Fox News: Italian rescuers find no trace of distressed vessel carrying 500 migrants in Mediterranean
Italian humanitarian group Emergency said it could not find any trace of a boat carrying 500 migrants in distress, including a newborn, despite a search in the Mediterranean.

Italian rescuers have yet to find any physical evidence pointing toward the vessel carrying 500 migrants that disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea. The Libyan coast guard did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Forbes: Biden Incorrectly Says He Has 4 Granddaughters (He Has 5) In Latest Gaffe

The Epoch Times: NYC Commission Votes to Freeze Municipal Deposits at Capital One, KeyBank
New York City’s banking commission has voted to freeze new deposits at Capital One Bank and KeyBank, citing the banks’ lack of a plan to “root out discrimination” in their operation. The commission's three members made the unanimous decision due to Capital One and KeyBank failing to certify their policies of non-discrimination, and they will now be barred from renewing contracts or entering new agreements with the city during the suspension. The banks are set to lose the opportunity to receive approximately $17.2 million in public funds over the two-year ban period, according to reports.
While New York City has shown its commitment to progressive social causes, such as non-discrimination policies, several Republican-led states have been boycotting banks that adopt the left-wing “woke” ideology. In Texas, a law bans government entities from working with financial institutions that contract with banks with Environmental, Social and Governance policies against fossil fuels and firearms industries. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton dropped Citigroup from a planned $4.3 billion municipal bond deal and said the company discriminates against firearms manufacturers, while the author of the law, Glenn Hegar said the ESG framework was a campaign by financial institutions to push a political agenda while restricting access to capital needed by the oil and gas industry, a critical sector of the state’s economy.

Red State: Jill Biden Has Truly Pathetic 'Please Clap' Moment, WH 'Record' Fails to Reflect It
Jill Biden's need for status has hurt the country, and her path to obtaining her Ed.D. for the title has been pathetic. The White House insists on calling her "Dr." for the status, but most people who have earned this degree don't care outside of the academic setting. Jill Biden had a "please clap" moment during her speech at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education. She spoke about unity, but the audience didn't clap because they know her radical leftist values have divided the country. The official transcript of her remarks is not available to prevent embarrassing moments.
American Thinker: Fact-check needed: Dementia Joe declares that ‘guns remain the number one killer of children in America’
Joe Biden tweeted that guns are the number one killer of children in America and it's time to act. However, his son Hunter was irresponsible with firearms, having left a gun in a trash can across from a school. Hunter also lied on the federal form when purchasing a gun, recording "no" to a question about drug use. In reality, more children die from abortion each year than from gun abuse. Those who want gun control are often hypocritical when it comes to firearm responsibility.

The January 6 committee was dissolved after the Republicans took over the lower house of congress earlier this year.

Fox News: Social media is victimizing our children, but we aren't helpless to save them
Social media apps collect personal data to addict children with harmful content. The Surgeon General just released an advisory about the risk of harm to children and adolescents due to social media. The bipartisan Protecting Kids on Social Media Act requires parental consent for teenagers under 18 to use social media and bans it outright for children under 13. The bill would also prevent social media companies from using personalized algorithms to promote harmful content to underage users. Opponents argue age verification online is impossible. However, third-party companies already verify ages for government agencies. Parents need to control their children's social media usage.

The New American: Latest Attack on Christianity: Forgiveness Is BAD, a “Religious Construct” - The New American
An Independent article by Canadian novelist Miriam Toews, claims that “forgiveness is a religious construct, a means of maintaining the status quo." Toews views forgiveness as permission and inadequate for real change, and used her novel, Women Talking, to explore this. The article was met with a flurry of criticism from internet commenters, stating that forgiveness is necessary for one's own emotional health, and is essential in propelling society forward. The biblical injunction emphasizing forgiveness is often understood as the key to the advancement of humanity. A lack of forgiveness is oppressive and restricts individual growth, as forgiveness dispels the darkness of toxic emotions. By forgiving and releasing anger, perception is sharpened and a more ethereal view of the world can be attained.
