Breitbart: GOP Govs Vow to Work with Trump on Deportations: 'Time for Action Is Now'
Republican governors are pledging support for President-elect Donald Trump's extensive deportation plan, focusing on the removal of convicted criminal illegal aliens. Led by South Carolina's Gov. Henry McMaster, they emphasize the need to enhance public safety and national security by deporting individuals deemed threats.
The governors assert their commitment to utilizing state resources to assist in the deportation efforts, citing a significant increase in illegal immigration since President Biden took office. They aim to restore higher deportation rates, which have dropped significantly compared to previous administrations.
Breitbart: The Biden Legacy: 1M Migrants Shielded from Deportation via Quasi-Amnesty
President Biden has significantly increased the number of foreign nationals allowed to stay in the U.S. through Temporary Protected Status (TPS), with over one million currently benefiting from the program. TPS, established in 1990, protects individuals from countries facing crises, and under Biden, the number of designated countries has expanded to 17.
The Biden administration's expansion of TPS, particularly for Venezuelans and Haitians, has coincided with rising illegal immigration from these nations. Senate Democrats are urging further TPS designations for additional migrant communities, as the foreign-born population in the U.S. approaches 52 million.

The boat had reportedly sunk due to a storm, with 45 people believed to be on board initially. The girl’s journey remains unexplained, and under Italian law, she is entitled to asylum as a minor. Rescuers responded to her cries and brought her to safety.
Breitbart: Josh Hawley: Dem Plan Is Amnesty for 13M Illegals to Flood Workforce
Sen. Josh Hawley criticized Democrats for their support of amnesty for approximately 13 million illegal immigrants, arguing it would harm American workers by flooding the job market with low-wage labor. He claimed this policy would lead to lower wages and increased competition for jobs among citizens.
Hawley asserted that the Biden administration's immigration policies have contributed to stagnant wages and economic challenges for native-born Americans. He emphasized that the majority of Americans favor deportations over amnesty, suggesting that the current approach is detrimental to the workforce.

Breitbart: ProPublica Tried to Fact Check Whether Hegseth Was Admitted to West Point
ProPublica nearly published a false report claiming Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth was not accepted to West Point in 1999. Hegseth revealed the outlet's plans after sending them his letter of admission, which led West Point to acknowledge their mistake.
Despite this, ProPublica's editor stated they were simply conducting journalism, although they had already planned the story before contacting Hegseth. Critics argue this reflects a pattern of media attacks on Hegseth’s military credentials amid unverified allegations against him.
Front Page Magazine: Lipstick on a Political Pig
The Democrats are struggling to understand their recent electoral losses, often resorting to scapegoating rather than genuine analysis. Newly elected House Progressive Caucus chairman Greg Casar suggests reframing cultural issues as economic ones to promote more government intervention, which critics argue only deepens the party's disconnect with voters.
This approach overlooks the fundamental issues driving voter discontent, particularly inflation linked to Biden's economic policies. Instead of addressing these concerns, Casar's strategy reflects a persistent reliance on progressive ideologies, which many believe alienate a significant portion of the electorate.
Front Page Magazine: Bye Bye Wray
Christopher Wray's resignation as FBI director marks the end of a controversial tenure characterized by allegations of politicization and misuse of the agency against political opponents.

As Trump appoints Kash Patel to succeed Wray, there are calls for a complete overhaul of the FBI, with suggestions to repurpose its headquarters into a museum and refocus efforts on actual crime. The challenge remains whether the agency can be restored or if it should be dismantled entirely.
