TAKEOFF,
Trump Tariffs Turn Colombia Around,
The White House said Sunday night that Colombia had backed down in its fight with President Donald Trump over allowing U.S. military flights to return illegal immigrants to that country.
The turnaround came hours after Trump announced he was imposing a 25% tariff on Colombian goods and a travel ban on its officials due to Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejecting two deportation flights from the U.S. and refusing to accept others.
White House officials held up the episode as a warning to other nations, and said the tariffs would be held in reserve but not signed if the flights resumed.
“The government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on U.S. military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
CIA: COVID Likely from Chinese Lab,
The CIA says it now believes that COVID-19 likely originated from a laboratory leak in China, shifting from previous neutral statements about the virus’ origins.
The shift comes just a few days after John Ratcliffe was sworn in as the agency’s new director and as the CIA released a Biden-initiated report on Saturday.
The agency acknowledged that it had “low confidence” in the assessment but stated the “research-related origin” is “more likely than a natural origin.”
Ratcliffe said in an interview Friday that the CIA needed to “get off the sidelines” in relation to COVID-19’s origins and that President Donald Trump should be armed with the best intelligence in his dealings with China.
Super Bowl: Chiefs vs. Eagles,
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 32-29 Sunday night to win the AFC championship and meet the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl in two weeks.
The Eagles clinched the NFC title earlier in the day, dominating the Washington Commanders in a 55-23 romp that ended Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels’ Cinderella run through the playoffs.
The Chiefs’ victory marked the fourth time since 2021 that they’ve beaten the Bills in the playoffs. Now the team will be competing to win an unprecedented third Super Bowl in a row on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
POLITICS,
President Donald Trump has released a hold imposed by former President Joe Biden, allowing the Pentagon to deliver 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.
Closer to home, Trump says he plans to deliver federal relief to Los Angeles as early as today after visiting the wildfire devastation there.
The White House is reportedly working on a plan to save TikTok that involves tapping software company Oracle and a group of outside investors to effectively take control of the app’s operations.
Senate Democrats have prepared a formal resolution to condemn President Donald Trump for pardoning people charged with violent crimes during the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the U.S. Capitol.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,
Promote your book/ebook on twitter and anything digital. For example, Christian Apps. I can hear all the naysayers say that twitter is a cesspool and you can’t sell anything on twitter.

I have 14 thousand 300+ followers on twitter and it all depends on who you follow. My followers are about half political and half writers, authors and readers. Now there are some writers, and especially christian writers say that they don’t feel right selling their books. You mean to tell me that God led you to write the book and all that goes into it and not mean for you to not tell people about it? I just don’t buy it.
