Liberty Nation News: Reparations – A Democrat Scheme to Retain the Black Vote? - Liberty Nation News
President Trump has gained unprecedented support from black voters for a Republican, challenging the Democratic narrative of him as a racist. This shift has prompted some Democrats to push for federal reparations, suggesting that financial compensation could sway black voters rather than genuine outreach.
Proponents argue for a reparations commission, but the logistics and fairness of such a proposal raise concerns. Determining eligibility based on ancestry could be complex and contentious, potentially leading to fraud. Critics assert that financial payouts won't address the deeper issues of racism and may serve as a political strategy to secure votes in upcoming elections.
Liberty Nation News: Hawaii Cherry-Picks Its Climate Change Fight With Oil Companies - Liberty Nation News
Fifteen states have sued President Trump over his national energy emergency declaration aimed at expanding oil and gas production. Concurrently, several Democratic states are pursuing lawsuits against major oil companies, alleging their products contribute to climate change. Critics argue that political favoritism is at play, as some companies, notably Par Pacific, were excluded from lawsuits despite significant contributions to Democratic campaigns.
The ongoing legal battles reflect a broader conflict over energy policy, with Republican states challenging the lawsuits and the Supreme Court rejecting their claims. The situation raises questions about whether these legal actions are genuinely about climate change or a strategy to impose a Green New Deal through the courts.

The Telegraph: Design of ‘unsinkable’ Bayesian yacht ‘partly to blame’ for capsizing
A superyacht owned by tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch capsized off Sicily due to design flaws and lack of crew knowledge, according to a UK investigation. The vessel sank in 16 minutes during a severe storm, resulting in the deaths of Lynch and six others, including his daughter.
The report contradicts the builders' claims of the yacht being "unsinkable," attributing the tragedy to a combination of design weaknesses and extreme weather conditions.
GB News: 'Utter disgrace!' Adam Brooks unleashes furious rant at NHS for 'treating trans toddlers' - 'I blame the parents'
Adam Brooks has criticized the NHS for treating transgender children, labeling it "an utter disgrace" and "child abuse." He claims that nursery-age children are receiving treatment after the NHS relaxed its guidelines, with concerns that many referred children have mental health issues.
Brooks argues that the push for gender treatment is driven by a "trans agenda" and calls for investigations into parents promoting this ideology. The NHS is set to release new guidance allowing treatment for children of any age, despite previous restrictions based on age and mental health assessments.

Times Of Israel: Trump’s sanctions on ICC prosecutor said to have halted tribunal’s work
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is facing significant operational challenges due to sanctions imposed by former President Donald Trump on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. These sanctions have led to frozen bank accounts, loss of email access, and warnings to American staffers about potential arrest if they travel to the U.S. The sanctions were enacted following the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli officials, which the U.S. claims undermines its sovereignty.
As a result, cooperation from NGOs and contractors has diminished, hampering the ICC's ability to investigate war crimes and genocide. The situation has raised concerns about the court's future viability, with some staffers questioning whether it can endure the current political climate.
Le Monde: Ukraine-Russia talks in Turkey set to begin, without Putin
A Russian delegation arrived in Istanbul for peace talks with Ukraine, marking the first such discussions in over three years. However, President Putin did not attend, sending a lower-level team instead, which raises doubts about the talks' potential for progress.
Ukraine's President Zelensky emphasized that negotiations should involve Putin directly, as Russia's demands remain firm and concessions unlikely. Both sides' positions are far apart, with Ukraine calling for a ceasefire and refusing to recognize Russian-occupied territories.
