Newsbusters: PolitiFact Pounces on New House Speaker, Unlike Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries
PolitiFact fact-checked new House Speaker Mike Johnson's acceptance speech. They gave him a "Half True" for saying prices have increased over 17% in the last two years. They also gave him a "Mostly True" for saying the debt would increase by $20 million during his speech. PolitiFact did not fact-check Hakeem Jeffries when he was elected and they have not fact-checked his statements calling the 2016 election illegitimate. They evaluated Jeffries' claim that "Extreme MAGA Republicans want to ban books" and found some support for it, although the mention of banning baseball books is a stretch. Duval County, Florida briefly pulled a Roberto Clemente book but then returned it to shelves.

The Economist: The culture war over the Gaza war
The culture war over the Gaza war is causing a shift in Western attitudes towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conflict is being fueled by technology, demography, and ideology, leading to a rise in anti-Israel sentiment and protests in support of Palestine. The polarization of views is evident in the use of slogans and online disinformation, further exacerbating the issue.
American Thinker: Joe Biden touted as a ‘key’ figure and a ‘wartime’ leader?
President Biden is considered a key leader in Israel's conflict with Hamas, despite Israeli society's mistrust of its own government. Meanwhile, Biden's focus on climate change as the greatest threat disregards other global issues like Iran, China, and North Korea. His administration's policies benefit countries like China, Iran, and Russia. Biden's appeasement and funding of Iran, along with his perceived weakness in dealing with enemies, are reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain's approach to Hitler.

National Review: Air-Travel ‘Junk Fees’ Come from the Government
The Biden administration is focusing on "junk fees" in various industries, particularly airlines, but fails to address how the government itself contributes to these fees. Charging separately for amenities allows people to have options and saves them money, but it also helps airlines reduce excise tax. The government imposes multiple fees and taxes on air travel, leading to higher prices and an inefficient system. The government's role in air travel infrastructure should be reconsidered to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction.
National Review: A Wake-Up Call in the Graphite Fight
China has introduced new export controls on graphite following restrictions from the US on semiconductor chips. This move allows China to tighten its grip on the natural-graphite market, where it is the largest producer and exporter. The US, on the other hand, imports 100% of its graphite and has not produced it domestically for decades. China's control over critical minerals such as graphite poses a national security risk for the US and highlights the need for the country to invest in domestic mining efforts to reduce reliance on China.

National Review: Modernism and Tradition Jostle at the Asia Society
The Asia Society in New York is showcasing a new exhibition called Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan. The exhibition explores the Meiji era, a time of cultural exchange and Western influence in Japan from 1868 to 1912. It features a diverse range of art forms, including ceramics, textiles, woodblock prints, and sculptures. The exhibition challenges the notion that Meiji art was merely a diluted version of Western art, instead highlighting its unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and Western influence.
