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.

Trump Holds 'Very Good' Call With China
0 replies
President-elect Donald Trump held a "very good" phone call with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday, discussing critical issues like the ongoing fentanyl crisis and the U.S. ban on TikTok. As the United States grapples with skyrocketing drug overdoses and concerns over Chinese-backed apps infiltrating American society, Trump’s direct approach to these matters stands in stark contrast to the lackluster responses from the current administration. By engaging with Xi, Trump signals his commitment to holding China accountable while safeguarding American interests, especially as the nation faces challenges that impact both national security and public health.
Judge Aileen Cannon during a hearing on Friday appeared skeptical of Merrick Garland’s plan to give Jack Smith’s Volume 2 final report on Trump’s classified documents case to Congress.
Cannon repeatedly asked DOJ lawyers why they needed to show the classified documents report to lawmakers. The Judge also asked if the final report was safeguarded from being leaked to the public.
“Why is there such urgency to disclose this to Congress right now, prior to the conclusion of the criminal proceeding — which would seem to be the ordinary course?” Cannon asked DOJ attorney Elizabeth Shapiro,
Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Kristin Crowley, the first woman and openly gay person to serve in the position, is facing calls to resign as the destructive wildfires rage on in Southern California.
Crowley has found herself in an awkward situation with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D), who has also received demands to step down, after she said the city “failed” her department and claimed that budget cuts “limited” their ability to respond to “large-scale events.” The fire chief, who was appointed by then-Mayor Eric Garcetti (D) in 2022, then “disappeared” into a closed-door meeting in Bass’s office last Friday “for so long that they missed
Washington— President Biden and his aides have spent their final days in office announcing 32 executive actions — on topics from immigration to offshore drilling — aimed at tying up President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.
The lame-duck 82-year-old’s flurry of late moves to try to make himself a hero to Democrats and obstruct his successor’s agenda include: (Photo) Deportation protection
.
Granting Temporary Protected Status to almost 1 million people, meaning they are protected from deportation and entitled to work permits. The action, decreed by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Jan. 10, shields 234,000 Salvadorans, 1,900 Sudanese, 104,000 Ukrainians and 600,000 Venezuelans for a period of 18 months.
As relieved as I am that Trump will take the helm of the nation on Monday, I will watch Joe Biden wander off into the sunset and the sand dunes of Rehoboth Beach with a slight pang of regret.Hear me out: Joe Biden was a one-man blooper reel. He was a never-ending source of fodder for columnists and humorists and never failed to amaze, baffle, and sometimes even terrify those of us tasked with chronicling and commenting on the last four years. Potential senility aside, were it not for the fact that he is a mean-spirited, corrupt, avaricious, and vindictive old man who felt entitled
A group of California firefighters stopped an alleged looter from robbing a burned-down house and jetting off with an Emmy Award that had miraculously survived the fiery carnage of the Eaton Fire.
Smoke eaters with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were working in a burned-down Altadena neighborhood on Thursday when they came across two suspicious people who were leaving one of the properties.
One of the firefighters confronted a woman – wearing a dark sweatshirt and skirt over sweatpants – carrying possessions from the home including the prestigious award.
Less than a week ago, readers might recall that Special Counsel Jack Smith announced his retirement from the Justice Department (DOJ)--as we noted, heading out the door before Trump could fire him. After that news made the rounds, Missouri GOP Senator Eric Schmitt reacted to it by not only sharing his thoughts on Smith's undistinguished tenure, but blasted the lawfare that happened during his time at the DOJ. That was only a harbinger of more troubles for the Biden administration's laxness in doing its job. On Friday, Sen. Schmitt is now ringing the warning bells about what he describes as an "unprecedented hack of sensitive FBI information"
Billionaire Bill Gates revealed he recently had an “intriguing” three-hour dinner with President-elect Donald Trump — and he was left “frankly impressed” by their sit-down.
“I had a chance, about two weeks ago, to go have a long and actually quite intriguing dinner with him,” Gates told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Friday.
The Microsoft co-founder, 69, said much of their “wide-ranging” dinner table chat focused on global health challenges.
“I felt like he was energized and looking forward to helping to drive innovation,” the tech titan said of Trump, 78. “I was frankly impressed with how well he showed a lot of interest in the issues

President-elect Donald Trump is moving to drain the swamp yet again, and this time, he is making it clear that his administration does not want anyone who worked for, or is endorsed by, politicians suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, providing a few examples.
“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people for The United States Government,” Trump announced on Truth Social on Thursday, describing them as “outstanding in every way.”
“… and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and it will happen very quickly!” he exclaimed before making his request clear, highlighting several politicians
It’s been a rather busy week in Florida news. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Attorney General Ashley Moody was replacing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who is expected to be confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of State. James Uthemier has also been named as Moody’s replacement. And, a special legislative session was called at the start this week, to take place on January 27. Not only are lawmakers to look into illegal immigration, but petition fraud as well.Last November, Amendment 3, which would have legalized recreational marijuana in the state, and Amendment 4, which would have allowed for unlimited abortions in the state, both enjoyed a majority support.
Multiple local police departments from areas surrounding Washington, DC will reportedly refuse to assist with security for Trump’s inauguration on Monday as the swearing-in ceremony has been moved indoors.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that President Trump announced his ceremony will be held inside the Capitol Rotunda, citing cold weather. However, there have also been concerns about Trump’s safety following the two recent assassination attempts.(Snip)
Local police refusing to help comes after the Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith announced last week that "nearly 4,000 officers from across the United States who were generous enough to raise their hands and commit their time
In the final weeks of any presidential administration, the assessments of their time in office - and their political legacy - pick up apace, with everyone wanting to give their opinions on where they went wrong and where they went right, how they stack up against past presidents, etc.
That has certainly been true not just for Joe Biden, but for members of his administrative team as well including Cabinet members like impeached Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who conservatives believe should not be remembered fondly due to his repeated failures to secure the southern border, as well as his obscene gaslighting when called to testify

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.

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.
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.

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

Far-left social media page Occupy Democrats has dubbed President-elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day a “National Day of Mourning,” and instructed its more than 10 million followers to wear black for the occasion.
While Martin Luther King Jr. Day will also be observed on Monday, the fake news outlet decided that it is not sufficient enough for anti-Trumpers, and issued a “friendly reminder” on Facebook on Thursday: [FB post]
“Don’t forget to wear all black on January 20th. National Day of Mourning,” the page, founded by Mexican-born brothers Omar and Rafael Rivero in 2012, stated.
The post was also shared on Instagram, where Occupy Democrats has another nearly 600,000 followers:
Joe Biden on Friday unilaterally declared a 28th Amendment to the US Constitution.
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has not been ratified.
The ERA states: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
There are currently 27 Amendments to the US Constitution, not 28.
Biden delivered remarks at a Department of Defense Commander in Chief farewell ceremony on Friday where he went on a screaming tyrannical rant about declaring a 28th Amendment.
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.

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Greenland Prime Minister Múte Egede stated that while they don’t want to be a part of America, there are a lot of areas for cooperation, including on boosting defense in the Arctic region and greater American partnership with regards to Greenland’s minerals.
Egede said that a strong partnership between the U.S. and Greenland is crucial, but “We don’t want to be Danes. We don’t even want to be Americans. We want to be Greenlanders. But we know that we have a lot…to cooperate together with, especially with the defense and security for the last years, we also have a strong

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.
Joe Biden just can’t seem to let go.
Although his presidency and his legacy have been thoroughly repudiated—whether it be through the polls, which show he’s one of the lowest-rates presidents of all time, or at the ballot box where his hand-picked successor Kamala Harris was brutalized in the November elections—his tenure has been thoroughly tainted by an astounding record of failure. Inflation has killed the dreams of regular folks as just paying for groceries has become a traumatic experience; young people have no hope of buying a home or living the American Dream—considering the crushing interest rates and noxious cost of living. Meanwhile, wars rage on the international stage.
He'll save the inedible bait fish, the weed that no one's ever heard of, elevate meritless executives, and kill the gas car. Those are the highest environmental aspirations of Gavin Newsom, the alleged visionary governor of California, whose distorted priorities have combined to create the conditions for LA Inferno 2025. As the smoke begins to clear, the cruel environy is dawning.
Even now, the homeless LA gliteratti, who soon may be allowed to sift through the ashes of their homes in hopes of finding the gold coins that looters haven't dug up yet, wonder how they could have been so gullible.
