Making Canada the 51st state. Retaking control of the Panama Canal. Buying Greenland. Donald Trump made a series of Christmas pronouncements that legacy media dismissed as classic bravado unworthy of serious consideration, but those who advise the President-elect say there is a more calculating intent behind his recent social media flurry.

U.S. Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA-01) endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA-04) to retain his leadership position on Thursday, arguing a protracted battle to select the next Speaker of the House could jeopardize the ability of President-elect Donald Trump to enact his political agenda within his first 100 days in office.

Ask a leader how to get a job in Washington, D.C., and he’ll say, “Call A.J. Rice.” The author of The White Privilege Album and a commentator in his own right, whose writings are both intelligent and irreverent, Rice is also the founder of Publius PR. His connections are both a means to network and a network for the distribution of conservative ideas. Unlike the networks of old, with their gatekeepers and empty suits, a new network—a series of conservative networks—now exists. The network is a success, thanks to a proposition that is as foreign to liberals as it is natural to conservatives: entertainment matters. Entertainment is a necessity, as Rice knows, because it is not enough to be right or a person of the right. Entertainment is a form of education, as Rice proves, because the strength of an idea rests on the strength—the talent, the skill, the timing, the finesse—of the person who advances it.
Look at President Trump, who is the most famous entertainer among presidents since Ronald Reagan and the only other president besides Reagan with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Look at how Trump embodies Rice’s point about communication. Look, also, at how Trump’s advisers, who are the same people that Rice advises, entertain an audience. The sights—and the sites, from Coachella to Madison Square Garden to Van Andel Arena—have the air of a rock concert. The performances are not rallies but experiences, with the crowds as players, in which everyone takes part.

A little-known environmental provision in the fiscal year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has no impact on military operations, but will instead serve to “protect the native vegetation,” a Navy spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement Tuesday.
The nearly $884 billion defense bill passed by the U.S. Senate Wednesday includes an initiative to “manage, control and interdict the coconut rhinoceros beetle” — an invasive species of insect that bore holes into the canopies of palm trees — “on military installations in Hawaii.” By the Navy’s own admission, the initiative’s purpose is to preserve vegetation, and thus is effectively unrelated to the Department of Defense’s (DOD) stated mission “to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation’s security.”

Never in U.S. history has a president-elect been welcomed as the real president before his January 20 inauguration. And never has the incumbent president so willingly surrendered his last two months in office and all but abdicated—to the relief of his nation and the rest of the world.
One reason so many are welcoming Trump’s return is the universally desperate hope that his election spelled an end to a collective madness at home and its ripples abroad during the last four years. And why not?

Dozens of media outlets are reporting in unison that Donald Trump cannot stop the U.S. government from awarding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants. They claim this is the case because the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution requires it.
In reality, the legislative history of the 14th Amendment is clear that it only grants birthright citizenship to the children of people who are legally and permanently living in the United States. This does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, visitors, or tourists.

Disgraced former Democratic New York Rep. Anthony Weiner may be gearing up for an attempted political comeback, according to New York City campaign records.
Weiner, formerly married to top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, saw his political career and marriage implode in the wake of lurid sexting scandals, including one in which he sent explicit photographs to an underage woman that resulted in a jail sentence. Now, the registered sex offender appears to be laying the groundwork for a career resurgence, as the New York City Campaign Finance Board (NYCCFB) indicates that Weiner will run to represent New York City’s second district on the city council next year.
