Le Monde: North Korea's calculated silence after failure of martial law in South Korea
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol justified his martial law declaration on December 3, citing threats from North Korea. Although Parliament rejected the measure, Yoon aimed to protect the nation from perceived pro-North Korean forces. Special forces were reportedly deployed amid concerns of infiltration.
In the wake of Yoon's attempted power grab, North Korea has remained silent, possibly to observe the political turmoil in the South without provoking a unified response. Intelligence suggests that the North's leaders conducted urgent meetings following the martial law declaration, indicating that the North Korean threat may have been a pretext for Yoon's actions.
Fox News: Federal judge who refuses mental evaluation at age 97 fights suspension
Judge Pauline Newman, at 97, is appealing her suspension from the bench due to alleged mental unfitness, which her colleagues claim stems from a lack of cooperation in an investigation. She argues that she remains mentally sharp and has received independent evaluations supporting her fitness to serve.
Newman, appointed by Reagan in 1985, has faced accusations of significant mental deterioration and a backlog of cases. Her legal team contends the suspension is unconstitutional and threatens judicial independence, while she seeks to unseal documents related to the investigation.
Fox News: Biden, Democrats back away from bill that would give Trump more federal judges to appoint
President Biden and key Democrats are now opposing the bipartisan "JUDGES Act of 2024," which would authorize 63 new permanent district judgeships, citing concerns over timing and political motivations. The bill passed the Senate in August but was not voted on in the House before the election.
Democrats argue that the bill's provisions would allow President-elect Trump to fill 21 judgeships, which they view as politically motivated. The White House has indicated that Biden would veto the bill, claiming it is unnecessary for judicial efficiency and raises questions about judicial economy.

Fox News: Biden admin extends $10B Iran sanctions waiver 2 days after Trump election win
The Biden administration has renewed a sanctions waiver allowing Iran access to $10 billion in payments from Iraq for humanitarian trade, despite Republican criticism that this enables Iran to fund terrorism and its nuclear program. This waiver, extended for the 23rd time since 2018, is set to expire after the Trump administration takes office.
Republicans argue that these waivers undermine U.S. national security by providing the Iranian regime with resources to support proxy terror groups. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul has called for the elimination of these waiver authorities, asserting that the Biden administration's actions are detrimental to U.S. interests.
