Will Take Place
Posted By: Imright, 1/8/2025 8:24:37 PM
President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated in less than two weeks, and confirmation hearings for his Cabinet picks are set to begin even before that. On Wednesday night, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced that Pam Bondi's hearings will take place on January 15 and January 16. Bondi was selected as Trump's pick for attorney general late last November, the same day that former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) withdrew his name from consideration.

As wildfires sweep across Los Angeles County and residents flee their homes, some are using the opportunity to loot the neighborhoods and rob those who are already victims of the disaster.
Nearly 180,000 have been forced out of their homes as at least five fires burn, destroying thousands of acres, per NBC.
One woman told local KTLA that she started seeing cars pulling up, opening the doors, and “groups of men running up our street,” which she initially thought were people trying to help with evacuations.
However, her neighbor told her, “There were like 100 people that came up on scooters and were trying to get into
Update: On Thursday night, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing to take place on Friday, the president-elect put out a post over Truth Social, calling out Judge Juan Merchan and indicating he will appeal.In such a statement, Trump did not blame the justices, and even began by indicating that "I appreciate the time and effort of the United States Supreme Court in trying to remedy the great injustice done to me by the highly conflicted 'Acting Justice,' who should not have been allowed to try this case," referring to Judge Juan Merchan's title.

Trump’s Incredibly High Stakes

Last week, Mike Johnson was re-elected as a speaker. Just a couple of votes against Johnson could have denied him a first ballot win -- or aced him out entirely. Another drawn-out, multi-ballot fight for the speakership would have been a needless distraction for president-elect Trump. Trump means to get out of the gate running. So, he stepped in. He made the difference. He worked the phones and whipped wobbly Republicans into line, ensuring Johnson a bare majority victory. Art of the Deal met LBJ -- that other Johnson, Lyndon Baines, who as Senate majority leader and president dangled carrots and twisted arms with the best of them.
While much of the nation’s attention has been focused on the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral took place on Thursday. What was intended to be a somber occasion, however, quickly became charged with tension so thick attendees could feel it in the air.Among the ceremonial obligations to honor the former president, the spectacle of political posturing and strained handshakes was enough to quite the sideshow. It began with President Donald Trump walking past Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau’s side-eye was practically a headline in itself. (X)
Thousands of migrants are rushing to travel to the southern border before President-elect Donald Trump, according to multiple reports.
During the 2024 campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to close the border and begin mass deportations of illegal immigrants to fix the migrant crisis that began under President Joe Biden.One migrant from Honduras told CNN that she and others have been hurrying to make it to the border before the inauguration on January 20. She said they were told “that when Trump starts, he won’t let us in.”
Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told Breitbart News exclusively that every intelligence official from the various departments and agencies across the federal government currently detailed to the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House under outgoing President Joe Biden will be expected to vacate the premises by 12:01 p.m. Eastern on Inauguration Day when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated again.
Waltz, in a phone interview earlier this week, told Breitbart News that he is making sure everyone understands that it’s “crystal clear what the agenda is.”
The 2024 presidential election did a lot of separating the men from the boys. We already knew that Kamala Harris and the Democrats would do nothing but deliver more of the same, more of Joe Biden's disastrous policies. But it also did something else. While the curtain may have been parted a bit before the election on just who and what the media were, Donald Trump himself was responsible for yanking that curtain aside the rest of the way. The media may not realize it yet, but things are shaping up to be very different for them in 2025.
What's played out in American politics in the aftermath of Donald Trump's Election Day victory has been a pretty remarkable thing to watch unfold from my perch among my fellow cheap seat dwellers.I honestly can't recall a time in modern history when a President-Elect was essentially turned into the de facto president almost immediately. On the other hand, the sitting president - who was forced out of the presidential race by his own party - largely faded into the background, perhaps to sulk and/or reluctantly admit to himself that he is grateful his Oval Office roller coaster ride will soon be over.
It's been amazing to see some of Trump's
The Senate on Thursday voted to advance the Laken Riley Act.
Senators voted to break the filibuster on the Laken Riley Act to greenlight debate on the bill.
A vote to pass the bill is expected next week.
(X) Earlier this week the House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act in a 264 – 159 vote. 216 Republicans and 48 Democrats voted in favor of deporting criminal aliens.
159 America-hating House Democrats voted against it in favor of rapists and murderers.
(X) The bill requires ICE to arrest and detain illegal aliens like Laken Riley’s murderer until they are removed from the US.
We reported earlier on some of the priceless interactions between the various presidents, vice presidents, and their spouses at the state funeral for former President Jimmy Carter. We saw President Trump shake hands with his former VP Mike Pence, despite what can only be considered strained feelings between the two these days. There was the chilly interaction between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris, and the ridiculous reason that Michelle Obama wasn't there. There was Joe Biden, looking out of it, as usual. (Snip) But as the funeral went on there was another priceless moment that I had to share -- Kamala Harris' reaction to Barack Obama talking with Trump.
Trump-hating ABC host David Muir was caught on tape letting personal vanity slip in as he reported on the Southern California wildfires and ended up humiliating himself in front of the whole country.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, a massive 3,000-acre wildfire raged out of control and engulfed homes in Pacific Palisades, California, on Tuesday afternoon. Shocking and heartbreaking footage has emerged showing people abandoning their cars and running for their lives as the fire closes in.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass finally returned from her taxpayer-funded escapade to Africa on Wednesday, and she's been feeling the heat ever since. She left for the inexplicable photo-op even as fires were already kicking up near her city, leaving a void of leadership during a crucial time. Since touching down back in America, Bass has faced numerous questions about why she was even in Ghana in the first place. Remember, this was an "official" trip paid for by taxpayers. Why does the mayor of California's largest city need to be part of a delegation to a third-world African nation?

Frigid air that normally stays trapped in the Arctic has escaped, plunging deep into the United States for an extended visit that is expected to provoke teeth-chattering but not be record-shattering.
It’s a cold air outbreak that some experts say is happening more frequently, and paradoxically, because of a warming world.(snip) “There’s a climate change signal in that,” Francis said.
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the world, which means the difference between temperatures up north and down south are shrinking, Francis said. Arctic sea ice is shrinking,

Among President Trump’s promises during the 2024 campaign was to “medically discharge” transgender men and women from the U.S. military. But would Americans support such a move? A plurality of voters say no, revealing a deep political split over the issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
While no specific proposal has yet actually been put forward, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked this question: “News reports suggest President-elect Trump is considering an executive order to discharge all transgender service members and ban future enlistments, potentially affecting 15,000 active personnel. Do you support or oppose this plan?”
What some see as a shot across the bow aimed at President-elect Donald Trump, Pope Francis announced Monday that left-wing Cardinal Robert McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego would be the next archbishop of Washington.
McElroy, 70, will succeed the retiring archbishop, Cardinal Wilton Gregory, 77, who shepherded the more than 600,000 Catholics who live in the nation’s capital region.
Gregory has not been afraid to oppose abortion in the public square, but angered some Catholics with his restriction on the traditional Latin Mass.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Monday sent a 33-page rant to Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth defending the Biden administration’s woke policies in the military and expressing concern that he would reverse them if confirmed.
In a letter sent to Hegseth on Tuesday and made public, Warren — who lied on teaching applications about her race — expressed concerns about Hegseth’s views opposing Marxist-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and wokeness in the military, and concern that he would actually implement President-elect Donald Trump’s policies at the Pentagon.
Karen Pence refused to acknowledge President-elect Donald Trump and Melania Trumpas they arrived at the Washington National Cathedral Thursday for the funeral of President Jimmy Carter. The former second lady was seated next to her husband, former Vice President Mike Pence, and remained seated as the Trumps arrived.
She made no effort to shake hands with Melania Trump, who she worked hand-in-hand with when their husbands were in office during Trump's first term. Mike Pence shook hands with Donald Trump after former Vice President Al Gore did the same. It was their first public interaction since 2021. Karen Pence remained seated, looking forward, the whole time.
As wildfires ravage Southern California, homeowners in Pacific Palisades find themselves grappling with an unbearable reality: their homes are burning, and their insurance policies—once their safety net—were canceled just months ago by State Farm.
In a move justified by the company as a strategy to avoid “financial failure,” State Farm canceled over 72,000 homeowners’ policies statewide, with Pacific Palisades—a now-charred affluent neighborhood—bearing a significant brunt.
James Woods, a renowned actor and Pacific Palisades resident, summed up the community’s frustration on social media.
“Actually, one of the major insurance companies canceled all the policies in our neighborhood about four months ago,” he wrote.

The Left’s high priestess of political drama has spoken again. Her recent diatribe regarding all things January 6 is a master class in projection, denial, lack of self-awareness, and gaslighting.
Let’s go to the tape:
So, today, January 6, the certification of the last presidential election happened in Washington, and it just happened ministerially and ceremonially, like it's supposed to. And that contrast with what happened today versus what happened four years ago makes clear the profound difference
President-elect Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that he would rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
Trump revealed his vision for rebranding the gulf during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. (X Video) “We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump announced.
“The Gulf of America; what a beautiful name, and it’s appropriate,” Trump added. “And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.” Trump’s announcement comes as he has recently focused on nearby territories and the U.S.-constructed Panama Canal.
Los Angeles' budget is in the spotlight as multiple wildfires rage around the city amid revelations that Mayor Karen Bass slashed the fire department's budget last year while prioritizing spending on the city's homeless population.
For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, Los Angeles budgeted $837 million for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), which was roughly 65% the size of the homeless budget of $1.3 billion. An analysis by L.A.'s city comptroller last year found that roughly half the budget for homelessness went unspent.

Democrats for Being ‘Too Reflexively Anti-Republican’ 26 replies
New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined a growing number of Democrats who are seeking to work as much as possible with President-elect Donald Trump in his second term.
Ocasio-Cortez, who belongs to the progressive faction of her party in Congress, said in remarks to Punchbowl News on Wednesday that she will support policies from Trump that align with her beliefs.
“The reason why I think oftentimes Democrats occasionally lose elections is because we’re too reflexively anti-Republican, and that we don’t lean into an ambitious vision for working-class Americans strongly enough,” she told the outlet.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is blaming the raging California wildfires on climate change.
“80,000 people told to evacuate. Blazes 0% contained. Eight months since the area has seen rain. The scale of damage and loss is unimaginable,” the senator began before blaming the devastation not on poor fire management but on climate change. “Climate change is real, not ‘a hoax,'” he said, demanding President-elect Donald Trump to “treat this like the existential crisis it is.” (X)

Elon Musk took yet another jab at Justin Trudeau after the disgraced Canadian Prime Minister tried to take a final stand against President-elect Donald Trump's rhetoric suggesting the United States could absorb the Great White North. Last month, Trump kicked off the entire controversy when he slammed Trudeau for bristling at his potential tariff threat to persuade northern leaders to tighten border security.
Trump joked, "If Canada can't survive without ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and Trudeau could become its governor."
Since that point, the 47th President has consistently chided Trudeau on social media.
