Continuing their not-so-veiled attempt at over-compensating in favor of Palestinians, CBS used Thursday’s CBS Evening News and Friday’s CBS Mornings to kvetch about President-Elect Trump selecting former Arkansas Governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee as his choice for U.S. Ambassador to Israel.
Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense has spoken out against claims that his tattoos are symbols of white supremacy, calling the criticism “anti-Christian bigotry.”
Pete Hegseth, a longtime Fox News host and war veteran, sports a large Jerusalem Cross on his chest and the Latin inscription Deus Vult, which translates to “God wills it.”
During a discussion on the necessity of the Senate’s role in advising and consenting to cabinet appointees on MSNBC’s Friday edition of The Beat with Ari Melber, activist and lawyer Maya Wiley took a bit of a detour to attack Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth for allegedly having “white supremacist and extremist tattoos.”
This weekend, Atticus Sparks plans to attend a six-hour concealed weapons permit class. He’s not a gun person, but as an 18-year-old trans man, he’s concerned he might someday need to own one, “just in case”. Since Donald Trump’s election, Sparks has faced online threats of violence and sexual assault from the president-elect’s supporters.
“Hopefully I won’t ever need a gun,” Sparks, who lives in South Carolina, said. “But everyone here is so pro-gun. I work across from a gun store, and I always see people carrying around loaded rifles.”
Along with taking his concealed carry class, Sparks faces the more banal tasks of making sure all of his documentation is in order. This week, he met with an advocate about getting his name legally changed but was told that due to the sluggish pace of family court, he probably won’t get a court date until next summer.
Sadiq Khan has said the UK should treat Donald Trump like a “best mate” who sometimes needs to be corrected or challenged.
Labour’s Mayor of London, a fierce critic of the President-elect, also said Britain should extend the “hand of friendship” to Mr Trump as he prepares to return to the White House in January.
Mr Khan claimed in the High Performance podcast recorded just before the US election that Mr Trump had criticised him in the past because the Republican was “racist”.
Last week, the NFL fined San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa $11,255 for displaying a “Make America Great Again” hat when he crashed the postgame, on-field interview of teammate Brock Purdy after their Oct. 27 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
This isn’t the first time that the NFL has fined a league employee for making a right-wing political statement. In 2022, Washington Commanders Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio was fined $100,000 because he referred to the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6 as a “dustup.” Jan. 6 may not have been a “dustup,” but should an employee be fined $100,000 because he mischaracterized it as such? Is there no freedom of speech left in the NFL?
In the wake of President Trump’s smashing victory over Kamala Harris, we’ve seen countless leftist meltdowns, many of which were comedic gold; but they’ve also erupted in spiteful hostility, and even murder.
First up, white “liberal writer” Andrea Tate of Huffington Post, who penned an essay for the outlet in which she detailed her growing resentment for her husband… all because he voted for Trump, then had the audacity to make a social media post that read, “God Bless America. God bless #45, 47.” The horror.
The embattled Editor-in-Chief of Scientific American is leaving her role after her anti-Trump social media posts gained national attention.
… But now all that seemed as if it was just the beginning of a new wave of male conservatism that was infiltrating our school. Obsession with achieving a more muscular body through excessive exercise and intense dieting fueled by ridiculous social media campaigns fell far outside the realm of healthy self-care. And the desire to socialize only with other boys stood in stark contrast to the co-ed activities we were accustomed to since childhood.
From the Guardian of course.
When my two young sons woke up the day after Trump decisively won re-election, my wife and I delivered the news: The candidate we voted for the day before— Kamala Harris—had lost.
My older son, 6, immediately asked us: “What was the final score?”—he had recently experienced the Yankees’ defeat by the Dodgers, so he was no stranger to a hard loss.

The reality that Donald Trump will be the next US president is finally sinking in. And no group has lost their minds over this quite like liberal women – some of whom are, quite literally, fearing for their lives and freedoms right now.
Want to see what market failure looks like? Don’t worry — the Left keeps trying to show us, and we may finally have woken up to it. IYKWIM, AITYD.
Rachel Zegler, the star of Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White remake, has a message for the 75.6 million Americans who voted for President-elect Donald Trump this year: may you “never know peace.”
A California teacher reportedly stormed out of her classroom after seeing a student wear a Make America Great Again shirt last week.
The unidentified Spanish teacher at Cerritos High School later sent students a lengthy email in which she argued that MAGA clothes are ‘meant to intimidate both students and teachers’ and called president-elect Donald Trump a ‘fascist.’
Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump criticised him in the past because the US president-elect is “racist”.
Mr Khan, the Mayor of London, said that, had he been white, Mr Trump – who won the US election earlier this month – would not have “come for me”.
And he repeated his accusation that Mr Trump’s policies were “sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist”.
