A caller on C-SPAN accused Daily Caller senior editor Amber Duke of wanting to "bring back Jim Crow." Duke countered by asking what led him to that conclusion, asserting the outlet has covered stories in the black community. The caller cited coverage of diversity issues as an example.

GB News: Climate emergency branded 'politically motivated' to 'scare' people into greener lifestyles - 'Crisis exaggerated!'
Professor Steven Koonin argues that the climate emergency narrative is exaggerated by politicians to promote greener lifestyles, leading to eco-anxiety among youth. He calls for a more balanced discussion, emphasizing that actual scientific data does not support claims of a looming climate collapse.
Koonin warns that rapid transitions to renewable energy could harm economies and deepen global inequality, while fossil fuels remain a reliable energy source. The UK Department of Energy and Net Zero refutes his claims, asserting that investing in net-zero policies is essential for future energy security.

The Western Journal: Dem Judges Drop Bond for Man Accused of Stomping Dementia Patient, Now He's Accused of Another Sick Attack
Trayvion Lockridge, previously charged with brutally assaulting a 67-year-old Alzheimer’s patient, was granted significantly reduced bail by Democratic judges in Texas, first to $50,000 and then to $20,000. After being released, he is now facing new charges for a violent incident involving a firearm.
Critics argue that the judges' decisions to lower his bail demonstrate a disregard for public safety and the severity of Lockridge's past actions, which were captured on video. This pattern raises concerns about the judicial system's handling of violent offenders and its impact on crime victims.
