Breitbart: German Parliament Dissolved, Setting Date For Feb 23rd Snap Elections

Current polling indicates a strong lead for right-wing parties, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The left-wing parties, including the SPD and Greens, have seen a significant drop in support, raising concerns about their future in the upcoming elections.
Breitbart: Democrat Lawyers Call for Congress to Block Trump from Taking Office
Two Democrat lawyers have urged Congress to prevent Donald Trump from taking office, citing the Constitution's disqualification of insurrectionists. They claim evidence of Trump's insurrection is overwhelming, referencing various forums including the January 6th Committee and Trump's impeachment trial.
Republicans have ridiculed the proposal, asserting it undermines the electoral process and dismissing the lawyers' arguments as legally unfounded. Critics highlight that Trump was acquitted of insurrection and that the Supreme Court ruled states cannot disqualify federal candidates.

South Korea's political crisis deepens as the National Assembly voted to suspend interim president Han Duck-soo, following the ousting of former president Yoon Suk Yeol. The opposition accuses Han of supporting Yoon's actions, while the ruling party contests the legitimacy of the vote.

The ruling People's Power Party argues that any motion against Han requires a two-thirds majority, which they claim was not met.

Forbes: The Fastest-Growing Sports Teams Of 2024
In 2024, twelve sports franchises increased in value by at least $900 million, with the Dallas Cowboys becoming the first team valued over $10 billion. The Boston Celtics and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also saw significant gains, reflecting the overall trend of rising valuations across major sports leagues.
The surge in team values is driven by increased revenues from media rights deals and a strong demand for sports ownership. NHL teams, in particular, experienced substantial growth, while MLS's Inter Miami CF saw a 72% increase following Lionel Messi's arrival. Despite slower growth in MLB and global soccer, these leagues still show solid investment returns.
