5. Zuck Slams Biden on Joe Rogan’s Podcast... "Biden Officials Screamed and Cursed at Us to Censor Things That Were True"
President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced in New York on Jan. 10, more than six months after being found guilty by a Manhattan jury of falsifying business records. When speaking in court for the first time, he declared his innocence.
Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to unconditional release, which means he will not face any prison time or penalties. In handing down the sentence, Merchan noted that Trump is the president-elect and will soon take office.
Although Trump fought the sentencing in court, Merchan could have sentenced him to up to four years in prison.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said on Thursday night that a new blaze that has erupted in the city is being treated as a suspected arson case.
The Kenneth Fire in West Hills quickly grew in just a couple of hours to 1,000 acres and is 0% contained as fire officials work to put out several other fires in the city.
LAPD Senior Lead Officer Charles Dinsel told reporters: “What we know right now is that the incident occurred, started here [Victory Trailhead], and about 20-30 minutes later, a suspect was detained over Woodland Hills area by citizens.”
A large reservoir in Pacific Palisades that is part of the Los Angeles water supply system was out of use when a ferocious wildfire destroyed thousands of homes and other structures nearby.
Officials told The Times that the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117 million gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades.
The revelation comes among growing questions about why firefighters ran out of water while battling the blaze. Numerous fire hydrants in higher-elevation streets of the Palisades went dry, leaving firefighters struggling with low water pressure as they combated the flames.
Video captured at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) captured the earliest moments off the still-raging Palisades fire, showing just how quickly it grew into a massive blaze.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared by @airlinevideos footage via X, along with key details to watch for in the clip.
“NEW: My former @FOXLA colleague Kevin Horton captured video of the moment the #PalisadesFire first broke out on Tuesday morning. He runs @airlinevideos at LAX, where he has live cameras set up,” Melugin said.
Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan that the Biden administration tried to force him to censor a meme about the Covid-19 pandemic, and responded with a ‘brutal’ retaliation when he refused.
The Meta chief said in a surprise appearance on the popular podcast that the White House would ‘call up our team and scream at them and curse’ over social media memes.
‘Basically, it just got to this point where we were like no, we’re not going to take down things that are true,’ Zuckerberg said. ‘That’s ridiculous.’
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is terminating major DEI programs, effective immediately — including for hiring, training and picking suppliers, according to a new employee memo obtained by Axios.
The move is a strong signal to Meta employees that the company’s push to make inroads with the incoming Trump administration isn’t just posturing, but an ethos shift that will impact its business practices.
Meta said it was changing course because the “legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing,” per a memo by Janelle Gale, vice president of human resources.
England Hockey has banned men who identify as women from playing in the women’s category.
The field hockey governing body has seemingly created a clever workaround, implementing a “female” category and an “open” category but no category for men.
This effectively forces all biological men into the open division to ensure the women’s sport is unaffected.
The Vatican has approved new guidelines from Italian bishops that allow gay men to enter seminaries as long as they abstain from sex, in an unexpected adjustment to how the global Catholic Church considers possible future priests.
Although the Vatican had not explicitly barred gay men from entering the priesthood in the past, an earlier 2016 instruction had said seminaries cannot admit men who have “deep-seated homosexual tendencies”.
The new guidelines, posted without fanfare on the website of the Italian bishops’ conference on Thursday, say seminary directors should consider a priestly candidate’s sexual preferences, but only as one aspect of their personality.
