Bill Clinton Reveals His Extreme Reaction to Hillary Losing Election to Trump

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Bill Clinton revealed his extreme reaction to his wife Hillary Clinton losing to President-elect Donald Trump in 2016.

Clinton is releasing a memoir entitled “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” in which he says that he couldn’t sleep for two years and would often explode into fits of rage.

“The whole thing is hard for me to write,” the former president wrote. “I couldn’t sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry, I wasn’t fit to be around.”

Clinton went on to call it the “darkest election possible in the United States” and blamed the media as well as Russian interference for his wife’s stunning loss to Trump for his first term. He also referenced former FBI Director James Comey’s announcement about the investigation into Hillary Clinton ahead of the election.

“Almost two years after the election, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a highly regarded social scientist, said Russia’s cyber attacks piled on top of Comey’s interventions were effective enough to persuade voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to vote for third parties or stay at home,” he added, referring to the battleground states.

WATCH: Powerful Democrat Pushes Twisted Definition of ‘The Deep State’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin on CNN Sunday said he had not seen “proof” the FBI was being weaponized against one political party, while calling out President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Kash Patel as his FBI director.

Trump announced Saturday his plans to replace current FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom he appointed during his first term, with Patel, whom he said would help the agency “end the growing crime epidemic in America, dismantle the migrant criminal gangs, and stop the evil scourge of human and drug trafficking across the border.” On “State of the Union,” guest host Kasie Hunt began by asking for Raskin’s reaction to Trump’s pick.

“Well, Christopher Wray, of course, is a Republican, appointed by a Republican, as he has said. But apparently he has demonstrated too much independence and objectivity in the job for Donald Trump, who wants much more of a personal loyalist in the position, and that’s why he’s gone to Kash Patel,” Raskin said.

Hunt then jumped in and questioned the Democratic lawmaker on whether he believed there were “any issues” inside the FBI under its current leadership, to which Raskin did not deny historically, but claimed there was no current proof for one party being targeted, as he listed Democrats who had been charged federally.

Trump Nominates DEA Administrator

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Hillsborough County, Florida, Sheriff Chad Chronister to lead the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), he announced Saturday.

Chronister, who has served with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office for more than 32 years, received “countless commendations and awards for keeping his community SAFE,” Trump said in a Truth Social post.

“A proud graduate of the FBI National Academy’s 260th Session, Chad is Co-Chairman of the Regional Domestic Security Task Force for Region IV Tampa Bay, Council Member of the Florida Attorney General’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking, Chairman of the Criminal Justice Sub-Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Hillsborough County Public Safety Coordinating Council, and Vice-Chairman of the Hillsborough County Public Schools Citizen Oversight Committee,” the president-elect continued.

“As DEA Administrator, Chad will work with our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to secure the Border, stop the flow of Fentanyl, and other Illegal Drugs, across the Southern Border, and SAVE LIVES,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations to Chad, his wife Nikki, and two wonderful sons!”

In a post on X, the sheriff called the nomination the “honor of a lifetime”:

Trump Predicted Biden Would Pardon Criminal Hunter Even as Joe Denied It (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump predicted President Joe Biden would pardon his criminal son Hunter even as the elder Biden repeatedly denied he would do so.

President Biden shocked the establishment media and many around the world Sunday by announcing a full and complete pardon of Hunter despite repeatedly stating unequivocally he would not do so. Hunter was found guilty earlier this year on three federal gun charges but has faced numerous legal issues and intense scrutiny from Capitol Hill investigators.

Trump, who predicted the pardon in October, was likely unsurprised.

“I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him, let’s see what happens, but he’s a bad boy, there’s no question about it,” Trump told Bill Melugin of Fox News on October 24, 2024, when asked if he himself would be open to pardoning Biden’s son.

No Prejudice Here: Jack Smith’s Legal Move Keeps Federal Cases Against Trump Waiting In the Wings

/4 Comments/in , /by

Even though both federal criminal prosecutions against President-elect Donald Trump have been dismissed, the charges could return against him again once he leaves office in 2029.

Special counsel Jack Smith had his two cases dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be renewed in the future. Mr. Trump’s legal team has not moved to have them dismissed with prejudice.

Brian Claypool, a trial lawyer in California, said Mr. Smith moved to dismiss the cases before Inauguration Day because he “wanted to control the narrative and keep these charges alive.”

“Otherwise, Trump would have fired him after the inauguration, then [Trump’s nominee for Attorney General] Pam Bondi would have come in and had all of the charges dismissed ‘with prejudice,’ meaning they are expunged forever and cannot be revived,” Mr. Claypool said. . .

“If a Republican wins in 2028, then the statute of limitations will likely have run on these charges by the time 2032 rolls around. If a Democrat wins in 2028, he/she could have the new Attorney General refile the charges against Trump since he would be a private citizen by then,” Mr. Claypool said in an email to The Washington Times.

Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024.

“We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity.

“We utterly mismanaged that issue, including our Democratic caucus here. That’s political malpractice. That’s not someone else’s fault. That’s not the groups pushing us around.”

A source close to New York City Mayor Eric Adams also told The Post that fellow Democrats should have listened to him after he “warned for two years” that a porous border “would overburden cities and alienate working class people — and they did not listen.” (Read more from “Dems Finally Admit to Key Biden Blunder After Election Loss” HERE)

Trump Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi Heads to Capitol Hill

/2 Comments/in , /by

Pam Bondi, a longtime loyalist to President-elect Donald Trump and his pick for attorney general, is headed to Capitol Hill next week to start meetings with key Republicans in Congress, paving the way for a smooth confirmation.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Friday that he would meet with Bondi on Monday morning.

Grassley is poised to chair the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has long been tasked with evaluating and considering picks for attorney general. The Iowa Republican, 91, is also expected to become Senate president pro tempore, third in line to the presidency.

“Attorney General Nominee Bondi is looking forward to the confirmation process and answering any questions senators might have,” Trump transition spokesman Alex Pfeiffer told the Washington Examiner. “Attorney General Nominee Bondi’s life has been dedicated to keeping Americans safe. She looks forward to continuing that work at the Department of Justice.”

Trump nominated Bondi for attorney general last week after former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration. (Read more from “Trump Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi Heads to Capitol Hill” HERE)

Conservatives Fear Arizona House Committee Shakeup Could Stymie Election Integrity Bills

/2 Comments/in , /by

Arizona conservatives had much to celebrate after the dust finally settled on the 2024 election. Not only did voters deliver the Grand Canyon State’s 11 electoral votes to Donald Trump, but they also helped Republicans expand their slim legislative majorities, thus preventing Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs and Arizona leftists from transforming the state into “California 2.0.”

Numerous policy issues are expected to be tackled during next year’s legislative session. It’s fixing the state’s broken elections system, however, that seems to be top of mind for many Republicans.

Last week, state and local GOP leaders held a call with Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd to discuss ways Arizona can improve its ballot tabulation process and deliver timely results like the Sunshine State. Delayed production of election results has become a feature of Arizona elections in recent years. The state certified the results of its 2024 presidential election on Monday — almost three weeks after the Nov. 5 contest.

While supportive of attempts to adopt “Florida-style” elections, some Arizona conservatives who spoke with The Federalist expressed concern that a shakeup of the House of Representatives’ elections committee could hinder efforts to pass legislation integral to improving the state’s electoral system.

The list of House committees published last week by Speaker-elect Steve Montenegro revealed that the Municipal Oversight & Elections Committee is no more, with election-related matters now shoehorned into a committee alongside military affairs and federalism issues. State GOP Rep. Rachel Jones told The Federalist she’s worried that including the complex subject of elections into a committee with other important policy matters may jeopardize lawmakers and citizens’ ability to thoroughly screen bills coming through the body.

Foreign Leader Pays Surprise Visit to President-Elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago Amid Tariff Threats

/3 Comments/in , /by

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has flown to Florida to meet with President-elect Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.

A person familiar with the matter, according to the AP, said Trudeau will have dinner with Trump. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. . .

The visit comes days after Trump threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico over failures by both nations to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs from those countries into the U.S.

Trudeau said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariff issue by talking to Trump.

“We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” he told reporters in Canada’s Prince Edward Island. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.” (Read more from “Foreign Leader Pays Surprise Visit to President-Elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago Amid Tariff Threats” HERE)

Judge Allows State To Protect Children From Trans Mutilation

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Monday a Missouri judge upheld a state law banning transgender child mutilation and chemical castration, as well as prohibiting Medicaid from covering these medical interventions.

In a 74-page ruling, Judge R. Craig Carter ruled that the law, passed in 2023, was constitutional in the face of a challenge from three teenagers who claim to be a gender different from their biological sex, some medical professionals, and gay lobbying groups:

Gender dysphoria is classified as a mental disorder. Generally, western medicine treats mental disorders by actually treating the mental aspect, like prescribing Zoloft to treat depression. However, the gender dysphoria treatment prohibited by Missouri uses drugs and surgeries to either inhibit normal healthy human growth or surgically remove and replace healthy human organs. Such an approach to treatment is well outside normal medicine, and medical ethicists are unable to agree on the propriety thereof.

Furthermore, the credible evidence shows that a vast majority of children who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria outgrow the condition. The Endocrine Society guidelines state that approximately 85% of gender dysphoria-diagnosed prepubertal children did not remain gender incongruent later in life. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual holds that around 98% of these children do not remain gender incongruent. Essentially, it seems that all of this untested, non-emergency, possibly unethical, possibly unnecessary care would be performed on children and adolescents when the vast majority of minors would simply outgrow the condition by the time they reach adulthood.

Carter also highlighted the experimental nature of the medical interventions, noting the “almost total lack of consensus as to the medical ethics” and a “disagreement as to whether adolescent gender dysphoria and surgical treatment was ethical at all.” (Read more from “Judge Allows State To Protect Children From Trans Mutilation” HERE)
