Republicans Vow to Defy Schumer, Escort Dave McCormick Into Capitol
Republican lawmakers are vowing to "escort" Dave McCormick into the Capitol to take part in Senate orientation if the upper chamber's majority leader, Chuck Schumer, continues to withhold his invitation.
Senators Mike Lee of Utah, Katie Britt of Alabama and Eric Schmitt of Missouri said they will defy Schumer and personally transport the Republican candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate seat to the ceremony.
The Associated Press called the race between McCormick and Democratic incumbent Senator Bob Casey in favor of the Republican on November 7. Website Decision Desk HQ has still not called the race at time of writing, with Casey's campaign stating he will not concede until all the votes are counted.
Schumer has not invited McCormick to attend Senate orientation in the coming week as there are ballots left to be counted in Pennsylvania. "With over 100,000 ballots left to be counted in Pennsylvania, the race has not been decided. As is custom, we will invite the winner once the votes are counted," a Schumer spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Sunday.
As of early Monday morning ET, McCormick is ahead of Casey by 49 percent to 48.4 percent, amounting to a gap of around 39,000 votes with 99 percent of ballots counted. If the gap is within or equal to 0.5 percent, it would trigger an automatic recount under state law. Any statewide automatic recount must be ordered by the Secretary of the Commonwealth by the end of the second Thursday following an election, which would be November 14.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Lee said he will take steps to ensure McCormick will attend orientation even without an official invite. "I'm willing to personally escort McCormick into the Capitol for new-senator orientation. I'd like to see how they'd keep him out if he literally walked into 'the room where it happens,'" Lee wrote on Sunday.
In reply, Britt wrote: "I'll be right there alongside you, Mike. McCormick is the senator-elect for Pennsylvania and deserves to be at orientation alongside every other member of his freshman class." Schmitt also indicated on social media he will join Lee in his bid to escort McCormick to the Capitol for the Senate ceremony.
Several GOP lawmakers have criticized Schumer for not allowing McCormick to attend the Senate orientation despite being declared the winner of the Pennsylvania race by The Associated Press.
"Chuck Schumer is an election denier," posted Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who beat Democratic Representative Colin Allred by nearly 9 points to win reelection.
"Chuck, the country overwhelmingly rejected your petty tyranny when they voted you out of being the Majority Leader. Do the right thing and invite Senator-elect McCormick to orientation."
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas added: "Senator-elect Dave McCormick won. Chuck Schumer's shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer's true character."
Democrat John Fetterman, who holds the second Pennsylvania Senate seat, criticized The Associated Press for calling the race between Casey and McCormick with "tens of thousands of votes to be counted across the Commonwealth."
"AP Politics shouldn't make a call in this race until every Pennsylvanian has their vote counted," Fetterman said on Thursday.
Casey campaign spokesperson Maddy McDaniel also said on Thursday that the "count in Pennsylvania is still continuing."
"Yesterday, the vote margin shrunk by 50,000 votes, and this race is now within half a point, the threshold for automatic recounts in Pennsylvania," McDaniel said in a statement.
"With tens of thousands more votes to be counted, we are committed to ensuring every Pennsylvanian's vote is heard and confident that at the end of that process, Senator Casey will be reelected."
The same day, McCormick's campaign said the Republican "is up 30,679 votes with more to come, as ruby-red Cambria County is still outstanding."
"While votes continue to be counted, any way you slice it, Dave McCormick will be the next United States Senator from Pennsylvania," McCormick's campaign communications director, Elizabeth Gregory, said.
The GOP flipped control of the Senate from the Democrats in last week's elections and is currently forecast to have a 53-46 seat majority in the upper chamber next year.
Following's Donald Trump's election win and the GOP closing in on keeping hold of the House, the Republican Party is on course to have its first trifecta of power since 2017 and 2018.
Trump’s Landslide Victory Signals The Death Of Obamaism
Trump’s electoral landslide this week is one for the history books. His myriad foes illegitimately spied on his 2016 campaign. They fabricated a “Russia collusion” narrative out of whole cloth, then spent years “investigating” it. They impeached him twice. They prosecuted him across four separate jurisdictions, 91 criminal counts in total. They have tried to humiliate him, bankrupt him and incarcerate him. Assassins have tried to kill him — twice.

The Houthi military spokesman claims that they launched a hypersonic missile toward the army base near Beit Shemesh.
This is a clear escalation from the previous missiles fired from Yemen, though it was intercepted before crossing the border into the country.

Trump’s stunning comeback victory has cured America from the woke mind virus
They were the ten words that sealed the comeback deal for Donald Trump.
“Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you,” said the campaign ad first unleashed a week after Trump lost his only TV debate with Kamala Harris back in September.
The ad focused on two things: a 2019 clip of Kamala endorsing the use of taxpayer money to fund sex change surgery for transgender prison inmates, and her ongoing support for trans athletes competing in women’s sport.
The New York Times reported that the ad “broke through in Mr. Trump’s testing to an extent that stunned some of his aides.”
So, they poured millions more dollars into blasting it across America’s TV airwaves, including during big football matches.
This provoked Charlamagne Tha God, host of the hugely popular – especially with Black listeners – Breakfast Club radio show, to express his anger.
“Kamala supports taxpayer funded sex changes for prisoners?” he exclaimed on air, after playing the ad. “Hell no, I don’t want my taxpayer dollars going to that!”
The gleeful Trump team promptly re-edited the ad using Charlamagne’s comment at the top, and it blew up even bigger.
In fact, the NYT said it became of the most effective 30-second spots ever, shifting the race by 2.7 percentage points in Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.
It worked particularly well with black and Latino men, and with white suburban women.
Trump beat Harris ‘with the largest female demographic’
Liberal women are going on a sex strike and shaving their heads to punish men for voting for Donald Trump.
Men are breathing a sigh of relief, as this self-defeating gesture by the Trump-deranged bodes well for natural selection, especially since conservative women are having more babies.
But the joke is on the Trump-hating femmes. It was supposed to be the gender gap election, which women would win for Democrats because more of them vote.
Kamala “Brat” Harris was banking on the sisters to make her the first female president in history.
Except that’s not what happened. Women do historically vote Democrat, but this time Harris did worse with the female vote than both her Democratic predecessors — five points worse than Joe Biden and three points worse than Hillary Clinton.
And Trump beat Harris by five points with the largest female demographic — white women —and increased his vote with young women by seven points over his 2020 figures.
A lot of women voted for Trump, who pulled off the best Republican result in decades, despite being outspent three to one, and despite being defamed as a “Nazi” and a misogynist brute who wanted to “control” women “whether they like it or not.”
The result sent MSNBC anchor “Joy-less” Reid into a jihad against white women on election night.
Kamala's disastrous presidential bid was doomed from the start
The presidential race was not unpredictable, as the now once again discredited polls swore to us.
The Republicans had made massive gains in voter registrations since 2020, when Donald Trump had lost the Electoral College by only a few thousand strategically placed votes.
Republicans began to master the transition to non-Election Day balloting — first engineered by the left in 2020 under the pretext of COVID-19.
They not only vastly exceeded their early/mail-in voting totals of 2020, but by Election Day, they often outpaced Democrats.
For months, it was widely reported, albeit grudgingly, that there were large defections in Hispanic and African American voters from Vice President Kamala Harris.
The betting odds over the last three weeks usually favored Trump.
Harris simply could not run on anything she had so emphatically promoted in the past — given these left-wing, unpopular and failed policies had no majority support.
So, the chameleon Harris renounced her prior 30 years of earlier radical advocacy that, along with her race and gender, had forced Joe Biden in 2020 to select her as vice president.
There was no way Harris could still support banning fracking, defunding police, opposing border security and the wall, or calling for mass amnesties and an end to the border patrol.
Nor could Harris still promote racial reparations, ending private health care insurance, or advocating for higher income and capital gains taxes and a wealth tax.
Much less could Harris still boast of wanting mandatory “buyback” or confiscation of some semi-automatic weapons — including entering private homes to seize them.
So given all that, Harris simply flipped — and serially lied about who she was, renouncing her entire political career.
Indeed, Harris began to copycat Trump’s own positions. And so, she never convinced the electorate that she would not flip back to her earlier radicalism once elected or even in defeat finishing out her vice presidential term.
There were three damning realities that even if Harris had been a gifted politician and an adept speaker, she could never have changed.
One, Harris was preposterously running as a turn-the-page, new-generation candidate.
But why had she not sought to implement such a “new chapter” for the prior 45 months as an incumbent vice president, especially while in office during the campaign itself?
Voters knew the answer: The entire Biden-Harris tenure was a far left-wing utter disaster, one for which the radical Harris 1.0 had for three-plus years claimed co-ownership.
Two, why did Harris avoid all impromptu interviews and the media for most of the campaign — only to reverse course and seek out reporters when her polls eroded?
Did it hurt Harris more to avoid the media — or meet with them and thus confirm her inanity to millions of viewers and listeners?
Three, why did Harris serially lie to America that President Joe Biden was hale and vigorous — until hours before his senility prompted leftist donors and party insiders to force him off the ticket?
And why could she not declare her independence from the historically unpopular Biden?
Harris instead chose to terrify voters to vote against a demonized and “fascist” Trump rather than to vote for Harris and her make-believe agendas.
But even in demonizing Trump, the maladroit Harris hit a wall.
By campaign’s end, Trump’s favorables were often higher than her own.
His prior four years as president polled higher than the current Biden-Harris train wreck.
Trump, the purported “racist,” won more Hispanic and black voters than past “moderate” Republicans like Bob Dole, John McCain or Mitt Romney.
It was hard to damn Trump as a crazy fascist when iconic liberal figures, like Robert Kennedy or Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, were campaigning for him.
Trump had reinvented the Republican Party by substituting ecumenical, middle-class solidarity for polarizing racial tribalism. Elitist Democrats were left to cater to the interests of their well-off and very rich donors as well as the subsidized poor.
Workaholic Trump campaigned nonstop for two years, won all the primaries, and was endorsed by his two chief primary rivals.
In contrast, the Harris “nomination” was the product of a coup that, in 48 hours, removed from the ticket an incumbent president, nullified the will of his 14 million primary voters and coronated Harris, who had neither won nor ever entered a primary.
That late July forced abdication of Biden lent an air of illegitimacy to Harris’s candidacy, as well as truncating the time available to campaign.
Finally, Harris’s first major decision was to nominate as her vice president the buffoonish and inept Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. His radicalism, serial lying and herky-jerky “weirdness” proved a force multiplier of her own mediocrity.
In contrast, the calm, empathetic and astute J.D. Vance eviscerated Walz in their sole debate and did the same to the media.
Add it all up — and Harris and her star-crossed candidacy were simply and rightly doomed.

Unhinged Crazed Brad Lander blames Trump for Prospect Park fire
He didn’t start the fire!
But don’t tell lefty city Comptroller and mayoral wannabe Brad Lander, who accused President-elect Donald Trump for the brush fire in Prospect Park.
Lander on Saturday joined the growing number of far-left pols blaming climate change for wildfires plaguing New Jersey and a brushfire that broke out Friday night in Prospect Park amid a stretch of historically dry weather throughout the Northeast.
However, the Democratic socialist and presumptive 2025 mayoral candidate took it a step further, all but accusing Trump and other conservatives of lighting a match and starting the blazes.
“Let’s be clear: These brush fires are because of drought accelerated by climate change,” Lander wrote on Facebook.
“When Trump/MAGA roll back climate action, they are burning down the things we love. We’ll need to fight fiercely & work more creatively than ever to protect them.”
Lander, who lives near the iconic green space in Park Slope, thanked FDNY firefighters for putting out the blaze.
He added, “my heart aches over yesterday’s fire in our beloved @prospect_park, the place of so many of our family’s greatest joys, from baseball to b-day parties to Celebrate BK, that saved our lives in the pandemic, my respite always.”
Councilman Robert Holden, a moderate Queens Dem, said Lander’s remarks about Trump are the latest example of him pandering to the far-left.
“Brad Pander, the poster child for political irrelevance, outdoes himself yet again with another pitiful display—shameless as ever, because shame requires self-awareness,” he said.
“When his doomed mayoral bid crashes and burns, he’ll no doubt point fingers at Trump before crawling back into the obscurity he never should have left.”
Facebook bans Arutz Sheva
Arutz Sheva-Israel National News's English-language Facebook page was suspended last week following a series of reports against the page's posts.
The reports may have stemmed from anti-Israel and antisemitic reporting campaigns against Israeli and Jewish pages.
According to Facebook's policies, all users can report content that appears to them as offensive or inappropriate. The system is meant to prevent the publishing of hate speech, immoral content, or mis and disinformation.
While covering the current war, the page, which has 151,999 followers, received several complaints against various reports on the war's events including the elimination of senior Hezbollah official Nabil Qaouk on September 28th, an official IDF announcement about the commencement of the operation in Lebanon, the elimination of the terrorist who murdered a father in front of his children on October 7th, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's response to US President Joe Biden regarding a potential hostage deal, an IDF announcement about the dismantling of Hamas forces in Rafah, an IDF statement against Hezbollah, an announcement about the elimination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, and even a post from October 8th reporting the atrocities committed by the Hamas terror organization a day earlier.
The complaints were received together with a message from Facebook reading: "It looks like you shared or sent something that attacks a person, or group of people, based on who they are."
After Arutz Sheva's appeal regarding the removals, Facebook replied that it had decided not to reinstate the posts.
While the Facebook page is still accessible, Arutz Sheva is unable to upload posts. At the same time, the site's pages on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram are active and continue to provide up-to-date reports on news from Israel and around the world.
Trump Planning “Maximum Pressure 2.0” Campaign Against Iranian Regime
President-elect Donald Trump is planning to reimpose strict sanctions on Iran, targeting its oil sales and economic activities to weaken Tehran’s support for regional militias and curb its nuclear program. According to sources close to Trump’s team who spoke with the Wall Street Journal, the new administration will adopt a “maximum pressure 2.0” approach, aiming to cut off Iran’s primary sources of income.
In his first term, Trump withdrew from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a multinational agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear activities, and introduced sanctions that reduced Iran’s oil exports to a fraction of prior levels. However, after President Joe Biden took office, oil exports from Iran rebounded, creating new challenges for the incoming administration, which intends to be more aggressive in targeting Iranian oil exports and related financial flows.
Sources say Trump’s advisors are discussing targeting Chinese ports that receive Iranian oil, as well as sanctions on Iraqi officials who support Iran-backed militias. Former U.S. energy official Robert McNally suggested that renewed sanctions could reduce Iranian oil sales by around 500,000 barrels a day, mainly from purchases by China.
In recent weeks, senior Trump advisors have also voiced support for a potential Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. The previous Biden administration secured assurances from Israel not to target Iran’s nuclear facilities in recent operations, fearing an escalation. Trump’s team, however, may be more open to Israeli action against Iran’s critical infrastructure.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded Wednesday, insisting that Iran’s economy would not be influenced by the U.S. election outcome. Yet internal divisions within Iran reflect growing concerns over potential economic impacts from renewed U.S. sanctions, with some Iranian officials warning of potential setbacks for the country’s oil industry.
Despite these rising tensions, some advisors close to Trump do not rule out a diplomatic approach, as Trump is known to favor striking his own deals with key adversaries.
Elise Stefanik Accepts Trump’s Offer To Serve As U.S. Ambassador To The UN
New York Representative Elise Stefanik has accepted President-elect Trump’s offer to serve as US Ambassador to the United Nations during his term.
“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump told the NY Post.
“I am truly honored to earn President Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,” said Stefanik. “During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate.”
CNN reported over the weekend that Trump extended the offer to Stefanik.
Stefanik, a congresswoman from New York and the fourth-ranking Republican in the House, has been a prominent supporter of Trump. Known for her steadfast alignment with the president-elect’s agenda, she has played a major role as a GOP fundraiser and influential figure within the party.
Stefanik brings a strong Republican voice to the U.N., reflecting the Trump administration’s approach to international diplomacy. Her leadership in the House and her alignment with Trump’s policies suggest she could advocate effectively for his foreign policy priorities on the global stage.
Stefanik’s appointment mark a strategic choice by Trump to place an experienced congressional leader in one of the nation’s most prominent diplomatic roles. The decision is part of a broader effort to shape the new administration’s team with allies who have shown dedication to the president-elect’s goals and have the experience to execute his agenda.
NY Fraudster Arrested for Backing Up His Car in another on the Belt Parkway to Collect Insurance!
A New York City man has been charged with staging a car accident for insurance fraud purposes last month in a case that received wide publicity after the victim shared dashboard camera footage of the crash, authorities announced Friday.
Prosecutors say the 28-year-old Brooklyn man was in a car whose driver cut off another car in Queens and then intentionally backed into the vehicle.
“The defendant and others allegedly staged a crash on a busy highway and rammed an unsuspecting driver with their vehicle after they forcibly stopped her in the left lane of the Belt Parkway,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a news release. “Countless lives were jeopardized due to this incredibly reckless conduct.”
According to prosecutors, Asphia Natasha was driving north on the Belt Parkway on Oct. 16 when a silver Honda Civic cut in front of her car and stopped.
Natasha braked to avoid a collision and the Honda’s driver backed into her car, damaging both vehicles, prosecutors said.
The occupants of the Honda held up what appeared to be a plastic tarp that partly obscured Natasha’s view inside the Honda, and the occupants of the Honda switched seats within the car, Katz said.
Natasha’s dashboard camera captured the collision, and the video has received millions of views on TikTok.
Four people exited the car after the crash. The 28-year-old man was arrested Thursday after arriving in New York on a flight from Ecuador, Katz said. Prosecutors believe he was a backseat passenger in the Honda at the time of the crash. The other three people who were in the car are still being sought.
The man was arraigned on charges including staging a motor vehicle accident, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and insurance fraud. He pleaded not guilty. A message seeking comment was left with his attorney.
JD Vance Threatens NATO for Threatening to Arrest Elan Musk for his tweets
In recent remarks, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) emphasized the importance of defending American values, particularly free speech, when engaging with NATO allies. He expressed concern over instances where Americans, such as tech billionaire Elon Musk, face criticism or threats from European nations for exercising their right to free expression.
Vance posed a direct challenge to NATO, urging the U.S. to hold its allies accountable for upholding the principles of free speech. “If NATO wants us to continue supporting them, and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked.
The senator argued that continued U.S. support for NATO should come with conditions, especially regarding the protection of fundamental rights like free speech. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t gonna be pro-free speech,” he said, emphasizing the moral obligations the U.S. should enforce on its allies.
Vance stressed that American power should not come without expectations. He called for the U.S. to make it clear that “American power comes with certain strings attached,” and among these conditions is the respect for free speech, particularly from European partners.
Vance believes that European countries, as close allies, should naturally align with American values, especially when it comes to fundamental freedoms. “European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech,” he concluded.
Jared Kushner will advise Trump on Middle East Matters
New details emerged Sunday morning about Donald Trump’s developing administration. Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has returned to closely assist the president-elect in preparations for building the new administration and to advise him on matters related to the Middle-East!
Kushner, 43, was among the key figures in Trump’s first administration and led many of its successes. Since the 2020 election, he and his wife, Ivanka, Trump’s daughter, have avoided public and political activity, partly to provide their children with a more comfortable life.
Kushner broke his silence about a month ago, strongly criticizing the Biden administration for its approach toward Israel and the Middle East. According to a source familiar with the matter, he has now returned to active involvement in the president’s circle to contribute his experience ahead of Trump’s second term, which begins on Jan. 20.
Meanwhile, Republican Party sources assess that Trump’s rejection of a post for former CIA director and secretary of state Mike Pompeo increases the likelihood of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) being selected as the next secretary of state.
Rubio, 53, a strong supporter of Israel, has grown considerably closer to Trump in recent months and attended the victory event in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Tuesday night. According to two sources, the chances of his selection as America’s top diplomat are high.
UNRAW Teacher was the Organizer of the Amsterdam Pogrom
Former UNRWA Teacher Found Behind Violent Attack on Jewish Soccer Fans
According to the Jerusalem Post, Ayman Nejmeh, who once taught children as a UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) teacher, has been identified as the leader of a group that organized a violent attack on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam last Thursday. Nejmeh, who recently deleted his UNRWA work history from his Facebook profile, now leads a group called PGNL (Palestinian community in the Netherlands) that was behind the frightening incident.
Here’s what happened in Amsterdam:
- A soccer game was planned between Maccabi Ajax teams
- Officials canceled a planned protest before the game
- The organizers then made secret plans, telling people to come in small groups and hide their flags
- The situation turned violent when protesters attacked Israeli soccer fans
About the PGNL Group:
- It organizes protests across the Netherlands
- It uses apps like WhatsApp and Telegram to communicate
- Until recently, it was led by Amin Abou Rashed, who was arrested in 2023
- Nejmeh took over leadership after Rashed’s arrest
Elad, a fan who survived the attack, told reporters that the violence seemed carefully planned. He compared it to other recent attacks on Israeli citizens, saying it was like “a pogrom and a massacre attempt” that had nothing to do with soccer. He also noted that normally, Ajax soccer fans have good relationships with Israeli and Jewish people.
The incident has caused serious concern because:
- It appeared to be organized ahead of time
- Violence was specifically targeted at Israeli fans
- Local authorities knew about possible problems but couldn’t prevent them
- The event has worried many people across Europe
Many European leaders are now investigating groups that organize protests to make sure they don’t promote violence. Special attention is being paid to the connection between protest organizers and their past work with international organizations like UNRWA.
