Ooof -- I hope he's not stepping down. Rumor is that Trump blames him for the Iran war continuing.

NEWS: Pete Hegseth tells reporters he will hold a press conference at the Pentagon tomorrow morning.

Some Republicans are calling for a delay in the elections for Senate leadership -- to give challengers to John Thune the chance to announce their candidacies and start lobbying.

Sen. Dave McCormick (Pa.), a more moderate Republican from a key battleground state, is endorsing a call by conservative Senate GOP colleagues to delay the party's leadership elections scheduled for Tuesday.

"As I've shared with Leader Thune, I don't believe we should move to leadership elections until we have digested and debated the lessons of the midterms and how to move forward," McCormick wrote late Sunday in a statement. "We need leadership in place fast, but Tuesday is too soon."

"I know it's been the practice to go straight to leadership elections in recent years, but we should not rush it," he added.

The Pennsylvania Republican called last week's midterm election "the worst election result" for Republicans "in decades."

"We need a discussion about what went wrong, how we fix it, what we stand for, and how our agenda must focus on the concerns of the American people," he wrote online.

The DOJ is investigating Hillary Clinton's chief conspiracy theorist for rigging the Alaska election with a fake candidate.

key Russiagate lawyer known for his bare-knuckle election and legal tactics has landed at the center of the alleged Democrat plot in the Alaska Senate race to recruit a decoy candidate to siphon votes from their Republican opponent.

Marc Elias departed from the Perkins Coie law firm in 2021 and set up his own firm, catering to Democratic Party candidates. About the same time, the Justice Department was investigating its role in the Steele Dossier and its Trump-Russia collusion allegations, and he could face questions about the role his law firm played in representing multiple participants in the alleged scheme to recruit the candidate known as "Decoy Dan" in the Alaska race and whether there was any illegal coordination under federal election law.

Elias and his firm, Elias Law Group, were named in the explosive pre-election New York Times report on how campaign officials for Alaska's Democratic senatorial candidate Mary Peltola coordinated with Democratic operatives and aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to recruit the decoy, Daniel J. Sullivan, whose name is nearly identical to incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan.

Surprise! Former Muslim Brotherhood spokesman celebrates Totally Not Muslim Brotherhood Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

I posted about that last week. But in case you missed it:

A former Egyptian lawmaker and spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood's political party is celebrating Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed's (D-Mich.) victory, hailing the Michigan result as a model for other Muslim communities and the wider Islamic world...

He described the election of El-Sayed as an example of Muslims "working from within the political system."

The timing is mwah, chef's kiss. No Notes.

And speaking of Grifters on the Take:

The Democrats' drive to make working class men pay for AWFULs' fake education -- high costs, no payoff, with taxpayers picking up the bill for barely-working leftwing women -- will never stop:

So effectively, taxpayers are literally funding the college degrees of an army of women who then staff the NGOs and advocacy shops actively wrecking the country.
