The Federalist: Dems Break With Ritual Election Denial To Certify Electoral College
On January 6, Congress certified Donald Trump's election win, marking the first time since 1988 that no Democrat contested the legitimacy of a Republican president's election. Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Mike Johnson presided over the session, which confirmed 312 electoral votes in favor of Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
Historically, Democrats have challenged Republican victories, notably in 2000, 2004, and 2016. This certification breaks that trend, as Democrats previously raised claims of misconduct and fraud during past elections. The future remains uncertain regarding potential Democratic boycotts of Trump's inauguration.

Human Events: Keir Starmer accuses Elon Musk of ‘misinformation’ amid growing calls for public inquiry into Pakistani ‘grooming gang’ scandal
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Elon Musk of spreading misinformation regarding the handling of grooming gangs in the UK, which involved primarily Pakistani men abusing British girls in the 2000s. Starmer, who served as director of public prosecutions during that period, defended his record against Musk's claims of inaction.

The Imaginative Conservative: Does History Have a Meaning?
Professional historians and amateur historians share no inherent difference in their ability to uncover truths about the past, as argued by Carl Becker in his 1931 address to the American Historical Association. He challenged the notion of objectivity in history and emphasized that the interpretation of historical facts is subjective, shaped by individual experiences and societal contexts.
Becker's concept of "Ideal History" contrasts with "Actual History," suggesting that while the past is fixed, our understanding of it is fluid and influenced by contemporary perspectives. He posited that historians must acknowledge their fallibility and the imaginative nature of historical reconstruction, advocating for a critical approach to the study of history that recognizes the complexities of truth.
