Forbes: Can Trump Run Again In 2028? No—Despite Bannon’s Suggestion
Steve Bannon suggested that Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing that the Constitution does not specify that terms must be consecutive. However, the 22nd Amendment clearly limits any individual to two elected terms, with no exceptions for non-consecutive terms.
Experts, including law professor Michael McConnell, assert there are no loopholes to bypass this amendment. Trump himself has indicated that 2024 may be his last campaign, although he has previously joked about finding a way to run again.

This confidence vote marks only the sixth occurrence in postwar Germany, highlighting the rarity of such political maneuvers.
Fox News: Judges backing out of retirement ahead of Trump term leave GOP senators fuming
Following Donald Trump's 2024 election victory, some federal judges have decided to remain in their positions instead of moving to senior status, which would have allowed Trump to appoint replacements. This has sparked backlash from Senate Republicans, particularly Sen. Thom Tillis, who criticized the judges for their perceived partisanship.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also condemned these actions, suggesting they undermine the judicial retirement system's integrity. He indicated that the incoming administration should consider recusal options for these judges, emphasizing that their decisions reflect a political bias.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called for enhanced drone detection systems in the region, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding the sightings. New York Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed that federal partners are deploying advanced drone detection technology to address these concerns.

In New Jersey and several other states, citizens have reported clusters of unidentified drones flying low at night, prompting state officials to seek answers from federal agencies. President-elect Donald Trump suggested that the government knows more than it is revealing and called for action against the drones.

Times Of Israel: IAF planes paint ribbons in skies in apparent nod to hostages
On Monday, large contrail ribbons appeared in the skies over Israel, interpreted as a symbol of support for hostages held in Gaza. The Israeli Air Force attributed the phenomenon to routine operations but is investigating whether it was a rogue stunt.

Breitbart: Report: CNN May Have Been Duped By Fake ‘Syrian Prisoner’
CNN's Clarissa Ward reported on a supposed "forgotten prisoner" in Syria, claiming he had been abandoned by the Assad regime. However, an independent news service later identified him as a Syrian intelligence officer, Salama Mohammad Salama, who allegedly staged the encounter for sympathy.
Critics accused CNN of failing to verify the man's identity and pointed out inconsistencies in his story, such as his physical condition after purportedly being deprived of food and water. CNN is now investigating the claims and defending its reporting, stating the events were captured as they unfolded.
The Telegraph: Those who put trust in the Hamas casualty figures should hang their heads in shame
A report by Andrew Fox reveals that casualty figures from the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry are significantly inflated, misleadingly portraying the IDF as targeting civilians. Fox's analysis shows that many deaths attributed to civilians were misclassified, with a majority being fighting-aged men.
The media's reliance on these figures has been criticized, with 84% of articles failing to differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths. This has led to a distorted narrative about Israel's military actions, raising concerns about the integrity of trusted news sources.

Forbes: Japan’s SoftBank Pledges $100 Billion—And 100,000 Jobs— To US For Trump’s Second Term
SoftBank Group announced a $100 billion investment in U.S. projects, particularly in AI, during President-elect Donald Trump's second term. CEO Masayoshi Son stated the initiative aims to create approximately 100,000 jobs in related industries, doubling a previous commitment made in 2016.
While the earlier $50 billion pledge was largely fulfilled, tracking job creation proved challenging. Son's confidence in AI's future aligns with a broader optimism among tech leaders regarding American industry under Trump's leadership.
Fox News: Economic experts pan Hochul’s ‘inflationary’ ‘inflation refunds’: ‘Not difficult math’
New York Governor Kathy Hochul's proposal for $3 billion in "inflation refunds" has faced criticism from economic experts. The plan aims to provide direct payments of $300 to single taxpayers and $500 to joint filers, funded by increased sales tax revenues. Critics argue this approach merely redistributes money to gain voter favor rather than address underlying economic issues.
Economists suggest that reducing sales tax would be a more effective solution to help residents, while concerns about inflation being exacerbated by government spending were raised. Some experts warn that such payments could lead to a cycle of increased government expenditures and higher taxes, ultimately failing to alleviate the cost of living for New Yorkers.
