Political Figures and Celebrities Face Scrutiny in Recent Opinion Pieces
Some writers are talking about important people and stories.
One writer thinks a politician named Gavin Newsom should be like an old president named FDR and make everyone feel included.
Another writer thinks it's silly that a famous athlete, Tom Brady, cloned his dog instead of adopting one, saying it costs too much money that could help other dogs.
A third writer is concerned that President Trump is focusing on Gaza but not enough on the West Bank in the Middle East.
Lastly, a writer discusses a new movie in the 'Predator' series, saying it has become feminist by showing a female character overcome challenges.
These pieces offer different opinions on what people are doing and what it means.
Gavin Newsom is advised to adopt Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'big-tent' government approach to regain relevance.
Tom Brady's decision to clone his dog is criticized as an extravagant $50,000 branding opportunity rather than a rescue.
Hagai El-Ad suggests that Donald Trump's administration, while considering protection for Gaza, is neglecting the escalating situation in the West Bank.
The 'Predator' franchise's latest installment, 'Badlands,' is noted for its feminist themes and a story about overcoming disadvantages.
