President Joe Biden spoke in the Amazon forest and bragged about his six-fold climate funding increase. 

President Joe Biden has now authorized Ukraine to utilize American-supplied long range missiles to strike inside of Russia, which has been a red line for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

His name is Nicholas De Santo. So far, his head is intact.

On November 5, 2024, a gigantic red wave engulfed America, elevating everything politically red to great heights and largely obliterating everything politically blue in its path. It’s been only a week since the presidential election, but let’s ask the following questions anyway: WHAT DID RED GAIN? The White House — Oval Office. The U.S. Senate.

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with him privately at his Mar-a-Lago estate in southern Florida, calling the discussion “extremely cordial.” Trump told Fox News that he met with the MSNBC hosts on Friday morning after Scarborough and Brzezinski had requested to talk with him. The “Morning Joe” anchors told viewers on their show Monday morning the meeting was their first face-to-face discussion with Trump in seven years, saying that they agreed with Trump “to restart communications.” Trump said the leftist hosts “congratulated me on running a ‘great and flawless campaign, one for the history books,’ which I really believe it was, but it was also a campaign where I worked long and hard — perhaps longer and harder than any presidential candidate in history.” “We talked about various Cabinet members — both announced and to be announced. As expected, they like some very much, but not all,” Trump added. “The meeting ended in a very positive manner, and we agreed to speak in the future.” Brzezinski said that Trump appeared “cheerful,” “upbeat,” and “interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues.” She added that she and her co-host, who is also her husband, continue to hold “deep concerns” about a second Trump administration but acknowledged that nearly 80 million Americans made their voices heard about the issues that matter most to them and sent Trump back to the White House. Joe and Mika went to Mar a Lago to talk with Trump over the weekend.

CNN contributor Scott Jennings wrote, “Hitler getting a lot more meeting requests than I would’ve thought.” Trump told Fox News that he has “an obligation to the American public, and to our country itself, to be open and available to the press,” but warned that “if [he’s] not treated fairly … that will end.” “The media is very important to the long-term success of the United States of America,” he added. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The president-elect said many news outlets are reaching out to him and said he is willing to give second and third chances to media voices that have treated him poorly. “And while many others are calling for meetings, I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,” Trump said. “I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth chance — that is where I hold the line.”

The following is an edited transcript of a recent interview between Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley and Harmeet Dhillon, managing partner at The Dhillon Law Group. Post-election polling shows that the transgender issue was a top three issue that drove voters to Trump and away from Harris. The data comes as more states are shutting down transgender procedures for minors and lawsuits are beginning to mount against healthcare professionals who’ve pushed the trans agenda. * * * JOHN: Joining us to discuss is Harmeet Dhillon, whose legal firm the Dhillon Law Group has been leading the fight against potentially permanent procedures performed on children. Harmeet, thanks for coming on. HARMEET: Thanks for having me. JOHN: First, many have said that the trans agenda – including boys in girls sport and trans surgeries for prisoners and illegal immigrants – was a “sleeper issue” this year. We’ve done some reporting at Daily Wire about this. Do you see data that it did in fact impact this election? HARMEET: Well, I would say the data that I saw was from the Trump campaign and its allies, and they certainly focused hard on that issue. And I’m sure that was in response to data. We’ve done some work, a lot of work actually. We’ve been a national leader on the issue of suing doctors who mutilate girls and also representing parents whose civil rights are violated by not having access to the information they need to parent their children properly on this issue and many other issues. So we’ve done a lot of litigation on it. It did pick up in the national pulse. Our client, Chloe Cole, has been prominently featured by some messaging on these issues. She’s a girl who detransitioned, now a young woman, and is suing Kaiser Permanente here in California over that. She’s been a landmark voice on these issues, testifying around the country. I know it has motivated legislatures to change the law and that I think is definitely a talking point in those states. A lot of red states, purple states — it’s a huge issue. It’s not a huge issue here in California, even on the opposite side. I don’t see a lot of activists going to bat for this issue. And so I think we are really within a striking distance of President Trump being able to severely cut back on the prevalence of this issue through cutting back federal funding or other ways to do it. For once, America needs to catch up with Europe and the rest of the world where these procedures are simply not being done, for the most part, on children because they don’t work.

Are you seeing progress on this issue in the courts, legally? HARMEET: No, it’s too early in the courts. We literally filed the first, second, and third lawsuits on this issue in the country. I think other lawyers are joining us and so these cases are winding their way through the court system or through arbitration because Kaiser tries to force people into arbitration – so do other medical providers. And one of the issues, why there are so few cases, is because there’s a statute of limitations that are very short and really keep the window very narrow for these young women, largely women, to file lawsuits. And so it’s heartbreaking, the number of people we simply can’t help, because of these statute of limitations issues. I do think that’s going to make a difference. But the bigger and faster and more effective long-term difference is going to be legislatures banning these procedures on children. Medical boards taking away the licenses of doctors who commit medical malpractice, which I believe most of these doctors are doing. I mean, literally you have cases where people go in, some guidance counselor sends them for one session with some rubber stamper who then goes and gets the girl’s breasts cut off. It’s shocking and outrageous. You have to go through more hassle to get liposuction, I believe, than to get your breasts cut off as a young girl. So, it’s insane and it needs to stop. We shouldn’t rely on the courts and lawyers. We should ask Republican legislatures — and Democrat legislatures, frankly, if they care about humans — to stop this practice. JOHN: Well, we’ve seen decisive action here in Tennessee to shut down these potentially permanent procedures for children – that’s been really heartening for those working to end it. We’ll see what other states follow suit. Harmeet Dhillon, thank you so much for joining us. * * * WATCH: Matt Walsh’s groundbreaking documentary “What Is A Woman?”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he told President Joe Biden that Israel was prepared to stand alone after Biden threatened to abandon the Jewish state if it invaded Rafah, according to Israeli outlet Channel 14.  “Biden called me and said: Prime Minister Netanyahu — you will be left alone,” Netanyahu reportedly said during a secret meeting with government officials.  In response, Netanyahu reportedly told Biden, “We will do it alone.” Netanyahu added that two days later, Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Israel and reportedly told him that Israel would not get more U.S. weapons if it invaded Rafah.  “We will fight with our hands and nails,” Netanyahu said he responded.  “The Americans estimated that 20,000 people would be killed in Rafah, it turned out to be a total disaster,” he added. Despite Vice President Kamala Harris and Biden warning against invading Rafah, Israel’s incursion has been a strategic success, with numerous Hamas members eliminated, including former leader Yahya Sinwar last month.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his election victory earlier this month, calling it “history’s greatest comeback.” “Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!” Dear Donald and Melania Trump, Congratulations on history’s greatest comeback! Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America. This is a huge victory!

Mike Huckabee as his pick for the U.S. ambassador to Israel and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as secretary of state. In a cabinet meeting on Monday, Netanyahu reportedly said Israel’s ability to interfere with Iran’s nuclear program “will be reevaluated” with the incoming Trump administration, reported the Times of Israel.
