Trump warns Hamas ‘all hell will break out’ if it doesn’t release hostages before he takes office

By Ryan King | New York Post President-elect Donald Trump starkly warned Hamas to release the remaining hostages before Inauguration Day or else “all hell will break out,” without elaborating on a specific response. Hamas is currently believed to have 101 hostages, including seven Americans, at least three of whom are thought to be dead, and Trump has long threatened repercussions for the terror group if it fails to release them. “It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone,” Trump, 78, warned during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago Tuesday.

Trump announces Gulf of Mexico will get new, pro-America revamp

By Emma Colton | Fox News President-elect Trump announced the Gulf of Mexico is getting a new name.  "We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring. That covers a lot of territory," Trump said on Tuesday. "The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate." Trump made the announcement in his first press conference since Congress certified his election win over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday from Mar-a-Lago. He opened the press event by announcing DAMAC Properties will invest $20 billion in new data centers across the country in addition to previewing a bevy of policy issues ahead of his inauguration this month.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Trump confirms he’s sending son Don Jr. to help ‘MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!’

By Patrick Reilly | New York Post President-elect Donald Trump confirmed he is sending eldest son Don Jr. to Greenland as part of his efforts to make it part of the US — despite repeated denials it is for sale. Trump confirmed the fact-finding trip while sharing video of a Greenlander putting on a red Make America Great Again hat and asking the incoming US president to “buy us.” “I am hearing that the people of Greenland are ‘MAGA,’” Trump posted on his Truth Social late Monday.

Cleveland: Efforts to sentence Trump in sham NY criminal case confirm Democrats’ crazy lawfare

By Margot Cleveland | Commentary, The Federalist The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts was pure lawfare. On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan entered an 18-page order denying Trump’s motion to vacate the jury verdict and to dismiss the criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought against him with the help of several Biden-connected lawyers. Quoting the words President Biden used in pardoning Hunter for any crimes his so...

Grossman: In Trump 2.0, experience from the first administration will help tame the administrative state

By Andrew Grossman | Commentary, Washington Examiner President-elect Donald Trump’s second administration will have a running start on regulatory reform thanks to the experience of his first. A few key moves will go a long way toward taming the administrative state.  Similarly, Trump should end independent agencies’ exemption from the centralized regulatory review process administered by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget. That will improve the quality of their regulatory analyses and actions and ensure that they aren’t working at cross-purposes with other agencies. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Sloan: Is Trudeau, who has presided over disaster, exiting stage left?

By Kelly Sloan | Contributing Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice This made the rounds a couple weeks ago: President-elect Trump, fresh off of announcing his intention to impose a 25% tariff on Candidian goods, reportedly floated to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the idea of absorbing Canada into the Republic as the 51st state. True to form, he immortalized the offer as a clever image on his social media website, Truth Social. The suggestion, everyone knows, was not serious. Trump stands a better chance of buying Greenland from the Danes (a proposal he recently resurrected, this one perhaps semi-seriously.) But it speaks volumes, both to the embattled Canadian PM’s posture in general, and the incoming President’s disdain for him. And given the governing record of the Trudeau ...

In tight vote for Speaker, Johnson could potentially sweep four GOP votes from Colorado

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice A slight Republican margin in the U.S. House will make Speaker Mike Johnson's re-election bid later this week potentially a must-see. Republicans hold a 220-215 seat advantage in the U.S. House, but one Republican has resigned, and two other Republicans have indicated their opposition to Johnson. It takes 218 votes to win the Speaker vote. If Johnson is unable to swing either of the defectors, he doesn't win the Speaker vote — assuming Democratic members don't lend their support. U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is at least one who has withheld his support for Johnson thus far and told Fox News there were others. He has suggested alternative Speaker options of Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., or Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, both of whom have previously m...

Trump gives ‘complete and total endorsement’ of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House

By  Emily Brooks | The Hill President-elect Trump offered his complete and total endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday, days before a House vote on Friday to elect a new Speaker. “Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. Trump’s public endorsement could be key to a win by Johnson, who can only afford a handful of GOP defections and be elected Speaker. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL
