The Federalist: Republicans Won. Mike Johnson Should Start Acting Like It
On November 5, voters expressed a desire for reduced bureaucracy and spending, leading to a Republican victory. However, the recent 1,547-page spending bill released by congressional leaders reflects business as usual, filled with wasteful projects and a pay raise for Congress.
Critics argue that Republicans should prioritize disaster relief in a standalone bill rather than compromise with Democrats on spending levels set by previous leadership. There is a call for Republicans to unite behind a conservative agenda that aligns with voter priorities and eliminates wasteful spending.
Fox News: Johnson hit with possible speakership rivals as conservatives rebel over government funding plan
House GOP members are expressing dissatisfaction with Speaker Mike Johnson's handling of government funding discussions, leading to speculation about potential challengers like Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Jim Jordan, and Byron Donalds. Critics are particularly frustrated with the recent continuing resolution, which includes various unrelated policy provisions.
Despite the dissent, Johnson maintains support from a significant faction of Republicans, including backing from President Trump. He asserts that the current funding plan is necessary to avoid a government shutdown and believes that Republicans will be in a stronger position for future negotiations.
Fox News: CR to fund State Department agency accused of censoring, blacklisting Americans
The Global Engagement Center (GEC), under scrutiny for allegedly blacklisting Americans and media outlets, is set to receive funding in the upcoming continuing resolution bill. Despite the State Department's claim that it would shut down the agency, the bill includes provisions for its continuation.
Critics, including Elon Musk and journalist Matt Taibbi, have accused the GEC of censorship and manipulation, particularly during the pandemic. A lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges that the GEC has violated First Amendment rights by targeting conservative media.
The Federalist: Omnibus Redefines Criminals As 'Justice-Involved Individuals'
The new House omnibus bill proposes to redefine terms related to crime, replacing "criminal offenders" with "justice-involved individuals" and altering other descriptions to downplay criminal behavior. This shift aims to support a softer approach to crime, reflecting a broader trend in legislative language.
Critics argue that such euphemisms serve to obscure the reality of crime and undermine accountability, potentially facilitating a lenient stance on violent offenders. The bill's extensive provisions, laden with funding for various federal projects, have raised concerns about transparency and priorities in government spending.

Fox News: Hamas' Gaza death toll questioned as new report says its led to 'widespread inaccuracies and distortion'
A report by the Henry Jackson Society reveals significant inaccuracies in casualty figures reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, suggesting that media outlets often disseminate these inflated numbers without adequate scrutiny. The analysis indicates that the ministry's data collection processes are flawed, leading to a misleading portrayal of the conflict.
The study highlights discrepancies in casualty reporting, including misclassification of individuals and the failure to account for natural deaths. It asserts that the ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians, with estimates suggesting a high number of Hamas fighters among the reported casualties. Despite these concerns, the majority of media sources rely on the ministry's figures, often neglecting to question their reliability.
The Western Journal: It's Time to Worry: House Foreign Affairs Chair Confirms Worst Fears on NJ Drones, Says It’s China
House Foreign Affairs Chair Rep. Michael McCaul expressed concerns that recent drone sightings over New Jersey, particularly near military installations, are likely linked to Communist China. He emphasized the need for transparency from the U.S. government regarding the origins of these drones, which he suspects are spy devices.
While some speculate other sources, such as Iran, McCaul's assertion raises alarms about potential Chinese espionage. The lack of clarity from the Biden administration has fueled public distrust, a sentiment that may have contributed to Donald Trump's electoral success. Transparency is essential to restore confidence in government operations.

Forbes: The World’s Highest-Paid Female Athletes 2024
In a notable milestone, 11 women surpassed $10 million in earnings in 2024, with Coco Gauff leading the pack at $34.4 million. The surge in earnings reflects a growing momentum in women's sports, driven by increased attendance and media deals, particularly in the WNBA and LPGA.
Despite this progress, female athletes still earn significantly less than their male counterparts, with the top 20 women making just 12% of the total earnings of the top 20 male athletes. However, recent media agreements and increased investment in women's leagues signal a potential shift towards greater financial equity in the future.
