The Federalist: CBS Claims Southern States Are Incapable Of Handling Disasters
During an interview, CBS's Margaret Brennan suggested that southern states lack the competence to manage disaster recovery without federal assistance from FEMA. Vice President J.D. Vance countered this assertion, arguing that states like Mississippi and Alabama can handle their own disaster response better than FEMA, which he criticized for its bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Vance emphasized the need for reform in how emergency resources are delivered, pointing out that FEMA has failed to effectively distribute aid in past disasters. He called for higher expectations from the government and highlighted the potential for states to manage disaster relief more effectively.
Fox News: Trump looks to enforce trans inmate crackdown as new acting federal prisons chief tapped
William W. Lothrop has been appointed as the interim director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) following Colette Peters' resignation. His leadership comes as President Trump enforces policies that house transgender inmates according to their biological sex and halts federal funding for gender transition procedures.
Trump's executive order defines sex strictly as male or female, reversing policies from the Biden administration that allowed transgender inmates to be housed based on gender identity. This shift aims to address ongoing challenges within the BOP, which manages over 155,000 federal inmates.

The decision to review training courses for compliance with executive orders is ongoing, as the military prepares for new directives from Trump regarding DEI and other policies.

The Telegraph: The Rwandan-backed M23 militants fuelling conflict in the DR Congo
M23 rebels and Rwandan troops have reportedly seized Goma, a key city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, amid escalating violence that has resulted in the deaths of at least 13 peacekeepers. This offensive has prompted condemnation from Western nations urging Rwanda to withdraw support for the rebels.
The conflict in the DRC has deep historical roots, exacerbated by the aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, which led to significant loss of life and displacement. Over the past 30 years, the region has seen millions perish due to ongoing violence and instability.

The Imaginative Conservative: On Nature and Grace: The Role of Reason in the Life of Faith
Thomas Aquinas emphasizes the harmony between faith and reason, asserting that nature reveals God's intelligibility. He argues that grace does not negate nature but enhances it, suggesting that natural reason should support faith, similar to how the will supports charity.
Aquinas's methodical approach in his "Summa Theologica" illustrates that theology seeks to clarify and connect the principles of faith through reason, demonstrating the coherence of revealed truths. This interplay of faith and reason allows for a deeper understanding of divine revelation.

The Imaginative Conservative: Be Still and Read
The decline in reading among students is alarming, with many entering college without ever having read a complete book. This trend is attributed to the rise of digital media, shorter attention spans, and a shift in educational focus from liberal arts to STEM subjects.
However, the growth of classical education, emphasizing a "great books" curriculum, aims to reverse this trend. Classical schools promote deep reading, critical thinking, and a disciplined approach to learning, preparing students for a literate future.
