Times Of Israel: Thousands celebrate in Damascus after first Friday prayers since fall of Assad regime
Thousands of Syrians celebrated in Damascus' Umayyad Square after the fall of former President Bashar al-Assad, marking the first Friday prayers since the regime's collapse. Ahmad al-Sharaa, leader of the insurgency, urged the public to express joy peacefully and emphasized the need for unity in rebuilding the nation.
The gathering reflected hopes for a new, inclusive government, free from corruption and sectarianism. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed the situation with Turkey, advocating for an interim government that protects minority rights and promotes stability while addressing terrorism concerns.
The Federalist: Media Ignored Would-Be Trump Killers But Obsess Over Mangione
The media has focused extensively on Luigi Mangione, the accused assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, highlighting his affluent background and personal history. In contrast, there has been minimal coverage of Thomas Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, raising questions about media priorities and biases.
While Mangione's story garners attention for its sensational elements, the media's lack of inquiry into Crooks’ motives reflects a selective approach that may obscure significant political narratives. This disparity suggests a troubling trend in how stories are reported based on perceived public interest rather than their broader implications.

The Telegraph: Whatever happens in Syria now, at least Assad’s murderous terrorist Air Force is gone
Israeli airstrikes have significantly damaged the Syrian Arab Air Force (SAAF), a key enforcer of Bashar Al-Assad's regime, which has a history of terror against civilians. The remnants of the SAAF, tied to decades of repression, should not be salvaged but dismantled completely.
Any new government in Syria must ensure that the remnants of the SAAF, including its leadership and intelligence branches, are held accountable for past atrocities. The focus should be on justice and the establishment of a new air force that does not carry the legacy of the Al-Assad regime.

Fox News: Think you're safe? Identity theft could wipe out your entire life’s savings
Identity theft is a growing concern in the U.S., with American adults losing $43 billion to fraud in 2023. Older adults, particularly those over 60, face the highest financial losses, as they often have more assets and are less vigilant in monitoring their accounts.
To combat this issue, individuals are encouraged to adopt proactive measures such as regularly monitoring accounts, using strong passwords, and considering identity theft protection services. Awareness of red flags and taking preventive steps can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to identity theft.

On The Water: Surfcasting for December Stripers
December fishing for stripers can vary greatly, with some years ending early due to cold temperatures while others allow fishing until New Year's Eve. Anglers are advised to gear up for frigid conditions, as warmer water can still attract fish even in winter.
The fishing season in New Jersey closes after midnight on New Year's to protect resident striped bass. Late-season fishing can yield good catches, especially in back bays where fish seek deeper waters. This time of year offers a chance for reflection on fishing experiences before the winter break.

Forbes: Trump Transition Team Wants To End Crash Report Requirement Opposed By Tesla, Report Says
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is advocating for the elimination of a regulatory order that mandates automakers report crashes involving vehicles with automated driving systems. This aligns with Tesla's opposition to the rule, which has resulted in the majority of reported crashes.

Tesla has criticized the NHTSA's data presentation regarding crash safety comparisons, while the Alliance for Automotive Innovation has also expressed concerns about the reporting methods used.
