.@DanProft marked Veterans Day by highlighting resources available to veterans dealing with mobility challenges, whether from service-related injuries or simply aging. He was joined by Frank Wasilewski, CEO of Access, a company specializing in accessible home solutions like stair lifts, ramps, ceiling lifts, elevators, and wheelchair lifts, to discuss the company’s work with the veteran community.
Despite the Trump administration’s anti-fraud task force and high-profile efforts to claw back stolen taxpayer funds, the issue nonetheless broke against Republicans in the midterms, with voters for whom corruption was a top issue splitting 62-38 toward Democratic Socialist candidates. @DanProft welcomed @JohnFund, national affairs columnist for @NRO, to unpack why this corruption narrative resonated more than Trump’s own anti-fraud efforts.

Republicans in both chambers must act now to codify President Trump's executive actions and secure our conservative victories.
We must make every remaining day count!
@freedomcaucus has the plan.
Border Czar Mark Wayne Mullin, on Laura Ingraham’s show, rejected any suggestion of a stand-down order when Democrats take control of Congress in January. @DanProft welcomed Andrew Arthur, a resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies and a former immigration judge, to unpack the backlog and the Mullin interview.

The front pages of the Sun-Times and Tribune today.
The elections are over so, naturally, both newspapers return to their favorite hobbyhorse, bashing immigration enforcement.

President Trump thanks Veterans: .
"On Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying gratitude to every patriot who has answered the call of duty. We pay tribute to all who have worn the uniform, who have faced the enemy, who have born the burdens of fate and destiny to stand as our protection in battle."

Excellent piece on voter fraud.
As I've been saying for some time, the system is the fraud. Therefore, as @CynicalPublius rightly argues, the GOP needs to operate within the system to foreclose on the aspects of the system (which varies from state-to-state) that throw the doors open to manipulations.

President Trump places a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day.
Reports are linking Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to an alleged Chinese intelligence operative, and there is growing scrutiny over whether Huang’s public denials square with what U.S. intelligence reportedly knew. @DanProft was joined by @ScottTheCowGuy, market specialist for Market Day Report and host of The Cow Guy Close on RFD-TV, to assess the fallout.

.@JonahDispatch's post-election piece at @TheDispatch argued that Tuesday’s results amounted to a referendum on the “new right.” @DanProft was joined by journalist @ScottMGreer, host of a podcast and author of “White Pill: The Online Right and the Making of Trump’s America,” to respond.

Congratulations to Jim Jordan on being elected House Republican Leader!
I look forward to working alongside Jim as he leads our conference and stands firm for our conservative principles in the next Congress. 🇺🇸
.@DanProft welcomed @GlennonMarkE, founder of @Wirepoints, to discuss the difference in governance between Illinois and states like Florida and Wisconsin.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley described her planned investigative targets in the new Congress: “I have constituents who died in ICE custody simply for a toothache, an infection that went untreated, and their body went into sepsis and they died… it’s not even just what happened to Emanuel Deas or what happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. It’s the black women pushed out of the workforce… People are choosing between getting to work and groceries because of the cost of gas, because of this unauthorized war… we are going to hold them accountable for what I consider really to be crimes against humanity.” @DanProft welcomed newly elected Congressman @RepLaShawnFord, who will represent the seat vacated by Danny Davis’s retirement, to see whether he’d pursue similar rhetoric.

Well, folks, today would have been my son Mac’s 36th birthday.
It felt fitting to release Graceful Warrior today, on his birthday. This book tells the story of our family’s journey through some of life’s most difficult moments, and the faith, hope, and love that carried us through. My hope is that somewhere in these pages, someone facing their own difficult season might find a little encouragement, strength, or comfort. If this book can help even one person, then sharing our story will have been worth it.
Thank you to everyone who preordered the book, shared kind words, and supported me throughout this journey. It means more than I can say.
Graceful Warrior is available now wherever books are sold. I hope you’ll pick up a copy. And the audio book is available also. I recorded it this past summer.
Happy birthday, Mac. We love you and miss you every day.

I don't doubt the intelligence Kennedy references. We know Iran has ballistic missiles that can reach Germany.
The question is, if Kennedy is free to say this out loud why didn't Trump do the same for the past 7 months?
