    Tucker Carlson Suggests Shipping Migrants To Luxury Neighborhoods

    During a recent conversation with Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson proposed sending illegal immigrants to the neighborhoods of high-profile government officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

    Carlson argued this approach would expose what he called the “hypocrisy of the liberal elite.”

    The former Fox News host offered to assist by providing Homan with specific zip codes, emphasizing that the political class advocating for relaxed border policies should experience the consequences of those decisions firsthand.

    “I could give you a list of zip codes where Tony Blinken lives,” Carlson said during the discussion. Illegal immigrants “need to be moved into the neighborhoods of the people who are calling you racist for wanting to have laws and borders.”

    Carlson framed the suggestion as a way to hold elites accountable for policies widely viewed as detrimental to American communities. “They need to feel the effects of their own destruction. So just text me, and I will send you the zip codes,” he concluded.

    Homan, in response, noted that the idea of busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities and neighborhoods aligned with such policies had originated with President-elect Donald Trump.

    The strategy has since been employed by Republican governors, like Florida’s Ron DeSantis, to highlight the strain that mass migration places on border states.

    Trump Approval Surges Aheads While Biden Sinks To New Low

    Biden is fading…

    President Joe Biden’s approval rating sank to a new low in a Marquette University Law School poll released this week.

    According to the survey of 1,063 adults across the country, just 34% of the country approves of the way Biden “is handling his job as president,” while 66% disapprove, putting him underwater by a shell-shocking 32 points.

    That’s the worst net approval rating Biden has posted in the poll since taking office. It appears that the president’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for any crimes he may have committed over a more than decade-long period, may have contributed to his plummeting popularity. Just 29% of respondents said they approved of the pardon, while 71% disapproved.

    Fifty-three percent, meanwhile, say that they approved of the way President-elect Donald Trump handled his job during his first term in office.

    The plunge in the president’s approval was also fueled by soaring inflation – which started spiking in the summer of 2021

    Biden has not achieved a positive net approval rating since July 2021. His previous low of -30 came this summer.

    The president’s approval stands in the mid-30s to low-40s in the latest national surveys, including the most recent Fox News national poll, where Biden stands at 41% approval.

    The president has faded from the news cycle over his last half-year or so in office after he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in late July 

    ABC News Settles Trump Defamation Suit, Issues Statement of ‘Regret’

    Another win for Trump…

    ABC News and its top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a $15 million settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit.

    The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a trial.

    According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees.  

    Stephanopoulos and ABC News also had to issue statements of “regret” as an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file the defamation lawsuit. The note reads, “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024.”

    ABC News said the network was “pleased” to have concluded the case.

    “We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing,” an ABC News spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

    Trump filed a defamation suit against Stephanopoulos after he asserted that Trump was found “liable for rape” in a civil case during a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) last March.

    After playing a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, Stephanopoulos asked her, “How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?” 

    “You’ve endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape,” Stephanopoulos said, alluding to the legal victory by Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll. 

    Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times during his spat with Mace, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for “sexual abuse,” which has a distinct definition under New York law.

    Liberals across social media have criticized ABC News for “bending the knee” to the incoming President.

    Marc E. Elias, a Democratic election lawyer, accused ABC News of bending the knee and kissing the ring by settling. 

    “Knee bent. Ring kissed. Another legacy news outlet chooses obedience,” he wrote on X.

    “I got to think that the ABC boardroom was involved in this decision somehow,” LA Times legal columnist Harry Litman said during the MSNBC appearance on Saturday. “And my big worry to put a finer point on what Barb is saying is it is somehow caught up in the fact he will be president soon.”

    Trump Named TIME Person Of The Year

    An honor…

    After surviving two assassination attempts and a landslide election victory Donald J. Trump has had a big year, to put it mildly.

    “For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America’s role in the world, Donald Trump is Time’s 2024 Person of the Year,” the magazine wrote.

    It was widely expected Time would pick Trump; the magazine has bestowed the honor on the winner of that year’s presidential election in every race since George W. Bush in 2000. Trump was also named Person of the Year in 2016 when he first won the White House.

    “Since he began running for President in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump,” Time wrote. “Trump is once again at the center of the world, and in as strong a position as he has ever been.”

    Trump became just the second U.S. president after Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms after he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

    Trump also became the first former president to ever be convicted of a crime in May. He was found guilty in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to covering up a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. His sentencing has since been repeatedly delayed and Trump has sought to have the case thrown out.

    Other criminal cases against him in Georgia and on the federal level have either been dismissed or are in limbo as he returns to the White House.

    The other Time finalists this year included Harris, billionaire Elon Musk – who was named Person of the Year in 2021 – podcasting giant Joe Rogan, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Matt Gaetz To Launch Show On One America News Next Year

    Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz (R) is set to debut his own program, The Matt Gaetz Show, on One America News (OAN) starting January 2025 and airing weeknights at 9 p.m.

    The announcement follows Gaetz’s decision earlier this year to step away from Congress, a choice he explained during a recent appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show. Gaetz, who served in the House of Representatives since winning his first election in 2016, stated, “I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress,” underscoring his desire to prioritize his family and his role in supporting President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

    Tuesday’s development marks a significant career shift for Gaetz, who had previously been considered for attorney general in the incoming Trump administration. That opportunity, however, did not materialize, prompting speculation about whether he might return to Capitol Hill. Gaetz put such rumors to rest last month when he reaffirmed his intention to focus on media opportunities and other ways to assist the Trump White House outside of Congress.

    Gaetz’s new show is expected to cover a range of conservative topics, including policy discussions and commentary on the Trump administration’s agenda.

    Politico has additional details:

    It is yet another high-profile, public platform for Gaetz, a firebrand Republican who made no shortage of enemies in the House before President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to nominate him to be attorney general. Gaetz immediately resigned from the House after Trump’s announcement, a move that also came just before the House Ethics Committee planned to meet regarding a probe into allegations against him regarding illegal drug use and sex with a 17-year-old.

    Gaetz has consistently denied the allegations and a Department of Justice investigation into him resulted in no charges. But the accusations quickly dogged his confirmation process, prompting him to drop out of consideration one week after Trump first announced plans to nominate him. The early withdrawal precluded what would have been a deeply personal and brutal confirmation hearing.

    At OAN, Gaetz will also co-host a video podcast with Dan Ball, host of “Real America with Dan Ball,” that the network said would feature “unfiltered conversations” for Gen Z, Millennials and early Gen Xers.

    Gaetz praised the network in a statement for embracing platforms like streaming, apps, podcasts and social media, which he called places “where Americans are going.” Trump during his 2024 run similarly embraced alternative media sources to reach voters.

    Known for its strong conservative viewpoints, OAN has been steadily expanding its roster of opinion-driven programming, and Gaetz’s high-profile presence is likely to attract loyal viewers from his political base and other cable news networks.

    Trump Gives Surprising Response When Asked About Prosecuting Biden

    Will the Trump administration prosecute Joe Biden? It does not seem likely…

    President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News anchor Kristen Welker he would be open to prosecuting President Joe Biden if “I find something that I think is reasonable.”

    Trump sat for an exclusive interview that aired on Sunday morning’s edition of NBC’s Meet the Press, during which Welker asked Trump about the “retribution” he has publicly demanded for years, and specifically his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” Joe Biden.

    KRISTEN WELKER: Well, let me ask you this. You said, President Biden, quote, that you’re going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden. You said that during –

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Where did I say that?

    KRISTEN WELKER: — the campaign

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Where?

    KRISTEN WELKER: You said that on Truth Social, June 12, 2023: “I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States, Joe Biden –

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: Well, that part is true.

    KRISTEN WELKER: — and the entire Biden crime family.” Are you going to do that? Are you going to go after Joe Biden?

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: I’m really looking to make our country successful. I’m not looking to go back into the past.

    Trump said he’d only consider going after Biden if “I find something that I think is reasonable” — but claimed it wouldn’t be his decision:

    KRISTEN WELKER: I want to pause here, because what you’re saying is significant. Because you wrote on Truth Social in 2023 that you’re going to appoint a real special prosecutor to go after Joe Biden. Now you’re saying you’re not going to do that.

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: I will say this, no, I’m not doing that unless I find something that I think is reasonable, but that’s not going to be my decision. That’s going to be Pam Bondi’s decision, and, to a different extent, Kash Patel, assuming they’re both there, and I think they’re both going to get approved. But I — I — you know, while you ask me that, what they’ve done to me with weaponization is a disgrace.

    KRISTEN WELKER: We’ll get to some of that, sir —

    PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP: No, no, wait, wait, wait, you can’t do one without the other. In the history of our country, nothing like this has ever happened. And I’ve won these cases. I’ve won every one and the rest are in the process of being won. Deranged Jack Smith is on his way back to The Hague where he can execute people. This is where he should have stayed. I don’t — I think he’s dangerous even being there. But I’ll tell you what, what they’ve done to me in terms of weaponization, indictments, impeachments and everything else. And in the end, it probably helped, because I got the biggest vote, the most votes any Republican’s ever gotten in history.

    YMCA Singer Defends Trump’s Use Of Song – Floats Potential Inauguration Performance

    Victor Willis, a founding member of the Village People and co-writer of the popular “Y.M.C.A.” disco song defended President-elect Donald Trump’s use of the song and rebuked claims the song is a “gay anthem.”

    The 73-year-old songwriter wrote a lengthy Facebook post explaining that the popular song was based on his perception of the organization, saying he “knew nothing about the Y being a hang out for gays.” Y.M.C.A. is an acronym for the Young Men’s Christian Association nonprofit.

    “When I say, ‘hang out with all the boys’ that is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging-out together for sports, gambling or whatever. There’s nothing gay about that,” he said of the lyrics.

    Willis added that even though some members of Village People were gay, “Y.M.C.A” was not meant to be about sexuality, and people should get their “minds out of the gutter.”The singer went on to say those assumptions are “damaging to the song” and that starting next year, he and his wife will sue any news outlet that refers to “Y.M.C.A.” as a gay anthem.

    Willis said he has received “over a thousand complaints” about the use of “Y.M.C.A” at Trump’s campaign rallies. Trump started using the song on the campaign trail in 2020.

    The songwriter added that while getting all the complaints was a “nuisance,” he eventually realized the benefit of Trump using the song and reviving its popularity more than four decades after its release. 

    “For example, Y.M.C.A. was stuck at #2 on the Billboard chart prior to the President Elect’s use. However, the song finally made it to #1 on a Billboard chart after over 45 years (and held on to #1 for two weeks) due to the President Elect’s use,” Willis wrote, saying, “the financial benefits have been great.”

    “I decided to allow the president-elect’s continued use of YMCA because he seems to genuinely, genuinely like the song and so many other artists were stopping him from using their music,” Willis said on Fox News.

    Willis told Fox News the Village People likely would decline to perform at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony but given the President-elect’s role in reviving the 1978 song’s popularity.

    “If you were to ask me today if the Village People would perform at the inauguration, I would probably say not because we’d be concerned about endorsement.”

    “However, because the president-elect has done so much for YMCA and brought so much joy to so many people, the song has actually gone back to No. 1, and it’s still No. 1 today, so if he were to ask the Village People to perform the song live for him, we’d have to seriously consider it.”

    Kash Patel Threatens To Sue Ex-Pence Aide

    The gloves are off…

    Kash Patel’s legal team threatened Wednesday to sue a former aide to Mike Pence who claimed he was unfit to lead the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    Over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump announced Patel would replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray for his incoming administration.

    “Today, Kash Patel sent a letter to my counsel @MarkSZaidEsq – threatening legal action & demanding that I retract my comments on MSNBC about his unfitness to serve as FBI Director,” Troye wrote on X. “This aligns with his threats against the media & political opponents, revealing how he might conduct himself if confirmed in the role.”

    She added, “I stand by my statements—my priority remains the safety & security of the American people. I am not the only one who has expressed concerns about him. So why me? And so it begins.”

    On Monday, Troye claimed during an MSNBC interview that Patel would “lie about intelligence” while serving in the Department of Defense during Trump’s first term. A lawyer representing Patel told Troye her comments were “defamatory” and demanded she retract them via a public statement on X “within five business days of receipt of this letter.”

    “Unless this step is taken, Mr. Patel will take swift legal action to uphold his rights and reputation,” wrote Patel’s attorney Jesse Binnall.

    Fox News Contributor Dead After Battle With Cancer

    Fox News contributor and doctor Kelly Powers has died after a long battle with cancer.

    Powers was first diagnosed with brain cancer after facing a series of health complications in 2020, and went into remission before the deadly illness returned this year.

    She was a regular on the Fox News talk show Red Eye, and made appearances on Fox Business where she led segments on health risks facing Americans.

    Powers was educated at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and did her residency at the Boston University School Of Medicine.

    After years of helping patients, Powers became one herself while hosting a Fox News segment about heart health when she began to experience shortness of breath and chest pains.

    “It’s crazy – I went into heart failure while doing a report on Fox Business – live – on heart health and talking about the subtle signs that women often miss. You can’t make this up,” she told Preferred Health Magazine in an interview after her first diagnosis.

    She battled through that ailment, only to discover she had the aggressive brain cancer glioblastoma a short time later.

    After three surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, she managed to beat the cancer back — all while becoming pregnant and giving birth to a boy, Bennett, according to a GoFundMe.

    When her cancer returned in 2024, friends raised nearly $100,000 to help pay for an experimental treatment that insurance wouldn’t cover.

    Powers is survived by Bennett, 3, and her husband, Steve. She was 45 years old.

    Why 2 Media Pundits Want Biden To Pardon Trump

    President Biden has an opportunity here…

    Chris Cuomo and Stephen A. Smith joined together this week and suggested President Joe Biden give a pardon to President-elect Donald Trump after offering one to his son Hunter Biden over the weekend.

    Smith joined Cuomo on Monday evening to break down the news. Biden’s decision to pardon his son has faced backlash in light of the fact that the president previously said he would not take such action.

    Watch:

    “You know what else Biden should do? And I know people are going to get upset about this, but just think about it before you go crazy on me — not you, everybody else,” Cuomo told Smith. “If I were he, I would pardon Trump. I would say, this has got to stop.”

    Smith was in full agreement with Cuomo, telling Democrats it’s time to move on and focus on future elections.

    “Chris, that’s exactly what I would do, that’s exactly what I would do. Enough’s enough,” the sports broadcaster said. “You know what? You’re the Democrats, you lost the election, you got your butt whipped, you could have prevented him from going back to the White House.”

    Smith added it’s “time to move forward,” as any lingering investigations into Trump will die when he steps back into office.

    “You want to get at Trump? Sit back and judge what he does,” he said. “Guess what? You’ve got a midterm election in two years. Are you going to be ready?”
