Matt Gaetz on Thursday announced he is withdrawing his nomination for US Attorney General after a meeting with senators.

After relentless attacks over recycled junk allegations brought by the Biden Regime’s DOJ, Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination on Thursday.

“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Matt Gaetz said.

“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” Gaetz said.

According to MSNBC, at least 5 Senate Republicans were a hard no on Gaetz:

• Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
• Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
• Susan Collins (R-ME)
• Markwayne Mullin (R-OH)
• Sen.-elect John Curtis (R-UT)

Vice President-elect JD Vance called Matt Gaetz a patriot after he withdrew his nomination.

Matt Gaetz responded to Vance and said he looks forward to continuing the fight to save our country… “Just maybe from a different post,” Gaetz said.

Thank you, Mr. VP-Elect!

I look forward to continuing the fight to save our country.

The mayor of Denver Colorado has completely lost his mind, vowing to use police and civilians to block the deportation of illegal aliens.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Democrat Mayor Mike Johnston of Denver, Colorado has declared war on President Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration policies.

Mayor Johnston has made it clear that he will go as far as using city police and local volunteers to physically prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants, including those with potential gang affiliations.

In a recent interview with Denverite, Johnston unapologetically declared his intention to turn Denver into a fortress of resistance against immigration enforcement, framing his actions as a moral crusade.

“We won’t change that, because those are one of our core values,” Johnston said, adding, “We’re not going to sell out those values to anyone. We’re not going to be bullied into changing them.”

“I think we are gonna continue to be a welcoming, open, big-hearted city that’s gonna stand by our values,” Johnston added.

Johnston’s approach, which includes using Denver’s police force and even mobilizing citizens to obstruct federal operations, has drawn comparisons to lawless sanctuary cities.

He boldly claimed that Denverites themselves would rise up to form a human barricade against federal authorities, invoking imagery of the infamous Tiananmen Square protests.

“More than us having [Denver Police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston boasted, adding, “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?” You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. And you do not want to mess with them.”

Johnston’s remarks go further, suggesting that any federal attempt to enforce immigration law in Denver would require “invading” Colorado with out-of-state National Guard units.

“I do not believe that our governor is going to let them use our [Colorado] National Guard at the state level,” he said. “Unless they were planning on bringing national guards mobilized from Texas or Alabama to come invade Colorado, I don’t know where they would find the forces to begin to do that,” the crooked mayor said.

If this is not proof positive that Democrats are fighting for open borders, what would be? If only they would fight this hard to protect struggling Americans in need. Unfortunately, Denver is estimated to have nearly ten thousand homeless on the streets. In the eyes of the left, those Americans come last.

On Thursday former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev taunted the West by posting video of Russia’s hypersonic ballistic missile attack on Ukraine.

Medvedev wrote on X: “So that’s what you wanted? You damn well got it!”

So, that’s what you wanted?
Well, you’ve damn well got it!

This hypersonic attack on Ukraine took place after several attacks on Russia this week by Ukrainian and NATO forces using US-made long-range missiles.

Joe Biden and his handlers made the shock announcement last weekend to escalate the war in Ukraine.

On Sunday, Joe Biden’s regime approved Ukraine’s use of US-made long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia.

The Washington Post reported that Biden will allow Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for strikes inside Russia, supposedly in response to North Korea’s recent aid to Russia in the form of thousands of troops. Ukraine will be specifically allowed to use the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to hit targets inside Russia.

As The Post notes, ATACMS is a supersonic-guided missile system that can be used with either cluster munitions or conventional warheads. It has a maximum range of about 190 miles.

The Post elaborates that Ukraine is expected to focus on and around the Kursk region at first but could expand its targets.

On Tuesday, Ukraine fired six US-made long-range missiles inside Russia. The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia.

According to BRICS News – Five missiles were shot down by S-400 & Pantsir AA systems, one was damaged, its fragments fell in the technical zone of a military facility, causing a fire, Russian Defense Ministry says.

Putin, following reports of Biden’s decision to give Ukraine permission to “long-range” missiles, approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation. As part of the new doctrine Russia spelled out that aggression against Russia and its allies by a non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack.

On Wednesday morning Joe Biden approved antipersonnel land mines for Ukraine – undoing his previous policy.

According to Reuters the United States expects Ukraine to use the mines in its own territory, though it has committed not to use them in areas populated with its own civilians, the official said. The Washington Post first reported the development.

The mines are designed for use against humans.  Joe Biden just authorized these horrible weapons to blow up humans in Ukraine.

Via Reuters – The United States has provided Ukraine with anti-tank mines throughout its war with Russia, but the addition of anti-personnel mines aims at blunting the advance of Russian ground troops, the official added, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Now on Thursday, Russia retaliated with hypersonic ballistic missiles into Ukraine.

Democrat Senator Bob Casey (PA) finally conceded on Thursday evening after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered all counties to stop counting illegal ballots.

Pennsylvania flipped a Senate seat red after President Trump’s landslide victory.

Trump-backed candidate Dave McCormick unseated longtime Democrat Senator Bob Casey.

However, Bob Casey refused to concede for over two weeks as Bucks County counted illegal ballots.

Bucks County broke the law by counting undated and incorrectly dated ballots in a race already won by President Trump and GOP Senator-elect Dave McCormick.

The Democrat Commissioners in Bucks County bragged about violating the law and ignoring a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling and continued to count illegal ballots last Thursday.

“We all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it,” Democrat Diane Marseglia said.

WATCH:

#BucksCounty Democrat Commissioners violate the rule of law and ignore PA Supreme Court ruling!

The RNC immediately filed two lawsuits last week to stop the counting of illegal ballots.

After the RNC took legal action, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday ruled AGAIN that undated ballots cannot be counted.

The Bucks County Board of Elections complied with Monday’s Pennsylvania Supreme Court Order and stopped counting undated and misdated ballots.

The illegal votes were removed from the County’s vote totals and that’s when Bob Casey finally conceded.

The Democrat machine in Pennsylvania could no longer cheat.

“During my time in office, I have been guided by an inscription on the Finance Building in Harrisburg: “All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor.”” Bob Casey said.

“Thank you for your trust in me for all these years, Pennsylvania. It has been the honor of my lifetime,” he said.

The Missouri RINOs are on the move. This time to make sure they have total control of the Missouri State House of Representatives. They are now in the process of undertaking a move similar to the US Republican Senators, who voted for RINO Senate Leadership, behind closed doors and in private.

In Missouri, the “behind closed doors” and away from the State Capital operation took place yesterday (on Wednesday) and it’s being orchestrated by Axiom, a campaign strategy organization, whose CEO is Jeff Roe. This move is to make sure Representative Jon Patterson, currently Missouri House Majority Floor Leader, becomes Missouri Speaker of the House.

Jeff Roe first made national prominence when he represented Ted Cruz in the 2016 election. Since then he has represented Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. He is known for his ruthless tactics to win. Regarding Jeff Roe of Axiom Strategies, President Trump has noted he would most likely not endorse candidates who use Jeff Roe on their campaigns.

A review of Patterson’s time in the Missouri House has given his home district Jackson County so much apprehension that the Jackson County Republican Central Committee has formally stated their concerns in a Resolution of “Non-Support” of Patterson as Speaker of the House.

Resolution of the Jackson County Republican Central Committee November 2024 by Joe Ho on Scribd

The Resolution against Patterson resulted from Patterson voting against several critical conservative initiatives, many designed to protect children. Also, Patterson’s did not support the Initiative Petition (IP), which would have included safeguards to changes to the Missouri constitution.

Currently, Missouri’s constitutional changes only require a simple majority of Missouri voters. This often results in Missouri’s two most populated cities, Kansas City and St. Louis (the two blue dots on the Missouri red map), controlling constitutional changes for the entire state. Important to emphasize, these two cities have some of the highest crime rates within the US and their criminals are moving into other adjoining jurisdictions. Two crime-infested cities should NOT be making constitutional changes impacting all of Missouri.

The Initiative Petition (IP) would have required a majority vote from the state house districts and would result in giving a greater representation to all Missouri citizens. The Initiative Petition (IP) would have provided another level of security to our constitution and Patterson was the only Republican State Representative to vote against IP reform.

Patterson was only one of two Republicans to vote against the Safe Act, which would have kept our children safe from irreversible transgender surgeries. To transgender a child is forever, they become sterilized, restricting them to ever being able to have their own biological families. Patterson receives donations from RightPath PAC, one of the major national entities pushing to transgender children.

Patterson has also stated that anyone refusing the Covid vaccine should not be considered for medical procedures. Many young people, especially young men, have died of complications from the Covid vaccine. Patterson is a medical doctor who openly condemned those who chose not to be injected with an experimental drug.

Thankfully, this is an alternative, Justin Sparks who is a true conservative and will work to protect our children.
