Pence: 'we Will Appoint A Special Prosecutor' To Probe Clinton, Family Foundation

ABC host Jonathan Karl pressed Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) after he suggested that FBI background checks for President-elect Donald Trump's nominees weren't necessary. During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, Karl noted that Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) had called for an FBI background check for defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, who faced sexual misconduct allegations. "As you know, there haven't been FBI background checks for any of these nominees," Karl explained to Hagerty.

Recently, the Orange Felon tagged reality TV star and fake lumberjack Sean Duffy to be the Secretary of Transportation. But Duffy wasn't the Felon's first choice. That honor went to Tim Michels is a GOP carpetbagger from Connecticut who ran in 2018 to be the governor of Wisconsin. Like the California carpetbagger, Eric Hovde, Michels ran as a mini-me to the Orange Felon and like Hovde, got sent back to his home state with his tail between his legs. Per a report written by Dan Bice of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Felon had more than 500,000 reasons why he wanted Michels: MIchels, his two brothers and each of their spouses gave a total of $503,600 to a Trump-aligned political action committee, a Trump fundraising committee and the Republican National Committee — all on the same day in late September.read more

Newsmax hosts Shaun Kraisman and Emma Rechenberg interviewed Rep. Erin Houchen about Rep. Nancy Mace's disgraceful bathroom bill and by the end of it, made her look foolish. This is uncommon for Newsmax, but go with it. KRAISMAN: Just talk about the controversy that this has received, because maybe some members want to stay silent.

On this day in 1950 Frank Loesser's musical "Guys & Dolls", starring Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, and Sam Levene, opens at 46th St Theater, NYC. So today, my favorite song from the musical, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", which Stubby Kaye knocked clear out of the park.

Elon Musk is joking/not joking with El Cheato about buying MSNBC. Sure, why not? Via The Daily Mail: The blood in the water at MSNBC set Donald Trump Jr's tongue wagging on Friday. He joked on X: 'Hey Elon Musk I have the funniest idea ever!' He was responding to a post that incorrectly claimed the network is already for sale. Musk, who launched a hostile takeover for Twitter and won, took the bait. 'How much?' he replied in his own post. While the pair may have been joking, this was the same question he asked in 2017 when a Twitter user urged him to buy the site. What he and the Mango Man want more than anything is a hysterical reaction from the public at the very thought!

Or we could suppose that one got a pardon and the other one got elected by the slimmest popular vote margin since the 1800s. Matt Gaetz may be gone, but I'm sure he won't soon be forgotten. Meanwhile the Parade of Horribles marches on. An AG who takes bribes, a sexual assaulting SecDef, a DNI who is a Russian asset, and more. Happy Sunday before Thanksgiving!
