Daily Signal: Abortion Apathy Akin to Civil War-Era Indifference to Slavery

National Review: There Is Still No Freeze on the $6B Biden Transferred to Iran, via Qatar
Contrary to spin and media repetition, President Biden's decision to transfer $6 billion to Qatar for Iran's benefit has not been "refrozen." The money, generated by Iranian oil sales to South Korea, was transferred to Qatar with the understanding that Iran would not possess it and that Qatar would manage its disbursement. The United States has no authority to halt any disbursement made by Qatar on Iran's behalf. The recent announcement of a revised understanding between the U.S. and Qatar does not change the fact that Iran can still benefit from the transfer of funds. The Biden administration has no control over the money, which is now under Qatari control. Legislation proposed to refreeze the funds cannot move due to the lack of a functioning Congress. The United States government no longer has the power to freeze the funds, and America's only recourse is to rely on the cooperation of the Qatari regime.
PJ Media: Hey AOC, There Is No Moral Equivalency Between Hamas and Israel
The left supports Palestine and Gaza despite the historical fallacies and anti-Semitism involved. They claim Israel's retaliation is disproportionate, but ignore the horrors committed by Hamas. Israel strives to protect civilians, while Hamas targets them. The principle of proportionality is being twisted to condemn Israel's actions. We must not be swayed by this propaganda and remember that Israel defends itself and aims to remove the evil of Hamas. There is no moral equivalency, and we must not let anti-Israel rhetoric go unanswered.

He warned Iran not to interfere and discussed efforts to prevent attacks on synagogues and Jewish people in the U.S. Biden also addressed the difficulties of helping Palestinian civilians caught in the conflict and spoke to families affected by the attacks. Former President Trump criticized CBS for their interview with Biden, accusing them of protecting him.

National Review: Britain Canceled Its Wasteful Rail Project. Will California?
The UK government has canceled the second leg of the High Speed 2 rail project due to escalating costs and delays. Only the London-to-Birmingham portion will now be built. The project has faced numerous cost increases and is not estimated to be completed until 2041. In contrast, Republicans governors in the US who refused federal funding for high-speed rail projects, such as Scott Walker, Rick Scott, and John Kasich, were reelected. California should follow the UK's example and cancel its own costly and never-ending rail project.

Flag And Cross: New Research Reveals Lack Of Awareness On Breast Cancer Symptoms
New research finds that most adults recognize lumps as a symptom of breast cancer, but are unaware of other common symptoms, such as nipple changes, breast puckering, and thickening of the skin. Screening mammography is crucial for early detection, but individuals should also be familiar with their own breast tissue and seek medical attention for concerning symptoms. Many breast changes are normal, but it is important to address any concerns promptly. Breast cancer affects both women and men, and individuals should be empowered to seek medical attention, especially if there is a family history. Few people believe they will get the disease, but it is important to be informed about personal cancer risks and to discuss screening plans with doctors.
Flag And Cross: Americans Delay Doctor Visits Until 'Extremely Wrong' Symptoms, Survey Finds
Nearly two-thirds of Americans only go to the doctor when something feels "extremely wrong," with men being more reactive than women. Many have not had essential screenings in the past five years, and only 48% of insured respondents have received a physical exam in the past year. There is a lack of health literacy and trust in healthcare providers, leading to delayed or forgone care. Access to medical care is difficult for over half of respondents, and more education about the importance of screenings is needed. Furthermore, many do not have a rainy day fund for emergency medical needs. Overall, preventive care is crucial for better health outcomes and overall societal benefits.

Most companies struggle when it comes to data analysis, with up to 85% of projects failing or encountering serious issues.

The key is to focus on generating insights and keep moving forward.

American Thinker: Greenies befuddled at how teeming reefs full of sea life spring forth from old abandoned oil rigs
Being a greenie lefty is tough when nature proves that old abandoned oil rigs are actually thriving ecosystems. Marine biologists have observed hundreds of thousands of juvenile rockfish, mussels, and other sea life finding shelter and food around these structures. However, environmental groups argue that these rigs are an eyesore and let fossil fuel companies off the hook. The left is divided between embracing these accidental oases and advocating for a clean environment at sea. It's a battle between abundant sea life and visual pollution.
Red State: Taylor Swift Overtakes Movie Theaters - Just How Massive Was Her ‘Eras Tour' Concert Film This Weekend?
Superstar singer Taylor Swift has taken the world by storm with her global concert tour, Capital One commercials, and tabloid relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce.

American Thinker: Carbon capture schemes carry grave risk of injury and death when they fail
The government's implementation of "carbon capture" and sequestering schemes is turning a non-pollutant gas into a toxic threat that harms and kills. Recent incidents like a failed CO2 pipeline in Satartia, Mississippi and the deadly Lake Nyos disaster in Cameroon highlight the dangers of CO2 pipelines and the lack of regulations surrounding them. While some are paying attention to these risks, the leftist climate change policy continues to ignore the consequences, leading to destruction and communist-like agendas. Critics of the "green" agenda are often dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite sounding the alarm on the potential harm caused by government policies.
