Breitbart: Blue State Blues: Happy January 6th to Those Who Celebrate
On January 6, 2025, Congress will certify the results of the 2024 presidential election, confirming Donald Trump's victory. Vice President Kamala Harris will have a ceremonial role, and Democrats will face the irony of endorsing a process they previously condemned.
Despite potential objections and attempts to declare Trump ineligible, these efforts are expected to fail. Republicans are prepared to secure the Capitol, contrasting the events of January 6, 2021, which highlighted deep political mistrust. The day will ultimately be seen as a normal transition of power.
Breitbart: Biden Moves to Permanently Foil Trump, Ban Offshore Drilling in Some U.S. Waters
President Joe Biden plans to implement a permanent ban on new oil and gas drilling in significant areas of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, aiming to hinder President-elect Donald Trump's energy policies. This ban, based on the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, would support environmental goals and solidify Biden's climate legacy.
The move has been criticized by Trump's team, who claim it undermines American energy independence. Trump's administration is preparing to reverse many of Biden's regulations, focusing on increasing domestic energy production and reducing costs for families.

Ukraine has ended its gas transit contract with Russia, halting all Russian gas flows through its territory, which previously accounted for a significant portion of EU imports. This move deprives Russia of €6.3 billion annually while marking a critical shift in Ukraine's energy strategy amid ongoing conflict.
For Europe, the transition away from Russian gas is complex and ongoing, with reliance still present, particularly in countries like Germany. While alternative sources such as LNG are being utilized, the situation remains precarious as some EU nations express concerns over energy security.
Breitbart: Reports: Biden Beefing up U.S. Military Presence in Kurdish Syria
The U.S. military is reportedly reinforcing its presence in northern Syria, specifically in Kobani, with a convoy delivering construction materials for a new base. This move is part of ongoing efforts to support the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in their fight against the Islamic State.
The situation in Syria remains volatile, especially after the recent takeover of Damascus by the al-Qaeda-linked militia Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The SDF faces challenges from both HTS and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, impacting their anti-ISIS operations and raising concerns about the security of prisons holding thousands of Islamic State members.
