👮♂️ Las Vegas Police Protective Association to Participate in Trump’s Inaugural Parade
The Las Vegas Police Protective Association (LVPPA), representing over 3,700 active and retired law enforcement officers, will march in the Presidential Parade following President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony next week. The announcement, made by the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, highlights the LVPPA’s support for Trump, whom the association endorsed during the 2024 presidential election.
Celebrating Law Enforcement
Over 25 members of the LVPPA will join the parade, marking the organization’s significant role in honoring the inauguration of the nation’s 47th president. The participation of law enforcement officers from Las Vegas reflects the strong connection between public safety personnel and the transition to new national leadership.
The Presidential Parade, a traditional component of the inauguration, celebrates the diversity and unity of the nation. The LVPPA’s involvement underscores their commitment to public service and their alignment with the incoming administration’s priorities on law enforcement and public safety.
Enhancing the Parade’s Significance
The parade, featuring a wide array of participants from across the country, aims to showcase the cultural and professional diversity of the United States. The LVPPA’s participation adds a distinctive element to the event, with law enforcement officers representing one of the most critical pillars of public service.
This historic event, steeped in tradition, serves as a reminder of the partnership between communities and those who serve to protect them. The LVPPA’s inclusion symbolizes the vital role law enforcement plays in supporting the country’s democratic institutions and leadership transitions.
As the nation looks ahead to a new chapter, the involvement of the LVPPA in the inaugural parade adds a celebratory and honorable touch to the proceedings, reflecting the importance of law enforcement in maintaining the nation’s safety and security.
🏒 Dorofeyev’s Hat Trick Not Enough as Predators Defeat Knights
Pavel Dorofeyev delivered a standout performance with his first NHL hat trick Tuesday night, but the Golden Knights were unable to complete a comeback, falling 5-3 to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena.
The Knights (29-12-3) faced a steep challenge after falling behind 4-0 midway through the game. Dorofeyev’s three goals brought them within one late in the third period, but Nashville held on for the win, powered by contributions from former Golden Knight Jonathan Marchessault and Steven Stamkos.
Predators Dominate Early
Nashville’s top line of Marchessault, Stamkos, and Filip Forsberg set the tone early, accounting for two first-period goals. The Knights struggled offensively, managing just one shot on goal in the opening frame.
The Predators extended their lead to 4-0 in the second period with goals from defenseman Justin Barron and Stamkos. By then, the Knights had been outshot 11-1 in the first period and faced a steep uphill battle.
The slow start marked one of the Knights’ most lackluster opening periods this season, as they failed to match the energy of Nashville’s aggressive play.
Dorofeyev’s Career Night
Dorofeyev provided a spark with his first goal midway through the second period. He added a power-play goal minutes later, then completed the natural hat trick late in the third period to close the gap to 4-3.
The 24-year-old winger became the second-youngest player in franchise history to record a hat trick. His 19 goals this season lead the team, showcasing his breakout performance.
Despite Dorofeyev’s efforts, the Knights couldn’t overcome the deficit.
Late Push Falls Short
The Knights dominated the third period, outshooting the Predators 13-2 and creating several chances, but they were unable to find the equalizer. A late power-play opportunity in the second period failed to yield a goal, leaving the Knights without the momentum to close the gap further.
Goaltender Ilya Samsonov, who made 18 saves, had a rare off-night, allowing more than three goals for the first time in over a month.
Full Lineup Returns
Tuesday marked the fourth game this season where the Knights had their full lineup available. Center Nicolas Roy and left wing Ivan Barbashev returned to action over the weekend, and Jack Eichel rejoined the team after missing Sunday’s game due to illness.
Even with the lineup intact, the team struggled to find consistency and fell victim to a slow start.
Key Takeaways
Dorofeyev’s Breakout Performance: The winger continues his impressive season, leading the team with 19 goals in 44 games after recording his first NHL hat trick.
Power-Play Missed Opportunity: A crucial late second-period power play could have changed the momentum but failed to produce a goal.
Predators’ Top Line Stars: Nashville’s top line of Marchessault, Stamkos, and Forsberg played a pivotal role, with Marchessault tallying an assist against his former team.
Looking Ahead
The Knights face a demanding road schedule with five of their next six games away from T-Mobile Arena. They take on the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday, followed by a back-to-back matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.
❎ Pam Bondi Faces Intense Scrutiny in Senate Confirmation Hearing for Attorney General Post
Pam Bondi, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for attorney general, pledged during her Senate confirmation hearing to restore trust in the Department of Justice (DOJ) while addressing concerns over its perceived politicization. Bondi defended Trump’s long-standing claims that he had been unfairly targeted by numerous investigations, asserting her commitment to maintaining the department’s independence if confirmed.
Bondi’s remarks closely aligned with Trump’s criticisms of the DOJ, which he has accused of weaponizing its powers against him. Her nomination has drawn sharp divides, with Republicans praising her as a corrective force for a department they claim pursued politically motivated investigations, while Democrats question her ability to act independently of the president.
Scrutiny Over Independence
Democratic senators focused on whether Bondi could resist pressure from Trump to use the DOJ to settle political scores. When pressed about her response to potential White House interference in criminal cases, Bondi emphasized her role as a servant of the American people rather than the president, though she avoided providing direct answers to hypothetical scenarios.
Her past defense of Trump during his legal and political battles raised concerns among Democrats, particularly comments about holding prosecutors and investigators accountable for perceived missteps. Bondi has consistently criticized what she describes as political motivations behind the investigations into Trump, including those led by special counsel Jack Smith.
Republicans Rally Behind Bondi
Republican senators welcomed Bondi as a potential reformer who would address grievances they have long held about the DOJ. They praised her focus on restoring public confidence, protecting constitutional rights, and prioritizing law enforcement efforts on violent crime and border security.
Bondi outlined an agenda emphasizing First and Second Amendment protections, reforms to the federal Bureau of Prisons, and efforts to combat violent crime, drug trafficking, and terrorism. She also underscored her commitment to addressing the border crisis, a cornerstone of Trump’s policy platform.
A Polarizing Figure
Bondi’s close association with Trump and her public defense of him have fueled concerns about her impartiality. Critics pointed to past remarks, including allegations that members of the "deep state" were undermining Trump’s first term and that prosecutors and investigators should face scrutiny. These comments have raised fears that the DOJ under Bondi could be weaponized to pursue investigations at Trump’s direction.
Her nomination followed the withdrawal of Trump’s first choice, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, amid controversy over a federal sex trafficking investigation. Bondi’s background includes nearly two decades as a prosecutor in Florida and a subsequent career as a corporate lobbyist.
Focus on DOJ Reform
In her opening statement, Bondi vowed to steer the DOJ back to its core mission of public safety and law enforcement, highlighting issues such as gang violence, child exploitation, and the opioid crisis. She framed her potential tenure as a chance to restore confidence in the department and end what she described as years of partisan weaponization.
The hearing underscored the challenges Bondi faces in bridging the political divide and addressing concerns over her ability to lead an independent Justice Department under Trump’s administration.
✈ Harry Reid International Airport Ranks Among Top 20 Busiest Worldwide in 2023
Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport continues to solidify its status as a major global hub, ranking as the eighth busiest airport in the United States and 19th worldwide for passenger volume in 2023, according to Airports Council International (ACI). The rankings underscore Reid’s role in connecting travelers to Las Vegas and beyond, with a significant presence from Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Allegiant Air.
Passenger Growth
In 2023, Reid handled 57.67 million passengers, narrowly trailing Orlando International Airport, which saw 57.74 million passengers. This marked a 9.4% increase from 2022 and an 11.6% rise compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019.
Globally, Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport retained its title as the busiest airport, serving 104.7 million passengers. Other top-ranked airports included Dubai International (UAE), Heathrow International (London), and Haneda International (Tokyo).
Aircraft Movements
Reid excelled in aircraft movements, ranking fifth globally with 611,806 landings and takeoffs, following Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Denver. This represented a 5.6% increase over 2022 and a 10.6% increase from 2019.
Comparisons with Global Competitors
While Reid has grown substantially in passenger traffic and aircraft movements, it didn’t make ACI’s top 20 list for cargo handling. The airport’s strength lies in its appeal as a leisure travel hub, driven by Las Vegas’ reputation as a premier tourist destination.
Top 10 Busiest Airports Worldwide
Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Atlanta)

Heathrow International Airport (London)
Haneda International Airport (Tokyo)

Reid’s performance highlights its vital role in connecting millions of travelers to Las Vegas and supporting the region’s booming tourism industry. As the airport continues to grow, it remains a cornerstone of the city’s infrastructure and a key player in the global aviation landscape.
