Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina announced that he is running to chair the National Republican Senatorial Committee that serves as the Senate GOP's campaign arm.Scott, who has been a longtime ally to President-elect Donald Trump, was rumored to be eyeing the position last month, confirming his ambitions in a statement Friday. Scott's announcement follows the GOP's Senate sweep where Republicans flipped seats in Montana, West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. "Let's do this!" Scott said in a statement. "I'm running for NRSC Chair because two years of a Republican agenda is good, but four years of success under Donald J. Trump is even better."'Tim's inspiring message, record of fundraising and vision for the party makes him the perfect partner for President Trump.'"That means the entire four years of his presidency will create low inflation, secure borders and safe streets, leading to a generation of American prosperity!" Scott continued. "With Donald J. Trump in the White House and Republicans leading the U.S. Senate, we will protect our majority in 2026 and create opportunities for all Americans." Scott, who had presidential ambitions this cycle, also received some high-profile endorsements alongside his announcement, including current NRSC chairman Sen. Steve Daines of Montana."We took back the U.S. Senate in 2024, and there is no one I trust more to protect the majority in 2026 than Tim Scott," Daines said in a statement. Scott was also backed by Republican colleagues like Senate GOP Conference Chairman John Barrasso and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. "Tim's inspiring message, record of fundraising and vision for the party makes him the perfect partner for President Trump," Barasso said. "Together, they will protect and grow the Republican majority. There's nobody better than Tim Scott." "Protecting the majority and growing the party starts with a vision and the resources to compete anywhere," Rubio said. "That is why I'm confident in Tim leading the NRSC in 2026." Like Blaze News?

When American journalist Mark Halperin told Tucker Carlson what he thinks is destined to happen following a Trump victory, Tucker was so shocked, he legitimately thought Halperin was joking. However, Halperin was being “100% serious.” Although their conversation occurred three weeks prior to Election Day, Dave Rubin shares Halperin’s warning now that Trump has been declared the victor in his race against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. “Let's say Trump wins three weeks from today. What happens? ... A lot of Democrats, maybe the majority, believe that Trump becoming president again is the worst thing that ever could happen, so how do they respond to that?” Tucker asked. “I think it will be the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings,” and “their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like,” Halperin predicted. “I think that will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals; I think it'll lead to trauma in the workplace. I think there'll be some degree of ...” he continued before Tucker cut him off. “Are you being serious?” Tucker asked, visibly shocked. “100% serious,” Halperin pledged, before finishing his thought that we’ll also see an uptick in “alcoholism” and “broken marriages.” “What?!” Tucker exclaimed. “Yeah, they think he’s the worst person possible to be president,” Halperin said, adding that many liberals will not be able to cope with “the fact that under a fair election, America chose ... Donald Trump again.” “I don't think it will be kind of a passing thing that by the inauguration will be fine. I think it will be sustained and unprecedented and hideous, and I don't think the country's ready for it,” he added. When Tucker brought up the fact that “mental health crises often manifest in violence,” Halperin agreed and predicted that there will indeed be “some violence,” from “workplace fights” and “fights at kids’ birthday parties” all the way to “protests that will turn violent.” “I think that's what's going to happen for tens of millions of people because they think that their fellow citizens supporting Trump is a sign of fundamental evil at the heart of their fellow citizens and of the nation. That's how they view it,” Halperin explained. Dave agrees with Halperin’s prediction. “Look what we have done to young people — ‘You live in a country that was founded on evil, on slavery and racism. Now a man who wants to bring all of that back using white supremacist magic, using evil language ... now he’s back, and he’s taking away women’s rights, and he’s going after those people, and he’s gonna jail these people,”’ says Dave, regurgitating the left’s phony Trump narrative. “They used all of the most evil tools, and not only did it not get them what they wanted — meaning the installation of Kamala Harris as president, who was just a cog in the machine — it now has broken the brains of millions and millions of Americans, and we better start thinking about this because we all know them,” Dave warns.

The University of Oregon official who told voters of President-elect Donald Trump "go f*** yourself" and "go jump off of a f***ing bridge" has been placed on administrative leave, the New York Post reported.“As a public university we take our duty seriously to provide an environment that welcomes diversity of thought and respect in alignment with our education mission,” a university spokesperson told the Post. “While we investigate, we are providing support for concerned students and employees, including resources for mental and emotional health.”'I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives.'As Blaze News previously reported, student newspaper the Daily Emerald said assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.The paper said Serrato told his followers — some of whom are Oregon students — "You can literally go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f***ing paying job. Do better in life. Get a f***ing education. Do something, 'cause you’re f***ing stupid."Before he made a sideways peace sign, the video rant ended with him saying, "And I hope you go jump off of a f***ing bridge." You can view video of the rant included in the Daily Emerald's story here. A photo of Serrato was viewable Thursday on his bio page on the website of the university, which is a public college; however, access to that page was denied Friday morning.A longer video of the rant begins with the following: "I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually. And so, I say this in the most disrespectful way possible: I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."The Daily Emerald said Serrato soon made his Instagram account private and declined to comment to the paper.Previous to Serrato being placed on leave, Oregon spokesperson Eric Howald told the Daily Emerald the “university is currently collecting more information about the situation" and that for now "it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights."What else do we know about Serrato?Serrato's LinkedIn profile indicates he's also a hazing prevention speaker. A month ago, Serrato reposted on his LinkedIn page a short item about himself from ForCollegeForLife — and the following excerpt appears to explain why he speaks against hazing:Leo Serrato could have never imagined he’d be delivering this message.Before August 31, 2012, his fraternity membership experience had been typical. That night, however, changed everything. One of the new members of his chapter died in an alcohol-related hazing incident. Due to his involvement, Leo was charged and sentenced to jail time, and, because of this, he made it a personal mission to work to end hazing.He vowed to his brother he would not let his death be in vain.A 2018 profile story in the Sonoma State Star student newspaper about Serrato — who had just become the new lead campus advisor for fraternity and sorority life at Sonoma State — noted that Serrato "was involved in a hazing related death while attending Fresno State in 2012, where one of his pledges died from excessive drinking caused by hazing." The Star added that Serrato pleaded "no contest to a misdemeanor charge of hazing and providing alcohol to a minor causing death in 2014. According to the Press Democrat, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Fresno County Jail, 90 days in the county’s adult offender work program, three years probation, and a $220 fine."Serrato was quoted in the story: “When I was new member educator, one of our new members passed away from a hazing related incident and it was that incident that truly inspired me and opened up my eyes to what my mission and purpose is in life and that is to educated [sic] students on hazing."Howald on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment asking whether the University of Oregon knew about the charges against Serrato when the school hired him.Serrato on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment, specifically whether he had anything to say in the wake of his reported statements about Trump voters in light of his declared "mission and purpose" in regard to educating others about hazing.Like Blaze News?

While we’re still waiting for the RTX 5090 to drop, the PC gaming business is already laying the groundwork for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 6090, which has just appeared in a trademark filing, along with several other GeForce 6000-series model names, from the RTX 6050 to the RTX 6090 Super. In fact, just about every possible permutation of Nvidia’s usual GPU model names has been filed in the entry. However, it’s important to note that this filing comes from a third-party graphics card manufacturer, rather than Nvidia itself. We’re expecting Nvidia to announce its next lineup of gaming GPUs at the CES tradeshow in January 2025, with hopefully the RTX 5090 making an appearance, as well as the RTX 5080. However, graphics card manufacturer Sinotex has jumped the gun even further, with a trademark filing for not only 15 RTX 5000 graphics card names but also several RTX 6000 GPUs.
