Breitbart: Youngkin Orders Flags to Be Flown at Full-Staff for Trump's Inauguration
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has ordered state flags to be flown at full-staff for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025, in accordance with federal law. Following the inauguration, flags will be lowered to half-staff to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away in December.
Youngkin's decision aligns with similar announcements from governors in Iowa, Texas, and Florida regarding Trump's inauguration. President Biden previously ordered flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days in memory of Carter.
Breitbart: 'Hot in Herre’ Rap Star Nelly to Perform at Trump Inauguration Liberty Ball
Rapper Nelly will perform at one of President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural balls, as confirmed by the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee. Carrie Underwood is set to sing "America the Beautiful" at the swearing-in ceremony, while The Village People will also perform at inaugural events.
Trump will attend a Make America Great Again Victory Rally in D.C. on January 19, featuring musical guests Kid Rock, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Liberty University’s Praise Choir. Multiple balls and events are planned around the inauguration.
The Economist: The beginning of the end of the Trump era
Donald Trump's second inauguration contrasts sharply with his first, taking place indoors due to frigid temperatures, a first in 40 years. The event reflects significant changes in the political landscape and Trump's evolving acceptance.
As the new administration takes shape, it hints at a blend of Trump's original agenda with a more moderate approach. Concerns about a "tech-industrial complex" and ongoing debates on issues like TikTok illustrate the complexities ahead.

GB News: British Airways passengers slapped with £4,000 bill after being left stranded in the Caribbean - 'It beggars belief!'
A British couple in their 60s, Pauline Hope and Michael Cole, were removed from their British Airways flight in St Lucia despite having medical clearance to fly. Stranded without local currency or accommodation, they faced a costly ordeal, spending £4,000 on alternative travel arrangements after being left on the tarmac.
Despite submitting evidence for compensation, British Airways has refused to reimburse the couple for flight costs, only offering to refund their holiday package. The ongoing dispute has severely impacted Pauline's health, leading her to seek medical attention for stress.

The Telegraph: Trump’s self-interest could bring Middle East peace
A ceasefire in Gaza has been established, but past conflicts suggest it may be temporary. The recent war has altered regional dynamics, weakening Hamas and Hezbollah while fostering a desire for stability among neighboring countries.
Challenges remain, including whether Hamas will adhere to the ceasefire and how Gaza's reconstruction will be funded. Israel's approach to Palestinian governance will be crucial, as will Prime Minister Netanyahu's political calculations, which may influence future relations with regional powers.

The Telegraph: Israel-Hamas ceasefire is not enough to end Britain’s inflation nightmare
This week marks significant events with Donald Trump's return to the White House and a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. If this ceasefire leads to lasting peace, it would be a major humanitarian achievement, overshadowing economic concerns.
However, the economic implications, particularly regarding oil prices, are crucial. Recent increases in Brent crude prices, now above $82 per barrel, are driven by fears over US sanctions on Russia, not Middle Eastern tensions. The future of oil markets will hinge on the dynamics between Israel, the US, and Iran under Trump's administration.
Breitbart: Millionaires Flee UK in Record Numbers Since Left-Wing Labour's Election Win
Record numbers of British millionaires are leaving the UK, with a 150% increase in departures since the Labour Party's election win. Concerns are mounting over Labour's plans to impose punitive taxes, including the removal of the non-domiciled tax regime, which is expected to drive more wealthy individuals abroad.
In 2024, approximately 10,800 individuals with over $1 million in assets departed, including 78 centi-millionaires and 12 billionaires. Many are relocating to countries like Switzerland and the UAE, prompting warnings that such policies could harm the economy and lead to significant losses in investment and tax revenue.

Breitbart: Failure to Record Ethnicity of Criminals Soars Among British Police Forces
British police have been criticized for not recording the ethnicity of offenders, with the failure rate reaching record highs. Data shows that in 2023, police did not log the ethnicity of 29% of sex crime offenders and over a third of murder and assault cases, raising concerns about political correctness influencing these omissions.
Former Tory minister Neil O’Brien and shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick have called for greater transparency, arguing that the lack of data fuels perceptions of a cover-up regarding migrant criminality. They emphasize the need for comprehensive reporting on the ethnicity and nationality of convicted criminals to understand the impact of migration.
