"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."

Trump's Florida golf resort has become a hot spot for those attempting to influence the next administration, and that includes Chinese spies. Local prosecutor Dave Aronberg claimed "You can be a member, you can be a guest of a member, you can be invited to a gala. We have seen Chinese spies try to get in there and my office has prosecuted a couple of them," Aronberg added.

Elon Musk made a comment that was seen as opposing previous statements he has made in favor of free speech. "There will be consequences for those who pushed foreign interference hoaxes," Musk said. "The Hammer of Justice is coming." Artist Art Candee replied with a question: "You mean you're not gonna prosecute yourself?" Pekka Kallioniemi, an expert on social media and disinformation, said, "Free speech is cancelled, it's time for good old fascism!"

Mike Johnson's protested to release what is to be a damning House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz because that is not the way things are done in the House, and I that would be a terrible precedent to set.” "The Weekend," co-host Michael Steele denied Christian Johnson's lie, and that the House has done it in the past, where reports have been released, after the member has the House.

Elon Musk Quietly Tried to Oust a Reform DA José Garza. In March, Musk poured nearly $700,000 into an under-the-radar election in Austin, Texas. The money funded ads targeting Garza. The Musk-funded ads were shameless in their fearmongering. But Garza handily won the primary, receiving 66 percent of the vote. https://theintercept.com/2024/11/16/jose-garza-district-attorney-elon-musk/

Trump is rushing quickly to pick future members of his cabinet based on how they look during any TV appearances, with input from some his closest advisers and little attention paid to vetting the potential candidates. Trump is also on the phone constantly as he makes his selections, and that includes speaking with unknown individuals overseas.
