Breitbart: 'Saturday Night Live' Mocks Hunter Biden: 'Pardon Me'
NBC’s Saturday Night Live lampooned President Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, during its cold open. The skit featured humorous exchanges between characters, with jokes referencing Hunter's legal troubles and his father’s actions, highlighting the controversial nature of the pardon.

Front Page Magazine: No Party for Old Men
Rep. Raúl Grijalva is stepping down as the ranking member of the Natural Resources Committee, making way for Rep. Jared Huffman, while Rep. Jerrold Nadler faces potential ousting by Rep. Jamie Raskin. This shift reflects a trend of younger Democrats in their 60s replacing older members in their 70s, as the party grapples with its leadership and electoral strategies.
The article argues that the real issue for the Democrats is not the age of their leaders but the outdated ideas they represent. The party's focus on identity politics and its inability to adapt to changing demographics have hindered its success. Simply replacing older leaders will not resolve the fundamental problems facing the party.

Front Page Magazine: Why Assad Fell
Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria has faced significant challenges due to the weakened support from Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah. Iran's involvement has diminished due to its conflicts with Israel, while Russia's military focus has shifted to Ukraine, leaving Assad without crucial military aid.
Hezbollah has suffered heavy losses from Israeli attacks, further limiting its ability to assist Assad. As a result, the Syrian army's poor performance has led to rapid territorial losses, with Damascus now under rebel control. The future dynamics among the new ruling factions in Syria could reshape relations in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel.
Breitbart: Biden Admin Gives Another Nearly $1 Billion to Ukraine
The Department of Defense has announced nearly $1 billion in new military aid for Ukraine, pushing total U.S. support to over $62 billion since Russia's invasion in February 2022. This package includes munitions, equipment, and spare parts for various military systems.
The aid aims to enhance Ukraine's long-term military capabilities rather than provide immediate battlefield support. The DOD reaffirmed its commitment to working with allies to ensure Ukraine receives the necessary assistance to succeed in the ongoing conflict.
The Telegraph: Israel seizes land on Syrian border and bombs Damascus
Israel has seized land along its border with Syria and conducted air strikes on Damascus following a rebel offensive that toppled Bashar al-Assad's government. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the actions were necessary to protect Israeli residents after Syrian troops abandoned their positions.
Israeli fighter jets targeted weapons sites in Damascus to prevent leftover arms from reaching extremist groups. This move reflects Israel's ongoing strategy to secure its borders amid the instability in Syria.
Breitbart: Biden Claims Credit for Toppling Assad
President Biden claimed credit for the weakening of Syrian dictator Bashar Assad's regime, citing U.S. sanctions, military presence, and support for Israel's actions against Iranian influence as key factors. He emphasized a principled policy aimed at fostering a political resolution in Syria.
Biden's address, however, omitted previous efforts by the Obama administration to engage with Assad and downplayed the complexities of U.S. foreign policy in the region. He expressed optimism about drafting a new Syrian constitution and international aid for reconstruction.
Times Of Israel: As Assad falls, Israeli jets destroy his deadly arsenals before they fall to rebels

Israel's operations focused on preventing hostile forces from acquiring strategic military assets, including missile storage and chemical weapons sites. The U.S. military also targeted Islamic State positions in central Syria, reflecting the evolving security landscape following the regime's fall.
