This TV Host Seeks to Represent Trump Supporters- There is One Glaring Issue

    Will Alyssah Farah Griffin become the new face of Trump supporters? That’s her new goal…

    The incoming conservative host for “The View” and former White House communications director who has taken a staunch stance against the former president says she wants to “represent” his millions of supporters.

    On Monday, Griffin joined “Good Morning America” to discuss her being named to the panel and the impact she hopes to have.

    According to The Daily Wire:

    โ€œIโ€™m a millennial and I worked in the Trump administration. Iโ€™ve also since criticized the former president,โ€ Griffin explained, adding, โ€œBut I still want to be a voice for the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and kind of tell them, from my experience, hereโ€™s why I wonโ€™t support him again, but hereโ€™s what a future Republican Party can and should look like. So thatโ€™s really what Iโ€™m hoping to meet the audience with.โ€

    Griffin went on to take several potshots at the former president, saying that she certainly understood discussions could get heated among women who did not always see eye to eye. โ€œListen, by the way, I survived the Trump West Wing. I think I can survive โ€˜The View.โ€™ Weโ€™ll see. Iโ€™ll be back to let you know,โ€ she added.

    Griffin, who resigned from the Trump administration on January 6, 2021, has since been quite vocal of her opposition to Trump. โ€œAs somebody who regrettably worked for Donald Trump, I do not want to see that man ever be president again,โ€ she said.

    Griffin and Ana Navarro were both named as conservative hosts for “The View” over the summer, however, Navarro is not expected to join the panel every day.

    Fani Willis Requests Top Georgia Court Reconsider Disqualification From Trump Case

      Fulton County District Attorneyย Fani Willisย (D) asked Georgiaโ€™s top court to review her disqualification from the election subversion case against President-elect Trump and several allies.

      In a petition filed late Wednesday to the Supreme Court of Georgia, Willis said the stateโ€™s midlevel appeals court โ€œoverreachedโ€ its authority in โ€œall directionsโ€ when it decided she should be removed from the prosecution over her past romantic relationship with a top prosecutor on the case.

      โ€œNo Georgia court has ever disqualified a district attorney for the mere appearance of impropriety without the existence of an actual conflict of interest,โ€ Willisโ€™s office wrote. โ€œAnd no Georgia court has ever reversed a trial courtโ€™s order declining to disqualify a prosecutor based solely on an appearance of impropriety.โ€ 

      Georgiaโ€™s Court of Appeals disqualified Willis and her office from the 2020 election case last month in a 2-1 decision over her inappropriate romance with former special prosecutorย Nathan Wade.

      The stateโ€™s high court, controlled by justices appointed by Republican governors, must first decide whether to take up the appeal at all.

      Even if the court hears Willisโ€™s appeal and rules in her favor, sheย may not have a chance to resurrect the case until 2029 โ€” after Trump has left office โ€” since legal experts agree sitting presidents cannot be criminally prosecuted.

      If it lets the appeals courtโ€™s ruling stand, the case would be handed off to the Prosecuting Attorneysโ€™ Council of Georgia, a nonpartisan state agency. The agency could then send the case to another district attorneyโ€™s office, which would decide whether to proceed, appoint a special prosecutor or handle the case itself.

      Willisโ€™s case is one of the remaining criminal prosecutions against Trump.ย 

      House Votes To Impeach Alejandro Mayorkas

        The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday evening.

        Members voted 214-213 toย approve a resolutionย that made Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached since 1876.

        In response to his impeachment, leftist DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg released a statement that made political attacks against House Republicans.

        โ€œHouse Republicans will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than working to solve the serious challenges at our border,โ€ the statement claimed. โ€œWhile Secretary Mayorkas was helping a group of Republican and Democratic Senators develop bipartisan solutions to strengthen border security and get needed resources for enforcement, House Republicans have wasted months with this baseless, unconstitutional impeachment.โ€

        โ€œHouse Republicans have falsely smeared a dedicated public servant who has spent more than 20 years enforcing our laws and serving our country,โ€ she claimed.

        House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) opened an investigation into Mayorkas last year as the country has grappled with an explosion in illegal aliens flooding into the U.S. and Mexican drug cartels fueling deaths across the U.S. with fentanyl.

        Democrats have largely panned the impeachment proceedings as a โ€œpolitical stunt.โ€

        Report: Stefanik In Contention For Trump Administration Role

        Trump is hard at work crafting his new administration.

        House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is in contention for a role in the new Trump administration, Fox News Digital is told.

        She is now being discussed as a potential candidate for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, two people familiar with such discussions told Fox News.

        One said Stefanik was “high on the list” of potential candidates.

        Fox News Digital was also told that another House member, retired Green Beret Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) is in consideration for a Trump administration role. Waltz is being looked at as aย potential candidate for Defense secretary, though Trump is also considering options from the private sector and others, Fox News Digital was told.

        Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital when asked for comment about the possible appointments, “President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made.”

        Trump Administration Delivers Historic Border Security Win โ€” Lowest Apprehensions Since 1970

        1

        The Trump administration has closed fiscal year 2025 with a historic milestone on border security โ€” the lowest U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions in more than five decades, according to preliminary enforcement data released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

        Border agents recorded 237,565 apprehensions in fiscal year 2025 โ€” slightly above the 201,780 apprehensions in 1970 but dramatically below recent levels. The numbers represent an 87% drop compared to the average of the past four fiscal years (1.86 million apprehensions) and showcase what can happen when the federal government finally enforces immigration laws.

        This achievement came even though 72% of this yearโ€™s total apprehensions happened during the final 111 days of the Biden administration โ€” before President Trump returned to office and immediately began reversing his predecessorโ€™s โ€œopen-borderโ€ policies.

        โ€œFiscal year 2025 shows what happens when we enforce the law without compromise,โ€ said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. โ€œFor too long, agents and officers were handcuffed by failed policies. Today they are empowered to do their jobs โ€” and the result is the most secure border in modern history.โ€


        Reversing Bidenโ€™s Border Chaos

        When President Trump took office in January 2025, he inherited what many described as a border crisis fueled by Bidenโ€™s mass-release policies. In just the first 111 days of the fiscal year, under Bidenโ€™s watch, 172,026 apprehensions occurred โ€” nearly three-quarters of the yearโ€™s total.

        But once Trumpโ€™s immigration directives took effect, the situation changed dramatically. Over the next 254 days, apprehensions plummeted to 65,539 โ€” just 27% of the fiscal yearโ€™s total.

        September 2025 alone saw only about 279 apprehensions per day along the Southwest border โ€” a staggering 95% decline compared to the Biden-era daily average of 5,110. It also marked the fifth consecutive month of zero illegal immigrant releases by Border Patrol โ€” a stark contrast to 9,144 releases in September 2024.

        Across all entry points, CBP recorded roughly 26,000 total encounters in September, down 89% from Bidenโ€™s monthly averages.


        Strong Action From Day One

        President Trump wasted no time taking decisive action to reestablish border control:

        • Deployed additional personnel to the southern border.
        • Ended โ€œcatch-and-releaseโ€, ensuring illegal migrants are no longer released while awaiting hearings.
        • Shut down Bidenโ€™s CBP One app parole loophole, later repurposing the app to help migrants self-deport.
        • Paused parole programs and authorized ICE to cancel parole statuses.
        • Ordered strict enforcement of existing immigration laws, restoring morale and authority to frontline border agents.

        These policies stand in sharp contrast to Bidenโ€™s approach, which relied on controversial โ€œparoleโ€ programs and insisted on new legislation instead of acting on existing laws.

        Trump’s Hockey Team Surprise Sends Shockwaves To Independent Voter Approval Rating

        6

        President Donald Trumpโ€™s introduction of the gold medal-winning U.S. menโ€™s Olympic hockey team during Tuesday nightโ€™s State of the Union address sparked largely positive bipartisan reactions, with Independent voters showing particularly strong approval.

        According to Lee Carter of the polling group maslansky+partners, Independent voters responded most enthusiastically when the team entered the House Chamber wearing their gold medals and USA sweatshirts, greeted by thunderous chants of โ€œU-S-A.โ€

        “The USA hockey team and military recognition moments were widely noticed,” Carter said. “Visual, patriotic moments landed more consistently than policy-heavy segments.”

        Real-time dial testing conducted by the polling group showed the sharpest spike among Independent voters during the teamโ€™s entrance. Republican voters, who were already energized by the speech, showed additional gains in approval during the moment. Even Democratic votersโ€”who overall were the least enthusiastic throughout the addressโ€”registered a modest uptick in reaction.

        Participants in the polling offered enthusiastic feedback, with comments such as, “What a great moment!” and, “Love it!” Even some critics acknowledged, “They deserve recognition,” and, “Itโ€™s a nice moment.”

        The president had invited the team to attend the State of the Union after their thrilling 2-1 overtime victory against Canada in the Winter Olympics gold medal game.

        During the address, President Trump introduced the team to loud cheers from members of Congress and the audience, who once again broke into chants of โ€œUSA! USA! USA!โ€

        โ€œOur country is winning again. In fact, weโ€™re winning so much that we really donโ€™t know what to do about it. People are asking me, โ€˜Please, please, please, Mr. President, we are winning too much. We canโ€™t take it anymore. Weโ€™re not used to winning in our country. Until you came along, we were just always losing, but now weโ€™re winning too much.โ€™ And I say, โ€˜No, no, no, youโ€™re going to win again. You are going to win big, youโ€™re gonna win bigger than ever.โ€™ And to prove that point, to prove that point, here with us tonight is a group of winners who just made the entire nation proud,โ€ Trump said, adding:

        The menโ€™s gold medal Olympic hockey team โ€” come on in!

        After extended applause inside the chamber, Trump remarked, โ€œThatโ€™s the first time Iโ€™ve ever seen them get up. And actually, not all of them did get up, but they beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime, as everybody saw, as did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House.โ€

        The president also announced that he would honor goaltender Connor Hellebuyck with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. After praising the teamโ€™s collective performance, Trump described asking players to vote on whether their goaltender deserved the nationโ€™s highest civilian honor.

        โ€œBut I have to say that, and I told them this, and we took a vote of the team. I said, โ€˜Anybody votes no, Iโ€™m not doing it.โ€™ So they stood there, and they werenโ€™t about to say no because Iโ€™ve never seen a goaltender play as well as goalie Connor Hellebuyck,โ€ said Trump.

        He continued:

        Think of itโ€“ 46 shots on goal. And I asked him, โ€œThe one shot, the one where you put your stick in the back and it hit the neck of your stick and bounced off, you practice that or was that a little lucky?โ€ He refused to answer that question, but I just want to tell you that the members of this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear, based on their vote and my voteโ€“ and in this case, my vote was more importantโ€“ that I will soon be presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor, which we will be given and which has been given to many athletes over the years. But when I say many, not too many, like 12. Itโ€™s called the highest civilian honor in our country. The Presidential Medal of Freedom. Great athletes have gotten that very great, the best. And I thought he deserved it. And I did take a vote. Every single one of them. I said, โ€œIโ€™m not giving it if anybody goes no.โ€ And every single one of them rapidly put up their hand. So I want to thank you all. What a special job you did. What special champions you are. Thank you very much.

        The moment stood out as one of the eveningโ€™s most unifying highlights.

        DeSantis Makes Endorsement In Kentucky Governor’s Race, Teeing Up Potential Trump Feud

        0

        Ron DeSantis (R) is rocking the boat.

        The Florida Governor issued a last-minute endorsement in Kentucky’s contentious Republican gubernatorial primary on Monday, throwing his support behind former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft.

        “Hello, this is Governor Ron DeSantis, coming to you from the free state of Florida. You’ve had a woke, liberal governor who’s put a radical agenda ahead of Kentuckians. The stakes couldn’t be higher. I know what it takes to stand up for what’s right, and Kelly Craft’s got it. She’s proven it,” DeSantis said in a recorded statement shared with Fox News Digital. 

        “I’m strongly encouraging you to go out and vote for my friend, Kelly Craft. Kelly shares the same vision we do in Florida. She will stand up to the left as they try to indoctrinate our children with their woke ideology. Kelly will fight against crazy ESG policies that are trying to end the coal industry in Kentucky. And Kelly’s going to do everything in her power to end the fentanyl crisis that is hurting Kentucky families,” he said.

        In a statement to Fox News, Craft said she was “honored and grateful” to have DeSantis’ support, and praised his leadership of Florida.

        “He sets the example for Republican leaders around the nation because he delivers bold, conservative results. Kentucky needs to look more like Florida instead of California, and I look forward to ushering in a new generation of conservative leadership as Governor of Kentucky,” she said.

        However, Donald Trump backed Craft’s opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, early on in the race.

        The race is widely viewed as a bellwether for Republican chances at taking back theย White Houseย and Senate in 2024. DeSantis’ last-minute endorsement of Craft ahead of Tuesday’sย Republican primaryย pits him squarely against former President Donald Trump as he seeks to test the strength of his own endorsement after being blamed by some Republicans for the GOP’s disappointing 2022 midterms results.

        Fellow Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has also endorsed Craft.

        Craft and Cameron are facing a crowded field of 10 other Republican candidates, including Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles.

        The winner of Tuesday’s contest will go on to face Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear in theย November general election.

        Jan. 6th Rioters Handed Down Longest Sentences Yet In This Week’s Hearings

        5

        ANALYSIS โ€“ Two Proud Boys leaders have been sentenced to more than a decade each in jail after being convicted of the rarely used โ€˜seditious conspiracyโ€™ charge for storming the Capitol.

        They tried to overturn President Donald Trumpโ€™s 2020 election loss, which they considered fraudulent.

        A federal judge sentenced former far-right Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs to 17 years in prison and his co-defendant Zachary Rehl to 15 years. (RELATED: Proud Boys Member Who Led Capitol Break-In Sentenced To 10 Years)

        These sentences are much less than the three decades of jail time proposed by prosecutors but still very long prison terms for a few hours of rioting.

        And yes, I understand that the rioting was at the U.S. Capitol and that the certification of the Electoral College vote was in process. I also understand these two guys and the two others convicted on this same charge were intimately involved in organizing what became violent chaos that day.

        I was there, at the Capitol, as an observer with a TV camera crew. And I denounced the violence the next day. It was outrageous.

        I believe any violent rioter who attacked police or media, or anyone else, on Jan. 6 should be put in jail โ€“ as should all the BLM rioters who earlier caused $2 billion in damages throughout the country and injured 2,000 cops months earlier.

        But a decade or two behind bars for โ€˜conspiracyโ€™?

        Biggs and Rehl are the first Proud Boys convicted of the Civil War-era seditious conspiracy charge to be sentenced for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack.

        The sentences kicked off a series of hearings scheduled for this week and next, where punishment will be meted out against the former chairman of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio (who was not in D.C. on Jan. 6 but was unbelievably arrested earlier for burning a BLM banner!), and two other members of the group.

        All were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes at a landmark conspiracy trial this spring. But was what they did really as bad as the Biden Justice Department tries to portray?

        As The Guardian noted:

        Seditious conspiracy is a broad statute that concerns attempts to overthrow the government, levy war against it or prevent, hinder or delay the execution of any law. It also can be applied in cases where suspects seize any government property and carries up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

        Partly because seditious conspiracy allegations carry so much political weight, prosecutors have generally been hesitant to bring such charges in the past. โ€œSeditious conspiracy charges are rarely used in American jurisprudence,โ€ said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist and expert on political crime at the University of Baltimore. Prosecutors can be wary of issuing such charges, even in cases that may fall under its broad statute, he added.

        In the only similar case in the 20th century, federal prosecutors secured a seditious conspiracy conviction against Puerto Rican nationalists who stormed the Capitol building in 1954.

        These four armed Puerto Rican independence militants entered the House floor and fired dozens of bullets around the chamber, wounding five legislators.

        The four shooters and co-conspirators were convicted of seditious conspiracy and spent over two decades in jail until Jimmy Carter commuted their sentence in 1979.

        In that case, however, the perpetrators had firearms and used them to try to kill Congressmen. Thatโ€™s a pretty big difference.

        The last successfully prosecuted seditious conspiracy was in the mid-1990s, when authorities chargedย Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine Islamist co-conspirators for plotting to bomb the United Nations, the FBI building, and several other landmarks around New York City.

        Again, this was very serious and involved planning mass murder and terrorism.

        There is little or no evidence that any Jan. 6 rioters planned any offensive violence.

        To date, of those charged in relation to Jan. 6, former Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes holds the record with an 18-year sentence, after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy earlier this year.

        The Guardian reported in 2022 that:

        Even Rhodes, who is not believed to have actually stormed the building, is alleged to have plotted to bring weapons to the area and coordinate militia movements.

        In the weeks before the insurrection, Rhodes allegedly purchased tens of thousands of dollars worth of weapons and began communicating to other Oath Keepers in an encrypted group chat. โ€œWe arenโ€™t getting through this without a civil war,โ€ he messaged days after the presidential election. One Oath Keeper admitted as part of a plea deal last year that he brought an M4 rifle to a Comfort Inn hotel near the Capitol, while Rhodes and others allegedly discussed โ€œquick reaction forceโ€ teams that could move into Washington DC with firearms. Once inside the Capitol, prosecutors state in their indictment that one group of Oath Keepers moved in a military โ€œstackโ€ formation and went in search of the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

        And at first glance, this does seem serious.

        But Rhodes claims that despite earlier texts about possible ‘civil war,’ Oath Keepers who entered the Capitol went โ€œtotally off missionโ€ and that he was only there to prevent his militia members from getting into trouble.

        He has also stated that the armed โ€˜reaction forceโ€™ in Virginia was there to respond if armed leftist antifa thugs attacked pro-Trump protestors.

        In the largest manhunt in FBI history, more than 1,100 people have been arrested on charges related to the Capitol assault. Of those, 597 defendants have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences. About 366 of them have been given jail time.

        The vast majority of these Jan. 6 defendants, though, accepted plea deals for minor, nonviolent offenses such as trespassing or obstructing an official function. Many of them still got jail sentences totally out of proportion to their alleged crimes.

        And these four got the worst of it.

        SCOTUS Responds To Mark Meadowsโ€™ Bid To Move Election Subversion Case To Federal Court

        5

        In a significant setback for former Trump administration Chief of Staffย Mark Meadows, theย Supreme Courtย has denied his request to transfer his election subversion case fromย Georgiaย state court to federal court. Tuesdayโ€™s ruling means Meadows will face charges in Fulton County, where the case was brought by Fulton County District Attorneyย Fani Willis. Since presidential pardons apply only to federal offenses, Meadows is now ineligible for a potential pardon, should one ever be considered.

        As The Hill reports:

        Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) charged Meadows, President-elect Trump and more than a dozen others over accusations they unlawfully attempted to overturn President Bidenโ€™s 2020 victory in Georgia.

        Refusing to hear Meadowsโ€™s bid to move courts marks a win for Willis, who has attempted to keep the defendants together for a singular trial in state court.

        Trumpโ€™s election as president Tuesday has complicated that goal, however. His attorneys are expected to argue the Constitution prohibits Trumpโ€™s charges from moving forward while he is in the White House.

        It remains unclear how any pause would impact the Trump allies charged alongside him. The trial proceedings already are on indefinite pause amid an appeal by some defendants seeking to remove Willis over her once-romantic relationship with a top prosecutor on the case who has since stepped aside.

        What Does This Mean for Meadows?

        Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons

        With this decision, Meadows has exhausted his options for moving the case to federal court. The implications are significant:

        -Ineligibility for Presidential Pardon: Since his case remains in state court, a federal pardon would not apply.

        – Advertisement –

        -Focus on State Jurisdiction: The case will proceed under Georgiaโ€™s judicial system, potentially influencing how other co-defendants approach their defense strategies.

        Whatโ€™s Next in theย Georgia Election Case?

        Meadows isnโ€™t alone in seeking relief from the legal proceedings. Other co-defendants, also charged with alleged election interference, are challenging District Attorney Willisโ€™ authority in the case. A critical hearing is scheduled for Dec. 5 in the Georgia Court of Appeals, where arguments will be heard regarding the removal of Willis as the lead prosecutor.

        Trumpโ€™s victory will likely put the Georgia election interference case against him on hold, at least until he leaves office. However, attorneys for his co-defendants told Law360 that this is unlikely to apply to their clients.

        Key Points to Watch:

        -Outcome of Dec. 5 Hearing: If Willis is removed, it could reshape the prosecutorial strategy and impact case proceedings for Meadows and others.

        -Potential Legal Precedents: The rulings in this case could set important precedents for how state-level cases involving federal officials are handled in the future.
