Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville absolutely unloaded on his party after the news broke that Republicans had managed to retain control of a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, securing a trifecta in the 2024 general election. In a video made for broadcast at Politicon, Carville told Democrats that they needed to account for their failures in 2024 — and explain to constituents and donors what they would do differently going forward — if they wanted to be taken seriously.

So when you’re out of power, you’re an opposition party,” Carville explained. “Then go and tell all the people that are sending you and asking you for money, justify what you did. Justify what you did wrong, and tell us what you’re going to do different.” “What you’ve done ain’t worth a s**t. Get your head around that. And all of the Washington-based Democrats farting around, going to wine and cheese parties, and talking about how misogynistic the race is — get your a** out of Washington, and go work on a 2026 campaign and do penance to make up for your godd*** arrogance and stupidity,” Carville continued. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “We’re going to say we told you so. We told you this identity s*** was disaster. We told you to get out in front of public safety issues. You didn’t,” he added, arguing that Democrats had been stupid to embrace the “Defund the Police” crowd. Blasting his party for repeatedly failing to address the very real public safety concerns of the people, Carville complained that far too many had gotten sucked into identity politics and what he referred to as a “stupid Godd*** identitarian mission.” He concluded by labeling the Democratic Party’s current phase of development as “the entire era of Jacka**ery.”

President-elect Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) will be his national security advisor after he is sworn into office in January. “I am honored to announce that Congressman Mike Waltz (R-FL) is hereby appointed to serve in my Cabinet as my National Security Advisor,” Trump said in a statement. “Mike is the first Green Beret to have been elected to Congress, and previously served in the White House and Pentagon.” Trump noted how Waltz’s 27 years in the military – where he was awarded four Bronze Stars, including two for valor – prepared him for the role. “Mike retired as a Colonel, and is a nationally recognized leader in National Security, a bestselling author, and an expert on the threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and global terrorism,” Trump said. “Mike has been a strong champion of my America First Foreign Policy agenda, and will be a tremendous champion of our pursuit of Peace through Strength!” Waltz currently serves as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He graduated with honors from the Virginia Military Institute. Waltz was deployed around the world while in the Special Forces, including Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Africa. The Wall Street Journal first reported Trump’s decision to appoint Waltz to the position on Monday night. A source familiar with the matter confirmed the report to The Daily Wire. National security advisor is a role that is highly influential in any administration as it is responsible for briefing the president on national security matters, coordinating between national security agencies, and executing the president’s agenda. The role does not require Senate confirmation. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Waltz is a well-known China hawk and should be a champion for a peace-through-strength approach to U.S. foreign policy. During an interview on Fox News this week, the first thing that Waltz mentioned was getting the American hostages back from Hamas. “First and foremost, in my mind, Maria, is that we still have … seven American citizens being held hostage in the tunnels of Gaza. By the time of inauguration day, they will have been held longer than the Iranians held our hostages in 1979,” he said. “Think about that. I mean, what a what a failure for them, of this Biden and Harris administration’s appeasement, concessions-based approach towards Iran.” “President Trump knows that if Iran is bankrupt, then they can’t send money out to all of their terrorist proxies, much less launch missiles at our great ally, Israel,” he continued. “And no president has done more for Israel than Donald J. Trump, from recognizing the Golan Heights to moving our embassy to literally just four years ago, we had peace deals being signed on the White House lawn.”

Spoiler warning: This story contains spoilers for Season 5 Episode 9 of “Yellowstone.” Actor Kevin Costner has weighed in on the fate of his character in the popular drama “Yellowstone” after the premiere of season 5, part 2 on Sunday night. The writers killed off Costner’s character, John Dutton, in a death that’s indicated to be a suicide but could have been a setup that covered up a murder. The 69-year-old actor said in an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program” on Monday that he had no idea how the writers would handle his exit. “I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” Costner said. “That’s a swear to God moment. I swear to God. I mean, I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ I’m not in this season.” The actor had already discussed being done with “Yellowstone” after filming the first half of season 5. “I didn’t see it,” he said of the latest episode. “I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it,” Costner added.  Smerconish said that Dutton didn’t seem like “a suicide kind of guy,” prompting the actor to discuss the writers, saying, “Well, they’re pretty smart people. Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.” Costner said he had previously discussed “endings” for the character but did not talk about the idea of suicide. Ultimately, he said how writers handled Dutton’s death was “their business,” per Variety. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Many fans were furious over the popular character’s departure from the show, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “John Dutton deserved to go out like a gladiator, not a victim. Completely undoes the series. I’m not a fan at all how #Yellowstone handled Costner’s departure,” one person wrote. “John Dutton was a fantastic character, and despite the Kevin Costner drama, he deserved a better goodbye than Yellowstone gave him,” a second fan agreed. The actor cited scheduling conflicts as his main reason for leaving “Yellowstone.” Costner devoted a lot of time to his Western movie series, “Horizon,” which has so far gotten mixed reviews from critics and fans.  The actor previously said he was open to returning to “Yellowstone.” 

Liberal women are vowing to go on a sex strike in protest of President Donald Trump’s 2024 election-night win. The trend is inspired by the feminists in South Korea who started a movement called “4B” which rejects traditional gender roles and “the patriarchy”. The “4” represents no sex, no dating, no childbirth and no marriage while the “B” represents a negative as “bi” is a prefix for negative words in South Korea. American liberal women are announcing on social media that they’re joining the movement with the intention to punish men for “voting against women’s rights.” Translated: liberal women are throwing a temper tantrum because the majority of Americans agree with commonsense restrictions on abortion opposed to allowing abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason under the sun. Ironically, liberal women who have largely rejected abstinence as an option to prevent pregnancy are now admitting it works. X user @solitasims posts, “ladies, I’m being so fr when I say this, it’s time to close off your wombs to males. this election proves now more than ever that they hate us & hate us proudly. do not reward them.”  ladies, I’m being so fr when I say this, it’s time to close off your wombs to males. this election proves now more than ever that they hate us & hate us proudly. do not reward them. — solita (@solitasims) November 6, 2024 She goes on to say, “I am very much a radical feminist, I just don’t talk about it much. But I am literally so serious. Guard your womb, SERIOUSLY. IF you choose to be with a male, make sure he actually values and respects you at a human f***** being. This is ridiculous.” The inauguration is over two months away and somehow there seems to be a “President Trump effect” that is making America more wholesome already. It seems far-fetched that a radical feminist would be encouraging women to guard their wombs and wait for a man who values and respects them, but that’s exactly what we’re witnessing. Who is going to tell them this has been a conservative talking point all along? In some cases within the new obsession of the 4B movement, liberal women are shaving their hair to make themselves less attractive to men. X account @libsoftiktok shared a selfie-style video of a woman cutting her own hair while telling women not to have sex with, date, or talk to men. This woman shaved her head to protest Trump’s win and to fight the patriarchy This might be the best meltdown yet ? pic.twitter.com/9DCw0uHCRc — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 6, 2024 Regardless of the reason causing women to pursue abstinence to prevent pregnancy, the pro-life movement considers this a win. It proves what we’ve been saying all along; women have always had control over their bodies. Women have always been able to abstain from casual sex. In fact, it would be real misogyny to suggest women are incapable of being responsible and accountable for their own consensual decisions. If women elect to abstain from casual sex with men who don’t value them, unplanned pregnancies will be prevented. If there are less unplanned pregnancies, there will be less women seeking abortions. There is no scenario where this is a negative, unless you happen to be Planned Parenthood or any other part of the $2 billion abortion industry. It must be difficult witnessing their clients and biggest supporters commit themselves to abstinence.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Christine Yeargin (@christineyeargin) As ironic and full circle as this moment is, it shines a light on the lies and manipulation of the pro-abortion Harris/Walz campaign and one of the democrats largest donors, Planned Parenthood. When President Biden was still the Democratic nominee, Planned Parenthood pledged to spend $40 million to bolster Biden and leading congressional Democrats according to a statement shared with The Associated Press. Tens of millions of dollars behind corrupt politicians are intentionally manipulating women to think their lives are at risk with any sort of abortion restriction on the books. That number increases to hundreds of millions if you include the pro-abortion referendums across the country this election cycle. There have been political speeches, news headlines, social media posts and more fearmongering women to believe it is illegal to get miscarriage care. The new 4B movement posts are full of the same reiterated falsehoods and misinformation. It is worth noting there is no state in the country, including those that have restrictions on abortion, which bans miscarriage care or ectopic pregnancy treatment and there are no states that don’t have an exception for the life of the mother. Legislation for each state is very clear on this. It is also worth noting that there have been no women killed by abortion bans, despite pro-abortion, legacy media headlines. Of the fatal cases we’ve seen highlighted in headlines, the cause of death has been a direct result of abortion or medical malpractice. If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz cared about women, they wouldn’t have repeatedly lied on the issue of abortion, instilling fear among women across the country. If they hadn’t campaigned on abortion lies and simply told the truth, we likely wouldn’t be seeing as many women shaving their hair off and screaming obscenities in the middle of a mental break on social media. However entertaining and ironic these videos have been to many over the past few days, no one deserves to live in politically manufactured fear. Women deserve to know the truth. America deserves to know the truth. * * * Christine Yeargin is the host of Speak Out with Christine Yeargin, a podcast encouraging others to boldly defend their values, the founder of a social media movement that supports vulnerable women in unplanned pregnancies, a public speaker, and a homeschool mom.

President-elect Donald Trump announced former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as his pick for the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. In a statement, Trump called Huckabee a “great public servant” and pointed to his record of friendship with Israelis.  “He loves Israel, and the people of Israel, and likewise, the people of Israel love him,” Trump wrote. “Mike will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East!” Huckabee, a Southern Baptist pastor, has been a strong supporter of Israel, having been to the Jewish state more than 100 times, making his first visit over 50 years ago. In a podcast episode for the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, Huckabee spoke of the importance of the fellowship of faith between Christians and Jews.  “This is a biblical mandate, and we need to stand on it and recognize that we should never ever allow the Jewish people to feel that they’re alone again,” he said.  Huckabee has been an even stronger defender of Israel following Hamas’s October 7 massacre, raping, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians. “The worst level of evil that exists on our planet today we saw on October 7th,” Huckabee said in the podcast. “For anyone to march in the streets whether it’s America or Europe and to show support for this uncivilized and savage behavior to me is a mark of darkness in our world.” Huckabee visited Kibbutz Kfar Aza — one of the hardest hit by terrorists — in December. At the site of the carnage, he declared “if we don’t stand with Israel, we stand for chaos,” reported the Times of Israel. During the visit Huckbee pointed out he was used to seeing destroyed communities from the tornadoes in Arkansas but said seeing destruction done by human beings is a whole different story. “As governor, I walked through scores of communities that had been hit by tornadoes, ripped apart and leveled to the ground,” he recalled, with artillery and machine gun fire sounds in the distance at the front lines. “And I was used to seeing that kind of destruction, but that’s because a weather system hit and hurt. What I’m seeing here happened because people who claimed to be human beings acted like something other than human beings and did evil.” “I thought that we need, as Americans, to say with conviction to our Jewish friends in Israel: we stand with you,” he continued. “What you’ve been through is a level of savagery that no human being should experience. And [we need] to say boldly to the people in the US who are parading in the streets, completely misunderstanding what this is about, that there is no moral equivalency.” Huckabee has been a strong supporter of Israel’s claim to Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank, once arguing that Israel’s historical connection to the region, spanning thousands of years, is even stronger than America’s 400-year connection to Manhattan. “If I came and said, we need to end our occupation of Manhattan, I’m pretty sure that most Americans would find that laughable,” he said. “The Israelis have a strong connection to Judea and Samaria.” In a 2017 interview with CNN, Huckabee rejected the term “settlements” pointing out that the areas in dispute are communities, neighborhoods, and cities. He added that there is no such thing as “West Bank,” instead opting to use the historical term “Judea and Samaria.”

Reports that President-elect Donald Trump will name South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as the new head of his Department of Homeland Security surprised some — she’s the governor of a northern state, taking the helm of an agency with an immediate mandate to secure the southern border. But Noem, who served as South Dakota’s at-large Congresswoman from 2010 to 2018 before being elected as the state’s governor, has a record of supporting key border security measures while in Congress and took bold stances on immigration as governor. The Republican was the first governor to send her state’s National Guard personnel to the southern border amid a drastic surge in illegal immigration into Texas under the Biden-Harris administration. Noem was among the Republican governors who traveled to Texas to support Governor Greg Abbott as he defied the federal government and took control of a park along the Rio Grande that had become a major illegal alien crossing point. She offered to personally deliver more razor wire to Abbott during his spat with the Biden-Harris administration after the administration removed wire that the Texas National Guard placed on the border to deter illegal crossings. Noem also said that South Dakota would refuse any attempts by the Biden-Harris administration to resettle illegal aliens within the state. “South Dakota won’t be taking any illegal immigrants that the Biden Administration wants to relocate,” Noem said in one April 2021 tweet. “My message to illegal immigrants… call me when you’re an American.” The Republican also supported key border security measures during her time in Congress before taking office as South Dakota’s governor. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization that advocates for border security and a reduction in total immigration levels into the United States, gave Noem a nearly perfect score for her votes on immigration-related bills while in Congress. Noem voted no, for example, on one 2018 amnesty proposal, helping kill a bill that would have granted amnesty to as many as 1.8 million illegal aliens and, according to Heritage Action, would have encouraged “future unlawful immigration into the United States.” She also blasted Biden for remaking the country through immigration, making an apparent reference to the Middle Eastern migrant crisis that Europe has endured. “He’s remaking this country—We will be Europe within a year or two if we allow President Biden to continue this invasion of our country.” She also supported Trump’s January 2017 executive order barring refugees from countries where support for terrorism was common. “I share the President’s concerns about our ability to screen refugees—especially those from terrorist hotbed areas,” Noem explained. “I support putting a temporary pause on accepting refugees from terrorist-held areas—at least until the administration can certify that asylum-seekers do not present a safety threat to the U.S.” Trump is yet to confirm that Noem will take the helm at the agency. It was reported this morning by the Wall Street Journal that she would be the pick.

Several of the hosts of ABC’s “The View” argued on Tuesday that Americans should consider cutting family members and friends out of their traditional holiday get-togethers if they voted for President-elect Donald Trump. Stating that it was a “moral issue,” Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg pushed the idea during the midday broadcast. The pair suggested that those people deserved to be cut out because they had voted against people they claimed to love — and Goldberg worried that they might say offensive things to any gay children who might be present. Sara Haines kicked off the discussion, and she was opposed to the idea. “Whatever your reason is, I would never let my politics be the reason I don’t show up to see my family because they want me to be there,” she said. “I’m gonna disagree,” Hostin said. “I completely understand her point because I really do feel that this candidate, you know, President-elect Trump is just a different type of candidate. From the things he’s said and the things he’s done, and the things he will do, it’s more of a moral issue for me, and I think it’s more of a moral issue for other people.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Hostin went on to claim that she would have felt differently about former President George W. Bush — who was also referred to by many on the left as “Hitler” on a regular basis — because she didn’t feel like he was as “deeply flawed” as Trump. “Deeply flawed by character, deeply flawed in morality,” Hostin continued. “I think when people feel that someone voted not only against their families but against them, and against people that they love, I think it’s okay to take a beat. WATCH; Whoopi also suggests people shouldn't visit Trump-voting family for the holidays because they're going to lash out and attack their gay children.She also seemed the suggest the same thing for racially "mixed families." pic.twitter.com/h3l2rVQi39 — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) November 12, 2024 “I appreciate the voters, but I will say, somebody who tells me that my child is wrong because of how he or she feels, that tells me that they shouldn’t be allowed to be who they are with my permission, I have to question it,” Goldberg added. “I don’t want to put my kid in that position. I don’t want to put my gay child in a position where she has to sit with someone who doesn’t understand her and feels like it’s okay to just blurt all of that out. That’s just me.” “With mixed families I feel the same way,” she added. “There are certain things where you don’t have to put your family in the middle of it. You can have dinner at another point but it might not be the time to gather because you know there’s gonna be some tension … but I’m not tense, my daughter’s not gay.” Goldberg explained that she’d had to clear that last bit up, so she didn’t get a call from her daughter about it.

President Joe Biden faced blowback on Tuesday for his response to a journalist asking about an Israeli hostage deal with Hamas more than a year after the group’s October 7 terrorist attacks. The bizarre exchange took place in the White House as Biden, 81, met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. “President Biden, do you think we can get a hostage deal by the end of your term?” asked Neria Kraus, a reporter for Israel’s Channel 13. Biden’s reply was somewhat muddled. According to Kraus, he said: “Do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?” I asked President Biden if he thinks that he can get a hostage deal done by the end of his term. He answered, commenting on the number of cameramen in the room: “do you think that you can get hit in the head by the camera behind you?” pic.twitter.com/B3DCJoHdaw — Neria Kraus (@NeriaKraus) November 12, 2024 The White House, which has faced controversy for altering a transcript of Biden’s infamous “garbage” insult against supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, offered a slightly different version. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a — a camera behind you?” Biden said in reply, according to the White House transcript. QUESTION: President Biden, do you think we can get a hostage deal by the end of your term? PRESIDENT BIDEN:  Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a — a camera behind you? pic.twitter.com/JjD0pSIVJW — Matt Viser (@mviser) November 12, 2024 After the exchange, Biden began delivering remarks, declaring that his commitment to Israel is “ironclad” and introducing Herzog. Kraus shared video of their exchange on X, noting Biden was commenting on “the number of cameramen in the room.” The clip quickly went viral, with many users — including journalists — describing Biden’s remark as odd, rude, or just plain combative. “Huh? weird,” said PunchBowl News co-founder Jake Sherman. “Biden unburdened by what has been,” quipped The Washington Examiner’s Christian Datoc. “What a complete a**,” said Fox News host Lawrence Jones. “Seems aggressive,” observed journalist Salina Zito. “This man has jello for brains and was still a better candidate than Kamala,” said commentator Dave Rubin. The exchange happened one week after Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Biden had been running for a second term but dropped out in July after a fumbling debate performance against Trump while facing pressure from allies who raised concerns about his age, mental acuity, and electability. In his remarks that followed Biden’s introduction, Herzog noted there were still 101 hostages in Gaza and emphasized that bringing them home is a priority — a stance with which the U.S. president said he agreed.

The House Oversight Committee announced Tuesday that FEMA Commissioner Deanne Criswell will testify next week on guidance from a government employee who ordered relief workers in Florida to skip homes displaying signs or flags supporting President-elect Donald Trump.  Lawmakers will question Criswell about guidance, first reported by The Daily Wire, from since-fired FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington for relief workers in Lake Placid to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Criswell last week requesting that she appear before the committee to discuss the guidance and its handling of recent hurricanes.  “FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell will be testifying before our committee next Tuesday. We look forward to hearing what she has to say about these allegations and more,” the House Oversight Committee posted on X.    ? BREAKING: FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell will be testifying before our committee next Tuesday. We look forward to hearing what she has to say about these allegations and more. https://t.co/mMv6yMzbf2 — Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) November 12, 2024 Comer indicated that the committee would ask Criswell about Washington’s Tuesday interview with Roland Martin, where she claimed FEMA has a widespread policy of avoiding “politically hostile” homes. She said that FEMA’s suggestion that she made an independent decision to avoid certain homes is a mischaracterization, stating that it is agency policy. “FEMA always preaches avoidance first and then de-escalation, so this is not isolated,” Washington said. “This is a colossal event of avoidance not just in the state of Florida, but you will find avoidance in the Carolinas.” “Senior leadership will lie to you and tell you that they do not know,” Washington added.  READ MORE: FEMA Official Ordered Relief Workers To Skip Houses With Trump Signs Multiple government employees from the relief team told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes were skipped because of the guidance. The employees said this guidance was given both verbally, as well as in a group chat used by the relief team and viewed by The Daily Wire.  Comer wrote Criswell on Saturday demanding that she appear for a hearing in Washington, D.C., on November 19 at 2:00 p.m.  “This hearing will address FEMA’s response to recent major natural disasters, including Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and permit members to investigate recent reports that a FEMA official instructed relief workers to bypass hurricane-impacted homes displaying campaign signs for President Trump,” Comer wrote.  Federal and state investigations have been launched into FEMA to probe its policies for providing aid. FEMA has not responded to allegations from Washington, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
