"President-elect Donald Trump late Sunday announced former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director Tom Homan would serve as 'border czar' in his second administration, installing a key ally to enact a promised crack down at the southern border.

"Trump made the announcement on Truth Social and said Homan's responsibilities would include 'the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security.'

"Much of Trump's Day 1 agenda is likely to be focused on cracking down on immigration, and by appointing Homan, Trump is putting in place a staunch ally who has shown a willingness to carry out his orders."

"President Donald Trump is a generational political talent, and nothing should detract from his historic comeback win Tuesday. But those who believe the election was all about Trump and his charisma should pay attention to the outcomes of ballot measures, which reveal an electorate that rejects the leftward lurch of the era initiated and presided over by President Barack Obama. There is a clear signal of a desire to return to better, more conservative policy."

"Donald Trump pulled off the most improbable comeback in American political history Tuesday night, securing a likely return trip to the White House by beating back a relentless tide of media, Big Tech and Democrat opposition that stretched from the courthouse to the social media sphere.

"Trump was poised to become only the second American president to secure non-consecutive terms but he did so against far greater odds than Grover Cleveland a century earlier after being impeached and acquitted twice, indicted four times, facing two assassination attempts and enduring an avalanche of lawfare unparalleled in the nation's history.

"But even more consequential than his personal journey to President-Elect 47, Trump engineered a once-in-a-generation political realignment, one more deep and pervasive than his 2016 shocker as he peeled away long-rooted constituencies from the Democrat Party."

"One could be forgiven for not noticing, but Vice President Kamala Harris did make her campaign's closing argument speech Tuesday night in Washington, D.C. To be fair, the little notice it received is not entirely her fault, for as she was making her remarks to a big crowd, President Joe Biden was making his own remarks, calling all Trump supporters 'garbage,' which drew everyone's attention away from Harris.

"Harris's speech nevertheless deserves attention. This is not because it was an exception but because it was an entirely pedestrian and unexceptional dribble of words that could have been given by any other Democrat in the last 100 years. That is a key problem with Harris's bid for the White House.

"Like many other Democrats before her, Harris promised to 'seek common ground and commonsense solutions.' She claimed she was 'not looking to score political points.' To that end, and this is the really weird and troubling part, she promised to end 'division, chaos, and mutual distrust' by pledging 'to listen to experts.'

"Democrats have yearned for, promised, and attempted government by the experts since at least as far back as the Woodrow Wilson administration. From President Franklin Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration to President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society to President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan, Democrats have relied on experts to make more and more economic and social policy decisions. This has been done at the expense of citizens, at the expense of democracy, and for more than 100 years, the results have been disastrous."

"As one of the most contentious presidential elections in history heads to the wire, Washington, D.C.'s newest tourist attraction has just opened, and its focus on civic education cannot come at a more critical time. America's billion-dollar presidential campaigns remain one of the wrold's great spectacles, increasingly stoking partisan fury, civil discord, and simple yet poisonous un-neighborliness (like stealing yard signs). To both sides, this is the most dangerous election in American history, comparable to the fateful 1860 campaign that preceded the American Civil War. Whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins, half the country will believe the end is nigh.

"At this perfervid moment, then, the opening of  'The People's House: A White House Experience' is a welcome step back from the heated political climate. Designed to reveal the history and life inside the wrold's most famous home, 'The People's House' is a 33,000-square-foot educational center that explains the functioning of the Executive Mansion while humanizing the First Families who have lived there and the people who have worked behind the scenes. A project of the White House Historical Association, the interactive multimedia center is debuting in perhaps the most fraught election campaign in modern times. If Americans are going to relearn to debate politics instead of yelling, harassing, and shooting each other, then the lessons of democracy taught through the educational exhibits at the White House Experience may be central to that effort."

"We have no doubt that, in the years to come, the media will describe the Biden-Harris administration as 'scandal-free.' But that's only because for the past four years they've vigorously ignored any and all scandals.

"Case in point is the $15 billion giveaway that Biden-Harris snuck through this summer without a single hearing, vote, or advance notice, in an attempt to buy seniors' votes. Followed up by a campaign email to these same seniors on behalf of Kamala Harris, also paid for by taxpayers.

"Is any of this legal? Who cares, if it helps Harris win in November? At least, that's how the mainstream press is treating this scandal.

"Here's the background."

"The recent media blitz led by ex-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly as he tried to tie former President Trump to Adolf Hitler has certainly gotten a good bit of attention.

"I suppose that's what media blitzes are for.

"And I imagine the Kamala Harris campaign is very pleased with Kelly's participation in their closing argument to the 2024 race.

"I will leave the politics to others.

"I see Kelly's comments through a different lens -- as one of only three other people in the entire world who have roughly the same perspective on the Trump White House as Gen. Kelly does.

"From that perspective, I was shocked and disappointed by the course of action he has chosen to follow."

"The Chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) weaponized the agency against Elon Musk's Twitter, according to a House Judiciary report provided exclusively to the Daily Caller.

"Biden-appointed FTC Chair Lina Khan introduced a consent decree against the platform due to Musk's acquisition, according to the report, although Khan denied that was the reason. However, the FTC was considering potentially enforcing the consent decree in the years preceding Musk's acquisition -- but Khan 'called for an immediate vite' days after the deal was announced, documents show."

"The Biden administration's Department of Justice is suing states and towns across the country in an effort to thwart election integrity measures ahead of the presidential election, resulting in pushback from election integrity advocates.

"The DOJ has sued Virginia, Alabama, and rural Wisconsin towns over the removal of non-citizens from voter rolls and switching to only paper ballots and hand-counting. Some of the jurisdictions are fighting back, arguing that they are following the law as they work to ensure election integrity.

"The Justice Department sued Virginia earlier this month over removing non-citizens from its rolls ahead of the Nov. 5 elections. A federal judge in Virginia on Friday ordered the commonwealth to place non-citizens back on its voter rolls. The judge ruled that removing the registered voters from the rolls violated federal law, WRIC reported."

"Democrats have denied that their serial attempts to imprison former President Donald Trump and a long list of his former aides, political allies and supporters amount to an illegal campaign of political lawfare. But how else do you describe President Joe Biden's shocking demand this week that 'we gotta lock him (Donald Trump) up'?

"f course, immediately after saying it, Biden even in his attenuated mental state realized he had said something horribly wrong. So he backtracked, auto-erased his initial comment and said, 'politically lock him up.' Which of course is a non-sequitur.

"Lock him up for what? Does it really matter? As the Queen said in Alice In Wonderland, 'Sentence first -- verdict afterwards!' Biden and his allies just want Trump to go away. For a long time, if possible."
