Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt torpedoed The Washington Post over a media request the outlet sent to her, sharing screenshots of blatant attempts to tie President-elect Donald Trump to an act of racism. Leavitt posted a photo of the email from The Washington Post on her X account, tearing into the outlet for attempting to use such a situation to foment racial division and then blame Trump for it, despite even admitting that Trump was not remotely connected to the event in question. “I just received one of the most absurd emails EVER from the Washington Post,” Leavitt began. “This ‘reporter’ is doing gymnastics to try and sow division and blame President Trump for something that he admits in his email has no trace to him whatsoever.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “This is exactly why NOBODY trusts the Fake News Media,” Leavitt continued, adding, “Jeff Bezos warned his staff before the election, and they’re still not listening to him!” I just received one of the most absurd emails EVER from the Washington Post This “reporter” is doing gymnastics to try and sow division and blame President Trump for something that he admits in his email has no trace to him whatsoever This is exactly why NOBODY trusts the Fake… pic.twitter.com/IUhnsw58im — Karoline Leavitt (@karolineleavitt) November 26, 2024 The email, sent by a reporter named Emmanuel Felton, was about a racially charged incident that took place in Lawnside, New Jersey, within days of the 2024 presidential election. A local resident had reported seeing spray-painted slurs using the “n-word,” and Felton wanted Trump’s team to respond to the following section of the report: What happened in Lawnside was part of a wave of racial incidents that occurred in the days following Trump’s reelection. Around the time that Hines’ fence was sprayed, black people across the country were receiving text messages that said they’d been “selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.” And at the same time that Lawnside residents came together to discuss the graffiti on Hines’ fence, a group of self-identified Neo-Nazis marched and shouted the same slur in Columbus, Ohio. In the very next sentence, Felton gave away the game, however (emphasis added): “While none of these events can be traced directly back to Trump, experts say that his rhetoric has been tied to an increase in hate crimes across the nation.”

Social media was abuzz this week after NBC published an article that claimed “Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year” and suggested the average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people would cost just $58.08. The $58 dollar estimate comes from a survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation, which has conducted the same survey since 1984. That survey, however, has a limited number of items on it, which together can’t be considered a full Thanksgiving meal, let alone a meal for 10 people. The survey asks volunteer shoppers in all 50 states and Puerto Rico to search their local grocery stores for the prices for the following items: “Turkey, cubed stuffing, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls, frozen peas, fresh cranberries, celery, carrots, pumpkin pie mix and crusts, whipping cream, and whole milk.” If you’ve ever eaten a Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll notice a few things missing from this list — including potatoes, butter, gravy, and any ingredients needed to turn these basic items into actual dishes. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE When was the last time you sat down for Thanksgiving and filled your plate with cranberries (not in sauce form), peas, celery, carrots, and cooked but plain sweet potatoes? Of course, such a feast wouldn’t be complete without a pie crust and some dry pumpkin pie mix, which you could presumably mix up with that whipping cream. Doesn’t that sound delicious? In 2018, this survey added ham, Russet potatoes, and frozen green beans. Adding in these items already raises the price to $77.34, so the focus on $58 becomes an obvious attempt to make people think prices are low under the Biden administration. It reminds one of the administration’s embarrassing boast in 2021 that the cost of a July 4th cookout was 16 cents cheaper than in 2020. That, too, was based on a strange list of items used in a Farm Bureau survey. The claim immediately brought dissent on X, with people wondering how it was possible to feed 10 people for just $58. It turns out, as one might expect, that everything in the article is misleading, starting with the headline. The average cost of #Thanksgiving dinner (estimated at $58.08 for a 10-person gathering) has dropped 5% since last year – the lowest since 2021. ?https://t.co/U5KDj9AlxQ — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) November 25, 2024 To get the claim that prices are “historically affordable,” NBC had to hide most of what the survey found and use the “adjusted for inflation” metric. “When adjusted for inflation – or if your dollar had the same overall purchasing power as a consumer in 1984, right before the beginning of this survey – this would be the least expensive Thanksgiving meal in the 39-year history of the AFBF Thanksgiving survey, other than the outlier of 2020,” the survey authors wrote. But earlier in the survey, the authors admit that the cost this year “is still 19% higher than five years ago.” NBC did include this information in the sixth paragraph, but waves off this information because of federal data showing median household wages have grown 25% in the past five years, even if many workers haven’t seen that increase or don’t feel better off now than they were. The outlet tried to find Thanksgiving meal deals under $58, but, like the survey, came up short when it came to the true cost of the holiday. Target, for example, has a deal for some items that feeds four and costs just $20. Obviously, one can triple that and feed 12 for $60. But here’s what that includes: A frozen turkey up to 10 pounds A 5-pound bag of Russet potatoes A can of green beans A can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup A can of cranberry sauce A box of stuffing mix A jar of turkey gravy Again, this doesn’t include the ingredients needed to turn most of these items into dishes, such as butter or milk, and it also doesn’t include rolls. Add in the additional items needed, and the price goes up – and remember, this is just for four people. Costco also advertises a Thanksgiving meal kit that includes mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, turkey, stuffing, and gravy. It costs about $40, and they say it feeds seven to eight people. Here’s what it looks like:   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Costco Buys (@costcobuys) NBC found deals at Aldi and Walmart that were closer to a Thanksgiving meal for under or around $58. Aldi has a Thanksgiving basket it says will feed 10 people for just $47, which includes a 16-pound turkey “with spices, gravy, rolls, mac & cheese, stuffing – plus the ingredients for cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie.” Now, that sounds like an actual Thanksgiving dinner. But it sounded a bit too good to be true. So, The Daily Wire headed to our local Aldi to check it out. It turns out, according to two employees we spoke to, there was no basket or set list of items: the announcement was just a way to let people know Aldi has low prices. Specifically, they kept telling us the “pumpkin pie” on the list referred to a prepared pie, even though the Aldi announcement says the $47 price includes “the ingredients for… pumpkin pie.” Adding up all the necessary ingredients to make your own pumpkin pie, using Aldi’s cheapest items still costs about $20 before taxes, so it’s definitely better to buy a prepared pie, although The Daily Wire could not find one at our nearest location. The Aldi employees also couldn’t say just what ingredients were included in the $47 price – did it include milk or butter? Walmart also advertises an “inflation-free Thanksgiving” meal that includes 29 items and serves eight people for $56. That’s just under $58 but it feeds two fewer people. Here’s what it includes: A 16-pound frozen turkey A package of sweet Hawaiian rolls 3 cans of sweet whole kernel corn 1 can of cranberry sauce 2 cans of green beans A package of crispy fried onions 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup 2 packages of brown gravy mix A Marie Callender’s southern pecan pie A can of whipped topping 1 pie crust 1 can of pure pumpkin A carton of evaporated milk Mini marshmallows 2 boxes of corn muffin mix A package of poultry seasoning A package of chicken broth A 5-pound bag of Russet potatoes 3 sweet potatoes 1 yellow onion A package of celery stalks That does include a lot of ingredients, but is also missing the basic mixing items like butter and milk. The pumpkin pie recipe on the back of the can of pure pumpkin, for example, requires eggs, sugar, salt, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, and milk – none of which are included in the list above (the evaporated milk would be the substitute). If using the ingredients to make a sweet potato pie, you’re still missing eggs, brown sugar, butter, and other spices, depending on your recipe. The corn muffin mix also calls for an egg and milk, and possibly paper baking cups, all additional to the list above. Now, let’s talk about the turkey. A 16-pound turkey isn’t enough for 10 people, unless most of those people are children or are as tiny as The Daily Wire’s Kassy Akiva. Maybe these companies are banking on you having a lot of vegan relatives. Also, a single pack of this brand of rolls means one small roll per person with two left over. How many people will be satisfied with only one roll? Certainly more than two. To find out what $58 can actually buy for Thanksgiving, The Daily Wire went to a local grocery chain – one that wouldn’t be considered the “top tier” chain in the area. Using store rewards deals and choosing cheaper alternatives, we attempted to get items that would be included on a standard Thanksgiving dinner list. Here’s what we were able to get for $58.11 (remember the estimate is $58.08). Ashe Short/The Daily Wire We have a turkey and gravy mix, potatoes (but no butter or milk to properly mash them), two prepared pies, five cans of green beans (it was a 5 for $5 deal), and crispy French onions (but no cream of mushroom soup), two boxes of stuffing mix, and brown sugar, yams, and mini marshmallows (but no additional spices). So, with this, we could make … turkey, gravy, stuffing, and pie. We didn’t have enough for a green bean casserole or mashed potatoes or yams with marshmallows. We could cook potatoes and smash them, but they would have no flavor unless we already had enough butter and milk at home. This picture is also misleading, because that is the before tax cost of those items. Our state has a 4.75% sales tax, which would bring the cost up to $60.87, over the average claimed in the NBC article. To see what the cost of an actual Thanksgiving for 10 people would cost, The Daily Wire continued shopping to collect the remaining ingredients needed to make or vastly improve the dishes we were going for. We also included three bottles of cheap wine, because none of the grocery stores – or the Farm Bureau survey – took into account that people need to drink something during Thanksgiving dinner. Or maybe they just expected everyone to drink water, or already have enough juice or soda or whatever at home? Shopping the lowest prices we could, our list still came to $126.31 before taxes, or more than $130 after taxes. Granted, one could buy more prepared foods like mashed potatoes or yams, or make other dishes that don’t require a lot of extra ingredients. But based on all our research, it seems impossible to actually make Thanksgiving dinner for 10 regular people and keep the cost to around $58.

In September 2022, The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh released shocking video of a doctor referring to gender transition surgeries as “huge money makers.” The footage revealed Dr. Shayne Sebold Taylor, a physician, discussing how a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy could bring in around $40,000, and a female-to-male transition could bring in more than $100,000. These revelations raised ethical questions and prompted an investigation into the Pediatric Transgender Clinic where she worked. Alarm bells went off when we heard “Pediatric Transgender Clinic.” As a society, we recognize that young people do not have the intellectual or emotional maturity to make big, life-altering decisions. That is why you cannot vote until you turn 18. You cannot get a tattoo until you turn 18. Your frontal lobe does not fully develop until you are 25. Yet a hospital in the state was performing irreversible gender transition treatments on vulnerable children because those procedures were lucrative. There is no place for the exploitation of children in our state. Immediately after Walsh brought this to light, Tennesseans united in a call to action. In October 2022, responding to concerns raised by Walsh, lawmakers, and Tennesseans, all pediatric gender transitions were paused for a review while they completed a review. Thousands gathered at the capitol later that month in Nashville for a rally to end child mutilation. We stood alongside Walsh, U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and other state and national leaders to call for an end to this unethical practice. Notably, Chloe Cole, who was 18 at the time, shared her experience de-transitioning after undergoing “gender-affirming care” as a minor. She began taking puberty blockers and underwent “top surgery” at age 13 as a part of her transition from a female to a male. Cole, now 20, draws on her personal journey to advocate against transgender procedures for minors. In response, we filed Senate Bill 1 and House Bill 1, the first bills of the 113th General Assembly in each chamber, which banned gender transition procedures on minors in Tennessee. This issue centers on children making adult decisions with lifelong consequences. The Tennessee General Assembly decisively passed the legislation in February of 2023, signifying a major step forward in protecting children in the Volunteer State. Of course, we expected challenges to the new law from the far-Left. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and his exceptional team led a skillful defense through months of court challenges from Liberal groups. As public servants, we have a responsibility to listen to the people we represent and legislate according to their priorities. The people of Tennessee spoke loud and clear on this issue. We believe strongly in the constitutionality of Senate Bill 1. Now, we look ahead to Dec. 4, when the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Senate Bill 1. We pray that this case sets a national precedent for safeguarding vulnerable young people from irreversible and unproven medical procedures. No matter what happens in Washington D.C., here in Tennessee, we will always prioritize our children’s safety and well-being first.  * * * Jack Johnson serves as the Tennessee Senate Majority Leader and represents Senate District 27.

Erik and Lyle Menendez made their first court appearance in years on Monday as they hope to be resentenced for the 1989 murders of their parents due to possible new evidence, but the judge pushed back the hearing until January.  The brothers, who were convicted of first-degree murder in 1995 in their second trial, were in the courtroom virtually for a status hearing on a habeas corpus petition their attorneys filed last year, per CBS News. The document states that key evidence was not presented during their trials, which could help prove sexual abuse claims the Menendezes made against their father, which was used as a motive for the killings. No cameras were allowed in court, and the brothers couldn’t be seen on screen due to technical difficulties, per CNN. Their attorney, Mark Geragos, said two of the brothers’ aunts spoke in court. “It was quite a moving experience, at least where we sit, to listen to Aunt Terry [Baralt] and Aunt Joan [VanderMolen], who are respectively, Jose and Kitty’s older sisters,” Geragos said. “Both made impassioned pleas with the judge to send the brothers home.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I want them home,” VanderMolen, 92, said in the courtroom on Monday. “They should have never been in such situations. What can a kid do when his father’s — I can’t stand it.” “No child should have to endure what Erik and Lyle did,” she continued. “No children should have to live in fear day by day that their dad would come and rape them.” “Thirty-five years is a long time,” Baralt, 85, agreed, saying she would like to “hug them and see them.” Geragos said the Menendez brothers’ hearing, initially scheduled for December 11, has been pushed back to the end of January. “We’re hoping that by the end of that, or sometime sooner, that we will, in fact, get the brothers released,” the attorney added. Current Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, who was just voted out of office, recommended the resentencing, which could lead to the brothers’ release from prison. District Attorney-elect Nathan Hochman takes office on December 2. Hochman said the resentencing hearing delay would give him time to review the case and “consult with prosecutors, law enforcement, defense counsel, and victim family members.” The brothers are currently incarcerated in San Diego. Their first trial ended with two deadlocked juries. In the second, both were sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole. Not all family members believe that the Menendez brothers should be released, however. Milton Anderson, Kitty Menendez’s brother, said they should remain incarcerated.

Top aides of the failed Kamala Harris presidential campaign appeared this week on “Pod Save America,” where they discussed what went wrong, including why Harris never appeared on the most popular podcast in the world, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” after an invite. Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe shockingly suggested host Joe Rogan did not have pure intentions and was using the invite as “leverage” so now-President-elect Donald Trump would appear in the Austin-based studio. “So what’s clear is we offered to do it in Austin, people should know that,” Plouffe said. “It didn’t work out. Maybe they leveraged that to get Trump in studio, I don’t know.” Stephanie Cutter, another senior Harris campaign adviser, claimed the team just couldn’t make a date work for the extremely popular podcast. “We had discussions with Joe Rogan’s team, they were great, they wanted us to come on, we wanted to come on, we tried to get a date to make it work and, ultimately, we just weren’t able to find a date. We did go to Houston and she gave a great speech at an amazing event,” Cutter said, according to Fox News. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “We were hoping to fit it in around that but ultimately weren’t able to do it,” she continued. “As it turns out, that was the day that Trump was taping his Joe Rogan [appearance], which they had never confirmed to us. We just kind of figured that out in the lead-up to it. You know, she was ready, willing to go on Joe Rogan.” Despite evidence that shows Trump’s Rogan appearance helped him with younger males, Cutter insisted that keeping Harris off the podcast didn’t make a difference in the election. “It didn’t ultimately impact the outcome one way or another, but she (Harris) was willing to do whatever it takes,” Cutter said. However, Jennifer Palmieri, senior adviser to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, gave another reason for skipping the podcast. She told The Financial Times that the appearance didn’t work out “because of concerns at how the interview would be perceived within the Democratic Party.” “There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn’t want her to be on it, and how there would be a backlash,” she said. On social media platform X, politicos were not convinced by the explanations. Some pointed out that Harris decided to make time for the sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live,” which has much lower ratings than “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “Kamala Harris ‘left the battleground’ to appear on SNL… which has far fewer viewers/listeners than Joe Rogan,” one comment read. “I don’t know who is more incompetent, Kamala Harris the candidate or her campaign team that blew through more than a $1 billion and got crushed,” Steve Cortes wrote. “Her campaign is now claiming ‘Kamala didn’t have time’ to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast but they really wanted to!” “It’s the #1 podcast in the world, and they couldn’t make time,” he said.
