John Fetterman May Vote to Confirm Trump Pick, Who Is His Former Rival: Liberals Are Furious
November 20, 2024
The different drum to which Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania marches is beating out a tune that liberals hate to hear.
Fetterman’s reaction was sought after President-elect Donald Trump said he would nominate Dr. Mehmet Oz, whom Fetterman defeated in a bruising 2002 U.S. Senate race, to become administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The post requires Senate confirmation.
“If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude,” Fetterman said in a post on X.

“Do you think he’s my first choice?” he said, according to the Independent. “Do you think Trump is my first one? But it’s like, yeah, here we are.”
A CNN reporter posted Fetterman’s elaboration on his post.
“I’m going to be very, very clear if Dr. Oz agrees to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m absolutely going to vote for the dude,” Fetterman was quoted as saying.
“That’s the most important thing for me. Our politics are obviously different, and we do have a history, but I don’t have any bitterness. I don’t hold anything against him. As long as he’s willing to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m voting for the dude,” he said.
But Fetterman’s attitude earned him the disdain of many liberals who poured out their invective online.
“You’re such a disappointment man,” a poster called Merrick wrote on X, including a 2022 post from Fetterman that was highly critical of Oz.
Let me get this straight. Your condition of voting in favor of his approval is he gives you his word? I’m laughing. You are aware this is Dr. Oz, right?
Trump touted Oz as a man who could cut waste, according to The Hill.
“Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country,” Trump said in a statement.
“He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget,” he added.
Woke Anti-Trump Mayor Tries for HUD Cabinet Post
November 20, 2024
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, best known for his controversial change in party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, is vying for a spot in President-Elect Donald Trump’s cabinet, according to sources close to the administration.
According to sources, Mayor Johnson is interested in leading the Department of Housing and Urban Development, a position held by Dr. Ben Carson during the first Trump administration.
Questions and speculation have been raised about the motives behind the Mayor’s decision to publicly announce his affiliation change, especially as the election cycle loomed. Some in Trump’s orbit have even wondered if it was an attempt to align himself with the administration early to further his political agenda and status.
Mayor Johnson not only turned Republican but also backed President-Elect Donald Trump in the March primary, even though he had adamantly opposed the former president during the 2020 election.
The mayor’s now-deleted social media posts reveal his far-left views.
During President Trump’s first term in office, Mayor Johnson vehemently opposed the President’s executive order “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States.”
In a Tweet issued on January 30, 2017, Mayor Johnson goes as far as to say that this order was a “Muslim Ban” and that “this ill-advised executive order may actually make Americans less safe by fueling dangerous xenophobic sentiments…”
The falsely labeled “Muslim ban” imposed by Trump specifically prohibited entry under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq, which were previously identified as problematic by the Obama-Biden U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
“Without a doubt, President Trump’s order to suspend the entry of certain refugees and other immigrants into the United States is an abuse of power and constitutes a most reckless immigration policy,” the screen shot shows Johnson told Abbott in the letter attached to his post.
He purportedly declared that Trump had not only “thrown the United States’ immigration system and international travel into chaos,” but it also “dismantled decades of relationship building and squandered the goodwill generated by the efforts of thousands of dedicated foreign service officers over many, many years.”
In a separate tweet on May 8, 2018, Mayor Johnson continued to bash Trump’s views on policy and praised democratic leaders such as Former President Barrack Obama.
If Mayor Johnson feels that the President-Elect is xenophobic and is out to hurt the American people, then why would he align himself with the President’s new administration?
In 2017, Mayor Johnson urged people to “stay woke” while saying that a Trump presidency is “everything we feared.”
The post included a large image with the liberal hashtag “#RESIST.”
Here We Go Again… Undercover FBI Set-Up Florida Man in Terror Plot to Bomb New York Stock Exchange Before Thanksgiving — Harun Abdul-Malik Yener Arrested in Explosive Scheme

Federal authorities arrested Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, a South Florida resident, for allegedly planning to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) capable of massive destruction outside the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
According to court documents reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Yener’s motives were rooted in a desire to “reboot” the United States government.
Yener, 30, reportedly spent months crafting a detailed plan to construct and detonate the device in one of the world’s most critical financial hubs.
His alleged target date was the week leading up to Thanksgiving 2024, a time of heavy market activity.
The FBI’s affidavit claims Yener believed the attack would “wake people up” and disrupt the U.S. government.
Investigators revealed that Yener had a history of extremist behavior, including prior threats of violence and documented attempts to join militia groups.
The affidavit reveals that Yener, born in the U.S. in 1994, began crafting his plan as early as 2017, gathering bomb-making materials and researching high-impact targets. His stated motivation? A radical vision of triggering a “reboot” of the U.S. government.
Yener, who previously sought affiliation with extremist groups, constructed the IED with assistance he believed came from a militia, though these “militia members” were, in reality, undercover FBI agents.
The investigation began when a tip led authorities to Yener’s unlocked storage unit in Coral Springs, Florida, containing bomb schematics and other alarming materials.
Surveillance and undercover operations confirmed his intent to target the NYSE, a symbol of American financial power.
He also recorded a manifesto intended for public release, warning the U.S. government to cease arms sales and implement mass deportations.
In February 2024, the FBI began investigating YENER, a South Florida resident born in the United States in 1994, after receiving a tip that YENER was storing bombmaking schematics in an unlocked storage unit in Coral Springs, Florida.
After obtaining YENER’s consent to search and a subsequent search warrant, FBI special agents found bombmaking sketches, numerous watches with timers, electronic circuit boards, and other electronics in YENER’s storage unit that could be used for constructing explosive devices.
From search warrant returns on YENER’s Google accounts, agents discovered his repeated internet searches for aspects of bombmaking since as early as 2017.
During an interview on March 1, 2024, YENER told law enforcement he had experience building “rockets” and “bombs,” and that he had previously attempted to join domestic extremist groups.
In June 2024, YENER disclosed to an FBI confidential source (“CS”) his desire to join an anti-government militia and to construct an improvised explosive device.
After meeting an FBI undercover employee, whom YENER believed to be part of a militia, YENER identified the New York Stock Exchange as the location for deploying and detonating the improvised explosive device and his target date for carrying out the bombing was the week of November 18, 2024.
His stated motivation for bombing the NYSE was to attain a “reboot” and/or “reset” of the United States government. In October and November 2024, in a law enforcement-controlled secure location that he believed to be controlled by the militia, YENER re-wired two-way radios to function as a remote trigger for the explosive device.
YENER tasked FBI undercover employees with procuring the explosive element for the device, conducting surveillance of the NYSE, and obtaining photos of the building to identify the precise location for detonating the explosive device.
YENER planned on wearing a disguise when planting the explosive device outside the NYSE and recorded a message to be delivered to the press about his reasons for the attack.
YENER anticipated the impact of the explosion would be “like a small nuke went off” and that “[a]nything outside” the building “will be wiped out” and “anything inside there would be killed.”
In a recorded conversation, he declared, “There is one place that would be hella easy…the stock exchange, that would be a great hit. Tons of people would support it. They would see it and think dude, this guy makes sense, they are [profanity] robbing us. So that’s perfect.”
Investigators also detailed his plan to disguise himself as a FedEx delivery driver to avoid detection.
According to the FBI, Yener’s ambitions extended beyond the NYSE; he reportedly discussed targeting other public locations such as stadiums, schools, and power grids.
“YENER discussed a hypothetical individual wearing a suicide vest inside a Walmart on Black Friday, inside a crowded football stadium during a football game, or in a school auditorium during a children’s Christmas play. YENER told the CS any of the aforementioned targets would be good targets because they would all be full of densely packed crowds of people, which would ensure maximum casualties,” according to the court document.
“YENER discussed how bombing a powerplant would greatly inconvenience local government and the community. YENER discussed that if one was interested in creating causalities, they might target a Walmart instead of a powerplant. YENER told the CS if one wanted to minimize civilian causalities, they could target the Walmart at night when the store is less crowded.”
Yener faces charges under federal terrorism statutes, including attempting to use an explosive device to damage property used in interstate commerce. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment.
“I Am Not Going to Let Them Trample on the Rights of Mayor Giuliani,” said Rudy Giuliani’s New Attorney Joe Cammarata. “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT” for Rudy! INTERVIEW & VIDEO!
November 20, 2024
“Today was about re-introducing the people to Rudy Giuliani…introducing them to his new legal team that will not relent. We are not going to relent!” Rudy Giuliani’s new lawyer told The Gateway Pundit after a press conference in Manhattan, New York.
Giuliani’s new attorney, Joseph Cammarata, held a press conference today in front of 787 7th Avenue in New York City. The building is home to the legal office of the firm persecuting Rudy Giuliani.
See our exclusive interview with Giuliani’s new attorney here on X:
What about justice for Rudy Giuliani?
“Rudy Giuliani definitely got screwed the hardest with that 148 million dollar judgement,” Rudy Giuliani’s new lawyer told The Gateway Pundit after a press conference in Manhattan, New York. “The penalty does not fit the allegations. It is… pic.twitter.com/VOWrrEf9Tj
Mr. Cammarata continued, “We’re standing in front of a building that employs 850 to 1000 attorneys worldwide, 8 to 10 attorneys working on his file, and I am not going to let them trample on the rights of Mayor Giuliani. My client will be well protected if this is the last thing that I do. We will not back down!”
Joseph Cammarata, along with his brother Michael, was a NYC firefighter on the morning of September 11, 2001. Although Joseph survived the day, his brother did not. During the Gateway Pundit’s interview following the press conference, Joseph shared with us what ultimately inspired him to become a lawyer. He detailed his personal connection with Rudy “America’s Mayor” Giuliani that began in the aftermath of 9/11, a day forever etched as one of the deadliest days in the storied history of this great nation.
Joseph Cammarata speaks at a press conference regarding Rudy Giuliani’s defamation case.
“So I was a 24-year old police officer on 9/11,” Cammarata explained. “My brother Michael was a 22-year old rookie firefighter, only on the job 9 weeks in Ladder Company 11. When the towers got hit my brother and I responded. Unfortunately – he didn’t make it out. I did.”
Cammarata continued:
“Rudy Giuliani was there for my family. He came to my brother’s memorial and made a commitment to my family, at that memorial, ‘if we ever need anything do not hesitate to reach out’. He shook my hand and reiterated it, ‘and I mean what I said, if there’s anything you ever need, don’t hesitate to reach out!”
The great Rudy Giuliani of New York City is sworn in as Mayor front of his son and future MAGA star, Andrew Giuliani.
Shortly thereafter in 2002, I believe was around the one year anniversary, the Little League World Series enshrined Rudy Giuliani and my brother Michael – my brother Michael, posthumously – into the Little League “Hall of Excellence”. The chief requirements are not only do you have to play Little League baseball, but you have to exhibit Courage, Character, and Loyalty – and demonstrate it at such a high level that other little leaguers and Americans would aspire to be like you…and that’s the type of person Rudy is!
So throughout the years he inspired me to become an attorney, and when I was applying to law school I said I’m going to take him to task on what he said, I’m going to see if he would give me a letter of recommendation to law school because he inspired me. He had me up to his office and he did just that! He gave me the letter.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani with President Donald Trump.
A few short weeks after, my mom passed away. I received a letter in the mail from Mayor Giuliani expressing his condolences on the loss of my mom. It was a typewritten letter where it was addressed to ‘Mr. Cammarata’ and he personalized it by crossing off ‘Mr. Cammarata’ in purple ink – the color of mourning – and wrote ‘Joe’, and expressed his condolences.
I became an attorney. He was there for the darkest time for my family, and for me, and I intend to be here for his darkest time! I call on all Americans – Democrat, Republican, no matter what your background is – to just stand up for someone who has stood up for us so many times.
He has stood up against the evils that have taken place countless times! First as US Attorney…then as the mayor of this city, then as a patriot to this country. We cannot abandon him. What’s taking place today is an INJUSTICE! That $148 million judgment is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and UNJUST, and above all – UN-AMERICAN!”
This captures the essence of “America’s Major” Rudy Giuliani in a powerful way that the mainstream media refuses to portray.
The great Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York City in the aftermath of 9/11.
There is another fun fact that the mainstream media never mentions. RUDY GIULIANI NEVER HAD HIS DAY IN COURT, although he was found liable in the DC Kangaroo Court for “Defamation” after a DC Judge awarded election workers a “default judgement” after they sued Giuliani.
Without getting too much in to the details of the case, this reporter can tell you that Giuliani was never found liable in a court of law based on the actual merits/facts of the defamation case brought against him. Rather, he was found liable because of this “default judgment” for not turning over discovery documents.
Hopefully the mainstream media present at Rudy Giuliani’s press conference will report accurately on the case moving forward.
Giuliani said he failed to produce the requested documents because his devices were seized by the FBI in 2021 as a part of a separate Justice Department investigation that was closed because they could not find any wrongdoing by Giuliani.
Ted Goodman, Giuliani’s spokesperson, said that the judge’s ruling “is a prime example of the weaponization of our justice system, where the process is the punishment. This decision should be reversed, as Mayor Giuliani is wrongly accused of not preserving electronic evidence that was seized and held by the FBI.”
INSANE.
Mr. Giuliani was never able to defend himself in court, nor was he able to present the evidence that would exonerate him. People make the assumption that Giuliani lost the defamation case in court trial, but there was never actually a trial. The plaintiffs won by “default judgement” and were awarded 148 million dollars by a kangaroo court DC jury after the Dishonorable Judge Beryl Howell, the judge presiding over Giuliani’s case, allowed this travesty to happen.
Two of the greatest politicians in modern American history.
To date, Guliani has had to turn over his only personal vehicle, a Mercedes Benz, over to the court along with his gorgeous New York City Batman like penthouse apartment that he worked his whole life for. This reporter spent time with Rudy and his family there, and cannot even wrap my head around the fact that others are now in possession of America’s Mayor’s residence. This is where he shot his podcast, and had his grandchildren visit. The leftist court also gave away his personal jewelry right off his fingers and wrists- including his treasured Yankees World Series Rings and the watches that were meant to be passed down as family heirlooms to his son, Andrew Giuliani.
This reporter wouldn’t be shocked if his Garden of Life vitamins, diet coke and ice cream in his freezer weren’t also confiscated.
Judge Beryl Howell, a smug and corrupt swamp creature, needs to be investigated for the ridiculous nonsense that she allowed to transpire within her courtroom. Rudy Giuliani needs justice, and we at the Gateway Pundit are praying Matt Gaetz becomes Attorney General and cleans up the kangaroo courts of Washington DC.
Hopefully Matt Gaetz will wipe the smug smirk off Judge Beryl Howell’s face.
After the storied election of 2024 and the fall of the Biden Regime, President Trump’s redemptive arc has come around full circle. So many others (like the J6ers that will now begin to see JUSTICE after Inauguration Day) will also finally be free. Now it is Rudy Giuliani’s turn for his redemption, and the Gateway Pundit has his back all the way.
As Joseph Cammarata so eloquently stated, “I call on all Americans – Democrat, Republican, no matter what your background is – to stand up for someone who has stood up for us so many times.”
Today you can do so by sharing and contributing to the “RUDY GIULIANI DEFENSE” GiveSendGo fundraiser that has been setup to help as he fights to save his legacy, dignity, and life’s work. At the very least, please be sure to send our nation’s “Greatest Mayor” a note of prayer, support, and encouragement to “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
And most of all, PRAY for the great comeback story of America’s greatest Mayor- Rudy Giuliani.

Rep. Massie Introduces Bill to Stop Biden from Forgiving $4.65 Billion of Debt Ukraine Owes America’s Taxpayers
November 20, 2024

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced legislation to prevent Joe Biden from forgiving Ukraine’s $4.65 billion debt to American taxpayers.
On Wednesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller announced that the Biden administration would be taking steps to cancel loans given to the Ukrainian government.
“We have taken the step that was outlined in the law to cancel those loans,” Miller said during the press briefing.
Miller noted that Congress could still block the move — and Rep. Massie was up to the challenge.
Reuters reports, “President Joe Biden has ordered officials to rush as much aid to Ukraine as possible before he leaves office on Jan. 20 amid concerns President-elect Donald Trump could limit U.S. support.”
On Wednesday evening, hours after the press briefing, Rep. Massie introduced legislation to stop the effort.
“On his way out, Joe Biden is trying to forgive $4.65 billion of debt Ukraine owes America’s taxpayers. I just introduced H.J.Res 224 to stop this ‘America Last’ policy from taking effect,” the congressman wrote in a post on X.

The resolution states that “Congress disapproves the proposal relating to the indebtedness of the Government of Ukraine submitted by the President of the United States to Congress on November 18, 2024.”
Rep. Massie told The Gateway Pundit that he may be able to force a vote on the matter.
Wednesday was the last day Congress was able to file the resolution.
Republican Senator Rand Paul has put forward a similar resolution in the Senate.
This is a breaking news story. The Gateway Pundit will be providing updates as more information becomes available.
