GB News: Elon Musk doubles down on AfD support and urges people not to liken party's leader to Hitler
Elon Musk has expressed strong support for Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, calling it the "last spark of hope" for the nation in a recent opinion piece. He argues that Germany is facing economic and cultural collapse and defends the AfD against accusations of being far-right, citing party leader Alice Weidel's personal life as evidence.
Musk's endorsement comes ahead of snap elections in February 2025 and has sparked controversy, leading to the resignation of the opinion editor at Welt am Sonntag. Despite the AfD's strong polling, Weidel's chances of becoming chancellor are slim due to other parties' refusal to collaborate with the party. The piece has ignited a debate in Germany about freedom of expression in media.

Liberty Nation News: Homeless America: The Numbers for 2024 are Worrisome - Liberty Nation News
Homelessness in America reached a record high in 2024, with over 771,800 individuals affected, marking an 18.1% increase from the previous year. Contributing factors include rising housing costs, the end of pandemic-related protections, and a surge in migrants. Family homelessness rose nearly 40%, particularly in cities with large migrant populations.
Despite the grim statistics, some areas have seen improvements, such as a 16% decrease in homelessness in Dallas and a 7.5% decline among veterans. However, experts warn that without significant intervention, the crisis is likely to worsen, potentially exceeding one million homeless individuals by 2025.

Fox News: Restaurant leftovers spark debate about food, boxes and to-go etiquette
Restaurant portions are often large, leading to leftover meals that diners may want to take home. While asking for a to-go box is common in the U.S., opinions vary on what can be taken. Some restaurateurs are open to customers taking home extra bread, while others feel it's inappropriate.
Asking for multiple boxes for different items is generally accepted, enhancing the dining experience. However, eggs are typically discouraged for takeout due to poor reheating quality. Ultimately, the decision to box leftovers often depends on individual restaurant policies and customer preferences.

Fox News: Class dismissed: Colleges expected to close as enrollment numbers tank
The rising cost of attending college in the U.S. is leading to an alarming trend of closures among institutions. Over 500 nonprofit colleges have shut down in the last decade, with enrollment dropping 15% from 2010 to 2021. This decline is attributed to fewer high school graduates opting for college and a significant drop in birth rates.
As families seek more affordable education options, many colleges are struggling financially, unable to raise tuition amid rising operational costs. This could result in a wave of closures starting in 2025, impacting local economies and job markets. The future may see students considering alternative career paths, including vocational training and military service.

Fox News: 2024: The year law and order was restored by voters
In 2024, voters across the U.S. rejected progressive crime policies and supported increased funding for police, reversing the defund movement's impact. Major defeats for Soros-backed prosecutors highlighted a public shift towards prioritizing law and order amid rising crime rates.
California's Prop 36 and various elections in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco reflected this trend, as residents sought tougher penalties and accountability from law enforcement. This shift indicates a growing frustration with perceived leniency towards crime and a desire for more effective policing.
