Screenshot via Truth Social President Donald Trump raged on Truth Social Saturday that he was instructing the Justice Department to investigate Democrats for “threatening” Republicans in the wake of the midterm blue tsunami. Trump’s first shot across the bow after Tuesday’s embarrassing defeat was to appoint hard-liner Stephen Miller as chief of staff. Now, he’s urging the DOJ to target Democrats for being “extortionists.” “The Democrats are going around threatening a lot of people, including the Attorney General of the United States, and others, with Impeachment and many other forms of punishment, even though they admit they have no reason to do so, and there have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process,” Trump began, continuing: This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this. Also, they’re threatening our Donors, some of the most respected people anywhere in the World, with imprisonment, and many other levels of punishment, just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters. This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level. The Senator from Michigan, Elissa Slotkin, is saying that she is going to go after all young people that believe in Republican Values, and that give even the slightest inclination to be a Republican. The imprisonment should be against these EXTORTIONISTS, and Republicans should get smart, fast! Threatening letters have been sent to many people, all innocent, from Democrat Political Leaders. “By copy of this statement, I am ordering the Department of Justice to look into this criminal act, immediately!” Trump added before signing his name. What Slotkin actually said during an appearance at the University of Chicago last week: “I wanna look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president but on the people who enabled him,” the Michigan Democrat said. “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’ … I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want. And so let me avoid participating in that.’ I want that deterrence message sent.” Both Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Todd Blanche have been tapped by some Democrats for possible impeachment.The post Trump Orders DOJ To Look Into Democrats’ ‘Criminal’ Acts Of ‘Threatening’ Republicans first appeared on Mediaite.

(Screengrab via X) MAGA influencer Laura Loomer is now being accused of being paid between $3,000 and $5,000 for political tweets by multiple people following an ex-advisor to President Donald Trump putting her on blast. The Washington Post reported that three people spoke on the condition on anonymity and said they had direct knowledge of Loomer being paid for social media posts. Two said they had paid Loomer directly and the third said they had “overseen” clients who had paid the close ally to Trump. Loomer has denied that she is paid for tweets, explaining that she is paid for consulting work through her Florida-registered media company. The new accusations follow Alex Bruesewitz, an advisor to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, publicly accusing her in an online feud of taking money for posts. “I certainly don’t charge $5,000 for a tweet,” Loomer told The Post while denying she has “set prices” for her consulting work. She added, “I’m not some influencer that makes money from tweeting. My business is public affairs and opposition research. I also have a media company. It’s not illegal to make a living in America.” The Post reviewed bank transaction emails and a wire transfer statement showing $60,000 being paid to Loomer’s company since May 2025, though the documents themselves do not specify the reason for the payments. Two of the sources claimed the four payments were for political posts. One of the people who spoke with the outlet described Loomer as a “nuclear bomb.” “You have to be careful how to use that,” they said. “It’s effective but also turns a lot of things to sh*t if you’re not careful.” Loomer responded positively to the descriptions. “I’m glad people find me to be effective and think I have a good reach,” she said. “I’m not going to apologize for monetizing the fact that people fear me.” Bruesewitz told the paper he had paid Loomer for tweets last year. She denied this though, saying she was asked to put together a research paper, which she was paid for, and then she was asked to “distribute” it. Bruesewitz is among the voices calling for stricter regulations on political ads and influencers disclosing when they are paid for posts. “He paid me to make a one-page research document for him, and then he wanted me to distribute the information. And that’s what I did,” she said. The Post noted… [TheTopNews] Read More.18 hours ago - GMA Weekend Anchor Heads Back To South Africa After Abrupt End To Her Tenure
Screenshot Former “Good Morning America Weekend” anchor Janai Norman has returned to the country of her birth, South Africa, after ABC’s management abruptly failed to renew her contract in April. Norman announced the move on Instagram Stories Saturday in a post about her upcoming memoir, “Breaking.” “And speaking of breaking, have I mentioned my family is taking a break from the US?” Norman wrote, according to The New York Post. Norman revealed that she has settled in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province, along with her husband and their three children. Norman served as weekend co-anchor of GMA alongside Whit Johnson and Gio Benitz since 2022. She previously worked as a correspondent for ABC News and co-anchor for World News Now and America This Morning. After her abrupt ouster from the network, Norman said in a post to X, “I’d hoped that we’d have more time. It’s been hard on me that our time was cut short. I have loved my job. So, it really breaks my heart that I don’t get to say goodbye. I’m so sorry that I don’t get to say goodbye. It would have been fun.” Following that post, Norman began slamming ABC News and some of her old colleagues on social media. According to The New York Post, “Norman has unleashed a string of blistering social media critiques of her old employer, including accusing it and other news organizations of becoming ‘complicit in upholding white supremacy’ in a video that took aim at ‘GMA’ host Michael Strahan’s interview with the parents of a dead Mississippi teen.” “Bless Michael, ’cause he had it right the first time. The question should have been, ‘Do you believe that?’ Not asking these grieving parents to defend a decision that we don’t even know for certain their deceased son made,” Norman said in an Instagram video in July. She added, “That was not an objective question. Subjectively, I would say that it was insensitive.” When asked to comment, an ABC News spokesperson told The New York Post, “Michael is an invaluable and highly respected member of the ABC News family. He is a trusted anchor and journalist, and we have complete confidence in his editorial judgment, integrity, and professionalism.”The post GMA Weekend Anchor Heads Back To South Africa After Abrupt End To Her Tenure first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot Left-wing podcasts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan have apologized for laughing at an “insensitive” joke about desecrating the body of Charlie Kirk. The hosts of the I’ve Had It podcast faced backlash online this week after cracking up over an X post reading, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again” following Democrats winning majorities in the House and Senate in the midterm elections. The women both laughed hard for nearly 30 seconds as Welch said, “No comment on that.” Kirk was assassinated in September 2025 during an event at a university campus in Utah. Welch and Sullivan went on to claim that Kirk was shot by someone who was “a MAGA person” because he was white and from a “MAGA family.” Tyler Robinson was charged with with Kirk’s murder. An apology was released on Saturday through the Instagram account for the I’ve Had It podcast. The hosts also used the apology to promote “common-sense gun safety reform” and said they had donated to the organization Everytown for Gun Safety. The statement reads: On Thursday’s show, we laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk. It was an insensitive joke, and we should not have laughed. We regret it, and we apologize. Whatever our political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence. We’ve long supported common-sense gun safety reform. To that end, we’ve made a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. We’ll keep using our platforms to fight for the safety of all Americans. Welch has previously received pushback and got into a heated exchange over her comments about Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow who has taken his place leading Turning Point USA. The left-wing podcaster has called Erika Kirk a “terrible person” and a grifter. She’s also said Charlie Kirk “justified his death.” “Erika Kirk, no, I do not regret it, and oftentimes when I see [what I’ve said], I don’t think I go far enough,” Welch told Piers Morgan in September. “Erika Kirk and Charlie Kirk peddled racism, homophobia, [and] she has recently been talking about ‘white male men’ and … her message to women is to have children even if you can’t afford them.”The post Left-Wing Podcasters Apologize for Laughing Uncontrollably at Idea of ‘Digging Up’ Charlie Kirk and Killing Him Again first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via WWE The inside “favorite” to replace Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) once she heads for the governor’s office in January is reportedly a former WWE wrestler. Glenn Jacobs, once known as the wrestler Kane in the WWE, is a former Knox County mayor who is Libertarian-leaning and a close ally of former congressman Ron Paul. According to The Washington Sun, Jacobs has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Blackburn in the Senate once she heads to the governor’s office on Jan. 16. “Based on [what happened], it’s even more likely for Glenn,” one Republican operative said about the matter. Two others familiar with the situation also suggested Jacobs currently has the “advantage” over other rumored candidates, like Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Deputy Gov. Stuart McWhorter, and Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN). Jacobs and Blackburn share a consultant in Ward Baker and the wrestler-turned-politician and governor-elect have reportedly become increasingly close over her gubernatorial campaign. “Every time I saw Marsha, Glenn wasn’t very far behind,” Kim Perry, president of a Tennessee-based political consulting firm, said. The political consultant added, “Here in Shelby County and the Memphis metro area, where we live, we love our wrestling here, so people know him.” Jacobs performed as the wrestler Kane during his WWE days. His character was a sometimes-masked, sometimes supernatural half-brother to the character of The Undertaker. According to WWE lore, Kane murdered his parents by burning his house down as a fire-obsessed child and he then spent his youth in a mental asylum before being released and confronting his older brother in his ring. Jacobs was also an actor for a short while, appearing in films like See No Evil, See No Evil 2, and Countdown between 2006 and 2016. He has long been an outspoken Libertarian-leaning voice and a noted fan and ally of Ron Paul, arguably the most vocal Libertarian voice in congressional history. Jacobs turned to politics full-time when he became mayor of Knox County, Tennessee from 2008 to 2026, leaving office after reaching his term limit. “He can talk to both the kind of ‘establishment’ type people but then also the regular voters too,” a Republican operative in Tennessee said. “He kind of has that appeal.” Still, Burchett is open about his wanting Blackburn’s Senate seat and he was a regular at her campaign events. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also been floated as a possibility, but insiders have… [TheTopNews] Read More.20 hours ago - Ratings Show Fox News’ Saturday in America With Kayleigh McEnany Tops Weekend ...

McEnany has gone beyond politics to include coverage of the Lindsay Clancy case, including an exclusive interview with the holdout juror, and the controversial Cornell 7 rape case, for which she spoke with the attorney of one of the accused.
