Kevin McCarthy Addresses Congress for First Time as Speaker
|
Daily Wire: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delivered his first address as speaker shortly after midnight on Saturday following the 15th round of voting for the position. McCarthy won with 216 votes over Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) 211 votes because five Republican members voted “present,” thus lowering the bar needed for McCarthy to clinch the position ( Daily Wire). Post Millennial: Kevin McCarthy: “I know the night is late, but when we come back, our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents” ( Twitter). Host Jesse Kelly: These are the concessions Kevin McCarthy made to get the votes. Do keep in mind that 90% of the GOP pundit-class fought against these things for the last few days. You would have had none of this if they got their way ( Twitter).

What specific measures and remedies will be taken to protect our identities ( Twitter)? Townhall: Noem said that when she and her family visited former President Trump at the White House in December 2020, their personal information was recorded on visitor logs, which then became evidence for the Jan. 6 Committee.

Biden Administration Orders El Paso to Clean Up Border Ahead of Biden’s Visit
|
Townhall: The Biden Administration is being criticized for ordering local and state authorities to clean up the streets and arrest illegal migrants in El Paso, Texas just in time for President Joe Biden’s visit. The move seems to be in an attempt to paint a much different picture than what is happening at the southern border. El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents and local police officers cleared the streets so that when media outlets arrive for Biden’s first-ever visit, it will look like a crisis isn’t happening at all ( Townhall). Mark Levin: This is what dictatorships do ( Twitter). Greg Abbott: El Paso rushes to remove illegal immigrants and migrant camps that are crowding downtown before Biden arrives. Predictable. Biden does not want America to see the chaos that he has caused on the border. This is just a photo op and a game of pretend ( Twitter).

|
Audacity: After one of the largest meltdowns in airline history, Southwest Airlines has shared that the issues it faced over the holidays will cost the company upwards of $825 million. More than 16,700 flights were canceled during one of the busiest times to fly, and after the airline processes customer refunds and upgrades its scheduling software, it is expected to take heavy losses ( Audacity). CNN: This is not the first time the airline has suffered a costly service meltdown. It estimated similar problems during the Columbus Day weekend in 2021 cost it $75 million. But there were far fewer passengers flying then and far fewer flights canceled ( CNN).

China Removes Travel Restrictions
|
Wall Street Journal: Tens of thousands of travelers began to fly in and out of mainland China on Sunday as Beijing removed almost all of its border restrictions, bringing an end to pandemic measures that effectively sealed off the world’s most populous nation from the rest of the world for three years. The Chinese tourists heading abroad bring hope for relief to economies that had come to rely on spending by Chinese travelers in the years before the pandemic. The flow of travelers will likely remain restrained for a while as airlines readjust and some governments keep restrictions in place to prevent importing infections from China’s largest Covid-19 outbreak yet ( Wall Street Journal).
