Breitbart: Over 20,000 Illegals Crossed Channel Since Labour Party Came to Power
Since the Labour Party took power on July 4, over 20,000 illegal migrants have crossed the English Channel, exceeding last year's figures by 15%. The Home Office attributes this rise to favorable weather, but the situation complicates Prime Minister Starmer's pledge to address illegal migration.
Starmer criticized the previous open borders policy and plans to shift away from it, yet his government has not committed to capping legal immigration numbers. The upcoming strategy will address both illegal and legal migration, but the government maintains that migration is essential for the country.

Fox News: President Biden's pardon of son Hunter a political gift for Trump going forward
President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is seen as a significant political move, potentially benefiting President-elect Donald Trump. Analysts argue it supports Trump's claims of a politicized Justice Department and undermines long-held precedents regarding pardons.
The pardon may also provide Trump with political cover as he faces pressure to pardon individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack. This development could influence Republican senators' support for Trump's controversial nominees.

Forbes: Will Court Uphold TikTok Ban? What To Know As Ruling Expected This Week
A federal court is set to rule on the legality of a ban on TikTok, which requires the app to divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. TikTok argues this infringes on its First Amendment rights and is technologically impossible, while the Justice Department cites national security concerns.
The outcome is uncertain, but if upheld, TikTok could appeal to the Supreme Court before the ban takes effect in January. Public support for a ban has declined, with only 32% favoring it as of July. The situation is further complicated by Donald Trump's election, which may influence the enforcement of the ban.
