Cenk Uygur, the main host of the far left political talk show the ‘Young Turks’ attended an event hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA in Arizona this week and was welcomed warmly by the crowd.

In his opening remarks, Uygur praised the attendees, saying that people on the right are more welcoming than Democrats. He then suggested that this is one of the reasons why Trump and MAGA won the popular vote in November.

He also said that people need to try to work together more, especially when they find they’re in agreement on a particular issue.

Mediaite provides a partial transcript of Uygur’s remarks:

CENK: You guys do a great job of coalescing. Okay, So you do a couple of things, well. You work together well, and you’re more welcoming, if I’m being honest.

KIRK: We’re glad Cenk’s here. Right, everybody?

[CROWD CHEERS]

CENK: And a lot of people on the left know this as well. If you agree with MAGA 5%, the answer you get is welcome, right? Come join us right? On the left if you disagree 5%, they go, get out of here. You’re a right winger. You’re a fascist. Right? But if you push enough people out and you guys welcome enough people in, eventually you win the popular vote. That’s what I warn them about. And that’s what happened, right?

[CROWD CHEERS]

CENK: So, look, I proposed simple rules, the three rules of the Internet. Rule number one. When we disagree, we fight. There’s nothing wrong with that right now. New rule number two is afterwards, we must have a beer together. Okay. And and rule number three is, for God’s sake, when we agree, let’s unite. So for the left. We have too much division. We almost never unify. I don’t mean with the right. I mean internally. The left loves to attack one another. I love you guys on the left. I love you. But every once in a while, when we get a yes, when we agree. Can we please unite? And the second thing we need is for the old I’m being honest. And on average, not everyone, of course, but for the older Democratic voters. Please turn off your television sets there. They’re lying to you.

Uygur is right about MAGA folks. They are friendly and welcoming. They are nothing like the way the media has tried to portray them.

Less than a year ago, people were still speculating about who Donald Trump would pick to be his running mate. When he finally announced that it was JD Vance, people on the right were excited or at least enthusiastic to learn more about the Ohio senator.

Over the summer, the Kamala Harris campaign tried to brand Vance as ‘weird’ but it didn’t stick, especially as people got to know Kamala’s running mate Tim Walz, who genuinely seemed weird.

Once the VP debate happened, any questions people still had about JD Vance were answered. He came across as a smart, decent man who was worthy of the public’s trust.

Two of Trump’s top advisers recently revealed some inside baseball about why Trump picked Vance in the first place.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Trump’s top advisers explain why Trump picked Vance: ‘Torch-carrier of MAGA’

Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio said President-elect Donald Trump‘s selection of Vice President-elect J.D. Vance was a move for the future, in an interview that was the deepest dive inside the 2024 Trump campaign yet.

Fabrizio and LaCivita told Politico that Trump views Vance as the “torch-carrier” of the MAGA movement, and that he was a “deliberate” pick regardless of who the Democratic nominee for president was.

“They have a really good personal relationship,” Fabrizio said. “I think he sees JD — and I’m not trying to put words in the president’s mouth — he kind of sees JD as the torch-carrier of MAGA. This was a generational pick. This is, ‘I want this movement to go forward beyond me.’”

Vance has been known as Trump’s “envoy to Congress” in the weeks after the election, introducing Trump’s Cabinet picks to senators and relaying the president-elect’s feelings on the continuing resolution.

This explanation makes perfect sense. If the second Trump administration is as successful as people expect it to be, Vance will be well positioned to run as the Republican nominee in 2028 in order to carry on what started with Trump.

Joe Biden met with the families of the fallen US service members killed by a suicide bomber at Kabul Airport during their dignified transfer at Dover airbase.

During the ceremony, Joe Biden famously checked the time on his watch before the bodies were brought out.

Because of Joe Biden’s incompetence, 13 US service members were killed in a suicide blast in Kabul by a terrorist who was released from Bagram prison weeks earlier.

Biden would not allow any media present while he met with the gold star families.

Joe Biden met the pregnant widow of one of the fallen Marines and it didn’t go well, according to the Washington Post.

20-year-old Rylee McCollum was a Marine from Bondurant, Wyoming, and only three weeks into his first deployment when he was killed in the Kabul blast.

McCollum graduated high school two years ago and was three weeks away from becoming a father.

McCollum’s grief-stricken mother went off on Joe Biden and blamed him for her son’s death.

But now we know there is more to the story.

The grieving families accuse Joe Biden of napping for three hours before meeting with the families.

Now they are speaking out.

The Daily Mail reported:

On August 26, a Taliban suicide bomber capitalized on the busy crowds, killing 13 US Servicemembers and over 170 Afghans.

While Biden was absent from the withdrawal planning, he did show up to greet the caskets of the US Servicemen and woman who were killed, infamously checking his watch on the tarmac before their coffins were brought out.

It was his second insult to their families that day, according to the sister of Rylee McCollum, one of the men who died.

‘(Biden) made us wait an extra three hours to receive the bodies of our dead family members because he couldn’t pull it together,’ Roice McCollum told DailyMail.com.

Roice said she and others were waiting for Biden to appear when a military officer told her he was napping on his plane.

Christy Shamblin, the mother-in-law of Marine Sgt. Nicole Gee, and Darin Hoover, the father of Staff Sgt. Taylor Hoover, who were also killed in the Kabul blast, told DailyMail.com that their families were also left waiting on the tarmac.

‘We sat in that office for what seemed like an eternity waiting on the doddering old fool,’ Hoover recalled.

Donald Trump has warned that the United States could seize back the Panama Canal unless the country agrees to lower its costs and counter Chinese influence.

In a post on Truth Social, the incoming president urged the Panamanian government to start taking care of the canal or face the consequences.

He wrote:

The United States has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood. We would and will NEVER let it fall into the wrong hands! It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama.

If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!

Trump later followed up with another post explaining its role preserving America’s economic and national security:

The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America’s Economy and National Security. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports.

The United States is the Number One user of the Canal, with over 70 percent of all transits heading to, or from, U.S. ports. Considered one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago, and was built at HUGE cost to the United States in lives and treasure – 38,000 American men died from infected mosquitos in the jungles during construction.

Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade. When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, for One Dollar, during his term in Office, it was solely for Panama to manage, not China, or anyone else.

It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States, its Navy, and corporations, doing business within our Country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage. Our Navy and Commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way.

The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S. This complete “rip-off” of our Country will immediately stop….

Panamanian officials have yet to respond to Trump’s warning, although it will be taken extremely seriously given the outsized role in plays in the country’s economy.

During his first term in office, Trump met with former Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela where he mentioned America’s involvement in the canal’s construction.

“The Panama Canal is doing quite well,” Trump remarked during the meeting. “I think we did a good job building it, right?”

Serial liar Dr. Anthony Fauci joined Georgetown University’s faculty last year as a “distinguished university professor.”

But now, a new report has increased scrutiny of the cushy role after the revelation that Fauci has yet to teach a single course.

In the summer of 2023, Georgetown announced Fauci would serve as “a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Medicine’s Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases.” He also received an appointment at the university’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

The university calls the role its “most significant professional honor” reserved for faculty members “whose extraordinary accomplishment in scholarship, teaching and service have earned them significant recognition in the Academy.”

“We are deeply honored to welcome Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a dedicated public servant, humanitarian and visionary global health leader, to Georgetown,” says Georgetown President John J. DeGioia. “Dr. Fauci has embodied the Jesuit value of being in service to others throughout his career, and we are grateful to have his expertise, strong leadership and commitment to guiding the next generation of leaders to meet the pressing issues of our time.”

According to The College Fix, however, no examples of Fauci actually teaching can be found in the school’s course catalogs since the announcement.

It has been a year and a half since the Jesuit Catholic university announced Fauci would have the title at its medical school. He also joined the McCourt School of Public Policy at the same time.

It has also been seven months since the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law made him a “distinguished senior scholar.” Lawrence Gostin, the institute’s faculty director, said that Fauci “is nothing short of a national treasure, having dedicated more than 50 years of his life to public service and numerous contributions in the field of infectious diseases.”

The College Fix searched several publicly available course catalogs but found no evidence of classes taught by Fauci. In fact, his name does not even appear as a listed instructor.

It is unclear if Fauci has performed any research at Georgetown. He said in 2023, “I could do more experiments in the lab and have my lab going, but given what I’ve been through, I think what I have to offer is experience.”

According to an Aug. 2024 article in The Georgetowner, instead of teaching courses, Fauci has “given lectures, seminars and fireside chats for undergrads and for students and others from the School of Medicine, School of Health, School of Public Policy, Law Center and Walsh School of Foreign Service.”

Fauci, the public face of the failed COVID response, has increasingly come under fire for both his failure of leadership and how he managed to catapult such epic failure into multiple opportunities to pad his bank account.

In June, The Vires Law Group, in conjunction with the Edward L. Tarpley, Jr., APLC and bolstered by the support of the Former Feds Group Freedom Foundation, announced the submission of criminal referral requests to the District Attorneys of nine Louisiana parishes.

The referrals call for the initiation of criminal investigations against Fauci, Deborah “Scarf Lady” Birx, Rochelle Walensky, Peter Daszak, and other public health officials for alleged crimes committed against Louisiana citizens preceding and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Allegations include mismanagement of COVID-19 infections under hospital protocols, intentional suppression, and denial of life-saving treatments within Louisiana hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities.
The Intercept obtained 900 pages of Wuhan documents through a FOIA request revealing that Fauci and former National Institute for Health (NIH) Director Dr. Francis Collins Collins lied about funding gain-of-function research.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Dr. Phil McGraw to discuss the staggering kickbacks Fauci and other high-level NIH deputies received from Moderna and other major pharmaceuticals.

The Gateway Pundit has also reported on how the pharmaceutical industry has pocketed billions from COVID “vaccines.”

Fauci retired from the federal bureaucracy as the highest-paid government employee, with a $480,654 salary, and a net worth of reportedly at least $11 million and set to receive an annual retirement payment of $350,000.

A report from OpentheBooks revealed that over the past two years, Fauci has also received $15,000,000 in taxpayer-funded security services despite him having returned to private citizenship.

Democrat National Committee official Lindy Li has speculated that Joe Biden is pushing an insider trading ban because he has a “bone to pick” with Nancy Pelosi, who is “notorious” for the practice.

Pelosi was one of the people who pressed Biden to drop out of the presidential race in July.

The former House Speaker is reportedly worth $240 million, much of which came from investing in tech stocks.

Li discussed Biden’s desire to bar members of Congress from trading during an appearance on Fox News @ Night on Friday.

Host Kevin Corke asked the panel about a Daily Mail report claiming First Lady Jill Biden is feeling “vengeful” against those who forced her husband to end his reelection bid.

The report states that Jill Biden wants to “burn the whole thing down” before her husband leaves office.

Li responded to the report by saying, “She’s totally right, and we can see that happen when Joe forcibly came out and cited insider trading.”

“It took him 50 years to get to that point, but you know why he did that? Because he still has a bone to pick with Rep. Nancy Pelosi,” she continued.

“He’s still very angry that he got summarily pushed aside, and he’s finally saying that no one in Congress should be able to trade on the inside information, and you know who’s notorious for that? Nancy Pelosi,” Li stated.

Andrew Lownie is an experienced Royal biographer who not only has the deep sources, but also is fearless in his quest to find, research and write about pertinent information on Britain’s longtime rulers.

Now, Lownie is revealing that disgraced Prince Andrew, once again an outcast in ‘the Firm’, may find a whole different royal family eager to ‘adopt’ him.

Daily Beast reported:

“The prince has been gifted the use of a palace in Abu Dhabi by the country’s autocratic elite, the royal historian and freedom-of-information campaigner Andrew Lownie will claim in a hotly anticipated biography of the prince to be published next year.”

Andrew’s friends say he could ‘do a Harry’ next year, and flee the U.K. for the Middle East.

The Duke feels he has been unfairly treated over his relationship with alleged Chinese spy, Yang Tengbo.

Yang had a close personal and business relationship with Andrew.

Documents found in Yang’s possession say Andrew was ‘in a desperate situation and will grab on to anything’.

“Yang ran the Chinese arm of Andrew’s Pitch@Palace initiative, and Andrew was entitled to a 2 percent cut of any investment deals made.”

Andrew Had free use of private palaces owned by the UAE’s ruling House of Nahyan, back when he was a trade ambassador for the UK a decade ago.

In Lownie’s upcoming biography of the prince ‘Entitled: The Controversial Lives of the Duke and Duchess of York’, we learn that: “Andrew continues to have exclusive access to at least one fully staffed private palace in the country despite not technically owning it.”

Lownie: “Andrew has been given the use of a palace by the Abu Dhabi authorities. It costs them nothing. He has been spending a lot of time out there in recent years and I am told by reliable sources that from next year he may divide his time between the Middle East and the U.K. He is expected to go between the two. It makes sense for him; there is good weather, he is treated with deference, there are a lot of golf courses, and he can conduct his business affairs however he sees fit.”

Following the horrendous school shooting attack by 15-year-old Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, a student at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS), who took the lives of a student and a teacher, injured six others, before taking her own life, Barbara Wiers, the school’s director for elementary and communications, leans on her faith to cope with the event.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the tragic event unfolded on Monday, shortly before 11 a.m. at ALCS in Madison, Wisconsin. As an investigation is still ongoing, FBI agents have detained 20-year-old Alexander Paffendorf for allegedly conspiring with Samantha leading up to the act.

California Man Detained for Allegedly Conspiring with Teen Behind Wisconsin Christian School Shooting in Chilling Plot to Blow Up Government Building

Paffendorf had reportedly been in contact with Rupnow, sharing plans to target a government building using explosives and firearms.

FBI agents reportedly intercepted incriminating messages between the two, leading to Paffendorf’s detainment and the seizure of firearms from his residence.

A gun violence restraining order, which in California is used to stop someone from having, owning, or buying any firearms (guns), firearm parts, ammunition, or magazines, signed by a San Diego Superior Court judge late Tuesday evening, details how Paffendorf confessed his involvement to FBI agents during an interview.

During an interview with FBI agents, Paffendorf reportedly admitted to plotting the attack, stating that he had discussed arming himself with explosives and targeting a government building.

The restraining order detailed the agents’ findings, noting that Paffendorf’s messages confirmed his intent to act in tandem with Rupnow’s violent attack in Madison.

As law enforcement continues investigating the tragedy, the Abundant Life Christian School community turns to the Bible for answers. Perhaps if more people did this to deal with life’s everyday hardships rather than complaining and crying victimhood, enabled by leftist educators, maybe the clear mental health problem in this generation would be solved, and mass shootings would no longer be an issue. Guns don’t drive people to commit mass murder. Society’s abandonment of God and Christian family principles has deprived the younger generation of its morals.

According to the ALCS mission statement written by Principal Butler, the Christian school relies on the Bible to inspire the “Word of God and the foundation for all that we teach is integral to who we are.” This remains true as faculty turns to religion to help the community and students get through this horrific event–an idea that seemingly no leftist would consider as they’d rather restrict the Second Amendment.

Samantha Rupnow was recently transferred to ACLS. It is unclear where she was educated previously or whether or not she was a believer. Rupnow reportedly had a troubled home life, with her mother and father divorcing and remarrying three times, and she had school attendance troubles.

Wiers recently told The Associated Press how faith is sustaining the community as they move forward with this tragedy.

Per AP:

Barbara Wiers, the school’s director for elementary and communications, told The Associated Press that the attack lasted eight minutes — shorter than the school’s regular snack break. She said the community’s faith and connection to one another has sustained them as they struggle with the possibility that the shooter’s motive might remain undetermined.

“Are we broken right now? Yes. Are we bruised and battered? Yes,” she said. “But we will laugh again, and He will turn our mourning into joy again. And we will go on.”

This was Rupnow’s first semester at ALCS, Wiers said. The school was working with her family on attendance, but teachers had no significant concerns, she said.
