"The city of New Orleans was impacted by a terrorist attack," Mayor LaToya Cantrell said of the carnage early Wednesday -- as the FBI investigated possibly improvised explosives left at the scene. The killer, who police said was ?h-llbent" on "carnage," was shot and killed in a gun battle with cops, two of whom were also shot, police sources confirmed. Photos from the scene showed a crashed white pickup truck -- with a black flag attached to the back.

Families 'must stay indoors for 48 hours' as highly contagious virus spreads - UK <https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/families-must-stay-indoors-48-30673142> | 29 Dec 2024 | Norovirus is highly contagious, but there are ways to protect yourself and other family members if someone in your household falls ill. According to the NHS, norovirus can be transmitted through close contact with an infected person, touching contaminated surfaces or objects and then touching your mouth. Food prepared or handled by a sick person can also be a breeding ground for the virus. And alcohol hand gels do not kill the norovirus bacteria. People suffering from the vomiting bug are advised to stay away from work or school until they have been free of any vomiting or diarrhoea for at least two days. It's also recommended that visits to places with potentially vulnerable individuals, such as hospitals or care homes, should be avoided during this time. [Do not comply.]

Wen's comments struck a nerve with many X users who recalled her asking Biden to implement vaccine mandates in federal workplaces and public venues in their jurisdiction during the Covid-19 pandemic. The health policy expert controversially stated the unvaccinated should not be allowed to go out in public. One X user said: "Dr. Leana Wen pushed to take away fundamental human rights...why would anyone listen to her again? This should be entirely disqualifying." Another added: "Leana Wen is a politician, not a doctor. Her health advice should be completely ignored.?

The ODA said that when there is an HPAI detection, the agency quarantines the facility and birds are "depopulated" to prevent the spread of the disease.

Watchdog sues State Department for records on censorship efforts, funding for ad 'blacklist' that included The Post <https://nypost.com/2024/12/31/us-news/watchdog-sues-state-department-for-records-on-censorship-efforts-funding-for-ad-blacklist-that-included-the-post/> | 31 dec 2024 | The State Department has been hit with a lawsuit demanding records pertaining to its now-defunct Global Engagement Center (GEC) subagency, which leaned on social media companies to suppress Americans' free speech and funneled U.S. taxpayers? m-ney to groups even trying to "blacklist" The Post. The Functional Government Initiative watchdog group filed the suit Monday to obtain potentially critical U.S. government communications -- following months of stonewalling by the agency about its grants under Joe Biden that backed the censorship efforts. "The layers of the Biden-Harris State Department's censorship industrial complex must be exposed so that all which occurred in 2020, along with any attempts to suppress free speech during the 2024 election, comes to light," said FGI spokesman Peter McGinnis.

Elon Musk accused of censorship as H-1B migrant controversy deepens <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14234173/Elon-Musk-accused-censorship-H1B-migrant-visas-X-premium.html> | 29 Dec 2024 | Elon Musk has been accused of censorship after his X social media platform allegedly removed premium features from accounts which criticized his stance in the fierce ongoing debate about immigration visas. Several prominent conservative accounts have complained this week about having their blue verification badge revoked... One account, called ConservativeOG, claimed more than 50 users had been affected by the apparent censorship by Musk, who prides himself on promoting free speech. It comes after the South Africa-born Tesla boss and incoming White House official voiced support for H-1B visas, which allow highly-skilled foreigners to work in the US for six years, rather than prioritizing American employees. [Elon Musk can pride himself all he wants, but the CLG's X account - @legitgov - is still shadow-banned under Musk the fraud.]

U.S. Attorney named in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony to resign <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/12/31/u-s-attorney-named-in-hunter-biden-irs-whistleblower-testimony-to-resign/> | 30 Dec 2024 | Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia whose name surfaced in testimony by IRS whistleblowers about political interference in the Hunter Biden tax case, will resign in early January, the Department of Justice confirmed Monday. Graves featured in the testimony of whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the IRS agents who went public about alleged political interference by Biden-appointed officials in the Hunter Biden tax probe. When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case, according to the whistleblowers' testimony. That declination was among the key points the whistleblowers addressed in contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's statements that Weiss had full authority to pursue charges against Biden.

Georgia AG urges state Supreme Court to reject DA Willis's appeal in Trump case <https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-ag-urges-state-supreme-court-reject-da-willis-appeal-trump-case> | 30 Dec 2024 | Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, after she was removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump. Earlier this month, a Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an "appearance of impropriety." The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. On Monday, the state's lead attorney, who announced plans to run for governor in November, posted a statement on social media regarding the ruling against Willis. "The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump," Carr wrote. "'Lawfare' has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.

Previous edition 1 Jan.: New Year's 'terror attack' kills 10 people, injures 35 after killer rammed revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, opened fire

Cybertruck Trump Hotel Bomber Was Dead From Gunshot to Head Before Vehicle Detonated <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2025/01/02/cybertruck-trump-hotel-bomber-was-dead-from-gunshot-to-head-before-vehicle-detonated/> | 2 Jan 2025 | The man suspected of carrying out a Cybertruck bomb attack outside of Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas was reportedly dead from a gunshot wound before the explosion happened, police claim. At a press conference Thursday, Las Vegas police revealed they discovered via the coroner's office that suspected bomber Matthew Livelsberger, a former U.S. Army veteran, "had sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle." "One of the handguns was found at his feet inside of the vehicle," police added. The detail raises several questions, as highlighted by keen X user Michaeluchio. "How long before the explosion was he dead? Was he filmed shooting himself before the explosion? Was the Cyber Truck [sic] autonomously driving on Auto Pilot before it pulled up to Trump Hotel?"

Bomber in Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion is married Green Beret whose wife had shared slew of Facebook posts spouting anti-Trump rhetoric <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14243689/matthew-livelsberger-las-vegas-tesla-cybertruck-explosion-colorado-springs.html> | 2 Jan 2025 | Tesla Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger is a long-serving married Green Beret who was on leave from active duty when he carried out the attack outside Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel. Livelsberger, 37, was identified by law enforcement sources as the bomber in Wednesday's attack, which left seven wounded. The electric vehicle exploded about 15 seconds after the driver pulled up in front of the hotel's entrance. The blast was caused by "a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck" or "very large fireworks," according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Livelsberger died in the bombing. He lived in Colorado Springs and was an active member of the Army. He grew up in Ohio and was married to social worker Sara Livelsberger, who in the lead up to the 2016 election shared a slew of Facebook posts spouting anti-Trump rhetoric.

In that position, Livelsberger was responsible for the ?operations, maintenance and integration? of drones in the military, according to the Army.

New Orleans truck attack terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar acted alone - FBI <https://nypost.com/2025/01/02/us-news/new-orleans-truck-attack-terrorist-shamsud-din-jabbar-acted-alone-fbi/> | 2 Jan 2025 | FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia confirmed Thursday that Shamsud-Din Jabbar acted alone in the horrific New Year's Eve truck attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, which killed 15 people and left dozens more injured. Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Raia called the incident an "act of terrorism." He said Jabbar rented a Ford F-150 truck in Houston and drove to New Orleans, posting five videos on social media proclaiming his support for Islamic terror group ISIS [I-CIA-SIS] between 1:29 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. He also said that investigators have recovered two laptops and three phones.

Authorities had been investigating a potential military connection between Jabbar and the Las Vegas suspect, who law enforcement identified as Matthew Livelsberger. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill previously told Fox News that there is evidence that Jabbar worked alongside accomplices to coordinate the attack. "FBI special agents and our law enforcement partners are currently conducting a number of court-authorized search warrants in New Orleans and other states," the bureau said in a statement.

New Orleans cops use bomb-sniffing dogs to secure Superdome for Notre Dame-Georgia Sugar Bowl after terror attack <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/college-football/article-14244565/New-Orleans-Sugar-Bowl-Notre-Dame-Georgia-terror-attack.html> | 2 Jan 2025 | Sugar Bowl officials and local authorities are cautiously proceeding with the rescheduled college football game in the aftermath of Wednesday's terror attack that killed 14 and left more than 30 injured in the French Quarter.

Dogs were seen sniffing vehicles entering the Superdome garage, as well as the personal belongings of anyone entering the stadium through the rigorous security checks.

It comes after the South Africa-born Tesla boss and incoming White House official voiced support for H-1B visas, which allow highly-skilled foreigners to work in the US for six years, rather than prioritizing American employees. [Elon Musk can pride himself all he wants, but the CLG's X account - @legitgov - is still shadow-banned under Musk the fraud.]

U.S. Attorney named in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower testimony to resign <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/12/31/u-s-attorney-named-in-hunter-biden-irs-whistleblower-testimony-to-resign/> | 30 Dec 2024 | Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia whose name surfaced in testimony by IRS whistleblowers about political interference in the Hunter Biden tax case, will resign in early January, the Department of Justice confirmed Monday. Graves featured in the testimony of whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the IRS agents who went public about alleged political interference by Biden-appointed officials in the Hunter Biden tax probe. When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case, according to the whistleblowers' testimony. That declination was among the key points the whistleblowers addressed in contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's statements that Weiss had full authority to pursue charges against Biden.

Georgia AG urges state Supreme Court to reject DA Willis's appeal in Trump case <https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-ag-urges-state-supreme-court-reject-da-willis-appeal-trump-case> | 30 Dec 2024 | Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the state Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, after she was removed from the election interference case against President-elect Trump. Earlier this month, a Georgia court of appeals disqualified Willis from the Georgia election interference case against Trump and others, citing an "appearance of impropriety." The panel also cited the romantic relationship between Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. On Monday, the state's lead attorney, who announced plans to run for governor in November, posted a statement on social media regarding the ruling against Willis. "The Georgia Court of Appeals has ruled that the Fulton County DA created her own conflict and rightfully removed her from the case against President-elect Trump," Carr wrote. "'Lawfare' has become far too common in American politics, and it must end.

Mask mandates return in multiple states as doctors warn of 'quad-demic' of 4 viral infections <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14243897/doctors-warn-pandemic-four-viral-infection-rates-soar.html> | 2 Jan 2025 | Four viruses are hitting the US as millions go back to work after the holidays, data show. Official figures reveal that infections cause by flu, Covid, RSV (a respiratory illness that causes the cold) and norovirus (sometimes called the stomach flu) all started to surge over the Christmas period, when families gathered to celebrate. The surge in infections is prompting a return of mask mandates in some states, with a hospital system in Wisconsin this week becoming the latest to reinstate them. Hospitals in parts of California, Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey have also brought back the rules for staff and visitors. Officials in New York City are urging people to consider wearing a face mask on public transport. [Do not comply.]

Ohio Gov. DeWine vetoes 'medical free speech' provision <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2025/01/04/ohio-gov-dewine-vetoes-medical-free-speech-provision/> | 4 Jan 2025 | Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine [R - RINO] let stand higher fees for public access to body cam footage but eliminated several provisions to other recently passed bills. DeWine announced late Thursday night he signed four bills into law but issued several line-item vetoes, including stopping provisions that would have allowed doctors to express different opinions from state views. The so-called "medical free speech protection" was a last-minute add to House Bill 315, a more than 400-page bill passed in the final hours of the last legislative session in December. The bill would have stopped state boards from disciplining doctors, pharmacists or other health care professionals who expressed medical opinions -- either publicly or privately -- that differ from the boards' views.

Biden Commits 306 Million to Prevent 'Potential Bird Flu Outbreak' in Humans Ahead of Trump's Return to Office <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2025/01/04/biden-commits-306-million-to-prevent-potential-bird-flu-outbreak-in-humans-ahead-of-trumps-return-to-office/> | 4 Jan 2025 | The Biden regime has announced a 306 million investment to bolster bird flu monitoring and preparedness efforts across the United States to combat a so-called potential bird flu outbreak among humans, right before handing over the reins to President-elect Donald Trump. In November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first-ever case of avian influenza A(H5N1), commonly known as H5N1 bird flu, in a child in the United States. The young patient, a resident of California, reportedly experienced mild symptoms and has since been recovering following treatment with flu antivirals. Last week, the CDC confirmed the first severe U.S. human case of H5N1 bird flu in a 65-year-old Louisiana man who had contact with sick backyard birds. Predictably, experts are now sounding the alarms about the virus's supposed mutations and potential for human transmission.

Mystery disease outbreak in China overwhelms hospitals in chilling echo of Covid dark days <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14247171/Mystery-virus-China-overwhelms-hospitals.html> | 3 Jan 2025 | China is reportedly being ravaged by a mysterious viral outbreak that is overwhelming some hospitals. Videos on social media appear to show hospital units overrun with patients in face masks, and parents holding sick children in long lines in pediatric units. There have also been unverified reports that crematoriums and funeral homes are being overwhelmed. The alarming scenes and lack of official commentary have led some to draw similarities to the early days of the Covid outbreak in China. Local news reports have blamed a little-known virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV) -- which normally causes a mild cold-like illness -- for the latest outbreak, though officials have yet to confirm this.

Mysterious fog sweeping U.S. sparks bioweapon fears amid alarming echoes of secret 1950 military program <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14248393/mystery-fog-operation-sea-spray-chemical-bioweapon.html> | 3 Jan 2025 | A thick, "mysterious" fog has descended upon a wide swath of the U.S., sparking fears of another "Operation Sea Spray." For one week in September of 1950, the U.S. Navy sprayed massive amounts of bacteria into the air two miles off the coast of San Francisco, California. The aim of this secret biological warfare experiment was to learn how vulnerable large U.S. cities like San Francisco would be to a biowarfare attack by terrorists [the CIA, etc.]. Now, 75 years later, some Americans fear this may be happening again as they claim an "unnatural" fog with a "burning chemical-like smell" has plagued their communities in recent weeks... Parts of Texas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Florida, and Minnesota were under fog alerts when the bizarre reports surfaced this week.

U.S. plans 8 billion arms sale to Israel <https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-plans-8-billion-arms-sale-israel-axios-reports-2025-01-04/> | 4 Jan 2025 | Joe Biden's administration has notified Congress of a proposed 8 billion arms sale to Israel, two U.S. officials said, with Washington maintaining support for its ally whose war in Gaza has killed tens of thousands. The deal would need approval from House of Representatives and Senate committees and includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters as well as artillery shells. The package also includes small-diameter bombs and warheads, according to the sources. Some of the munitions deliveries could be furnished through current U.S. stock, while the majority would take up to several years to deliver, the source said.

New Orleans Police will upgrade security for Super Bowl, Mardi Gras <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2025/01/04/new-orleans-police-will-upgrade-security-for-super-bowl-mardi-gras/> | 3 Jan 2025 | In a letter released Friday afternoon, the New Orleans Police Department says there will be increased security presence in concert with other agencies in the French Quarter. This comes a few days after a deadly terror attack killed 14 people and injured at least 35 on New Year's Day when a truck was driven into a crowd in the city's oldest neighborhood. The letter by Officer Reese Harper, the department's director of communications, said Bourbon Street will be closed to vehicles from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. "to ensure the pedestrian mall remains a safe space for everyone." The department also said additional crowd closures of side streets or major routes will be done as needed, depending on crowd size or special events. One of those special events is the 59th Super Bowl at Caesar's Superdome on Feb. 9.

New York judge sets Trump sentencing days before inauguration <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-judge-sets-trump-sentencing-days-before-inauguration> | 3 Jan 2025 | President-elect Trump's bid to toss his conviction in his New York criminal hush m-ney case was denied on Friday. New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected Trump's request to vacate the verdict in the case based on the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision. Sentencing is set for January 10 at 9:30 a.m, with the president-elect having the option to appear in person or virtually. But Merchan said he will not sentence the president-elect to prison. Merchan wrote in his decision that he is not likely to "impose any sentence of incarceration" but rather a sentence of an "unconditional discharge," which means there would be no punishment imposed. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20.

U.S. winter storms could cause power outages, cut natgas supplies <https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-winter-storms-could-cause-power-outages-cut-natgas-supplies-2025-01-03/> | 3 Jan 2025 | Freezing weather and snow storms across the U.S. could cause massive power outages over the next week and boost natural gas demand to its highest levels of the winter, according to energy analysts and reliability coordinators. The bump in demand comes as supplies of gas could drop due to the freezing of oil and gas wells and pipes, known in the energy industry as so-called "freeze-offs." The jump in demand coupled with a drop in supply could drive up prices next week. "Appalachia and Rockies production face freeze-off risks as temperatures drop into the single digits or below," analysts at energy consulting firm Gelber and Associates said in a note.

New Biden water heater ban will drive up energy prices for poor, seniors - expert <https://nypost.com/2025/01/05/us-news/biden-water-heater-ban-to-drive-up-energy-prices-for-seniors-poor/> | 5 Jan 2025 | The Biden regime is banning certain natural gas water heaters from the market as part of its climate change [aka the WEF's "You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy"] agenda, a move critics say will jack up energy costs for low-income and senior households. The move in the final days [God willing] of the regime will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change advocates [corporate socialists] and Joe Biden say cause global warming. The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today's least efficient tankless models. The rules apply to both non-condensing and condensing gas water heaters, but the rules hike efficiency requirements to a threshold that only condensing models can meet, effectively banning the cheaper but less efficient non-condensing models, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

Biden honors Dem donor George Soros, Hillary Clinton with Presidential Medal of Freedom, sparking outrage: 'A national disgrace' <https://nypost.com/2025/01/04/us-news/joe-biden-bestows-presidential-medal-of-freedom-to-george-soros-hillary-clinton/> | 4 Jan 2025 | Joe Biden bestowed woke Democratic megadonor George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Saturday -- outraging critics who ripped the selection as a "national disgrace." Soros, 94, was among the 19 people chosen to receive the nation's highest civilian honor at the White House, a group that included actor Denzel Washington and former senator Hillary Clinton -- who also was panned as a recipient. "George Soros spent millions electing soft-on-crime politicians that let criminals wreak havoc in our major cities," Montana Senator Tim Sheehy told The Post. "Hillary Clinton abandoned our Navy SEALs in Libya." "Joe Biden's decision to give Hillary Clinton and George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a national disgrace,? the GOPer added.

Mike Johnson Elected Speaker of the House After GOP Dissenters Change Their Votes <https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/03/mike-johnson-elected-speaker-of-the-house-after-gop-dissenters-change-their-votes/> | 3 Jan 2025 | Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) officially won the Speaker's gavel after a few initial holdouts, receiving 218 votes -- enough to secure the position. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) followed through with his pledge to vote against Johnson, casting a vote for Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN). Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) initially did not vote for Johnson either, instead choosing Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). Republican Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) voted for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) for Speaker initially, but ultimately, the latter two changed their votes, putting Johnson over the edge on the first ballot. That brought Johnson to 218 votes, securing enough support to be elected Speaker once again.

Congestion toll takes effect, costing NYC commuters 9 to drive below 60th Street - as drivers rip plan and trash Hochul <https://nypost.com/2025/01/05/us-news/hochuls-9-nyc-congestion-tolls-set-to-roll-out-jan-5/> | 5 Jan 2025 | Motorists heading into some of Manhattan's busiest neighborhoods have begun shelling out a first-in-the-nation 9 congestion toll -- a controversial levy critics contend will drive people out of Gotham and devastate the local economy. The scheme officially took effect at midnight on Sunday, meaning drivers entering the city below 60th Street will now have to pay 9 during peak hours -- 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends -- and 2.25 for off-peak hours. During peak hours, large trucks will pay 21.60, small trucks 14.40 and motorcycles 4.50.

New Jersey Teachers No Longer Required to Pass Basic Literacy Test <https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/news/new-jersey-teachers-no-longer-required-to-pass-basic-literacy-test/165479/#:~:text=The%20law%20went%20into%20effect,the%20state's%20Commissioner%20of%20Education.> | 3 Jan 2025 | Aspiring teachers in New Jersey are no longer required to pass a basic skills in order to be certified. New Jersey Democratic Governor Phil Murphy passed Act 1669 as part of the state's 2025 budget in June to address a teacher shortage, Read Lion reports. The law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2025. Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass the Praxis Core Test, a basic skills test for reading, writing, and math that is administered by the state's Commissioner of Education. "We need more teachers," Democratic Sen. Jim Beach, who sponsored the bill, said in May 2024 when the chamber cleared the bill in a 34-2 vote. Just a few months prior, Murphy also signed a similar bill into law that established an alternative pathway for teachers to sidestep the testing requirement.

Previous edition 5 Jan.: Mask mandates return in multiple states as doctors warn of 'quad-demic' of 4 viral infections

Congress Convenes in Snowstorm to Certify Donald Trump's Historic Election <https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/01/06/election-certification-livewire-congress-convenes-snowstorm-to-certify-trumps-historic-election/> | 6 Jan 2025 | Congress assembled Monday with snow and security personnel swirling around the Capitol to officially certify President-elect Donald Trump's historic political comeback. The counting of votes certified by each of the 50 states in December will make Trump's 312 electoral vote romp official only two weeks before Inauguration Day. "CONGRESS CERTIFIES OUR GREAT ELECTION VICTORY TODAY -- A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY. MAGA!" an ebullient Trump posted Monday morning on Truth Social. The Capitol complex, almost empty due to a rare heavy snowstorm in Washington, is blocked off by barriers in a security perimeter extending for blocks.

Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian Prime Minister after disastrous liberal policies tanked the economy and Trump's merciless trolling rocked his administration <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14254921/canada-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-announces-resignation.html> | 6 Jan 2025 | Justin Trudeau dramatically resigned as Canadian Prime Minister on Monday in remarks capping a spectacular fall from grace for the liberal standard-bearer just days before Donald Trump enters office. With his government in turmoil, a clearly dejected Trudeau, 53, said Parliament would be suspended until March 24 while his Liberal Party chooses a new leader. The scion of one of Canada's most famous political families had become deeply unpopular in recent years over a range of issues including the soaring cost of food and housing, and surging immigration. Trump has repeatedly mocked the Canadian leader by suggesting his country would be better off as the 51st U.S. state.

Biden issues sweeping offshore oil, gas drilling ban in 625M acres of federal waters ahead of Trump transition <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-issues-sweeping-offshore-oil-gas-drilling-ban-625m-acres-federal-waters-ahead-trump-transition> | 6 Jan 2025 | Joe Biden announced an 11th-hour executive action on Monday that bans new drilling and further oil and natural gas development on more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters. Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, said he is using authority to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska's Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing. He invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, meaning President-elect Trump could be limited in his ability to revoke the action. Congress might need to intervene to grant Trump authority to place federal waters back into development.

New Orleans Terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar Wore Meta Smart Glasses During Attack <https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2025/01/06/new-orleans-terrorist-shamsud-din-jabbar-wore-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-smart-glasses-during-attack/> | 6 Jn 2025 | Shamsud-Din Jabbar wore Mark Zuckerberg's Meta smart glasses while carried out his terrorist attack during the early hours of New Year's Day in New Orleans, killing 14 and wounding 35 others, the FBI says. "Meta glasses appear to look like regular glasses, but they allow a user to record videos and [take] photos hand-free. They also allow the user to potentially livestream their video," FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Lyonel Myrthil explained during a Sunday press conference.

Biden Commits 306 Million to Prevent 'Potential Bird Flu Outbreak' in Humans Ahead of Trump's Return to Office <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2025/01/04/biden-commits-306-million-to-prevent-potential-bird-flu-outbreak-in-humans-ahead-of-trumps-return-to-office/> | 4 Jan 2025 | The Biden regime has announced a 306 million investment to bolster bird flu monitoring and preparedness efforts across the United States to combat a so-called potential bird flu outbreak among humans, right before handing over the reins to President-elect Donald Trump. In November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed the first-ever case of avian influenza A(H5N1), commonly known as H5N1 bird flu, in a child in the United States. The young patient, a resident of California, reportedly experienced mild symptoms and has since been recovering following treatment with flu antivirals. Last week, the CDC confirmed the first severe U.S. human case of H5N1 bird flu in a 65-year-old Louisiana man who had contact with sick backyard birds. Predictably, experts are now sounding the alarms about the virus's supposed mutations and potential for human transmission.

New Biden water heater ban will drive up energy prices for poor, seniors - expert <https://nypost.com/2025/01/05/us-news/biden-water-heater-ban-to-drive-up-energy-prices-for-seniors-poor/> | 5 Jan 2025 | The Biden regime is banning certain natural gas water heaters from the market as part of its climate change [aka the WEF's "You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy"] agenda, a move critics say will jack up energy costs for low-income and senior households. The move in the final days [God willing] of the regime will take non-condensing, natural gas-fired water heaters off the shelves by 2029 in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which climate change advocates [corporate socialists] and Joe Biden say cause global warming. The new rules will require new tankless gas water heaters to use about 13% less energy than today's least efficient tankless models. The rules apply to both non-condensing and condensing gas water heaters, but the rules hike efficiency requirements to a threshold that only condensing models can meet, effectively banning the cheaper but less efficient non-condensing models, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

"Hillary Clinton abandoned our Navy SEALs in Libya." "Joe Biden's decision to give Hillary Clinton and George Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a national disgrace,? the GOPer added.

Individuals seeking an instructional certificate will no longer need to pass the Praxis Core Test, a basic skills test for reading, writing, and math that is administered by the state's Commissioner of Education.

Just a few months prior, Murphy also signed a similar bill into law that established an alternative pathway for teachers to sidestep the testing requirement.
