Transgender trailblazer Sarah McBride
heads to her debut in Congress, hoping
for a touch of grace
Posted By: Imright, 1/1/2025 11:22:54 PM
DOVER, Del.—It was her last day in session as a Delaware state senator, and Sarah McBride sat in her tiny office at the state Capitol, preparing farewell remarks. She had made history here, as the first openly transgender state senator in the country. Now she was making history again, recently elected as the first openly transgender member of Congress. Her political promotion has come during a reckoning for transgender rights, when legislation in Republican-governed states around the country aims to curb their advance. During an election where a deluge of campaign ads and politicians demeaned trans people, McBride still easily won her blue state’s only seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

President Joe Biden awarded Hunter Biden’s friend, Bobby Sager, with the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, underscoring Hunter’s influence over the octogenarian.
Sager, a photographer and philanthropist, earned the award after he allegedly created opportunity for low-income people abroad, including Palestinian women artisans.Sager is also a self-described “selfish” person who became friends with Hunter only in the last two years, NBC News reported. Sager is a huge fan of Joe Biden’s pardon of Hunter, claiming Hunter had a challenging history while making millions from foreign entities while his dad was vice president.

Oil Drilling, Impeding Trump’s Energy
Production Plans 5 replies
In the final days of his term, President Joe Biden is set to ban new offshore oil and gas developments in some areas of the U.S. coast, a move that would hinder President-elect Donald Trump’s push for more energy production.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday that Biden is expected to issue an executive order “within days” that would prevent the sale of drilling rights in certain areas of the outer continental shelf. Biden’s move to further ban offshore drilling would be based on a 1953 law that gives the president the power to permanently stop offshore oil drilling in U.S. waters without explicitly giving presidents the power to revoke
Dust off those red MAGA hats and polish ‘em up, because it’s 2025 and that means Donald J. Trump is about to retake the White House.
What? You don't have one? Hogwash! Isn't that what ‘mandate’ means? That everyone secretly owns one in their closet, ready to break it out at a moment's notice if folks get a little too rambunctious?
No? Just me? Okeedokee!
Anyway, for those of you who don't own one, I've got some great news for you … MAGA hats are OUT, and these new bad boys that Trump debuted earlier this week while playing 18 with JD Vance are very much IN.
President Biden and his staff are going out guns blazing — all barrels blasting away to do as much damage as possible to America before they go.
Just look at the dirty-laundry list Joe (or whoever’s actually making the decisions) has rammed through as his last days tick down.
More bans on drilling for oil and gas, even after his war on domestic energy helped cripple America strategically and inflict massive price pain at the pump and elsewhere. Heck, he even moved to squeeze natural-gas exports.
That’s as the administration agreed to yet another inane Paris Accord climate goal to drive down US emissions by close to 70% by 2035.
Vice President-elect JD Vance underwent a “long-planned” minor surgery Friday after appearing at the Capitol earlier in the day for the Senate’s swearing-in ceremony.
“The Vice President-elect is having long-planned, minor sinus surgery and will be back at work tomorrow,” his spokesperson William Martin told Fox News.
The surgery reportedly took place at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC.
The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
EXCLUSIVE: President-elect Donald Trump slammed Judge Juan Merchan for denying his request to dismiss the charges against him in New York v. Trump, telling Fox News Digital Democrats "just want to see if they can get a pound of flesh because every case has failed."
Merchan denied Trump’s request to toss his guilty verdict in New York v. Trump, brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and set his sentencing for Jan. 10—just ten days before he is sworn in as 47th President of the United States. Merchan said there would be no imposition of a sentence including incarceration, jail time, a fine, or probation, but rather, likely, a sentence of
Last month, actor and comedian Rob Schneider told Fox News that his new company, No Apologies Media, would be launching an all-female conservative talk show to counter ABC's "The View." However, he said it won't be just like "The View." It'll actually be something people might want to watch. "It will be the opposite because this will be entertaining. It'll be funny. It'll have funny women on it that are going to tell jokes and tell stories, and health and wellness," Schneider said. He added that people are sick of politics and the shaming that comes along with it. "We're going to have an entertaining show with people —
Serial liar and Trump-Russia collusion hoaxer Adam Schiff officially resigned from Congress last month after more than two decades in the US House of Representatives.
Schiff was into the Senate after defeating Republican Steve Garvey in California.
Adam Schiff is succeeding Newsom-appointed Senator Laphonza Butler. (X) Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer unveiled Democrat committee assignments on Thursday.Schiff boasted about his new committee assignments on Thursday. He will be serving on the very powerful Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I just received my Senate committee assignments: Judiciary, Agriculture, Small Business, and Environment & Public Works,” Schiff said.
President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday announced the team that will work to support his Treasury nominee, Scott Bessent, as well as his picks for U.S. ambassador in two European nations. Trump named Ken Kies as Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy.
Ken has been a tax lawyer for 47 years, and has served as the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, and the Chief Republican Tax Counsel of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Alexandra Preate will be the Senior Counselor to the Secretary. Alexandra is an accomplished executive in public relations,
The disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin thinks it is only a matter of time before she is sent to an internment camp.
In an interview with Chicago’s WGN radio station this week, Griffin urged her fans to buy tickets to her latest tour, My Life On the PTSD List, before she is taken away by authorities.
“Come see me before I’m in one of those internment camp,” she said. “I’m on the enemies list. That’s very obvious.”
“He was very, very scared when I did a parody photo of him and a Halloween mask and a lot of ketchup.
The 119th Congress has just begun, and Republicans have a new leader in the Senate with Sen. John Thune (R-SD). As Thune has been saying ever since he was selected as majority leader in November, he plans to protect the filibuster, the very institution Senate Democrats fought so ferociously to destroy when they were in the majority. They would have ramped up those efforts even further, had they kept control of the chamber. For Friday's speech, Thune plans to again reference his commitment to the filibuster. On Friday morning, The Hill shared Thune's prepared remarks that the outlet obtained, with emphasis on protecting the filibuster.
Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to botch the Pledge of Allegiance as the Senate was sworn in for the 119th Congress.
“I pledge allegiance to the United States of America,” the vice president said as she led the Senate in the pledge, omitting the words “the flag of.” (Photo) The full pledge, which many children have memorized in grade school, goes as follows: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Joe Biden is preparing to permanently ban new offshore oil and gas development in key U.S. coastal waters, which will be “difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas.”
This last-ditch effort to block President-elect Donald Trump’s energy agenda is expected to be enshrined in an executive order, marking yet another chapter in Biden’s war on American energy.
Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.
Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson — come on down and collect your door prizes.
Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming who burned down every principal she ever held dear to engage in the J6 investigative crusade, and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who chaired the Select Committee investigating a relatively mundane protest at the Capitol, are set to accept some very shiny participation awards.Joe Biden, currently serving as president in name only, will award the two committee circus ringleaders with the nation's second highest civilian award — the Presidential Citizens Medal.
The dynamic duo are two of 20 individuals set to be honored with the award on Thursday.
This is truly chilling, especially in the wake of today’s terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
A former CIA officer named Sarah Adams was interviewed on the Shawn Ryan podcast just two weeks ago, and warned that there are more than a thousand al-Qaeda sleepers in the United States right now who are planning major attacks on the homeland.
She clearly implicates Biden’s open southern border as the entry point for these potential terrorists and suggests that they have developed new tactics and bombs that can evade detection through traditional means.
Zero Hedge has more details:
NEW ORLEANS - Authorities held a press conference Thursday morning (Jan. 2), providing updates on the Bourbon Street terror attack that claimed the lives of 14 victims and injured 35 others early New Year’s Day.
FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia confirmed that 14 victims died in the attack, along with the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, bringing the total to 15 fatalities.
“This was a premeditated, evil act,” Raia told reporters. Officials revealed that Jabbar posted five videos between 1:20 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. on New Year’s Day, proclaiming support for ISIS.
In the first video, Raia says Jabbar expressed a desire to kill his friends and family, but ultimately desired
It seems like just this summer that I wished Presidentish Joe Biden a "fondless farewell" as "easily the worst human being to hold the office of president of the United States." [Steve, it was just last summer —Editor] But now that the man whose "ability to f*** things up" has never been underestimated at this site prepares to leave the office he barely held, let's reminisce about the things we won't miss the most.
"Biden exited the stage last night," I wrote of his too-late-for-primetime DNC farewell address, "largely forgotten before he'd walked onto it." He'll vacate the White House the same way on the morning of Jan. 20.
The disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin thinks it is only a matter of time before she is sent to an internment camp.
In an interview with Chicago’s WGN radio station this week, Griffin urged her fans to buy tickets to her latest tour, My Life On the PTSD List, before she is taken away by authorities.

Is she drunk? Heavily medicated?
Fresh off of a hip transplant, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi posted a bizarre video to X on Thursday claiming she was on her way to DC to represent her constituents and share “San Francisco values.”
San Francisco values = Needles in the street, homelessness and rampant retail theft.
84-year-old Pelosi could barely open her eyes as she heavily slurred her words.“Hi, it’s Nancy. I’m on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,”
Emboldened by correctly predicting Kamala would get the debate questions in advance (oh, I apologize, ABC, it was just the topics, not the questions, so it’s all good and you smell like a rose), I’m going to go way out on a limb with another prediction: Joe Biden will issue mass pardons to the J6 inmates. Before you say I’m crazy, here are numerous reasons why he might do it:
It steals Donald Trump’s thunder of doing it himself five minutes after the inauguration
Many J6 inmates are getting out anyway in a few weeks
The J6 insurrection narrative is going to collapse as the evidence comes out
A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence.
The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators.
In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.”
The brother of the terrorist who launched the deadly car attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans says that “radicalization” is to blame for his kin’s rampage.
Abdur Jabbar, 24, of Beaumont, Texas, told The New York Times that his brother Shamsud-Din Jabbar — who killed at least 15 people in the New Year’s Day attack — converted to Islam at an early age. (Photos)
The younger Jabbar told the newspaper that what his brother “did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
The FBI has remained silent on whether it will fire or discipline the agent who initially told the media and public that the shocking New Year's Day attack in New Orleans was "not a terrorist event," before the agency quickly backtracked and reported the attack was in fact under investigation as a terror incident. Fox News Digital reached out to the FBI's press office and press secretary on Thursday and Friday, inquiring whether New Orleans field office FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan would face termination or disciplinary action over her initial claim the attack was not connected
After Shamsud-din Jabbar’s New Orleans attack turned a New Year’s celebration into violent tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to show why it has forfeited the trust of the American people.
Jabbar affixed an ISIS flag to the pickup he drove at high speed into a crowd of revelers, killing at least 14 people.
Yet the FBI at first refused to call the attack what it plainly was: terrorism.
That’s even though it arrested a shocking 10 ISIS would-bes in 2024 alone, thankfully before they were able to carry out any attacks — including a 17-year-old in Arizona.
“This is not a terrorist event,”
