The Federalist: Justice Isn't Served In Laken Riley Murder If Mayorkas Walks Free
Jose Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Laken Riley. His entry into the U.S. in 2022 was facilitated by what critics describe as lax immigration policies under the Biden administration, which they argue allowed criminals to enter the country.
Despite Ibarra's life sentence, there is ongoing criticism of government officials, particularly DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, for policies that allegedly enable illegal immigration and fail to protect American citizens. The situation raises questions about accountability for those in power who create such policies.

GB News: British tourist, 18, faces prison in Dubai after fling with girl, 17, he met on holiday
An 18-year-old British tourist, Marcus Fakana, faces a potential 20-year prison sentence in Dubai for having sex with a 17-year-old girl during a holiday. The girl’s strict mother reported the relationship to authorities, leading to Fakana's arrest after they had to keep their meetings secret.
Despite recent reforms in Dubai's laws regarding sex outside marriage for tourists, the legal framework remains strict, with no clear age of consent. Fakana's family is now in Dubai trying to secure his release, having already exhausted their savings for the trip. They are seeking assistance from the British government.
GB News: Mr Pothole's 'faith in Labour' shattered as 'there is no political will' to address major road issue
Campaigner "Mr Pothole" expressed disappointment in Labour's commitment to addressing the UK's pothole crisis, citing a lack of political will despite recent funding announcements. He argues that investing £3 billion annually in road resurfacing could save the economy £7 billion a year.
Recent RAC data shows compensation claims for pothole damage have doubled, while councils focus on defending these claims rather than repairing roads. The government has announced an additional £500 million for repairs, but Mr Pothole insists more substantial investment is necessary.
The Economist: Where British MPs should look before the vote on assisted dying
British MPs will vote on November 29th regarding a bill by Kim Leadbeater to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. This vote is significant as it allows MPs to exercise their judgment on a matter of conscience.
The debate draws comparisons to similar legislation in Australia, rather than Canada, highlighting the evolving discussions around assisted dying.

Fox News: I know what President Trump’s energy policy will be. I used to run his energy regulatory agency.
Senator John Thune, newly elected Senate Majority Leader, emphasized the Republican goal of restoring American energy dominance, aligning with President Trump's energy agenda. This includes deregulating fossil fuels, increasing permitting for oil and gas, and expanding energy infrastructure.
Trump's strategy aims to make the U.S. a leader in energy production while also reducing carbon emissions. His plans for a second term focus on embracing all forms of energy, including nuclear and renewables, to meet rising demand and support manufacturing growth in America.
Fox News: Morning Glory: Worried about the national debt?
Congress's inaction on reducing spending, including subsidies, raises doubts about its commitment to addressing the national debt, which has surpassed $36 trillion. Young voters, preoccupied with immediate issues like jobs and climate change, show little concern for the debt's long-term implications.
Despite warnings from experts about the rising debt and its potential impact on future generations, the electorate remains indifferent. Without significant cuts and a serious approach from Congress, fiscal responsibility is unlikely to gain traction among voters.
