Posted By: ladydawgfan, 1/17/2025 3:01:11 PM
It’s been a case that’s been ongoing for months, though it’s been buried in a host of other matters, not least the 2024 election, the war in the Middle East, and many other issues that for sure suffocated a lawsuit that seemed poised to gut CNN to its core. ABC News isn’t the only network that got in trouble recently. (Snip) After a lengthy discovery process and a days’ long trial, the network has been found liable and must award Young punitive, emotional, and economic damages. The damage so far is $5 million. The punitive damages are to be determined.

Thomas More Society attorneys officially submitted pardon petitions to the incoming Trump administration this week on behalf of 21 pro-life advocates they say have been “unjustly convicted” by President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ).
“With these requests for presidential pardons for 21 peaceful pro-life advocates, we urge President Trump to right the grievous wrongs of the Biden administration’s weaponization of the Department of Justice,” Thomas More Society Senior Counsel Steve Crampton said in a statement, adding:
These 21 peaceful pro-lifers, many of whom are currently imprisoned for bravely standing up for unborn life, are upstanding citizens and pillars of their communities.
President-elect Donald Trump had a 95 percent chance of defeating President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race in July, the president’s pollsters estimated, the New York Times reported Friday.
Biden said two weeks ago he believed he could have defeated Trump if he had stayed in the race.
The comment caused Vice President Kamala Harris to reportedly say she was “disappointed” in Biden’s comment after she the president against allegations of his deteriorating mental acuity, never disclosing any information that team Biden did not want aired publicly.
The pollster’s forecast was published in a Times article about Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) July 13, 2024, 45-minute meeting with Biden
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has introduced legislation to authorize the president to suspend all aid to Honduras in response to its threat to shut down the U.S.’s military base in the country if President-elect Donald Trump enforces mass deportations of illegal Honduran migrants.
The U.S. military has maintained a “temporary but indefinite” presence at Soto Cano Air Base near the city of Comayagua since the early 1980s, when it was designated as the headquarters for Joint Task Force 11 (now called Joint Task Force-Bravo, or JTF-Bravo), according to a 1989 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.
Today, the base houses more than 500 U.S. military personnel
MALIBU, California — A team of Israeli firefighters arrived Thursday in Southern California to assist local firefighters in fighting the Palisades Fire, as well as to share insights and learn from the state’s experience in battling the blaze.
The delegation, including wildfire expert Shay Levy, included experts from a variety of fields, including an expert in hydraulics and an officer from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who specializes in the use of artificial intelligence for search and rescue.
The delegation landed and immediately proceeded to the fire zone, where they drove through Pacific Palisades to study the damage caused by the devastating fire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called President Trump on Thursday and thanked him for his assistance in brokering the peace agreement and hostage release with the Hamas terrorists.
As reported earlier, President-elect Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Scott Witkoff was the deciding factor in securing a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, but President Joe Biden nevertheless took a victory lap anyway.
According to Arab officials, Witkoff did more to move Netanyahu toward a ceasefire in a single meeting than Joe Biden did the entire previous year.
On Thursday Prime Minister Netanyahu called President Trump and thanked him.

Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn believes Joe Biden will go down as one of the greatest presidents in American history.
In an interview on MSNBC’s Chris Jansing Reports, the South Carolina congressman said that history will judge Biden kindly.
“Given everything that was in place when he took office, Covid the economic challenges, do you think that this was in some ways inevitable?” Jansing asked.
”And how do you think history will judge this presidency?”
Clyburn responded:
I think that he will go down as one of the greatest presidents we ever had.
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, a positive trend is emerging, which is an uptick in self-deportations among illegal immigrants.
“Self-deportation helps Trump to achieve his goals without the government having to spend or do anything,” the Associated Press reported.
Among them was Michel Bérrios, a former leader of a Nicaraguan student uprising, who left the United States just days before the New Year began.
Proving why she doesn’t deserve to stay here on the taxpayers’ dime, Bérrios trashed the U.S. before departing, saying Americans are cold-hearted.
In this episode of "The Lady Geniuses of 'The View'"...
With President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration just three days away as I write, the ladies of ABC's "The View," the most ridiculous talk show on the planet, remain crestfallen that the Devil's spawn will succeed the most miserably failed president in U.S. history, with the cognitively vacant Biden riding off into the sunset — or to a memory care facility, whichever comes first. Either way, the ladies are still crushed.
And bitter.
Did I mention that Joy Behar also blamed Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for world hunger? Yeah.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem had her confirmation hearing on Friday as nominee for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS oversees many agencies/departments, including FEMA, the TSA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Secret Service, as well as all the immigration departments, including U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Senate Homeland Security Chair Rand Paul (R-KY) said that the DHS mission had been "deeply distorted" and had "lost its way," and he hoped Noem would be able to bring change. The ranking member, Gary Peters (D-MI), raised concerns about terrorism and cyberattacks

7th Starship Launch, but Then There Was
a Big Problem 2 replies
Elon Musk has done some astonishing things with SpaceX, including being able to bring back a booster and catch it, in a pretty incredible feat.
He managed that again in a stunning display during the seventh flight test of the Starship unmanned mega-rocket from Starbase in South Texas, showing the first time wasn't a fluke. It had a successful lift-off, then separation of the upper and lower stage, with the lower stage making it back to Starbase to be caught by the tower. [Tweet, video]
They refer to it as the "Chopsticks" catch. [Tweet, video]
That was the lower stage.
On Friday, the Senate voted to clear another hurdle when it comes to passing the Laken Riley Act. By a vote of 61-35, with 60 votes needed, the chamber voted to end debate on the bill. All 51 Republicans who voted did so to advance the bill, with 10 Democrats joining. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) did not vote, although he is a cosponsor of the bill and in strong support.
Democrats voting to advance the bill included Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly of Arizona, Jon Ossoff of Arizona, Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada,

The Safeway Food Store in the Filmore District of San Francisco has been beset with shoplifters and other criminal activity for years. The company finally decided in December that it had enough and was closing the doors of the store for good.
George Gibbs, a long-time shopper at the store, acknowledges the problems. "I've seen people running out the door with stuff and running across the parking lot," he said. "I've seen folks walk out in handcuffs for stealing something."
Black Lives Matter activists are now demanding that the store stay open or that another low-cost food store take its place.
Under Mark Zuckerberg’s leadership, Meta Platforms – what most people think of as Facebook – has demonstrated a pattern of actions that starkly contradict its professed commitment to free speech. This duplicity not only undermines public trust but also raises serious concerns about the company’s role in shaping public discourse.
A glaring example of Meta’s hypocrisy is its handling of political figures.
Don’t forget that they proudly throttled posts about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election to protect Joe Biden, even having a Facebook spokesman post on Twitter that they were doing so.
Toxic RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK) was asked whether she will confirm Trump’s nominees on Thursday as confirmations hearings were underway.
Several of Trump’s Cabinet nominees have faced questioning from senators this week.
A Daily Caller reporter caught up with Lisa Murkowski and asked her whether she will vote to confirm Trump’s Cabinet picks.
Murkowski said it’s “premature.”
“I think it’s premature to ask where I will be on any nominee until this process actually gets moving. I’m doing what I do best which is learning a lot,” Murkowski said.

Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii faced mockery on social media on Thursday over her opening questions to Interior Secretary nominee Doug Burgum during his confirmation hearing. "As part of my responsibilities to ensure the fitness of nominees before any of the committees on which I sit, I ask the following two initial questions," Hirono said to Burgum on Thursday. "First is, since you became a legal adult, have you ever made unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature?"
"No, senator, I have not," Burgum responded.
"Have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement related to
President Joe Biden on Jan. 17 announced he has ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), despite the U.S. archivist recently saying the president could not ratify the constitutional amendment.(snip)
The U.S. archivist and U.S. deputy archivist said in late 2024 that the president could not ratify the amendment because the amendment did not receive the required support from three-fourths of the states by the deadline Congress imposed, which was June 30, 1982.
The Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2020, while Donald Trump was president, and in 2022, after Biden took office, also said that ratification cannot occur unless Congress or the courts extend or remove the ratification deadline.
As deadly wildfires continue scorching their way through Los Angeles and the surrounding area for the second straight week, homeowners are worried about the prospect of defaulting on their mortgages in the wake of the unprecedented disaster were offered some reprieve from the nation’s major lenders.
On Monday, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac unveiled mortgage assistance and relief options for customers reeling from the historic Southern California fires.

While the spokesperson did not disclose a reason why Pelosi will be absent from the event to ABC News, the longtime California lawmaker claimed in a January 5 episode of CBS’s Face the Nation that Trump “called out to these people to continue their violence” on January 6, 2021, and that her husband, Paul Pelosi, ended up “being a victim of all of that” rhetoric.However, she was present for the certification of the presidential election results on January 6, the day after she made that statement on CBS, ABC reported.
Netanyahu’s office says cabinet won’t meet to approve ceasefire deal until Hamas backs down on 'last minute concessions'
Israel’s security cabinet has delayed a planned meeting to approve a ceasefire and hostage deal with Hamas in Gaza, with Benjamin Netanyahu’s office accusing Hamas of attempting to obtain ‘last minute concessions’ on some aspects of the deal.
Reuters quotes Netanyahu’s office saying “Hamas reneges on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last minute concessions. The Israeli cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.”
The issue of child grooming has been something conservatives have been sounding alarm bells over for years thanks in part to leftist legislators who think introducing LGBTQ propaganda to children as part of the school curriculum is a good thing, and to educators who eagerly go along with it.
There has also been the rise of so-called "kid-friendly" drag queens, and hyper-sexualized content on Disney, with the latter's opposition to Florida's parental rights bill being one big flashpoint for the national debate on what was needed to be done to protect children - and the rights of their parents
