GB News: Labour’s ‘ongoing problem’ in tackling migrant crisis revealed by ex-Border Force chief as Channel crossings ramp up on Christmas Day
Tony Smith, former UK Border Force Director General, warns that issues with Channel crossings will persist despite policy changes, particularly after the Rwanda plan's abolition. He noted challenges in returning migrants from difficult nationalities and the lack of EU agreements on safe third countries.
On Christmas Day, over 110 migrants arrived in Dover as weather conditions improved, leading to increased crossings. A people smuggler promoted a "Christmas special" deal for crossings, highlighting ongoing issues with dangerous small boat journeys.

Breitbart: Gavin Newsom Falls 2/3 Short of Housing Goal While Homelessness Rises
California Governor Gavin Newsom has fallen significantly short of his housing goals, having only permitted 1.1 million homes out of a promised 3.5 million since taking office in 2019. Despite spending billions to address homelessness, the state’s homeless population has increased from approximately 150,000 to 180,000.
Newsom revised his target to 2.5 million homes by 2030, but progress remains stagnant, with only 1.1 million planned. His failures extend to fire prevention and electric vehicle policies, while a recent voter-approved measure to restore penalties for shoplifting contrasts with his administration's stance.

Human Events: BREAKING: 38 dead after jet crashes in Kazakhstan—passenger films crash from inside cabin as plane goes down
A plane crash in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day resulted in 38 fatalities out of 69 passengers. The Azerbaijan Airlines flight J2-8243, diverted due to fog, reportedly encountered a bird strike before attempting an emergency landing near Aktau.
Investigations by the airline and authorities from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are underway. Most passengers were Azerbaijani nationals, with others from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. The airline has suspended flights to Grozny and Makhachkala pending the outcome of the investigations.
Breitbart: Bear Grylls Posts Christmas Message Calling Mother Mary a ‘Refugee’ and a ‘Palestinian Girl’
Bear Grylls inaccurately claimed that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a "Palestinian" and that she and Joseph were "refugees" during their journey to Bethlehem. This narrative is often used by left-wing figures to promote modern immigration policies, despite the Biblical account indicating they were there for a government census.
In reality, Joseph and Mary were not immigrants or refugees; they were Jewish residents of Judea fulfilling a Roman tax requirement. The portrayal of them as homeless or impoverished is also misleading, as they had a home and a stable livelihood. Grylls' assertions reflect a broader trend of distorting the Christmas story for political purposes.

The Telegraph: Israel and Hamas in war of words over ceasefire deal ‘sabotage’
Hamas and Israel have exchanged accusations of undermining a potential ceasefire-hostage agreement, despite reported progress in negotiations mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the US. Both sides claim the other is introducing new conditions that hinder the deal.
Hamas asserts that Israel's new demands are delaying the agreement, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu contends that Hamas is not adhering to prior understandings. Nonetheless, Hamas claims to be showing flexibility in the ongoing discussions.
Breitbart: Houthis Attack Israel on Christmas; Second Missile in Two Nights
Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile at Israel during Christmas, prompting widespread sirens and sending millions into bomb shelters. The missile was intercepted, but debris fell in Israeli cities, marking the fourth attack in less than a week.
Israel's defense minister has threatened to target Houthi leaders, but the distance complicates potential military responses. The Houthis were delisted as a terror group by the Biden administration in 2021.
Breitbart: Study: Global Coal Demand at Record High in 2024 – Driven by China
A recent International Energy Agency (IEA) study indicates that global coal demand and production reached record levels in 2024, primarily driven by China, which consumes 30% more coal than the rest of the world combined. Despite being a signatory to the Paris Climate Agreement, China has approved hundreds of new coal power plants.
The IEA forecasts coal demand will rise to 8.77 billion tonnes in 2024, with China and India leading the increase. While coal consumption is declining in the EU and the US, China's coal production is expected to remain high, contradicting optimistic predictions about a shift to renewable energy.

The Western Journal: Vatican Expels Texas Church After Mother Superior Breaks Vow of Chastity
The Vatican has declared a Texas monastery "extinct" after Reverend Mother Teresa Gerlach allegedly broke her chastity vows by engaging in an online affair with a priest. Bishop Michael Olson dismissed the nuns at the Discalced Carmelite Monastery in Arlington, stating they are no longer recognized as nuns.
The controversy escalated with a lawsuit from Gerlach and six supporting nuns against Olson, which was dismissed. Accusations of marijuana use at the monastery were investigated but no charges were filed. Gerlach's attorney claims the bishop's actions are motivated by a desire to seize the monastery's valuable property.

Front Page Magazine: Don't Expect the Cops to Save You
A woman tragically died after being set on fire by an illegal alien on a New York City subway, raising questions about police inaction. NYPD officials stated that officers responded to the scene, but critics argue that their focus has shifted to avoiding risks rather than intervening in emergencies.
The narrative suggests that police are now more bureaucratic and less willing to take risks due to political pressures and changes in leadership. The piece implies that the current political climate has led to a police force that prioritizes compliance over active protection, leaving citizens vulnerable.
