Fox News: Speaker Johnson and the unseen forces that unexpectedly propelled him to top House job
House Speaker Mike Johnson's rise to power was unexpected and swift. After several failed nominations, Johnson emerged as the 56th speaker of the House, with unanimous support from Republicans. However, he now finds himself facing opposition from powerful figures within his own party. Johnson's ascent to the speakership was a result of complex political dynamics and shifting alliances within the House.

Daily Signal: ‘Right to Shelter’ Is Forcing New York City to House Illegal Aliens
New York City is grappling with the influx of illegal aliens at the southern border, as it is burdened by a "right to shelter" that requires the city to house unlimited numbers of new arrivals. The issue dates back to lawsuits in the 1980s, and the Coalition for the Homeless, which originally sued the city, continues to advocate for housing for both legal residents and illegal aliens. With the number of migrants in shelters continuing to rise, Mayor Eric Adams is resorting to desperate measures, such as renting hotels and creating makeshift shelters, to accommodate them. However, the problem seems insurmountable as long as the border remains open under President Joe Biden's administration.
Red State: BREAKING: Republican House Passes $14.3B Israel Aid Bill With Dem Help ... and Some GOP Nays
The House of Representatives passed a bill to supplement funds to Israel during the war with Hamas, with a slim Republican majority. 12 Democrats crossed the aisle to vote in favor.
The GOP bill excludes funds for Ukraine and cuts IRS coffers. The Biden administration threatens to veto the bill, saying it is "bad for Israel and national security." Speaker Johnson defends the focus on Israel and rejects political motives.
Le Monde: China pays tribute to former Prime Minister Li Keqiang, 'the last leader of the reform era'
Former Chinese prime minister Li Keqiang passed away from a heart attack, receiving a modest state and Party tribute.

Daily Wire: The Islamophobic Lie
This month has seen a significant rise in anti-Semitism globally, with a spike in incidents ranging from verbal abuse to physical attacks. Jewish businesses are being boycotted solely because they are Jewish-owned or serve Israeli food. The media reports on this rise in anti-Semitism often try to link it to a rise in "Islamophobia," despite there being no connection between the two. This narrative seeks to portray opposition to anti-Semitism as a form of Islamophobia, which is promoted by groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group known for its anti-Semitic views. The Biden administration's decision to link anti-Semitism and Islamophobia is an attempt to appease radical Muslims who support Hamas, rather than taking a strong stance against anti-Semitism.
National Review: Protect Women Ohio Launches Ad Featuring 911 Call from Abortion Clinic
A pro-life group in Ohio warns of the dangers of a ballot measure that would outlaw restrictions on abortion and other reproductive procedures, remove parental-consent requirements for minors, and allow non-doctors to perform abortions. One ad features a 911 call from an abortion clinic where a woman suffered complications. Another ad highlights a case where a soccer coach forced his 14-year-old rape victim to have an abortion. Opponents argue the measure is too broad and would also affect gender-transition treatment. The amendment, written by the ACLU, aims to remove parental involvement from these procedures.
PJ Media: The Left Has Found Another Reason to Hate Mike Johnson: He's Not Rich
It appears that the left is targeting House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for being a devout Christian and questioning the security of the 2020 election. They are now criticizing him for not being wealthy and living paycheck-to-paycheck. However, it seems that the Daily Beast's article on Johnson's financial situation is flawed and misleading.

The Telegraph: Israel’s troops at ‘height of the battle’ as they encircle Gaza City
Israeli troops are in the midst of fierce clashes with Hamas in Gaza City as they claim to have surrounded the Strip's capital. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been collapsing tunnels to suffocate Hamas while continuing airstrikes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they were advancing and had impressive successes. IDF soldiers have come under fire and Lt Col Salman Habka was killed in fighting. A UN school was hit by an Israeli warplane, killing 20 people. Amnesty International claims that the IDF used white phosphorus over Gaza and Lebanon. Israeli forces are making advances along the Gaza border and targeting Gaza from the sea. The IDF is preparing to enter the underground tunnel system, which has been a "death trap" for Hamas. Battles are taking place in urban areas and Hamas has used commercial drones to attack Israeli soldiers. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has intensified rocket attacks on Israel from Lebanon.
The Telegraph: Pro-Palestine rally set to go ahead on Remembrance weekend
Concerns are rising that a pro-Palestine rally in central London on Nov. 11 could disrupt Remembrance Day ceremonies. The Royal British Legion opposes political protests during the Poppy Appeal, but organizers of the rally have indicated they will avoid the Whitehall area. Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has expressed concern about the impact of policing the protests but has vowed to ensure the security of the Remembrance Day events.
Daily Signal: Orthodox Jewish Rabbis Assail Rivals' Call for Cease-Fire in Gaza
The Coalition for Jewish Values condemns the Union for Reform Judaism's call for a "humanitarian pause" in Gaza, warning that it would give Hamas terrorists the chance to regroup. They argue that the release of hostages and eradicating Hamas are moral imperatives necessary to protect Jewish lives. The Coalition criticizes the Reform statement for focusing on innocent civilians in Gaza and not acknowledging the barbarism of terrorists and other residents involved in looting and murder.

Daily Wire: 12 House Dems Ignore Biden Veto Threat, Help Pass Israel Aid With IRS Cuts
Twelve House Democrats crossed party lines to pass a plan that cuts IRS funds by $14.3 billion to provide emergency aid to Israel. The measure now goes to the Senate. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to create a bipartisan aid package for Israel and Ukraine, among other things, instead. President Biden requested $14.3 billion for Israel, $61.4 billion for Ukraine, and other national security-related funds. The GOP plan is expected to be vetoed by Biden and some Democrats oppose it due to potential deficit increase. Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the need for spending cuts and prioritized tackling the national debt.
Foreign Policy: McConnell’s Ukraine Legacy Turns Into Political Headache
McConnell's legacy on Ukraine aid is at risk as he faces opposition from the Republican Party. The House Republicans' plan to separate aid for Israel and Ukraine poses a major setback, creating an impasse in passing the funding package. McConnell aims to combine aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan in a unified push against an "axis of evil," but faces challenges from anti-Ukraine factions within the party. The future of Republican foreign policy hinges on whether the isolationist or traditional wing of the party will prevail.
Human Events: DAVID KRAYDEN: FBI director and Homeland Security secretary both worked hard to make America safe for terrorists
It is significant that both Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray both appeared before a Senate committee this week. Wray suggested that America is on the verge of more terrorist attacks, while Mayorkas remains focused on "white supremacists" as the biggest threat to America, ignoring the potential dangers posed by terrorists entering the country through an open border. Both have failed in their duties and are more concerned with political agendas than keeping America safe.
Fox News: John Kirby says Biden would veto Israel-only supplemental package if passed by Congress
President Biden's Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, stated that Biden would veto an Israel-only aid bill if it passed Congress. House Republicans were preparing to vote on a $14.3 billion Israel-only aid package that would take funding away from the IRS. The administration opposes the bill and believes it deepens divides and erodes bipartisan support for Israel's security.
If the House passes the bill, it faces opposition in the Senate. Denying humanitarian assistance to Palestinians would be a mistake and undermine Israel's security. The White House believes in providing resources for national security priorities and helping those in need. A different package is needed that can pass the Democrat-controlled Senate and be signed into law by a Democratic president.
Front Page Magazine: Gov. Newsom Says California Will Defy Fed Gov to Ally With China
Chinese election interference by the Chinese Communist Party in Canada and the United States is a real concern. Chinese diplomats pressure Chinese community members to support political candidates, with tactics such as cash donations and hiring Chinese students for electoral campaigns. Similar interference is suspected in the US, particularly in California, where Chinese spy consulates and secret police stations operate, and politicians attend events organized by Chinese associations. The secrecy surrounding Chinese interference contrasts with the public discussions about Russian interference. Governor Newsom of California even pledged allegiance to China during a visit, raising concerns about his loyalty to the United States.
Daily Wire: WATCH: John Kirby Grilled Over Biden Praising Qatar While They Harbor Hamas Terrorist Leaders
The White House press conference focused on President Biden's praise of Qatar, a nation that shelters top terrorist leaders from Hamas. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned why Biden would thank Qatar when one of the leaders of Hamas resides there. The Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, John Kirby, defended the decision, claiming Qatar's communication lines with Hamas were valuable for hostage release efforts. However, Doocy argued that if Qatar is truly helpful, they should hand over the terrorist leader.
National Review: Blumenthal, Ernst Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Force Biden Administration to Enforce Iranian Oil Sanctions
Senators Blumenthal and Ernst have introduced a bill empowering Homeland Security to enforce oil sanctions against Iran, which has increased its oil revenue by $80 billion since 2021. The bill would create a fund for enforcing the sanctions and authorize a one-time investment of $150 million. If signed, it would also codify into law an executive order creating the Export Coordination Enforcement Center.
