And here’s why the Trump campaign was denied to forensically examine Dominion machines.

Furious Los Angeles residents tore into their absent Mayor Karen Bass, who was 7,400 miles away in Arica on a political trip as raging fires turned the City of Angels into an apocalyptic hellscape Tuesday.
“RESIGN! WHY ARE YOU IN GHANA?!,” one person commented on an X post by Bass’ office giving an update on the wildfires
Bass traveled with three other people to Ghana for the inaguration of President John Dramani Mahama, who was elected last year.
“Hey Karen! How’s Ghana?” another person asked. “LA you ask? Yeah it’s burning to the f–king ground but it’s better you’re not here anyways because you’re useless.”Others demanded that Bass, who took office in 2022, resign from her post.
“You’re a disgrace & embarrassment to our country,” one comment read.
“You need to resign you incompetent fool,” said another.
According to Fox LA, Bass was heading back to Los Angeles.
Former US Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell also noted Bass’ absence in a post on X, writing, “The national media hasn’t even mentioned that Karen Bass is in Africa while our city is literally burning to the ground.”

PolitiFact, a disgraced, fake, far-left, unofficial propaganda arm of the Democrat party, is already melting down over the bombshell news Tuesday that Facebook will no longer allow them or any of the media’s fake fact-checkers to censor and blacklist conservative opinions.
We can now discuss things like “gender” and “immigration” openly.
Mark said so.
Tuesday morning, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg told the corporate media to kiss his ass in a video where he announced an end to “censorship” on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Further, more than once, he referred to the corporate media with the red-pilled term “legacy media.”
“We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms,” he said. “More specifically, here’s what we’re going to do. First, we’re going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X, starting in the U.S.”
“The legacy media pushed to censor more and more,” he said. “After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote non-stop how misinformation was harming democracy.”
Zuckerberg claims he is not only reversing these policies, he will work with incoming President Trump to “push back on governments around the world going after American companies and pushing to censor more.”
Before we get to PolitiFact crybabying, allow me to sum up what’s happening here… For the first time since the creation of mass media a hundred years ago, we are witnessing an end to the bad guys having control over the flow of information — control over what debate is acceptable, what questions are asked, what is and is not covered, what does and does not matter. In other words: The Narrative.
We all saw it yesterday on January 6, as the corporate media pleasured themselves pretending that a mostly peaceful protest where no one brought weapons was an “insurrection.” Nobody listened. No one cared. The media are Chubby Checker still singing “The Twist” in 1991 while Normal People focus on what matters — the future at the hands of a president who actually loves his country.
Yes, we should be wary of Zuckerberg’s transformation into a red-pilled believer in free speech, but maybe — just maybe — this is who he really is. Maybe Trump’s reelection triumph in the face of 100 percent media opposition showed Zuckerberg that the media’s hold on power is an illusion. Maybe Elon Musk thriving in the face of 100 percent media opposition drove the point home again. Whatever his intentions, Zuckerberg had a clear choice between MAGA and the legacy media, and he not only chose MAGA, he called the media and their fake fact-checkers “censors” and “biased” and announced a total end to their influence on Facebook and Instagram, two of the most powerful communication tools ever created.
So, of course, the fascists at PolitiFact are butthurt. No more can they tell a billion-plus Facebook and Instagram users that lies are truth. No more can they intimidate Normal People from speaking a truth or floating a crazy idea (Biden’s dementia) that might actually turn out to be true. No more can they control the debate, the questions asked, or what we as free people wish to discuss and how we wish to discuss it.
PolitiFact and their big daddy backers at the fascist Poynter do not give a damn about democracy or free speech. What they want is to empower the state by disempowering the individual’s right to be an individual.
Therefore…
This. Is. Glorious…
The bad guys are finally-finally-finally losing.
They are losing so bad, you can listen to the lamentations of their women:
No one’s watching CNN or MSNBC.
The Washington Post is collapsing.
The New York Times is beholden to its far-left subscribers and lives in that echo chamber.
The Los Angeles Times is openly courting Trump supporters.
And now, Xwitter, Facebook, and Instagram — the public square — are free of the legacy media’s evil and corrupt influence.
If villains like PolitiFact can no longer control how we talk to one another online, they have nothing.
Everything changed today. We must remain vigilant with Bond villains like Mark Zuckerberg, but everything changed, and the lamentations of their women prove it.

President-elect Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that he would not rule out using military force to annex Greenland, leaving many Americans asking: “But why?”
In fact, the ice-covered Danish territory, the largest island in the world, has long been a hot topic among strategists in Washington and elsewhere — despite Copenhagen’s insistence it is not for sale — due to its location along vital shipping routes and the presence of key raw materials that are rarely found anywhere else.
“Why? A few critical reasons,” a source close to the Trump transition efforts told The Post on Tuesday when asked about the president-elect’s goal. “Sending a strong, deliberate message to Beijing. Not just talk. Action. Making America Ambitious Again.
“And the president-elect is laying out the early framework of the ‘Trump Doctrine.'”
The US is currently locked in a three-cornered fight with China as well as Russia over the Arctic region’s natural resources — such as lithium, cobalt and graphite, according to the Wilson Center, a foreign policy-focused think tank in Washington.
“There are two main reasons [to annex Greenland]. The first is the large deposits of rare earth elements needed for critical defense and electronics manufacturing,” Atlantic Council nonresident fellow Alex Plitsas told The Post.
“Second, Greenland has a legitimately large claim to the Arctic and that would provide the US with a stronger position as competition there heats up for navigation and resources.”
As the 40th anniversary of Yitshaq Ben-Ami’s Yartzeit has just passed, the chasm between father and son reveals a painful and dramatic betrayal. Their differing approaches to Israel advocacy demonstrate how the once united cause of support for Eretz Yisroel has fractured across generations, culminating in Jeremy Ben-Ami’s stark break from the ideals his father so ardently upheld. The tale of the betrayal can be read in a newly released book entitled, “J Street UnMasked.”
Facebook is to scrap its fact-checking programme after founder Mark Zuckerberg pledged to “restore free expression” on the social network.
Mr Zuckerberg on Tuesday promised that parent company Meta would “get rid of fact-checkers” and replace them with a system of “community notes, similar to X”, echoing the approach of rival billionaire Elon Musk.
It follows the exit of Sir Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister and Liberal Democrat leader, as the tech giant’s head of global affairs, a role in which he led a crackdown on hate speech.
Sir Nick has been replaced by the former Republican Party operator Joel Kaplan, who will lead Facebook’s public policy operations.
In a further sign of the company’s shift towards the Right, Mr Zuckerberg this week appointed longstanding Donald Trump ally Dana White, the chief executive of Ultimate Fighting Championship, as a board member.
Mr Zuckerberg said: “Fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they have created.”
He added that Facebook would “get rid of a bunch of restrictions” on topics including gender and immigration amid a wider corporate backlash against diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Mr Zuckerberg said: “What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions.”
The Facebook founder said the technology company had gone too far in tackling “disinformation” in the wake of Mr Trump’s election victory in 2016, amid fears over Russian meddling and fake news, adding that “we’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes and too much censorship”.
He has previously accused Joe Biden’s White House of pressuring Facebook to censor content around coronavirus, saying: “I regret we were not more outspoken about it.”
The decision to ditch some of Facebook’s core moderation policies comes after the departure of Sir Nick, previously one of Mr Zuckerberg’s key lieutenants who was closely involved in the decision to suspend Mr Trump from Facebook in 2021.
Fact checking by experts will be replaced with something like the community notes system pioneered on X, where users can add their own checks to controversial statements.
Speaking to Fox on Tuesday, Mr Kaplan said: “Instead of going to some so-called expert, it instead relies on the community and the people on the platform to provide their own commentary to something that they’ve read.”
He added: “We have a new administration coming in that is far from pressuring companies to censor and [is more] a huge supporter of free expression.”
The loosening of online moderation follows Mr Musk’s takeover of X, formerly Twitter, and his decision to implement a system of “community notes”, where users fact-check posts and videos on the social media site.
Currently, Facebook relies on a network of third-party fact-checkers and news groups to report and flag posts that are spreading disinformation. These include news agencies like Reuters and AFP and smaller groups such as the UK’s Full Fact.
The changes will raise questions over the future of Facebook’s “Oversight Board”, which was set up to review the tech giant’s moderation decisions and is made up of public figures including the Alan Rusbridger, the former Guardian editor.
It will also raise questions over whether user-generated community notes will be enough to tackle coordinated disinformation campaigns by hostile nations.
Mr Zuckerberg admitted the changes would mean Facebook will “catch less bad stuff”.
In a statement, the Oversight Board said: “The Oversight Board welcomes the news that Meta will revise its approach to fact-checking, with the goal of finding a scalable solution to enhance trust, free speech and user voice on its platforms.”
Mr Zuckerberg added that Facebook planned to “work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more”.
It comes as Britain prepares to implement the Online Safety Act, starting in March.
The bill proposes a 60-day timeline to implement these sanctions and seeks to halt U.S. funding to the ICC.
