The Federalist: Dismantling The Deep State Begins On Day One Of Trump 2.0
President Trump has swiftly moved to replace career diplomats as part of his plan to dismantle the "deep state," with reports indicating that John Bass, a senior State Department official, is among those departing. Lisa Kenna has been named acting Secretary of State until Marco Rubio's confirmation.

His approach aims to remove diplomats who do not align with his administration's objectives.

GB News: 'Terrorism has changed!' Keir Starmer warns that the UK faces 'new threat' of extreme violence
Keir Starmer has highlighted a "new threat" in Britain as terrorism shifts from organized groups to lone actors radicalized online. Following the murder of three young girls by Axel Rudakubana, he emphasized the importance of justice and the need to assess whether the incident qualifies as a terrorist attack.
Starmer noted that while traditional terrorist threats like Al Qaeda persist, the rise of individuals driven by a desire for notoriety poses a significant challenge. These acts of extreme violence are often inspired by online content rather than clear political motives.

Breitbart: NYT's Brooks: Trump Gave Distrustful Americans 'Concrete' Policies
David Brooks noted that President Trump's Inaugural Address aimed to resonate with a distrustful American public by focusing on concrete achievements rather than lofty rhetoric. He remarked that while some policies may be more popular than Trump himself, the address echoed themes of American expansionism and historical milestones.
Brooks also highlighted the absence of mention of China, suggesting that the administration's approach to foreign policy, particularly regarding Taiwan and AI competition, could significantly influence America's future trajectory.

Three Israeli hostages have been freed amid a cease-fire, while reports indicate that captured terrorists confessed to holding captives at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a raid on the hospital, arresting around 240 terrorists and uncovering weapons and tactical equipment.
International organizations, including the WHO, have been criticized for not condemning Hamas's alleged use of hospitals for military purposes.

Hamas denies using hospitals for military operations, claiming that Israel has not provided credible evidence for its accusations.
Times Of Israel: Hamas confirms 4 female hostages to be released on Saturday, without naming them
Hamas announced the release of four Israeli female hostages on Saturday as part of a ceasefire deal, which will also see the release of Palestinian prisoners. The details of the hostages' identities and the conditions of their release remain uncertain, with ongoing negotiations.
Additionally, Russian-Israeli hostage Sasha Trufanov is expected to be released within weeks, although his health is reportedly compromised. The ceasefire agreement outlines a phased release of hostages, contingent on Hamas adhering to the terms.

The Telegraph: Putin’s Navy is building ships for war in the Arctic. Trump’s Greenland bid might be in trouble
The Russian navy is focusing on Arctic capabilities, commissioning three new ships in 2024 specifically designed for Arctic missions, including a nuclear-powered icebreaker and an armed patrol ship. This reflects a strategic shift as climate change opens new maritime routes and resources in the region.
Despite a struggling shipbuilding industry, Russia maintains the world's largest icebreaker fleet and is enhancing its Arctic military presence. In contrast, the U.S. and U.K. have limited icebreaker capabilities and face challenges in matching Russia's armed ice-class vessels.

Fox News: Medical schools 'skirting' SCOTUS ruling rejecting race in admissions: report
A report by Do No Harm (DNH) claims that some medical schools are bypassing a 2023 Supreme Court ruling that prohibits race-based admissions practices. The organization highlights that despite the ruling, certain institutions continue to implement affirmative action policies, raising concerns about racial favoritism in medical education.
The report indicates that some schools, such as Quinnipiac and Duke, have increased the admission rates of Black and Hispanic students beyond their representation in the applicant pool. DNH suggests that these trends reflect ongoing racial discrimination in admissions, despite the Supreme Court's decision.

On The Water: Slow-Pitch Jigging Basics
Slow-pitch jigging has gained traction among anglers over the past decade, targeting both bottom-dwelling and mid-water species. This technique uses asymmetrical, center-weighted jigs that mimic injured baitfish, making them effective for species like haddock, cod, and tuna.
The success of slow-pitch jigging relies on specialized tackle, including lightweight rods and specific jig designs that vary in shape and weight based on fishing conditions. Anglers can choose from short pitch jigs for inshore fishing and long pitch jigs for deeper waters, enhancing their chances of catching a variety of fish.
