Elon Musk Says Now Is The Time To Make ‘Significant Changes’ To Federal Government

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk said Sunday during a victory rally for President-elect Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., that now was the time to make “significant changes” that would set the stage for centuries of American strength.

Musk made the comments after he was introduced by Trump in front of thousands of supporters at the Capital One Arena in D.C. Musk was a strong backer of Trump during the 2024 campaign and has been tasked with running an initiative called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“We’re looking forward to making a lot of changes, and this victory is the start,” Musk said. “What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes, and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever.”

Musk was joined on stage by his 4-year-old son X, who Musk described as “a very enthusiastic supporter” of Trump.

Shortly after he won the election, Trump announced that Musk would be heading up DOGE, to help cut federal government waste. (Read more from “Elon Musk Says Now Is The Time To Make ‘Significant Changes’ To Federal Government” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plans for the opening days of his administration during his Victory Rally in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, vowing an onslaught of executive orders that will make voters “extremely happy.”

“You’re going to see something tomorrow. You’re going to see executive orders that are going to make you extremely happy. Lots of them, lots of them. We have to set our country on a proper course. By the time the sun sets tomorrow evening, the invasion of our borders will have come to a halt and all the illegal border trespassers will, in some form or another, be on their way back home,” Trump said during his rally on Sunday.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported earlier Sunday that Trump will sign more than 200 executive actions on his first day in office.

“Every radical and foolish executive order of the Biden administration will be repealed within hours of when I take the oath of office,” Trump said. “You’re going to have a lot of fun watching television tomorrow.”

Trump vowed that he will make “remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Doctor Martin Luther King Jr” publicly available. He also vowed to start constructing the “Great Iron Dome missile defense shield,” as well as to get North Carolina back on its feet after hurricanes ripped through the state last year. As for January 6 protesters who were charged or convicted, Trump hinted they will be “very, very happy.” (Read more from “Trump Gives Sneak Peek of Plans for Opening Days of His Term, Vows ‘Biggest First Week’ in Presidential History” HERE)

Trump Reinstates TikTok Just Hours It Went Dark for American Users

/0 Comments/in , /by

TikTok has resumed its U.S. operations after receiving an unexpected boost from President-elect Donald Trump, who reportedly provided “assurances” that helped ease concerns over the app’s future in America. Following months of uncertainty surrounding potential bans and national security concerns, the app was shut down for American users late Saturday night, became unavailable, and was removed from Apple and Google’s app stores. However, sources say Trump’s involvement was pivotal in convincing lawmakers and regulators that the Chinese-owned app could continue its service under strict oversight.

During Trump’s massive pre-Inauguration Day rally on Sunday, the president-elect announced he would bring back access to the app for American users.

“As of today, TikTok is back,” Trump said during his historic rally on the eve of his inauguration.

Earlier in the day, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he would issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period before the law’s prohibitions occur. He said saving the app is necessary to protect the United State’s national security. The president-elect also said there would be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok being banned before his order.

Trump to Suspend Security Clearances of 51 Intelligence Officials Who Falsely Implied Hunter Biden Laptop Was Russian Fake

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump, on Day 1, plans to suspend security clearances of the 51 intelligence officials who claimed reporting tied to Hunter Biden’s laptop had “the classic earmarks” of Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election, according to a report.

Trump will repeal the clearances of the so-called “Spies Who Lie” as part of a flurry of executive orders he’s expected to sign on his first day back in the Oval Office, Fox News reported, citing a senior administration official familiar with the matter.

Federal authorities eventually confirmed that the laptop belonging to President Biden’s son was authentic, though the national security experts have said they stand by the 2020 letter they penned over their concerns of disinformation.

The Post’s reporting on the laptop leading up to the election between Biden and Trump included allegations of foreign influence-peddling, drug use and other lurid activities by the first son.

Emails from the device, which was left at a Delaware computer shop, showed that younger Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm where Hunter, 54, sat on the board.

Brutal Moment Karen Pence Snubbed Mike’s Kiss on Election Night With Six-Word Statement

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Karen Pence, wife to former Vice President Mike Pence, reportedly refused to kiss her husband when the winning ballot was read, announcing Donald Trump as the next President.

In Michael Lewis’ new book about the 2016 election, the author explained that Pence leaned in for a kiss, and Karen refused to kiss him back, turning away from him. “You got what you wanted, Mike,” she said, according to Lewis, adding another curt retort, “Now leave me alone.”

According to Lewis, the campaign team was in complete shock on election night when Trump secured Pennsylvania, Karen included.

“She wouldn’t so much as say hello to Trump. Trump himself just stared at the TV without saying anything, like a man with a pair of twos whose bluff has been called. His campaign hadn’t even bothered to prepare an acceptance speech,” Lewis wrote.

Although Karen did not show affection toward her husband in that moment, she supported him throughout the race. “I would characterize her as the silent, omnipresent partner. You knew she was there, you knew there was some considerable influence she wielded, but, boy, she was not public about it,” Brian Howey, the publisher of a political newsletter, told the Washington Post.

Trump Holds ‘Very Good’ Phone Call With Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping on TikTok and Fentanyl

/0 Comments/in , /by

American President-elect Donald Trump confirmed that he held a phone call with genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping on Friday, which he described as a “very good one” that will help Washington and Beijing “solve many problems.”

The Chinese state Xinhua News Agency also confirmed the phone call on Friday but offered no information outside of the existence of the phone call.

Trump is expected to assume the presidency of America a second time on Monday and won the 2024 election on a campaign platform identified the Chinese Communist Party as a major national security threat to the United States. Trump’s campaign repeatedly disparaged his first opponent, outgoing President Joe Biden, as being too friendly to the Communist Party and proposed policies such as limiting China’s ability to buy American farmland and imposing tariffs on China to limit the flood of slave-tainted goods hitting American store shelves. Chinese markets tanked after Trump won the presidency in November; Chinese media has transparently referred to Trump as a “threat” to communist interests.

None the overt friction between the two countries appeared in Trump’s message on his phone call with Xi. Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump promised that he, alongside Xi, would “do everything possible to make the World [sic] more peaceful and safe!”

“I just spoke to Chairman Xi Jinping of China. The call was a very good one for both China and the U.S.A,” Trump wrote. “It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately.” (Read more from “Trump Holds ‘Very Good’ Phone Call With Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping on TikTok and Fentanyl” HERE)

State Speaker Bans Trump-Supporting GOP Senator, Has Him Arrested

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Political differences, once again, have descended to physical blows as an “anti-Trump” Georgia House speaker banned a Trump-supporting senator from the House floor during a state of the state event, and he tried to enter anyway.

He was slammed to the floor by police and arrested.

Colton Moore, a Georgia state senator, had been banned from the House floor when he commented on the career, negatively, of the late House Speaker David Ralston.

He also had been dropped from the Senate Republican Caucus over his demands for a special legislative session to investigate Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who hired her paramour at the cost of $600,000 in tax money to create a failed organized crime case against President-elect Donald Trump.

‘So Much Distrust’: Incoming Trump NSA Disputes Report That Neocons Are Influencing MAGA Staffing

/1 Comment/in , /by

Incoming national security advisor Mike Waltz disputed a report that neoconservatives are helping staff the National Security Council (NSC) for President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, claiming no one is making personnel decisions outside of Trump and his transition team.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller, Waltz responded to a Tablet Magazine report that says Republican Ohio Rep. Mike Turner is boasting that he is “taking over Trump’s IC (Intelligence Community)” by trying to get his staff director, Adam Howard, hired as the NSC’s senior director for intelligence. Tablet reported that Howard “is meant to be [Turner’s] instrument” in the position.

However, Waltz and Turner both denied the report to the Caller. Waltz said he has not discussed NSC staffing or policy issues with Turner since he was nominated by Trump. Turner also claimed he has not been any part of the Trump transition team and that the anonymous report is false.

“President-elect Trump has a fantastic National Security team that will reverse the dangerous policies of the Biden Administration. I have not sought to participate in any part of the Trump transition team and have not participated. Anonymous reports to the contrary are false. I look forward to working with the Trump Administration,” Turner told the Caller.
