Excerpt:
President Joe Biden officially blocked Japan’s Nippon Steel from buying U.S. Steel.
In his statement, Biden cited national security and authority given to him under the Defense Protection Act of 1950 as to why he blocked the $14.1 billion deal:
We need major U.S. companies representing the major share of US steelmaking capacity to keep leading the fight on behalf of America’s national interests. As a committee of national security and trade experts across the executive branch determined, this acquisition would place one of America’s largest steel producers under foreign control and create risk for our national security and our critical supply chains.

Man who died in Tesla Cybertruck explosion was active-duty US Army solider, officials say– www.nydailynews.com

Excerpt:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The person who died in the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck packed with explosives outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel was an active-duty U.S. Army soldier, three U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Two law enforcement officials identified the man inside the futuristic-looking pickup truck as Matthew Livelsberger. The officials spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.
Three U.S. officials said Livelsberger was an active-duty Army member who spent time at the base formerly known as Fort Bragg, a massive Army base in North Carolina that is home to Army special forces command. The officials also spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose details of his service.
The FBI said Thursday in a post on X that it was “conducting law enforcement activity” at a home in Colorado Springs related to Wednesday’s explosion but provided no other details.

NEW YORK — Two deadly incidents on New Year’s Day — an attack being investigated as an act of terrorism in New Orleans and an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas — both involved vehicles that were rented on Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing company.
Early Wednesday, 42-year-old Army veteran Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar rammed a pickup truck into a crowd in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter — killing 14 people who were celebrating the New Year. And police fatally shot Jabbar in a following firefight. Just hours after, outside of President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas, a Tesla Cybertruck packed with explosives also burst into flames. The person inside, identified as active-duty U.S. Army Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, died. Officials later said he suffered a gunshot wound to the head before the explosion.

The uncle of an Army Special Forces officer who killed himself in a Cybertruck explosion outside of the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel opened a new can of worms on Thursday, offering an explanation for why his nephew might have detonated the bomb.
The Independent spoke with Dean Livelsberger, uncle of 38-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, a Green Beret who was recently promoted and appeared to have a bright future ahead of him before he was found dead inside the charred remains of a rented vehicle on New Year’s Day. The recognizable Cybertruck was filled with gasoline tanks, camping fuel, and fireworks mortars though contained most of the blast, according to FBI investigators who questioned why an elite soldier would use that vehicle if he intended to inflict mass destruction. According to Dean Livelsberger, his nephew was distressed and only intended to make a political statement through his suicide.

Authorities are investigating the possible links between an exploding Tesla Cybertruck outside President Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas and the attack on New Year’s partygoers in New Orleans.
Both attackers have a direct link via the military which the FBI is investigating, the Associated Press reported.

“There’s nothing to report on that score at this time.”

New York Times columnist Charles Blow joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Thursday’s installment of The ReidOut to react to the reaction to the New Orleans New Year’s truck attack by an ISIS supporter that killed 14 people where he claimed that the big problem is that the attack was “one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic,” and that allows people to ignore the “really big problem, which is young white men in America.”Reid led Blow with a statement rather than a question, “And last word to you on this, Charles, because this is the challenge. It’s very difficult to feel safe when, on top of everything that Mayor Landrieu just said, you have politicians that have a self-interest in lying about everything because it helps them with the political narrative, not concerned about the human narrative that could actually be really helpful.”

Excerpt:
Police have identified the suspect behind an attempted terror attack outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, including two startling connections to the suspect in the New Orleans terror attack on New Year’s Eve.
According to the Daily Mail, although law enforcement has not yet released the suspect’s name, they did carry out a raid of his home in Colorado Springs on Wednesday. The 37-year-old suspect, who was the sole casualty of the Cybertruck explosion, served at the same military base as Shamsud Din Jabbar, the terrorist who deliberately crashed his truck into a crowd of New Year’s Eve revelers in New Orleans on Tuesday. Jabbar was gunned down by the police after his rampage.
The Vegas suspect had multiple addresses connected to his name in the Colorado Springs area, which led to multiple neighbors being evacuated from the vicinity as the raid was conducted on his townhouse complex.

President-elect Donald Trump has petitioned the Supreme Court, asking them to delay a hearing on the potential TikTok ban from America should it not be sold to an American company. The President submitted an amicus curae, or “friend of the court” brief. He only requested a delay in the hearing, nothing more.
Trump asks Supreme Court to delay hearing on TikTok injunction – The Desk
Source Link
Excerpt:
President-elect Donald Trump has weighed in on a forthcoming U.S. Supreme Court hearing that could decide the fate of short-form social video service TikTok in the coming weeks.
Last Friday, Trump invoked a legal doctrine known as “amicus curae” to file a so-called “friend of the court” brief, during which he took no position on the case at hand but encouraged the Supreme Court to delay its hearing on whether to approve an injunction that prevents TikTok from being banned in U.S. app stores.
The banishment is rooted in a law passed earlier this summer that forces TikTok’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest its U.S.-based business to a stateside entity. The law was rolled into a federal appropriations bill that was mainly intended to green-light financial funding for the wars in Ukraine and Israel. President Joe Biden signed the measure into law in April, and ByteDance filed its legal challenge soon after.
The law requires ByteDance to divest its U.S.-based business by January 19; if it doesn’t, the measure requires U.S. app stores run by Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Microsoft and others to pull the TikTok app, making it unavailable for download to computers, phones, tablets and smart TVs.
The law doesn’t ban Americans from using the service, and the TikTok app currently installed on devices will continue to work as long as ByteDance and the manufacturers of those devices support it. But it makes TikTok much harder to access when users buy new devices or switch from one platform to another, or if they delete the app and decide they want to reinstall it at a later time, because it won’t be available in app stores. (Android and Microsoft users will still be able to download the app beyond app stores, but Apple device users cannot download apps that aren’t available whiten the Apple App Store).

President Trump made a surprising endorsement on Monday for House Speaker Mike Johnson to be reelected as Speaker as he faces challenges from other GOP lawmakers.
“Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!” Trump said after touting his own accomplishments on the campaign trail– no thanks to Mike Johnson.
Trump: We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a primary reason that we WON, in a landslide, the magnificent and historic Presidential Election of 2024. ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS (Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted, or under review!), ALL WON WITH EASE, CALM, & PROFESSIONALISM. Republicans are being praised for having run a “legendary” campaign! Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for, with some being used to illegally buy endorsements ($11,000,000 to Beyoncé, who never even sang a song, $2,000,000 to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even $500,000 to Reverend AL, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to “interview” their “star spangled” candidates, Kamala and Joe). We ran a flawless campaign, having spent FAR LESS, with lots of money left over. They ran a very expensive “sinking ship,” embracing DOJ & FBI WEAPONIZATION against their political opponent, ME. BUT IT DIDN’T WORK, IT WAS A DISASTER!!! LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!
