‘Hannity Vanity!’ MAGA Fans Melt Down Over Fox News Host’s Behavior in New Trump Interview

. . .Hannity, usually a favorite among conservatives, was chided up and down on social media Thursday.

MAGA influencer @catturd2 posted , “Hannity loves to hear himself talk. Pathetic,” in response to a regional Trump campaign official’s complaint, “Why can’t Hannity just hush and stop interrupting? This character flaw aggravates me so much. Let @POTUS speak man!!!”

A poster described as a ” communications professional ” wrote, “Yeah, there’s a difference between being a talk show host on the radio where you’re the only person in the room and the role of an interviewer. He hasn’t figured that out yet. Kind of a shame given the access he has.”

Yet another poster wrote , “Hannity Vanity – That’s my President.. Let him speak.”

Hannity interrupted Trump several times to change the topic to the economy — an issue pundits agreed helped Trump win the election. But Trump wasn’t having it, causing Hannity to keep interrupting.

Trump Erases ‘Bidenbucks’ And Taxpayer-Funded Leftist Voter Registration Drives

“Bidenbucks” was technically dead on arrival on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, but the election-influencing executive order that Trump’s predecessor signed nearly four years ago will take diligence to fully kill.

As David Craig, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told The Federalist, Biden’s order “has substantial tentacles across government.” FGA has been on the frontlines of the battle against Bidenbucks since the executive order’s inception at the beginning of Biden’s term.

“The head is cut off the snake but the body continues to slither,” Craig said, noting how deeply embedded Bidenbucks is in every agency, each teeming with left-leaning bureaucrats.

Soon after taking the oath of office on Monday, the new president rescinded scores of his predecessor’s edicts that Trump says “embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal government.” Among the chloroformed is Biden’s Executive Order 14019. It has been expunged from the White House website. . .

The so-called “Promoting Access to Voting” directive that Biden signed in early March 2021 was nothing more than a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote machine to elect Democrats. As The Federalist has reported, the order instructed federal agencies to assist in a nationwide voter registration promotion campaign.

Kamala Harris Consulted Hillary Clinton Over How to Deal With Brutal Loss to Trump: Report

. . .Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House.

Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported.

Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory.

Harris, 60, was the first female vice president in US history and the second woman to serve as the Democrats’ presidential standard bearer.

But both were beaten by Trump, 78. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Consulted Hillary Clinton Over How to Deal With Brutal Loss to Trump: Report” HERE)

It Turns Out There’s Another January 6 Committee

It’s been a whirlwind of a week over January 6 and the select committee of all Democratically-appointed members who were supposed to investigate the events of that day. On Monday, outgoing President Joe Biden issued several preemptive pardons, including for members of that select committee, even though at least one such member, now Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) didn’t think it was the greatest idea. Later that same day, upon taking office, President Donald Trump issued pardons for the January 6 defendants. Now, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Wednesday, there’s to be a new select committee.

Teri Christoph, writing for our sister site of RedState, highlighted comments from Johnson’s announcement.

“This new committee replaces the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, and will once again be chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA),” Christoph wrote. We covered Loudermilk’s findings in a report last year. Any criticisms drew the ire of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chair of that committee, who continued to throw tantrums about her authority being questioned.

The select committee faced even more credibility issues after it was revealed that the Secret Service tried to offer testimony for months to rebut star witness Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony about then President Donald Trump during his first term, but that they were “rebuffed” until the day before the 2022 midterm elections.

“Here’s the interesting twist: it will now fall under the purview of the House Judiciary Committee and its chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH),” Christoph continued. “It seems a significant shift to move the J6 subcommittee from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the House Judiciary Committee, and is likely a direct result of Biden pardoning all those involved with the nefarious J6 Committee. There are a lot of Americans who would like to see true justice exacted here, using all judicial means possible, and this could be a significant step in making that happen,” she also later wrote. It is indeed an “interesting twist,” considering that then Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tried to name Jordan to the select committee, but was blocked from doing so by then Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

This Is President Trump’s Boldest Move So Far — Even Reagan Chickened Out on It

By now no one should be surprised at President Trump’s sweeping reversals of the conventional wisdom on everything from A (asylum) to W (wilderness access)­ — sorry, no executive orders affecting anything beginning with Z yet.

But in revoking President Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 Executive Order 11246 that launched our decades-long imposition of de facto racial quotas under the euphemism “affirmative action,” Trump has gone beyond the boldest imagination of any previous administration.

A brief history: When the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s Title VII — the clause banning racial discrimination in hiring — was debated in the Senate, opponents charged it would lead to racial quotas.

The Civil Rights Act’s floor manager, future Vice President Hubert Humphrey, denied the claim, saying, “If the senator can find in Title VII any language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion or national origin, I will start eating the pages one after another because it is not in there.”

Humphrey lied, essentially. The civil-rights lobby was already planning for Johnson’s executive order that called for federal contractors to adopt “affirmative action” — that is, quotas by another name.

Mayor Accused of Covering up Plot to Resist Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans

Government watchdog Judicial Watch is suing Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for records related to his reported plans to resist the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. Johnson’s office is now facing an open records lawsuit after denying that such documents exist.

In the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s election win, on November 12, the Democrat mayor held a press conference where he pledged that Chicago would remain a so-called “sanctuary city,” i.e. a liberal jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. In accordance, city officials will continue to shield all illegal aliens in Chicago from federal deportation officers, Johnson promised.

Trump’s border czar Tom Homan, who’s tasked with leading the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” said he’d cut off federal funds from cities, such as Chicago, that do not assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Chicago is on the list of the first “sanctuary cities” to be cleaned up under Trump. Homan warned that Johnson better not “impede” the Trump administration’s work or else face prosecution. “If he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien—I will prosecute him,” Homan said of Johnson.

Johnson, speaking for the first time on the outcome of the presidential race, called Trump “a tyrant” and those threats “dangerous.” (Read more from “Mayor Accused of Covering up Plot to Resist Trump’s Mass Deportation Plans” HERE)

Zelensky Calls For U.S. Troops in Ukraine

Intensifying talk in European capitals about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine’s front lines is welcome but it won’t work without American boots on the ground, President Volodymyr Zelensky says at the Davos World Economic Forum meeting.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has been at Davos this week drumming up support, but also attempting to ingratiate himself with President Donald Trump by acting as a conduit for America First messaging to European leaders. Nevertheless, Bloomberg reports the Ukrainian “bristled” at the suggestion the United States wouldn’t put boots on the ground in Ukraine to deter further Russian aggression.

The conversation follows months of talk in Europe, particularly in capitals like Paris, Warsaw, and London, about what happens when the now apparently inevitable ceasefire comes. Preventing Russia from simply using a pause as a chance to catch its breath, re-arm, and then attack anew after a short break is the main concern and European leaders have told President Zelensky they would want to consider deploying their own armies to Ukraine to prevent Russia from renewing hostilities.

But forward-deploying NATO like this and de facto welcoming Ukraine into its protective embrace wouldn’t work, President Zelensky reportedly told Bloomberg on the side-lines of Davos, without American manpower. He is reported to have said: “It can’t be without the United States… Even if some European friends think it can be, no it can’t be. Nobody will risk without the United States.”

As well as the United States, Zelensky also expressed optimism that China might be persuaded to force Russia to peace, because so much of Russia’s economy and military supply relies on Beijing. While “President Trump is the strongest”, Xi Jinping “can push Putin for peace, I’m sure”. (Read more from “Zelensky Calls For U.S. Troops in Ukraine” HERE)

Pete Hegseth Clears Major Procedural Hurdle — One Step Closer to Confirmation

Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth got one step closer to confirmation after his nomination passed a major procedural hurdle on Thursday afternoon.

The full Senate voted 51-49 to consider Hegseth’s nomination, which will likely take place Friday evening.

Hegseth’s nomination advanced despite a last-ditch effort by Senate Democrats to derail it.

On Tuesday, NBC News reported that Hegseth’s estranged ex-sister-in-law claimed he was abusive towards his ex-wife Samantha Deering — despite Deering telling NBC News that there was no abuse in their marriage and what they were planning to report was “inaccurate.”

Furthermore, both the ex-sister-in-law, Danielle Dietrich — who was married to and divorced from Hegseth’s brother, and Deering were interviewed by the FBI for Hegseth’s background investigation, and the investigation results came back as “unremarkable.” (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Clears Major Procedural Hurdle — One Step Closer to Confirmation” HERE)

J6 Investigation To Move To Judiciary Committee To Help Republicans Uncover FBI Abuses

By Townhall. Liz Cheney was pardoned by former President Joe Biden for her crimes against America, but congressional investigators will continue to uncover the truth of what really happened at the 2020 election protest at the United States Capitol — including the presence of FBI informants in the crowd, the placement and discovery of pipe bombs at party offices, and various other FBI abuses.

A new select subcommittee led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., will be established under the Judiciary Committee to continue the work of the previous Congress, according to multiple sources familiar with the plan. Loudermilk led the previous effort as chair of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee. That subcommittee released and published 40,000 hours of security footage from Jan. 6, uncovered interviews suppressed by Cheney’s committee that disputed her made-for-TV allegations, and referred Cheney for prosecution over her tampering with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson, a low-level Trump aide, began dramatically changing her story after clandestine correspondence with the former Republican representative. Cheney, who was hand-selected by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to run the committee and its televised show trial, accepted a pardon for her alleged witness tampering and other crimes she may have committed.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced the work would continue and be fully funded in a Jan. 2 social media post after President Biden awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal for leading a controversial committee that shaped the left’s understanding of the Jan. 6 protest.

“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence — created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump. They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time,” Johnson said on X. “Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress.”

As noted earlier, Loudermilk and his staff uncovered transcribed interviews Cheney’s committee had suppressed because they were at odds with the narrative she was creating. For instance, Cheney suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, falsely claiming she had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops.

Shocking New Twist in Biden Family Crime Drama Reveals Likely Reason Joe Pardoned Everybody

Joe Biden’s handlers didn’t pardon him—maybe by design. Perhaps, in the end, Joe, the man riddled with dementia, will be the fall guy for his entire criminal enterprise. And wouldn’t that be sweet justice?

The buzz about this possibility is gaining traction, thanks to a bombshell twist in the Biden crime family drama. A newly discovered bank account reveals over $240,000 in foreign money wired directly to Joe Biden, with no explanation. . .

So, did the handler’s know this new bank account was about to be exposed? That’s the question on everyone’s mind.

Will Biden ever face justice? After all, it’s obvious we’re dealing with the most corrupt president ever installed in the White House. (Read more from “Shocking New Twist in Biden Family Crime Drama Reveals Likely Reason Joe Pardoned Everybody” HERE)
