Recently, Republican Rep. Tim Burchett appeared on Benny Johnson’s show, where he dropped an absolute bombshell about the thousands of pardons that Joe Biden (or whoever was controlling his autopen) signed off on in the final days of his presidency. According to Rep. Burchett, the Biden administration handed out pardons in exchange for cash. He also blew the cover off of Washington kickbacks from foreign aid, claiming that nearly 100% of the $5 billion we gave to NGOs in the past few years was funneled back into the pockets of D.C. politicians. Tonight, President Trump appeared to confirm Rep. Burchett’s report, sharing it on his own Truth Social page.

Rep. Tim Burchett said people are getting rich off these pardons and that most NGO cash flows right back into Washington D.C. “8,000 freaking pardons? He couldn’t remember where the dadgum bathroom was and he reviewed 8,000 files on pardons? Give me a freaking break. This is so shady.” “There’s a thousand NGOs and you know good and well that that money’s coming right back to Washington.” Thank you for sharing @POTUS Rep. Burchett responded: BOOM! Thank you @bennyjohnson and @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/XfuN0wjBsD — Tim Burchett (@timburchett) November 24, 2025 This is absolutely insane. We always knew D.C. was a swamp, but when you hear it all laid out like that, it’s still incredibly shocking. Earlier this year, DOGE exposed USAID for what it was and got the agency dismantled. We need to see more of that happening, and hopefully, President Trump is teasing exactly that by ‘re-truthing’ Rep. Burchett’s report. In addition, all of Biden’s pardons should be voided, and those who orchestrated them held accountable. It’s time to take action! This is spot-on: We need to start moving forward with nullifying these pardons. It should be one of our top priorities. We can’t afford to not follow through on things we say we’re going to do. — The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) November 24, 2025 Your thoughts?  

Right now, Marco Rubio and other U.S. officials are in Geneva negotiating on President Trump’s 28-point peace plan to finally end the Russia-Ukraine war. But, in Washington, President Trump’s plan is getting a lot of criticism. For instance, Democrat Sen. Mark Warner is making some very extreme comparisons. War hawks like Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell are also not happy with the plan. Per Politico: Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said Sunday morning that the Trump administration’s 28-point plan for peace between Russia and Ukraine “would go down, frankly, as a historically bad deal, rivaling Neville Chamberlain giving in to Hitler before World War II.” Warner, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream that he fears the plan could embolden Chinese leader Xi Jinping to pursue an invasion of Taiwan if accepted, blasting the proposal as “a total capitulation by Ukraine.”… The plan has attracted criticism from some of the GOP’s top Russia hawks, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), who are pushing the Trump administration to rethink the proposal. “Those who think pressuring the victim and appeasing the aggressor will bring peace are kidding themselves,” McConnell posted on X on Sunday afternoon. Once again, something President Trump is doing to improve the world is proving controversial in Washington. Imagine that. And, Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt just explained the real reason why. In an appearance on Fox News, Sen. Schmitt delivered the most solid, down-to-earth defense of President Trump’s plan I’ve heard yet. He directly targeted the war machine and military industrial complex for trying to sink President Trump’s peace attempts in order to keep the war raging on. In reality, it’s President Trump who is being a realist here, and actually working to achieve peace that maintains Ukraine’s sovereignty while preventing further conflict with Russia. Watch for yourself: Backup here if needed: BREAKING: Sen.

Eric Schmitt is CALLING OUT the war machine and military industrial complex for trying to SINK President Trump’s Russia-Ukraine war peace plan “They live in this fantasy world that another round of sanctions or another round of weapons or another round of cash is going to solve the problem, and it WON’T!” “The Washington consensus has been so WRONG about this, for so long, and they’ve been wrong about a lot of things over the last 30 years!” “President Trump approaches this as a realist. You take the world as it is, not how you want it to be, not how you wish it would be, but actually how it is.” “A lot of people won’t say it, the Ukrainians have been losing for a long time. They’ve lost 20% of their territory. They have a manpower problem. They have a munitions problem.” “I think what President Trump is trying to accomplish is maintain Ukrainian sovereignty, make sure there’s a pathway to rebuild the country, and also lessen the likelihood that this will ever happen again.” “And so they put forward a proposal, a framework, Secretary of State Rubio, the Secretary of the Army Driscoll, they’re all in Geneva right now working with the Ukrainians, working with the Europeans to try to get to some consensus here on the 28 points.” “I would say that most of those, at least half of those, have been talked about for a long time and there’s a lot of agreement.” “So you’ve to narrow the gap now and try to get to a place where you recognize the realities on the ground.” @Eric_Schmitt Spot on, Sen. Schmitt. One of the key points of the plan would have Ukraine cede the Donbas region to Russia, which a lot of people don’t want to see happen. However, this concession may be essential to prevent countless further deaths, and it’s certainly better than Ukraine itself ceasing to exist. As Sen. Schmitt said, you have to be realistic here, and Ukraine hasn’t been doing so well for quite awhile. A few other interesting points of the peace plan include allowing Ukraine to apply for EU membership and holding an election (where Zelensky could be ousted) within 100 days of the end of the war. For reference, Axios published all 28-points of the peace plan: 1. Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed. 2. A comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine and Europe. All ambiguities of the last 30 years will be considered settled. 3. It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries and NATO will not expand further. 4. A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States, to resolve all security issues and create conditions for de-escalation in order to ensure global security and increase opportunities for cooperation and future economic development. 5. Ukraine will receive reliable security guarantees. Update: A separate document details the terms of the security guarantee. The U.S. and its NATO allies would treat an attack on Ukraine as an attack on the entire “transatlantic community.” 6. The size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be limited to 600,000 personnel. Note: Ukraine’s army currently has 800,000-850,000 personnel, and had around 250,000 beforethe war, according to a Ukrainian official. 7. Ukraine agrees to enshrine in its constitution that it will not join NATO, and NATO agrees to include in its statutes a provision that Ukraine will not be admitted in the future. 8. NATO agrees not to station troops in Ukraine. Note: NATO countries including France and the U.K. have been working on separate proposals that would include small numbers of European troops on Ukrainian soil after the war. This plan appears to disregard that possibility. 9. European fighter jets will be stationed in Poland. 10. The U.S. guarantee: The U.S. will receive compensation for the guarantee; If Ukraine invades Russia, it will lose the guarantee; If Russia invades Ukraine, in addition to a decisive coordinated military response, all global sanctions will be reinstated, recognition of the new territory and all other benefits of this deal will be revoked; If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid. 11. Ukraine is eligible for EU membership and will receive short-term preferential access to the European market while this issue is being considered. 12. A powerful global package of measures to rebuild Ukraine, including but not limited to: The creation of a Ukraine Development Fund to invest in fast-growing industries, including technology, data centers, and artificial intelligence. The United States will cooperate with Ukraine to jointly rebuild, develop, modernize, and operate Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, including pipelines and storage facilities. Joint efforts to rehabilitate war-affected areas for the restoration, reconstruction and modernization of cities and residential areas. Infrastructure development. Extraction of minerals and natural resources. The World Bank will develop a special financing package to accelerate these efforts. 13. Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy: The lifting of sanctions will be discussed and agreed upon in stages and on a case-by-case basis. The United States will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centers, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities. Russia will be invited to rejoin the G8. 14. Frozen funds will be used as follows: $100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine; The US will receive 50% of the profits from this venture. Europe will add $100 billion to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen. The remainder of the frozen Russian funds will be invested in a separate US-Russian investment vehicle that will implement joint projects in specific areas. This fund will be aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict. 15. A joint American-Russian working group on security issues will be established to promote and ensure compliance with all provisions of this agreement. 16. Russia will enshrine in law its policy of non-aggression towards Europe and Ukraine. 17. The United States and Russia will agree to extend the validity of treaties on the non-proliferation and control of nuclear weapons, including the START I Treaty. Note: New START, the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty, is due to expire in February. 18. Ukraine agrees to be a non-nuclear state in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. 19. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant will be launched under the supervision of the IAEA, and the electricity produced will be distributed equally between Russia and Ukraine — 50:50. 20. Both countries undertake to implement educational programs in schools and society aimed at promoting understanding and tolerance of different cultures and eliminating racism and prejudice: Ukraine will adopt EU rules on religious tolerance and the protection of linguistic minorities. Both countries will agree to abolish all discriminatory measures and guarantee the rights of Ukrainian and Russian media and education. (Note: Similar ideas were incorporated into Trump’s 2020 Israel-Palestine peace plan). All Nazi ideology and activities must be rejected and prohibited. 21. Territories: Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk will be recognized as de facto Russian, including by the United States. Kherson and Zaporizhzhia will be frozen along the line of contact, which will mean de facto recognition along the line of contact. Russia will relinquish other agreed territories it controls outside the five regions. Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the part of Donetsk Oblast that they currently control, and this withdrawal zone will be considered a neutral demilitarized buffer zone, internationally recognized as territory belonging to the Russian Federation. Russian forces will not enter this demilitarized zone. 22. After agreeing on future territorial arrangements, both the Russian Federation and Ukraine undertake not to change these arrangements by force. Any security guarantees will not apply in the event of a breach of this commitment. 23. Russia will not prevent Ukraine from using the Dnieper River for commercial activities, and agreements will be reached on the free transport of grain across the Black Sea. 24. A humanitarian committee will be established to resolve outstanding issues: All remaining prisoners and bodies will be exchanged on an ‘all for all’ basis. All civilian detainees and hostages will be returned, including children. A family reunification program will be implemented. Measures will be taken to alleviate the suffering of the victims of the conflict. 25. Ukraine will hold elections in 100 days. 26. All parties involved in this conflict will receive full amnesty for their actions during the war and agree not to make any claims or consider any complaints in the future. 27. This agreement will be legally binding. Its implementation will be monitored and guaranteed by the Peace Council, headed by President Donald J. Trump. Sanctions will be imposed for violations. Note: This is the same general structure Trump proposed to govern the Gaza peace agreement. 28. Once all parties agree to this memorandum, the ceasefire will take effect immediately after both sides retreat to agreed points to begin implementation of the agreement. Now, it’s also important to note that President Trump says this is not his final offer. Negotiations are ongoing, and Ukraine has until Thursday to agree to a plan. The New York Times provided the latest update: Ukrainian and American officials said they had made good progress on Sunday in talks about a contentious U.S. plan to end the war with Russia, even as President Trump lashed out at Ukraine, accusing its leaders of ingratitude. Mr. Trump has set a deadline of Thursday for Ukraine to agree to the 28-point peace plan, an early draft of which many Ukrainians dismissed as capitulation because it acceded to longstanding Kremlin demands. The talks, which began in Geneva on Sunday, were cast as an effort to bridge the gaps, and in a joint statement released after the discussions, Ukraine and the United States both said that much had been accomplished. “They reaffirmed that any future agreement must fully uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver a sustainable and just peace,” the statement read. “As a result of the discussions, the parties drafted an updated and refined peace framework.” The statement added that “Ukraine and the United States agreed to continue intensive work on joint proposals in the coming days.” Earlier in the day, Mr. Rubio said the American and Ukrainian teams were working through the peace plan point by point and making adjustments, “narrowing the differences and getting closer to something” that both Kyiv and Washington would be “comfortable with.”

It appears that President Trump is on the verge of announcing a new, better healthcare plan to replace the disaster that is Obamacare. Shortly after signing the funding bill to re-open the government, President Trump went off on Obamacare. He called for money to be given directly to the people, which they can use to buy their own cheaper insurance, rather than to the insurance companies. For reference, here’s that clip: Backup here: BREAKING: In a massive development, President Trump is expected to announce the “HEALTHCARE PRICE CUTS ACT” as soon as TOMORROW to fix the broken Obamacare subsidy system that gives billions to Big Insurance.

He has officially CORNERED the Democrats on Obamacare. They will now defend Big, Rich Insurance. The bill would halt Obamacare premium spikes, per MSNOW. The plan reportedly includes a DEPOSIT mechanism, putting money into a Health Savings Account, incentivizing lower-premium options. It would also end the premium hikes, end zero-premium subsidies, and STOP massive fraud known as “ghost beneficiaries.” Trump recently said: “I am calling today for insurance companies NOT to be paid. But for this massive amount of money be paid DIRECTLY to the people so they can buy their own healthcare!” “We will pay a lot of money to the people, and FORGET this Obamacare madness!” And now, in a very big update, President Trump is reportedly expected to announce a general framework for his healthcare plan. This could happen as soon as tomorrow (Monday, November 24th.) With ACA subsidies set to expire at the end of the year, President Trump’s plan offers a solution that would not only help a lot of Americans tremendously but puts Democrats in a tough spot. In theory, giving money directly to Americans rather than big insurance companies shouldn’t be a partisan issue… But knowing Democrats (and who they get a lot of their donations from), it’s bound to be. MS Now reported: President Donald Trump is expected to announce, as early as Monday, a general framework to address health care costs, calling on Congress to send a bill to his desk that would halt Affordable Care Act premium spikes, according to two White House officials familiar with the plans. The announcement is expected to occur at the White House, and is slated to feature remarks from Trump and Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to both officials. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., were expected to be briefed on the plan Sunday afternoon, one of the White House officials said. The proposal comes at a tricky time for the president and the Republican Party. With Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies set to expire at year’s end — causing massive cost spikes for nearly 22 million Americans and the introduction last week of a separate bipartisan proposal from House members for a two-year extension of Obamacare subsidies — there is a sense of urgency for Trump to put forward his own plan, the officials said. Trump’s proposal, which could change, represents the president’s first substantive policy initiative on health care since the start of the government shutdown in which Democrats demanded that Congress act to extend ACA subsidies set to expire at the end of this year. In exchange for reopening the government, Senate Republicans agreed to hold a mid-December vote on extending the subsidies. But there’s no guarantee that the vote will succeed in either chamber. This is very good news for the American people, and very bad news for Big Insurance. It will be interesting to see which side Democrats back…  

Some Republicans in Florida appear to not be a fan of Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill!” polices. Well at least they don’t like Trump’s drilling polices in their own back yard. Both state and federal lawmakers are concerned the Trump admin’s new drilling maps of sites in the Gulf of America may cause problems for many Floridian’s. The Hill reported on Florida’s Republicans break with the Trump admin when it comes to drilling sites: Florida Republicans are fuming as the Trump administration proposes to open up new drilling in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. “The new maps released today by @SecretaryBurgum and @Interior outlining potential new offshore oil drilling sites in the Gulf of America are HIGHLY concerning—and we will be engaging directly with the department on this issue,” wrote Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) in a post on the social platform X. “Preserving our state’s natural beauty is deeply important to the millions who call the Sunshine State home, our visitors, and those whose livelihoods depend on tourism,” Moody wrote. The office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) also criticized the plan, noting that in 2020, President Trump blocked drilling off the state’s coasts. “Our Administration supports the 2020 Presidential Memorandum and urges the Department of Interior to reconsider and to conform to the 2020 Trump Administration policy,” Molly Best, a spokesperson for DeSantis, said in a statement to The Hill. It’s a rare rift between the state’s Republicans and Trump, who made the state his primary residence in 2019. While his Mar-a-Lago resort is situated on the state’s east coast on the Atlantic Ocean, drilling in the eastern gulf would be more likely to impact the state’s west coast. On Thursday, the Trump administration proposed a massive expansion of U.S. offshore drilling, which would include opening up new drilling in the eastern gulf, as well as in California. California is reliably blue but has a few swing districts where the issue could be a big one. Florida, by contrast, has gone from a swing state to reliably red, so the drilling issue is a rare break for some of its members with the president.

In 2018, 69% of Florida voters approved a ban on drilling for oil and gas in state waters. “When I first saw the Trump administration’s proposal, I wasn’t worried about where Florida would land on the issue. The two parties have always been dependable about keeping oil out and away from our shores,” said Jack Davis, author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the history of the Gulf of Mexico. The reason, in part, is the multibillion-dollar tourism industry that lures hundreds of millions of visitors to the state each year, Davis said. But there’s also a cultural reason: Floridians take pride in their beloved natural spaces. They understand that the economy and the environment are inextricably linked. Just look at how both political parties came together last year against the now-abandoned plans from the DeSantis administration to develop state parks, Davis said. “Florida, when it comes to protecting the environment, has had a fairly decent track record,” Davis said. “We deserve a pat on the back for the bipartisanship and being consistent with the issue.” Asked at a Friday news conference about the plan, DeSantis reiterated his hope that the Trump administration reverts to its 2020 order extending a moratorium on drilling in federal waters off Florida until 2032. Earlier this month, Republican Sen. Rick Scott reintroduced a measure that would codify that ban into law.

Blue states are not the only states with an illegal alien problem. The Department of Homeland Security last week announced it would send 250 federal immigration officers to Louisiana. The move by the DHS is part of the department’s new operation called Swamp Sweep. Here’s an inside look of Operation Swamp Sweep below: Here’s a backup video if needed: HOLY CRAP! The Trump administration is now surging HUNDREDS of federal agents into New Orleans to arrest and deport thousands of illegals Operation Swamp Sweep is officially beginning — and the locals will ASSIST, not impede. pic.twitter.com/275q6BZiok — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 23, 2025 WAPT reported DHS expects to arrest nearly 5,000 illegal aliens during the operation: Mississippi’s Republican governor and lone Democratic congressman are at odds over an impending large-scale immigration operation known as “Swamp Sweep,” which will send federal agents into Louisiana and Mississippi. The monthslong crackdown is set to begin Dec. 1 in southeast Louisiana, where officials in New Orleans are bracing for the arrival of as many as 250 federal agents. The operation has the backing of Louisiana’s Republican governor. Federal authorities have set a goal of arresting roughly 5,000 people across Louisiana and Mississippi. While most of the deployment will be staged out of New Orleans, the operation’s reach is expected to include parts of Mississippi, though federal officials have not released specific locations. “We support law and order in our state. If you are here legally, then you have nothing to worry about,” said Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves. “Obviously, they are going to headquarter that out of New Orleans, and there may be some carryover into Mississippi. We support the president’s efforts to keep law and order in our state.” U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, who represents Mississippi’s Second District, has been an outspoken opponent of the immigration crackdown. “Border Patrol agents have spent months going from city to city, terrorizing residents, racially profiling families, and even arresting U.S. citizens,” Thompson said in a statement. “Let me be crystal clear: they are neither wanted nor needed in Jackson or in Mississippi. Our communities are proud, resilient, and deeply rooted. We do not need a federal show of force that will undoubtedly put innocent people in harm’s way.” U.S. Rep. Michael Guest, a Republican who represents Mississippi’s Third District, said Border Patrol and ICE gents are tasked with following the nation’s immigration laws. “ICE has been successful in capturing and removing individuals charged and convicted of violent crimes, sex crimes, crimes against children, and those who pose a danger to our communities,” Guest said in a statement. “I am confident that Operation ‘Swamp Sweep’ will have the same success as other operations across our nation. This will result in locating, arresting, and deporting criminal illegal aliens who are residing in Mississippi.” The Republican Party of Louisiana is in support of the operation: “Swamp Sweep” coming to New Orleans December 1st! 250 Agents! 2 Months! 5,000 Criminals off our streets! pic.twitter.com/MnMgMmwwwv — Republican Party of Louisiana (@LAGOP) November 19, 2025 News Nation reported the operation is monumental: As Border Patrol prepares to head to Louisiana for its upcoming immigration operation, a former police lieutenant says an operation this size is “monumental.” “We have an unprecedented issue with illegal immigration, so that unfortunately means we require an unprecedented response to get it under control,” Randy Sutton, retired police lieutenant with the Las Vegas Police Department, told NewsNation. The upcoming immigration crackdown, called “Operation Swamp Sweep,” will be taking place in New Orleans. Sutton said he has heard from fellow law enforcement officers that Louisiana was chosen for the site of the next federal immigration operation because of its high crime rate, which they could correlate to illegal immigration. He says the city of New Orleans has also never cooperated with federal law enforcement in the past due to its sanctuary city status, which has led to the upcoming events. “The federal government is simply not taking it anymore, and they’re going after the illegal migrants,” Sutton said.
