Fox News: Biden’s Medal of Freedom picks show Democrats are ‘out of touch’ and ‘trolling’ Republicans: columnist
President Biden faced criticism for his selection of Medal of Freedom recipients, which included prominent liberal figures like Hillary Clinton and George Soros. Politico's Michael Schaffer argued that these choices indicate Democrats are disconnected from ordinary Americans and have politicized what was once a nonpartisan honor.
Schaffer noted that the awardees, while accomplished, represent a political stance that may not resonate with the broader public. He suggested that the event could undermine Biden's legacy and diminish the significance of the Medal of Freedom.
Breitbart: Dershowitz: Merchan Revealing Sentence in Advance 'Was a Scam, a Ploy'
Alan Dershowitz criticized Judge Juan Merchan's announcement of no jail time for Donald Trump as a tactic to dissuade the U.S. Supreme Court from intervening in the case. He called it a "scam" and a "ploy," arguing it undermines the integrity of the American criminal justice system.
Dershowitz expressed concern that such actions reflect a troubling trend in legal proceedings, likening it to past civil rights abuses. He emphasized that the ruling ultimately favored Trump and the American public by rejecting what he termed "lawfare."

GB News: Asteroid large enough to spark 'globally catastrophic' destruction to soar past Earth tomorrow
A massive asteroid, (887) Alinda, larger than Manhattan, will pass within 7.63 million miles of Earth this Sunday. While it poses no threat, its size and proximity are notable, as it ranks among the largest celestial objects expected to approach Earth in the next century.
Alinda, measuring 4.2 kilometers wide, could cause catastrophic damage if it were to impact Earth. However, experts assure that there is no risk during this flyby. Stargazers may catch a glimpse of the asteroid near the constellations of Orion and Gemini.
