Liberty Nation News: House Speaker Mike Johnson Wins the Gavel Again – With Trump’s Aid - Liberty Nation News
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was re-elected as speaker of the House after a single roll call vote, overcoming initial opposition from three GOP members. A call from President-elect Donald Trump helped sway two holdouts, securing the necessary votes for Johnson to reach the required majority.
Despite the victory, tensions remain within the Republican Party, particularly from the House Freedom Caucus, which has outlined demands for Johnson's leadership. The internal divisions raise questions about the stability of his speakership and the potential for future conflicts in the 119th Congress.
Liberty Nation News: Hiding in Plain Sight: Government Agencies Never Die - Liberty Nation News
The Global Engagement Center (GEC), which aimed to counter foreign propaganda, officially closed on December 23. However, House Republicans accused it of targeting Americans expressing dissenting opinions on social media. Reports suggest the State Department plans to reallocate GEC staff and funding to a new entity, raising concerns of continuity in controversial practices.
This situation reflects a broader issue of government agencies persisting despite alleged misconduct. Critics argue that instead of accountability, the GEC's closure merely serves as a rebranding effort, perpetuating a cycle of unaccountability in federal programs.
Le Monde: 'We are entering a long period of relegation and neglect of the environmental issue'
In 2024, France faces a political crisis with the dissolution of the Assemblée Nationale, leading to a fragmented political landscape and diminished focus on environmental issues. The environment minister's reduced status reflects this decline, as climate concerns have largely vanished from the political agenda.
Globally, the rise of far-right movements and a shift in political priorities further marginalize environmental topics. The focus has shifted to "adaptation," indicating a resignation to the climate crisis rather than proactive measures.

Le Monde: Euro falls to lowest level against dollar since 2022
The euro has fallen to its lowest level against the US dollar since November 2022, reaching $1.0226. This decline, nearly 9% since September 2024, is attributed to worsening economic conditions in the eurozone, particularly in Germany, France, and Italy, amid rising energy costs.
As the European Central Bank contemplates interest rate cuts, the outlook for the eurozone remains bleak, contrasting with the US, where the Federal Reserve is less aggressive about rate reductions. The economic disparity between the regions is becoming increasingly pronounced.

The Telegraph: Watch: Drone racing set to become official British Army sport for first time
The British Army will officially recognize drone racing as a sport for the first time, following its popularity in both recreational and military settings. The Armed Forces Sports Board will now acknowledge the British Army Drone Association, which organizes First Person View (FPV) drone races.
These races involve pilots flying drones at high speeds without GPS, enhancing skill and reducing vulnerability to enemy jamming. The initiative is supported by Lt Col Karl Eze, who has been instrumental in promoting drone technology within the military.
