President-elect Donald Trump has announced Lebanese American businessman Massad Boulos will be serving as his senior adviser on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
On Sunday, Trump announced his pick in a post on Truth Social.
“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump said.
“He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community,” he added.

Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, met with Arab American and Muslim leaders several times during the election campaign.
He will most likely collaborate with Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, who was appointed last month.
This is the second time in recent days that Trump chose the father-in-law of one of his children to serve in his administration. On Saturday, Trump announced Charles Kushner, father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as his pick for Ambassador to France.

In an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends’ on October 29th, a week before the election, Melania said she was not “anxious” because she had “much more experience” as she had already lived in the White House.
“So when you go in, you know exactly what to expect,” she said. “You know what kind of people you need to get.”

45th and 47th U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
On Tuesday, Trump made the announcement in an official statement.
The president-elect explained that the two will “work together to liberate our Economy and make the U.S. Government accountable to ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’”
Vivek and Musk have been strong supporters of Trump throughout his campaign.
Musk continuously worked to combat disinformation perpetrated by the Kamala Harris campaign on his social media platform, X.
Harris’ campaign often lied about Trump’s views on abortion, in addition to lies related to the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” falsely claiming that Trump was personally involved. Musk endorsed Trump after he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Soon after he dropped out of the GOP nominee race, Ramaswamy voiced his backing and support for Trump. Ramaswamy also vehemently criticized Harris for her policies related to both illegal immigration and the economy.
Trump previously commended the young Indian-American entrepreneur, calling him “smart as hell.”

After President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent visit to Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that more than $8 billion in military aid would be provided to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
The first delivery of the Joint Standoff Weapon, a precision-guided glide bomb with a maximum range of 81 miles, will be one of the many expensive explosives provided as part of the aid. With the medium-range missile, Ukraine can try to strike Russian forces at “safer ranges,” and it significantly improves its arsenal of weaponry.
“Biden will not announce that Washington would let Ukraine use U.S. missiles to hit targets deeper in Russia," a U.S. official said,” according to Reuters.
“We’re making clear that we stand with Ukraine now and in the future,” Biden told reporters ahead of a bilateral meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office. He said the U.S. would continue to help Ukraine strengthen its position on the battlefield, and that he had directed the Pentagon to allocate all remaining security funding by the end of his term in January.
Zelenskyy praised Biden for his decision to give Ukraine even more assistance, and he emphasized the need to secure Ukraine’s membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union.
At least $5.5 billion of the extra aid will be disbursed before the financing authority expires on Monday, the last day of the U.S. fiscal year. Under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, an additional $2.4 billion is available, enabling the administration to purchase more weapons for Ukraine from companies.
According to Biden, this will boost Ukraine’s defense industrial base, support its maintenance and sustainment needs, and give it more air defense, unmanned aerial systems, as well as air-to-ground weapons.
The president also stated that his proposal also calls for the Defense Department to repair and supply Ukraine with more Patriot missiles and an extra Patriot air defense battery.
In order to boost training for Ukrainian F-16 pilots, Biden directed the Pentagon to support U.S.-funded training of at least 18 pilots in the upcoming year.
“I am grateful to the United States for providing the items that are most critical to protecting our people,” Zelenskyy said on Twitter, noting the Patriot battery, the large number of drones, and other long-range missiles.
At a campaign rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump expressed his own feelings regarding the continued U.S. funding of billions of dollars to Ukraine.
“We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelenskyy,” Trump reminded the crowd.
Time Magazine and the BBC outlet also had some discouraging words to say about Ukraine’s war efforts.
“U.S. officials also need to recognize that even if this aid continues, there is no realistic chance of a total Ukrainian victory next year, or the year after that. Even if the Ukrainians can build up their forces, Russia can deepen its defenses even more,” Time Magazine reported.
Meanwhile, the BBC reported that: “the former commander of the UK’s Joint Forces Command has warned that Ukraine could face defeat by Russia in 2024.”
According to AllSides’ Political Bias Meter, the BBC lands “center-left,” while Time Magazine leans fully “left” politically.

Who really runs this country? Is it Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? Yeah, no one really believes that. What about Pelosi, Schumer, or Jeffries? Obama? They even have to answer someone. It’s obvious political power brokers — a cabal — just led a coup on a sitting U.S. president. It’s not about democracy. It’s about money, and this cabal controls A LOT of it. The days of Soros and the Tides Foundation controlling the Democrat purse are behind us. There’s a new system in place that has the power to dump one president, groom another, and overthrow an entire election process in less than 48 hours. It wasn’t just the dark-money billionaires that opened up the financing floodgates. Apparently, we’re supposed to believe that the ENTIRE COUNTRY suddenly became excited for President Kamala Harris. Small donations allegedly skyrocketed. ActBlue, the Left’s main small-donor fundraiser platform, reported $27.5 million … within the first FIVE HOURS. Just a few hours later that number NEARLY DOUBLED to $46.7 million. After 24 hours, ActBlue was reporting over $90 MILLION for Mrs. Yellow School Bus. ActBlue declared that it was its biggest fundraising day of the entire 2024 election cycle. The former Federal Election Commission chair has said that “it’s quite clear” that Kamala Harris can just be GIFTED all of Joe Biden’s campaign funds, but the current FEC Chair Sean Cooksey told Glenn in an interview on “The Glenn Beck Program” that this is “unprecedented,” and he expects legal challenges to follow. He also said that it better happen soon because the window is closing fast. Gary Lawkowski, a partner at Dhillon Law Group and the deputy general counsel for the Trump campaign, filed a formal complaint with the FEC. He says Glenn Vice President Harris’ smash-and-grab seizure of President Biden’s campaign funds is the biggest campaign finance violation in history. Glenn asks, “What the hell is going on here?!” and reveals more ActBlue donation irregularities his research team stumbled onto that are very suspicious.
Trump is slated to pick his vice president for the 2024 presidential election today at the RNC in Milwaukee. As new details emerge in the assassination attempt on former President Trump, those close to him are left with many questions. Andrew Giuliani, the president's former special assistant to Trump, joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow to discuss the shooting and the Republican National Convention.

The United States is gearing up for another lethal aid package for Ukraine.
According to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday, the U.S. is expected to announce an additional $3.2 billion in munitions.
It is unclear how much of the package will be delegated under the presidential drawdown authority, which pulls weapons, ammunition and equipment from U.S. military stockpiles to fulfill Ukraine’s alleged “short-term” needs.
Austin also discussed the Biden administration’s plans to continue to work toward Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
“Now, as we look ahead to the NATO summit next week, Rustem, we’ll take steps to build a bridge to NATO membership for Ukraine,” Austin said. “Just weeks ago, President Zelenskyy and President Biden signed a crucial 10-year bilateral security agreement. This reflects our strong and enduring support for Ukraine. So, I look forward to discussing more ways to meet Ukraine’s immediate security needs and to build a future force to ward off more Russian aggression.”
Since 2022, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with more than $50 billion worth of military aid.
