PJ Media: Leaked DeSantis Camp Audio Foreshadows General Election Pivot on Abortion
DeSantis campaign aides reassure wealthy donors on abortion access, alluding to a "general election pivot" to soften the stance. Donors are influential in politicians' platforms, and candidates need their funding to remain viable. The issue highlights the unseen power of mega-wealthy donors, who can influence political campaigns behind closed doors. The debate will most likely occur during the primary, and the donor class may ultimately coalesce around a candidate that is not DeSantis or Trump. The assurance of moderation from the DeSantis camp is likely welcome news for those who miss the days of more traditional Republicanism.

Flag And Cross: Matt Walsh Torches Leftists After Outrage Over Their Common Insult Being Labeled as 'Racial Slur'
Matt Walsh criticizes the left’s diversity initiatives and calls out the use of the term "Karen" as an anti-white slur. He points out that diversity initiatives almost always focus on ethnic minorities, but when a diversity officer hosted a panel suggesting that people should not use ethnic slurs against whites, she was fired. Walsh argues that the reason employees were angry is that the event suggested that ethnic minorities should be held to the same standards as white people when it comes to race relations. He also notes that the term "Karen" is essentially a racial slur against white women, but no one wants to acknowledge it. The left's diversity initiatives are now coming back to bite them, as they are being reminded that an end to racism means an end to racism against white people as well.

Carnell was reportedly relieved that Target dropped the line due to threats he has received because of the controversy. The boycott has already cost Target $9 billion.

Breitbart: Biden Admin 'Stonewalling' Attempts to Unseal Prince Harry's Visa Details
The United States Biden administration is being accused of “stonewalling” attempts to reveal details about Prince Harry’s visa application to the US under Freedom of Information laws. Prince Harry, who moved to California to pursue money-making ventures in Hollywood, faced questions about his American visa given his admission of drug use in his memoir Spare. The conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, criticised the government’s decision to deny a Freedom of Information request, arguing that the Duke’s admissions are grounds for a denial of a visa. The Heritage Foundation will now seek a hearing before the US District Court for the District of Columbia in an attempt to overrule the administration’s ruling.

Forbes: This Radical Change Would Fuel WNBA Growth: Lower The Rim
The WNBA has made progress in recent years, but the pay disparity between female and male basketball players is still shocking, with the average WNBA salary being $100,000 compared to the NBA's $10 million. The WNBA also has a significantly smaller audience, with average viewership around 321,00 compared to the NBA's 1.6 million. The solution is to lower the height of the rim for women's basketball from 10 feet to 9 feet, leveling the playing field and allowing for more electrifying displays of athleticism, including dunks and alley-oops. This would attract a wider audience, making women's basketball mainstream and increasing revenue for players.
