#10 Supreme Court Rules It's Illegal For National Guard To Guard Nation :) - The Babylon Bee
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that it's now illegal for the Texas National Guard to guard Texas or the nation. As a result of the ruling, Texas is being ordered to open its border completely and let millions of people flood the state and the rest of the country until everything Americans hold dear is left a smoldering ruin. "It's the compassionate thing to do," said Jackson.#9 Yale and U.S. News and World Report - Walter E. Block for UncoverDC
Yale Law School has for many years ranked #1 in the highly respected categorization of the U.S. News and World Report. Yet, they have spear-headed an effort, subsequently taken up by numerous other prestigious law schools, to no longer cooperate with this organization. Yale refuses to continue to supply USN with information about its organization, which supports this rating system. Why? Several hypotheses might explain this decision of theirs...#8 House Panel Investigating Capitol Riot Wants Access to Files Deleted Before GOP Took Control - Josh Christenson for the New York Post
A House subcommittee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot is trying to recover 117 encrypted files that the now-disbanded House Select Jan. 6 Committee deleted before Republicans took the majority last year. A digital forensics team employed by the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight discovered the data deletion occurred on Jan. 1, 2023, and were able to recover the password-protected files. The find was first reported by Fox News. “Yes, these reports are accurate,” Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.), who sits on the subcommittee, confirmed to The Post. “Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot determine what was in the deleted files.”
#7 Five Whistleblowers Expose Covert Operation to Brainwash Christian Grassroots in Effort to Destroy Michigan GOP - Scott McMahan for Bigger Truth Media
Five whistleblowers with extensive direct experience with ousted Michigan Republican Party (MIGOP) Chair Kristina Karamo have gone on the record with Bigger Truth Media to expose the covert operator with self-professed ties to the National Intelligence Community (IC) who has systematically brainwashed Karamo and every member of her inner circle within MIGOP. This operator, Mike Labadie, who was a registered Democrat in California in 2016, has engaged in a plan that appears to have begun in 2017 or even earlier to raise up a previously unknown Christian conservative, bring her under his complete and domineering control, and make her into a powerful political figure who would ignite the imaginations of the conservative grassroots. He then caused her to brainwash hundreds of grassroots GOP delegates throughout the state into absolute, unquestioning support as they helped her to make the party into an ideological dictatorship at war with itself while deliberately bankrupting the party and embroiling it in legal troubles. All just in time for the 2024 elections...
#6 This Bloodthirsty Venezuelan Gang Has Caused Havoc in Latin America. Now it’s in Miami - Antonio Maria Delgado for The Miami Herald
A Venezuelan criminal gang that for the past few years has been extending its operations and causing havoc throughout Latin America has made an appearance in South Florida, police say, claiming that at least one of its members was involved in a recent Miami murder. José Luis Sánchez Valera, a 43-year-old retired Venezuelan police officer who lived in Doral, was lured by women into a hotel room in Miami in late November and killed after he was abducted in the parking lot. Yurwin Salazar, 23, a Venezuelan immigrant who lives in South Florida, has been charged with the murder...
#5 Peter Schiff: The Dark Ages For US Housing And Manufacturing - Tyler Durden for Zero Hedge
The president touted a manufacturing renaissance. However, economic indices show US manufacturing entering a Dark Age. Home sales are not looking bright, either.
Peter explains in his recent podcast that manufacturing is a complete disaster. In fact, we got the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index later in the week. This was supposed to be -6.7. It came out at -1.6. And the prior month (which was originally reported as -10.5) was revised to -12.8.”

#4 Andrew Bridgen Bravely Confronts Excess Death Statistics in UK Hearing - Steven Middendorp for The HighWire
The UK Parliament debated excess death trends on Tuesday, Jan 16. Andrew Bridgen, a member of the British Parliament with a degree in biological sciences, led the discussion and described the alarming numbers of excess deaths in Britain since the beginning of the pandemic. Other parliament members pushed back on the notion that the mRNA vaccines could have caused the trend but offered no reasonable alternatives to describe the continued increase in excess deaths. A couple of the parliament members suggested COVID-19, cardiovascular problems, and potentially lockdown protocols could contribute to the statistic...
#3 U.S. Supreme Court Says Texas Can’t Block Federal Agents From the Border - William Melhado for The Texas Tribune
The high court’s order effectively maintains long-running precedent that the federal government — not individual states — has authority to enforce border security. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered Texas to allow federal border agents access to the state’s border with Mexico, where Texas officials have deployed miles of concertina wire.The order did not explain justices’ decisions. For now, it effectively upholds longstanding court rulings that the Constitution gives the federal government sole responsibility for border security...
#2 Joe Biden Thumbs Nose at Catholic Church in Election Year - Thomas D. Williams, PH.D. for Breitbart
ROME — U.S. President Joe Biden has doubled down on positions antithetical to his Catholic faith as he prepares to run for reelection. On January 22, as Catholics and other pro-lifers prayed for an end to abortion in America, President Biden called on Congress to pass a law imposing abortion-on-demand in all 50 states. “Congress must codify Roe v. Wade for all the states in America,” Biden said in a video message released on X (former Twitter).“Stop playing politics with women’s lives and freedom,” he exhorted. “Let doctors do their job. “Since the Court overturned Roe v. Wade, every single time reproductive freedom has been on the ballot, voters chose to protect access to abortion,” he added in a written text. “It’s time their representatives listened to them.” After 14 months of acrimonious comments from Donald Trump directed at Ron DeSantis, the healing has begun after the Governor left the 2024 race. But while the insults appear to be as much a thing of the past as the Never Back Down bus, the former President isn’t rushing to find a place for DeSantis in his future White House. Asked if DeSantis could be part of the Trump administration as Vice President or as a Cabinet member, Trump appeared to deflect. “He hasn’t asked for any of those,” Trump told Lawrence Jones on “Fox & Friends.” Asked about the possibility of “joining forces,” Trump said that it’s “probably unlikely.”

And Now for Something Special
An Indian teen who is a self-confessed ‘nerd’ who loves robotics, also loved his grandmother Jayasree dearly. Together, they led him to create a new invention that could greatly improve care for Alzheimer’s patients. Jayasree was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s the year before, and in 2023 passed away from the delibating neurodegenerative disease.
By then, Hemesh had invented the Alpha Monitor, a badge-like monitoring device that sends out alerts if the person wearing it wanders off or falls.
