Fox News: How to thief-proof your Christmas decorations
The theft of holiday decorations has become a growing concern for homeowners, as illustrated by a Los Angeles resident's experience. This issue not only involves property loss but also diminishes the festive spirit and personal effort put into decorations.
To combat this, technology such as Samsung SmartTags and Apple AirTags can help track stolen items. Homeowners are encouraged to enhance security with motion-activated cameras, secure decorations physically, and engage with neighbors to deter theft.

Fox News: To win without war, State Department reform is necessary
The U.S. government often prioritizes relationships with foreign governments over their people, which can legitimize oppressive regimes. This approach can demoralize citizens and hinder their aspirations for political change.
President Trump has an opportunity to shift this focus by establishing a U.S. Public Diplomacy Agency to enhance connections with oppressed populations. This agency should prioritize effective messaging that promotes American values and counters totalitarian narratives, fostering a more engaged and supportive foreign policy.

The Telegraph: Taxes will need to rise by £20bn a year for Britain to meet Nato defence spending target of 3pc
Rachel Reeves faces the challenge of finding an additional £20 billion annually for the UK to meet a proposed NATO defense spending target of 3% of GDP. This could mean raising income tax by 2p or cutting spending equivalent to the entire Energy Department's budget.
Currently, the UK aims to increase military spending to 2.5%, but no timeline has been set. The existing NATO target of 2% was established in 2014, yet many member states still do not comply. Discussions about raising the target to 3% may occur at the upcoming NATO summit in The Hague next summer.

In response, Israel conducted airstrikes targeting weapons depots and terror operatives, resulting in civilian casualties, including a woman and her baby. The IDF emphasized efforts to minimize civilian harm, asserting that Hamas operates from civilian areas, complicating military operations.
