to cold weather, source tells Fox News
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/17/2025 5:17:52 PM
The swearing-in ceremony for President-elect Trump's inauguration will be moved inside because of cold temperatures forecast for Washington, D.C., Fox News has learned. Trump announced Friday that he had ordered that his inaugural address and other ceremonial prayers and speeches be held in the United States Capitol Rotunda due to expected winter conditions. "The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows," Trump posted on Truth Social, addressing the expected cold.

TikTok has shut down.
The wildly popular social video app has gone dark in the U.S. as the divestiture bill is set to became law at midnight on Jan. 19.
When The Hollywood Reporter opened the app around 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday, a message popped up which read, “sorry TikTok isn’t available right now.”
“A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” it continued. “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office Please stay tuned!”
Scenes From the People's March

As I described yesterday, the rebranded Women's March is taking place in Washington, DC and some other cities around the country today. The original Women's March brought out hundreds of thousands of protesters but this year's People's March has less lofty goals.
The march, two days before Inauguration Day, is a joint effort among civil rights, racial and social justice, and reproductive health organizations. Organizers hope that the march can inspire people who have who felt exhausted and resigned and that protesters can turn their passions, outrage and fears into collective opposition...
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has told advisers he wants to travel to China after he takes office, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, quoting people familiar with the discussions.
Trump has expressed interest in traveling to China in his first 100 days in office, the report said, citing one of the people.
Trump's inauguration is Monday, and Chinese state news agencies said on Friday that Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will attend as Beijing stands ready to strengthen cooperation.
Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, through their representatives, have discussed meeting in person,
President-elect Donald Trump told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in a phone interview Saturday that he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban in the U.S. after he takes office Monday.
Trump said he hadn’t made a final decision but was considering a 90-day extension of the Sunday deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell to a non-Chinese-buyer or face a U.S. ban. “I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully.
New polling from the New York Times shows that Americans, regardless of political party, agree with Republican positions on numerous transgender issues, including gender transitions for minors and sports inclusion.
The New York Times/Ipsos Survey, which was conducted earlier this month, found that a stunning 79% of Americans believe males should not be permitted to participate in female sports, even if the athlete identifies as transgender.
“Thinking about transgender female athletes — meaning athletes who were male at birth but who currently identify as female
'Shock and Awe': Trump's 100 Executive

Orders 'On Day One' Promises Chaos, and
Huge Changes 2 replies
Trump aides are calling it "Shock and Awe." There will be 100 executive orders (EO) and other executive actions starting Monday, Jan. 20.
Indeed, most executive actions aren't going to "shock" a lot of people. Trump has talked about all of them in the campaign and during his years in exile since his defeat in 2020. The scope of some of the EOs is broader than some on the left have been predicting, and narrower than some on the right were hoping for.
The audacious nature of the 100 EOs masks the probability that almost all of them will be challenged in federal court. Even if the challenges are eventually unsuccessful, some
WARSAW, Poland – Hundreds of Swedish troops arrived in Latvia on Saturday to join a Canadian-led multinational brigade along NATO’s eastern flank, a mission Sweden is calling its most significant operation so far as a member of the Western defense alliance.
A ship carrying parts of a mechanized infantry battalion arrived early Saturday in the port of Riga, the Latvian capital, escorted by the Swedish air force and units from the Swedish and Latvian navies, the Swedish armed forces said in a statement.
Latvia borders Russia to its east and Russia ally Belarus to its southeast. Tensions are high across Central Europe due to Russia’s war against Ukraine.
New York Times Berlin bureau chief Katrin Bennhold made Tuesday’s front page with a “News Analysis” titled “MAGA Forces Push Message Across Europe.” Bennhold’s reporting focuses solely on the dangers of the “far right” in Germany, or at least groups and personalities which she identifies as such.
There were eleven uses of "far right" in this article, and no "far left." This time, Bennhold’s designated villain out to disrupt the world is well-known to Americans: space entrepreneur and Trump pal Elon Musk.
For the last decade or more, Europe’s governments have been trying to resist covert influence operations from adversaries like Russia and China.
This was all so predictable. It was clear years ago that Biden's decline was worse than the White House wanted to admit. And as the evidence kept adding up, it was clear the people around him were lying.
As Chris Cillizza admitted last month, the White House was working very hard to discourage the media from looking into this and for the most part the media just went along with it.
But in addition it was also clear that, at some point in the not so distant future, the truth would come out. And so it has. Today the NY Times published another now it can be told story
Fact check: True. And false in another way, or at least incomplete.
The Los Angeles Times may not have gotten to the Dem Demo Dystopia story first; we've covered it here from other sources, for instance. However, it takes on more significance in light of the distillation of progressive Democrat governance in the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles. People had already begun fleeing California in droves over the last few years, with the Golden State holding U-Haul's top exit position for five years running.
The LAT catches up to the political implications for progressives in this Great Migration, or better put, a national flight to sanity:
Donald Trump’s incoming presidential administration plans to launch a large immigration raid in Chicago the day after he takes office, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing four people familiar with planning.
The raid, expected to start on Tuesday, would last all week, the newspaper said, adding that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) would send between 100 and 200 officers to carry out the operation. Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. But a source with knowledge of the incoming administration’s plans said Ice would intensify enforcement across the country and there would not be a special
TikTok said its services will go dark on Sunday without a guarantee from the Biden administration that it won't punish Apple, Google and other service providers if they support the app.
"Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19," TikTok said in a statement on Friday. The statement indicates that TikTok's American users base, which the company claims is over 170 million, will not be able to use the service when they open the app or website on Sunday.
TikTok issued the statement after the Supreme Court

After weeks of speculation that the most famous marriage in politics was in trouble, Barack Obama posted a fawning tribute to the “love of his life,” Michelle Obama, in honor of her 61st birthday on Friday.
“You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace — and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!,” he wrote on Instagram, beneath a photo of the casually-dressed couple holding hands over dinner.
“Love you, honey!” his wife quickly replied.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass got into office promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and promising to tackle homelessness and pollution — but she never promised to drain the swamp. Now she stands accused of adding to it, through “legalized corruption” and a number of eye opening scandals which have come to light after renewed scrutiny in the last two weeks following the revelation Bass and her cronies defunded the Los Angeles Fire Department by $17 million, contributing to them being underprepared to tackle the wildfires currently destroying the city.
Washington— President Biden and his aides have spent their final days in office announcing 32 executive actions — on topics from immigration to offshore drilling — aimed at tying up President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.
The lame-duck 82-year-old’s flurry of late moves to try to make himself a hero to Democrats and obstruct his successor’s agenda include: (Photo) Deportation protection
.
Granting Temporary Protected Status to almost 1 million people, meaning they are protected from deportation and entitled to work permits. The action, decreed by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Jan. 10, shields 234,000 Salvadorans, 1,900 Sudanese, 104,000 Ukrainians and 600,000 Venezuelans for a period of 18 months.
The US Treasury Department will start taking "extraordinary measures" next week to avoid risking a default on government debt, Secretary Janet Yellen said Friday, days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
With the government reaching its borrowing limit, the department would start making the moves on Tuesday, the day after the inauguration, Yellen said in a letter to congressional leaders. That will mean Trump's administration has to grapple immediately with the issue of the debt ceiling. In the past, Congress has routinely voted to lift this bar, but that tool has become a contentious issue, with Republican budget hawks calling for drastic spending reductions instead.
A lot of us Catholics have been weirded out by President Trump's closeness to Catholic culture. We couldn't figure out where it came from. Last year, he wished the Virgin Mary a happy birthday. He tweeted an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. He issued praise for All Saints Day. (Snip) It all began a few years ago when Father Mann was walking through a Queens cemetery and came upon the gravesite of Trump’s parents and grandparents.
“It was slightly overgrown,” Father Mann recalled. “I thought this shouldn’t be. This is a historic site. So, I went and bought a weed whacker and some decorations and fixed up the plot.
It’s official: the Biden era is ending, and the return of Donald Trump to the White House is just 48 hours away. Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson posted a video on X with the caption, “Moving day in the West Wing.” As the outgoing president participates in the inauguration ceremonies, the White House staff undertakes a rapid transformation of the executive residence to accommodate the incoming first family. This operation is typically completed within a span of approximately five to six hours, according to abc News.
“Sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe?” the speaker asked. “I didn’t do that,” Biden replied. He had, three weeks earlier—but he wasn’t aware of what he’d signed.
The Republican speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has had a front-row seat to the intellectual decline of Joe Biden. On Friday, in an interview with Bari Weiss for Honestly, Johnson shared an anecdote that demonstrated just how checked out the outgoing president has been. During the third week of January 2024, Johnson was invited to a meeting at the Oval Office with several of Biden’s top national security advisers and cabinet chiefs.
As relieved as I am that Trump will take the helm of the nation on Monday, I will watch Joe Biden wander off into the sunset and the sand dunes of Rehoboth Beach with a slight pang of regret.Hear me out: Joe Biden was a one-man blooper reel. He was a never-ending source of fodder for columnists and humorists and never failed to amaze, baffle, and sometimes even terrify those of us tasked with chronicling and commenting on the last four years. Potential senility aside, were it not for the fact that he is a mean-spirited, corrupt, avaricious, and vindictive old man who felt entitled
The ceasefire between Hamas and Israel will go into effect in less than 24 hours, said Qatar’s foreign ministry on Saturday.
In a post on X, Qatar’s foreign minister Majid al-Ansari, said the ceasefire will start at 8:30 a.m. (0630 GMT) Sunday. He advised people to exercise caution when the agreement goes into effect and wait for directions from officials.
Early Saturday morning, Israel’s Cabinet approved the deal for a ceasefire in Gaza that would release dozens of hostages and pause the 15-month war with Hamas, bringing the sides a step closer to ending their deadliest and most destructive fighting ever.
South Fulton, Georgia Mayor Khalid Kamau — who once went by the name Mayor Khalid but apparently goes by the name Mayor Kobi now — likes to tell people he's "America's first Black Lives Matter organizer elected to public office." (Snip) But rather than donations, he's doing it with public funds. Specifically, he's doing it with $26,000 worth of public funds.
Members of the public in South Fulton, along with City Councilwoman Helen Willis, believe Kamau used a city-issued card to make what appears to be thousands of dollars of personal purchases between October and December 2024.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reportedly "broke down in tears" during a private meeting discussing President-elect Donald Trump, a moment that many will see as a sign of the deep emotional and political grip Trump continues to have on Washington bureaucrats. His liberal meltdown shows Trump still has a hold over Democrats who feel threatened by him. While some may view Schumer’s emotional reaction as a sign of vulnerability, others may see it as a reflection of the left's fear about Trump's return to power
A group of California firefighters stopped an alleged looter from robbing a burned-down house and jetting off with an Emmy Award that had miraculously survived the fiery carnage of the Eaton Fire.
Smoke eaters with the Los Angeles County Fire Department were working in a burned-down Altadena neighborhood on Thursday when they came across two suspicious people who were leaving one of the properties.
One of the firefighters confronted a woman – wearing a dark sweatshirt and skirt over sweatpants – carrying possessions from the home including the prestigious award.
