At a little past noon on Wednesday, January 20, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Donald Trump is expected to quietly slip out of Washington shortly before the event for his last flight on Air Force One. As a final presidential wish, Trump asked for a departure ceremony, complete with military honor guard, a red carpet, and a 21-gun salute. His critics may feel that he deserves something closer to a firing squad.

Nous profitons de la passation de pouvoir aujourd’hui pour analyser en détail les raisons de la défaite en 2020 de Donald Trump.

For all those folks working-at-home, or the millions of unemployed, living off of not-ready-to-eat food, such as Nestlé’s ubiquitous Hot Pockets, listen up: the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) published a warning late last week recalling millions of pepperoni Hot Pockets over concerns they may be contaminated with foreign objects.

An independent panel says China and the World Health Organization (WHO) failed to act quickly to contain COVID-19 at the beginning of the outbreak, according to a Monday report.

The Switzerland-based Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness concluded that Beijing should have acted with greater urgency in applying public health measures as the new pneumonia-like illness swept through Wuhan, in Hubei Province.

President-elect Joe Biden finalized his Cabinet picks on Thursday, naming US Appeals Court Judge Merrick Garland as the US attorney general, Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo as secretary of commerce, and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh as secretary of labor. 

Chief among Biden’s challenges once he takes over the White House will be rebuilding the various federal agencies ravaged by the Trump presidency. 

After 4 years in office, President Trump is releasing his farewell remarks on Tuesday, as he prepares to hand power over to Joe Biden.

Trump has opted not to participate in the inauguration ceremony, and instead of the usual pageantry, Joe Biden is reportedly planning to deliver an address roughly 20-30 minutes in length, focusing on the theme of unity.

At one point, in our short lived “identitarian left” Facebook group, an admin started to expel people one after another, for aberrant reasons. I intervened: “This group became a sort of “zece negri mititei” (“ten little blacks”) – people are being expelled one after another.” Terrible anger and indignant reactions followed my unfortunate remark. It took me a while to understand why. I had used a racist expression, so logically, I was a racist – therefore I was being treated as a certified black oppressor in exercise.

Leaning left became lately a required badge for a part of the young Romanian generation. One would say it’s a breath of fresh air, after decades of demonising left-wing politics and identifying it with the worst political sins.

As impeachment moves to the Senate, and on Trump’s penultimate day as president, (still) Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may have just showed his truest colors yet as he addressed the floor claiming that “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.”

NEWS ANALYSIS

The final countdown has begun, but the military is worried about what Donald Trump and his followers might do to cling to power. Trumpists have called for a “Million Militia March” on Washington and state capitols to prevent Biden’s inauguration and — some even imagine — trigger a civil war.

Finkelstein comments: I have a long-time correspondent who is a British expat currently residing in Southeast Asia.  He’s bumptious, cantankerous, and as politically incorrect as they come.

Journalists Prepare for Protests Where They Could Be Targets (Reader Steve)

The author writes, “While monitoring online chatter about protests at state capitols in advance of next week’s presidential inauguration, the Seattle Times came across a chilling description for journalists: soft targets.

A new viral video calling on liberals to form “an army of citizen detectives” to gather information on Trump supporters and report their activities to the authorities has racked up thousands of shares and millions of views in just a few hours.

The back and forth between the outgoing and incoming administrations is approaching peak humor levels.

Late on Monday, the Trump admin announced plans to lift airline travel bans that kept most visitors from Europe, the United Kingdom and Brazil away since last spring, when President Trump imposed bans on those countries as part of his administration’s initial response to the coronavirus pandemic.

As the suspected death toll attributed to COVID-19 vaccines rises around the world, with dozens already reported in the US and Norway, California health officials have asked health-care providers in the state to immediately stop administering a batch of Moderna COVID-19 jabs after an “unusually high number” of adverse reactions were linked to it.

“It was a non-event today and we are glad it was.”

That’s how Troy Thompson, spokesman for the Department of General Services – the agency that protects the Pennsylvania Capitol in Harrisburg, described yesterday’s mass national armed protest “domestic terrorism” event that the mainstream media (and various government agencies) has been “warning” ‘good’ Americans about all week.

Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson is the latest in a long line of public figures pushing for a last-minute pardon for Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange. In a TV interview with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on “Good Morning Britain” earlier today, the Canadian-American actress claimed that she was in the president’s ear, and that, “It would be a perfect way” for Trump to go out. “I hope he makes that decision because I think that will add a positive to his legacy,” she added, appealing directly to the president’s emotions.

In today’s video, we delve into the paranoia being put out by the national security state and the mainstream media in the lead-up to Inauguration Day.

Earlier this month, Donald Trump and 70,000 of his supporters were wiped off of Facebook and Twitter in a coordinated move by big tech censors.

The Hacker Who Archived Parler Explains How They Did It (Judy)

From Vice: “With Twitter’s permanent ban of Donald Trump and tens of thousands of QAnon-linked accounts following the Capitol takeover on Wednesday, many of Trump’s followers planned to make a new home on Parler.

Multiple anti-lockdown demonstrations were observed in Europe over the weekend. The largest one was seen in the Austrian capital, Vienna, Saturday, where at least 10,000 people marched against new coronavirus restrictions. Then thousands more were seen in Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ capital, denouncing new restrictive measures against their freedoms imposed by the government.

Alyne Tamir calls it “fake news” that she’s Israeli. But she’s the one who said it.

Without Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the United States would certainly look different than it does today. Yet, in spite of being one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century and helping the US become more just, much of the shameful injustice that his country has perpetrated is still with us, and what the government did to him remains hidden.

Armed protesters have arrived at multiple state capitol complexes across the country Sunday. This follows a special bulletin from the FBI last week that warned: “armed protests” were being planned at 50 state capitols and the US Capitol in Washington, DC, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

While Donald Trump was preparing to scuttle out of Washington a few hours before Joe Biden’s inauguration, Uganda’s 76-year-old President Yoweri Museveni was touting his election victory and a seventh term in office.  

President-elect Joe Biden will ‘immediately’ send a legislative package to Congress which would provide a pathway to citizenship for some 11 million illegal immigrants, according to the Los Angeles Times, according to “immigrants rights activists in communication with the Biden-Harris transition team.”

On Friday morning, someone stole an armored military Humvee from a National Guard facility in Los Angeles, California.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the Humvee is a combat vehicle with advanced armor.

The bureau is offering a $10k reward for information leading to the recovery of the Humvee, the FBI tweeted Saturday.

China’s battle with increasing coronavirus caseloads hitting ten-month highs has undoubtedly clouded the economic recovery while officials have lockdown more than 28 million people across multiple municipalities, reported Reuters.

Billionaire Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, chairman of the iconic Edmond de Rothschild Holding and the 22nd richest man in France with a net worth of €4.3 billion, has died at 57.
