Today a joint session of congress was convened to certify the 2024 election. With the Senate having confirmed the electoral counts, the President of the Senate, Kamala Harris, reads the results and certifies the incoming President and Vice-President. WATCH (prompted):

Consider this Elon’s first test of his political power. If he succeeds, there are strong indications he will eventually call for MAGA to remove President Trump.
Elon Musk did not like the responses during an interview that Nigel Farage gave GB News. Elon Musk is now calling for the U.K Reform Party that Nigel Farage created, to remove Farage from leadership. Musk wants Farage kicked out of the movement Farage created….
… Why? Because Farage doesn’t support Tommy Robinson with the same ferocity as Elon Musk.
I’ll put the interview below and you can listen to Farage explain his contacts with Elon Musk and his praise for the work Musk did to assist President Trump in the 2024 election. However, due to domestic issues within Great Britain, Farage feels the Reform Party needs to keep Robinson out of the movement.
Expecting Nigel Farage to embrace Tommy Robinson in the Reform Party would be akin to expecting President Trump to embrace Alex Jones in the new Republican Party. Elon Musk is currently testing the limits of his political demigod status.
Celebrating Liz Cheney with Presidential Award for Outstanding Citizenship, then using the opportunity of Jimmy Carter’s death to keep flags flying at half-mast during Trump’s inauguration and then awarding Hillary Clinton and George Soros with Presidential Medals of Freedom, is just more antagonism in a long-planned strategy of provocation against those who elected President Trump.
The targets of this psyche-poking are the American people. The full list of awardees includes Hillary Clinton, George Soros, José Andrés, Bono, Ashton Baldwin Carter, Michael J. Fox, Tim Gill, Jane Goodall, Fannie Lou Hamer, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, Ralph Lauren, Lionel Messi, Bill Nye, George W. Romney, David M. Rubenstein, George Stevens, Jr., Denzel Washington and Anna Wintour.

With the full support of President Trump working the members, House Speaker Mike Johnson won the speakership again on the first round of voting with only Republican Thomas Massie voting against Johnson. This was the first test of Republican resistance to President Trump and the DeSantis House coalition, aka the Freedom Caucus, conceded their first defeat.
President Trump called Texas opposition member Chip Roy personally, to put pressure on him to stop opposing the MAGA movement. It appears the pressure campaign was successful.
(Washington DC) – In a surprising move, Mike Johnson managed to tamp down a conservative rebellion and secured the support to remain speaker on the first ballot Friday, after two Republicans who initially opposed him flipped their votes.
After a long break, Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Keith Self (R-Texas) switched their votes to Johnson after initially backing others for the top House job. (more)
There’s a good background article on some of the discussions HERE. This is also a significant loss for the House Democrats and the left-wing of the UniParty apparatus. A prolonged speaker battle would have been good for their interests; however, President Trump intercepted the issue quickly and pulled Mike Johnson over the line in order to keep momentum moving forward.
When Joe Biden recently awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Award for Outstanding Citizenship, we previously said, “whoever is the architect behind this is digging deep into a very dark place for our nation. The one thing I am certain of, is that as a country we need to be prepared for some very unAmerican activity in the next year or more. The Marxist and Communist movements within our nation are going to counter the 2024 election result with every tool in their playbook.”
The intent of the outgoing administration is to purposefully antagonize President Trump. The announcement to keep the USA flags at half-mast for 30-days to recognize Jimmy Carter is simply one more dig.

Asked about Trump’s post at the Friday briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House would not consider reversing or reevaluating the half-mast plans. [LINK] The professional political left love their optics.
Morgan Ortagus is a very special kind of obvious Intelligence Community asset who always eats in the kitchen of the State Dept Restuarant. Ortagus reeks of tradecraft when you are around her. A convert to Judaism having married Jonathan Weinberger (2013), another dual passport holding IC asset (foreign govt) and former vice president of the Center for Global Innovation Policy, Mrs Ortagus is deeply entrenched with the Israeli intelligence community and political lobby.
Those IC credentials (specifically USAID/CIA) are what brought Morgan Ortagus to be spokesperson for the U.S. State Dept under the tutelage and alignment with former CIA Director turned Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. This is the deep kitchen crew; DEEP, as in VERY DEEP.
Without any doubt whatsoever, this appointment was demanded by President Trump’s Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio, deep state and AIPAC Senate control agent, Lindsey Graham, some very key and influential donors connected to AIPAC, and the one figure that I predict will be first dispatched by President Trump, national security adviser Mike Waltz. This aforementioned crew all hold an agenda to support those who eat in the kitchen.
President Trump likely cannot call out the kitchen diners without seriously disturbing the network that keeps the Deep State operating. Instead, he references them by saying, “These things usually don’t work out, but she has strong Republican support, and I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it for them. Let’s see what happens.” Where “strong Republican support” means the elected officials, majority funded by AIPAC.
A remarkable statement to witness within the announcement; literally jaw-dropping when you know specifically what President Trump is inferring.
Merchan is expected to deliver an unconditional discharge the “most viable solution to ensure finality and allow Defendant to pursue his appellate options.”
ABC […] Trump’s legal team is expected to try to stop the Jan. 10 sentencing, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. His lawyers intend to ask an intermediate New York appellate court to intervene and stop the sentencing hearing from going forward, the sources said.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung, in a statement, called Merchan’s ruling “a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s Immunity decision and other longstanding jurisprudence.” “President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process and to execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the Witch Hunts. There should be no sentencing,” the statement said. (more)
President Trump responded via Truth Social:
Every Legal Scholar and Pundit, including the highly respected, and sadly recently passed, David Rivkin, as well as Jonathan Turley, Elie Honig, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Gregg Jarrett, Elizabeth Price Foley, Katie and Andy Cherkasky, Paul Ingrassia, and many others, have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case, which is not only barred by the Statute of Limitations but, on the merits, should never have been brought.
This is nothing more than purposeful antagonism and a stick in the eye on his way out the door. Team Joe Biden awarded former House Rep Liz Cheney with the Presidential Award for Outstanding Citizenship.
In the announcement, Biden highlighted Cheney’s role as chair and vice chair of the House Jan. 6 committee, which concluded that Trump poses a danger to democracy. Biden also named Rep. Bernie Thompson (D-Miss.), who was chair of the House Jan. 6 committee, as a Presidential Citizens Award recipient. {LINK}
This is setting the stage for a level of vitriolic resistance to the 2024 election loss that even exceeds the level asserted in 2016.
Whoever is the architect behind this is digging deep into a very dark place for our nation. The one thing I am certain of, is that as a country we need to be prepared for some very unAmerican activity in the next year or more. The Marxist and Communist movements within our nation are going to counter the 2024 election result with every tool in their playbook. This celebration of Liz Cheney is just a small sample.
The messaging within the attack in Las Vegas is very clear. A Tesla Cyber Truck (Elon Musk) was used to attack the Trump Hotel. Obviously, a targeted attack messaging the incoming presidency of Donald J Trump. Meanwhile, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is from Louisiana, the location of the earlier attack.
The attack in Las Vegas is now linked to the early morning terrorist attack in New Orleans where a truck, also loaded with improvised explosive materials and devices ran into a crowd celebrating the New Year, killing 15. Both the Tesla Cyber Truck and the pickup truck in New Orleans were rented through the app Turo.
[…] “I’m being told that New Orleans was rented through Turo, and so was ours,” Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in a press conference. “That’s another coincidence that absolutely is continuing to bear from our investigation that we have to continue to look into.”
Turo is a car-sharing app that lets private car owners rent out their vehicles. It is similar to Airbnb or Vrbo but for vehicles instead of homes. (more)

The U.S. Attorney for Washington DC responsible for the arrest of 1,600 January 6th protesters, Matthey Graves, has announced his resignation in advance of President Trump’s inauguration.
WASHINGTON – Matthew M. Graves announced today that he is resigning as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, effective January 16, 2025, after serving in the role for more than three years.
“Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” said U.S. Attorney Graves. “I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General Garland for placing his trust in me.”
[…] While working to address the violent crime challenges that were plaguing the District when he joined the Office, Mr. Graves also led the largest investigation the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) has ever conducted to address the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. (read more)
