The Federalist: Weiss Slams Biden After Hunter Escapes Most Serious Charges

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir faced backlash after claiming he thwarted a hostage-ceasefire deal with Hamas, urging Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join him in opposing a new agreement. Critics, including relatives of hostages, accused him of prioritizing political gain over the lives of captives.
Ben Gvir warned that the proposed deal would endanger Israeli security by rehabilitating terror groups and failing to secure the release of all hostages. Despite their opposition, the Netanyahu coalition may still support the deal, as it reportedly does not require a Knesset vote.

Forbes: As The Fires Rage, California’s Governor And A Billionaire Couple Get The Blame
Wildfires in Los Angeles, particularly the Palisades and Eaton Fires, have overwhelmed the city's water supply system, draining fire hydrants as firefighters struggle to contain the blazes. Misconceptions about a water shortage persist, despite reservoirs being full; the issue lies in outdated emergency infrastructure.
Political blame has been cast, notably towards California Governor Gavin Newsom and the Resnick couple, who control significant water resources. However, experts emphasize that the fires are a result of climate extremes and not directly linked to water ownership. Solutions require rethinking water storage and management strategies.

The Federalist: 8 Funeral Hymns Infinitely Better Than Jimmy Carter's 'Imagine'
President Carter's funeral included traditional Christian elements but controversially featured Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood singing John Lennon's "Imagine," a song that contradicts the Christian message of eternal life. Critics argue that such secular music has no place in a service meant to honor a Christian's faith and the promise of resurrection.
Funeral services should focus on the hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ rather than personal preferences. The author suggests that hymns celebrating Christ's victory over death would be more appropriate, emphasizing the need for music that uplifts and reassures mourners of their faith.

The Federalist: Removing Incentives To Lower Drug Prices Isn't Pharma 'Reform'
The recent omnibus spending bill, intended to fund the federal government, has been criticized for including special interest provisions.

Despite this setback, delinking legislation is expected to resurface, backed by bipartisan support, including influential Republicans. Critics argue that its passage would lead to higher drug prices and increased costs for taxpayers and Medicare beneficiaries, undermining efforts to reduce pharmaceutical spending.
