(01/19/25). TikTok Goes Dark.

The popular video-sharing app, used by 170 million Americans, went dark late Saturday after TikTok’s Chinese-owned parent company announced that they will make their services “temporarily unavailable.”

Shortly before 11 p.m., US users were greeted with a message that said: “Sorry TikTok isn’t available right now” and the site was otherwise unusable.

[KULPnews] Severe cold forces Trump inauguration indoors, first time in 40 years

WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (Reuters) - President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration will take place inside the U.S. Capitol on Monday rather than outdoors because of severe cold, the first time in 40 years that U.S. presidential inaugural ceremonies will be moved indoors.

"There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way," Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Friday.

"Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda," Trump added.

Others have expressed concern for the incoming President. "The biggest threat, I think for all of us, remains the lone actor," U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said in a press conference on inauguration security. "Just in the last week, while President Carter was lying in state, we had two lone actors show up at the Capitol."

Still others do not believe the FBI and the Secret Service are "up to the job".

(1/16/25/) BREAKING AT 8:45PM.

Biden decides not to enforce the looming TikTok ban — leaving the Chinese app’s fate up to Trump as he returns to the White House.

The official indicated that Biden, 82, has decided to pass the buck to President-elect Donald Trump, according to the Associated Press, leaving the implementation of the law targeting the Chinese-owned social media app up to the incoming administration.

The law, which cleared both chambers of Congress and was approved by the president last year, compels TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to divest itself from the social media app by Jan. 19 or face a US ban.

01/07/25 - Major Changes, Zuck says, no more big brother on his platforms.

Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, will get rid of fact-checking, end restrictions on discussions around immigration and gender, and allow more political posts in a series of sweeping changes.

Instead of paying organizations to fact-check posts, the social media giant will start to use a “community notes” system similar to that on Elon Musk-owned X.

In an Instagram video, the tech CEO claimed the changes would boost “free speech”, adding it would “make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms”.

Editor Note: We welcome this news. We were flagged by those 3rd Party fact-checkers on July 13 when we posted the Associated Press News Story on the attempt on Trump. The so-called fact-checkers said the story was "false information". Needless to say, we were deeply concerned about the legitimacy of Facebook. We will see if Mr Zuckerberg is a man of his word.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100

ATLANTA (AP) — Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer who won the presidency in the wake of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian, has died. He was 100 years old.

The longest-lived American president died on Sunday, more than a year after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who died at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said.
