AP: Trump announces Tom Homan, former director of immigration enforcement, will serve as ‘border czar’
NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump says that Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, will serve as “border czar” in his incoming administration.
“I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation’s Borders,” he wrote late Sunday on his Truth Social site.
Homan was widely expected to be offered a position related to the border and Trump’s pledge to launch the largest deportation operation in the country’s history.
In addition to overseeing the southern and northern borders and “maritime, and aviation security,” Trump said Homan “will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin,” a central part of his agenda.
He says he had “no doubt” Homan “will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job.”
Such a role does not require Senate confirmation.
In an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Homan said the military would not be rounding up and arresting immigrants in the country illegally and that ICE would move to implement Trump’s plans in a “humane manner.” …

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) —
Better catch this week’s supermoon. It will be a while until the next one.
This will be the year’s fourth and final supermoon, looking bigger and brighter than usual as it comes within about 225,000 miles (361,867 kilometers) of Earth on Thursday. It won’t reach its full lunar phase until Friday.
The supermoon rises after the peak of the Taurid meteor shower and before the Leonids are most active.
Last month’s supermoon was 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers) closer, making it the year’s closest. The series started in August.
In 2025, expect three supermoons beginning in October.

Rasmussen: We Called the Trump Result, but Republicans Stalled Downticket
…“The biggest surprise to me, and something I think Republicans should be asking themselves every day for the next four years, is if the entire country moved seven points to the right, as it seems like it has, why did it only move one or two points to the right in the battlegrounds? That’s the problem,” Mitchell said.
“This was a massive repudiation of Biden regime leftism, and yet [these are] still very, very meager down-ballot gains.”
Republicans won four Senate seats, but Democrats appeared to have held off challenges in Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona. In addition, Republicans won only a handful of House seats, protecting their majority but failing to expand it to a more comfortable margin. On the state level, Republicans won only about 50 legislative seats nationwide, a shift of less than one percent. …

>Biden just slipped up and admitted that he dropped out of the race so the Democrats could focus on House and Senate seats
Does he mean focus their cheating on down ballot races?
Because, that what it looks like they did:
Down ballot numbers just don't make logical sense.
We only have four years to get our elections unfixed.
>Final Senate Map | Republicans will have 53 seats.
AP still to make a call on AZ Sen seat.

NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
Tom Homan is defending his plan to carry out mass deportations once Donald Trump's second term begins next year. Trump's new 'border czar' said the administration will make it a priority to 'secure the border and do this deportation operation.' The president-elect said during his campaign that he would carry out the largest number of deportations ever to clear the country of illegal immigrants after the border remained wide open during President Joe Biden's administration.
