Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that President-elect Donald Trump was politicizing wildfires in Southern California. Reporter Jacob Soboroff asked, “President-elect Trump has blamed you for this crisis. He’s called you incompetent. What’s your response?”Newsom said, “Well, I called for him to come out, take a look for himself. We want to do it in the spirit of an open hand, not a closed fist. He’s the president-elect. I respect the office. We have a president of the United States that within 36 hours provided a major disaster declaration over a text.

President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the FBI preserve all records from its Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) office, which has reportedly closed.
Trump took to Truth Social to call for the preservation of records. “We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago,” Trump wrote.
“Why is it that they’re closing one day before the Inauguration of a new Administration? The reason is, CORRUPTION!” he added.
Trump linked this to a Mediate story, citing Fox News, detailing that the FBI had shuttered its DEI office.
Vivek Ramaswamy will announce a run for governor for Ohio, according to the Washington Post and The Hill.
RINO Governor Mike DeWine’s term ends in 2026.
In November President Trump announced Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head the Department of Government Efficiency.
“I am pleased to announced that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy,
A former migrant shelter director in Massachusetts described the chaos he saw under the state's right-to-shelter laws, saying that the influx of illegal immigrants has clogged the state's infrastructure and that there is virtually no vetting for the surge of border crossers.
Massachusetts spent nearly $1.1 billion of taxpayers' money this fiscal year to house and feed migrants streaming into the state, often in hotels that have been converted to shelters. However, taxpayers have at times found themselves boxed out of shelters as immigrants have crowded the system and taken priority, said Jon Fetherston, who acted as a migrant shelter director at the Marlborough Holiday Inn
President-elect Trump confirmed Friday that he spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping days before Trump will be inaugurated into office.
"I just spoke to Chairman Xi Jinping of China. The call was a very good one for both China and the U.S.A.," Trump posted on Truth Social.
"It is my expectation that we will solve many problems together, and starting immediately. We discussed balancing Trade, Fentanyl, TikTok, and many other subjects. President Xi and I will do everything possible to make the World more peaceful and safe!"
Barack Obama has shut down divorce rumors by posting a gushing tribute to the 'love of his life' Michelle Obama in honor of her 61st birthday on Friday.
Speculation erupted that the couple of more than 30 years was having marital problems after fans began to notice that Michelle has been mysteriously absent from her husband's side in recent weeks.
But the former President, 63, proved that they're still going strong when he uploaded a'Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama,' he wrote, alongside a snap that showed them holding hands while enjoying dinner.
'You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace
Pastor Brandon Biggs, who gained nationwide attention after accurately predicting the assassination attempt on Donald Trump months before it occurred, has sounded the alarm once again.
This time, the stakes are even higher, as he claims to have received visions of a sprawling, orchestrated attack targeting Trump, his properties, and key U.S. landmarks.
Biggs first gained attention when his detailed vision of an attempt on Trump’s life came true, as previously reported by The Gateway Pundit.
Biggs, at the 11-minute mark of the video, posted three months before Trump’s assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, said, ” I saw Trump rising up, and then I saw an attempt on his life.
Democrats are likely to delay the confirmation of Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth until after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, leaving the Pentagon without a confirmed leader, according to Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS).
Wicker told Politico Thursday that although Hegseth has the votes to be confirmed as defense secretary, Democrats are likely to drag it out as long as possible, until as late as Thursday. “I expect our Democratic friends will delay it to the extent to which they are free to do under the rules. Wednesday, Thursday perhaps,” Wicker told the outlet.
“This is not something that needs to drag out,” he added
Fani Willis Demands More Taxpayer Money

Fulton County DA Fani Willis is calling for a funding boost from the county after she spent over three-quarters of a million dollars on the salary of a subordinate she slept with. At a news conference Monday morning, Willis accused Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts along with the rest of the Board of Commissioners of not "doing their job" allocating the budget better.
Willis insisted that in order to adequately perform her duties, she needs more money to hire additional staff.
"If the District Attorney's Office doesn't have the right amount of attorneys, investigators—we can't continue to excel and to make progress for our city,"
As Jim Hoft reported earlier, President Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, sat before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Friday morning at 9 AM Eastern.
Noem is the Governor of South Dakota, a position she has held since 2019. Before that, Noem was a popular US House of Representatives member.
While Noem’s questioning has been far more professional compared to that of Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth and Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) proved completely unprepared for questioning and was promptly embarrassed.
The US Supreme Court unanimously upheld a law Friday that would force TikTok’s sale from a Chinese state-owned firm, even as President Biden and President-elect Donald Trump have sought to block the divestment.
The nine justices ordered the qualified divestment by Jan. 19 of the California-based social media platform from Beijing-based ByteDance.
“There is no doubt that, for more than 170 million Americans, TikTok offers a distinctive and expansive outlet for expression, means of engagement, and source of community,” read the key portion of the unsigned opinion.
“But Congress has determined that divestiture is necessary to address its well-supported national security concerns regarding TikTok’s data collection practices and relationship with a foreign adversary,”
It's such a great thing listening to all the final remarks and ceremonies of the Biden team. It's the countdown of a really bad time in the life of the country with a bright light on the other end coming on January 20. One of my favorite things so far is how despondent Jill Biden appears, now that they will be out of power.
It's so humorous that Biden's Department of Defense even gave him and Jill "Distinguished Public Service" medals so they could feel like they did something. Nothing says Soviet Union-like but awarding yourself a medal.

House and Senate Leadership for a Shortened

Sometimes, the jokes write themselves.
On Thursday, Politico congressional reporter Nicholas Wu posted a letter to social media platform X dated to the same day from the Congressional Progressive Staff Association — which is 1,500 members strong.
In it, the association asks both House and Senate leaders to implement a shorter workday at 32 hours a week.
Seriously: (X} The entire letter is roughly two and a half pages and reads like something written by a child trying to convince his mother that, on the contrary, its actually very beneficial to have ice cream before dinner.

According to The New York Post, Hunter’s artworks went up in flames as wildfires continued to ravage the city, leaving thousands of properties in its wake.
The report states:
A trove of nearly 200 artworks by Hunter Biden has been destroyed — one of the casualties of the wildfires ravaging Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

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.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) will skip President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Monday, a spokesperson for the congresswoman said.
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.

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.
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.
Both government-backed corporations are offering 12-month forbearance plans, meaning that struggling homeowners could either reduce or suspend their mortgage payments for up to a year without incurring late fees,
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.
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.”

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.

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
