up Putin's statement, and asked if the Russian leader gave specific reasons as to why he made the remark. "He did," Trump began . "I know the reason, it's gross incompetence. We have a border that is totally close now and people come in, but they come in legally." Trump revealed that not only did Putin say that if he had won the 2020 president...

 Blaze: New leaked documents from former President Joe Biden's campaign reveal the true extent of political malpractice that took place behind closed doors in response to his rapid mental decline. The bombshell memo shows Biden's closest advisers pressuring the aging president to hold an early summer debate with then-candidate Donald Trump last year "before many Americans would already be voting," which some have described as "the worst political advice" that could have been offered. The memo also encouraged an early debate so that Biden could "set the terms of debate to best work for [him]" and reach the “widest audience possible." The memo also capitalizes and bolds every reference made to Biden, presumably to avoid any confusion for the reader. The document was circulated just 73 days before Biden's now-infamous performance on June 27, 2024. “By holding the first debate in the spring, YOU will be able to reach the widest audience possi...

 Red State: ... Speaking before a like-minded audience on Saturday, Walz  told the attendees  that the reason he and Harris lost the election, as well as why down-ballot Democrats lost enough seats to ensure Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress, was because Democrats didn't push their "message" hard enough. Here's Walz:  Our strength is our diversity. We've been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants — and we let them [Republican Party} define the issue on immigration. We let them define the issue on DEI. And we let them define what "woke" is.  We got ourselves in this mess because we weren't strong enough to stand up and say: "You''re damn right we're proud of these policies. We're gonna put 'em in, and we're gonna execute 'em." Oh, Tim, bless your heart. You so don't get it; it's hard to watch. ... Memo to Walz and like-minded Democrats:  We — all of us — are not defined b...

 Jeff Lukens: Last November, Democrat fraudsters bypassed the presidential race and focused instead on the down-ballot races. In Florida, local Democrat candidates received more votes than either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris at the top of the ballot. Something was definitely amiss.  For instance, Republican Rocky Rochford was running against incumbent Democrat Kathy Castor for the U.S. House seat in Congressional Race 14 (FL-14). The district straddles Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and includes the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg. Castor was declared the winner, but Rochford is now contesting the race, claiming voter fraud, primarily by vote-by-mail ballots.  There is also deep suspicion that this method of fraud has happened across the country, costing Republicans three U.S. Senate seats, about a dozen House seats, and countless local municipal seats and referendums. A longtime Trump associate, Peter Ticktin, is representing Rochford. The Ticktin Law Group has i...

Rick Lowry: Donald Trump stood at the center of American politics — in both senses — when he was inaugurated in the U.S. Capitol on Monday afternoon. Pretty much everything of import in national affairs will revolve around Trump for the foreseeable future, and he’s managed, in many respects, to occupy the political and cultural center. Trump’s critics have long insisted that he be shunned and not “normalized.” Did someone tell Carrie Underwood, who performed “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration (spontaneously going a cappella when there was a snafu with the accompanying music)? Or the richest, most successful entrepreneurs in the country, who were on prominent display? Or, for the matter, did someone tell the Village People? If someone had predicted that the group formed to appeal to gay disco fans in 1977 would, in the year of our lord 2025, be performing at a pre-inaugural rally for a Republican president-elect considered a troglodyte culture warrior by his enemies, he’d have ...

 American Action News: Julian Epstein, the former Democratic chief counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, defended President-elect Donald Trump Friday on Fox Business and slammed what he said was the ‘gross abuse’ of justice in Trump’s case. During an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Epstein said the case was not handled correctly. He said he believed the case never would have occurred had the defendant been anyone other than Trump. The former counsel said he was dismayed over what he called procedural and ethical lapses that marred the prosecution. “This is essentially a gross abuse of the justice system. The unconditional discharge today is the judicial equivalent of saying never mind. They put the country through this for two years, all for naught. It’s an abuse of the legal system because no American ever in the history of this country has been prosecuted on this fact pattern, and your viewers don’t need to know anything else other than that,” Epstein told host Elizabeth ...

 Victor Davis Hanson: In the weeks before the 2016 Trump Electoral College victory, Donald Trump was polling between 35 and 40 percent. He would average only about 41% approval over his tumultuous four-year tenure. No one knows what lies ahead over the next four years. But for now, Trump already polls well over 50% approval. His inauguration in a few weeks will likely not resemble Trump's 2016 ceremony. In the 2016-7 transition, Democratic-affiliated interests ran commercials urging electors to become "faithless," and thus illegally to reject their states' popular votes and instead elect the loser, Hillary Clinton. Massive demonstrations met Trump on Inauguration Day. In less than four months after assuming the presidency, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to investigate the hoax of Russian collusion. That wasted 22-month, $40 million investigation found no collusion, but did derail the first two Trump years. What followed the collusion ruse was a consisten...

 The Federalist Wire: ... President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday that he plans to sue the Des Moines Register and top pollster Ann Selzer over a pre-election survey that inaccurately showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa ahead of the 2024 election. The Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll, conducted by Selzer & Company on Nov. 2, claimed Harris led Trump 47% to 44%. Selzer attributed Harris’s apparent lead to strong support among young, college-educated voters and older women. Trump, who filed the lawsuit late Monday, made it clear during a press conference that he sees it as his duty to hold both Selzer and the newspaper accountable. He pointed out his decisive 14-point victory in Iowa, where he beat Harris 56% to 42.7%, and reminded the press that his dominance extended nationally—winning all seven battleground states and becoming the first Republican since 2004 to win the popular vote. ... Trump accused Selzer and the Register of breaking Iowa’s consum...

 Newsmax: Change is coming to the Federal Communications Commission under President-elect Donald Trump and with it should be accountability for liberal outlets like CBS forcing left-wing bias and political activism on its viewers. In fact, according to journalist Charles Gasparino , CBS News might be forced to come clean on how it cleaned up Vice President Kamala Harris' interview in what Trump has called an unjust election influencing campaign as the leverage of its broadcast license will hold it accountable to remaining "neutral." "According to people close to Trump's transition team, CBS could, among other things, be forced to turn over a full transcript of the controversial '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris, which those in the Trump orbit believe shows the network played dirty during the 2024 election," Gasparino reported. "But people close to the situation tell me the stakes could be far broader than that. In short, Skydance — a Hol...

  The Federalist Wire: ... Democratic megadonor John Morgan has called for Vice President Kamala Harris to end her political career, citing her lavish campaign spending during her brief 2024 presidential bid. Morgan, speaking on *CUOMO* Monday, argued that Harris’ financial mismanagement and poor performance in the race demonstrated that she has no future in politics. According to reports, the Harris campaign and the Democratic Party spent nearly $1.5 billion during her short-lived presidential run, which she launched on July 21. Morgan was blunt in his assessment of the situation. “A lot of people got rich on the back of donors trying to stop Trump. And I think this disqualifies her forever. Forever. If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America. And that would be the argument just day one. So it was terrible,” he told host Chris Cuomo. Despite Harris’ poor performance, Morgan acknowledged her debate performance, stating, “I think she did a good job in the debate. I think she...

  Spiked: For millions of Americans, 2024 was the final straw. After nearly a decade of being told by Democrats that men can become women, that all white people are ‘privileged’ and that questioning these dogmas is tantamount to fascism, voters had finally had enough. If nothing else, the re-election of Donald Trump earlier this month was a sign that Americans are sick and tired of being preached at. A vote for Trump, for many, was a vote against a Democratic establishment that they had grown to loathe – and clearly loathed them. That was certainly what drove Bridget Phetasy, a long-time liberal and loyal Democrat, to reluctantly vote for Trump. Bridget returned to The Brendan O’Neill Show last week to discuss why so many Americans like her turned their backs on their old party. Brendan O’Neill : You explained before the election that you were very reluctantly voting for Trump. What drove you to that position? Bridget Phetasy : It was death by a million cuts. I had been living in ...

 Gateway Pundit: There have been extensive postmortems on Kamala Harris’s failed campaign and the absolute drubbing she received from Donald Trump. Democrat strategist James Carville said the moment he knew the campaign was doomed was when ‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin asked Harris, “If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” Kamala answered, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” But legacy media keep gaslighting voters with polls showing Harris neck and neck with Trump and even leading in some surprising places. ... The junk polls pushed by the legacy media were an overt gesture to help Democrats and influence the mindset of the electorate. Case in point: Ann Selzer’s shocking poll suggesting that Kamala Harris was leading Donald Trump in Iowa by 3 percent. Leftwing outlets used the Iowa poll constantly in an attempt to embolden Harris supporters and suppress Trump supporters. ... Watch: ... It looks like the...
