President-elect Donald Trump reportedly suggested to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week that if his country can’t handle Trump’s tariff plan they should become the 51st state. 

President-elect Trump threatened to block a foreign company from buying US Steel. He said he is wholeheartedly against the purchase. “I am totally against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company, in this case Nippon Steel of Japan.” “As President, I will block this deal from happening. Buyer Beware!!!” […] The post DJT to Block Sale of US Steel to Japan: Buy Made in USA Again appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The NFL suspended Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for three games on Tuesday for his illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. During Sunday’s game between the division rivals, Al-Shaair nailed Lawrence in the helmet while the QB slid to avoid being hit. Lawrence immediately clenched both fists after the hit, a reaction medical professionals say is common when enduring a traumatic brain injury. The Jaguars leader was carted off the field and later diagnosed with a concussion. The NFL’s vice president of football operations, Jon Runyan, said the hit was “unacceptable,” ESPN reported. “You were involved in a play that the (NFL) considers unacceptable and a serious violation of the playing rules,” Runyan wrote to Al-Shaair on Tuesday. “Video shows you striking the head/neck area of Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence after he clearly goes down in a feet-first slide. … You led with your forearm and helmet and delivered a forceful blow to the head/neck area of your opponent when you had time and space to avoid such contact.” It is now anticipated that Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair will be suspended for the hit that he delivered Sunday to Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence. The only question is for how long. pic.twitter.com/P8phFecS02 — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 2, 2024 The six-year NFL veteran was also reprimanded for taking part in the brawl that occurred after his hit on Lawrence. Runyan said Al-Shaair “escalated” the fight “when [he] pulled an opponent down to the ground by his facemask.” After Al-Shaair was ejected from the game on Sunday, he “removed [his] helmet and reengaged with [his] opponent while walking down and across the field, which started another physical confrontation near the end zone.” Al-Shaair apologized to Lawrence “for what ended up happening,” writing in a statement on Monday that he “genuinely didn’t see him sliding until it was too late.” Al-Shaair also slammed reporters and “racist and islamophobic (sic) fans and people” who have “called [him] every single name in the book.” “[You] don’t know my heart nor my character which I don’t need to prove to any of you,” he added. “God knows my intentions and anyone who has ever been a teammate or friend of mine knows my heart.” All Praise to Allah?? pic.twitter.com/pEbCRAg8fF — Azeez Al-shaair (@A_train2_) December 2, 2024 The three-game suspension marks the third time this season that the NFL has punished Al-Shaair for his “disregard” for the league’s rules. Last week, the linebacker was fined $11,250 for a late hit on Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard. Earlier this year, Al-Shaair was fined $11,817 after he punched Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson during a scuffle on the sideline. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL,” Runyan added. “Your continued disregard for NFL playing rules puts the health and safety of both you and your opponents in jeopardy and will not be tolerated.”

President Donald Trump and his transition team are preparing to launch his second term with a series of high-profile executive actions on critical issues like the border, trade, and national security. Promoting election integrity ought to be high on the list of priorities. The federal role in elections is limited, and rightly so. The Constitution leaves the power to regulate elections with the states. But the Biden administration and its Democrat allies expanded and abused federal power to stack the deck for their own reelections. They failed, and now President Trump has the chance to right the ship. Trump can start by repealing Executive Order 14019, Joe Biden’s unprecedented attempt to weaponize the federal government to help elect Democrats and defeat Donald Trump. The order requires every agency to focus on voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities in close coordination with partisan left-wing groups like the ACLU and the League of Women Voters. Small wonder, then, that the administration’s efforts were focused on driving turnout among college students, so-called “underrepresented groups,” and other demographics that make up the core of the Democratic Party. Much of what the administration did remains hidden from Congress and the public, but what we know is shocking. Earlier this year, Vice President Harris announced that the Federal Work-Study program would pay students to register and turn out voters, a policy only a hair away from buying votes with tax dollars. The U.S. Marshals Service renegotiated jail contracts across the country to require officials to provide voter registration materials to federal prisoners, with no apparent regard for whether they are eligible to vote or are even citizens. And the Small Business Administration signed an unprecedented decade-long voter registration agreement with Democrat officials in Michigan, just weeks after a mass protest vote in the Democratic Primary revealed huge problems there for the Biden campaign. Each of these, and the countless other rules, “Dear Colleague” letters, and agency actions that resulted from the Biden order should be systematically identified and undone. Existing contracts with third party groups for voter registration, mobilization, and related activities should be terminated. President Trump should issue his own order affirmatively banning any federal involvement in voter registration and turnout activities in the future, unless federal law explicitly requires it. The Trump administration should also release the planning documents and records the Biden administration has refused to disclose to Congress. And the Justice Department should consider opening investigations if the evidence suggests that officials violated federal laws like the Hatch Act by using their offices to illegally influence the election.  Speaking of DOJ, under Merrick Garland the agency has chosen to spend its resources attacking popular voting laws in red states like Georgia and suing to force Virginia to add self-identified noncitizens to the rolls ahead of the election. Incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi has the chance to end that nonsense and refocus the Department on investigating and prosecuting election crimes like noncitizen voting. Rather than support Marc Elias-backed lawsuits, Trump’s DOJ should aggressively defend voter ID laws, citizenship requirements, and other commonsense election integrity measures against baseless attacks in the courts. And the Department could go on offense, suing states with bloated voter rolls for violating the National Voter Registration Act’s clear requirements to maintain clean and accurate lists. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The Trump administration should also make it far easier for state officials to use federal records to identify and remove ineligible noncitizens from the voter rolls. Under Biden, the federal government made it a chore to access programs like Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, prompting states like Ohio to sue for access. The Trump Administration should require federal officials to grant access promptly upon request and look for ways to make accessing these resources as easy and inexpensive as possible. President Trump has the chance to make election integrity a cornerstone of his second term. Dismantling harmful policies like Executive Order 14019, defending election integrity laws, and empowering our states are critical steps to strengthen the foundation of our constitutional republic. By taking bold action, President Trump can rebuild faith in the democratic process and help make elections great again. * * * Jason Snead is the executive director of Honest Elections Project Action.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched strikes against Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon on Monday after the terrorist group violated a ceasefire agreement that went into effect last week. Hezbollah violated the ceasefire agreement when it launched two projectiles that struck Mount Dov on Monday. The IDF responded quickly to the attack as the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck dozens of launchers and additional terrorist infrastructure inside Lebanon. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Hezbollah’s launches tonight constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF said in a statement. “The State of Israel demands that the relevant parties in Lebanon fulfill their responsibilities and prevent Hezbollah’s hostile activity from within Lebanese territory. The State of Israel remains obligated to the fulfillment of the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon.” The IAF struck Hezbollah terrorists, dozens of launchers, and terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon a short while ago. Additionally, the IAF struck the Hezbollah launcher in the area of Berghoz in southern Lebanon shortly after the launch of the two projectiles toward Mount… — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) December 2, 2024 Hezbollah started the war with Israel last October shortly after Hamas — an Iranian-backed terrorist group inside Gaza — launched its unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel. The terrorist group has fired thousands of missiles, rockets, and drones inside Israel, displacing hundreds of thousands of Israelis who were forced to evacuate their homes and who have not been allowed to return. Israel has wiped out nearly all of Hezbollah’s top leaders and senior commanders over the last several months and has destroyed the majority of the terror group’s massive stockpile of munitions, according to the IDF.

It’s often said that art is meant to make us feel something, whether those emotions are positive or negative. The unusual art piece called Comedian certainly fits that definition! The piece is simple: It’s a banana duct-taped to a wall. Yep, that’s really all there is to it. This piece was created by Maurizio Cattelan in 2019. It’s been sold, and eaten, a few times since then. As weird as that may sound, eating the piece of work is actually part of the tradition of owning it. That’s because, when someone buys the Comedian, they’re really purchasing a certificate of authenticity. This gives the new owners the ability to use the name Comedian with their own art piece of a banana duct-taped on a wall. Speaking of which, Justin Sun is the latest owner of this widely talked about piece. View this post on Instagram A post shared by H.E. Justin Sun (@justinsun) Justin, who is a billionaire, has garnered quite a lot of attention in recent years. There’s his involvement in the world of cryptocurrency, something he’s mainly known for after creating Tron. But the purchase of Comedian is far from the first time folks have taken note of how he spends his money. In 2019, he showed public support for Greta Thunberg’s initiative to combat climate change. With that showing of support, he also donated $1 million to her cause. 6 Million Dollar Banana Art Piece Garners Worldwide Attention Once More You may be wondering: What does a banana that cost over 6 million dollars even taste like?
