DAILY PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of life. Make us instruments, Lord, by which others will see You and who You are. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

AMBASSADORS TO HOLLYWOOD: In a surprise post on Truth Social, Trump announced, “It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California.

“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!

“These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

FAUXTUS: Mr. “I believe in the rule of law” spent his final morning in the Oval Office signing preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and people who served on and the law enforcement officers who testified before the U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. He did not issue pardons to the innocents who have been rotting in prison for years after being invited in to said Capitol by said law enforcement officers.

MIDDLE EAST: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Jan. 19 that Hamas had released three female hostages amid a fragile cease-fire deal that went into effect early on Jan. 19.

S&G: An Australian transgender pedophile (25) has been convicted of repeatedly abusing his own 5-year-old daughter sexually while filming the incidents which he then shared with another pervert. The judge cited transphobia as a mitigating factor in the decision to sentence him to just over 4 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole in 2.5 years.

An Austrian kindergarten has expelled two children after their parents expressed concerns about their classrooms having posters depicting nude and trans-identified humans. One is titled, “Bodies naked and bare, vulva, penis, breasts, butts. You decide for yourself, indeed! Bodies are cool!” Others show an obese male in the shower with a young boy, a trans-identified male with an exposed penis and breasts, and two nude children taking a shower with an adult.

TIKTOK: Last year, members of Congress passed the ban on TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, over concerns that the platform is collecting sensitive data and information on Americans. The law required that ByteDance, which has long had an internal Chinese Communist Party committee with its own secretary, divest from TikTok within 270 days of the law being passed, which was Jan. 19.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said that he plans to uphold the divest-or-ban law on TikTok. “It’s not the platform that members of Congress are concerned about. It’s the Chinese Communist Party, and their manipulation of the algorithms.” Those algorithms, he said, have been “flooding the minds of American children with terrible messages, glorifying violence, and anti-Semitism, and even suicide and eating disorders,” describing it as a “very dangerous thing.”

The site went dark on Sunday until Trump asked tech companies to allow it to operate. He plans to sign an executive order giving the company 90 more days to divest or else.

GRAMMY NOTES: This meme has me wondering if my dust allergy is a physical manifestation of my introverted personality. [That was a joke … I think.]
