GB News: Think a council employee allowed to work from Ibiza is bad? That's the tip of the iceberg - Kelvin MacKenzie
A Freedom of Information request revealed that a West Devon council employee worked remotely from Ibiza during the pandemic, raising concerns about accountability in local government. Many council workers reportedly avoid coming to the office, citing various excuses, which may indicate a broader issue of lax work practices.
With council taxes set to rise, taxpayers are urged to demand transparency regarding remote work policies and pension arrangements. Voters should hold their councillors accountable and push for reforms, as current practices may not align with public interests.

Fox News: Power outage leaves most of Puerto Rico in the dark on New Year's Eve
A blackout in Puerto Rico left nearly 1.3 million customers without power on Tuesday, with restoration efforts expected to take up to two days. The outage, caused by a failure in an underground power line, has intensified public frustration with Luma Energy, the utility company managing the island's electricity.
Governor-elect Jenniffer González Colón has called for an "energy czar" to investigate Luma's contractual issues, while current Governor Pedro Pierluisi demands swift action from the company to restore service. Puerto Rico's power grid continues to struggle with chronic outages, exacerbated by damage from Hurricane Maria and ongoing financial challenges.

Times Of Israel: As Iran’s network of proxies withers, Israel has an opening to revive its own
Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, claim significant success in diminishing Iran's influence and its proxies, particularly Hezbollah, in the region. They argue that Iran's investments in Syria and Lebanon have largely failed, creating new opportunities for Israel to strengthen its position.
Historically, Israel has engaged with minority communities in the Middle East to counter its adversaries. Recent calls from officials suggest a renewed strategy to form alliances with groups like the Kurds and Druze, aiming to create a coalition against Iranian influence.

The Telegraph: Jesus was Palestinian? That really would be a miracle
Bear Grylls recently stirred controversy by referring to Jesus and Mary as Palestinian figures, prompting backlash regarding the historical and religious context of their identities. His comments, made during a book promotion, reflect a broader trend of politicizing Jesus' identity, often downplaying his Jewish heritage.
This narrative has been linked to a troubling rise in anti-Semitism, as some activists use the claim of Jesus as Palestinian to delegitimize Jewish connections to Israel. The implications of this rhetoric are concerning, as it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and historical inaccuracies.
