Liberty Nation News: What Everyone Misses on Trump’s Greenland Gambit - Liberty Nation News
Donald Trump has reignited interest in acquiring Greenland, stirring mixed reactions among political circles. Critics label the idea as unrealistic, while supporters argue it could bolster U.S. defense capabilities. Historical precedents, like the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska's acquisition, illustrate the complexities of territorial expansion.
Greenland's strategic significance has grown amid global tensions, prompting discussions on its potential independence from Denmark. A proposal could involve the U.S. enhancing defense support and economic incentives for Greenlanders, but any deal would require Senate approval.

Fox News: New Facebook guidelines, censorship draw mixed reaction from Americans
Meta is ending its fact-checking program to promote free expression on its platforms, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledging that current moderation practices have "gone too far." The new system will resemble Elon Musk's Community Notes on X.
Reactions among Americans are mixed; some welcome the change, arguing against censorship, while others express concern over the potential spread of misinformation without fact-checking. Critics worry that accurate information may be compromised.

Fox News: DOJ spent more than $100M on 'restorative justice,' DEI measures for K-12 students during Biden presidency
The Department of Justice has allocated over $100 million in grants since 2021 to promote restorative justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in K-12 schools across 36 states. These funds, aimed at improving school climates and addressing specific demographic needs, have sparked debate over their impact on traditional educational practices.
Critics argue that the DOJ's approach replaces exclusionary discipline with practices that may disrupt learning, and they raise concerns about the inclusion of controversial topics in curricula. The report highlights various funded projects, including anti-racism training and mental health programs, which some believe could exacerbate tensions rather than foster a positive school environment.

The Federalist: UK Grooming Gangs Scandal Could Happen In The US
The UK’s grooming gangs scandal has resurfaced, revealing decades of abuse against thousands of English girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim men, compounded by authorities' negligence and cover-ups. Despite early reports, local officials and police failed to act, prioritizing community relations over victim protection.
Similar patterns are emerging in the U.S., where illegal immigrants, some with serious criminal histories, remain unprosecuted. The Biden administration's inaction parallels the UK’s failures, raising concerns about public safety and the justice system's ability to protect citizens.
