Fox News: House Oversight GOP launches probe into FEMA over tax money going to NGOs aiding illegal immigration
House Oversight Committee Republicans will investigate the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) for allegedly funding nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that aid illegal immigration. They claimed FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) was being used to provide services to illegal border crossers. The Republicans requested documents and communications from FEMA from January 20, 2021, to the present, including all communications relating to National Board member organizations aiding individuals inadmissible to the U.S. The lawmakers cited recent reporting which suggests that migrants were provided with detailed maps, with tips for crossing borders along with maps and guides stamped with the name of the American Red Cross, and maps directing them towards US cities and warned that NGOs were misusing American Rescue Plan funds.
The Blaze: Afghan national on terror watch list arrested after crossing southern border: 'A stark reminder of the failures of the Federal Government'
An Afghan national on the FBI's terrorism watch list was arrested along with other illegal aliens after crossing the southern border into San Diego. The suspect was identified through fingerprint scans and confirmed by the FBI, leading to an investigation. Officials described the incident as a reminder of the failures of the federal government to protect citizens and national security.
PJ Media: Big Tech Strikes Again: Our Sister Site Townhall Censored
Left-wing Big Tech gatekeepers are suppressing conservative speech that challenges the preferred narrative, while the Biden administration's immigration policies have left the US border wide open. Conservative media outlets have been labeled as "disinformation" or "hate speech" by prominent media investment group Group M prior to the 2020 presidential election, leading to website blacklisting and an industry-wide defunding campaign. The State Department collaborated with foreign entities to censor Townhall articles, depriving them of visibility on search engines and social media algorithms, and ad revenue. The Global Disinformation Index received $330,000 in funding from two State Department-backed entities, raising further concerns about First Amendment violations. Leftists have a stronghold on Big Tech and government bureaucracy, which threatens all conservative voices. VIP members play a crucial role in maintaining independence from Big Tech's influence and being able to pursue stories that contradict prevailing media and government narratives.

Fox News: Senate Dems threaten to sue W.Va. Gov. Jim Justice for refusing to release his work schedule
The DSCC plans to sue West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, who is running to unseat Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., in 2024, for refusing to release records related to his gubernatorial tenure and scheduled official meetings. The decision comes after news stories about an "ongoing scandal over his work schedule," and his campaign dismissed the legal threat, claiming Democrats were "in panic mode" over his bid. Justice's office denied two separate Freedom of Information Act requests from the DSCC.
Red State: Jonathan Turley Skewers the Media for 'Blackout' on 'Biden Corruption'
The House Oversight Committee revealed that millions were funneled to various Biden family accounts from foreign nationals, including connections to corrupt figures in Romania. The media either ignored the story or tried to spin it, with some claiming Republicans had no incriminating evidence on Joe Biden. However, the House has shown evidence of at least nine Bidens receiving dividends from a family business, with references to Joe Biden getting a 10 percent cut of one Chinese deal. This kind of influence peddling is unprecedented and dangerous. It appears the media has become a state media, failing to report on important developments and maintaining an official line by consent.
Fox News: CNN’s Oliver Darcy considering resignation after being scolded for Trump coverage: Report
CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy is considering leaving the network after being reprimanded by CEO Chris Licht over his coverage of the network's Trump town hall. CNN has been criticized for giving Trump a platform, and Darcy drew attention to the “fury of criticism” the network received from its own employees. Licht scolded Darcy for being too emotional in his coverage. Darcy heavily focuses on right-wing media in his work, and often takes a critical tone. He has been one of its fiercest critics in his role at CNN.
Darcy wrote that Trump lied about various topics during the town hall despite attempted fact-checks by CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins, yet CNN aired it all. He also criticized and questioned how America was served by giving Trump a platform which he made little use of. Licht received messages from CNN staffers appalled by Darcy's newsletter, as it emphasized how CNN and Licht were facing backlash “internally” and externally. Darcy cut his teeth in conservative media, and had been the sole author of CNN’s media newsletter since Brian Stelter was fired last year.
Red State: Trump Attacks DeSantis From the Left on Abortion, Says He's 'Too Harsh'
Trump attacks DeSantis from left on abortion, claiming the six-week ban in Florida is too harsh and not supported by the pro-life movement. Trump's stance appears to be motivated by a misguided attempt to distance himself from DeSantis and avoid potential electoral blowback. However, compromising on a paramount issue for political gain is not a viable option. Republicans should focus on winning the argument for state autonomy on abortion laws rather than retreating to weaker positions. The goal of overturning Roe was to allow states to pass different laws, including bans, and Republicans should not undermine that fight.
PJ Media: Democrats Kowtow to Pedophiles Again in Minnesota
Minnesota Democrats attempted to change the state's legal definition of "sexual orientation" last month, removing language that excluded pedophilia as a protected class. Outrage ensued, and the language was eventually restored after being removed again by the state Senate. The amendment was intended to include "gender identity" in the definition of protected classes, and it's worth noting that the bill's author identifies as transgender. Despite claims by fact-checkers that pedophilia is not a sexual orientation and will not be protected under the law, the removal of the language excluding it from the definition raises concerns about its potential inclusion in the future.
The Right Scoop: Trump goes after DeSantis on Florida’s 6-week abortion ban with alarming comments…
Former President Trump criticized Florida Governor DeSantis for signing a six-week abortion ban, but also said he was looking at all alternatives. Trump brought us the end of Roe v Wade, but many in the pro-life movement feel the ban was too harsh, despite it being a near total ban on abortions.
Clash Daily: WATCH: Canadian Conservative's Rebuke Of Totalitarian Trudeau Is ALSO True Of Utopian Joe Biden
In this article, Pierre Poilievre criticizes Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's changes to the Canadian passport, saying it is a part of the leftist strategy to "corrupt a society" by erasing history and replacing it with something else. Poilievre suggests that this is the same Maoist strategy that the totalitarians are using in the US, and that people should use this example to become more aware of the left's revisionist history games. The article suggests that people need to use the spiritual weapons given by God and fight against the powers of darkness to help Christ's Church and the nation.
The book "Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass" includes Psalms from the Bible that tell how David prayed while at war and reproductions of the author's original art from his Biblical Badass Series. This book is a great gift for the prayer warriors. The article suggests that people should use the spiritual weapons given by God to help Christ's Church and the nation.

National Review: The Corner: No Time for Complacency
A poll shows most Americans side with conservatives on the transgender debate, but conservatives can't be complacent since objections concern harms, not truth. A compromise may be reached, where "trans people" are men and women with false beliefs about their sex, deserving equal rights but not special privileges based on their false beliefs.
Fox News: Native American leader in New Mexico, Joe A. Garcia, dies at age 70
Well-known Native American leader from New Mexico, Joe A. Garcia, died at the age of 70. He was a former two-time president of the National Congress of American Indians and a former governor of the Ohkay Owingeh tribe. Garcia was also the head councilman of the tribe at the time of his passing. His dedication to Indian Country was seen as he held various leadership positions across different non-profit organizations that represented modern Pueblo tribes. Garcia's work in Indian Country will not be forgotten as he was a true culture keeper and mentor for his people.
The Epoch Times: America’s Powerful Intellectual Class Finds ‘Joy in Making Us Obey and Be Compliant,’ Warns Scholar
Scholar and author Tom Harrington warns that the misuse of power by the intellectual class in America is threatening fundamental freedom of speech in the country. Harrington notes that people are giving away too much power to experts who are using that power to make others obey and be compliant for compliance's sake. He adds that censorship and cancellation are two tactics used against the public, and people are facing "information warfare" being waged by multiple sources, including by the US government. Harrington believes that democracy is at risk when people heavily rely on the views of experts, and citizens need to be aware and make their own decisions.

The Epoch Times: War, Natural Disasters Left Record 71 Million People Internally Displaced in 2022, Report Says
Conflict and natural disasters led to a record-high of 71.1 million people being internally displaced worldwide in 2022, up 20% from the previous year. The war in Ukraine, which began in 2014 and led to 5.9 million people being displaced within the country, played a significant role in pushing up the figures. Syria had 6.8 million internally displaced after more than a decade of civil war. The La Nina weather phenomenon was another factor, leading to record levels of flood displacement in Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil, and the worst drought on record in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia.

The New American: Former U.K. Leader Liz Truss to Visit Taiwan - The New American
Liz Truss, the former U.K. Prime Minister, is set to visit Taiwan as a keynote speaker, with intentions to support and raise awareness of Taiwan’s democratic status as well as criticize the Chinese Communist Party’s struggle with the free world. Her hard-line speech for Taiwan is expected to provoke Beijing and carries the potential of undermining the U.K.’s relations with China. Truss has been criticized for the trip, with concerns that it undermines the government's stance on China and risks an invasion of Taiwan, highlighting a dividing line between the Conservative party's pro-China business wing and foreign policy hawks.

The Epoch Times: Activist Investor Elliott Pushes for Changes at Goodyear
Elliott Investment Management has invested in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., disclosing their 10% stake in the company, making Elliott one of the biggest investors in the 125-year-old business. The firm is proposing to strengthen Goodyear's financial position by selling its stores, refreshing the board and making a review of operations. Selling the store network, with Elliott's proposed changes, could enhance Goodyear's stock price by around $21 to the low-$30 range, according to Elliot, as Goodyear continues to perform negatively in comparison to rivals Michelin and Bridgestone. Elliott is one of the world's biggest activist investment companies and was reluctant to name the candidates for board makeovers but hopes to engage positively with the company.
The Epoch Times: China’s Heavy Handed ‘Rural Management’ Campaign Sparks Widespread Discontent
China's new directives on agriculture have caused chaos in rural communities as over 2,500 "agricultural law enforcement teams" enforce the central authorities' new directives on planting, animal husbandry, water usage, product quality, and safety. A video from Yuncheng shows a road roller with a banner reading "strictly ban planting and selling green produce" crushing a patch of winter jujubes. The central government aims for China's farmers to meet a quota of 650 million metric tons of grain this year, but its tunnel vision towards maximizing grain output at all costs is not fostering smooth implementation of ministry goals.

The Federalist Papers: Netflix’s Woke ‘Queen Cleopatra’ Appears to Have Worst Audience Score in TV History
Netflix's "docudrama" Queen Cleopatra has received the lowest debut audience score in Netflix’s history, with a score of one percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and despite a slight uptick, has only achieved two percent. The show’s contentions about Cleopatra’s ethnicity, claiming she was potentially of African ancestry, have been met with challenges from various sources, including professors who claim Cleopatra was white and of Macedonian descent. The show's audience ratings serve as a reminder that viewers want historical accuracy, not historical revisionism for the sake of political correctness.

National Review: New York Has Spent $64 Million on Little-Used Covid App — and the Cost Keeps Rising
New York's digital vaccine card, the Excelsior Pass, has cost the state over $64 million, mostly to maintain the technology developed by consulting firms IBM, Boston Consulting Group, and Deloitte. The app was meant to serve as a virtual passport for vaccination verification, but after New York City and other localities dropped the vaccine requirement, it is now rarely used. Despite this, New York still pays IBM $200,000 a month for data storage services surrounding the app, and the contracts with the consulting firms are now part of a state inspector general's investigation into certain public spending during Covid.

Forbes: Stabile Fixturing Might Help Fuel Cricket’s Popularity In Australia Beyond Peak Summer
The Australian cricket season is in flux, causing confusion for fans. Administrators are still trying to find the perfect schedule, with even the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground's New Year's Test facing issues with inclement weather. Despite the popularity of the Adelaide Oval Test in mid-December, there is an ongoing debate over which venue should host the match. The timing of the Big Bash League is also problematic, with no clear window after the traditional New Year's Test this season due to clashes with West Indies' tour in January. Test cricket seems to have precedence over the BBL for now, but the BBL will be trimmed in 2024-25.

The Epoch Times: Humanity Faces 'Orwellian' Future If AI Is Not Controlled: Australian Human Rights Commissioner
Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner has warned that, in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), the line between fact and fiction could become increasingly blurred, as those with “Orwellian tendencies” gain control over information. She noted that disinformation campaigns produced using tools such as ChatGPT and Google’s Bard could become widespread. Recently, a video featuring a fake Ukrainian President emerged which reportedly called for troops to surrender to Russia. The rise of AI chatbots means that the accuracy of information is harder to verify, threatening “fundamental human rights…our freedoms of expression and thought."
AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Google's Bard are examples of a new generation of search engines which can create original sentences, articles and even music and art. According to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, AI technology could eventually match teachers or tutors and is considered by many experts to reflect the future. China's Cyberspace Administration has released measures calling for AI innovation to reflect “core socialist values,” with concerns growing over political bias, peddling of false information or the existence of censorship and disinformation. With many governments and companies failing to consider the challenges of AI, the key focus should be on protecting fundamental rights and freedoms.

Forbes: ‘American Idol’ Viewers Reeling After ‘One Of The Most Talented Singers’ Gets Cut
"American Idol" viewers claim Wé Ani, one of the most talented singers in years, was ousted due to the popularity of country music which often dominates the finals. Despite earning standing ovations for her performances, Ani could not top the twangy sound of Meghan Danielle and Colin Stough from Team Country who made it to the finals alongside Iam Tongi. Fans took to Twitter, starting the hashtag to voice their disappointment with the reality TV competition's voting process.
However, judge Katy Perry sees no obstacle for Tongi, as she is the last singer remaining from Team Not-Country and still has a chance to be the next American Idol. Winning Idol does not guarantee success, as seen in talented "losers" such as Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, and Katharine McPhee.
