🚨 TIKTOK USERS BANNED IN THE US STARTING JANUARY 19

US users are now getting a message "TikTok isn't available right now" when trying to access the Chinese-based social media platform.

A law was signed by President Joe Biden in April 2024, that required TikTok's China-based parent company, ByteDance, to divest from TikTok or face a ban in the U.S. This law, known as the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACA), was upheld by the Supreme Court, with the ban set to take effect on January 19, 2025.

At midnight tonight, it will become ILLEGAL for any company to distribute, maintain or update TikTok.

🚨 Seattle Councilwoman Alexis Mercedes Rinck political Facebook account scrubbed removing ALL pictures and posts associated with her endorsement from the Stranger after an alleged sexual encounter surfaces between her and its former editor. She was a candidate for the Seattle Council when the editor was let go and now two of the Stanger's journalists are on ad leave allegedly complicit in the cover up.

The Lynnwood Times took snapshots of the CMs political Facebook account tonight which is public record and when we went to continue looking through her account tonight the posts of all of CM Rink's endorsements and that from the Stanger are no longer there.

CM Rinck what are you hiding? Was this sex-for-play? You can't hide and Seattleites demand answers.

🚨ALLEGATIONS OF S*X, AN ENDORSEMENT, AND A COVERUP BY THE STRANGER'S JOURNALIST.

Seattle Councilwoman Alexis Mercedes Rinck using all her "ASS"ets!

The Stranger’s news editor and the head of its endorsement board, Rich Smith, allegedly hooked up with Alexis Mercedes Rinck, who was then a candidate for Seattle City Council. The Stranger later endorsed Rinck, see below. Smith is no longer with the Stranger.

It is unethical for staff at newspapers to have romantic relations with people they report on, especially if they are going to endorse them politically; it poses a serious conflict of interest.

To make matters worse, two of the Stranger's reporters—Ashley Nerbovig and Hannah Krieg—may have been complicit in hiding this from the public, robbing Seattleites of making a fully informed decision...election interference anyone?

Hannah Krieg is no "stranger" to Lynnwood politics. She once wrote an article defending Councilman Binda's actions and against his recall effort called, "Versace, Ni***es, and a Promo Shoot: Lynnwood Republicans Throw the Book at Black Progressive Council Member, Launch Recall Attempt."

Lots of questions on journalistic integrity...

Owners of the Stranger Noisy Creek, announce that both Nerbovig and Krieg have “been placed on paid leave."

🚨 US SENATE’S VERSION OF LAKEN RILEY ACT ADVANCES, VOTE COULD COME NEXT WEEK

S. 5, the US Senate’s version of the Laken Riley Act, cleared a key procedural hurdle on Friday with a vote of 61-35, with 10 Democrats voting with Republicans.

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) who have been arrested for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also authorizes states to sue the federal government for decisions or alleged failures related to immigration enforcement.

The US House passed its version—HR 29—on January 7, 2024, with a vote of 264-159, with 48 Democrats supporting it alongside all voting Republicans.

Both bills require ICE to detain illegal immigrants for theft-related crimes, however, the House version allows state attorneys general to sue the federal government over perceived failures in immigration enforcement, whereas the Senate’s version allows state AGs to take legal action against the federal government for not enforcing immigration laws.

Senator Christopher A. C***s (D-DE) attempted to remove the provision allowing state AGs to challenge federal enforcement in the Laken Riley Act, however that attempt failed.

If the Senate’s version passes, a conference committee of both chambers would need to reconcile both the House and Senate’s bill for a final passage before being signed into law by President Donald J Trump.

Laken Riley, 22, was killed in 2024 year while she was out for a run. Her killer was an undocumented Venezuelan man who had a history of shoplifting.

Below is the Senate roll call vote:
