WATCH: Democrat Former Congressman Says ‘Toxic’ Party Needs to ‘Rebrand’ in Response to Trump’s Win
November 30, 2024
Former Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat, has said that his party needs to “rebrand” in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s big win.
Ryan discussed the matter while appearing on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.”
“We need a rebrand. I think you and I have been talking about this since 2016,” Ryan said. “Like, our brand is toxic in so many places and it is like, you are a Democrat? That’s the stuff we get like in Ohio.”
Ryan continued, “We need a complete reboot. We need a complete reboot with the DNC. We need a complete rebranding. We got to get back established into our values.”
“What does it mean to be a Democrat?” Ryan asked. “People want to trust us. They don’t want to go to Donald Trump. I’m telling you, the middle-of-the-road people, they’re holding their nose to vote for him but we did not give them enough, like, we are reindustrializing, we are talking about American competitiveness. We are moderate on things like natural gas in western PA which ended up being a big issue which we can’t be for natural gas replacing coal.”
Ryan asked why his party is seemingly at war with the cryptocurrency community.
“We are in a big fight with the crypto industry. What are we doing? Why are we in a fight with crypto right now? We’ve got to get back to the bread and butter policies.”
The former politician urged liberals to find common ground with figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“We have to lead with growth. The other thing that I think is really big, we can’t be for solely redistribution. We are going to tax the bad guys who are rich, which we want people to aspire to make money in America. We will tax them because they’re really bad people and we’re going to give you money,” he said.
“No, it is about growing the pie. It is about getting back to — it is the Bill Clinton campaign. It is the modern Democratic campaign. Look at the touchstone.”
Ryan represented Ohio’s 17th district from 2003 to 2013 and its 13th district from 2013 to 2023. He left Congress to run for Senate against now-Vice President-elect JD Vance in 2022.

November 30, 2024
Two people were injured in a shooting at an Arkansas mall during Black Friday holiday shopping.
Little Rock Police responded to the report of an active shooter at Park Plaza Mall at 1:44 p.m.
In a statement about the incident, Little Rock Police said an injured victim was found at the scene and transported to a local hospital. Another victim arrived at a different hospital with gunshot wounds.
The department had originally said there were three victims but later clarified on social media that there were two.
“Our officers acted swiftly to secure the scene and ensure public safety,” LRPD Police Chief Heath Helton said in a statement. “On behalf of the Little Rock Police Department, our thoughts and prayers are with the families and victims of this senseless act, and we are relieved that the victims are expected to recover and we remain committed to holding those responsible accountable.”
A suspect has not been identified at this time.
Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott, Jr. condemned the shooter in a post on social media and thanked first responders for their handling of the violent crime.

“Gun violence in any form or at any time is unacceptable. Today’s shooting at Park Plaza Mall recklessly put lives at risk. My thanks to the @LRPolice and first responders who helped protect our residents and guests,” Scott wrote in a post on X.
A Park Plaza spokesperson announced in a statement that the mall would be closed for the rest of the day.
“Our hearts go out to the individuals affected in this incident, along with their loved ones,” the statement said. “The safety and wellbeing of our guests and the community remains our top priority, and we are fully cooperating with law enforcement in their ongoing investigation. Park Plaza will be closed for the remainder of the day.”
‘STEAMY’ VIDEO: RFK Jr.’s Wife Cheryl Hines Posts Video of Him Showering to Promote ‘Make America Healthy Again’ Product Line
November 30, 2024
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s wife, television star Cheryl Hines, has posted a video of him showering to promote her “Make America Healthy Again” candles, body sprays, and creams from her company Hines + Young.
The video was posted to her Instagram account on Friday afternoon.
In the video, RFK Jr. showers behind her as Hines promotes her products and blocks most of his body with her head.

“No! You can’t take a shower, I’m doing a video!” Hines jokingly yells at Kennedy.
The video promotes the company’s Black Friday sale, offering 60 percent off the candles.
The former presidential candidate does not speak in the video.
Kennedy previously said that Hines did not support his decision to endorse President-elect Donald Trump and that he did so against her wishes.
“This is the opposite of what she would want to do,” Kennedy told TMZ. “She went along with it because she loves me and she wanted to be supportive of me, but it was not something that she ever encouraged, I would say.”
“Her trepidation about this and discomfort with this … were the dominant feelings,” said Kennedy. “She’s a lifelong Democrat and the idea of me supporting Donald Trump as president was just … something that she would have never imagined, that she never wanted in her life.”
Before Trump chose J.D. Vance as his running mate, a reporter asked Kennedy if he would take the position if offered.
“I don’t think that my marriage would survive it,” Kennedy said.

Oakland University Hosted ‘Transgiving’ For Trans Students
November 30, 2024
In yet another example of the woke mind virus infiltrating our universities, Campus Reform reports that Oakland University in Michigan held a trans event for Thanksgiving.
The university pledged to “provide a trans-affirming and sober family-holiday-style autumn meal to OU students.”
The event invitation, posted on Instagram, said “Trans and nonbinary students, our chosen family, and all who are willing/able to maintain a trans-affirming dinner table are invited to share this holiday meal and join in community before we leave for November break,”
According to Campus Reform, “The Gender and Sexuality Center has coordinated many LGBTQ-themed programming this fall. On Wednesday, November 20, the Center recognized “Transgender Day of Remembrance.”
“According to its webpage, the Center “supports the retention and graduation of LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, intersex, and asexual or otherwise non-heterosexual and non-cisgender) students through education and retention initiatives for all members of the OU community.”
This insanity is hardly limited to Oakland, as many universities are embracing this madness.
“Northern Michigan University and Yale University also recognized the event earlier this month. Yale’s event celebrated “trans joy, resilience, and community,” according to an Instagram post announcing it.”
As reported at The Gateway Pundit, many universities have embraced a woke DEI style thanksgiving one focused on colonization and supposed racism not on the good which God has given this country.
