by George McClellan, America Outloud: It’s now time for conservatives to end the ‘happy talk’ that has infected us since Trump’s stunning election victory. We must focus our efforts instead on protecting Trump’s appointees while the Radical Democrats are in disarray trying to figure out what happened to them and who to blame for their […]

Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress before withdrawing his name for consideration as attorney general, teased a potential run for Florida governor. Former Florida State Rep.

Per NBC News: Gaetz noted he has been in elected office for 14 years, having first been elected to Florida’s state House when he was 28 years old. “I’m 42 now, and I’ve got other goals in life that I’m eager to pursue — my wife and my family — and so I’m going to be fighting for President Trump,” he said. “I’m going to be doing whatever he asks of me, as I always have. But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress.” Gaetz said it seems like “a pretty poetic time to allow that great new blood to come in, to allow my district to have high-quality representation.” He also alluded to playing a continued role in Trump’s plans, without getting into specifics. “We need a leadership structure under President Trump that’s going to allow for durability of our movement and the ability to continue this great realignment of our politics, and so I’ll play a part in that,” he said. “I plan to be a big voice, but maybe not as an elected member of the government.” According to reports, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose term ends in January 2027, will not appoint Gaetz to the Sunshine State’s vacant U.S. Senate seat. “Matt Gaetz appears to tease a run for Governor of Florida,” Benny Johnson said.

Matt Gaetz teases run for Florida governor https://t.co/vx5Eiom0cQ pic.twitter.com/1bkR40PoOX — New York Post (@nypost) November 24, 2024 From the New York Post: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is term-limited from seeking re-election. Gaetz announced Thursday he was no longer a candidate to run the Justice Department, causing some Republicans to question whether he’d attempt to reclaim the House seat he was re-elected to earlier this month or seek a different position — including potentially lobbying to take over for Marco Rubio in the Senate once Rubio resigns to become Trump’s secretary of state. Gaetz resigned from the lame-duck 118th Congress immediately after Trump announced his choice of the lawmaker as AG Nov. 13, but he left the door open to taking his seat in the 119th Congress, which convenes Jan. 3. If Gaetz decides he wants to return to House, he will have to contend with an ethics probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. Gaetz has denied wrongdoing.

The National Football League (NFL) issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following multiple burglaries to league stars. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs each reported burglaries involving their homes. In a memo obtained by the Associated Press, the league said homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” “The NFL issued a security alert Wednesday about organized and skilled criminals — believed to be tied to a South American crime syndicate — who are targeting pro athletes, including recent burglaries at the homes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce,” Tom Pelissero said.

Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted. Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood. Burglars have entered through side doors, via balconies, or second-floor windows. They’ve targeted homes in secluded areas and focus on master bedrooms and closet areas. Players were warned to avoid updating any social media with check-ins or daily activities until the end of the day. Posting expensive items on social media is discouraged. Dianna Russini, senior NFL insider for The Athletic, shared the memo.

The break-ins happened just before and the day of Kansas City’s 26-13 home victory over the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 7, where Kelce’s superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift watched from the stands. No injuries were reported in either case.
