Fox News: Trump Energy Sec pick to share American 'energy dominance' vision at confirmation hearing: 'Agent for change'
Chris Wright, President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Energy, plans to emphasize restoring American energy dominance during his confirmation hearing. He aims to enhance energy production, lead in technological innovation, and streamline project approvals to reduce costs.
Wright, a fossil fuel executive, will outline his vision for energy policy, focusing on expanding U.S. oil and gas production and managing the nation's nuclear stockpile. He has indicated he will resign from his position at Liberty Energy if confirmed.
The Federalist: Biden Is Unpopular Because Of Bad Policies, Not Bad Messaging
In a recent interview, President Biden attributed his administration's failures to not taking enough credit for its accomplishments, suggesting that voters misunderstand the benefits of his policies. This reflects a longstanding Democratic tendency to blame public perception rather than policy unpopularity for electoral losses.
Biden's comments highlight a disconnect with working-class voters, who have increasingly deserted the party. The article argues that the real issue lies in the impact of Biden's policies, particularly the inflation resulting from government spending, rather than in messaging or public understanding.

Times Of Israel: Get them all home
Farhan al-Qadi, the latest Israeli hostage rescued by the IDF, was freed from a Hamas tunnel in late August after over 10 months in captivity. Despite his ordeal, he returned home in good health and provided valuable information to Israeli officials.
As Israel continues efforts to secure the release of remaining hostages, many have been held for significantly longer periods, raising concerns about their conditions. Questions persist regarding the Israeli government's handling of the situation and the potential for future conflicts with Hamas.
The Federalist: Ohio Law Stops Teachers From Talking About Sex In Secret
Ohio's "Parents’ Bill of Rights," signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine, mandates public schools to enhance parental involvement, especially regarding sexuality and religion. Schools must provide parents access to instructional materials, notify them of changes in their child's well-being, and obtain consent for health services.
Opponents argue the bill endangers LGBTQ+ youth by requiring schools to inform parents of a child's gender identity requests. Supporters assert that parental rights are essential for children's well-being and decision-making, emphasizing that parents, not government officials, should guide their children's education and health.

GB News: Hamas accepts draft ceasefire deal as remaining hostages set to be released
Hamas has accepted a draft ceasefire agreement aimed at releasing Israeli hostages and concluding the ongoing conflict with Israel. Negotiations are reportedly in the final stages, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken indicating that an agreement is closer than ever.
The deal would involve the phased release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, and Israeli military withdrawal from certain areas. Almost 100 Israeli hostages are still believed to be held in Gaza, with many at risk of being lost.
The Federalist: Yes, Trump's Bold Greenland Plan Could Actually Work
President-elect Donald Trump's proposal to explore a closer relationship with Greenland highlights potential geopolitical advantages, particularly concerning Arctic resources and national security. Greenland's strategic location and wealth in rare earth metals could bolster U.S. interests amid rising competition from Russia and China.
International law supports the idea of territories choosing their future, as seen in Greenland's self-governance and rights under Danish law. A partnership could take various forms, potentially enhancing American security while respecting Greenland's autonomy.

Fox News: Experts sound alarm on Biden's offshore drilling ban having reverse effect on environment: 'Disgraceful'
President Biden has enacted an executive order banning new offshore oil and gas drilling, impacting over 625 million acres of U.S. coastal waters. While he argues this move protects the environment, experts warn it could harm conservation efforts and the economy by jeopardizing funding from oil royalties.
Critics, including conservation advocates, argue that the ban could undermine the Land & Water Conservation Fund, which relies on oil and gas revenues. They also express concern that reducing domestic drilling may increase dependence on foreign oil from countries with lower environmental standards.

Fox News: New GOP bill seeks to hold private universities to same tax standard as corporations: 'On notice'
A GOP lawmaker aims to raise taxes on private university endowment profits to match the corporate tax rate of 21%. Rep. Troy Nehls' Endowment Tax Fairness Act would increase the current 1.4% tax on endowment earnings, directing revenue to the federal budget to help reduce the national deficit.
The proposed tax targets elite institutions with substantial endowments, including Harvard and Yale, that exceed specific asset thresholds. Nehls argues this change is necessary as these universities currently pay significantly lower taxes than average Americans, despite rising tuition costs.

Fox News: Family attorney of fraternity pledge left debilitated from hazing cheers new law as good start but not enough
The Santulli family is celebrating the passage of the Stop Campus Hazing Act, signed by President Biden, which mandates annual hazing statistics from universities and requires anti-hazing programs. This legislation follows the severe injury of Danny Santulli during a fraternity hazing incident in 2021.
Danny Santulli suffered catastrophic injuries, including blindness and paralysis, after a hazing ritual at the University of Missouri. His family is advocating for further measures, including "Danny's Law," which would provide immunity for students who report hazing incidents to authorities.
