Federal Judge’s Last-Minute Decision Throws Trump Investigation into Chaos

A federal judge has temporarily halted the release of special counsel Jack Smith's investigative report concerning President-elect Donald Trump's classified documents case. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a temporary injunction on Tuesday, which will remain active until three days after the 11th Circuit Court makes its ruling on a separate blocking request. This separate request comes from Trump's co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who filed their motion Monday evening, referencing Cannon's earlier decision regarding Smith's appointment's constitutionality. Judge Cannon stated her decision aims to "preserve the status quo" pending the higher court's determination. Her order specifically restricts Attorney General Merrick Garland, the Department of Justice, Special Counsel Smith, and all associated personnel from sharing the Final Report or its drafts beyond the Department of Justice's boundaries. This restriction extends to any information or conclusions in the report […]

US Plans Humanitarian Aid Changes for Syria, Sanctions to Remain Intact

According to sources close to the matter, the United States is preparing to announce modifications to its humanitarian aid restrictions for Syria while maintaining its existing sanctions framework. The Biden administration's forthcoming policy adjustment will ease limitations on providing essential services, including electricity and basic aid. The policy revision comes after discussions between US officials and Syria's new governing faction, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which assumed control following the December 8 uprising that ended the Assad family's five-decade rule. While HTS remains classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, the group has publicly distanced itself from its previous Al-Qaeda connections. Under the new provisions, the US Treasury Department will be authorized to grant waivers to organizations and businesses delivering humanitarian supplies and basic utilities such as water and electricity. The Wall Street Journal reports that these changes, approved […]

“Biden Implements Extensive Offshore Drilling Restrictions

President Joe Biden has banned new offshore oil and gas drilling across major portions of US coastal waters, preceding Donald Trump's upcoming presidency. The policy encompasses the Atlantic coastline, eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific waters off California, Oregon, and Washington, and portions of Alaska's Bering Sea. This action joins several recent climate-related policies enacted by the Biden administration. Despite current record extraction levels, Trump's campaign promoted increased domestic fossil fuel production to reduce gas prices. "Drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary for our nation's energy needs," Biden stated, citing concerns from coastal communities and businesses. The ban, implemented under the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, covers 625 million acres. A 2019 court ruling established that presidents cannot reverse previous drilling bans under this law, potentially complicating Trump's ability to […]

Secret Mar-a-Lago Summit Could Make or Break Trump’s Second Term

According to three sources involved in the planning process, multiple groups of House Republicans have received invitations to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago next weekend. The invitations, coordinated between Trump's team and Speaker Mike Johnson's office, target Republican factions, including House Freedom Caucus members, representatives from states affected by SALT deduction caps, and key committee chairs. The meetings are scheduled between January 10 and 12 at Trump's Florida residence. These gatherings follow Friday's speaker vote, during which Trump intervened to secure support for Johnson's re-election from two initially opposing representatives.

According to two sources, the meetings aim to align Republican lawmakers from various ideological backgrounds on upcoming legislative initiatives.

Trump Claims Bill Gates Seeks Mar-a-Lago Meeting, Following Tech Industry’s Post-Election Pivot

Former President and President-elect Donald Trump announced on social media that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has requested to meet with him at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Trump shared this information in a Truth Social post on Friday morning, also mentioning plans for New Year's Eve, though he didn't provide additional details about the potential meeting. This development is notable because Gates has previously been critical of Trump, especially regarding his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic during his first presidency. Gates also supported Trump's opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the 2024 election with a $50 million donation to a nonprofit supporting her campaign. However, Gates did publicly congratulate Trump after his November 5 election victory. The potential meeting follows a pattern of major tech industry figures engaging with Trump following his election victory. Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently visited […]

BILLIONAIRE CIVIL WAR: Trump Allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Battle MAGA Base Over Immigration!

A debate over skilled worker visas has emerged among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, highlighting potential divisions within his incoming administration. The controversy began when Vivek Ramaswamy, selected by Trump to reduce government spending, shared his views on the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers. In a post on X, Ramaswamy suggested that American cultural priorities have led companies to seek foreign talent, stating that a society that "celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ" may struggle to produce top engineers. This perspective drew support from Elon Musk, Trump's chosen co-director for a proposed Department of Government Efficiency. Musk defended the H-1B program, comparing America to a successful sports team seeking top talent. He suggested the program attracts the "top ~0.1%" of engineering talent. However, their stance faced significant opposition from other […]
