Who else might Biden pardon after he spared Hunter from sentencing?
President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, despite previously stating he would not intervene in his legal matters. This decision comes as Biden's term nears its end, with calls from various officials for additional pardons, including preemptive ones for Democrats potentially facing prosecution under a future Trump administration.

The pardoning of Hunter Biden follows his conviction for gun-related charges stemming from his past struggles with addiction. Biden's administration is expected to announce further pardons in the coming weeks, as discussions about criminal justice reform and clemency continue among lawmakers.

Supreme Court to weigh state ban on transgender 'medical treatments' for minors
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on a Tennessee law banning gender-transition treatments for minors, a case that could set a significant precedent. The petitioners, including the ACLU and the Biden administration, argue that the law violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

The state contends the law is not discriminatory, asserting it regulates medical treatments based on age and use. The outcome could impact similar laws in at least 25 states and affect the rights of transgender minors nationwide. A ruling is expected by July 2025.

South Korea opposition move to impeach President Yoon after short-lived martial law bid
South Korea's opposition parties have initiated impeachment proceedings against President Yoon Suk Yeol following his controversial attempt to impose martial law, which they labeled as "insurrectionary behavior." The Democratic Party and five other parties condemned his actions as a violation of the constitution and a threat to democracy.

Kim Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party, emphasized the need to protect the lives and safety of citizens, asserting that Yoon's actions constitute treason and warrant impeachment. This marks a significant political crisis as it is the first martial law announcement since the restoration of democracy in the 1980s.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not invited to spend Christmas with the royal family, a decision attributed to King Charles' desire to avoid drama during the holiday season. Expert Ingrid Seward noted the king's exhaustion and the couple's demands, particularly regarding security, as factors in the ongoing estrangement.

Harry and Meghan have not participated in royal Christmas celebrations since 2018 and are expected to spend the holidays in the U.S. Despite the estrangement, there remains hope that family ties may eventually be mended, especially concerning the king's desire to see his grandchildren.

GOP senator to propose ban on gender transition treatment for minors
Sen. Roger Marshall plans to introduce the STOP of Minors Act, which would ban gender-related medical procedures for minors and impose penalties on professionals who perform such treatments. The bill aims to protect children from what Marshall describes as "child abuse" related to gender transition.

The legislation seeks to impose a civil penalty of at least $100,000 for those providing transgender services to minors and also offers support for individuals wishing to detransition. The bill reflects a growing Republican focus on restricting transgender medical procedures for youth.

The controversies surrounding Notre-Dame's reconstruction
The reconstruction of Notre-Dame has sparked significant debate since the 2019 fire. Key controversies include whether to restore Viollet-le-Duc's stained-glass windows or replace them with contemporary designs. Additionally, the unusual replacement of two organists has raised questions about the appointment process.

President Macron advocates for a bold architectural vision, suggesting that contemporary art should be integrated into the cathedral's design. This approach has met resistance from traditionalists who prefer to maintain the historical integrity of the structure.

Fox News: Lead Daniel Penny prosecutor secured light sentence for thug who killed 87-year-old in ATM robbery
Lead Daniel Penny prosecutor secured light sentence for thug who killed 87-year-old in ATM robbery
Manhattan District Attorney Dafna Yoran, who is prosecuting Daniel Penny for manslaughter in the subway chokehold case, previously advocated for leniency in a 2019 homicide involving a mugger who killed an elderly man. This approach aligns with a policy aimed at restorative justice.

Critics argue that such leniency reflects a broader trend of soft-on-crime policies in major cities. Penny faces a maximum of 15 years if convicted, as jurors began deliberations on his case. Yoran emphasized in her closing arguments that the evidence must show Penny's responsibility for the death of Jordan Neely.
