The British Media Chimes In: Kamala's 'Devastating Humiliation'

RedState  

"While today is America's day, it's interesting to watch what the rest of the world's media thinks of our affairs. In some ways, the British and Australian media give us more detailed and accurate reporting on American political affairs than the American legacy media does — not that this is a difficult hurdle to surmount.

"The UK Daily Mail, on Monday, was focused not only on the incoming President Trump but on his former electoral opponent — and her "final humiliation."

Kamala Harris faced her final devastating humiliation on Monday as she was forced to watch Donald Trump being inaugurated as President of the United States.

Harris looked grim-faced and forlorn as she arrived at the ceremony on Capitol Hill, failing to raise a smile as she walked in with President Joe Biden.

She kept her thoughts to herself but to onlookers it appeared as though she was quietly fuming as her time as Vice President came to a brutal end.

"The schadenfreude, it is strong with this one. And the 45th and 47th President of the United States didn't let her off easily." . . .

Karma: Brett Kavanaugh Delivers Fitting Coup de Grace to Kamala Harris' Failed Presidential Candidacy  . . ."The second time around had to be the most painful (and humiliating) of all for her, however, considering she lost not just to the Democrats' arch nemesis but also because it was Justice Kavanaugh who swore in her replacement on Monday as she looked on:

  6 years ago, presidential hopeful Kamala Harris helped spread false accusations against Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process. Today, Justice Kavanaugh stands in front of Kamala Harris while swearing in Vice President JD Vance. 

Trump announces executive actions on immigration, DEI, energy ahead of inauguration

 NPR


"Trump is expected to declare a national emergency at the U.S. southern border, designate criminal cartels as terror groups and end birthright citizenship for children born to immigrant parents without legal status, according to incoming White House officials who spoke to reporters on a call on condition of background.Trump will also reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which would require some asylum seekers at the southern border to wait in Mexico for their hearings in U.S. immigration court, the officials said.

"The moves are some of 10 sweeping executive actions on border security that incoming officials say Trump plans to sign on Monday:

  1. Declare a national emergency at the border: The officials on the call said this action will allow U.S. armed forces to finish the border wall and allow the secretary of defense to deploy members of the armed forces and National Guard to the border.
  2. "Clarify" the military's role in border security: This action "directs the military to prioritize our borders" and protect territorial integrity "by repelling forms of invasion, including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking and other criminal activities," the officials said.
  3. End "catch and release," continue building the wall, and end "Remain in Mexico"
  4. Designate criminal cartels as terrorists: This will allow the U.S. to more easily remove members of groups like Tren de Aragua, a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela, and MS-13.
  5. Suspend refugee resettlement: The official said the U.S. would suspend refugee resettlement for at least four months.
  6. End asylum and close the border to those without legal status via proclamation: Officials said they are planning to end asylum entirely and close the border to those without legal status via proclamation, "which creates an immediate removal process without possibility of asylum."
  7. End birthright citizenship: The officials said the White House plans to end birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in the 14th Amendment. They argued the amendment does not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents without legal status. This action is likely to see immediate legal challenges.
  8. Enhance vetting and screening: The officials said they are going to "enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens."
  9. "Protect American citizens against invasion": Officials said this "equips agents and officers of ICE and CBP with the authorities" they need to deport people from the U.S.
  10. Restore the death penalty: "This action in particular, directs the Attorney General to seek capital punishment for the murder of law enforcement officers and capital crimes committed by illegal aliens. It encourages state agencies and district attorneys to bring capital state charges for these crimes," the officials said.

Defining 'sex' and ending DEI programs Trump will sign an executive action on Monday that says it's the policy of the United States to recognize two biologically distinct sexes — male and female — an incoming White House official speaking on background told reporters Monday.

National energy emergency and "electric vehicle mandate  . . ."The action will end what incoming Trump officials call the "electric vehicle mandate" and will end "efforts to curtail consumer choice on the things that consumers use every single day, whether it be showerheads, whether it be gas stoves, whether it be dishwashers and the like," the official said." . . .

Iranian Mullahs About to Face a Trump Tornado

 Struan Stevenson; Townhall 

[former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo . . .painted a bleak picture for the mullahs, stating that the fall of Bashar al-Assad was a precursor for the fall of the theocratic Iranian regime: 



 "The Iranian regime is at its weakest point since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini hijacked the 1979 revolution to seize power. Their Shi’ite axis of resistance in Syria, Gaza, and Lebanon has crumbled with the decapitation of Hamas and Hezbollah and the fall of the brutal Assad regime. Even Vladimir Putin was unable to save their mutual friend and ally – Bashar al-Assad - from overthrow. Now they face the daunting prospect of another four years with Donald Trump in charge in America. He will hold the mullahs to account. He has appointed General Keith Kellogg, former National Security Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, as his envoy for Ukraine and Russia.

"Addressing a National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) conference in Paris on Saturday, 11 January, General Kellogg said: “For the United States, a policy of maximum pressure must be reinstated, and it must be reinstated with the help of the rest of the globe, and that includes standing with the Iranian people and their aspirations for democracy.”He said that for Iran’s 95 million population, “2025 is the year for Hope, Action, and Change”. As a member of President Trump’s incoming White House team, General Kellogg's remarks were an Important Indication of the new administration's policy on Iran.

"Several distinguished former prime ministers, ministers, diplomats, and generals had also gathered in Paris to speak in support of a robust policy on Iran, expressing support for the main democratic opposition to the mullahs’ theocratic regime and showing their support for the charismatic and courageous NCRI leadership of Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. The mullahs’ predictable reaction to the Paris conference was absolute hysteria. They even summoned the French ambassador to remonstrate with him for allowing the conference to take place. This is the best possible indication of the success of the conference and the disintegrating weakness of the theocratic regime."

State Farm makes major policy U-turn following devastating LA fires

UK Daily Mail


"State Farm will offer renewals to policyholders affected by the devastating wildfires that it had previously planned to drop. In a major U-turn, the insurance company said it would renew policies in the badly-hit Pacific Palisades neighborhood , alongside thousands more in Los Angeles county, The LA Times reported. However, the offer does not apply to policies that had already lapsed when the deadly fires started on January 7."

Barack Obama Move During Inauguration Weekend Fuels Relationship Rumors

 RTM   I have passed over a number of posts regarding this, but am beginning to believe there may be some credence to this. TD


"In a notable appearance during inauguration weekend, former President Barack Obama was seen dining solo at one of Washington D.C.’s newest upscale establishments, fueling conversation about his wife Michelle’s announced absence from the upcoming ceremonies and offering a glimpse into the capital’s evolving political social scene.

"The former president made an unexpected entrance at Osteria Mozza, Stephen Starr’s latest culinary venture in Georgetown, on Saturday night. 

"His arrival created an immediate stir among diners, who welcomed him with spontaneous applause before he proceeded to a private dining room upstairs. 

"Some have even speculated that this move points to broader signs of a possible divorce amongst the Obamas, Resist the Mainstream previously outlined." . . .

Bye Bye, Bidens

American Thinker 

 "Well, when I say “Joe Biden tweeted,” I mean “whichever nameless White House guy with a lanyard controls Biden’s social media accounts tweeted.' ”

Rich Terrell

Biden: After I’m Gone, I Don’t Care What Happens   . . . "If you paid the slightest bit of attention, it has been obvious for years that Biden, always a mendacious back-bencher hack, was suffering from mental and physical disabilities and was merely a puppet for those pulling the strings. Speaker Mike Johnson related his experience in an interview on Free Press. When he was finally able to push back Biden’s protective phalanx for a one-on-one discussion, he asked Biden why three days before he had halted LNG exports to Europe, a move which made no political or economic sense. Biden denied having done that. (Did the twerps on his staff simply set the automatic signature device on and shove executive orders into it?)

"The New York Times wants us to believe their togas remain pristine -- that they had no idea the Oval Office was occupied by a marionette whose strings were pulled by unnamed puppet masters. They admit what we saw and what the legacy press so long denied: how his staff arranged meetings around his moods, delayed sharing information with him (like negative polling data), surrounded him as he walked to his helicopter to hide the fact he couldn’t walk normally, had him use a teleprompter for even small gatherings, and replaced the steps to his plane with a shorter set.  Mark Halperin is not giving them a pass: ”They print the claims of Biden aides and Biden friends as if they’re true, And there are so many examples of public loss of mental acuity they don’t even mention…. This should never happen again, We should never have an ‘emperor’s new clothes’ conspiracy between an administration of either party and the press corps.”

"The loss of credibility has been a significant factor in the loss of readers and viewers, but the media are now facing additional setbacks. Courts no longer give them the presumption of good faith when they engage in defamation. Trump sued ABC for defamation and received $15 million and an apology from George Stephanopoulos; this week CNN was ordered to pay $5 million for defaming a man who helped people out of Afghanistan during our disastrous withdrawal and apparently will pay out additional sums in punitive damages in a settlement the terms of which are not yet public; and the WSJ indicated CBS  may settle Trump’s $10 billion suit against it for election interference based on a doctored tape of an interview with Kamala Harris, apparently to make her seem more coherent than she was. Fingers to the wind, the owners of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post are making efforts at fair coverage in a belated attempt to rise from the depths to the waterline." . . . 

Jill Biden: The Worst First Lady Ever 

"It’s easy to see why so many have compared Jill Biden to Lady Macbeth. She certainly seems to be a woman who, motivated by her own power, orchestrated her husband’s treacherous attempt to be reelected president. (Treacherous because Joe’s cognitive dysfunction made him unfit for office.) 

"Jill Biden’s interview with the Washington Post served only to reinforce the narrative that it was she who was the animating force behind that widely denounced reelection bid." . . . 

Crime Family – Joe Biden Pardons His Brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.  "Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family.  Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.

"The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct." . . .

Biden's Latest Unbelievable Statement on Hamas Has People Calling Him 'Nuts'

 Nick Arama   

Plus, no, Biden isn't going to be involved with this deal in the future. Once he's out the door on Monday, he's done. Even on that, he appears delusional. Maybe this isn't surprising when this guy is inventing a 28th Constitutional amendment out of thin air. Biden has left so many messes for Trump to unspool. But finally, one day left, and then we'll be free. 


"Joe Biden is of course taking full credit for the ceasefire currently in effect right now between Israel and Hamas, refusing to acknowledge that it wouldn't have happened without President-elect Donald Trump. Trump threatened there would be "hell to pay" if they didn't turn over the hostages and that moved the needle on the deal. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, recognized Trump's critical role." . . .  "Even Biden's own State Department spokesperson Matt Miller acknowledged it. "

          Matthew Miller: "When it comes to the involvement of President-elect Trump's team, it              has been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line."

 "It's just Biden who stubbornly wants to reject the obvious. 

"But he's completely clueless, as he revealed again on Sunday when he was asked about Hamas. This may be one of the most ignorant, dumb comments he's ever made (and that's saying something). " . . .

"Others pointed out how this just continued Joe Biden's foreign policy ignorance. Here's his clueless take on Afghanistan, claiming the Afghan Army would beat back the Taliban. He also lied about the intel on it, and had an empty-eyed look. That was 2021. It was that bad even then. 

"Commenter Douglas Ritz responded to Yashar Ali on X:" . . .

Trump Tags Space Force Officer Dismissed by Biden Over Criticizing DEI for Role in New Administration

 Ward Clark 

 LTC Lohmeier was, before moving to the Space Force, an F-15 pilot. He was a Space Force Squadron commander (roughly the equivalent of a battalion commander in the Army or Marine Corps) prior to his dismissal.

"The incoming Trump administration is still staffing up key roles, replacing the Biden appointees with people who actually know what they're doing. That's an unalloyed good thing, but in this process, President-elect Trump is also bringing some justice to some people who were unfairly separated from the Armed Services. People like former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Matthew Lohmeier, who was discharged after criticizing the Space Force's "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" (DEI) horse squeeze. LTC Lohmeier will be serving the Trump administration as Under-secretary of the Air Force.

President-elect Trump announced Friday that Matthew Lohmeier will serve as the under secretary of the Air Force.

“Matt is a former fighter pilot, and Space Force Squadron Commander, who has devoted his life to serving our Great Nation,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “He is a proud graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy.”

In 2021, Lohmeier was fired from the Space Force, where he served as a lieutenant colonel, after criticizing the U.S. military on a conservative podcast. Lohmeier joined “The Steve Gruber Show” to discuss his book “Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military,” which claims that Marxist beliefs have become increasingly common in the military. In the same appearance, he also called The New York Times’s 1619 Project “anti-American.”

"Bear in mind that there are certain restrictions on active military members appearing at political events in uniform, but service members do not surrender their rights under the First Amendment, and appearing on a podcast to promote a book is not a prohibited activity." . . 

Female Israeli prison guards make demand of terrorist to be released who raped them

World Israel News  

"Terrorist Mahmoud Atallah, who is scheduled to be released in exchange for Israeli hostages sexually assaulted the Gilboa prison guards."


"Female guards at Gilboa Prison appealed to the Supreme Court that a prisoner who raped them be released abroad and not within Israel.

"Terrorist Mahmoud Atallah, who is scheduled to be released in exchange for Israeli hostages, was convicted of serious crimes, including the sexual assault of the Gilboa prison guards.

"In their appeal, the guards said that the decision to release Atallah within Israel did not take into account the fact that he was a danger to others as well as to the guards themselves.

"The female guards said that if Atallah is released to Shechem as planned, he may be a danger to them, since he has threatened them directly and told them he has their personal information.

"The guards urged the court to approve an arrangement that would preserve their safety and not endanger the hostage release deal by sending Atallah abroad.

" 'The defense echelon has once again failed to protect the safety of female prison guards—this time, however, it is also permitting their blood to be shed,” said the guards’ attorneys."

‘SNL’ skewers MSNBC’s Trump obsession in fiery takedown of host Rachel Maddow

 NY Post  

"Nwodim’s Reid at one point throws a question to Maddow, but the camera fixes on Hayes — who is being played by Andrew Dismukes. The audience awkwardly guffaws in realization as Dismukes stammers, “oh, I’m not Rachel, I’m Chris Hayes,” a riff on a longstanding internet meme that the hosts share a resemblance." . . .


"This weekend’s “Saturday Night Live” roasted MSNBC in a skit ridiculing the left-wing cable news network about everything from its hysteria-prone coverage of President-elect Trump to its anchors’ personalities and appearances.

"The segment featured Sarah Sherman as Rachel Maddow — complete with the host’s signature close-cropped hairstyle and thick-rimmed glasses — who introduced herself warning that dads watching at home “better hide their older, bookish-looking lesbian daughters.”

"Sherman then introduced the panel, who she described as “basically like ‘The Avengers’ for your aunt” and which included cast members mimicking network regulars including Ari Melber, Joy Reid, Stephanie Ruhle and Chris Hayes.

"The skit’s Joy Reid — portrayed by Ego Nwodim — said the network was turning over a new leaf when it comes to covering Trump.

" 'This time around, we’re not gonna get sucked in by every new shiny, crazy statement from Trump. We need to focus on what he does, not what he says.”

"At that moment, Sherman’s Maddow cuts in to announce some breaking news that Trump wants to “trade Connecticut for Italy.”

"The segment bounced between anchors — lampooning their peccadilloes, including Melber’s penchant for hip-hop and portraying Ruhle as flighty and flirtatious." . . .

From sweetheart deal to repudiation, special prosecutor cements Biden family corruption for history

 Just The News


"An epic political scandal derailed for years from the public attention it deserved by false Democrat and news media claims of “conspiracy theories” and “Russian misinformation” came to an abrupt and harsh conclusion Monday.

"And that repudiation was delivered by an unlikely source: the prosecutor who originally tried to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart deal that would have spared the first son prison time.

"Special Counsel David Weiss’ report was not a manifesto of new disclosures dug up by the FBI or a grand jury. It barely filled 27 pages and failed to answer several questions submitted by Congress, and thus it was blasted by lawmakers for being "incomplete."

"But in simple terms it affirmed for history some simple conclusions: 1.) Hunter Biden broke the law. 2.) The Biden family engaged in a political grift that sucked millions from foreign interests by trading on its powerful name. And 3.) the family patriarch, Joe Biden, misled the public by suggesting his family was a victim of politics that warranted a pardon that erased his son’s dual convictions in tax and gun cases.

" 'The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," Weiss wrote in one of several poignant repudiations of the sitting president.

"Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, a member of the House Judiciary Committee that investigated a large part of the Biden scandal, told Just the News on Monday evening that Weiss’ report left much to be still investigated by Congress, including the potential national security implications of Joe Biden’s decisions for countries where his son collected millions."

David Weiss confirms Hunter made millions on family name in final report, blasts Joe Biden 

 . . .""I constantly have to question the position that this administration has taken with regard to China," Hageman said. "All of these are countries that had contact with and were paying Hunter Biden massive amounts of money, and that's why this is an important issue for the American people, because we cannot allow family members of elected officials to be able to sell our country to the highest bidder of foreign countries."

Pam Bondi takes on Adam Schiff

 Apparently afraid of the public hearing her statements, Schiff attempts to drown out her answers.

“Senator, I will follow the law,” Bondi said regarding the materials.

“ 'Why do you have difficulty answering that question?” Schiff shot back.

“ 'I can’t believe you’re asking such a question,” Bondi replied.

"Apparently, the nominee’s spirited responses wore Schiff out, because he was later caught napping during the hearing when, ironically, Bondi was making a point about the danger of sleeper cells in the U.S.

once let Pam Bondi answer a question.
