Federal appeals court strikes down Biden
net neutrality rules
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/2/2025 4:50:03 PM
A federal appeals court ruled this week the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lacked the authority to restore certain net neutrality rules last year, handing a blow to FCC Democrats and Biden administration officials who pushed for revived open internet measures. The Thursday ruling by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns last year’s FCC vote, which reinstated the net neutrality rules barring broadband providers from blocking or throttling internet traffic to some websites and speeding up access to others that pay extra fees. The three-judge panel pointed to a Supreme Court decision last June that scaled back executive agencies’ power

Tammy Bruce was a liberal activist in the 1990s—until she saw the light and became a powerful (self-described) Independent Conservative voice on Fox News, talk radio, books, and as a columnist at The Washington Times.
On Friday night, President-elect Donald Trump named her as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State in his upcoming administration.
The Trump-Vance Transition Team released a statement:
It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible Nominee for United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State.
Matthew Livelsberger, the Green Beret who died in the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion, left behind a note describing the incident as a “stunt” to serve as a “wake up call” for the country.
Authorities are still combing through the veteran’s electronic devices as they piece together a motive behind the blast outside of the Trump International Hotel on New Year’s Day that left Livelsberger dead and injured seven others. Police have labeled the incident a suicide.
Two “letters” on his iPhone Notes app ahead of the explosion describe his personal and political grievances, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department revealed in a Friday press conference.
A judge on Friday rejected a request that he dismiss the New York criminal hush money case against President-elect Donald Trump and set Trump’s sentencing for Jan. 10, less than two weeks before he is due to be sworn in for a second term in the White House.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, in a written order, also said he would not sentence Trump to prison in the case. Merchan also said that Trump had the option of appearing in person or virtually for the sentencing next week.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) did not win reelection during the first round of voting on Friday, ushering in a state of uncertainty over what House GOP leadership will look like at the start of the 119th Congress. The speaker was unable to stave off no-votes from multiple members, including Representatives Thomas Massie (R., Ky.), Keith Self (R., Tex.) and Ralph Norman (R., S.C).
A half-dozen members who were undecided about Johnson leading up to the first round of counting ended up not responding to the roll-call until the end, when the clerk called on them again and every single one of them voted for Johnson.
Alcoholic drinks should carry cancer risk warning labels, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said in a report Friday.
The report cites a direct link between alcohol consumption and at least seven types of cancer, including of the breast, colorectal, liver and mouth. An estimated 16.4% of total breast cancer cases are linked to drinking alcohol. There are about 100,000 alcohol-related cancer cases and about 20,000 alcohol-related cancer deaths in the U.S. each year, the report found. Alcohol is the third-leading cause of cancer in the U.S., after tobacco and obesity.
Morgan Stanley said on Thursday it had decided to leave a UN-backed climate alliance — joining rivals Goldman Sachs and Citi in ditching the group amid conservative backlash toward environmental and diversity initiatives.
The Wall Street investment bank gave no reason for its decision to exit the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Citigroup and Bank of America said they were leaving the group earlier this week, and Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo made the same announcement in early December.
President Joe Biden on Friday officially blocked U.S. Steel
’s $14.9 billion acquisition by Japan’s Nippon Steel, citing national security concerns.
Biden said the proposed acquisition by Nippon would place one of the largest steel producers in the U.S. under foreign control, creating a risk for the nation’s critical supply chains. “Today’s action reflects my unflinching commitment to utilize all authorities available to me as President to defend U.S. national security, including by ensuring that American companies continue to play a central role in sectors that are critical for our national security,” Biden said in a statement.
SEOUL - Authorities entered impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's compound on Friday to execute an unprecedented arrest warrant, evading a crowd of protesters outside, but were confronted with presidential security forces inside.
It was unclear whether the Presidential Security Service (PSS), which has previously blocked access by investigators with a search warrant to Yoon's office and official residence, would try to stop him being arrested. Yoon is under criminal investigation for insurrection over his Dec. 3. martial law attempt that stunned South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy and one of the region's most vibrant democracies.

An active member of the Army’s elite Special Forces shot himself in the head just before the explosion at the Trump Las Vegas hotel — but the FBI and local cops still do not know why he did it, authorities revealed on Thursday.
Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was found inside the vehicle with a “self-inflicted gunshot wound” to the head, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters.
McMahill added that a high-powered .50-caliber Desert Eagle handgun was found at Livelsberger’s. His body was so badly burned, it was unrecognizable, authorities said.
Democrat strategist James Carville admitted that he was “wrong about the 2024 election” in a New York Times op-ed, stating that President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris by “putting the economic anger of Americans front and center.”
Carville, who initially gained national notoriety for being the lead campaign strategist for former President Bill Clinton, conceded that his belief that Harris would beat Trump, who he called “pathetic” and a “loser” in the days leading up to November 5, was incorrect.
His opinion piece, published Thursday, began with, “I thought Kamala Harris would win. I was wrong. While I’m sure we Democrats can argue that the loss wasn’t a landslide
The Fighting Irish are moving on in the College Football Playoff, as No. 7 Notre Dame took down No. 2 Georgia, 23-10, to earn their spot in the semifinals.
Notre Dame will now face No. 6 Penn State, who beat No. 3 Boise State, next Thursday to determine who will head to the national championship game.
This game was supposed to be played on Wednesday night, but the horrific terror attack in New Orleans forced a postponement to Thursday afternoon. The Caesars Superdome was still packed for the matchup, where a moment of silence was had for those who were killed and injured by the senseless act of violence.

Joe Biden is preparing to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters, which will be “difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas.”
This last-ditch effort to block President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda is expected to be enshrined in an executive order, marking yet another chapter in Biden’s war on American energy.
Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.
Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson — come on down and collect your door prizes.
Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming who burned down every principal she ever held dear to engage in the J6 investigative crusade, and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chaired the Select Committee investigating a relatively mundane protest at the Capitol, are set to accept some very shiny participation awards.Joe Biden, currently serving as president in name only, will award the two committee circus ringleaders with the nation's second highest civilian award — the Presidential Citizens Medal.
The dynamic duo are two of 20 individuals set to be honored with the award on Thursday.
This is truly chilling, especially in the wake of today’s terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
A former CIA officer named Sarah Adams was interviewed on the Shawn Ryan podcast just two weeks ago, and warned that there are more than a thousand al-Qaeda sleepers in the United States right now who are planning major attacks on the homeland.
She clearly implicates Biden’s open southern border as the entry point for these potential terrorists and suggests that they have developed new tactics and bombs that can evade detection through traditional means.
Zero Hedge has more details:
NEW ORLEANS - Authorities held a press conference Thursday morning (Jan. 2), providing updates on the Bourbon Street terror attack that claimed the lives of 14 victims and injured 35 others early New Year’s Day.
FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia confirmed that 14 victims died in the attack, along with the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, bringing the total to 15 fatalities.
“This was a premeditated, evil act,” Raia told reporters. Officials revealed that Jabbar posted five videos between 1:20 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. on New Year’s Day, proclaiming support for ISIS.
In the first video, Raia says Jabbar expressed a desire to kill his friends and family, but ultimately desired
The disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin thinks it is only a matter of time before she is sent to an internment camp.
In an interview with Chicago’s WGN radio station this week, Griffin urged her fans to buy tickets to her latest tour, My Life On the PTSD List, before she is taken away by authorities.
“Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camp,” she said. “I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious.”
“He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup.
It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most.
"Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.
Is she drunk? Heavily medicated?
Fresh off of a hip transplant, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted a bizarre video to X on Thursday claiming she was on her way to DC to represent her constituents and share “San Francisco values.”
San Francisco values = Needles in the street, homelessness and rampant retail theft.
84-year-old Pelosi could barely open her eyes as she heavily slurred her words.“Hi, it’s Nancy. I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,”
Emboldened by correctly predicting Kamala would get the debate questions in advance (oh, I apologize, ABC, it was just the topics, not the questions, so it’s all good and you smell like a rose), I’m going to go way out on a limb with another prediction: Joe Biden will issue mass pardons to the J6 inmates. Before you say I’m crazy, here are numerous reasons why he might do it:
It steals Donald Trump’s thunder of doing it himself five minutes after the inauguration
Many J6 inmates are getting out anyway in a few weeks
The J6 insurrection narrative is going to collapse as the evidence comes out
A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence.
The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators.
In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”
The brother of the terrorist who launched the deadly car attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans says that “radicalization” is to blame for his kin’s rampage.
Abdur Jabbar, 24, of Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times that his brother Shamsud-Din Jabbar — who killed at least 15 people in the New Year’s Day attack — converted to Islam at an early age. (Photos)
The younger Jabbar told the newspaper that what his brother “did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
The FBI has remained silent on whether it will fire or discipline the agent who initially told the media and public that the shocking New Year's Day attack in New Orleans was "not a terrorist event," before the agency quickly backtracked and reported the attack was in fact under investigation as a terror incident. Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI's press office and press secretary on Thursday and Friday, inquiring whether New Orleans field office FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan would face termination or disciplinary action over her initial claim the attack was not connected
After Shamsud-din Jabbar’s New Orleans attack turned a New Year’s celebration into violent tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to show why it has forfeited the trust of the American people.
Jabbar affixed an ISIS flag to the pickup he drove at high speed into a crowd of revelers, killing at least 14 people.
Yet the FBI at first refused to call the attack what it plainly was: terrorism.
That’s even though it arrested a shocking 10 ISIS would-bes in 2024 alone, thankfully before they were able to carry out any attacks — including a 17-year-old in Arizona.
“This is not a terrorist event,”
