Times Of Israel: Lebanon’s Shiites increasingly reject role of scapegoat in Hezbollah’s war on Israel
Hezbollah's leadership, under Naim Qassem, is perceived by some, including Lebanese commentator Ahmad Yassine, as having capitulated militarily amid ongoing Israeli strikes. Over 1.4 million people have fled their homes due to the conflict, exacerbating Lebanon's economic collapse, which has already left 44% of the population in poverty.
The mass displacement threatens to reignite sectarian tensions, with fears of a new civil war as Shiites move into areas dominated by other religious groups. While Hezbollah attempts to maintain support through financial aid and reconstruction promises, dissent within the Shiite community is growing, with calls for disarmament and state control.
GB News: 'Crackpot' nanny state plot to slap cigarette-style health warnings on chocolate bars and crisps

Critics, including Chris Snowdon, label the initiative as "crackpot" and a "nanny state" overreach, arguing it ignores public opinion and economic implications. The Labour party has denied any plans to implement such measures.
Fox News: NYC elementary school blasted for teaching 'gender identity' course to kindergarteners
Hillside Elementary School in New York City has faced backlash for teaching a gender identity curriculum to kindergartners. The course aims to promote inclusion by introducing children to terms like "cisgender," "transgender," and "non-binary" through discussions and visual aids.
The school district asserts that the lessons, which occur once a year for 30 minutes, align with their core values of respect and dignity. Critics argue that the focus on gender identity distracts from essential academic skills. The curriculum description was removed from the school’s website after it gained attention online.

On The Water: Choosing a Surf Rod
Surfcasters often face the challenge of choosing the right rod for various fishing techniques and locations. While many dream of specialized rods for every situation, practicality leads most to opt for generalist rods that can perform well across different conditions. Preferences vary, with some favoring shorter rods for ease of use and maneuverability, while others prefer longer rods for better line control and casting distance.
The action of the rod—how it flexes—plays a crucial role in its performance. Fast-action rods are ideal for lighter lures, while moderate-action rods offer versatility for a range of baits and better fish-fighting capability. Ultimately, familiarity with a chosen rod can enhance fishing success, emphasizing that the skill of the angler often outweighs the tools used.
