The American Mind: A Pardon in a Pear Tree | The Roundtable Ep. 246
President Biden has granted his son Hunter an early presidential pardon, which raises questions about the integrity of liberal moral posturing. This move highlights the Democrats' difficulties in distancing themselves from their extreme rhetoric and past actions.
As the political landscape shifts, there is an opportunity for Trump's team to streamline government operations and address issues within intelligence agencies.
Fox News: SEAN HANNITY: Biden working to ‘obstruct’ Trump’s incoming agenda in final weeks in office
Sean Hannity criticizes the Biden administration for actions taken in the final weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, claiming they are designed to obstruct Trump's policies. He argues that the administration prioritizes political power over improving American lives, misleading the public on various issues.
Hannity asserts that the radical left is focused on undermining Trump's agenda rather than addressing the economy or border security, and he dismisses their claims about the safety of the world, particularly regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Le Monde: South Korea president clings to power after martial law U-turn
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faces potential impeachment after a brief and controversial declaration of martial law, which was swiftly overturned by lawmakers. The opposition filed an impeachment motion, citing constitutional violations, and aims for a vote on Saturday.

Le Monde: Belgian state condemned for crimes against humanity during Congo colonization
The Brussels Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of five mixed-race women, finding the Belgian state guilty of crimes against humanity for their abduction as children during the colonial era in the Congo. The court recognized that their abductions were part of a systematic policy targeting individuals of mixed race.
This landmark decision overturns a prior ruling that denied the existence of crimes against humanity at the time of the events. The court classified the abduction of these children as an inhumane act of persecution, establishing a significant precedent in acknowledging state responsibility for colonial abuses.

Times Of Israel: Amnesty report accuses Israel of seeking genocide in Gaza; Jerusalem slams ‘lies’
Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, alleging deliberate attacks on civilians and infrastructure while restricting humanitarian aid. The report claims that Israel's military actions cannot be justified by Hamas's initial attack on October 7, 2023, and calls for the international community to halt arms shipments to Israel.
Israel has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling them as false and antisemitic, while asserting its military operations are aimed at Hamas, not the Palestinian population. The ongoing conflict has led to significant casualties and displacement, with accusations of humanitarian law violations from both sides.
The Telegraph: Amnesty accuses Israel of ‘genocide’
Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, citing evidence from statements by Israeli officials and extensive documentation of destruction. The organization's leader called for immediate action from the international community to address the situation.
Israel has firmly rejected these allegations, labeling them as antisemitic and a "blood libel." The country is contesting these claims at the International Court of Justice while facing scrutiny over the high civilian death toll in Gaza, which exceeds 44,000 since the conflict escalated after the October 7 Hamas attacks.

GB News: Motorists could be pushed off roads by environmental taxes and Rachel Reeves charges coming in next year
Drivers in the UK face rising costs as new Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates will take effect in April 2025, with some taxes doubling for certain vehicles. Environmental taxes, aimed at promoting eco-friendly practices, will further increase overall driving expenses, particularly for petrol and diesel vehicles.
The government’s strategy includes incentives for electric vehicles while imposing higher taxes on hybrids and traditional cars. This aligns with similar practices across Europe, where many countries have adopted environmental taxes to encourage sustainability and reduce emissions.

The Telegraph: Why porridge oats, crackers and crumpets are the new ‘junk’ foods (and what to eat instead)
New UK government rules classify certain foods, including crumpets and porridge, as junk food under a nutrient profiling model aimed at tackling childhood obesity. This model scores foods based on energy density, often overlooking their nutritional value.
Nutritionists argue that while some items on the blacklist are indeed unhealthy, others like plain porridge and crumpets are generally nutritious. The initiative seeks to limit advertising for these foods before 9pm to reduce children's exposure to unhealthy options.
