President-elect Donald Trump gave Elon Musk the green light to post multiple calls to kill the GOP-brokered spending deal.

“If the speaker acts decisively, and tough, and gets rid of all of the traps being set by the Democrats, which will economically and, in other ways, destroy our country, he will easily remain speaker,” Trump told Fox News Digital.

Trump suggested that Johnson’s proposed continuing resolution was was “unacceptable.”

“We’ll see. What they had yesterday was unacceptable,” Trump told NBC News.

“In many ways it was unacceptable. It’s a Democrat trap.”

ABC News reported that Trump also indicated that he had discussed his views on the bill with social media giant Musk and granted the billionaire permission to trash the government spending bill on his social media platform.

“I told him that if he agrees with me, that he could put out a statement,” Trump said.

Musk then conducted an all-out pressure campaign flooding his platform with dozens of posts threatening members of Congress to block Johnson’s government funding bill.

“Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!” Musk wrote.

Musk also called on his more than 200 million followers to call their representatives and urge them to block the bill.

“Please call your elected representatives right away to tell them how you feel! They are trying to get this passed today while no one is paying attention.”

Trump’s own statement opposing the measure came hours after Musk put his thoughts on his social media platform.

Trump, too, argued against the bill and threatened to primary Republicans who vote to pass it.

“If Republicans try to pass a clean Continuing Resolution without all of the Democrat “bells and whistles” that will be so destructive to our Country, all it will do, after January 20th, is bring the mess of the Debt Limit into the Trump Administration,” Trump said in a post on Wednesday.

“Any Republican that would be so stupid as to do this should, and will, be Primaried. Everything should be done, and fully negotiated, prior to my taking Office on January 20th, 2025.”

The next morning, Trump shared a similar sentiment with Fox News Digital, saying:

“Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible.”

A former researcher at OpenAI was found dead in his San Francisco apartment just months after he blew the whistle over alleged copyright violations by the company in developing its ChatGPT chatbot.

The San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said 26-year-old Suchir Balaji’s death has been ruled as a suicide.

Officers from the San Francisco Police Department conducted a welfare check at Balaji’s apartment on November 26.

Upon inspection, the officer discovered a deceased adult male but reported no signs of foul play in their preliminary findings.

A month earlier, an article published in the New York Times highlighted Balaji’s concerns about the impact of AI technologies like ChatGPT on the profitability of creators and organizations supplying the data used for AI training.

“If you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,” he told the outlet, adding that “this is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole.”

Balaji left the company over the concerns.

As Mercury News reported, Its public release in late 2022 spurred a torrent of lawsuits against OpenAI from authors, computer programmers and journalists, who say the company illegally stole their copyrighted material to train its program and elevate its value past $150 billion.

Balaji voiced concern about his assignment of gathering data from the internet for the company’s GPT-4 program, which analyzed text from nearly the entire internet to train its artificial intelligence program.

According to Balaji, the practice violated the country’s “fair use” laws, and he posted an analysis on his personal website arguing that point.

Balaji wrote that no known factors “seem to weigh in favor of ChatGPT being a fair use of its training data,”

“That being said, none of the arguments here are fundamentally specific to ChatGPT either, and similar arguments could be made for many generative AI products in a wide variety of domains.”

Hollywood actor Daniel Baldwin claimed major injury elites are engaging in “bidding wars” for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ blackmail sex tapes filmed from his infamous freak-off parties.

During a recent PBD podcast appearance, Baldwin said that Diddy has “videos of the parties… I’ve heard from friends that are attorneys… there’s a bidding war going on right now.”

Baldwin continued: “They’re driving that price up because if you want your client and your famous actor to not be involved, a famous singer to not come out, here’s the price, and that they’re just selling to the individuals that are in those.”

“This is what I heard. They’re selling those videos,” he added, suggesting Hollywood elites are buying the tapes so they don’t go to jail.

Baldwin said Diddy has now become the Jeffrey Epstein of Hollywood.

Watch:

As we reported earlier this year, Diddy’s former bodyguard revealed the rapper had compromising tapes of elite politicians engaging in disturbing sexual activities with children in what has been referred to as the “secret room.”

“You know who else they were doing an investigation on during that whole time period? It was the mayor and the politicians in New York City,” Gene Deal stated.

“They turned around, gave him the key to the city. All the mayor’s people that he brought in here in New York City are resigning. They all resigned.”

“People are not going to tie this together, but if you look at it, you have to say, because of Mayor Adams and his relationship with Diddy, it brought on the Southern District of New York to start investigating Diddy on civil lawsuits that were filed against him because the feds are going after all these politicians in New York City,” the former bodyguard also claimed.

As we reported earlier this year, jailed music executive Suge Knight warned that Diddy’s ‘life’s in danger’ because of the “secret room’ footage.

“Your life’s in danger cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in … you know they’re going to get you if they can,” he said.

“I’ll tell you what Puffy, your life’s in danger cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in … you know they’re going to get you if they can,” said Knight.

Meanwhile, a source close to Diddy said the rapper has “enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood,” with many high-profile film industry figures praying “he keeps his mouth shut.”

“The word is he’s got enough dirt to hang half of Hollywood,” the source added.

Combs is accused of abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes.

The largest-ever surge in illegal immigration occurred under Joe Biden‘s watch, according to the left-leaning New York Times, which laid the blame directly on the senile president.

The conclusion was based on an analysis of government data and confirms what President-elect Donald Trump has been warning about for the past four years.

The report said that between 2021 and 2023, the total net migration into the U.S. was 2.4 million. Under Biden’s presidency, more than eight million people entered the country, which is more than the populations of at least 38 states. Moreover, that number is likely to be much higher, with estimates of a further two million referring to those who evade capture by border officials or “getaways” that are not included in official statistics.

According to NYT, the flood of illegal immigration has “caused the share of the U.S. population born in another country to reach a new high, 15.2 percent in 2023, up from 13.6 percent in 2020,” adding, “the previous high was 14.8 percent, in 1890.” This was all down to border policies, which the report says was the “biggest factor.”

The surge in illegal immigration means “wage growth for Americans who did not attend college will be lower than it otherwise would have been for the next few years,” the report notes.

Trump’s plans to enact a mass deportation program upon taking office are now supported by the majority of Americans, according to various polls.

YouGov conducted one such poll on behalf of CBS News, which surveyed 2,232 adults and found that 45 per cent of respondents said that Trump’s effort to “deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally” should be a “high priority.” Another 28 percent said that it should be “medium priority.” Meanwhile, just 27 percent said it should not be a priority.

With Biden still in office, Democrats are now demanding he get as many illegal immigrants into the country as possible before Trump takes office. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Alex Padilla (D-CA) demanded Biden ward large groups of illegal aliens with immigration benefits before he leaves office.

In a letter to Biden, the senators wrote:

“In addition to supporting strong border security, we are eager to ensure that DACA recipients, TPS holders, and other immigrants who are critical members of our communities and economies are not forgotten during this busy time.”

“What I take is what I hear from this incoming administration, they’re going to engage in mass deportation and nobody is safe,” Cortez Masto told MSNBC this week.

“That’s why I’m asking the administration to come in now to protect some of the immigrant communities — TPS recipients, DACA recipients.”

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell claimed that the “America First” slogan has similar similar to those used in the 1930s before World War Two.

McConnell told The Financial Times “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War Two,” McConnell said. “Even the slogan is the same: ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”

“The cost of deterrence is considerably less than the cost of war,” he continued.

“To most American voters, I think the simple answer is, ‘Let’s stay out of it.’ That was the argument made in the ’30s and that just won’t work. Thanks to Reagan, we know what does work — not just saying peace through strength, but demonstrating it.”

McConnell went on to voice disagreement with Donald Trump’s assertion that the real enemy is not Russia and China but within the United States.

However, McConnell said he voted for Donald Trump and Republicans down ballot but refused to mention the president-elect by name.

“I supported the ticket,” he said. “The election’s over and we’re moving on.”

In the past, McConnell said he was appalled by the January 6 Capitol riot and called Trump a “despicable human being.”

The 82 year old also reportedly celebrated Joe Biden winning the election in 2020 despite widespread evidence of the election fraud.

“They’ve had just enough of the misrepresentations, the outright lies almost on a daily basis, and they fired him,” he was quoted as saying.

“And for a narcissist like him, that’s been really hard to take, and so his behavior since the election has been even worse, by far, than it was before, because he has no filter now at all.”

Earlier this week, McConnell was snapped being pushed around in the wheelchair by a member of his staff after falling at the GOP luncheon on Tuesday.

The photo has promoted calls for McConnell’s resignation and term limits.

Despite the health episodes, he still plans to run for another term.
