GB News: Keir Starmer's small boat deal with France expires in less than a YEAR
The UK-France agreement on returning small boat migrants is set to expire in June 2026, raising concerns about Labour's strategy on Channel crossings. The deal requires renewal, coinciding with France's upcoming presidential election, which may lead to changes in policy.
The Home Office plans to assess Channel arrivals at the Manston facility, with some migrants potentially transferred to removal centers for deportation to France. Critics argue the arrangement is insufficient, especially as illegal crossings have surged this year, while pro-migrant groups prepare legal challenges against the new policy.

During a CNN panel, Van Jones attempted to assert a moral high ground regarding the Russia collusion narrative but faced backlash from conservative Scott Jennings. Jennings reminded Jones that Democrats had pursued legal action against Donald Trump, contradicting Jones's claim that no one was trying to imprison anyone.
Jones's comments were seen as revisionist, especially given the Democratic Party's past actions and sentiments towards dissenters during the pandemic. Jennings highlighted the fabricated nature of the Russiagate claims, arguing for accountability in light of the misleading narrative pushed by Democrats.

Fox News: Jim Acosta blasted on social media after 'interviewing' AI avatar of Parkland shooting victim
Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta faced backlash on social media after interviewing an AI-generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, a teenager killed in the 2018 Parkland shooting, to promote gun control. Critics condemned the interview as "grotesque," questioning the ethics of using a deceased person's likeness for political messaging.

Front Page Magazine: The Complicated History of the Albert Pike Memorial
The Trump administration is reinstating the Albert Pike Memorial, which was previously removed during BLM protests. While Pike, a Confederate figure, is largely viewed negatively today due to his racist and anti-Catholic views, the decision to restore the memorial emphasizes the principle of upholding the rule of law against vandalism.
The memorial was originally erected by Masons for reasons tied to internal Freemasonry politics, which are largely irrelevant today. The restoration is framed not as an endorsement of Pike, but as a commitment to legal processes regarding public monuments.

Front Page Magazine: Nuking Japan Saved More Lives Than It Took
Eighty years post-Hiroshima, Japan's ceremonies reflect a narrative of innocence while ignoring its militaristic past. Critics, including some former conservatives, label the atomic bombings as war crimes, despite evidence that conventional warfare would have resulted in far greater casualties.
The U.S. faced a potential invasion of Japan that could have claimed millions of lives. The atomic bomb ultimately prompted Japan's leadership to surrender, averting further bloodshed. Denial of these facts often stems from anti-American sentiments.

The American Mind: What Is Western Civilization?
The resurgence of Western civilization in education is marked by the revival of classical curricula and the Great Books, countering the 1980s trend that marginalized these subjects. This revival includes a focus on Latin and a broader understanding of Western heritage, emphasizing its political, linguistic, and cultural roots.
However, the movement faces challenges regarding inclusivity and the definition of Western civilization. Advocates must articulate a cohesive vision that incorporates diverse influences while maintaining a distinct identity tied to historical figures and events, like Columbus and the Roman Empire.
