    Ok, maybe the hockey was a bad idea, Canada is still better. But think how great our countries can be together! And how awesome that map will look, from the Gulf of California to the Gulf of America all the way up to the Yukon and over to Greenland! All America! Then we merge with Russia and it’s world domination!

    I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the Newsmax audience isn’t very familiar with Pol Pot, the history of Cambodia or much history about anything at all for that matter.

    Executive orders 100, bills and legislation passed in 4 years? I'll wager less than 4 that do anything for the working class, national security or infrastructure. I'll also predict national debt to increase by 5 - 7 trillion under his dumbass. And yet people will blame it on democrats who won't have power for 2 of the 4 years.  
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Elon Musk answers call to deliver Starlinks in wildfire-ravaged California: Grey Bull Rescue chairman

    SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is donating Stalinks to those in need of Wi-Fi in California amid devastating wildfires that have left residents without internet or cellphone service.

    FIRST ON FOX: SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is donating Starlinks to those in need of Wi-Fi in California amid devastating wildfires that have left residents without internet or cellphone service.

    Nonprofit rescue group Grey Bull Rescue met with Musk and first responders over the weekend to help set up the Starlink devices, which connect to satellites, in the Los Angeles area.

    "Effective communication is essential in any crisis, war, or disaster—especially in remote and devastated areas where communication infrastructure is destroyed like we see here in California," Grey Bull Rescue Chair Bryan Stern told Fox News Digital in a Monday statement. "Yesterday, Grey Bull Rescue was honored to assist the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) by securing Starlink mini units to provide them with critical communications in areas devastated by wildfires."
    Stern noted, however, that LACFD and other emergency services agencies in California "have been asking for Starlink for quite some time for expressly this type of scenario," but red tape got "in the way of this mission-critical need of effective disaster communications for first responders."

    Musk announced the Starlink donations on Jan. 9. On Sunday, the billionaire Tesla founder and CEO said that he would be donating Cybertrucks to impacted areas as well.

    "Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days," he wrote on X, which he owns. "We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week."

    Grey Bull Rescue said LACFD had requested help with a "mission-critical gap" for internet.

    "This is where the private sector shows its number one capability: SPEED."

    — Bryan Stern, Grey Bull Rescue chair

    "[Six] hours later, via Grey Bull Rescue, the problem was solved with the gold standard in austere environment communications: Starlink," Stern said. "Hearing about the need, Elon Musk then visited with Grey Bull Rescue and the LACFD at their staging site and personally delivered hundreds more additional Starlink minis, demonstrating his commitment to supporting rescue efforts."

    Grey Bull Rescue said LACFD had requested help with a "mission-critical gap" for internet. (Grey Bull Rescue)

    Grey Bull Rescue volunteers rely on Starlink internet for their missions "in some of the most communication-denied environments in the world," Stern said.

    Musk also donated numerous Starlinks in the western North Carolina region after Hurricane Helene in late September left thousands without power or internet for days, making it difficult for survivors to contact first responders and loved ones.

    "In addition to improving connectivity for first responders, the Grey Bull Rescue team has been on the ground since [day one] of the wildfires, working side by side with first responders to support them in the safe evacuation of residents and delivering critical humanitarian aid," the Grey Bull Rescue chair explained.

    "In moments like these, every action and every minute counts. We are committed to helping wherever we can, in any way we can, to assist those who have been impacted by this catastrophic disaster."

    The wildfires that have been burning for a week in Southern California have reduced entire neighborhoods to ash and killed at least 24 people. The Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and the Hurst Fire were the three active wildfires in L.A. County as of Monday.

    Thank you for your suggestions, Hawk.
    I was able secure a complete set - including JD's photo, the program and also two tickets, from "the" online auction site.
    I'll be buying more over the next few weeks, after the inauguration, when prices will come down.

    TikTok went dark for users across the U.S. late Saturday as the app notified users of a ban that went into effect just days before President-elect Trump's inauguration.  

    Users who tried to utilize the app on Saturday night received the following message: "Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now." 

    The app gave a shout-out to Trump, saying: "We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" 

    Hours earlier, the app notified users that the law banning TikTok would take effect on Sunday.

    Leadership noted the ban will "force" the company to make its services "temporarily unavailable."

    "We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support," the statement read. "Please stay tuned."

    The social media platform said it would "go dark" on Sunday without a "definitive" statement from the Biden administration.

    "The statements issued today by both the Biden White House and the Department of Justice have failed to provide the necessary clarity and assurance to the service providers that are integral to maintaining TikTok's availability to over 170 million Americans," TikTok said in a statement posted to X.

    The White House said this week Biden didn’t plan to enforce the ban, that it would be up to Trump, who takes office Monday. 

    The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday upheld the bipartisan law passed last year banning TikTok unless its Chinese-owned company ByteDance sells it by Sunday, citing national security risks because of its ties to China, Fox News Digital reported.

    Trump said he needed to "review" the ban before making a decision, and that he would "most likely" give TikTok a 90-day extension from the Jan. 19 deadline after he takes office.

    TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew thanked Trump in a video on Friday for his "commitment to work with us to find a solution that keeps TikTok available in the United States. This is a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship."

    During the presidential campaign, Trump said he would "never ban TikTok" after joining the platform, but led the calls for the ban during his first term in office.

    Happy Days Are Here Again! Figure out the source.

    Aaron Zitner and Xavier Martinez of the Wall Street Journal reported today on a new Wall Street Journal poll revealing that American voters want what they call “MAGA lite, rather than extra-strength MAGA.” More than 60% oppose Trump’s plan to replace nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists. More than 60% also oppose Trump’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education. Almost 75% of voters oppose his plans for sweeping deportation raids, wanting only those with criminal records to be removed from the country. More than two thirds oppose calls to take control of Greenland, and only 46% approve of his choices for cabinet positions.
