Media coverage of Donald Trump has become 'even more insane': Bolt

The media coverage of Donald Trump has become even more insane, Sky News host Andrew Bolt says. "Last week ... the FBI staged an extraordinary raid on Trump's home in Florida looking for allegedly stolen documents," he said. "These are documents Trump had taken from his office after he lost the election, and which national archive officials say should have been left with us. "Social media went wild. Was Trump selling America nuclear secrets to Russia?," he said. He discussed the issue with Center of the American Experiment's President John Hinderaker.

Mariupol falls to Russian forces as defending troops evacuated

The siege of Mariupol is all but over as hundreds of its Ukrainian defenders finally abandoned the steel plant where they had held out for months under relentless bombardment. More than 260 Ukrainian soldiers, some of them seriously wounded, have left the ruins of the Azovstal steel plant and turned themselves over to Russian forces. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukrainian military, intelligence and negotiating teams, as well as the Red Cross and the United Nations were involved in the evacuation operation. It’s not clear what will now happen to the Ukrainian troops. Ukraine hopes that they will be freed in an exchange with Russian prisoners. While Russia called the operation a surrender, the Ukrainians said Mariupol’s defenders had successfully completed their mission to tie down Russian forces. Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Laura Bicker and Lyse Doucet in Ukraine.

Dec. 13 (UPI) — Sen. Marco Rubio introduced legislation on Tuesday that would ban TikTok from operating in the United States, as questions about the app’s connections to China continue to swirl.

Sen. Marco Rubio,R-Fla., said so far the federal government “has yet to take a single meaningful action to protect American users from the threat of TikTok.” File Pool Photo by /UPI

The Averting the National Threat of Internet Surveillance, Oppressive Censorship and Influence, and Algorithmic Learning by the Chinese Communist Party Act would ban transactions from any social media company in China, Russia and several other foreign countries of concern.

“The federal government has yet to take a single meaningful action to protect American users from the threat of TikTok,” Rubio, R-Fla., said in a statement. “This isn’t about creative videos — this is about an app that is collecting data on tens of millions of American children and adults every day.”

The bill alleges that Tiktok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, poses a security threat because of its data collection and vulnerability to the Chinese government.

Depending on whom you ask, TikTok is either a fun and engaging social media app or a tool of the Chinese Communist Party posing serious threats to national security. A growing list of lawmakers think it’s the latter. Indiana filed two lawsuits against TikTok this week, alleging the social media company is deceiving consumers about its content and data security.

While the bill does not name a Democratic co-sponsor in the Senate, Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisc., and Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., are introducing companion legislation in the House.

The bill would direct President Joe Biden to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to restrict access to the app.

Last month, Rubio and Gallagher published an opinion piece in the Washington Post announcing their plans.

“Unless TikTok and its algorithm can be separated from Beijing, the app’s use in the United States will continue to jeopardize our country’s safety and pave the way for a Chinese-influenced tech landscape here,” the two wrote.
