Front Page Magazine: Newsom's Plans to Protect Illegal Aliens are Underwhelming
California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a special legislative session aimed at bolstering support for undocumented immigrants in anticipation of potential mass deportations under a Trump administration. The proposal includes a $25 million plan for an "Immigrant Support Network" to connect at-risk individuals with legal services and community resources.
While the initiative seeks to enhance coordination among existing services, critics argue it lacks substance and merely aims to fund already established activist networks. California has already implemented numerous measures to obstruct immigration enforcement, raising questions about the effectiveness of additional efforts.

GB News: Tesla sales fall as drivers put off by Elon Musk's support for Reform UK, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump
Tesla's sales in Europe have plummeted by 40% compared to last year, with only three brands performing worse. Analysts attribute this decline partly to CEO Elon Musk's political involvement and controversial decisions, which have affected consumer perception.
A survey indicates that 33% of motorists are less inclined to buy a Tesla due to Musk's political stances, with 45% of current owners considering selling their vehicles. The brand's appeal appears to be waning, particularly among women and older demographics.

Times Of Israel: Saudi Arabia carried out record executions in decades in 2024, rights groups say
Saudi Arabia executed 330 individuals this year, the highest in decades, despite Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's previous claims of limiting the death penalty. This figure marks a significant increase from 172 in 2022, with many executed for non-lethal crimes, including drug-related offenses.
Rights groups criticize the kingdom's human rights record, alleging abuses such as sentencing minors to death and using torture. While Saudi Arabia aims to reshape its global image under the Vision 2030 plan, the rise in executions contradicts its reform narrative.
Forbes: Northern Lights Forecast: Here’s Where Aurora Borealis Can Be Seen On Christmas Eve
The NOAA forecasts favorable conditions for viewing the northern lights on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with a Kp index of four on Christmas Eve and five on Christmas Day. The viewing line extends to central South Dakota, with optimal viewing in northern states.

Times Of Israel: Iran votes to lift ban on WhatsApp, Google Play
Iran's Supreme Council of Cyberspace has voted to lift a two-year ban on WhatsApp, marking a potential shift in internet policy. Communications Minister Sattar Hashemi stated this is a step toward reducing internet restrictions, though the implementation timeline remains unclear.
The decision has sparked debate; critics argue that the previous restrictions were costly and ineffective, while some lawmakers warn it could benefit Iran's adversaries. Other popular platforms like Facebook and YouTube remain blocked, and Iranians often use VPNs to bypass these restrictions.

Front Page Magazine: UN Fakes Gaza Famine by Refusing to Deliver Food
Claims of famine in Gaza persist despite evidence of ongoing food deliveries. The UN World Food Program and various NGOs have reported high starvation rates, yet significant food aid has entered Gaza, often unaccounted for due to looting by armed gangs and Hamas.
The UN's refusal to allow Israeli protection for aid convoys has exacerbated the situation, with aid groups fearing theft. The UN's actions appear aimed at maintaining Hamas's authority, leading to accusations that it is deliberately allowing a humanitarian crisis to unfold.
Le Monde: Bashar al-Assad, Putin's refugee
Bashar al-Assad once assured Vladimir Putin that he would not meet the same fate as Ukraine's Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to Moscow in 2014. However, a decade later, Assad has found himself in a similar situation, exfiltrated to Russia as his regime faced collapse.
The parallels between the two leaders' downfalls highlight the precarious nature of their positions, both crucial to Russian interests. Putin's reluctance to publicly support fallen presidents further complicates the situation for Assad.

Fox News: Biden signs defense bill despite objections to ban on transgender health care for military children
President Biden signed a defense bill authorizing $895 billion in military spending, including significant pay raises for junior enlisted service members. Despite his objections to provisions banning transgender medical treatments for military children, the bill passed with bipartisan support.
The legislation focuses on countering China's influence, establishing a fund for military support to Taiwan, and investing in new technologies. It also continues the ban on military purchases of Chinese products. A spending package is still needed to implement the bill.

Front Page Magazine: Murder Victim's Daughter Reacts: Biden "And His Supporters, Have Blood on their Hands"
Family members of murder victims are expressing outrage over President Biden's decision to commute the sentences of federal death row inmates, including Brandon Council, who murdered two bank tellers. They feel their pain and trauma have been disregarded, calling the act a gross abuse of power.
Former prosecutor Derek Shoemake highlighted the emotional toll on victims' families, noting that their loved ones will continue to suffer while the convicted murderers are given a second chance. Critics argue that this reflects a broader trend of the Democratic Party prioritizing criminals over victims.
