Pathetic decision from a powerless leader, troubling consequences of Joe’s inability and additional analysis
Libertarian: UK Crackdown on . . . Silent Prayer
There have been arrests in Britain for silently praying near abortion clinics, as highlighted by Reason Magazine’s Emma Camp. The 2014 Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act allows local authorities to ban activities like silent prayer in certain public places.
A recent case involved Adam Smith-Connor who was convicted of criminal charges for silently praying near an abortion clinic. The court deemed his prayer as an act of “disapproval of abortion” based on his posture during prayer.
Hawk: Lame Move From a Lame Duck
President Joe Biden is facing criticism for potentially influencing Britain to give up control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The Chagos archipelago hosts a critical US-UK military base, and transferring control to Mauritius could have negative consequences, allowing China to spy on the base.
Despite little logical reasoning for this transfer, Biden seems to have caved to pressure from certain groups. The potential consequences of this decision are concerning, especially in terms of national security.
Foreign desk: Grim Wages of Joe’s Weakness
A new book by Bob Woodward suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was partly driven by perceived weakness from President Biden’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. This weakness may also embolden Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Biden’s actions are seen as empowering hostile nations, putting Western democracies at risk. Ukraine and Israel, in particular, are feeling the effects of this weakness.

The controversy surrounding the handling of nursing homes during the pandemic continues to raise questions about Cuomo’s honesty and transparency.
Conservative: Dems Desperate as Elex Nears

Americans are feeling the impact of policies implemented under Harris’ leadership, leading to a desire for change. The upcoming election will test the Democrats’ ability to connect with voters and address their concerns effectively.
