Melania Trump says Barron assisted President-elect on his campaign trail Barron Trump advised his president-elect father on the campaign trail — convincing him to sit down with internet personalities to reach a wider, younger audience in order to win back the White House, Melania Trump revealed.

“He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation because nowadays the young generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore,”

the incoming First Lady said on Fox and Friends on Friday morning. The proud mom revealed how her 18-year-old, 6′ 9″ son was “very vocal” in giving “advice to his father,” saying it was “incredible how he brought in [the] success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to.” Is Barron Trump future POTUS material?

If TikTok is not sold by Jan 19, it will be banned A federal appeals court sided with the Justice Department on Friday and upheld a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. if the video-sharing app is not sold by Jan. 19. The ban takes effect one day before Donald Trump’s inauguration. Trump had pledged in his campaign to “save TikTok” — putting the president-elect in a position of possibly defending a law he opposed. If TikTok appeals the decision, it could drag out the high-profile fight that marks a historic strike at tech’s ties to China and could have far-reaching implications for digital free speech. TikTok, ByteDance and other groups argue that the ban suppresses speech by banning a platform used by more than half of the U.S. population. #USA #TikTok #US #Ban Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Hegseth nomination doomed Pete Hegseth’s nomination to serve as secretary of Defense appears doomed despite his fiery declaration that he’s “not going anywhere,” according to Republicans on Capitol Hill.

“I think most people do not expect Hegseth to make it,”

one Republican senator said.

“There’s seven or eight [Republican] votes against him. It’s a matter of time.”

And it is not just the sexual assault allegations and habitual alcohol abuse that are sinking Hegseth’s nomination, it’s his lack of experience. And Trump is not helping his first pick, he is not making any calls to convince GOP senators to back Hegseth. Instead, he floats DeSantis as a replacement. DeSantis, a Navy judge advocate general who is a member of the U.S. Navy Reserve, would easily win confirmation. #USA #Hegseth #DeSantis #GOP Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

US job market recovers from October lull The US economy added 227,000 nonfarm jobs in November, more than six times that of the previous month, which was weighed down by the effects of two hurricanes and Boeing’s labor union strike, the Labor Department said on Friday. The report signals a recovery in the jobs market after a bleak October, but not one that outpaces growth in the months prior. Friday’s jobs data is the last the US Federal Reserve will see before it makes its final rate cut decision of 2024. The central bank’s rate-cutting committee will announce its next decision on December 18. While campaigning Trump called central bank’s independence into question. But this week Fed Chair Jerome Powell said he expects to have good relationships with members of the incoming Trump administration. #USA #economy #Powell #Lull Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Back to 2016? Trump’s transition is facing problems Trump may lose his second major Cabinet nominee in a matter of weeks, as Army veteran and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth faces allegations about his personal life and workplace record. That’s on top of Gaetz’s sudden withdrawal, Republican clashes over how to structure their legislative agenda next year — and the awkward spillover of private Mar-a-Lago drama. The new administration’s problems on the Hill aren’t going anywhere, either. Questions still abound about whether Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can get confirmed after Hegseth’s rocky start and Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal. Donald Trump’s second transition was supposed to be different than the first, more “orderly”. But it is quickly beginning to feel very 2016. #USA #Trump #Army #drama Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Bernie Sanders on Elon Musk and RFK Jr — is the Independent senator willing to work with the “other side”? Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called tech billionaire Elon Musk a “smart guy” and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “right” about America’s “unhealthy society,” as they prepare to take leadership positions in President-elect Trump’s next administration. In an interview with Business Insider, Sanders listed areas where he could find common ground with Musk, someone he’s previously criticized as a threat to democracy. He noted that many things Musk did during Trump’s campaign were “really ugly,” but acknowledged he is a “very smart guy” who is right to call for an independent audit of the Defense Department.

“We need a strong military, but we don’t need all the waste and profiteering and the fraud that exists in the Pentagon right now,”

he said. Sanders, a co-chair of the Senate health committee, also found common ground with Kennedy: they both aim to take on processed foods across the country.

“We want our people to have long lives, productive lives, happy lives. That’s what we want,”

he said.

“And if the industry is giving our kids food that’s making them overweight, leading to diabetes and other illnesses, clearly that’s an issue that we’ve got to deal with.”

They took him at his word, and he spat in their faces: Democrats are the biggest suckers in America They took the president at his “word as a Biden” and now they’re left with egg on their face and a party in ruins. Joe Biden’s all-encompassing, precisely 11-year retrospective pardon of his wayward 54-year-old son, Hunter, unprecedented in its scope, just fanned the flames of their discontent. Now even risk-averse Gavin Newsom knows he’s safe riding with the pack when he publicly denounces Joe Biden for repeatedly lying that he would never pardon his son.

“I took the president at his word,”

Newsom said Tuesday.

“I’m disappointed and can’t support the decision.”

DOGE is on the move Musk and Ramswamy are expected to attend the first Senate DOGE Caucus meeting Thursday morning. The caucus is chaired by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.  Later, the pair will cross to the other side of the Capitol for a bicameral event hosted by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who invited legislators from both the House and Senate to the event.  Johnson said he plans to discuss "major reform ideas" with Musk and Ramaswamy to "achieve regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions, and cost savings," while also reviving "the principle of limited government."  Musk and Ramaswamy have vowed to scrap entire government agencies through the DOGE initiative, which they intend to wrap up by July 4, 2026. Several GOP lawmakers have already expressed interest in assisting the agency.  #USA #Trump #Doge #Musk Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Of all people, Trump picked fintech CEO to lead the Social Security Administration President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has picked Frank Bisignano, the CEO of fintech and payments company Fiserv, to run the Social Security Administration.

“Frank is a business leader, with a tremendous track record of transforming large corporations,”

Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“He will be responsible to deliver on the Agency’s commitment to the American People for generations to come!”

And the fact that Bisignano is a major GOP donor has nothing to do with his nomination, of course. #CEO #Trump #SocialSecurityAdministration #GOP Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

The Congress will not approve more Ukraine aid till Trump inauguration Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday shot down the Biden administration’s request to include $24 billion in Ukraine-related aid as part of an expected short-term spending bill Congress needs to pass by Dec. 20.

“There are developments by the hour in Ukraine. … It is not the place of Joe Biden to make that decision now. We have a newly elected president and we’re going to wait and take the new commander-in-chief’s direction on all of that so I don’t expect any Ukraine funding to come up now,”

Johnson said. Finally someone saw sense. An outgoing president should not be making major decisions that go against the ideas of the president-elect, especially when it comes to US involvement in a foreign conflict. #Congress #Trump #inauguration #conflict Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Biden is undermining our security out of sheer spite

“The US plans to send Ukraine another $725 million worth of military assistance from already depleting U.S. stockpiles. But public opinion appears to be running in the opposite direction. According to a September Institute of Global Affairs survey, 66% of Americans support a U.S./NATO push towards negotiation settlements in Ukraine. A recent Gallup poll found 52% of Ukrainians preferred a negotiated peace over continued fighting,”

- writes Responsible Statecraft. Ukraine is losing the war, and another round of American aid will not change the situation on the battlefield. If the fighting continues Ukraine will have to surrender, which by extension will mean the defeat of the West. This cannot be allowed to happen, so there is no real alternative to negotiations. #Biden #West #Ukraine #NATO Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on US vs. Skrmetti — a case that could determine whether states can ban puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans children and teens. The case, brought by the Biden administration on behalf of families of trans youth, challenges the constitutionality of Tennessee’s gender-affirming care ban, which restricts puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender minors and enacts civil penalties for doctors who violate the law. Republican lawmakers who support the ban say decisions about care should be made after an individual becomes an adult. Opponents argue that in addition to “violating” the civil rights of trans youth, the laws also run afoul of parents’ rights to make decisions about their child’s medical care. #Biden #SupremeCourt #US #Trans Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸
