Fox News: South Korean president's martial law declaration a 'blunder,' could embolden North Korea, expert says
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief declaration of martial law, aimed at combating "anti-state" forces, has faced backlash from opposition lawmakers, who have initiated impeachment proceedings. The declaration, lasting only six hours, evoked memories of past military rule and was rejected overwhelmingly by lawmakers.
Experts view Yoon's move as a political miscalculation that may further embolden North Korea. If impeached, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo would assume presidential duties, but the constitutional court's decision hinges on the votes of Yoon's appointees.

The Western Journal: More Americans Want J6ers Pardoned, as 68 Percent of Dems Support Case-by-Case Reviews if Pardons Go Forward
A recent Rasmussen poll shows that 49% of voters support President-elect Donald Trump pardoning individuals charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, Capitol protests, with 68% of Democrats favoring case-by-case reviews for potential pardons.

The poll results suggest a growing skepticism towards the established narrative, indicating that Americans may not view January 6 as a pivotal moment in history deserving of harsh punishment.
