From: THESPRUCEPETS:
The Boston terrier is a small non-sporting dog breed from the United States bred to serve as a companion dog. Nicknamed the “American Gentleman,” these well-mannered, bright, affectionate canines make wonderful four-legged friends and family dogs. With their short, smooth, black and white coat that’s patterned to resemble a tuxedo jacket, the Boston terrier is undeniably adorable and can easily be described as dapper.
Boston terriers typically like to be around their humans as much as possible and are eager to please. They tend to get along with just about everyone, including young children who know not to be too rough, other household dogs, and dog-friendly cats. With their friendly, lively, and active personalities, it’s no wonder that the Boston terrier is such a popular breed.

Boston terriers typically have happy, friendly, and affectionate temperaments. Their love of play and comical nature also help to mold their personalities. They’re typically good around people, including kids and strangers, and they often get along well with other pets.
Despite their small size, Boston terriers are active, high-energy canines that tend to do well in dog sports such as flyball and agility. These intelligent dogs can easily be taught tricks, but are sometimes stubborn, so don’t expect your Boston terrier to obey every time you give a command.
This is a brachycephalic breed, meaning that the face is flat, with a somewhat “squashed” appearance. Keep in mind, however, that like other breeds with this facial structure, Bostons can overheat easily and should be allowed to rest when needed.
Surprisingly, the friendly, playful, and sometimes silly Boston terrier is a descendant of dogs that were originally bred for pit fighting and other “blood sports” popular in 19th-century England. However, the Boston terrier today is generally non-aggressive towards humans, nor prone to fighting or aggression with other dogs. Most are outgoing and well-mannered with just about everyone.

The Boston terrier’s story began in the 1860s when a Boston man named William O’Brien purchased a bulldog-white English terrier mix from England named Judge. O’Brien ended up selling Judge to another Bostonian named Robert C. Hooper. Records refer to “Hooper’s Judge” as the father of the Boston terrier breed from which all Bostons descend.
Judge was a muscular, tough, but fairly small dog, weighing in at around 30 pounds. His head was square, and his coat was dark brindle with a white stripe down his face. Judge was bred with a small, white, bulldog-type female, and that launched the selective breeding process. Breeders specifically were looking to create a small, friendly companion dog.
In 1891, the Boston Terrier Club of America was founded. And soon after in 1893, the American Kennel Club first recognized the breed. Since then, the Boston terrier has become quite popular throughout the United States. It’s Boston University’s official mascot, as well as the official dog for the state of Massachusetts.
For the most part, Bostons are a fairly low-maintenance breed. They do require regular exercise, grooming, and training, like any dog, but in amounts that are lower than many other breeds. If left alone too often, however, or not provided with enough mental and physical stimulation, they can become destructive or develop annoying behaviors. Remember that your Boston terrier was bred to be a companion dog and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Exercise
Boston terriers are relatively energetic and should receive about an hour of exercise per day. A couple of daily walks, games of fetch, playing with puzzle toys, and running around in a secure area should suffice. Dog sports, such as agility and rally, can help to burn their mental and physical energy. The key is that Bostons prefer to be active with their humans. If you leave them to their own devices, they might become bored and develop problem behaviors, such as unwanted chewing.
Moreover, due to the Boston’s flat face, the breed is prone to breathing issues. Discuss this with your vet, and know how to spot the signs of labored breathing during exercise.

Just The News: “Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday said he would like to eliminate the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) during the next Congress, but will likely need to reorganize it instead because of a lack of support.
Paul is expected to oversee the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in January now that Republicans have flipped control of the upper chamber. The committee has congressional jurisdiction over the agency.
Republicans, including Paul, have criticized the agency in recent years because of its alleged effort to censor reports regarding the 2020 presidential election. Paul claimed the agency has tried to censor conservative voices on social media for political reasons, which would infringe on free speech, but the agency has rejected the allegations.
“I’d like to eliminate [CISA],” Paul told Politico. “The First Amendment is pretty important, that’s why we listed it as the First Amendment, and I would have liked to, at the very least, eliminate their ability to censor content online.”
Paul admitted that he does not expect to see widespread support for abolishing CISA, but said he would be open to reforming it instead. The senator said that some ways it could be reorganized are by having more hearings over its alleged meetings with social media companies during the 2024 election cycle.
“I think a lot of what they do is intrusive, and I’d like to end their intrusions into the First Amendment,” Paul said. “There needs to be more scrutiny, and we will have hearings where [CISA officials] will have to come in and defend the meetings that they were having with social media [companies].”
House Homeland Security Committee ranking member Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, on Thursday admitted that the future of the agency was questionable but expressed support for keeping it intact.
“CISA has in my opinion done a good job in defending the .gov domain, and it’s not the first time that I’ve heard that there is some opposition, but you’ve got to have it somewhere,” Thompson told the outlet.
The Democrat added that if the agency is abolished then there should be a new means for countering misinformation.”

Just The News: “President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday announced his selections for top posts at the Department of Justice to aid Attorney General-designate Matt Gaetz.
To serve as deputy attorney general, Trump tapped Todd Blanche, whom he called “excellent attorney who will be a crucial leader in the Justice Department, fixing what has been a broken System of Justice for far too long.”
Blanche defended Trump during Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money trial.
He further named Emil Bove to serve as acting deputy attorney general during the confirmation process and to serve as principal associate deputy attorney general in a permanent capacity.
“Emil prosecuted terrorists and international drug traffickers as a Chief of the National Security Unit in the Southern District of New York United States Attorney’s Office, clerked for two Federal Judges, and graduated with Honors from Georgetown University Law Center,” Trump noted. “Emil is going to make us proud as we, Make America Great Again.”
The pair will presumably work under former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., whom Trump named as his AG pick this week.”

Just The News: “Florida GOP Sen. Rick Scott on Thursday pushed for Gov. Ron DeSantis to appoint Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump to fill Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat now that he has been tapped for Secretary of State.
Trump, the daughter-in-law of President-elect Donald Trump, expressed interest in the position on Thursday, and said she would be honored to fill the role if asked.
Scott indicated earlier this week that several people could fill the position, but on Thursday said he hopes DeSantis will tap Lara Trump. DeSantis is expected to choose a replacement soon who would serve the remainder of Rubio’s term through 2026.
“I’ve known her for a long time. Actually knew her before I met Eric Trump,” Scott told Axios. “[Lara Trump] did a great job with the RNC. She’s great spokesperson. She’s conservative.”
Scott doubled down on his endorsement in a post on X, stating that she would be a “GREAT Senator and represent Floridians well!”
Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham also expressed his support for the RNC chairwoman on Wednesday, commenting that while DeSantis would make the decision, he believed she would be a great choice, according to The Hill.
“I would love to have her as a colleague,” Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “That’ll be up to Gov. DeSantis, but we could not do better on the Republican side than Lara Trump.”

EXCERPT: “(The Center Square ) – The state of Florida is suing current and former federal employees personally for allegedly ignoring storm victim households solely because of their political affiliation.
Attorney General Ashley Moody sued current and former Federal Emergency Management Agency officials for “conspiracy to discriminate” against Florida hurricane victims because they expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump.
According to whistleblower reports, FEMA workers in Lake Placid were directed to ignore storm victims in households that displayed Trump signs or flags.
Moody sued Deanne Criswell, FEMA administrator, in her individual capacity, and Marn’i Washington, in her individual capacity, in U.S. District Court Southern District of Florida Fort Pierce Division. The complaint, which demands a trial by jury, alleges they directed federal relief workers to “avoid homes advertising Trump.”
The relief workers were responding to hurricanes Helene and Milton that pummeled Floridians on Sept. 26 and Oct. 9, respectively. Some residents were hit hard by both hurricanes, which devastated multiple counties.
FEMA fired Washington, describing her behavior as “reprehensible,” but Washington says she was used by FEMA as a scapegoat, according to several news reports. Washington also said FEMA agents were given similar instructions in North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. According to the brief, Washington alleges senior FEMA officials who claimed they didn’t know officials were discriminating against Trump supporters “are promoting a ‘lie,’” the complaint states….”

Our Take: While we continue to celebrate the Republican sweep of the Presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, it’s easy to forget that the election is still ongoing.
The Pennsylvania Senate race between McCormick and Casey should have been called on election night, but the loss is so embarrassing for Democrats that they’ve gone full blown election denier and now we have a recount.
I love a recount. Not because it’s meaningful to the results — I’ve covered many recounts over the years and they raise more questions than they answer — but because a recount provides us with additional information as we seek to deconstruct the centralized, complex web of corruption to restore free and fair elections.
The PA recount will give us more data, and data is critical for triangulating truth. I believe it is 47’s plan to restore election integrity by the 2026 midterms. This recount will help in that goal.
Full transparency of secure and accurate elections is critical to the preservation of liberty. It looks like that might be happening. — Ashe in America

Breitbart: “The wife of a prominent Seattle transgender author allegedly butchered her father with an ice axe on Election Night in response to Donald Trump’s victory, referring to it as an “act of liberation.”
The alleged gruesome murder occurred shortly after it became clear on Election Night that Donald Trump had decisively beaten Kamala Harris. Upset by the results, 33-year-old Corey Burke, who also served as a training program manager at Jeff Bezos’ spacecraft company Blue Origin, allegedly then proceeded to murder her father, Timothy Burke. The altercation began over a disagreement about lighting in the house, and Corey allegedly responded by grabbing an ice axe from upstairs.
“Burke had been upset about the election and knew Trump would handily beat Vice President Kamala Harris when she allegedly snapped — apparently when her father, Timothy Burke, refused to turn off the lights,” reported the New York Post.
“She then went upstairs, grabbed an ice ‘pickax,’ tripped her father, choked and bit him on the floor, and struck him repeatedly with the blunt and sharp ends of the tool, police said,” the outlet added.
Corey Burke then reportedly sat down beside her father to watch him die before proceeding to smash all the windows in the house, later describing the moment to police as “an act of liberation,” according to charging documents, per the Post. Police said that when they arrived, Burke was “clapping … because she was so happy.”
Public records show Burke is married to prominent transgender author Samantha Leigh Allen, who wrote the acclaimed book Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States and serves as an editor at Them, a transgender news publication owned by Conde Nast. Burke had been living with her father in the Seattle house at the time of the alleged murder.
According to police, Burke admitted to have a strained relationship with her father, leaving her feeling “hyperfocused and disorganized.” The election of Trump reportedly “overwhelmed” her, which then inflamed the already existing tensions she had with her father, police said.
“When officers arrived, she came out of the house with her hands up and blood smeared on her face, but she said she didn’t have any idea where the blood came from or who had smashed the windows,” noted the New York Post.”

“Team Trump: Young, smart and ready to rumble. On new attorney general: ‘This firebrand will run traitors through the Gaetz of hell’”
WND, By Bucky Fox, November 14, 2024
“The McDonald’s Man is lovin’ it. Now that he’s out of the kitchen and heading back to the White House, Donald Trump is filling his staff with people close to his heart. They’re sharp, America First patriots all aboard the Trump Train.
The president-elect puts a premium on smarts, hence his first major choice in the summer: J.D. Vance for vice president. The senator graduated summa cum laude after just two years at Ohio State, then rocked it at Yale Law School. The guy is brilliant and gutsy, as he proved by fearlessly handling all comers on network TV and podcasts during the campaign.
The former and incoming president often cheered that Vance pick at rallies by pointing to his own head. It’s all about the brain. So it is with the new White House team. Characters like Rex Tillerson, his first secretary of state, and Jim Mattis, his original defense chief, were lauded as central casting by Mr. Trump in his first go-round. Now that’s old news. Today it’s all about intelligence, loyalty and youth.
Vance is just 40, which will make him the youngest VP since Richard Nixon under Dwight Eisenhower in 1953.
Pete Hegseth, 44, went to Princeton and Harvard. He vaulted from Army combat to Fox News, where he defended Mr. Trump to the hilt. You won’t be reading any Hitler garbage from him a la John Kelly, the Marine general who looked the part only to knife his White House boss after his chief of staff stint.
Mr. Hegseth reflects exactly the president-elect’s feeling. After Butler, Mr. Trump is embracing being alive and having the freedom to choose the talent best for him and America, critics be damned. While the MSNBC world whines about the next defense secretary’s lack of experience, MAGA applauds with a crescendo. Now we’ll have an Iraq War infantry officer with a spine to boot the generals who bloodied the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal and gush over woke rubbish.
Elise Stefanik, 40, is Harvard Crimsonite aimed at degrading pinko. She rocketed as a New York Republican to the House, where she stood tall for President Trump during the impeachment hoaxes and told anti-Semitic Ivy League honchos to get lost. Now she’s going to the United Nations as U.S. ambassador with a megaphone for America First and against the Israel bashers who permeate that crooked body in the heart of New York City.
Stephen Miller, 39, is a Duke genius who will lead the border battle as deputy chief of staff. Miller Time is the backbone of the Trump agenda. The Californian plugged illegal immigration for 45 and will do it again for 47. This time he’ll have Border Czar Tom Homan running shotgun against the biggest crime in U.S. history: President Biden’s open gate that ignited the migrant invasion.
Elon Musk, 53, could be the smartest human on the planet. After attending Penn’s Wharton School of Business, same as Mr. Trump, he ignited Tesla, SpaceX, Boring to construct tunnels, and Neuralink to help paralyzed people communicate on computers just by thinking. Then in 2022 came Elon’s gift to freedom: His buying of Twitter, turning it into X and opening opinions from all corners. After Butler’s bloody Saturday, he endorsed Trump and campaigned Dark MAGA-style. Musk says he can cut $2 trillion from America’s bloated budget, so the president-elect said go for it. Welcome to DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Ram, 39, aka Vivek Ramaswamy. Here’s another wiz who went to Harvard and Yale, where he was a Vance classmate. He founded multiple firms, bulged his billion-dollar pockets, ran for president, rightly predicted Ronna McDaniel’s demise as GOP boss and was spot on again saying Mr. Biden wouldn’t last on the Dem ticket. He also called the election right: Mr. Trump would win in a landslide. Now the Ram is teaming up with Elon at DOGE after saying for over a year, “The people who we elect to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not the managerial bureaucracy and three-letter government agencies.” Those folks can kiss their jobs goodbye.
Tulsi Gabbard, 43, will hold a Cabinet post with her in mind: director of national intelligence. She sure had the acumen to rout Kamala Harris off the presidential debate stage in 2019. Before that, she carried her Hawaii Pacific University degree to the Army and Congress. After that, she backed Mr. Trump and traded Democrat for Republican. She’s on the right squad.
Matt Gaetz, 44, the attorney general we’ve been waiting for. Certainly, Mr. Trump has, after the hell of being indicted more than Al Capone, as he bellowed at rallies. Now with glee he said, “Matt will end weaponized government, protect our borders, dismantle criminal organizations and restore Americans’ badly shattered faith and confidence in the Justice Department.” Mr. Gaetz is a true Sunshine Stater, graduating from Florida State and representing the western Panhandle in Congress. He takes the tough road, leading the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy for failing as a conservative. Now the traitors, from the Russia-Russia-Russia confederates on up, better look out. This firebrand will run them through the Gaetz of hell.
As a friend just messaged me, “Gaetz will be our Gen. Sherman. March to the sea, baby.” MAGA is lovin’ it too.”

The Right Scoop: “The report from the House Ethics Committee has leaked today and ABC News is reporting that a woman claims Matt Gaetz had sex with her while she was underage.

Given that, here’s the report:
You can be sure this will be used against Gaetz in confirmation hearings despite the legal reality. People who don’t like Gaetz will claim this is true even though we’ve all seen this song and dance before.”

100% FedUp: “Interesting Theory About Why President Trump Selected Marco Rubio” By Noah | Nov 14, 2024
“Almost every single appointment by President Trump this week has been incredible….No RINOs. Strong MAGA Alpha dogs. Basically, all the people we wanted and expected. A few spots remain to be filled and we still haven’t seen where Kash Patel is going to land, which I find very interesting.
But one pick has stood out as potentially not so great and it’s getting a lot of criticism: Marco Rubio. Yes, yes, we’ve certainly come a long way from when he was just “Little Marco” with the small hands. Now he seems to be in President Trump’s good graces, so much so that he’s the choice for Secretary of State, something almost no one saw coming.
Perhaps President Trump knows something or sees something we don’t know, and I’m inclined to trust his judgment because he hasn’t let us down so far. But I also came across a very interesting theory I thought I would share….what if this is a way to get a RINO out of Congress? Think about it….you take a RINO out of Congress, fill it with a MAGA candidate, appoint them to the Cabinet, it doesn’t go well and they’re removed early on, and then you accomplish a big goal. Interesting, right? Take a look:
FASCINATING TAKE FROM WABISABI78: No one has been talking about these Cabinet picks are taking some members from Congress. If they are in the Cabinet and they don’t work out they aren’t going back to Congress. It’s like removing them from power. They either function properly or fired and unemployed! Think Rubio!!
I’m not saying that’s what’s going on, I’m just saying I found it very interesting to think about!”
