The Western Journal: Two Birds, One Stone: Congressman Reveals Simple Way to Cut Border Crossings and Welfare Spending
Rep. Thomas Massie proposes implementing work requirements for able-bodied individuals on welfare to reduce both welfare spending and illegal immigration. He argues that this approach would lower the deficit, decrease demand for illegal labor, and boost national productivity.
Massie highlights that a significant number of able-bodied adults receive substantial welfare benefits, which he claims negatively impacts the economy and encourages reliance on illegal immigrant labor. He asserts that enforcing work requirements could lead to more Americans entering the workforce and reduce taxpayer expenses.

Front Page Magazine: The Soft Bigotry of Impossibly High Expectations
There is a growing expectation that Israel's intelligence agencies, such as Mossad, can single-handedly defeat threats from groups like Hamas and Hezbollah without the need for ground forces. This perspective places unrealistic standards on Israel, suggesting it should conduct operations with minimal civilian casualties, which ignores the complexities of warfare and the tactics used by terrorist organizations.
Critics, including media figures, imply that Israel should rely solely on targeted strikes rather than utilizing its military. However, the reality is that defeating entrenched enemies requires ground operations to address threats effectively. While intelligence operations are commendable, they cannot replace the need for a comprehensive military approach in ensuring Israel's security.
