Did you go Black Friday shopping? I have to admit I didn’t because I’m more of a Cyber Monday guy myself. The White House has just announced Black Friday sales are the highest the United States has ever seen. The announcement was made by the White House National Economic Council Director who revealed income increases under President trump has led to more American’s spending more on Black Friday. The Daily Wire reported more in-depth on National Economic Council Director’s comments: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett raved about the holiday sales already underway as he told Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy that Americans had just delivered “the best Black Friday that we’ve ever seen.” Hassett explained on “Fox & Friends: Weekend” that the end of the government shutdown had likely inspired a boost in consumer confidence as the holidays approached — and argued that wage growth under President Donald Trump compared to during former President Joe Biden’s administration was also likely playing a role in getting consumers through the doors. “The fact is that we just had the best Black Friday that we’ve ever seen,” Hassett began. “And it’s not just because people are out there, you know, taking debt on their credit cards. It’s because incomes are way up under President Trump. They dropped about $3000 a person, $6000 a family, under Joe Biden and it’s up $1500 a person so far this year.” “And with all that extra money, and with the government shutdown over so that people feel comfortable going back to stores, we’re seeing a really blow-out Thanksgiving and Christmas coming our way,” he continued. “I think all the retailers expect that both online and in-store sales are going to be the highest we’ve ever seen — and the point is that’s happening even though inflation is way, way down under President Trump, you know it was 5-10% under Biden and right now it’s running at about 2.5%, and it’s not — it’s way lower than wage growth, so people’s incomes are going up by way more than inflation and that’s why we’re seeing these blowout sales.” Watch Hassett here: Backup here if needed: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett: “We just had the best Black Friday that we’ve ever seen… Retailers expect that both online and in-store sales are going to be the highest we’ve ever seen.” pic.twitter.com/nqSelzFbfj — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 30, 2025 CBS News reported online black Friday sales were up too: Adobe Analytics, which tracks e-commerce, said U.S. consumers spent a record $11.8 billion online Friday, marking a 9.1% jump from last year.

She said all of these things precisely, and without question — IT’S ON TAPE! Do not take this Race for granted.

When undecided voters are asked which candidate they lean toward, Van Epps’ overall support increases to 49%, and Behn to 47%. “The special election in Tennessee’s 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “Those who report voting early break for Behn, 56% to 42%, whereas those who plan to vote on Election Day break for Van Epps, 51% to 39%. Voters under 40 are Behn’s strongest group, 64% of whom support her, while Van Epps’ vote increases with age, to 61% of those over 70.” “There is also a stark gender divide; men break for Van Epps by nine points, 51% to 42%, whereas women break for Behn by six, 50% to 44%,” Kimball added. Behn and Van Epps each have a 47% favorable rating among voters, and a 41% unfavorable rating. “Similar to the gender divide on the ballot test, 54% of women have a favorable view of Behn, compared to 41% of men, and 52% of men have a favorable view of Van Epps, and 42% of women have a favorable view of Van Epps,” Kimball noted.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has responded to President Trump calling him a “retard.” In a Thanksgiving message on Truth Social President Trump called Governor Tim Walz a “retard” over his relaxed immigration polices. Trump wrote, ““Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’.” He added, “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing.” Take a look: President Trump just called Tim Walz “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota” Happy Thanksgiving pic.twitter.com/byyx8dbBjW — ALX (@alx) November 28, 2025 Walz’s has now responded to Trump’s comments, per Politico: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) pushed back Sunday on President Donald Trump’s claim that Somali refugees are “completely taking over” Minnesota after Trump drew widespread criticism for his attacks on Walz. Walz said in a Sunday morning interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press” that being insulted by Trump was “a badge of honor” after he became the subject of a Thanksgiving eve social media post in which the president cited “the refugee burden” as “the leading cause of social dysfunction in America.” “As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone.” He added: “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both,” while also taking swings at progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), criticizing her Muslim faith and speculating falsely that she may have entered the country illegally. “We have fought three decades to get this out of our school. Kids know better than to use it,” Walz told Welker. “But look, this is what Donald Trump has done. He’s normalized this type of hateful behavior and this type of language. And mainly, look, at first, I think it’s just because he’s not a good human being, but secondly to distract from his incompetency.” Watch Walz here: Tim Walz says President Trump calling him “seriously retarded” is a “badge of honor” pic.twitter.com/L7euRWBN0o — ALX (@alx) November 30, 2025 The New York Post reported more on Trump and Walz’s back and forth comments: President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” — and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” — in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration. Trump, 79, hurled the insult as he accused Walz, who had been Kamala Harris’ running mate in her failed presidential election bid, of allowing an influx of hundreds of thousands of Somali migrants to take over his “once great state.” “Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” he wrote in the blistering late-night Truth Social post. “The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.” Trump also zeroed in on Minnesota progressive Omar, describing her as the “worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our country” who is “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab.” He then accused the Somalian-born lawmaker of “probably came into the USA illegally.” Walz responded to Trump’s vicious attack by questioning the president’s own mental state. “Release the MRI results,” Walz wrote on X, referring to the results of Trump’s latest medical checkup, which he touted at the time as “perfect.”

A couple months ago, NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was campaigning on the promise of giving everyone free stuff if he won the election. Well now, he’s done a complete 180-flip! Over the past few weeks, he’s been begging his supporters for money to fund his “transition” into the mayorship. Somewhat surprisingly, he’s got a lot of people to give him money, already having raised a whopping $2 million! But, apparently, that isn’t enough because Mamdani just released a new video doubling down and asking his supporters to give him even more. Watch here: Backup here, if needed: A message for you this chili Sunday afternoon: pic.twitter.com/ziYQMuMTKl — Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@ZohranKMamdani) November 30, 2025 In case you’re curious as to exactly how much money Mamdani is seeking to milk out of his supporters, it looks like he’s only halfway to his goal. ABC 7 NY reported: New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has now raised $2 million for his transition — halfway to his goal of $4 million by his inauguration. Mamdani has raised the money in less than 20 days, putting him well on track to reaching his goal. On Nov. 16, he announced during an interview with Bill Ritter that his transition had raised more than $1 million. He then followed it up by setting the goal of $4 million by Jan. 1. Mamdani has said the transition is not relying on “wealthy donors,” like previous administrations. The money will pay his staff and advisers to the incoming administration and go through the more than 70,000 resumes received so far. “With more than 25,000 individual donors and an average donation of $75, the people-powered Mamdani transition is building an administration that reflects the values and vision of New York City. These contributions will help us recruit top talent that is ready to get to work on January 1st and begin delivering on the affordability agenda that over 1 million New Yorkers voted for,” said Elana Leopold, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani transition executive director. What’s it called when someone vows to do one thing when they get elected, then suddenly pulls the rug out from under his voters and does the exact opposite thing? Oh right, a scam.

President Donald Trump declined to lay out a timeline on his administration’s planned pause on offers of asylum regarding 19 countries “of concern.” Trump defended the pause — but did not say when he might relax it — while speaking with reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday. The president said that the United States is better off without accepting refugees from the targeted countries. The 19 countries “of concern” included in the asylum pause are Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. “We don’t want people. We have enough problems. We don’t want those people,” the president said. “You know why we don’t want them? Because many have been no good, and they shouldn’t be in our country.” Asylum claims that will be blocked under the order are from countries that are “not friendly to us and countries that are out of control themselves–countries like Somalia that have virtually no government, no military, no police. All they do is go around killing each other, then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country,” said Trump. The president pointed to the case of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who has long been suspected of committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother. The president suggested that Omar married her brother to illegally immigrate to the United States, and that if the accusation is true, Omar should be thrown “the hell out of our country.” Omar has previously denied those claims. Trump first announced the pause on accepting asylum claims from 19 countries in a pair of posts on Truth Social on Thanksgiving Day. The president added that he plans to investigate and remove foreigners who are not citizens residing in the United States who are not a “net asset” to the country. “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization,” said Trump.

'They were protecting people'

REUTERS—U.S. authorities believe the Afghan immigrant accused of ambushing National Guard members in Washington, D.C., was not radicalized until after he came to the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Sunday. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and ABC’s “This Week,” Noem said authorities think alleged shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal was already living in Washington state when he became radicalized. Investigators are seeking more information from family members and others, Noem said. .@Sec_Noem on the National Guards attacker: "We believe he was radicalized since he has been here in this country. We do believe that it was through connections in his home community and state… Unvetted by Joe Biden, allowed to run free." pic.twitter.com/6X2YtMMmTl— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 30, 2025 Authorities identified Lakanwal, 29, as the suspect in a Wednesday shooting that took place just blocks away from the White House and which killed one National Guard member and critically wounded another. After the shooting, President Donald Trump’s administration pointed to a lack of vetting of Afghans and other foreign nationals during the term of former President Joe Biden, although Lakanwal was granted asylum under Trump. Trump told reporters on Sunday his administration could pause asylum admissions into the United States for an extended period. “No time limit, but it could be a long time,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “We have enough problems. We don’t want those people.” .@POTUS on reverse migration: "It means get people OUT that in are in our country — get them out of here. I want to get them out. We got a lot of people in our country that shouldn't be here and they came in through Biden… We're paying a big price for it." pic.twitter.com/a7fMfjOugP— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 30, 2025 Lakanwal entered the U.S. in 2021 as part of the Biden administration’s mass evacuation of Afghans who aided U.S. forces during the two-decade war in Afghanistan as the Taliban took power. He was granted asylum in April by Trump’s administration, a government file reviewed by Reuters showed. Noem’s comments suggest Lakanwal, who was part of a CIA-backed unit in Afghanistan, may have embraced extremism after arriving in the United States. “We believe he was radicalized since he’s been here in this country,” Noem told NBC News. “We do believe it was through connections in his home community and state, and we’re going to continue to talk to those who interacted with him, who were his family members.” Noem said U.S. officials have received “some participation” so far from people who knew Lakanwal and warned the U.S. would pursue anyone connected to the shooting. “Anyone who has the information on this needs to know that we will be coming after you, and we will bring you to justice,” Noem said. After Wednesday’s attack, the Trump administration took steps to clamp down on some legal immigration, including a freeze on processing of all asylum applications. "Will you deport people with pending asylum claims?"@Sec_Noem: "We will if they should be, absolutely. Yes. We are going to go through every single person that has a pending asylum claim." pic.twitter.com/3puyEdIopl— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) November 30, 2025 Noem said on Sunday immigration officials would consider deporting people with active asylum cases if it was warranted. “We are going to go through every single person that has a pending asylum claim,” she said.
