Breitbart: Reich: We Can Either Have a Few Billionaires or a Democracy, 'But We Can’t Have Both'
Robert Reich stated that democracy is threatened by the concentration of wealth among a few individuals, particularly billionaires. He highlighted that their influence in politics, especially during the Trump administration, leads to favorable conditions for their financial gains, undermining democratic principles.
Reich referenced Elon Musk's significant financial contributions to Trump's campaign and the resulting increase in his wealth, suggesting that such dynamics create a system where the interests of the wealthy overshadow those of the general populace.
Human Events: JACK POSOBIEC: It’s time for Liz Cheney to face reciprocity
Jack Posobiec emphasized the need for equal justice, criticizing perceived double standards in accountability, particularly regarding Liz Cheney's alleged collusion with witnesses during the January 6 committee hearings. He called for an investigation into her actions, highlighting the inconsistency in how lawmakers are treated.
Posobiec and others argue that if the committee acted unlawfully, those involved should face consequences, just as Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro did for defying subpoenas. The discussion raises questions about potential pardons for committee members and the fairness of the justice system.
Fox News: GOP senator moves to block feds from disposing of border wall materials amid auction backlash
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) is introducing legislation to prevent the federal government from disposing of border wall materials, amid controversy over their auctioning by the Biden administration. The bill aims to block federal funds from being used to dismantle or sell any border wall segments.
The Biden administration halted border wall construction in January 2021, leading to the auctioning of excess materials. Hagerty's proposal would override existing laws, including the National Defense Authorization Act, which has allowed for the sale of these materials.
The Western Journal: Biden's Statement on Wisconsin Christian School Shooting Contains Two Major Problems
President Biden's response to the school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, has drawn criticism for being politically charged rather than focused on the tragedy itself. While he expressed condolences, he quickly pivoted to advocate for stricter gun control measures, which some argue is disingenuous given his recent pardons related to gun charges involving his son.
Critics highlight that Biden's calls for legislation, such as universal background checks and an assault weapons ban, may not address the realities of the shooting, as the alleged shooter was a minor who could not legally obtain a firearm. This has led to accusations of fear-mongering and undermining the Second Amendment.
Fox News: RFK Jr. says he plans to also meet with Dems in bid to get confirmed as Trump HHS head

Kennedy Jr. is seeking support from Senate Democrats and Republicans for his nomination as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in President-elect Trump's administration. Kennedy, who previously ran for president, has begun meetings with lawmakers but has not specified which Democrats he plans to meet.
His confirmation may face challenges due to his controversial views on vaccines, agriculture, and abortion, which raise concerns among both parties. The dynamics of Senate support remain uncertain as Kennedy attempts to build a coalition to secure his position.
