TikTok Social Media Platform Scheduled to Go Dark in USA Sunday


Posted originally on the CTH on January 18, 2025 | Sundance 

TikTok CEO Shou Chew has been in several meetings with President-Elect Donald Trump to discuss the fate of the platform. 170 million American users are engaged on the TikTok social media platform. There is some rather significant gamesmanship afoot as things come to a head.

The U.S. legislative branch created a law banning TikTok if Chinese interests retained ownership. Joe Biden signed the law, and the Supreme Court delivered a final “per curium” opinion [SEE HERE] saying the law did not violate any constitutional limitations about government control on speech.

TikTok has not negotiated a deal to sell the platform to a non-Chinese entity. In an effort to soften the political backlash from angered domestic users of the platform, Joe Biden has attempted to hand the TikTok controversy to President Trump by saying the U.S. government (DOJ, SEC, Etc.) would not enforce the fines and accountability measures within the law.

On Friday TikTok CEO Sou Chew thanked President Trump for his support. Hours later TikTok announced it would go dark on Sunday. “Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19.”

Is TikTok actually going to shut down or is Sou Chew playing the role of ‘Sad Panda’ creating a highly public optic that presents President Trump as saving the platform.  Because we are essentially dealing with the Beijing mindset here, the latter is a strong possibility.

President-elect Trump said he will work something out.  TikTok CEO Shou Chew will be attending the inauguration on Monday.

There’s something very Art of The Deal-ish afoot!

Citing “Weather Concerns” President Trump Announces Inauguration Ceremony Moved Inside Capitol Rotunda


Posted originally on the CTH on January 17, 2025 | Sundance

Citing concerns with “cold weather,” nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say-no- more / say-no-more, President Trump announces via Truth Social that his swearing in and inauguration speech will now be moved inside and take place in the Capitol rotunda.

Truth Social – “January 20th cannot come fast enough! Everybody, even those that initially opposed a Victory by President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration, just want it to happen. It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself.

The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!).

Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather. The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!

We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.

All other events will remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, on Sunday at 3 P.M. (Doors open at 1 P.M.—Please arrive early!), and all three Inaugural Balls on Monday evening.

Everyone will be safe, everyone will be happy, and we will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” [LINK]

We are not privy to, nor should we speculate about, the security threat matrix that President Trump is now facing.  Suffice to say, having survived two assassination attempts and with the overwhelming concern of the American electorate already visible online, I strongly doubt anyone is disappointed with this decision.

We want President Trump safe.  We know there are no limits to the severity of the opposition he is facing.  There are literally trillions at stake, and the media has painted President Trump as a “threat to democracy” for multiple years, reaching a fevered pitch during the campaign season.

I don’t care if it is a simulcast event from a secure bunker somewhere, just keep the weirdos away, and keep President Donald J. Trump safe.

Whatever it takes!  Just keep him safe!

WASHINGTON DC – Donald Trump and JD Vance will be sworn in to office inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday — instead of outside the Capitol — as Washington, D.C. braces for dangerously cold temperatures, the president-elect posted on Truth Social.

The entire inauguration ceremony, including prayers and speeches, will move indoors. The last time cold weather scuttled the outdoor inauguration ceremony was in 1985 when Ronald Reagan was sworn into his second term. James Monroe’s second inauguration was also held inside the Capitol, in the House chamber, because of a snowstorm.

The National Weather Service is projecting sunny weather at the National Mall on Monday, with a high of around 23 degrees. (more)

DHS Nominee Kristi Noem Senate Confirmation Hearing – 9:00am EST Livestream


Posted originally on the CTH on January 17, 2025 | Sundance 

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will appear before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today as part of the confirmation process for her nomination to Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary.  This nomination hearing will likely be combative and filled with opposition.

The original hearing for Noem was postponed due to “paperwork issues.”  Democrats now will advance against Noem because the DHS role is critical to border insecurity.  However, with President Trump appointing Border Czar Tom Homan to the border and illegal alien crisis, Noem has a point of support but not direct action in her responses.  Noem has previously held a very strong pro-immigration perspective given her deep connection to Big Ag.

The Democrats will likely shift to issues of ‘national security’ in their pointed questions.  However, these are also the types of national security issues that Noem has a tendency to frame around constitutional freedoms, liberties, and restrictions against the rights of Americans. Points that are directly in her wheelhouse.  The Democrat Senators would also like to weaponize the controversial parts of Noem’s recent book.  Livestream Links Below:

Speaker Mike Johnson Selects Arkansas Rep Rick Crawford to Chair Powerful House Intel Committee


Posted originally on the CTH on January 17, 2025 | Sundance

Making the announcement Thursday, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced Arkansas Republican Representative Rick Crawford would be the new Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).

As chair of HPSCI the position automatically elevates Rick Crawford onto the Gang of Eight, the legislative group that holds information within the legislative branch at the same level of information as the President.  Crawford now joins Mike Johnson, Tom Cotton and John Thune as the four republicans on the intelligence Gang of Eight.

Because of both the power and sensitivity of the HPSCI Chair position, the appointment comes directly from the Speaker of the House with no other member input.  Crawford is Johnson’s personal selection.

Additionally, Johnson announced the following members are added to the House intel committee: Ben Cline (Va.), Pat Fallon (Texas), Greg Steube (Fla.), Claudia Tenney (N.Y.) and Ann Wagner (Mo.).  Overall, a larger MAGA alignment on this very key intelligence committee.

WASHINGTON DC – […] The sea change on the panel is already triggering intense backlash from some Republicans on the committee and across the conference, who worry it’s a warning sign about the House’s willingness to stay independent of Trump. That’s to say nothing of Democrats, who fear the return of the partisan warfare that wracked the panel during Trump’s first term.

Unlike Turner, who has been an outspoken advocate for Ukraine funding and other muscular national security stances, Crawford is much more America First in his outlook. He opposed aid to Ukraine last year and was the only member of the Arkansas congressional delegation to oppose the certification of President Joe Biden’s electoral win in 2021.

Crawford is also seen as a team player for the Trump cause. He gave up his Intelligence seat for a time to Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), a veteran partisan brawler, in the runup to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 so Republicans would have more firepower during televised hearings. He said at the time he wanted to “ensure the American people hear the full truth” amid allegations that Trump threatened to hold up military aid to Ukraine in exchange for political dirt on his political opponents. (read more)

We are all going to need to watch closely how the 2025 legislative membership position themselves against the backdrop of the larger Intelligence Community.  Crawford is a positive step; however, Crawford necessarily (to survive in the machine) has expressed his belief in the value of the FISA-702 authorities, so stay diligent.

Remember the example just yesterday with Mary McCord appearing before the Senate to undermine Pam Bondi.  Not a single Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee called out McCord; not one.  The absence of action tells us the Senate Republicans are still very afraid of the Intelligence Community (Six Ways to Sunday Group).

However, as a postscript to provide a cautious sense of optimism, I can confirm the lengthy information CTH provided yesterday about Mary McCord passed through the protective guardians around the president-elect, directly to the principal that matters.  That’s another good sign.

Be of good cheer and live your best life,

Stephen Miller Encapsulates Immediate Objectives of President Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on January 17, 2025 | Sundance

Incoming deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller is one of the most valuable people in the administration, perhaps only surpassed by Dan Scavino.  Mr Miller’s ability to collate and articulate actionable policy goals is exceptional.  “We cannot spare this man, he fights.”

In this recommended segment, Stephen Miller articulates the non-pretending reality of what the people around Joe Biden have done with horrific outcomes for our nation.  Then Miller quickly moves to articulate what exactly President Trump is going to do about it.  WATCH:
