President-elect Donald Trump's border czar means business. Tom Homan, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and longtime hardliner on illegal immigration, has no time for Democratic politicians who are vowing to oppose Trump's efforts to deport illegals when he takes office. And, Homan told Fox News' Sean...

After two years, Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into President Donald Trump has concluded, leaving taxpayers scratching their heads. And left picking up the tab, to the tune of over $50 million. DOJ disclosures reveal Smith’s office burned through millions across three reporting periods. Each report averaged about $12 million each. And after two years of accusations, what’s to show for it? Nothing. Those cases came to nothing. Seems like a wise way to burn tens of millions of dollars, eh? DOGE can’t show up too soon. Jack Smith’s failed Trump cases cost taxpayers more than $50 millionhttps://t.co/63O03g8xPY — What Now Tim (@whatnowtim) November 26, 2024 Fox News reports: Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into Donald Trump over the last two years – which he opted to dismiss this week – have likely cost U.S. taxpayers more than $50 million, according to Department of Justice expenditure reports. Financial disclosures from the Special Counsel’s Office show that from mid-November 2022, when Smith was appointed special counsel, until March 31, 2023, his office incurred costs of about $9.25 million. A second disclosure laying out the office’s expenditures for the following six months showed the office’s spending increased to roughly $14.66 million. Meanwhile, a third expenditure report, the latest available, showed that from Oct. 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, Smith’s office spent roughly $11.84 million. These costs include both direct and indirect expenses, the latter of which is provided through various Department of Justice agencies. Expenditure figures for the months between April 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2024, have yet to be released, but the average of the three reported periods is roughly $12 million. When that estimate is added to the numbers from the three reporting periods that have been publicly reported, the amount spent by Smith’s office since he was appointed rounds to about $47.5 million. However, this estimate does not include any expenditures from Sept. 30 to date, so the total money spent is likely more than $50 million, Newsweek reported earlier this month. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in November 2022 to oversee the federal investigation into Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election, and his improper handling of sensitive classified documents. After an exhaustive, nearly two-year investigation, and other cases that saw Trump surrendering to authorities for a mugshot, Smith filed motions on Monday to dismiss the cases against the former president, citing procedural standards that preclude the prosecution of a sitting president. All this waste shows proves we need DOGE. $50 million. And Jack Smith has nothing to show for it. D.O.G.E. Can’t come soon enough. — Trish Regan (@trish_regan) November 26, 2024   It’s not like those in North Carolina could use the $50 million to repair the damage of Hurricane Helene.

President Donald Trump has nominated Stanford professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as the next NIH Director. He spoke out against the COVID-19 mandates and the unnecessary lockdowns. In his statement, President Trump highlighted Bhattacharya’s track record in health policy, promising a new era of transparency. Turns out that Bhattacharya will collaborate with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., focusing on chronic illness, research, and restoring trust in public health. It looks like Trump’s Administration is truly going to “Make America Healthy Again.” I’m so grateful to President Trump for this spectacular appointment. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is the ideal leader to restore NIH as the international template for gold-standard science and evidence-based medicine. pic.twitter.com/NakHavsblX — Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) November 27, 2024 I am honored and humbled by President @realDonaldTrump‘s nomination of me to be the next @NIH director. We will reform American scientific institutions so that they are worthy of trust again and will deploy the fruits of excellent science to make America healthy again! https://t.co/FrLmYznhfw — Jay Bhattacharya (@DrJBhattacharya) November 27, 2024 The Gateway Pundit reports: President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a staunch critic of the COVID-19 lockdown era, as the new Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

According to the press release: “I am thrilled to nominate Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, to serve as Director of the National Institutes of Health.

‘Tis the season to send more billions to Ukraine. What else are we going to do with the money? With $175 billion already pledged by the U.S. since the conflict began, President Biden now seeks more. Turns out he wants an additional $24 billion sent over. This is sparking questions about oversight and accountability. Knowing that there’s less than 2 months til the President Trump returns, is this just a rush to drain the government of more money? Just In: Joe Biden Request $24 Billion More Taxpayer Dollars for Ukraine Aid Package https://t.co/mkmbOK5Poh pic.twitter.com/x8XU6lFSMd — The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) November 27, 2024 I wonder what happened to the billions of dollars we already sent Ukraine? According to former Polish Deputy Minister Piotr Kulpa, Ukrainian authorities have allegedly siphoned off up to half of the U.S. aid money sent to their country and redirected a portion of it back to the Democratic Party through laundering schemes. Is anyone surprised? pic.twitter.com/NwSup0s3eJ — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) November 24, 2024 Now that photo of Biden and the Z man really captures the essence of true love. Feel free to print it out and make a Christmas ornament out of it. The Gateway Pundit reports: Outspoken former Polish Minister Piotr Kulpa said in an interview last week that up to half of the US aid to Ukraine was laundered by Ukrainians, and much was given to US Democrats. Up to a half of the funds that reached Kiev was stolen by Ukrainian officials, Piotr Kulpa has alleged. Maybe that’s why the Democrat lawmakers were waving Ukrainian flags on the House floor? Did anyone really not believe this was happening? Another Ukrainian diplomat tried to flee Ukraine with 68,000€, $140,000, 12kg gold, 13.8kg gold jewelry and a large number of cigarettes. Since the start of the Ukraine War with Russia the US has committed at least $175 billion in aid to Ukraine. According to Grok AI this encompasses military, economic, humanitarian, and other forms of assistance. Now Joe Biden wants to deliver another $24 billion to Ukraine as a parting gift.
