The Western Journal: Melania Claims Another Scalp, And This One's from a Bald Cajun - Good
First Lady Melania Trump successfully compelled apologies from James Carville and the Daily Beast for false claims linking her to Jeffrey Epstein and suggesting she was an escort. Carville retracted his comments after legal intervention, while the Daily Beast removed its article and issued an apology.
This incident highlights Melania Trump's determination to combat defamatory narratives from the media, following previous legal victories against similar allegations. Her actions serve as a reminder for conservatives to respond firmly to media attacks.
GB News: 'Debanking' BANNED in America in major free speech victory
President Trump has signed an executive order preventing banks from denying financial services based on political or religious views, citing past experiences with JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America during his presidency. He claims that these institutions participated in surveillance against conservatives and that debanking undermines a free society.
In response, JP Morgan denied closing accounts for political reasons, while Trump accused the Biden administration of pressuring regulators to target conservative transactions. This executive order follows controversies, including Nigel Farage's settlement with NatWest over the closure of his account, which was linked to his political beliefs.
Le Monde: Direct mayoral elections in Paris, Lyon, Marseille get green light from France's top court
The Constitutional Council has approved the "PLM" law, reforming the election process for Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, aligning it with other French municipalities. Starting March 2026, residents will vote directly for their mayors and arrondissement councilors on the same day.

The Federalist: Trump Targets 'Experts' Funneling Tax Dollars To Leftist Projects
President Trump signed an executive order to reform federal grant oversight, placing political appointees in charge instead of career bureaucrats. This aims to ensure taxpayer dollars are used in alignment with the elected president's agenda and to eliminate funding for projects deemed harmful or ideologically driven.
The order mandates that grants cannot support initiatives that promote racial discrimination, illegal immigration, or anti-American values. It also streamlines the application process to make it more accessible and requires interagency coordination to avoid duplicating funding.

The Federalist: Gun-Free Zones Like Fort Stewart Invite Mass Shootings
A mass shooting at Fort Stewart military base left five soldiers wounded by an Army sergeant who illegally carried a firearm. Military regulations disarm law-abiding soldiers while leaving them vulnerable to attackers who exploit gun-free zones, as seen in previous incidents.
The current policies restrict soldiers from carrying firearms on base, despite their training and experience with weapons. This creates an environment where potential shooters feel secure in targeting unarmed victims, raising questions about the effectiveness of gun control measures in protecting military personnel.

The Federalist: Neuroscience Offers Evidence For The Existence Of The Soul
Dr. Michael Egnor's book, "The Immortal Mind," argues for the existence of the soul, drawing on neuroscience cases like split-brain patients and conjoined twins. Egnor suggests that while the brain affects perception and memory, abstract reasoning and will are independent, indicating a distinction between mind and brain.
Egnor posits that the mind transcends the brain, aligning with ancient philosophical views on the soul's essence, which encompasses reason and will. He contends that modern neuroscience supports these philosophical insights, challenging the reductionist view of humans as merely biological entities.
