Greetings! Fox  News is showering praise on Donald Trump’s gatekeeper Natalie Harp.  The right wing news machine’s website published a glowing profile of The  Donald’s 33-year-old assistant, who seems to hold significant sway on who has access to the POTUS-elect. Interesting detail: she received an MBA from Liberty University, a private evangelical institution. Here’s the story (with images)…Dept. of No Surprises, Part I: Time magazine names Trump its person of the Year.  If Kamala Harris won the White House, I’m sure she would have been the choice…Dept. of No Surprises, Part II:  Newsmax names 2024 biggest political losers.  The list includes Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and Attorney General Merrick Garland ... .It's official.  Matt Gaetz will host a 9 PM ET  show on One America News. The ex-Congressman’s program debuts January 2 and will be based primarily in Los Angeles. That will put Gaetz up against Sean Hannity. Good luck with that. (OAN announcement)…Snark attack! The Washington Free Beacon has an article about convicted sex offender and tabloid punchline Anthony Weiner running for a minor NYC council office.  You may recall that Weiner’s ex-wife Huma Abedin was a senior aide to Hillary Clinton.

(Why do I feel like I ate a bad taco just by writing those words?) Thankfully, it didn’t come to pass.  The right wing blog Victory Girls must be  celebrating because they were surprisingly opposed to the idea.  “We might urge Trump to take a hard pass,” Toni Williams wrote yesterday.  “Trump has a big family and a ton of loyal friends. Surely there is someone, anyone, better positioned to move the Trump agenda forward with Mexico?”… Contributors to The Federalists listed some of their favorite books of the year.  They include: Lee Smith’s Disappearing the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic; The Man Who Would Be Queen, which attempts to debunk the concept that transgenderism is normal; and Edward Foley’s Ballot Battles: The History of Disputed Elections…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
