The Trump Ceasefire Agreement begins on Sunday.
Hamas has agreed to turn over 3 of its Israeli prisoners in exchange for
90 Palestinian children and female prisoners being imprisoned by Israel.
This is a deal first suggested by Biden 9 months ago but did not gain any traction until Trump got involved in negotiations last week.
https://thehill.com/policy/international/5091201-israel-hamas-ceasefire-hostages/
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is poised to begin Sunday, after the Israeli security cabinet on Friday endorsed the deal covering it and the release of hostages and called for the full government to agree to the terms.

The start of the ceasefire will likely allow for the release of three Israeli civilian female hostages on the first day, in exchange for 90 Palestinian children and female prisoners. Those terms were included in the ceasefire agreement that President Biden introduced in May. Biden said on Wednesday the deal matched his spring proposal.

“Following an evaluation of all diplomatic, security and humanitarian aspects, and while understanding that the proposed deal supports the achievement of the objectives of the war, the Security Cabinet has recommended that the Government approve the proposed framework,” the office of Israel’s prime minister said in a statement posted Friday on the social media site X.

A Sunday start for a ceasefire would begin the clock on what is expected to be six weeks of calm, during which Hamas and the Israeli military both pause fighting and Israeli ground troops begin retreating.

While Biden led the painstaking efforts to draft the detailed terms of the deal and rally international support behind it, Trump turned up pressure for it to cross the finish line. This included dispatching his pick for special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, to exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to move forward with the deal.

https://apnews.com/article/trump-inauguration-capitol-rotunda-cold-weather-2e527b4f40309be7fd2b48a8173af390

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office from inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday due to forecasts of intense cold weather, upending months of meticulous planning for a massive outdoor event with crowds sprawling down the National Mall.

“The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way.”

The Rotunda is prepared as an alternative for each inauguration in the event of inclement weather. The swearing-in was last moved indoors in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan began his second term. Monday’s forecast calls for the lowest Inauguration Day temperatures since that day.

Outgoing President Joe Biden, members of Congress and some other dignitaries and notable guests will be able to view the ceremony from inside the Capitol Rotunda. But even if they are standing shoulder-to-shoulder packing the Rotunda as in 1985, many will be forced to watch the swearing-in from elsewhere.

Alternate plans were being devised to accommodate as many guests as possible. More than 250,000 guests are ticketed to view the inauguration from around the Capitol grounds and tens of thousands more were expected to be in general admission areas or to line the inaugural parade route from the Capitol to the White House.

Trump said some supporters would be able to watch the ceremony from Washington’s Capital One Arena on Monday, a day after he plans to hold a rally there. He said he would visit the arena, which has a capacity of about 20,000, after his swearing-in, and host a modified inaugural parade there.

The ERA Biden Era Wheezes Its Way to a Fittingly Deluded End

Joe Biden just finished addressing the American people from the Oval Office, for the final time in his presidency. And at the end of it all, with this humiliatingly garbled ramble that read like the sort of delusional self-exculpatory fantasy his caretaker wife might whisper consolingly into his ear, Biden concluded his career much as he began it over half a century ago: as a venal, petty-souled fool in denial about his own limitations and failures. (We learned nothing tonight that we didn’t already know. Nothing was revealed.)

wo dirt bike riders who performed stunts while weaving through traffic on Los Angeles County freeways Thursday night managed to evade authorities, officials announced on Friday.

Elon Musk recently unfollowed popular streamer Asmongold after the two became entangled in a controversy surrounding Musk’s alleged boosting in 'Path of Exile 2'.

Musk, who has been open about his love for gaming, has previously shared his gaming experiences, including his time as a 'Torbjorn' main in 'Overwatch' and claiming to be one of the best 'Diablo 4' players. However, Musk’s recent gaming practices have been questioned, particularly his performance in 'Path of Exile 2', with accusations of account sharing to boost his in-game level.

Asmongold, who had been following Musk on X (formerly Twitter), publicly criticized Musk for the apparent boosting, stating that it was “so obvious” and that Musk “cannot get mad” about the scrutiny. Following Asmongold’s comments, Musk swiftly responded, calling the streamer “not his own man” and accused him of needing permission from his “boss” for actions.

And before anyone fucking says anything, I fucking hate that this is somewhat relevant to current events just as much as you do. I fucking hate that this isn't just a minor bit of drama for the terminally online, because this motherfucker is literally a week away from having genuine power in the US government. We're trusting this man to manage our fucking budget and he's out here faking skill at a fucking video game and getting pissy about people calling him out for it. I fucking hate that we're entrusting this guy to make trillion dollar cuts when he doesn't even know how a video editor's job works. I fucking hate that this man will be able to make decisions that can affect the entire world in less than a week. Jesus christ, how did it get this fucking bad?

Me tell you 'bout big news in US Congress, okay? House Speaker Mike Johnson, he make big surprise, remove Rep. Mike Turner from chair of House Intelligence Committee. Turner, he very good at foreign policy, but some people think he too close to intel community.

Johnson say, "No, no, no, not President Trump decision, House decision." But some people think maybe House Freedom Caucus, they push for Turner out. They no like Turner, he make them angry last year.

Many people no happy with decision, like Rep. Dan Crenshaw, he say "we all have questions and concerns." Rep. Don Bacon, he say "it divides the conference, and I don't think that's good."

Democrats very angry too, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries say Turner removal "unjustified" and "shameful." Rep. Jason Crow, he say "it's very troubling... and it's foreboding that they are removing somebody as strong as that for apparently political reasons."

Now, Republicans on panel want to meet with Johnson, ask him why he make this decision. But some people think maybe Johnson just want fresh start, new Congress, new people. We see what happen next, okay?

Trump just made history again. His nominee for secretary of the Treasury is about to become the nation's highest-ever ranking LGBTQ+ official
The best part is, he didn't elect him to his post because of his identity or his demographics.
Trump's giving him the job because he's qualified for it, which is probably something the Democrats can't relate to whatsoever which is why none of them are cheering this on, because they don't understand a nomination decision not being made based on identity politics.

Trump Nominee Is About to Make LGBTQ+ History. Progressives Aren't Cheering

Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Treasury, is set to make history as the nation's highest-ever ranking LGBTQ+ official, but his nomination isn't being cheered on by progressives concerned about Trump's record on LGBTQ+ rights.

Why It Matters
If confirmed by the Senate, Bessent would become the highest-ranking LGBTQ+ official ever. Only four openly LGBTQ+ people have ever served in a presidential cabinet—Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and former Acting U.S. Trade Representative Demetrios Marantis.

His nomination comes as acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights backslid in 2024 according to a Gallup poll, which found 69 percent believe same-sex marriages should be valid, down from 2023 when that number was 71.

Bessent, who previously supported Democrats but has become a vocal supporter of the president-elect, would be fifth in line for the presidency if confirmed by the Senate.

Trump’s Mideast Envoy Forced Netanyahu to Accept a Gaza Plan He Repeatedly Rejected

Trump's Mideast Envoy Forced Netanyahu to Accept a Gaza Plan He Repeatedly Rejected By Chaim Levinson | 13 Jan 2025 | Israeli sources say that the involvement of the incoming U.S. administration, led by President-elect Trump's aggressive Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, revived hostage talks with Hamas. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's propaganda machine claims that Trump has left him no choice, what happens inside his coalition will determine whether the prime minister approves the deal

According to a Saturday, January 11 press release, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “held a discussion to assess the situation regarding the hostages and the missing with the defense minister, the heads of the security establishment, and with the American negotiators of both the incoming and outgoing administrations. At the conclusion of the discussion, the Prime Minister directed the Mossad Director, the Shin Bet Director, Maj.-Gen. (Res) Nitzan Alon, and his Foreign Policy Adviser, Dr. Ophir Falk, to depart for Doha in order to continue advancing a deal to release our hostages.”

The incoming administration was represented by President-elect was Steve Witkoff, who had just been appointed special envoy to the Middle East.

Two Arab officials told The Times of Israel that during the meeting, Witkoff pressed Netanyahu to agree to critical compromises needed for a deal. According to the officials, Trump’s envoy achieved more in one discussion to influence the prime minister than outgoing President Joe Biden had managed throughout the year.

According to an eyewitness who photographed the start of the first fire in California, the Eaton fire in CA was likely caused by the state mismanaging their forest and their electrical utility companies. Southern California Edison has a monopoly as the only electrical provider in southern California.
This harks back to the 2018 Camp Fire when the state-sanctioned power company PG&E was found responsible for burning down an entire town of people

SoCal Edison blamed in a lawsuit for starting one of the Los Angeles fires

Southern California Edison, the electrical utility for Los Angeles, has been sued for its alleged role in starting one of the raging Los Angeles fires that have collectively killed at least 24 people and displaced tens of thousands.

Jeremy Gursey, whose house in the Altadena neighborhood was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, claimed in a lawsuit filed in LA County Superior Court Monday SCE was responsible for starting the fire – an allegation SCE has repeatedly denied. Local officials also said Monday they still have not determined the cause of the fires, although they are investigating an electrical transmission tower in Eaton Canyon as the possible origin site of the Eaton Fire, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Gursey cited as evidence photographs taken by Altadena residents Jennifer Errico and Marcus Errico, who at around 6:15 p.m. on January 7 captured a small blaze underneath transmission lines running through Eaton Canyon. The Erricos on Friday told CNN’s Anderson Cooper they had spotted the start of the Eaton fire.

“I saw a glow in the hillside right above our house, and as I got closer, I could see right across from us on the hillside in Eaton Canyon, there are a series of transformer towers with power lines stretching up into the mountains. And at the base of one, there was just a small ring of flames around the whole base.”

With a little more than a week until his inauguration, Donald Trump and his team are trying to plan the executive orders that will fulfill his campaign promise of closing the U.S.–Mexico border and implementing mass deportation “on day one” — a task that comes with complications.

For months, Trump and his team have been looking for ways to bypass the traditional immigration legislative process to close the border and deport millions of undocumented immigrants. But as January 20 draws closer, it’s unclear if they can succeed.

Trump is reportedly considering invoking Title 42 — the public health order that allows authorities to block people from entering the United States to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Re-instating Title 42 would effectively shut down the border by preventing migrants from certain countries from entering the U.S. — but it would also require Trump to identify a communicable disease that poses a threat to U.S. citizens.

Trump and his team of loyal anti-immigration advisers, such as Stephen Miller, used Title 42 during the Covid-19 pandemic to expel people from entering the U.S.

The team has spent the past few months trying to identify a disease that they can use, according to The New York Times. Should they fail to find one, they could make a broad claim about possible unfamiliar diseases, though it’s unclear if that would hold up in a court.

While time is running out to iron out the complications of immigration-related executive orders, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has reportedly begun trying to manage expectations with Republican members of Congress.

The Los Angeles area was described as “like Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped” by an anchor on Fox Television in the U.S. and other media.

Another man interviewed by another media outlet said, "It looks like Hiroshima-level devastation for miles around.

Although it is still under investigation whether the wildfire was a natural disaster or man-made, it is possible that critics may draw comparisons to Japan, which became the world's only country to suffer atomic bombings as a result of the U.S. atomic bombings during World War II.

On the other hand, the Los Angeles County Sheriff, in explaining the death toll projection at a press conference on March 9, said, "When you look at the devastation, it clearly looks like an atomic bomb was dropped on these areas. So I don't think it's going to be good news as far as the death toll is concerned," he said.

This news has the Japanese distrusting the Americans.

Officials with the Santa Monica Police Department arrested 39 people in evacuation zones over the last five days.

Between Jan. 7, the day the Palisades Fire erupted, and Jan. 12, SMPD Lt. Erika Aklufi told KTLA that 10 of the arrests were for burglary.

Three suspects were taken into custody in one incident on 18th Street, while four others were arrested in the 200 block of Euclid Street and another two at 10th Street and Carlyle Avenue. Six of the burglary suspects were in possession of burglary tools, Aklufi added.
