Five Of The Best Donald Trump Celebration Dances You May Have Missed Over The Weekend

Last weekend was notable for multiple dance celebrations in the style of Donald Trump, as his supporters are making their support heard. To the chagrin of the left, the “silent Trump supporters” are silent no more.

The President-elect’s signature jig to Y.M.C.A by the Village People always marked the end of his campaign rallies that would ultimately lead him to a second term in the White House. Trump would shuffle to the 1978 #1 hit, thrusting his arms back and forth in a now iconic routine that has gone viral on social media websites like TikTok.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, Trump sat ringside with trusted aides for UFC 309. Following Jon Jones’ victory over Stipe Miocic, the heavyweight champion gave the President-elect his belt – not before he celebrated with Trump’s signature dance moves.

By Sunday, the dance had spread across to the NFL. Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers took motivation from Jones’ victory by celebrating with his own variation of the dance after a 23-yard catch-and-run touchdown.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley would also partake in the new tradition after scoring a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

Adding the golf swing to the celebration, Detroit Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith made a hallmark debut with his own version of the Trump dance.

It wasn’t just the NFL, or the U.S., which engaged in the celebration. In the third-division of English soccer, Barnsley striker Stephen Humphrys celebrated his equaliser with the dance.

New York Times Fumbles Its Own Fact Check On RFK Jr.

The New York Times (NYT) embarrassingly contradicted its own fact check on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over the weekend within a single paragraph.

RFK Jr., who last week was appointed to Donald Trump’s cabinet as Secretary for Health and Human Services, was the focus of a NYT article titled, “Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies.” It largely focused on the former presidential candidate’s ambitions to Make America Healthy Again, specifically his war on processed food.

The NYT took issue with Kennedy’s remarks about Froot Loops, where he highlighted the differences between the cereal in the U.S. and Canada. He asked, “Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada and it has two or three?” in an interview with MSNBC.

The article claiming Kennedy was “was wrong on the ingredient count” while deliberately ignoring the essence of his claim that American food is overly processed compared to its Canadian counterpart.

Then, within the same paragraph, the Times hilariously admits that “But the Canadian version does have natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.”

Many on social media ridiculed the NYT for the fumbled fact check.

The NYT has since updated their piece, blaming an “editing error.”

The story now reads as follows, post-update:

New York City Mayor Eric Adams Surprises “The View” In Debate Over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Unwatchable ABC daytime talk show “The View” invited New York Mayor Eric Adams on for its Friday, Nov. 15 edition in the wake of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as Secretary for Health and Human Services.

The program typically only invites Democrats (or Republicans who might as well be Democrats) to discuss current affairs, and Mayor Adams is no exception. However, The View got more than it bargained for when Adams unexpectedly began to defend RFK Jr. and President-elect Donald Trump.

The talk show hosts were skeptical of Kennedy’s appointment, but Adams acknowledged ongoing health issues with hormones in food and fluoride in water. They then began to question whether HHS officials would leave en masse once RFK Jr. assumed the role (which would actually just help drain the swamp).

“If we love our country, then no one individual should take us away from our mission,” Adams said. “If you’ve dedicated your life to a particular place… I dedicated my life to law enforcement; if a new commissioner came in that I disagreed with, I [wouldn’t] say I was going to resign.”

Calling on Americans to love the country, Adams continued, “Those are experts in this; they’re going to look at his proposals, do a real analysis, and make these decisions. It happens every day.”

The hosts then tried to shift the conversation to Adams’ reluctance to join his party colleagues in describing Trump as a fascist.

“We’ve reached a point in this country where we no longer want to engage in conversation,” Adams said. “They were even calling him Hitler; that was an insult to the millions of Jews and others who died.”

Adams’ remarks left some commentors on social media to ponder whether his views align more closely with the GOP.

Others were simply stunned by The View’s continual promotion of the left-wing agenda, particularly given Adams’ remarks.

“Get The Hell Out Of The Way” – New Border Czar Tom Homan Responds To Democrats Who Want To Block His Deportation Plans

Incoming border czar Tom Homan warned liberal governors to “get the Hell out of the way” amid a new alliance to prevent raids on illegal immigrants.

Blue state leaders have created the “Governors Safeguarding Democracy” (GSD) alliance in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. The new coalition gained attention when Gov. of Illinois J.B. Pritzker said the prospect of red state National Guard troops carrying out deportation raids in Democrat areas was “just not something we’re going accept.”

Homan responded to the ongoing discontent among Democrat Governors in an interview with Fox News. The former police officer said, “We’re at a situation now where the cops – the ones who want to enforce the law – are the bad guys, but the ones who break the law? They’re the victims.”

Pledging to enforce deportation plans against illegal immigrants in the wake of Trump’s victory, Homan added, “If the Mayors and the Governors want to step in the way? Look, you can either help, or get the Hell out of the way, because we’re going to do this job.”

Adding that the American people had given Trump a mandate, Homan said he “couldn’t believe” left-leaning politicians did not want public safety and national security threats taken out of their jurisdictions.

Watch his full response below:

Homan has already built a popular following among conservatives.

Many were deeply critical of Democrat politicians who opposed the deportation plans.

Scott Jennings Destroys CNN Panel During Row Over RFK Jr

CNN, like much of the mainstream media, was distraught over Donald Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the role of Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Leftist media outlets have largely focused on the fact that Kennedy is skeptical over the effectiveness of vaccines, rather than his developed understanding of health issues facing the country.

The appointment prompted debate on Thursday’s edition of Newsnight, with commentator Geoff Duncan arguing there was “no good reason” for the former Democrat to hold the role.

“There’s no managerial experience in his resume; nothing that says he is qualified to do this job,” Duncan said.

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings questioned this thought process, asking what management qualifications Kennedy’s predecessors possessed when they were appointed to the role. As Jennings listed off previous HHS Secretaries’ qualifications, or lack thereof, Duncan interrupted, “Because RFK Jr. is a nut.”

“That’s different to what you just said,” Jennings replied, “You just said he doesn’t possess the requisite managerial experience, but then we get to the real issue here, which is you want to insult the man.”

Jennings then went on to argue that public trust in the health authorities was “as low as it’s ever been,” leading fellow commentator John Avion to ask, “But why?”

“Because of COVID! Because of school closures. Because of mask mandates,” Jennings answered. “Because this country was drugged through a bunch of condescending and heavy-handed mandates that all turned out to be garbage. And that’s why it’s low and the questions are valid.”

There was widespread praise for Jennings when the clip went viral.

There was also a lot of support for RFK Jr.

Illinois Gov. Confirms He’ll Try to Block Trump Immigration Agenda

The Democrat Gov. of Illinois pledged to block red state National Guard troops from carrying out raids against illegal immigration, saying it’s “just not something we’re going accept.”

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is one of several blue state leaders who’ve created the “Governors Safeguarding Democracy” (GSD) alliance in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan as border czar has (fortunately) not helped to ease Democrat tension over the forthcoming administration’s plans to tackle illegal immigration. In fact, they’re more scared than ever before to see law and order enforced.

Illinois has one of the highest populations of illegal immigrants in the country, according to data from the Pew Research Center. It ranked 6th nationwide in 2022, with 400,000 illegal aliens making up around 5% of the state’s overall population. Government estimates of illegal aliens tend to be massive underestimates. For example, as the federal government estimated “only” 11 million illegals living in the U.S., one Yale study had the figure double that – and this was before the Biden administration and the border crisis that followed.

Pritzker defended the GSD alliance, referring to a recent 60 Minutes interview with Homan where he touched on the return of workplace raids. The Illinois Gov. said: “We also just want to make sure there isn’t a violation of people’s rights with raids that are done in coordination [with] local law enforcement. We think that’s improper and in Illinois, that’s not something that we would condone.”

One social media user noted Pritzker’s apparent shift in tone towards illegal aliens, having previously pleaded Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop sending illegals to his state.

As was reported at the time:

Pritzker took out a full-page ad in the Austin American-Statesman newspaper, publishing a letter he sent to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The letter urges Abbott to stop sending migrants to Chicago. 

“The next few days are a threat to the families and children you are sending here. I am pleading with you to at least pause these transports in order to save lives,” Pritzker wrote to his Texas counterpart. “I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state.”

He used winter as an excuse – but never expressed any enthusiasm for taking in those illegals during any other seasons.

Others were convinced that preventing National Guard troops from conducting enforcement would cut federal funding to the state.

There were also questions as to whether Pritzker’s opposition conflicted with the view of the country, and his state.

Joe Rogan Says Kamala Harris Skipped Podcast Appearance Over Marijuana Legislation

The latter stages of the election campaign centered around popular podcast host Joe Rogan.

The UFC commentator’s show became a hotbed of discussion; first, rumors swirled around a potential appearance by Donald Trump, who confirmed the rumors himself before later appearing on the show. An appearance from JD Vance followed shortly after. Given Rogan’s immense popularity among young male voters, talk of Kamala Harris appearing on the podcast – reportedly filmed in a chosen location with strict covenants on time limits – soon began to emerge.

The Rogan/Harris crossover never came to fruition, and we’re getting more details as to why. Initially, Harris made absurd demands, such as requiring Rogan to come to her for the interview, and having it shortened to only an hour.

Rogan has since revealed more details about the non-interview, most recently that Harris didn’t want to talk about marijuana legalization on the air, likely because it would be easy to highlight her hypocrisy on the issue.

Harris claimed in the latter days of her campaign to support marijuana legalization, posting that “No one should go to jail for smoking weed” in announcing that stance on social media. Rogan, an advocate for recreational marijuana, seemed to be the perfect place for a Democrat nominee promising that.

However, Rogan confirmed that marijuana was among the topics she wanted off the table in discussions prior to the interview-that-never-was. He said:

“They had, I don’t know how many conversations with my folks, but multiple conversations giving different dates, different times, different this, different that, and we knew that she was going to be in Texas, so I said, ‘open invitation.’ I think they had requirements on things that she didn’t want to talk about, she didn’t want to talk about marijuana legalization, which I thought was hilarious.”

Despite the issue being a core campaign pledge, Rogan added that Harris’ prosecuting record may have been a reason for wanting to avoid the debate. “She put a lot of people in jail for weed,” he added.

The decision came as a surprise to some on social media.

Others were more critical of the Harris campaign.

Politico Criticizes Pete Hegseth for Not Being Owned by Military Industrial Complex

Politico was one of the many media outlets to put Pete Hegseth’s appointment to Secretary of Defense on blast – as if any candidate would’ve been acceptable to them.

Like most left-wing outlets, Politico focused on Hegseth’s most recent role as a presenter on Fox & Friends Weekend, rather than his extensive military experience and education. He has served for 21 years, earning honors such as two Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals, a National Defense Service Medal, and a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal

In order to emphasize the view that Hegseth is not a suitable appointment, Politico interviewed two analysts, one of whom was granted anonymity. Hilariously, in their criticism of Hegseth, they gave him the best possible endorsement they could have in pointing out that he’s not owned by military contractors.

A section of the article read as follows:

One assessment was more blunt. “Who the fuck is this guy?” said a defense industry lobbyist who was granted anonymity to offer candid views. The lobbyist said they had hoped for “someone who actually has an extensive background in defense. That would be a good start.”

You read that right – they’re complaining that Hegseth isn’t a pawn of Raytheon and Halliburton!

It’s hard not to read things that this and feel like you’re going crazy – but you’re not, it’s those at Politico that have lost it.

A defense industry lobbyist is someone whose job is to actively promote the interests of the defense industry. Given their overwhelming incentives to advocate for war, they’re unlikely to be over-the-moon with Trump’s ambitions to end the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and promises for no more wars. Trump was the only modern president to not oversee any new wars during his tenure, and we didn’t lost a single soldier in Afghanistan his last (but not really last) 18-months in office.

Many on social media were delighted by the defense lobbyist’s disappointment.

Others noted Hegseth’s combat record.

Millions Celebrate As The Guardian Leaves X

The Guardian will no longer be posting its articles on X, the publication has announced.

The left-wing newspaper announced it would be leaving in the wake of the presidential election. It “reasoned”:

We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.

This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse.

X users will still be able to share our articles, and the nature of live news reporting means we will still occasionally embed content from X within our article pages.”

They failed to publish any posts to support its claim – a somewhat vital component of any compelling argument.

One user marked the occasion by mocking the “loss” and posting a thread of headlines from The Guardian that range from laugh-out-loud funny to “truly deranged” to “typed from a mental asylum” territory.

Read (and hopefully laugh) below:

And that’s just a sampling!

This idea was soon explored by others.

Community Notes were also suggested as a reason for the departure.

The news also caught the attention of platform owner Elon Musk.

Joy Reid Urges Progressive White Women Against Inviting Black Women To Anti-Trump Protest Marches

Joy Reid had her most outrageous liberal meltdown yet as the MSNBC broadcaster launched a racist rant surrounding protests following the 2024 Presidential Election.

Because she apparently can’t be crazy enough on MSNBC, Reid has a tendency to share even more radical beliefs on TikTok, always engaging in divisive tirades along racial lines. Her main attacks have been against President-elect Donald Trump, although she has recently shifted her attention to the bitterly defeated left to offer some godawful advice.

In one new video, Reid slammed White progressive women, warning them against inviting Black women to any anti-Trump protest marches.

“I’m just gonna tell you right now: They’re not coming,” she said. “I’m pretty sure Black women have resigned from the ‘save America’ coalition, ‘save democracy’ coalition, and definitely the ‘save the Democratic Party’ coalition.” Apparently Reid thinks a demographic that barely composes 6% of the U.S. population have been tasked with the role of “democracy defenders” – a role that seemingly requires doing nothing more than voting Democrat.

Reid then added, “I think Black women are now on the ‘save Black women,’ ‘prioritize Black men’ and ‘prioritize Black communities, Black businesses’ and, you know, the Black spaces. But ‘save America,’ ‘save the Democratic Party’ – yeah, I don’t think that’s happening.”

Many noted the racial division in Reid’s remarks.

Some also suggested Reid, among other mainstream media hosts, would become unemployed by the recent cultural shift back to the right. According to a 2024 Gallup poll, over a third (36%) of Americans have no confidence at all in the media, while another third (33%) have “not very much” confidence. Similarly, only 31% have a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media’s ability to “fully, accurately and fairly,” report the news, highlighting the extent of biased reporting.
