Breitbart: Exclusive: Poll Proves Wide Majority of Americans Reject Celebrity Endorsements
A new Rasmussen poll indicates that 75% of Americans believe celebrity endorsements do not influence their voting decisions, posing a challenge for Democrats who rely on Hollywood figures to attract young voters. Notably, 80% of liberal respondents also dismissed these endorsements.
Despite a strong push from celebrities for Kamala Harris during her campaign, including costly events and endorsements from high-profile figures, the strategy did not yield the desired results, as she lost to Donald Trump, who secured all seven swing states.
Fox News: Blue state gun crackdown called out as threat to law-abiding owners
Colorado has implemented a 6.5% excise tax on gun and ammunition sales, which critics argue will hinder self-defense efforts and disproportionately affect small gun businesses. Proponents claim the tax will fund mental health and public safety initiatives, particularly for domestic violence victims.
Opponents, including local officials and gun store owners, contend the tax is a tactic to reduce gun ownership and criminalize law-abiding citizens. They argue that the burden of compliance and costs will ultimately disadvantage those needing firearms for personal protection.

Bill Maher and Neil deGrasse Tyson engaged in a heated debate on Maher's show regarding transgender athletes and the editorial stance of Scientific American. Maher criticized the magazine's assertion that gender inequity in sports is due to societal bias rather than biological differences, which he deemed unscientific.
Tyson defended the magazine's integrity, arguing that Maher should not generalize based on the views of a former editor. The exchange highlighted a broader conflict within liberal circles about the implications of scientific discourse and its influence on political outcomes.
The American Mind: The Libs Are Not Alright
Following Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris, many young leftists are reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis, with clients expressing distress related to the election. Therapists note a shift in focus from personal issues to political fears, indicating a troubling external locus of control.
This trend suggests that societal rhetoric around Trump has exacerbated anxiety and depression among these individuals. The prevailing narrative of victimhood and dependence may hinder their healing, leading to setbacks in mental health progress. The impact of political discourse on mental well-being warrants attention.
Front Page Magazine: AP: All Americans Suck Except for Black Women
The AP faces criticism for framing a narrative that suggests black women are stepping back from activism due to feeling betrayed by increased minority support for Trump. This perspective is seen as divisive and dismissive of broader societal dynamics.
Activists like LaTosha Brown express a desire to prioritize their own well-being over a nation they feel has been indifferent to their concerns. The conversation raises questions about the motivations behind activism and the implications of stepping back from social justice efforts.
Fox News: New study finds DEI initiatives creating 'hostile attribution bias'
Research from the Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University indicates that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training methods may lead to increased hostility and punitive attitudes among participants. The study suggests that exposure to DEI materials can foster unwarranted perceptions of racial bias and authoritarian behavior.
The findings raise concerns about the effectiveness of DEI programs, which have seen significant investment, with $8 billion spent annually. Critics argue that these programs may exacerbate tensions rather than alleviate them, potentially harming individuals and workplaces.
GB News: New 'common sense' guidance issued for non-crime hate incidents as police logged more than 13,000 last year
New guidance from the Home Office will instruct police to record non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) only when there is a clear risk to community tensions, aiming to reduce trivial cases that waste police resources. Over 13,000 NCHIs were logged last year, leading to calls for a more consistent approach.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasizes the need for effective tracking of antisemitism and Islamophobia, while a report estimates that NCHIs consume over 60,000 police hours annually. The Policy Exchange think tank advocates for the abolition of NCHI recording due to inconsistencies and distractions from crime-fighting duties.

Russia is reportedly recruiting Yemeni men to fight in Ukraine, using false promises of jobs and citizenship, in collaboration with the Houthi network. Many recruits are coerced into military service under duress, with reports of poor training and high casualty rates.

Human Events: AVI ABELOW: The Trump administration is poised to deliver a long-term version of ‘America First’
The Trump administration is poised to implement an "America First" strategy that emphasizes strong alliances, particularly with Israel, while rejecting isolationism. With control over Congress, Trump's appointments signal a commitment to a values-driven foreign policy that prioritizes American interests and security.
Critics of the current administration argue that "America Last" policies weaken both the U.S. and its allies, making them more vulnerable to threats. A robust partnership with Israel is framed as essential for maintaining American strength and safeguarding freedoms, as a secure Israel acts as a deterrent against adversaries.
Le Monde: Pope slams conflicts in Ukraine and Palestinian territories

The Federalist: Americans Must Not Confuse 'Healthier' With 'Healthy'
The discussion around food health in America highlights the confusion between "healthier" and "healthy." While some processed foods may be deemed better, they do not equate to health foods. The industrialization of food and low-fat diets have contributed significantly to obesity and chronic diseases.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has emerged as a prominent critic of food additives, particularly in cereals like Froot Loops, which he claims are harmful to children. As he seeks confirmation for the role of Health and Human Services secretary, there are calls for a review of the FDA's safety standards for food additives, alongside proposals to reform federal food policies.
