TikTok Cra-Zee!

A 19-year-old TikTok fan has been arrested in connection with a case of arson at the Fond du Lac office of U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican. Grothman was among the Congressional representatives who voted in favor of banning TikTok if the social media platform remained under the control of a Communist Chinese company.

The arrested man has yet to be identified, but reportedly hails from the city of Menasha, just south of Appleton. Fond du Lac police said the man “admitted to starting the fire in response to recent talks of a TikTok Ban.” Here’s more from The Salty Cracker.

TikTok Given A Reprieve

Incoming President Donald Trump has issued a reprieve for TikTok, the embattled social media platform blackballed by the Joe Biden administration owing to its Communist Chinese ownership.

It’s not clear yet if TikTok is out of the woods for good, but Trump has temporarily lifted the outright ban that the censor-minded Biden had endorsed. We’ll have to wait to see if Trump is proposing the Chinese can keep the platform afloat, or if he’s just providing more time for them to find an American buyer. Here’s more from The Quartering.

The TikTok demonstrates just how fully American lawmakers are out of touch with their constituents. Not only will this ban be a direct assault on the American Bill of Rights, but it would put hundreds of thousands of workers — if not millions — out of jobs. This at a time of great economic uncertainty and upheaval.

If these lawmakers want to keep Communist China from dabbling in American affairs, why haven’t they banned farm or land purchases by the Chinese? Why this particular ban from the miserable Joe Biden and his pathetic and autocratic party? Here’s more from Really Graceful.

Will Trump Pardon NYC Mayor?

Roger Stone is joined by Slingshot News Editor-in-Chief Troy Smith and former NYPD officer Sal Greco to discuss the comprehensive campaign by New York City Mayor Eric Adams to get a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Stone points out that claims by some Republicans that Adams has been singled out for prosecution for political reasons because of his alleged opposition to Joe Biden’s open border policies is false. In fact, Adams ran for mayor as a strong supporter of New York being a sanctuary city and said on many occasions that illegals would always be welcome in New York State.

Stone said the crimes Adams is accused of are not trivial. It’s alleged that he took over $100,000 illegally from Turkish interests and funneled it through straw donors into New York City’s campaign finance matching fund program where he stole $800,000 from taxpayers. More from the StoneZone.

Trump Blames Gov. ‘Newscum’

President Trump is placing all the blame on Gov. Gavin “Newscum” for the outbreak of the Southern California fires.

Bill O’Reilly reports that Trump harkened back to 2014 when the California Legislature OK’d the construction of seven water-storage plants. None of them have been built, creating a shortage of facilities to store water in a drought-ridden state. Add to that the state’s insane ecosystem guidelines, the looney environmentalists and the slicing of the LA fire department budget by $17 million and you have yourself a major problem.

“I know that California is the most mismanaged state in the Union, New York is second and Illinois is third,” O’Reilly said. “Catastrophe is not an exaggeration.” He explains further, plus also shares his thoughts on the Jimmy Carter funeral.
