VP Pence: Election results are not up to me

https://www.oann.com/vp-pence-election-results-are-not-up-to-me/

Vice President Mike Pence asked a federal court to dismiss a case claiming he has the authority to discount electoral votes. On Thursday, U.S. Department of Justice attorneys representing the Vice President asked a Texas federal court to throw out the lawsuit led by Texas Representative Louie Gohmert.

The lawsuit cited Pence’s constitutional duty to oversee the Electoral College votes and perform a tally to declare the winner as the presiding senior officer. Despite Pence’s opposition to the suit, he has stood firm in his calls for the American people to stop the steal.

“So I don’t think I have to tell you this for all we’ve done, for all we have to do,” the Vice President stated. “Stay in the fight. Stay in the fight in our election, stay in the fight in Georgia’s election.”

Gohmert’s lawyers requested the ruling to be handed down by Monday to allow time for an appeal.

December 28, 2020

(Reuters) -Tesla Inc will come to India early next year, country’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari told national daily the Indian Express on Monday.

The electric-car maker will start with sales and then might look at assembly and manufacturing based on the response, the minister told https://indianexpress.com/article/business/nitin-gadkari-confirms-tesla-coming-to-india-in-early-2021-7123238 the newspaper.

Tesla and the minister’s office could not be reached by Reuters for comment.

India has been keen to reduce its oil dependence and cut down on pollution, but its efforts to promote electric vehicles have been stymied by a lack of investment in manufacturing and infrastructure such as charging stations.

The first model to be launched will be Model 3, the cheapest among Tesla vehicles, with prices starting at over $74,739 (5.5 million Indian rupees), according to a report in the Economic Times on Saturday.

Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk on Sunday confirmed India foray in 2021 in a reply on Twitter, but said it would not happen in January.

In October, the government of Maharashtra had invited Tesla to the state, weeks after Musk suggested entering the country next year.

Shares of the electric-car maker were up 2% in premarket trading.

Rouhani Warns Trump Will Be Dead in 'Days' as Iran-US Relations Erode

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/rouhani-trump-soleimani-dead/2021/01/01/id/1003940/

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani declared that President Donald Trump will be dead in a few days during a speech to his Islamic nation’s cabinet as the first anniversary of the killing of a general in the country’s military approached.

Rouhani’s Wednesday speech, excerpts of which were posted in English on the Iranian presidential website, called Qasem Soleimani a martyr and moderate leader with tact.

Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s Quds Force — described by military specialists as an unconventional war and clandestine operations unit — was killed in a targeted drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020, that was approved by Trump.

The U.S. Department of Defense blamed Soleimani for hundreds of deaths and injuries to Americans; he was purportedly killed while in neighboring Iraq while actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.

Besides Trump, Rouhani referred to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as the main perpetrators of this crime.

"One of the effects of this stupid and disgraceful act was that Trumpism ended and in a few days, the life of this criminal will end and he will go to the dustbin of history, and we are very happy about this and we believe that the period after Trump will be a better condition for regional and global stability," Rouhani said.

The remarks come as tensions have intensified approaching the anniversary of Soleimani’s death; his successor has vowed vengeance, and the U.S. has flown B-52s over the region in an act of deterrence.

Among other signs of escalation:

Iran has told the United Nations nuclear watchdog it plans to enrich uranium to 20% purity, a level it achieved before a 2015 nuclear accord, at its Fordow site buried inside a mountain, the agency said on Friday. The move is the latest of several recent announcements Iran has delivered to the International Atomic Energy Agency pointing to plans to breach the deal, which it started violating in 2019 in retaliation for the Trump administration's withdrawal from the agreement and reimposition of sanctions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday accused Trump of attempting to fabricate a pretext to attack Iran, and said Tehran would defend itself forcefully. The bomber flights appeared to have been a trigger for his tough remarks.

The Pentagon announced on Thursday that the Nimitz aircraft carrier, which was off the coast of Somalia, would be heading back to its home port. It has previously operated in the Middle East. The move was seen by some U.S. officials as an attempt to reduce tensions in the region.

Washington has also been blaming Iran-backed militia for regular rocket attacks on U.S. facilities in Iraq, including near the embassy. No known Iran-backed groups have claimed responsibility.

Meanwhile, Iran is continuing preparations for events marking the anniversary of Soleimani's killing this Sunday.

Trump Vetoes Driftnet Ban Off California Coast

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/trump-veto-california-driftnet/2021/01/01/id/1003950/

President Donald Trump has vetoed a bill that would have eliminated the use of large-mesh driftnets for commercial fishing off the California coast, saying the measure would be effectively terminating the industry in the region, not achieve its purported benefits and worsen a seafood trade imbalance.

By forcing the West Coast drift gillnet fishery to use alternative gear that has not been proven to be an economically viable substitute for gillnets, the Congress is effectively terminating the fishery, Trump wrote in his veto message to the Senate posted to the White House website. As a result, an estimated 30 fishing vessels, all of which are operated by family-owned small businesses, will no longer be able to bring their bounty to shore. At a time when our Nation has a seafood trade deficit of nearly $17 billion, (the bill) will exacerbate this imbalance.

The bill was authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., with West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito as a co-sponsor, and Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., in the House.

Feinstein promised to reintroduce this bill on the first day of the new Congress, according to The Associated Press.

The bill would have banned equipment in U.S. territorial waters already prohibited in similar areas in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and off the coasts of Washington state, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii.
