The Telegraph: Cambridge society cancels opera over ‘parallels’ to Israel and Hamas
Cambridge society cancels opera over ‘parallels’ to Israel and Hamas
Cambridge University's opera society cancelled a performance of Handel's Saul over perceived parallels to the Hamas attacks on Israel. The opera, based on a biblical tale of the relationship between King Saul and his successor David, was seen as having "striking synchronicity with the ongoing Middle East conflict." The decision was criticized by historians and a composer, with one professor calling it an extreme example of cancel culture. The cancellation comes amidst controversy at Cambridge, as the students' union has faced backlash for calling for a "mass uprising" to "free the Palestinian people."

America’s House of Representatives finally has a speaker


Mike Johnson, a congressman from Louisiana, has been chosen as the new speaker for the House of Representatives after three previous nominees failed. He is a conservative who has shown support for right-wing causes and has been criticized for his voting record. Now, he must navigate the challenges of funding the government and passing important legislation while negotiating with Democrats. Republicans hope to avoid another embarrassing ordeal, but the possibility of a government shutdown looms. Meanwhile, President Biden has proposed a package of aid for allies, including Ukraine and Israel, and it remains to be seen how Republicans will respond to this request.


The Telegraph: Evil is real, and the West is in peril for forgetting that
Evil is real, and the West is in peril for forgetting that
The rise of anti-Semitism, particularly in relation to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, highlights the dangerous moral relativism of our age. Many young people justify acts of terrorism and exhibit a lack of sympathy for the Israelis, while social media platforms have become breeding grounds for old-fashioned anti-Semitism. This moral relativism stems from a failure to identify evil and a reluctance to defend Western values rooted in Christianity. To prevent further descent into moral ambiguity, we must acknowledge the origins of our freedoms and the threats they face.

The White House Has Become an Adult Daycare Center
With over a thousand slaughtered in Israel and hostages still held, Biden's focus is on appeasing the Muslim community, prioritizing "Islamophobia," while downplaying the atrocities committed by Hamas. Biden's speech was edited by Muslim-American officials to ensure their concerns were addressed. This prioritization of certain groups over others diminishes the suffering of those affected by the recent violence and undermines the pursuit of justice.

So how's the Biden administration's oil-for-fair elections deal going in Venezuela?

Georgia Lieutenant Gov Wants To Pay Teachers $10,000 Annually To Carry Guns On Campuses
Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones of Georgia has proposed legislation to pay school teachers $10,000 annually to carry guns at school in order to increase campus safety. The plan also includes stricter safety guidelines and providing more funding to schools that hire school resource officers with police certification. While some argue that arming teachers is a proactive measure to prevent school shootings, the Georgia Association of Educators strongly opposes the idea, stating that teachers should not serve as law enforcement and that introducing more firearms into schools will not solve the problem of violence.
