National Review National Affairs columnist John Fund says both the serious and less serious indictments on former US president Donald Trump have had the effect of the Republican Primary base turning him into "something like a martyr". "It has actually improved his electoral position," Mr Fund told Sky News Australia. Mr Fund explained the Supreme Court was likely to shut any state ballot bans down which would lead to the process being viewed as "ankle biting" by critics. "Since Trump was first indicted last March, he has gone up in the Republican polls," he said. "If Republican voters believe Trump's ongoing legal problems and ongoing controversies make him a less likely winner in the November general election in about 11 months, they may start moving away from him."

Spiked Online chief political reporter Brendan O’Neill warns there has been a “complete collapse” of moral authority in the West from the “woke left” since the Hamas attack on October 7. Actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry came under fire on social media for calling out the surge in anti-Semitism in the United Kingdom in his heartfelt Christmas message. “What is my message this Christmas? Simple truth that we are all brothers and sisters. It's naive, but it's as good a message as any other,” Fry said. Mr O’Neill condemned people who took offence to the actor’s message and pointed out the rise of anti-Semitism since Hamas’ attack on October 7. “The kind of people who posed as our moral superiors for the past few decades have been exposed as real lowlifes, I think, who don't actually care about racism, don't care about equality, certainly don't care about Jewish people, and are only interested in using so-called anti-racism as a way of fortifying their own cultural power over society,” he told Sky News host James Macpherson. “They really stand exposed and I think the fallout from the Fry video really demonstrates that even further.”

IDF Spokesperson Major Doron Spielman says around 8,000 Hamas fighters have been killed since the conflict in Gaza so far. Mr Spielman said the figures are based on intelligence, the interrogations of captives as well as satellite photos that have been gathered. “The issue is because each of the fighters are surrounding themselves with a blanket of civilians and are often located underground, underneath their homes it's difficult to come up with an assessment,” he told Sky News Australia. “The most accurate way of doing so is based on intelligence, it is based on integrations that happen afterwards, satellite photographs. “And we try to come up with a number not only so that we have a number, but so that we can try to understand how we are pinpointing terrorists and not civilians."
