Stefanik bailing because she is 'exhausted' from defending Trump: GOP strategist

Rep. Elise Stefanik’s surprise decision to not only drop her bid to run for governor of New York but also give up her seat in the House and return to private life was an admission that she no longer wants to spend her days talking about Donald Trump.

The Republican lawmaker who started out as a moderate only to go full MAGA, which allowed her to rise to a GOP leadership position an extraordinary speed, said in a statement, “While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress. I did not come to this decision lightly for our family.”

Pete Hegseth's excuse for stonewalling Congress shot down by retired general

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to withhold video from one of his attacks on alleged drug boats, not only from the public but also from members on Congress, is ludicrous, according to retired US Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling.

With the Trump administration continuing their attacks, claiming they are going after narcoterrorists without providing any evidence, Hertling claimed the Donald Trump appointee’s excuse for hiding the notorious Sept. 2nd attack video showing survivors of an earlier attack being killed doesn’t hold water.

'Disaster for Trump': MAGA conspiracist loses it over new Epstein files

Far-right InfoWars webcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones had a dire warning for MAGA on Friday: President Donald Trump is blowing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files, and falling into a trap set by his Democratic opponents.

"This is a disaster for Trump," said Jones. "And I predicted it and everybody predicted it, that if he obliquely joined the cover-up, the Democrats would selectively hang it around his neck. Evidence last week, they give the estate a few months ago of Epstein over to them, 90-plus thousand files. They picked 19 files, and it's Trump at public events with beauty queens and stuff and they black their faces out. MSNBC says, 'Is that the girls? Do they black them out because they're victims?' And we debunk it quickly, but the point is, it doesn't matter. Because Trump joined in it."
