Breitbart: German Left-Populists Declare War on Green Agenda Ahead of Elections
Sahra Wagenknecht's new party, the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), is campaigning against Germany's green agenda ahead of the February 23rd federal election. She proposes abolishing green subsidies and the CO2 tax to save the state billions and cut food prices, while criticizing the impact of the green policies on the economy.
Wagenknecht also advocates for importing cheap natural gas, including from Russia, and has called for peace negotiations regarding the Ukraine conflict. Her party's success could shift the balance of power in the Bundestag, potentially aligning with right-wing parties on immigration restrictions.

Fox News: Harris dodges questions about political future, possible run for California governor
Former Vice President Kamala Harris remains tight-lipped about her political future amid speculation of a potential gubernatorial run in California for 2026. Recently, she has focused on community engagement, touring areas affected by wildfires and discussing her plans to support local leaders.
Political insiders are watching closely, especially after her defeat to Donald Trump in the last election. With California Governor Gavin Newsom unable to run again due to term limits, Harris's experience in the state has led many to believe she may pursue the governorship or another presidential bid.

The Western Journal: USAID Utterly Obliterated - Rubio Announces 97% of Staff Gone - Africa, Asia to Share 20 Staffers Total
The Trump administration is reportedly planning significant cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), reducing its staff from about 10,000 to just 294, a 97% decrease. This restructuring includes drastic cuts to projects across various regions and the cancellation of around 800 awards and contracts.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized USAID for operating independently and emphasized the need for a more focused approach. He aims to determine whether certain functions should remain under USAID or be transferred to the State Department.
The Telegraph: A British national overseas has been handed a death penalty in all but name
Ryan Cornelius, a British businessman, has been imprisoned in the UAE since 2008 on false charges, with his detention deemed arbitrary by the UN. Despite his deteriorating health and calls for action from MPs, the UK government has prioritized trade relations with the UAE over his plight.
As the UK seeks closer economic ties with the Gulf Cooperation Council, it has neglected its duty to protect citizens like Cornelius, raising concerns about the ethical implications of such partnerships. This pattern undermines the UK’s moral authority and could weaken its standing in international relations.
The Western Journal: Fact Check: Was USAID a Leftist Money Laundering Scheme?
The future of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is uncertain as the Trump administration considers significant changes. Critics argue that USAID has become a conduit for funding leftist causes rather than effectively aiding impoverished nations, with a lack of transparency regarding its $44 billion budget.
Concerns have been raised over specific spending items that appear unrelated to humanitarian efforts, such as funding for LGBTQ initiatives and climate change projects. Lawmakers, including Senators Marco Rubio and Joni Ernst, have voiced frustrations over the agency's opacity and the misallocation of funds, suggesting that a review is necessary to ensure taxpayer dollars are used appropriately.

Breitbart: Russian Spy Ship Drifted Without Steering, on Fire, in Mediterranean
A Russian spy ship, the Kildin, experienced a fire while drifting off the Syrian coast, prompting a radio call for nearby vessels to keep their distance. Despite the blaze, the crew did not accept assistance from a NATO ship. The Kildin, which gathers intelligence on NATO activities, regained control after several hours.
Military officials noted that the incident underscores the logistical challenges Russia faces in maintaining naval operations in the Mediterranean, especially with restrictions on its Black Sea Fleet due to the Ukraine conflict. Kremlin officials downplayed the incident, asserting it does not reflect on the overall readiness of the Russian navy.
