Front Page Magazine: Biden Frees Men Who Scammed $5 Billion With Over 1 Million Victims
A $900 million Ponzi scheme known as Zeek defrauded around 1 million victims, many of whom were working-class individuals who lost life savings and faced financial ruin. CEO Paul Burks, sentenced to 14 years, had his sentence commuted by President Biden, who has granted similar leniency to other major fraudsters.
Biden's commutations have included numerous high-profile fraud cases, raising concerns about the implications of his actions on the rule of law and the impact on victims. Critics argue that Biden's decisions reflect a troubling pattern of favoritism towards convicted criminals, undermining his claim that "no one is above the law."
Forbes: House Rejects Trump-Backed Government Funding Bill As Shutdown Nears
The House rejected a new funding bill backed by President-elect Donald Trump, with a vote of 235-174. The bill aimed to extend government funding until March 14 and suspend the debt ceiling for two years, a key demand from Trump.
Democrats united against the proposal, labeling it as unserious. If the bill does not pass by Friday night, a partial government shutdown could occur, affecting services like Medicare and federal employee operations.

Bayrou is open to reexamining the controversial pension age reform but insists on maintaining it for now.

Bayrou's administration must navigate a complex political landscape to stabilize France.
Breitbart: House Republicans Strike Spending Deal After Trump Steps In House Republicans Strike Spending Deal After Trump Steps In
President-elect Donald Trump intervened to help avert a government shutdown after a deal by Speaker Mike Johnson collapsed. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance negotiated a new spending agreement that includes a three-month extension of current spending levels and a two-year suspension of the debt limit.
While the revised deal has gained some support, its passage remains uncertain, as not all Republicans are on board, particularly conservatives concerned about increased spending. The House Freedom Caucus is discussing the bill, with a deadline looming for a vote.
Front Page Magazine: Harris Aide: Dems Need More Spox Like the Activist Who Said ‘America Deserved 9/11’
The Democrats' significant loss in the 2024 presidential election is attributed to their detachment from mainstream American values, particularly regarding issues like gender identity and immigration. Their continued embrace of controversial figures and ideologies, such as Hasan Piker, signals a refusal to address the concerns of average citizens.
Despite the party's struggles, there appears to be no shift in strategy, as some leaders advocate for more voices that align with their far-left agenda. This approach is likely to alienate further undecided voters and solidify the perception that the Democrats are out of touch with the broader electorate.
