Given the history of the various Middle Eastern peace proposals of one kind or another that have briefly raised their heads only to die ingloriously, it would perhaps be wise to consider the latest Israel-Gaza ceasefire, originally due to start on Sunday, to be, like Sinatra's soup, a work in progress. And maybe not even really in progress due to likely hidden agendas and understandings that might run counter to what is being put down on paper.

In his confirmation hearing before the Foreign Relations Committee, Marco Rubio laid out the incoming administration's foreign policy agenda. Rubio emphasized a sharp pivot toward confronting China, curtailing US involvement in Ukraine, and reprioritizing America's national interests. Rubio, a Republican senator from Florida, opened his remarks by framing the challenges the US faces today as a continuation of the post-World War II struggle to create a stable global order. However, he criticized past bipartisan efforts, stating, "The postwar global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us."

Internal messages consistently showed CNN reporters and editors disparaging Young — and casting doubt on their story about him The jury in the bombshell defamation suit against CNN found the liberal network defamed Navy veteran Zachary Young by airing coverage that portrayed him as an "illegal profiteer" who operated in a "black market" when he worked to evacuate Afghans during the chaotic U.S. withdrawal. As a result, the left-wing network is on the hook for $5 million in economic and emotional damages — in addition to punitive damages whose values are to remain confidential. Young alleged that the November 2021 report, which aired on The Lead with Jake Tapper, irreparably harmed his reputation and his business, Nemex Enterprises. He testified that he hasn't worked or made money since the segment ran. The jury awarded Young $4 million for economic and $1 million for emotional damages.

⚔️ Curse tablet found in Roman-era grave in France targets enemies by invoking Mars, the god of war

Excavation of a Roman-era cemetery in France yielded nearly two dozen lead tablets inscribed in Latin and Gaulish. Archaeologists in France have discovered dozens of Roman-era graves of men who were buried with "curse tablets," at least one of which was written in an extinct language. Excavations underneath an 18th-century hospital in the town of Orléans, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of Paris, have revealed more than 60 burials arranged in a single row along a wall. The cemetery, which dates from the end of the first century to the beginning of the third century, was atypical for this time because the burials were dug in a row, there were no women or children, there were traces of painted wooden coffins, and there were no cremations. This could mean that the dead were from a particular group, such as members of the same profession, according to the Orléans Archaeology Service, which excavated the site. Even more unusual was the discovery of 21 curse tablets, which are...

According to The Times, the inquiry by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) "barely scratched the surface," focusing instead on lower-ranking officers. This revelation comes despite evidence of systemic failings that allowed the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 young girls between 1997 and 2013 by groups of predominantly Pakistani men.

📰 Trump demands "all records to be preserved" as FBI nukes DEI office

Fox News confirmed on Thursday that the FBI has shuttered its Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI). Shortly after the announcement, President-elect Donald Trump called for "all records" related to the woke unit of the federal agency to be preserved. The move comes amid a broader rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across corporate America and other parts of the federal government. Critics, including Trump, argue that prioritizing DEI over meritocracy in the last decade has harmed the nation, pledging that meritocracy will be made great again under his incoming administration. "In recent weeks, the FBI took steps to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024," the FBI informed Fox News. The federal agency — widely criticized for being weaponized by radical leftists to target political opponents — offered no explanation for the sudden closure of its DEI unit — speculation, however, as a new sheriff steps into the White House...

It doesn't bode well that the next U.S. Secretary of State begins his top-flight position in government by telling blatant lies and fatuities. Marco Rubio (53) is a sure bet to be confirmed as America's most senior international envoy representing the new administration of President Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated in the White House on Monday. This week, Florida Senator Rubio appeared before the Senate in confirmation hearings for his post. Rubio has been a senator since 2011 and has served on foreign relations and intelligence committees. Despite bitter personal clashes with Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign, Rubio was picked for the top diplomat post in the incoming administration. The confirmation is a done deal given his deep connections in Congress among Republicans and Democrats. The ambitious son of Cuban immigrants is known for his hawkish views. He previously called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "thug" and described Russia as a "gangster state with nuclear...
