Fox News: China denies new report linking CCP to four sites in Cuba allegedly used to spy on the US
China has denied allegations of operating four spy bases in Cuba, as reported by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Chinese officials claim their cooperation with Cuba is transparent and not aimed at the U.S., while Cuban officials label the reports as false and politically motivated.
CSIS identified four sites in Cuba with upgrades suggesting potential signal intelligence capabilities. One notable site, Bejucal, has been linked to Chinese intelligence for years and could monitor U.S. rocket launches. The growing China-Cuba alliance raises concerns about espionage activities targeting the U.S.

Timmerman described his prison experience as relatively benign, contrasting it with reports of severe human rights abuses in Assad's facilities. The U.S. government is aware of his situation but has not disclosed further actions regarding his identity verification or the broader implications of the regime's collapse.

Human Events: MIKE WACKER: The ‘experts’ were wrong on TikTok
The DC Circuit Court upheld a law requiring the Chinese Communist Party to divest TikTok, dismissing claims from free speech experts that the law was unconstitutional. The court found that the law is content-neutral and meets the standard for intermediate scrutiny, contrary to expert predictions.
Experts mischaracterized the law as a ban on TikTok, overlooking its divest-first approach. Additionally, the court acknowledged national security concerns, citing evidence presented by the government. The ruling highlights the gap between expert opinion and legal realities.

The American Mind: Abolishing the Department of Education Is Not the Answer
Education reformers are advocating for significant changes to the U.S. Department of Education, suggesting it should be streamlined rather than completely abolished. They propose retaining four core functions—Title I funding, special education, Pell Grants, and student loans—while eliminating waste and unnecessary programs.
To achieve meaningful reform, the focus should be on accountability and efficiency, with potential transfers of certain programs to other departments. The Office for Civil Rights should be scaled down and its powers limited. Only after these reforms are implemented should the discussion of the Department's future take place.

Senator Elizabeth Warren faced backlash for comments she made regarding the assassination of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. During an MSNBC appearance, she suggested that while violence is never justified, individuals can be pushed to take matters into their own hands, which many interpreted as a tacit endorsement of violence.
Warren later attempted to clarify her remarks, stating that there is no justification for murder, but critics argue her original statements provided a context for violence. Forbes Media Chairman Steve Forbes condemned her comments as indicative of a moral decline on the left, emphasizing that such rhetoric could incite further violence.

The Western Journal: Lawmaker Introduces Legislation Targeting Viral Football Celebration: Would Slap College Players with Felony Charge
Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams has proposed the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act, which would make it a felony to plant a flag at Ohio State University's football field during games. This follows an incident where Michigan players planted their flag after a victory, sparking a brawl.
Williams aims to address what he sees as a growing trend of unsportsmanlike conduct in college football. However, the bill is unlikely to pass before the current legislative session ends. Critics argue that labeling such behavior as a felony is excessive and reminiscent of actions by “woke” Democrats.
