11TH CIRCUIT JUDGE ED CARNES, concurring in the Project Veritas v. CNN case: “If you stay on the bench long enough, you see a lot of things. Still, I never thought I’d see a major news organization. downplaying the importance of telling the truth in its broadcasts. But that is what CNN has done in this case.”

PLEASE, STOP — I’M NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN: Trump transition figure warns DOJ lawyers: Get on board or get out.
A conservative lawyer working on Donald Trump’s transition, Mark Paoletta, offered a stark warning to career Justice Department lawyers Monday that those who refuse to advance Trump’s agenda should resign or face the possibility of being fired.
“Once the decision is made to move forward, career employees are required to implement the President’s plan,” Paoletta wrote in a post on X responding to a POLITICO story detailing widespread fear among DOJ lawyers about being asked to advance or defend policies they consider unethical or illegal.
“If these career DOJ employees won’t implement President Trump’s program in good faith, they should leave,” Paoletta said. “Those employees who engage in so-called ‘resistance’ against the duly-elected President’s lawful agenda would be subverting American democracy. … [t]hose that take such actions would be subject to disciplinary measures, including termination.”
Trump had four years to consider how he might improve on his first term, and it shows.
CONTEMPT IS A VOTE-GETTER
If the Dems want to keep losing men they’ll continue their favorite excuse from last night, “education”.
No one wants to hear a an elitist media personality with a French Lit degree from Vassar preen on about the “education divide”

ERICK ERICKSON: Why Trump Needs to Purge the Contractors.. “As Donald Trump prepares to begin the process of purging the bureaucracy when he assumes office, he needs to purge the contractors as well.”
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: FEMA outrage reveals weaponized government — and points Trump toward reform. “One of President-elect Donald Trump’s first orders of business must be to de-weaponize the federal government. One episode from Florida illustrates why. Not long ago you might have charged me with paranoid conspiracy theorizing if I had told you that federal disaster relief workers were deliberately keeping Trump supporters from receiving government assistance. But they were, and a FEMA supervisor has been fired for it.”
NO SANCTUARY: Incoming Border Czar Has a Tough Message for Open-Borders Dem Governors. “If they’re not willing to help, then get the hell out of the way because [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)] is going to do their job.”
MEANWHILE LEFTY WOMEN ARE DECLARING WAR ON MEN OVER TRUMP’S VICTORY: Ladies in red swung the vote: Trump beat Harris ‘with the largest female demographic.’
Liberal women are going on a sex strike and shaving their heads to punish men for voting for Donald Trump.
Men are breathing a sigh of relief, as this self-defeating gesture by the Trump-deranged bodes well for natural selection, especially since conservative women are having more babies.
But the joke is on the Trump-hating femmes. It was supposed to be the gender gap election, which women would win for Democrats because more of them vote.
Kamala “Brat” Harris was banking on the sisters to make her the first female president in history.
Except that’s not what happened. Women do historically vote Democrat, but this time Harris did worse with the female vote than both her Democratic predecessors — five points worse than Joe Biden and three points worse than Hillary Clinton.
And Trump beat Harris by five points with the largest female demographic — white women —and increased his vote with young women by seven points over his 2020 figures.
Speaking of ladies in red, I wonder who Jill Biden voted for?
I’m sure every woman is aware of what they wear. This is Jill Biden’s final statement to the Democratic Party that they mistreated her husband. She wears red on 5 November to vote. That’s a slap in the face to the Democratic Party. She probably even voted for President Trump. pic.twitter.com/HRtNKI7KvR

WILL VANCE JUST BE PRESIDING OFFICER? Or could there be some creative thinking going on behind the Trump transition scenes, sparked by Sen. Mike Lee’s pointing out that the Presiding Officer can also be the de facto Senate Majority Leader?
