Spaceshot76 @Spaceshot76

White House under Trump or prior, as you see it is well lit. However now, as of 2:05am on the live cam, again the White House is lights out. From a security standpoint that would not be the best idea IF you were protecting people inside.

Lights out, cameras out in DC

Earlier this pm, Mustang Medic was by the Washington Monument - which he observed was not being lit up, either. >>161772

The camera from the top of the Washington Monument is operational.

But the other five cameras on the mall are out of service.

What are the chances??

Whenever cameras are out of service, seems like things often happen that are not meant to be seen.

wtf is going on in DC??

So can someone in DC area explain what happened? #LightsOut #fireworks

The guy who videoed this says WH went dark for 2 hours, there were police cars looping around; lights come back on, then there are fireworks in the background? He thinks he just saw everyone in the WH getting arrested.

>everyone getting arrested

Guess we'll find out whether that's true soon enough. But if it's not, this is still pretty spooky.

For all those discussing lights out @ WH:

Mustang Medic did a 1 hour live stream on 1/24. In the vid (36:15) he talks to a USSS who explains lights go out on WH every night between 10-11 pm. If you listen to the rest of the video, MM seems to insinuate the lights are only off for an or so, but (listen closely to the USSS with volume up) USSS said the lights go off between 10-11 and don’t come back on until the follow night. This is completely normal according to USSS. Soooo...nothing to see here folks (if you believe the USSS). I don’t know anymore. It’s all too foggy at the moment.

Supreme Court calls emoluments lawsuits against Trump moot

The Supreme Court on Monday brought an end to lawsuits over whether Donald Trump illegally profited off his presidency.

The justices threw out Trump’s challenge to lower court rulings that had allowed lawsuits to go forward alleging that he violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause by accepting payments from foreign and domestic officials who stay at the Trump International Hotel and patronize other businesses owned by the former president and his family.

The high court also ordered the lower-court rulings thrown out as well and directed appeals courts in New York and Richmond, Va., to dismiss the suits as moot now that Trump is no longer in office.

Markets Are Breaking Left And Right As Stocks Tumble

A little doomer pron headline as it's not that bad.

_________

Whether it is due to the absolute insanity taking place among the most shorted names, or the broader market suddenly tumbling (perhaps as the PPT forgot to keep an eye on the S&P transfixed by the action in GME), Downdetector and Bloomberg report that a slew of trading platforms are reporting problems on Monday, and while some have been resolved while others are ongoing:

Robinhood is experiencing issues with crypto trading

Vanguard tweeted it understands some clients are experiencing issues accessing their accounts

TD Ameritrade says it is aware of an issue impacting a small number of clients on the thinkorswim platform, a company spokesperson said

Charles Schwab announced it worked to resolve an issue

There was a slowdown in Merrill logins earlier Monday, but the situation has been resolved, according to a Bank of America spokesperson

E*Trade users reported problems Monday, according to Downdetector

Meanwhile, aside from the ridiculous action in penny stocks and supershorts, the broader market has just tumbled.. the VIX is surging...and the 10Y has slumped to session lows.

Commodities ETFs rally as stocks melt down

Exchange-traded funds linked to the commodities sector outperformed Monday even as stocks swooned. The United States Commodity Index Fund USCI, 0.86% was up 1.1% in the late morning, while the iShares S&P GSCI Commodity Indexed Trust GSG, 0.63% gained 0.7%. The First Trust Global Tactical Commodity Strategy Fund FTGC, 0.55% was up 0.4%. One commodity loser: the United States Copper Index Fund CPER, -0.45% was down 0.1%, though it's gained nearly 15% in the past three months.

The infusion of capital comes after Melvin Capital, which started the year with about $12.5 billion, lost 15% in the first few weeks of January on short positions, including GameStop Corp., according to a person familiar with the firm. “Gabe Plotkin and team have delivered exceptional results over the history of Melvin,” Citadel’s Ken Griffin said in a statement. “We have great confidence in Gabe and his team.”

FBI Agents Arrest ‘Walkaway’ Founder Brandon Straka

FBI agents arrested ‘Walkaway’ founder Brandon Straka on Monday for his ‘actions’ at the US Capitol on January 6.

The ‘WalkAway’ campaign began on Facebook in the summer of 2018 after Straka, a handsome, gay hairdresser from New York posted a video explaining why he was walking away from the Democrat party.

The Walkaway movement attracted tens of thousands of people, making Straka a target of the Marxist left.

Straka, 44, was taken into custody on Monday by agents from the FBI Omaha Field Office and faces charges of impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds without lawful authority and/or engaging in disorderly conduct within proximity to a restricted building to impede official functions and engaging in disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress.

According to the complaint, the FBI received many tips about Brandon Straka’s involvement in the protest at the Capitol, including one from his own relative.

Court documents show that officials were tipped off about Straka posting a video near the Capitol entrance, shouting “go, go!” The video was later removed and officials said they could not find any video or posts on his Twitter page relating to his actions at the Capitol.

However, the FBI was sent multiple screenshots. These screenshots reportedly revealed that Straka made the following comments on Twitter on Jan. 6.:

“Patriots at the Capitol – HOLD. THE. LINE!!!!”

“I arrived at the Capitol a few hours ago as Patriots were storming from all sides. I was quite close to entering myself as police began tear-gassing us from the door. I inhaled tear gas & got it in my eyes. Patriots began exiting shortly after saying Congress had been cleared.”

“I’m completely confused. For 6-8 weeks everybody on the right has been saying ‘1776!’ & that if congress moves forward it will mean a revolution! So congress moves forward. Patriots storm the Capitol – now everybody is virtual signaling their embarrassment that this happened.”

“Also- be embarrassed & hide if you need to- but I was there. It was not Antifa at the Capitol. It was freedom loving Patriots who were DESPERATE to fight for the final hope of our Republic because literally nobody cares about them. Everyone else can denounce them. I will not.”

“Perhaps I missed the part where it was agreed this would be a revolution of ice cream cones & hair-braiding parties to take our government back from lying, cheating globally interested swamp parasites. My bad.”

This is a breaking story…please refresh for updates.

Apollo’s Leon Black to step down after probe into Jeffrey Epstein ties

Leon Black is stepping down as CEO of Apollo Global Management following an internal probe into his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the company said Monday. The monthslong probe, conducted by law firm Dechert, found no evidence that Black engaged in any of Epstein’s alleged criminal activities but determined that he paid Epstein $148 million in advisory fees and donated $10 million to Epstein’s charity — amounts greater than had been previously disclosed.

Black will remain Apollo’s chairman. Marc Rowan — who last year left the firm he founded with Black and Josh Harris to run his personal investments — will return as CEO, Apollo said.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution. He was rearrested in 2019 for sex trafficking following scrutiny of a 2007 nonprosecution agreement he signed with federal authorities in Florida that involved a wider probe into his dealings with underage girls. He died while in prison from an apparent suicide. “I am extraordinarily proud of what my partners and I have built at Apollo over the past 30 years,” Black said in a statement. “This is a decision I have been considering for several years.”

The Post reported exclusively in July 2019 that Black’s family charity had kept Epstein as a director for four years after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea. Black later admitted that he kept Epstein around to provide estate planning and tax advice. Black remains chairman of the Museum of Modern Art, which has so far stuck behind the major art buyer and donor.

Lin Wood fired by Nicholas Sandmann

A Kentucky teenager whose 2019 face-off with a Native American activist in Washington went viral has fired his lawyer, a man who played a key role in Donald Trump's attempts to overturn his election defeat, according to court notices filed on Monday.

The teen, Nicholas Sandmann, terminated lawyer L. Lin Wood from the team representing him in a series of lawsuits that accuse media companies like The New York Times Inc and CBS News Inc of inaccurately portraying the stand-off at the Lincoln Memorial on the day of a large anti-abortion protest.

"I have ended my lawyer-client relationship with Mr. Wood and no longer wish to be represented by him," Sandmann said in an affidavit included in the court filings.

Sandmann continues to be represented by Kentucky-based lawyer Todd McMurtry.

Wood did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement shared on the Telegram app on Sunday, Wood said he expected Sandmann would "abandon" him because of earlier social media posts in which Wood suggested former Vice President Mike Pence engaged in "treason" and could "face execution by firing squad" for formally recognizing the election victory of President Joe Biden.

Wood said in the Telegram post that his comments about Pence were "rhetorical hyperbole."

Sandmann, 18, expressed alarm at Wood's comments earlier this month. On Twitter, the teen shared one of Wood's social media posts about Pence and wrote: "I'm sorry but what the hell."

The move is the latest indication that those who supported former President Donald Trump's baseless claim that his loss to Biden was the result of mass fraud could face longer term professional consequences.

A Delaware state judge this month blocked Wood from representing former Trump adviser Carter Page in a defamation lawsuit, saying that his conduct in election-related lawsuits "exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication and surprising incompetence."

Sandmann's face-off with Native American activist Nathan Phillips in January 2019 was captured on video and shared on social media, generating widespread media coverage.

Sandmann's family has lawsuits pending against the New York Times, CBS, ABC News Inc, Rolling Stone LLC, and others. Reuters is not a defendant in the litigation.

The lawsuits alleged that because Sandmann wore a hat emblazoned with Trump's 'Make American Great Again' slogan, media outlets inaccurately suggested he was the face of an unruly mob.

In court filings, the media outlets have denied defaming Sandmann in their coverage.

Sandmann settled similar lawsuits against CNN and the Washington Post last year for undisclosed amounts.

Sandmann spoke at the Republican National Convention in August, endorsing Trump and accusing the media of advancing an "anti-Christian, anti-conservative, anti-Donald Trump narrative."

The teen's relationship with Wood appeared to sour as the attorney filed unsuccessful lawsuits seeking to overturn Biden's victory and baselessly accused Pence and Supreme Court Justice John Roberts of treason and corruption.

Separately on Monday, a U.S. voting machine company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani, accusing him of defamation in what it called his "big lie" campaign about widespread fraud in the presidential election.

== Giuliani: Dominion Suit Is Act Of Intimidation By ‘Hate-Filled’ Left - Filing A Counter Suit=

Rudy Giuliani criticized the $1.3 billion lawsuit filed against him by Dominion, calling it “another act of intimidation by the hate-filled left.”

On Monday, Dominion Voting Systems filed the suit in a federal D.C. court, accusing Giuliani of spreading false allegations of voter fraud. In a statement soon after, Giuliani said the cost of the the lawsuit is to “frighten people of faint heart.”

However, President Trump’s attorney took the suit in stride, saying it will allow him to investigate the company’s history, finances and practices fully.

“We get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent, and if we’re wrong, we will be made fools of,” Giuliani said. “But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail. So, let’s have a trial by combat.”

Giuliani said he will be filing a countersuit against Dominion for violating the Constitutional right to free speech and the ability of lawyers to defend their clients vigorously.

For months, Giuliani has accused Dominion of swinging votes in favor of Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

“We believe from what we saw in Michigan that the machines have an inaccurate vote, that they’re programmed to give Biden somewhere between a 2% and 5% advantage,” Giuliani stated.

Dominion has been targeting allies of President Trump with legal action following the election. However, the company said it is still weighing whether to sue President Trump himself.

U.S. bankruptcy judge okays Weinstein Co plan paying $17 million for sex abuse claims

A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge on Monday approved The Weinstein Co’s liquidation plan, which sets aside $17 million for women who accused co-founder Harvey Weinstein of sexual misconduct. Judge Mary Walrath in Wilmington, Delaware announced her ruling at the conclusion of a remote hearing. She overruled an objection from a handful of women who are looking to pursue appeals of their claims outside of bankruptcy court. She noted that 83% of sexual misconduct claimants in the bankruptcy “have expressed very loudly that they want closure through acceptance of this plan, that they do not seek to have to go through any further litigation in order to receive some recovery, some possible recompense ... although it’s clear that money will never give them that.”

The Weinstein Co sold its assets to Lantern Entertainment, which later became Spyglass Media Group, for $289 million after it filed for bankruptcy in 2018. The bankruptcy was precipitated by widespread claims of sexual misconduct against company founder Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a 23-year prison term after being convicted of sexually assaulting a former production assistant and raping an actress. Insurers have contributed $35 million under the plan, so holders of sexual misconduct claims will get almost half of that. The Weinstein Co’s lawyers say the women who filed the claims could each see six-figure recoveries. They will have the option to forgo most of their payout under the plan if they want to continue pursuing their claims against Harvey Weinstein and former officers and directors of the company.

A group of women with sexual abuse claims argued that the choice between a full payout and continuing to pursue their claims was unfair. But lawyers for the company and an unsecured creditors’ committee, which includes women who filed sexual misconduct claims, say those releases for former officers and directors are a key component of the plan. A lawyer for the company, Paul Zumbro of Cravath Swaine & Moore, said during the hearing that the plan is “remarkable” and a “favorable closure of this really ugly story.”

The case is In re The Weinstein Company Holdings LLC, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No. 18-10601.

Apollo C.E.O. to Step Down After Firm Finds More Payments to Jeffrey Epstein

An inquiry’s finding that Leon Black, the billionaire boss of Apollo Global Management, paid the convicted sex offender $158 million touched off an attempt to remove him.

Leon Black, above, Apollo Global Management’s chairman and chief executive, paid $158 million to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over the last decade of Mr. Epstein’s life.

1/2

Jan. 25, 2021

Updated 7:13 p.m. ET

The founders of Apollo Global Management, one of the world’s biggest private equity firms, engaged in a brief power struggle this weekend over control of the firm, a rift that opened up after an inquiry revealed that one founder — Apollo’s chief executive and chairman, Leon Black — had paid more than $150 million to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

On Monday, Mr. Black announced his plan to step down as chief executive this year. “I have advised the Apollo board that I will retire as C.E.O. on or before my 70th birthday in July and remain as chairman,” he said in a statement.

The review — ordered by the firm’s board at Mr. Black’s behest in October, after The New York Times detailed at least $75 million in payments — found that Mr. Black had paid Mr. Epstein $158 million in a five-year period ending in 2017. He had also lent Mr. Epstein more than $30 million, only $10 million of which was paid back, the report found.

Mr. Black’s payments effectively bankrolled the lifestyle of Mr. Epstein — whom Mr. Black viewed as a “confirmed bachelor with eclectic tastes,” according to the report — in the years after his 2008 guilty plea in Florida to a prostitution charge involving a teenage girl.

Also, Mr. Black believed that Mr. Epstein had “served his time” for that case and deserved a second chance, the report said. It found there was no evidence that Mr. Black had participated in any of Mr. Epstein’s criminal activities, or that Mr. Epstein had ever introduced Mr. Black to any underage girl.

The details of their financial dealings — Mr. Epstein’s advice was worth perhaps $2 billion in tax savings to Mr. Black, according to the report — created friction between Mr. Black and one of Apollo’s other founders, Joshua Harris, according to three people briefed on the discussions. In recent months, Apollo investors had begun openly questioning the financial ties between Mr. Black and Mr. Epstein, who died in 2019. One of the people said Mr. Harris believed that Mr. Black showed poor judgment in consorting with Mr. Epstein, and that the new findings would further hurt Apollo’s reputation.

Apollo’s board held a videoconference on Sunday to approve the findings of the review, according to two people briefed on the discussions. At the meeting, Mr. Black also announced his plans to step down this year and hand over the chief executive job to Marc Rowan, Apollo’s third founder. Mr. Black intends to remain chairman of the New York firm, which manages $455 billion for institutional investors, including pension plans and sovereign wealth funds.

During a series of meetings on Sunday evening, including with individual board members, Mr. Harris raised objections to Mr. Black’s timeline for stepping down, believing that the reputational threat was so serious that Mr. Black should relinquish the chief executive role without delay, the people said. Mr. Harris also made his case to his co-founders that night in discussions with Apollo’s executive committee — which consists of the three of them.

In the end, Mr. Harris’s objection fell on deaf ears, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Mr. Rowan, who built Apollo’s insurance business but had largely stepped away from the firm’s day-to-day operations in recent years, will take over when Mr. Black steps down.

Mr. Black informed Apollo’s clients of the succession plan and the findings of the review in a letter on Monday evening.

Mr. Harris will continue in his current role as a senior managing director, focused on the firm’s financial performance and working closely with Mr. Rowan, according to the letter, the contents of which were reviewed by The Times. The letter also informed clients of other proposed governance changes, including adding four more independent directors. It also laid out Mr. Black’s plan to donate $200 million to charities that support gender equality and fight sex trafficking.

Feds say Sextortionist Muhammad Zain Ul Abideen Rasheed impersonated YouTuber, sexually blackmailed 245 child victims in U.S.

WASHINGTON — An investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) resulted in the arrest of a 25-year-old Australian citizen who is now facing a total of 247 charges related to 245 alleged child victims in the United States.

In 2019, HSI special agents in Tallahassee, Florida, received information from the Leon County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) regarding the exploitation of minors throughout the U.S. by an individual in Australia. The individual was masquerading as a popular YouTube star in order to befriend minor females and gain their trust. He then blackmailed the minor victims and instructed them to film themselves doing various sexually explicit acts, many of which involved physical contact with other minors and/or animals.

HSI reached out to the AFP to help identify the predator in Australia. With the assistance of Western Australia Police (WAPOL), AFP quickly identified the subject in Western Australia and initiated Operation ESK. HSI Canberra provided support to Operation ESK by obtaining subscriber details from YouTube for the offender, and both the previous and potential victims. Forensic examination of the subject’s social media account led to the identification in October 2020 of 112 U.S. victims of online child exploitation and upon continued investigation an additional 134 by January 2021. The suspect, Muhammad Zain Ul Abideen Rasheed, 25, was arrested by AFP and is currently in custody.

“Child exploitation is a heinous crime that is happening far too often on social media sites used by our children,” said HSI Regional Attaché for Oceania, Adam Parks. “These investigations will continue to be our top priority to ensure that children around the world are protected from sexual predators. Thanks to our close partnership with the Australian Federal Police and Western Australia Police, we were able to identify this predator and protect future children from falling victim to this monster.”

Operation ESK is a joint investigation between HSI Canberra, AFP, and WAPOL, with assistance from HSI Tallahassee, LCSO, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).

Arrests at Australia Day protests urging Indigenous recognition

Demonstrators in major cities demand the national day be changed in honour of the country’s Indigenous people.

26 Jan 2021

Police made arrests in Australia on Tuesday as thousands of people defied public health concerns and protested against the mistreatment of Indigenous people on the day marking the 1788 arrival of the British First Fleet.

For many Indigenous Australians, who trace their lineage on the continent back tens of thousands of years, the Australia Day holiday is known as Invasion Day symbolising the destruction of their cultures by European settlers.

Police have warned protesters could face fines and imprisonment for breaching public health orders designed to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Images published by news organisations as well as on social media showed police dragging several protesters away from the march in Sydney.

‘One Voice’

In Melbourne, rally organisers said protesters would be sorted into groups of 100 people with 10 metres (30 feet) between each to comply with social-distancing rules.

Images posted on social media, however, showed a larger group of masked protesters gathered at one of the major intersections of the city. They held up their fists in the air and chanted: “One Voice”.

Thousands of people, many unmasked, also showed up in Hobart, the capital city of the southern island of Tasmania.

While thousands of people flocked to beaches and picnic spots around the country to celebrate the national day, many official events were cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions.

Australia has fared better than most other developed economies in the pandemic, with just under 28,800 cases and 909 deaths, mostly in Victoria state. Victoria recorded its 20th straight day on Tuesday with no local transmission.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australia Day represents how far the country has come since the First Fleet arrived.

“There is no escaping or cancelling this fact,” Morrison said at a ceremony in Canberra. “For better and worse, it was the moment where the journey to our modern nation began.”

Anthony Albanese, leader of Australia’s Labor Party, said that the country has to acknowledge that its history “doesn’t date back to 1788. It dates back more than 65,000 years.

“Australia Day means different things to different people. For me, it’s a chance to acknowledge the past, recognise the present, and hope for the future.”

Grace Tame, who was declared as Australian of the Year on Monday, also weighed in expressing her support for a change of date of national day.

“It costs us nothing as a nation to actually change that date. And it would mean a lot to that community and to our national community. I think that’s important,” she said in an interview with The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald newspapers.

Australia Day: Arrests as police clash with Invasion Day protesters

A speaker at a massive Invasion Day protest in Sydney says there is only one real way to make sure white Australians pay for what they’ve done.

Peaceful protests calling for a change to the January 26 Australia Day holiday turned ugly as police clashed with protesters and, on one occasion, a protester was forcefully removed by bikies.

Thousands gathered for Invasion Day protests in Australia’s capital cities and in regional centres.

After hours of speeches at the Domain in the Sydney CBD, where police told protesters they could gather but not march, a number of protesters were arrested.

In Canberra, a man wearing a Make America Great Again cap and waving an Australian flag was forcibly removed from an Invasion Day rally by three men in bikie colours.

As he drove away, the assembled crowd cheered.

In Melbourne, thousands marched from Parliament House down Bourke Street after a peaceful protest in which police refused to remove their hats, a stance in line with police procedure.

The clash between police and protesters at the Domain in Sydney followed a warning from police.

“If you do the right thing, I’ll do the right thing,” an officer told an organiser as 3000 people gathered.

NSW Police said five people were arrested including an 18-year-old man who was not part of the gathering.

One man was charged with assaulting police and one woman was charged with hindering police in the execution of duty.

Two other men were each fined $1000 and released.

Among protesters in Sydney was Paul Silva, the nephew of David Dungay Jr, a Dunghutti man from Kempsey, who died in prison custody in 2015.

“I’m here to demand the abolishment of Australia Day,” he told news.com.au.

Earlier, in the Sydney suburb of Newtown, a fresh mural painted by acclaimed street artist Scott Marsh emerged at first light.

It shows Scott Morrison dressed as Captain James Cook next to two words, “Captain Cooked”, and the hashtag #ChangeTheDate.

Donald Trump announces new 'Office of the Former President'

He has only been out of the White House for a few short days - but Donald Trump has already shown he won't be quietly retiring from public life.

Former President Donald Trump has given his first public update since leaving the Oval Office, announcing the establishment of his new "Office of the Former President".

The office will be managed by ex-White House aides from Palm Beach, Florida.

The news was confirmed via an email statement, the first from Mr Trump since Joe Biden took over the top job.

The statement revealed the new office “will be responsible for managing President Trump’s correspondence, public statements, appearances, and official activities” – a clear sign the 74-year-old isn’t planning on quietly retiring from public life.

Trump unlikely to be convicted

Charis Chang

An article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump has been formally presented to the US Senate but it's looking unlikely the trial will succeed.

At least 17 Republicans would need to vote in favour of finding Mr Trump guilty in order for him to be convicted.

According to a survey done by The New York Times, so far none were indicating they would support the impeachment.

There were 27 senators who were opposed, 16 undecided and seven had no response.

However, this could change as evidence is presented during the trial, which is due to start on February 8.

India permanently bans TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps

India's ministry of electronics and information technology has issued fresh notices to make permanent a ban imposed on video app TikTok and 58 other Chinese apps in June, Indian media reported late on Monday.

When it first imposed the ban, the Indian government gave the 59 apps a chance to explain their position on compliance with privacy and security requirements, the Times of India reported on Monday. The companies, which include ByteDance's popular video-sharing app TikTok, Tencent Holdings' WeChat and Alibaba's UC Browser, were also asked to respond to a list of questions, the newspaper said. "The government is not satisfied with the response/explanation given by these companies. Hence, the ban for these 59 apps is permanent now," business newspaper Livemint quoted a source familiar with the notices as saying. It said the notices were issued last week.

The ministry's June order stated that the apps were "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order." The order, which India referred to as a "digital strike", followed a skirmish with Chinese troops at a disputed Himalayan border site when 20 Indian soldiers were killed. In September, India banned another 118 mobile apps, including Tencent's popular video game PUBG, as it stepped up the pressure on Chinese technology companies following the standoff at the border. A TikTok representative told the Economic Times newspaper that the company was evaluating the notice and will respond to it as appropriate.

The ministry of electronics and information technology could not be reached for comment outside regular working hours. TikTok did not respond to a request for comment.

Donald Trump Announces ‘Office of the Former President’, Pledges to ‘Carry on the Agenda of the Trump Administration’

Today President Donald J. Trump announced the Office of the Former President, staffed by President Trump’s former White House advisors. According to a statement from the Office of the Former President, Trump will continue to push for his America First agenda using the Office.

“Today, the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, formally opened the Office of the Former President,” the statement began.

“The Office will be responsible for managing President Trump’s correspondence, public statements, appearances, and official activities to advance the interests of the United States and to carry on the agenda of the Trump Administration through advocacy, organizing, and public activism.”

CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins noted that the Office will be “run by former White House aides” and will operate from “Palm Beach, Florida.”

There has been much speculation about if, when, and how President Trump would return to the political stage.

Some questions seemed to be answered when he broke his uncharacteristic post-presidency silence to endorse Kelli Ward’s reelection bid to gain a second term as the Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman.

Following President Trump’s endorsement, Ward’s reelection was a success. She won 51.5% of the vote, with another Trump ally earning 48.5%.

IT IS SUCH AN HONOR TO HAVE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S TOTAL & COMPLETE ENDORSEMENT AS I RUN FOR RE-ELECTION AS @AZGOP CHAIRWOMAN! 🇺🇸#HUMBLED #BLESSED #AMERICAFIRST PIC.TWITTER.COM/Y8U2ZCEPJL

— DR. KELLI WARD 🇺🇸 (@KELLIWARDAZ) JANUARY 23, 2021

This move appears to have been foreshadowed by former Trump adviser Jason Miller, who indicated that President Trump would use his time out of office to advocate for election integrity across the country, and would use his dynamic influence to campaign for candidates willing to enact his agenda.

It is also worth noting that there is a similarity in naming conventions between the Office of the Former President, which President Trump established today, and the fictional Office of the President-Elect that Joe Biden claimed to represent during two month period that President Trump contested the 2020 election. Biden’s fictional office was widely mocked by conservatives.

It remains unclear if President Trump is planning a return to presidential politics in 2024.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler pepper-sprays man who confronted him over not wearing a mask

According to a police report, Portland Democrat Mayor Ted Wheeler pepper-sprayed a person who accosted him while he was leaving a restaurant on Sunday night. This is the second time this month that Wheeler has been accosted while dining out.

Wheeler was leaving the McMenamins Hillsdale Brewery & Public House in Portland with around 8 pm Sunday night with former Mayor, and new administration hire, Sam Adams “when a person confronted him and accused him of sitting in a restaurant without wearing a mask,” according to the report.

In Multnomah County, outdoor dining is allowed and Wheeler and Adams had been eating in an outdoor tent at the restaurant and that he tried to explain to the man that people in Oregon were allowed to removed their masks for dining.

The mayor described the alleged assailant in the report as a middle-aged, white male. He allegedly followed Wheeler to his car and videoed the encounter.

According to the report, Wheeler said he told the man he was carrying pepper spray and to “back off,” but the man refused.

Wheeler claimed in the report that “He had no face mask on and got within a foot or two of my face while he was videoing me. I became imminently concerned for my personal safety, as I had recently been physically accosted in a similar situation. In addition, I was concerned about contracting COVID given that he was right in my face and he was not wearing a face mask.” Wheeler also said he did not recognize the individual.

As Wheeler began to climb into his car, he pepper-sprayed the man in the eyes....

Google Workers Announce International Union Alliance

Google workers across the world are reportedly forming a global union alliance called “Alpha Global” with the goal of holding Google and parent company Alphabet accountable.

The Verge reports that Google workers worldwide are coming together to form a global union alliance called Alpha Global. The group is comprised of 13 different unions representing workers in 10 different countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

The announcement comes shortly after Google employees in the U.S. and Canada announced the Alphabet Workers Union. The union is associated with the Communications Workers of America and has grown from 230 members to more than 700 within a week.

Alpha Global is affiliated with the UNI Global Union which is a labor union federation representing 20 million workers worldwide, including Amazon workers. Parul Koul, executive chair of the Alphabet Workers Union and a Google software engineer, said in a statement:

We know that organizing for justice at a global company like Alphabet does not stop at national boundaries.

That is why it is so important to unite with workers in other countries. In a world where inequality is tearing apart, our societies and corporations are hoarding more influence than ever, reclaiming our power through our unions has never been more important.

UNI general secretary Christy Hoffman commented:

The problems at Alphabet — and created by Alphabet — are not limited to any one country, and must be addressed on a global level.

The movement launched by tech workers at Google and beyond is inspiring. They are using their collective muscle to not only transform their conditions of employment but also to address social issues caused by increasing concentration of corporate power.

Fionnuala Ní Bhrógáin, an organizer with the Communications Workers’ Union in Ireland, said in a statement:

The power of these global tech companies is such that they’re in every part of our lives. If they’re acting in this way nearly entirely unchecked by governments then there is no hold on what they can do. That power needs to be checked, and it’s only through collective action that workers are able to do that.

Alpha Global is another sign that tech worker unionization efforts are accelerating globally. With Google and Amazon facing worker unionization, many other high tech companies may face the same problem.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has approved a plan that would keep some 5,000 National Guard troops in Washingtonfor several monthsat the request of federal law enforcement agencies concerned about the potential for violence in the national capital.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has approved a plan to retain 7,000 National Guard soldiers and airmen in Washington through March 12 and then 5,000indefinitely beyond that date, Army and National Guard officials said Monday. The troops continuing presence in the city, where a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was requested by the U.S. Park Police, the Secret Service, the Capitol Police, and metro police, acting Army Secretary John Whitley said.

National Guard forces in D.C. drew down from nearly 26,000 for President Joe Biden’s inauguration Jan. 20 to about 13,000 over the weekend, said Army Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau. They are expected to draw down to the about 7,000 troops by the end of the week.

Most of the remaining troops — many of them armed — will provide security at the Capitol as the FBI has warned officials of several forthcoming demonstrations that they are concerned could turn violent.

Army Maj. Gen. William Walker, the D.C. National Guard commander,declined to provide specifics about the potential threat, but he said law enforcement officials were keeping the Guard abreast of any threats to troops in the area.

China Repo Rates Soar To 15 Month High After PBOC Warns Of Asset Bubbles, Drains Liquidity

China’s money market rates surged after the People’s Bank of China drained cash from the financial system, just as a central bank adviser warned about bubbles in markets.

The overnight repurchase rate soared 28 basis points to 2.77%, the highest since October 2019, and just a month after it hit a record low. At the same time, the cost on 7-day repurchase agreements jumped 36 basis points to 2.79%. Earlier in the day the PBOC withdrew a net 78 billion yuan via open-market operations, the most in two weeks. It wasn't just the PBOC's liquidity drain however: the rate spike was also catalyzed by a stark warning from PBOC adviser Ma Jun, who spoke at a wealth management forum where according to the 21st Century Business Herald said bubbles have formed in the stock and property markets, and he proposed a shift in monetary policy.

"Whether this situation will intensify in the future depends on whether monetary policy is appropriately changed this year,” he said. He added that if not, such problems would “certainly continue” and lead to “greater economic and financial risks in the medium- and long-term." He also said that there will be less demand for monetary expansion as corporate profits will improve, reducing their reliance on debt financing. To be sure, Chinese regulators have already moved to constrain rising property prices. They limited the amount banks can lend to the sector at the end of last year and are targeting leverage among the country’s vast developers. Individual cities have also introduced measures to curb prices.

In late 2020, PBoC restrictions on short-term liquidity led to a surge in interbank borrowing costs. The three-month Shanghai interbank benchmark more than doubled between May and November to more than 3 per cent — its highest level in two years — before it gradually declined. Then China’s markets soared at the end of last year from a barrage of liquidity injections by the central bank, helping stocks and the yuan end 2020 on a high note. The benchmark CSI 300 Index has since risen to the highest level since 2008.

“The PBOC is unlikely to loosen its purse strings at least this week, which will make cross-month liquidity very tight,” said Xing Zhaopeng, an economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group. In this context it is hardly a surprise then that after the warning and liquidity drain, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index — which has been boosted this month by record-breaking daily volumes of buying by mainland investors — fell by more than 2.4%. Mainland China’s CSI 300 index of Shanghai- and Shenzhen-listed stocks dropped 2%.

The mood is still totally remaining intact in terms of its positivity,” said Andy Maynard, managing director at China Renaissance Securities. “Although we have a blip today . . . yesterday was kind of euphoric, last week was kind of euphoric.” But, he added, rising borrowing costs were unlikely to undermine positive momentum in China and other emerging markets. “Where else in the world do you go? Where do you put that money?” he said. “For the global asset allocators who stay in equity, I don’t think you necessarily rush back to the dollar and you definitely are not touching Europe”.

And while the Chinese warning dented some overnight enthusiasm, S&P futures have since reversed and are trading near all time highs.

'Lawyer up, and get out': FBI first spurned Hunter Biden laptop, says Delaware tech repairman

John Paul Mac Isaac, the Delaware computer shop owner who unwittingly came into possession of Hunter Biden's laptop, says an FBI agent initially gave a stern warning to his family when first offered a copy of the explosive evidence about Joe Biden's son: "You better lawyer up and get out of my office."

In a wide-ranging interview Monday with Just the News, Isaac described what concerned him most about the contents on the laptop, his extensive efforts to get authorities in law enforcement and Congress to pay attention to it and his anger at the news media, Democrats and even security officials who initially accused him of carrying out a Russian disinformation campaign or trying to make money off the discovery.

U.S. intelligence has determined the laptop contents — now in the hands of the FBI and Congress and part of a criminal tax case — were not Russian disinformation. Isaac said he never took a dime for providing the materials to the FBI, Congress and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, not even when offered reimbursement for the hard drive equipment he used to make copies.

"Well, for somebody who's not very political, I assume what happened to me was the quintessential political hit job, to have that many people come out, without even talking to me, or having a conversation without doing a single background check," he told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

"I still feel a little bit upset about that," he added. "I have people that I've known for a long time, they're convinced that I'm a tool, or I've been a pawn or I got huge payout. And it's completely decimated my business. I had to leave town."

Isaac said the efforts "tagging me to Russia" were insulting, given that his father and grandfathers served in the military dating to World War II. He said he believed the attacks were just an outgrowth of the false Russia collusion story used to vilify President Trump at the start of his presidency.

"I get why they [critics] did it," he said. "It's topical. Everybody's scared of Russia, Russia, Russia. And why not, you know, if it worked four or six years ago, try it again."

Isaac said one of his biggest disappointments was the FBI's behavior when his family offered the contents of the hard drive to agents.

Isaac said a man identifying himself as Hunter Biden dropped off the laptop and other water-damaged computer equipment in early spring 2019 and failed to pick it up, even after signing a document declaring it would become his shop's property in 90 days.

UBS Profit Bonanza Eases Pressure over New Boss

UBS is in less need of strong management than most of its European peers—which is fortunate given the awkward position of its new boss.

On Tuesday, the Switzerland-based bank announced excellent full-year results, with profits up across the group. Chief executive Ralph Hamers, who took the reins in November, also gave hints of a new strategy he hopes to announce next quarter.

His plans were unfortunately overshadowed by December’s surprise decision by the Netherlands to open a new inquiry into Mr. Hamers’ role in a money-laundering scandal at his former employer, ING. The matter was previously thought to have been settled before his hiring. The investigations, which typically take about 18 months, are an unwelcome source of uncertainty for UBS’s investors.

The bank’s strategy involves integrating wealth management, investment banking and asset management to serve high-net-worth individuals globally, with a special focus on growth in Asia. Any leader is likely to build on that successful formula rather than reinvent it. Mr. Hamers highlighted three focus areas: improving technology investment, re-evaluating subscale markets and forging a more unified, agile corporate culture.

The technology focus isn’t a surprise. Mr. Hamers was hired for his expertise in digital transformation, and all banks are investing in technology to cut costs and improve products. He won’t spend more money, but rather shift to shorter-term projects and quarterly, instead of annual funding decisions.

Nancy And Paul Pelosi Bought More Than $1 Million In Tesla, Disney And Apple Calls In December

When one looks at a situation like Monday's insanity-fueled, retail induced short squeeze across the board, one must ask: who are the government officials that have allowed this to happen and what have they been doing during the time they should be regulating such multiple-sigma market absurdities?

Allow us to offer a partial answer. If you were Nancy Pelosi and her husband, you were buying call options in names like Apple, Tesla and Disney. That's what a new disclosure, detailed in Barron's, revealed late last week.

Paul Pelosi purchased LEAPS in Tesla, Apple and Disney and shares in AllianceBernstein on December 22, the disclosure revealed. In other words, it's not just clueless retail Robinhood investors that are speculating; it's also clueless politicians. He purchased 100 $100 strike Apple calls that expire in January 2022 and paid between $250,000 and $500,000 for them. He also bought 25 in the money Tesla calls, selecting the $500 strike calls with a March 2022 expiration, according to the report. Those cost between $500,000 and $1 million. Finally, he bought between $500,000 and $1 million in Disney options, buying 100 calls at a $100 strike that expire in January 2022.

He also "paid $500,001 to $1 million for 20,000 shares of global investment firm AllianceBernstein," putting his average price around $33.37.

Obviously, the call option purchases are worth noting - not only because they are leveraged investments and are far more risky than buying outright stock - but because the Speaker now clearly has a vested interest in the success of names like Tesla, whose trajectories as public companies can be altered drastically by government decisions.

Paul Pelosi and Speaker Pelosi’s office didn’t respond to requests for comment, Barron's said. Can't say we're surprised.

China to conduct drills in South China Sea amid US tensions

China said on Tuesday it will conduct military exercises in the South China Sea this week, just days after Beijing bristled at a U.S. aircraft carrier group's entry into the disputed waters.

A notice issued by the country's Maritime Safety Administration prohibited entry into a portion of waters in the Gulf of Tonkin to the west of the Leizhou peninsula in southwestern China from Jan. 27 to Jan. 30, but it did not offer details on when the drills would take place or at what scale.

of course-dooo eeet there kek

A U.S. carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt entered the South China Sea on Saturday to promote "freedom of the seas," the U.S. military said, days after Joe Biden began his term as president. The contested waters have become another flashpoint in the increasingly testy bilateral relationship between Beijing and Washington. The U.S. military has steadily increased its activities there in recent years as China asserts its territorial claims in the area in conflict with neighbouring countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Taiwan. The announcement of the drills in the Gulf of Tonkin, just east of Vietnam, came as the Southeast Asian country opened a key Communist Party congress in Hanoi. China on Monday complained that the United States frequently sends aircraft and vessels into the South China Sea, through which trillion dollars in trade flow every year, to "flex its muscles" and said such actions are not conducive to peace and stability in the region.

Boeing And Lockheed Martin Reveal What Could Be The Army's UH-60 Black Hawk Replacement

Boeing and Lockheed Martin have unveiled their proposed helicopter, dubbed Defiant X, for the U.S. Army's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, or FLRAA, program, which is part of the larger Future Vertical Lift effort. This particular project's primary goal is to acquire a replacement for the service's venerable UH-60 Black Hawks, including highly modified special operations variants, but could eventually replace other aircraft types across the U.S. military, as well.

The companies simultaneously revealed the Defiant X in press releases on Jan. 25, 2021. The design is an advanced compound helicopter derived from the SB>1 Defiant, which Sikorsky, now part of Lockheed Martin, and Boeing developed for the Army's Joint Multi-Role (JMR) technology demonstration program. Bell has also been a participant in the JMR effort with its V-280 Valor tilt-rotor. JMR has long been framed as a lead-in to FLRAA and, in December 2020, the Army released a draft request for proposals for the latter program, announcing in the process that it only planned to consider entries from the Boeing-Lockheed Martin team and Bell. Defiant X has the same general underlying configuration as the SB>1 Defiant compound helicopter, a design that first flew in 2019, with two rigid coaxial rotors and a pusher propeller in the tail. Compound helicopters typically offer higher top speeds and improved maneuverability over traditional helicopters. The SB>1 has so far demonstrated an ability to reach a top speed of 211 knots in level flight and hit 232 knots while in a shallow dive.

Opposition to convicting Trump in impeachment trial increasing among Senate Republicans

1-25-21

Opposition to convicting former President Trump in an impeachment trial is growing among Senate Republicans as the trial date approaches.

The Democratic-led House is expected to formally deliver the article of impeachment for "incitement of insurrection" to the U.S. Senate on Monday evening.

Democrats now control the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said a trial is set to begin the week of Feb. 8 and all senators will have a chance to take a position on the article. Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Senate president pro tempore, announced on Monday that he will be presiding over the trial.

"I think a lot of Americans are going to think it's strange that the Senate is spending its time trying to convict and remove from office a man who left office a week ago," said Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton on Sunday.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio shared a similar opinion, arguing that holding a trial in the Senate is not worth the Senate's time. Rubio said he would vote to end the trial "the first chance" he gets.

"I think the trial is stupid. I think it’s counterproductive," Rubio told Fox News. "We already have a flaming fire in this country and it's like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire."

Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso and Texas Sen. John Cornyn have also criticized the decision to move forward with a trial.

As the Senate works to confirm President Joe Biden's cabinet nominees, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, has said the impeachment of a former president is "unconstitutional" and it would "set a very dangerous precedent."

Over 68 earthquakes recorded near Rotorua, New Zealand

More than 68 shakes have been recorded near Rotorua, New Zealand, since 18:47 UTC on January 24, 2021 (07:47 LT on January 25), with magnitudes up to 4.9 and depth of 5 km (3 miles), according to GeoNet.

More than 5 200 people reported feeling the tremors on the GeoNet website, with a resident describing one shake as the biggest. "[It was] the biggest I have felt in years. I am still shaking." Another resident also said, "The biggest one went so long I didn't think it would end,"

The first quake had a magnitude of 4.5 located 20 km (12 miles) east of Rotorua at a depth of 4 km (2.5 miles).

It was then followed by an M4.9 aftershock in the same area, at a depth of 5 km (3 miles), as well as several more tremblors.

Bay of Plenty Civil Defence stated in a post on social media that a lot of people reported swaying, but "at this stage, we are not aware of any damage."

"Some things are still being checked as a precaution, especially because they were such shallow quakes."

U.S. judge blocks Biden deportation freeze in swift setback for Democratic president

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday temporarily blocked a move by new U.S. President Joe Biden to halt the deportation of certain immigrants for a 100-day period, a swift legal setback for his ambitious immigration agenda.

U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, an appointee of former President Donald Trump in the Southern District of Texas, issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the policy nationwide for 14 days following a legal challenge by Texas.

The Biden administration is expected to appeal the ruling, which halts the policy while both parties submit briefs on the matter.

Biden promised on the campaign trail to enact a 100-day moratorium on deportations if elected, a proposal that contrasted sharply with the immigration crackdown promoted by Trump, a Republican.

After Biden took office on Wednesday, the top official at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a memo that ordered a pause on certain deportations to enable the department to better deal with “operational challenges” at the U.S.-Mexico border during the pandemic.

In a complaint filed on Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the state would face irreparable harm if the deportation freeze was allowed to go into effect. Paxton, a Republican, said it would increase education and healthcare costs as more immigrants remained in Texas illegally.

Paxton also said it went against the terms of an enforcement agreement Texas brokered with the Trump administration less than two weeks before Biden took office.

During Trump’s presidency, Democrat-led states and other opponents of his immigration policies were able to thwart or delay many initiatives through legal challenges. Texas is expected to contest Biden’s agenda in a similar fashion.

Breaking - YouTube strips rising media company Epoch Times of ability to monetize video content

YouTube, the video platform service that is a Google subsidiary, has banned The Epoch Times, a rising, conservative-leaning media outlet, from earning money off its videos.

"YouTube demonetized the Epoch Times and related accounts last week," Stephen Gregory, publisher of The Epoch Times confirmed to Just the News on Tuesday in an email. "This is the latest example of big tech suppression of free speech, a step on the road to communist-style censorship."

A YouTube spokesperson acknowledged Tuesday in an email to Just the News that the company had demonetized the publication's channel and affiliated channels and had suspended them from the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) – over issues related to harmful or sensitive content.

"All channels on YouTube need to comply with our Community Guidelines, and in order to monetize, channels must comply with the YouTube Partner Program policies, which include our Advertiser-Friendly Guidelines," the spokesperson also said. "Channels that repeatedly violate these policies are suspended from our partner program."

The spokesperson noted that channels removed from its partner program are able to appeal the decision or reapply to YPP in 30 days, provided the underlying issues that led to suspension have been addressed to YouTube's liking.

The move by YouTube follows Twitter earlier this month de-platforming former President Trump and some conservative users, and the app Parler being denied web hosting services by Amazon.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Jan. 13 issued civil investigative demands to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Web Services, and Apple, asking the companies for their policies and practices regarding content moderation and, more specifically, for information related to Parler, a social media application popular among conservatives that was recently terminated or blocked by Google, Amazon, and Apple.

On Thursday, a federal judge denied Parler's request to have Amazon immediately restore its web service, saying she rejects "any suggestion that the public interest favors requiring AWS to host the incendiary speech."

Larry Elder, a prominent, African-American conservative filmmaker who hosts a video series for The Epoch Times, confirmed during an interview with the "Just the News AM" television program that the de-monetization hit him personally, reducing his income.

"We have to build our own infrastructure, our own social media platforms," Elder said, pointing to alternative social platforms like Gab.com and video service Rumble.com. "The only answer is not to bitch, moan and whine about how how unfairly we're being treated, not to run to the government to pass more regulations. The answer is to build our own platforms. And we have been asleep at the switch."

Bank Buybacks Surge To Highest Level Since March

Remember when the Fed and the administration were both raging against corporate buybacks, which especially in the case of airline and various service stocks, were the primary reason why so many companies found themselves without a cash buffer as the covid pandemic struck.

Well, it anyone hoped that companies would have learned their lesson - or any lesson - from the pandemic and instead of distributing capital to shareholders would save it for a rainy day, get ready to be disappointed. Because not only are buybacks back, they are back thanks to the Fed's approval of banks to generously return billions back to shareholders.

As Bank of America's Jill Carey Hall writes today, buybacks by BofA's corporate clients over the past three weeks have picked up to their highest levels since March. With Banks allowed to buy back stock again in 1Q, Financials buybacks increased back to March levels. The number is modest as financials comprised just 7% of buybacks from 2Q-4Q last year after making up 40% of buybacks in 2019; we expect these numbers to ramp up aggressively in the coming months as financial engineering returns to normal and as companies across all sectors quietly resume issuing debt and using the proceeds to prop up their stock price.

IMF lifts global growth forecast for 2021, still sees 'exceptional uncertainty'

The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday raised its forecast for global economic growth in 2021 and said the coronavirus-triggered downturn last year - the biggest peacetime contraction since the Great Depression - would be nearly a full percentage point less severe than expected. The global lender said multiple vaccine approvals and the start of vaccinations in some countries had boosted hopes of an eventual end to the pandemic that has now infected nearly 100 million people and claimed the lives of more than 2.1 million globally.

But it warned that the world economy continued to face “exceptional uncertainty” and new waves of COVID-19 infections and variants posed risks, and global activity would remain well below pre-COVID-19 projections made one year ago.

IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath said U.S. President Joe Biden’s pledge to fund the World Health Organization’s COVAX vaccine initiative marked “a very big step” to containing the pandemic and ensuring more equitable distribution of vaccines.

“Much more will be needed, because as we can see, given the mutating virus, that this is not a problem that’s going away anytime soon,” Gopinath told a news conference.

“There is still a tremendous amount of uncertainty,” she told Reuters in a separate interview. “We know that the health crisis is not over until it’s over everywhere.”

Gopinath said the global economy could gain $9 trillion between 2020 and 2025 if faster progress could be made in ending the health crisis, and it was clearly in the interest of advanced economies to help poorer countries recover.

“There’s a complete economic sense to do this, and do it right now,” she told Reuters.

The IMF estimates that close to 90 million people are likely to fall below the extreme poverty threshold during 2020-2021, with the pandemic wiping some out $22 trillion in projected output through 2025 and reversing progress made in reducing poverty over the past two decades.

Biden Administration Claims of Failed Trump Vaccine Rollout ‘Absolutely Preposterous’ Says HHS

Health officials are fighting back against the outrageous accusations

The idea that the Biden administration inherited no plan for administering COVID-19 vaccines is “absolutely preposterous” former Health and Human Services chief of staff Brian Harrison told National Review. President Biden himself, along with several of his administration’s advisers and officials have been on a rampant media tour falsely telling the American people they had been left powerless, uninformed and unprepared to administer the coronavirus vaccine from the Trump administration.

Health officials are fighting back against the outrageous accusations. Biden press secretary Jen Psaki said on Monday, “The confusion around this issue – which, we acknowledge, there is some confusion – speaks to a larger problem, which is what we’re inheriting from the prior administration.” Psaki went on to say it “is much worse than we could have imagined.”

Or is it? National Review reports, “per vaccination data from Bloomberg, the U.S. has now hit 1 million vaccinations for four days in a row, with a rolling seven-day average of 1.2 million. And on Monday, Biden himself said he hoped to raise the threshold to 1.5 million soon.” Anyone with a first-grade education can understand those numbers couldn’t be derived out of thin air. “The new administration’s ability to hit its daily target immediately after the benchmark was set is evidence that they inherited a workable plan from the Trump administration, according to current and former officials.”

Fauci himself publicly refuted Biden officials’ claims that the administration inherited nothing of substance and was forced to begin at “square one.” Harrison explains that such an accusation is “absolutely preposterous.”

“We provided the Biden team over 300 transition meetings, including the very first one on Warp Speed which I kicked off myself,” said Harrison. “The idea that they’re walking in, having no clue what was going on, is absolutely preposterous” he added.

As for the distribution of the vaccine, which is being managed by U.S. Army general Gustave Perna, one former official described it as “extraordinarily detailed” and “comprehensive.” There has been a “99.99 percent success rate of shipping to the right place at the right time in the right quantity, under the right conditions” said the official.

Furthermore, there were plans in place for rollout led by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “CDC was the one who volunteered – not volunteered, asserted 0 itself to the task, and said that they were going to be in charge of this because they were in charge of pandemic influenza distribution and allocation” explained one former senior HHS official. Moral of the story? The Biden administration is unequivocally lying about the vaccine rollout.

Bombardier E-11A is the military variant of the civil Bombardier BD-700 Global Express for use as overhead communications-relay platform in southwest Asia. The BD-700 was selected due to its high service ceiling, up to 51,000 ft and up to 12 hours flight duration. Initially aircraft was designated as RC-700 under the reconnaissance classification but later was re-designated as the E-11A under the special electronics installations category. The E-11A is a U.S. Air Force aircraft that provides unparalleled communications capabilities to forces on the ground and aircraft in the air. Commonly known as Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, or BACN, this aircraft extends the range of communications channels and enables better communication among units. This element is essential where the terrain may disrupt communications channels and it enables ground forces to know what is around them when something is not in their line of sight.

Biden abolishes ‘offensive’ 1776 Commission, reverses Trump policy on racial training

President Biden on Tuesday said he’s abolishing former President Donald Trump’s “offensive” 1776 Commission on “patriotic education” and loosening rules on racial sensitivity training imposed by Trump.

The 1776 Commission released a “final report” this month after it was formed ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Trump’s ban on critical race theory, also established last year, forbade federal application of the ideology to train federal workers on “white privilege.”

“I’m rescinding the previous administration’s harmful ban on diversity and sensitivity training and abolish[ing] the offensive, counterfactual 1776 Commission. Unity and healing must begin with understanding and truth. Not ignorance and lies,” Biden said at the White House.

Biden signed four executive orders at the event, each apparently unrelated to the commission or racial trainings, which Trump created by executive order.

Documents signed Tuesday by Biden ordered the Department of Housing and Urban Development to address racism in federal housing policies, the Justice Department to end use of private prisons, the feds to strengthen relationships with American Indian tribes and the government to oppose anti-Asian American discrimination.

“Our soul will be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to persist. We can’t eliminate — it’s not gonna be overnight, we can eliminate everything. But it’s corrosive, it is destructive and it’s costly,” Biden said.

Biden as a candidate was often on the receiving end of criticism on racial issues.

Left-wing and conservative critics highlighted the Biden-authored 1986 and 1994 crime laws’ contribution to the mass incarceration of minorities, and Vice President Kamala Harris, as a 2020 presidential candidate, famously criticized Biden’s historical opposition to a federal role in interracial school busing.

“That little girl was me,” Harris told Biden on a debate stage, recalling her alleged experience being part of the first classes to integrate.

Trump signed the First Step Act in 2018 including provisions targeted to help minority individuals incarcerated under Biden’s crime bills.

The reform law allowed 2,600 primarily black inmates convicted of crack cocaine crimes to petition for reduced sentences. Biden’s 1986 legislation created significant sentencing disparities between powder and crack cocaine, contributing to racial disparities in prison populations.

Report: 81 Election Fraud Cases Brought To Courts, 30 Active Cases

OAN Newsroom

UPDATED 1:10 PM PT – Tuesday, January 26, 2021

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions has put together a comprehensive list of all of the court cases on election fraud brought forward in recent months.

The group found there have been a total of 81 cases filed in Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Jersey, Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, New Mexico, North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, New York, Ohio and Washington D.C.

Many of those that are still active were filed in the battleground states, where county totals were decided by just a handful of votes.

The case brought by the President’s campaign against the Secretary of Pennsylvania entered it’s third round as the petitioner pushed for the state Supreme Court to consolidate and reconsider former rulings regarding the counting of thousands of ballots that were improperly cast, but counted anyway.

The Nevada Republican Central Committee v. Clark County was filed in October and called for election officials to make voter records public as vote by mail processes led to a number of issues in the days following the election. In November, a judge ruled the county must reveal the number of ballots that were flagged due to signature issues, including signatures that were missing or unmatched.

While a majority of the lawsuits were brought forth by the President and his team, pockets of voters from across the country became their own advocates, filing lawsuits against election officials and state leaders all on their own.

One such group of voters in Georgia, many of whom doubled as poll tabulators and electors, filed suit detailing numerous instances of voting irregularities. A hearing was held in early January where the petitioners had the chance to bring their concerns forward.

“It is clear from the video that the people’s business in this very important process that we all hold so dear in this democracy, called elections, a one man one vote, was conducted in secrecy, not in the open,” Bob Cheeley, attorney for the petitioner stated.

Meanwhile in Arizona, two groups, “Mi Familia Vota” and “Arizona Coalition for Change” sued Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

The two groups ran voter registration drives and reported signing up more than 1,500 voters a week until last minute coronavirus restrictions brought their operations to a near standstill. They alleged Hobb’s deadline for registration violated their First Amendment right to free speech, and further violated the due process clause outlined in the 14th Amendment.

The report went on to say millions of Americans are disappointed with the U.S. judiciary system, with many concerned the issues of 2020 may come back to haunt voters just in time for the midterms.

Biden’s Pick for Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, Is Connected to Biden Family in Their Shady Deals with China and Ukraine

By Joe Hoft

Published January 26, 2021 at 11:31am

Biden’s pick for Secretary of State is connected with the Bidens in both China and Ukraine. He’s the best man for the job.

The pick for the Biden Administration’s Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, was involved in shady Biden deals in China:

Tony Blinken, the Biden administration’s nominee for Secretary of State, managed a Joe Biden project that received millions of anonymous Chinese donor dollars. Blinken appeared a handful of times in emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop agreeing to advise Hunter Biden when Hunter worked at the scandal-plagued firm Rosemont Seneca Partners. The Obama State Department set up a meeting between Hunter and Blinken which was postponed, and the two met two months later in 2015.

Hunter Biden coordinated introductions between Blinken and his associates, and Blinken was named in an email in connection to a shady prospective deal involving the federal government and Amtrak, a company that previously had Hunter Biden on its board.

In addition, Blinken is connected to the Bidens in Ukraine.

A conservative activist in Michigan who Rudy Giuliani called to testify during a hearing on election fraud says she is running for a local state House seat.

Melissa Carone, an IT worker, testified before a Michigan House panel in early December that she had seen electoral fraud take place.

A Wayne County judge found her allegations “simply are not credible," The Washington Post reported.

In an interview with Deadline Detroit last week, Carone said she intends to run for the seat representing Michigan's 46th District, which covers much of Oakland County in the Detroit suburbs.

"My ultimate goal is to get our ballots hand-counted and clean out Lansing just like draining the swamp in D.C. because that’s what we need," she told the outlet.

"Everyone that knows me knows that I’m not a dangerous individual and that I’m totally against violence," she continued, when asked about the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

"What’s dangerous is somebody stealing the election," she said.

Former President Trump and his allies including Giuliani have falsely maintained that the election was "stolen" from the former Republican commander in chief.

President Biden won the state of Michigan in the 2020 election by close to 3 points over Trump in November. However, following Biden's electoral win, the Trump campaign mounted several legal battles in the state in an effort to overturn election results. The legal battles ultimately failed.

Carone became an internet sensation following her December testimony, as she was featured in a spoof of the hearing on Saturday Night Live.

Carone said this week she created a new campaign Facebook page "due to the countless restrictions I've obtained I'm nervous FB is going to perminately shut it down."

"Thank you for all the support, I will continue fighting for election reform, protecting our constitutional rights as Americans, and fully supporting Donald Trump," she wrote in a post on Jan. 24, four days after Trump had left office and President Biden had been sworn in. "We are under attack, we must come together and demand our freedom back!"

Biden admin to purchase 200 million more vaccine doses, send more doses to states: reports

The Biden administration said Tuesday it would increase the amount of coronavirus vaccines sent to states by about 16% for the next three weeks and will purchase enough additional doses to vaccinate the U.S. population with a two-dose regimen by the end of the summer, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported.

Both reported that a senior administration official said the purchases would increase the administration’s total vaccine order by 50%, raising it from 400 million to 600 million doses. The Times reported that it was during a Tuesday phone call with reporters to preview the announcement of these purchases.

The purchases will provide enough doses to vaccinate 300 million Americans in a two-dose regimen over the summer.

Despite the boost in doses sent to states beginning next week, supplies aren’t yet sufficient for what is needed, a senior administration official said.

“It’s going to take a number of months for us to be in a position for us to say to Americans it’s open season to sign up for vaccinations,” the official said, according to The Journal.

The administration will also begin giving states a three weeks’ advance notice of their estimated vaccine allocations, updated on a running basis, to assist them with their planning, according to The Journal. Governors had said allocations fluctuated under the Trump administration, complicating efforts to staff vaccination sites and manage appointments.

Members of President Joe Biden’s administration, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky and White House coronavirus coordinator Jeffrey Zients, briefed state governors on the updates on a call Tuesday afternoon, people familiar with the discussion told The Journal.

‘We did not do enough’: Acting Capitol Police chief apologizes for security failure

Yogananda D. Pittman said the department was outmanned and unprepared for the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol.

The acting Capitol Police chief on Tuesday apologized to Congress for the security failures at the complex the day of the deadly Jan. 6 riots, acknowledging in an extraordinary statement that the department “failed to meet its own high standards as well as yours.”

During a closed-door briefing with the House Appropriations Committee, Yogananda D. Pittman, the acting head of the U.S. Capitol Police, said the department was outmanned and unprepared for the attack. She also admitted that a Capitol police board denied a request on Jan. 4 for additional support from the National Guard. It wasn’t until the building was overrun by a pro-Trump mob the panel relented, an hour after another plea was made.

“I am here to offer my sincerest apologies on behalf of the Department,” Pittman told members of the spending panel, which has jurisdiction over the agency’s funding.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund as well as two board members resigned after the Capitol siege that left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer. The Senate and House Sergeant-at-Arms also stepped down from their posts in response to the security breaches.

Pittman’s testimony — which she delivered via video conference — was first reported by The New York Times.

Timothy P. Blodgett, the acting House sergeant-at-arms, also told lawmakers that it was “clear there was a failure of preparation.”

“Whether it was insufficient or conflicting intelligence, lacking ability to translate that intelligence into action, insufficient preparation or an inadequate ability to mobilize partner agencies for immediate assistance, a series of events, once thought unfathomable, unfolded allowing our most sacred halls to be breached,” he said.

The acting police chief, who described the siege as a “terrorist attack," informed lawmakers that the department knew the protests had the potential to turn violent and that the Capitol was a target.

“We also knew that some of these participants were intending to bring firearms and other weapons to the event,” Pittman told lawmakers. “We knew that there was a strong potential for violence and that Congress was the target. The Department prepared in order to meet these challenges, but we did not do enough.”

Pittman also said the agency was simply outnumbered, noting they had just 1,200 sworn personnel working on site — “no match for the tens of thousands of insurrectionists (many armed) attacking the Capitol and refusing to comply with lawful orders,” she added.

Now, Pittman says, many officers — who had been working around the clock to prepare for the inauguration — are suffering from PTSD, as well as battling coronavirus infections.

The briefing marks the first time that officials have testified to Congress on the security breaches at the Capitol, though lawmakers have been briefed on ongoing threats to members and the complex.

But lawmakers who attended Tuesday's closed-door session said they still have key unanswered questions.

"We knew at some level they knew, but the real question is, why was that intelligence not acted upon?" Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) said during a press call. "So now we know they had it, we know they apologized, but we want to know why it wasn’t acted upon.”

“This is just the beginning of the beginning," he added.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the chair of the House Appropriations Committee, vowed that the panel will “continue to pursue answers to the questions that we did not cover today.”

"Today, we learned that the attack on the People’s House was preventable and that the government agencies tasked with keeping our country safe failed in their most basic responsibilities,” DeLauro said in a statement.

In the wake of the deadly riots, lawmakers have called for a 9/11-style commission to investigate the mob attack, which includes examining the security failures that led to the deadly siege.

“We will have an after-action review; there will be a commission,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week.

POLL: Most GOP Voters Say Patriot Party Is a Good Idea – Would Immediately Put Liz Cheney’s Republican Party in 3rd Place

The movement for a new political party started after Republicans threw President Trump and his supporters under the bus following the 2020 election. This was the last straw for many Trump voters. The Republican Party has become so weak over the past several decades that Democrats were unworried as they stole a landslide election from President Trump and gave it to a mumbling dementia patient in a basement.

If President Trump approves of a Patriot Party it would immediately make the Republican Party a third place party.

Rasmussen reported:

While advisers to Donald Trump have denied this week that the former president is planning to organize a third party, most Republican voters think a separate Trump party would be a good idea.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds that 53% of GOP voters say it’s a good idea for Trump to start a third party. Thirty percent (30%) of Republicans say a third party would be a bad idea and 17% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

#CapitolRiots Speaking to reporters today, Acting US Attorney in DC Michael Sherwin + FBI Assistant Director Steven D’Antuono reinforced the importance of identifying the individual(s) behind these pipe bombs first reported within hours of the Capitol breach by @CBSNews

Both devices were viable, discovered at RNC 1245p + DNC 1315p. This is the critical window on 1/6 when rioters began pushing onto the Capitol Hill campus just before 1pm. Both devices were “rendered safe,” which means forensic analysis unlikely to reveal DNA evidence or prints of the bomb maker(s.) Knowing who/what group was behind the devices goes to pre-meditation, coordination, and possible larger conspiracy. FBI reward now 75k

Sen. Patrick Leahy, set to preside over Trump impeachment, taken to hospital

Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat set to preside over the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, was taken to a Washington hospital for evaluation Tuesday, his spokesman said. “This evening, Senator Leahy was in his Capitol office and was not feeling well,” said his spokesman David Carle in a written statement. “He was examined in the Capitol by the Attending Physician,” Carle said.

“Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated.”

Leahy, 80, is the president pro tempore of the Senate, which makes him responsible for presiding over that chamber in the absence of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Leahy’s status in the Senate also puts him third in line in the order of presidential succession, after Harris and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
