HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING:

Soon you will hear the lamentations of their womyn.

I DUNNO, THERE ARE STILL NEARLY TWO HOURS LEFT: Dear Joe: NOW Are You Done Breaking the Country?

Did you ever have to deal with the last guy to leave the party who wouldn’t take the hint that the fun ended an hour ago and he’s the only reason you aren’t in bed already, sleeping it off? You finally maneuvered him to the front door, the Uber is honking in the driveway, but he won’t wrap up the 12″ extended dance mix of “Goodnight!” and leave.

Presidentish Joe Biden has been on his way out the door since June, and that sound you hear outside is an Uber driver at the absolute end of his patience.

One empathizes.

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN: Facing Trump’s mass deportation plans, some sanctuary cities shift their tone.

Leaders of several sanctuary cities where officials had prominently rejected Donald Trump’s first-term immigration policies are shifting their tone as he prepares to take office again and carry out his mass deportation plans.

Some local officials have softened on how closely they want their cities to be identified with the “sanctuary city” label and have pledged to work with federal immigration authorities. But others have doubled down on their cities being sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants and reject any notion that they’d cooperate with a Trump administration seeking to deport millions of them.

The mixed approaches of officials in some of the largest and heavily Democratic cities in the U.S. underscore the country’s shifting politics on immigration. While leaders in these cities largely — and often loudly — rejected Trump’s immigration policies when he was last in the White House, some are now willing to work more closely with his administration on a top priority or tamp down their rhetoric.

Resistance is futile.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Never Mind the Weather — It’s a Bright and Sunny Day for America. “Liberty is once again on the menu and Trump has promised to serve up generous portions of it to a grateful nation. Well, the sane people are grateful, anyway. Those who aren’t celebrating his return to office are too slow to realize that they will also benefit from having a real president again”

THE OPERATING ASSUMPTION SHOULD BE THAT EVERYTHING IN GAZA THAT ISN’T HAMAS IS ACTUALLY HAMAS:

THE LEFT’S WAR ON WOMEN (CONT’D): Female inmates say they fear transgender cellmates and urge Donald Trump to overturn ‘unconstitutional policy.’

Rhonda Fleming, 58, who is a little more than halfway through a 27-year sentence for Medicare fraud, argues that she and other biological women live in constant fear of attack and stress over having to interact with and undress in front of inmates with male genitalia.

Fleming’s civil suit stated women shouldn’t be forced to share intimate spaces such as bathrooms, showers and dorms with trans women.

But the judge on the case didn’t agree, ruling against her complaint on Wednesday.

Fleming was outraged when she spoke to DailyMail.com and said: ‘What the judge did Wednesday was a farce, it was a mockery of justice. He never intended for us to have a fair trial.

‘It’s like he’s attacking the victim, telling the victim you’re in the wrong, not the victimizer.’

The inmate is hoping that Trump will change the Bureau of Prisons policy after he moves into the White House on Monday – and possibly appeal her case.

‘Trump tried to help in 2018 by changing the policy when I initially filed on this, but as soon as he was out of office, Biden overturned everything he did and brought even more men into the prison,’ she said.

It’s an open question whether Biden knew he overturned anything. It’ll be nice knowing who’s making the decisions again.

WELL, GOOD: U.K. announces new inquiries into decade-old cases of child sexual grooming after pressure sparked by Elon Musk tweet. “Britain’s Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced Thursday that there would be a number of new central government-backed local inquiries into years-old allegations of child grooming gangs, weeks after Elon Musk accused British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of failings in relation to the handling of the crimes in a series of tweets. The crimes took place a decade ago when Starmer was the country’s top prosecutor.”

Still, it feels a bit like the fox investigating who raided the henhouse.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Sorry, WAY Wrong Number. “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news and this week we have one NSFW former sheriff’s deputy, the worst wrong number to dial, and a mystery woman’s MRI gone horribly wrong.”

COMPLEXITY: Nine Months And GM Can’t Supply A Bumper. “Now, it’s tempting to think this is yet another result of the Flu Manchu supply chain disruption. And it might be. But something else is at play here: The drive to make new cars ‘smarter’ (and thus more expensive). The Lyriq uses ‘multiple ultrasonic sensors located on your front and rear bumpers.’ The more smart components the car has, the more fragile the supply chain and the easier to break.”

NARRATOR: THE MARCHES WERE NEVER ABOUT A CEASEFIRE AND WERE ALWAYS ABOUT INTIMIDATING JEWS.

COLD WAR II: Chinese hackers accessed Yellen’s computer in US Treasury breach. “The hack, what the Treasury called a “major incident”, happened in December when Chinese state-sponsored hackers breached the department’s computer security guardrails by compromising third-party cybersecurity service provider BeyondTrust, according to Treasury officials.”

MANDATES ARE DUMB: And Suddenly, Gavin Newsom’s Electric Car Mandate Looks Pretty Dumb to LA Fire Victims “No mocking these poor folks, America, because this Caltastrophe may have bought more time for the rest of the country to shout down the climate cultists in state houses across the country. California’s proof of concept showed that climate nirvana doesn’t protect the environment for humans.”

I’m OK with more mocking.
