#10 Every Uncalled Race Left in the Fight for Control in Washington - Bridget Bowman and Ben Kamisar for NBC News, Political Polls, Joey Mannarino, Eric Daugherty, Insurrection Barbie, and Kyle Becker on X
Former President Donald Trump has clinched a second term in the White House, and his Republican Party has won control of the Senate. But control of the House of Representatives is still up for grabs, as is the size of the incoming Senate majority. In the fight for the House, Democrats are facing an uphill climb to net the four seats needed to flip the chamber. With dozens of House races still uncalled and many looking close, Democrats would need to hang onto all of their competitive seats and flip a few Republican-held seats to get to the 218 seats needed for the majority. Meanwhile, Republicans need to win a handful of those competitive races to hold onto the chamber...
#9 Trump Releases Plan to ‘Dismantle’ the American ‘Deep State’ - Satyam Singh for News X, Charlie Kirk, Alex Jones, and Townhall on X
Trump unveils a plan to "dismantle" the deep state, proposing sweeping reforms in federal agencies, FISA courts, and government accountability to curb Washington corruption. In a recently released statement, Donald Trump laid out an extensive plan aimed at what he describes as “dismantling” the so-called “deep state” and reclaiming American democracy from Washington’s “corruption.” Trump’s ten-point strategy aims to reshape federal governance, particularly targeting long-standing bureaucratic practices and structures within the intelligence and national security sectors. Emphasizing transparency and accountability, his proposal includes executive orders, reforms, and a push for structural changes within government agencies...#8 Mike Pompeo Served on the Board of a Ukrainian Telecom, Imperiling Bid to Rejoin Trump White House - Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain for Drop Site, Hodgetwins, Gain of Fauci, Luke Rudkowski/Mike Cernovich, Team USA, Libertarian Party, and Mises Caucus/Red Pill USA on X
A debate over Mike Pompeo’s role inside the incoming Trump administration is quickly becoming a defining contest between those in Donald Trump’s orbit who want to make good on his promise to bring peace versus those who see his presidency as an opportunity to further ignite conflict, according to sources involved in the battle. Pompeo served as Trump’s CIA director and then his secretary of state, but it is his more recent board service with a Ukrainian oligarch’s telecom firm, coupled with his hawkish approach to global conflict, that has his comeback effort running into significant obstacles...

#6 Trump Names Susie Wiles as First Female White House Chief of Staff in History - Fox News. Collin Rugg, Elise Stefanik, Nick Sortor, Marjorie Taylor Green Press Release, and James Woods on X
Susie Wiles, a longtime GOP operative, will serve as President-elect Trump’s White House chief of staff. Largely avoiding the spotlight, Wiles has been widely credited for running what was Trump’s most disciplined and well-executed campaign. During his victory celebration in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump gave a special thanks to Wiles for her prominent role in the campaign. Trump described Wiles as "tough, smart, innovative" and said she is "universally admired and respected." He noted her place as the first female chief of staff in U.S. history, saying: "I have no doubt that she will make our country proud." Veteran GOP strategist John Brabender told Fox News Digital: "If they searched high and low in the entire world, there is not a better choice than Susie Wiles for White House Chief of Staff."
#5 New York City Ending Voucher Program That Allowed Migrant Families to Buy Their Own Food - Eyewitness News, Jessica Alice, Dapper Detective, and Open Source Intel on X
New York City has announced it will no longer issue vouchers to migrants to pay for food, ending a controversial program that had repeatedly come under attack by conservatives and others. "As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes," Mayor Eric Adams's Office said in a statement. The pilot program distributed debit cards to migrant families staying in city-funded hotels, allowing them to buy their own food. While the program was characterized by some as an additional expense, it was initially conceived as a way to save money by no longer buying food the asylum seekers did not want to eat. The city estimates it cost half as much as the boxed-meal delivery service it replaced...
#4 University of Oregon Employee on Leave After Telling Trump Voters ‘Jump off a F***Ing Bridge’ - Dylan Scott for Fox News 5, Libs of TikTok, and Resist the Media on X
On Thursday, a Greek Life Administrator at the University of Oregon is on leave after posting an offensive reaction to the results of the election. “You can literally go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f***** paying job. Do better for yourself. Get a f**** education. Because you’re f**** stupid. And I hope you go jump off of a f****** bridge.”The Ducks’ Fraternity and Sorority Life Assistant Director Leonard Serrato posted that rant, mocking Trump supporters, on his Instagram story. He has since been placed on paid administrative leave and the video is no longer online. The university said in a statement, “the statements made in the video are abhorrent and not in alignment with our values or mission. We opened an investigation and are reviewing the matter under university policies and the individual’s role as a public employee.”
#3 The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide - Jeffrey A. Tucker The Brownstone Institute
No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support, and the scheme collapsed. It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back...
#2 Global Inspiration: Sikkim in India is the World’s First 100% Organic State - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire
In 2016, Sikkim, a tiny Himalayan state in northeastern India, gained global recognition by becoming the world’s first fully organic state. Every single inch of its farmland is certified organic. This achievement, led by the state’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, has been truly transformational for the state and its citizens and positioned Sikkim as a model for organic farming worldwide. However, the transformation was not without challenges, and the state now confronts new obstacles related to maintaining organic practices, economic pressures, and the impact of the doom and gloom climate change narrative on the future of organic agriculture...#1 Trump’s Win Ignites a Crypto Frenzy That Sends Bitcoin to a Record High - Kelvin Chan for AP News, Bitcoin Magazine, Cointelegraph, Altcoin Daily, and Lark Davis on X

And Now for Something Special
Early Christmas?
Luxuriate in the Season: Five Reasons to Enjoy a Long Festive Period - Gavin Haines for Positive News, 90s WWE, Native Patriot, Ali Starr, Real Ben Garrison Cartoons, Brittany Martinez, and Tracy Beanz on X
Many of us have long suspected Christmas creep – the festive season beginning earlier every year – to be real, and now it’s been proven. A recent analysis of figures from major supermarkets, local news bulletins, and the UK Top 40 chart provides vindication for Grinch-like grumblers. Cold hard data now supports the theory that Christmas songs, decorations, and merchandise are appearing earlier and earlier (in the UK, at least). But, lining the pockets of mince pie manufacturers aside, what if there was good reason to stretch out the festive period? After all, the long nights and cold days are nature’s invitation to hunker down and embrace the fallow months. Our circadian rhythm implores us to rest, reflect and to rejuvenate...
