The Federalist: Louisiana Bans 'Zuckbucks,' But Will That Be Enough In 2024?
Louisiana voters approved a constitutional amendment banning private money in election administration. It is the 26th state to do so. The amendment aims to prevent the use of "Zuckbucks" like those used in the 2020 election to alter election administration by expanding unsupervised protocols, primarily benefiting Democrat-majority counties. However, efforts to influence election administration continue through the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, funded by left-wing nonprofits, which seeks to provide election offices with scholarships that can be converted into services from partners like the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
Breitbart: Ecuador Rejects Socialists, Elects 35-Year-Old Outsider Noboa as President
Daniel Noboa, heir to a prominent banana company, becomes the next president of Ecuador amidst political violence and the assassination of a front-runner. Noboa, a surprise contender, won the election against establishment socialist Luisa González. The election was marked by controversy, including the killing of journalist Fernando Villavicencio, who exposed corruption under González's backer, Rafael Correa.

American Thinker: Moderate Republican journalists ‘stunned’ that Democrats shamelessly lied for their anti-Trump agenda
The writer criticizes Bret Baier's surprise at Leon Panetta's lack of regret for discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story. They question the motives of the intelligence officials who signed a document claiming the laptop could be Russian disinformation. The media and tech companies are accused of hiding the truth to achieve their goal of electing Joe Biden. The writer highlights various instances where Democrats have shown no remorse for their lies or policies, focusing on Obama and Hillary Clinton. They argue that those who spread lies and falsehoods, such as Fauci and Garland, have not shown regret either. The writer questions the media's lack of accountability and believes that truth holds no value for them or other Democrats.
Forbes: Oprah Suggested Presidential Run With Mitt Romney On A Unity Ticket, Report Says
Oprah Winfrey suggested a unity ticket with Mitt Romney during the 2020 presidential election to take on Donald Trump. Romney, however, rejected the idea, fearing it could unintentionally help Trump win reelection. Winfrey's suggestion was seen as a move to "save the country," according to an upcoming memoir by McKay Coppins. Romney, a vocal critic of Trump, has been a prominent figure in the Republican Party and was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. He announced in September that he would not seek reelection.

The American Mind: The Founders’ Liberalism Under Fire
Constitutional liberalism is under attack from both the political Left and Right. The Left blames capitalism and seeks to impose government price controls. The Right, represented by integralists, rejects constitutional principles and aims to establish a Catholic state. Both extremes threaten our tradition of freedom and individual rights. The current state of society reflects a decline in moral virtue and a rejection of basic morality. Rather than embracing extreme ideologies, we should emphasize the interdependence of freedom, morality, prosperity, and religion, and leave the pursuit of salvation to individuals and religious organizations.

The Blaze: Ilhan Omar fails to heed warning from AOC, gets caught spreading false claims of 'child genocide' in Gaza
Rep. Ilhan Omar was caught spreading misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war by reposting a decade-old photo of child victims from a different conflict. She later deleted the post. This comes after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned about the high levels of misinformation and advised verification before spreading information. Omar has a history of anti-Semitic remarks and was previously removed from a House committee.
Red State: WATCH: Israeli Navy Delivers Decisive Doom to Hamas' Attempt to Infiltrate by Sea
Israel suffered a major blow from Hamas in a violent attack, resulting in many Israeli casualties. However, the Israeli Navy's Snapir Unit successfully repelled Hamas terrorists attempting to infiltrate by sea. Israel is prepared to use its military superiority to confront and defeat Hamas, despite international pressure.
National Review: The Corner: The U.S. and Israel: Further Notes
Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of state, labeled Hamas as "pure evil" when asked about their goals in carrying out attacks. He has a personal connection to Israel due to his upbringing in a Zionist family and living with a Holocaust survivor. In the midst of violence and threats against Jews, former President George W. Bush defends Israel, stating that one side is guilty and it's not Israel. People who displayed a Ukrainian flag in solidarity were once mocked, but now many are displaying an Israeli flag, raising questions about potential mockery. The University of Michigan student newspaper published an anonymous article supporting the Hamas attack on Israel, while chants against border walls resonate on campus. The comparison between institutional reactions to sombreros at Halloween parties and the violence in Israel highlights the inconsistency in addressing different issues. The term "microaggression" is questioned, with the notion that if it's aggression, it can't be micro.

Spectator USA: Will New Zealand’s new government strengthen its relationship with the Anglosphere?

The new prime minister-elect's party aims to maintain a strong military and relationship with Australia and the Five Eyes partners. The possibility of New Zealand joining AUKUS is on the table, which would mark a shift in the country's approach to international developments.
Red State: Hamas Stole Aid from the UN, and Now the UN Is Rushing to Cover It Up
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency in Gaza was robbed of fuel by trucks posing as Ministry of Health vehicles. It is widely known that Hamas is responsible for the theft, although the UN agency avoids mentioning them. The stolen fuel will likely be used for Hamas' combat operations, prolonging the war and endangering the Palestinian people. The UN's deletion of their statement reveals their subservience to Hamas and their anti-Israel bias, but the evidence remains and Hamas' actions continue to harm their own people.
The Right Scoop: BREAKING: Two Iranian terrorists arrested over a “significant security threat” at Biden’s southern border
Two Iranian terrorists have been apprehended at the southern border, raising concerns about a significant security threat. With the border being open for over a decade, the number of unknown terrorists who may have crossed is uncertain, causing apprehension about potential attacks on American soil. The ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel also adds to the concern of wider consequences in the Middle East and beyond.
Breitbart: 'Breaking Biden' Author Marlow on D'Souza Show: President Joe Intentionally Weakened Border Security Despite Terror Threat
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow warns that President Joe Biden's open border makes the United States vulnerable to potential terror attacks. Marlow cites the presence of Chinese nationals and the willingness of Hamas terrorists to die for their cause as proof of this vulnerability. He argues that Biden does not take security issues seriously and has intentionally reduced border security. Marlow's concerns come in the wake of a brutal attack by Hamas in which 1,000 Israelis were killed and Americans were among the victims. He details these concerns in his book Breaking Biden.

An official mouthpiece of the Palestinian Authority removed any mention of Hamas from a report, indicating a change in their stance. Abbas had previously condemned the attack and emphasized their opposition to violence, opting for political action instead. This comes after he faced criticism for justifying the Holocaust.
