Fox News: Thai activists sue government over alleged use of Pegasus spyware for surveillance
Two Thai activists are suing nine government agencies for using Pegasus spyware to infiltrate their mobile devices during a period of political unrest almost three years ago. They accuse the state agencies of unlawfully violating their privacy by spying on their smartphones using the spyware produced by the Israeli-based cybersecurity company NSO Group. The activists are seeking a court injunction to halt the use of Pegasus against them and others, as well as the release of government data on its use of the spyware.
NSO Group’s products, including the Pegasus software, are typically licensed only to government intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate terrorism and serious crime, according to the company’s website. Cybersecurity researchers have tracked the use of the spyware in 45 countries and claim those guidelines are not always honored. The spyware can be installed remotely onto a target’s phone without the target having to click any links or download software to become infected, making it useful for surveillance of political activists and groups.

PJ Media: Chris Christie Endorses Child Mutilation
Chris Christie supports access to transgender procedures for children with parental consent, contrasting with many Republican governors and presidential candidates who have banned such procedures for minors. However, even states that allow for such procedures require consent from at least one parent. Christie's position is essentially meaningless, but it highlights the divide among Republicans on this issue. Emotional blackmail of parents has been reported, despite no evidence of medical benefits or decreased suicide risk. Studies show that up to 90% of young people who identify as transgender but are not encouraged to transition will no longer identify as such upon reaching adulthood.

Washington Free Beacon: Blinken's Weak Taiwan Remark Paves The Way for Chinese Invasion, Critics Say
Republican lawmakers allege that Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement affirming the US's longstanding policy of not supporting Taiwan's independence could invite Chinese aggression towards the contested island. Representative Jim Banks, a member of the House Select Committee on China, cited that Blinken's statement essentially gave Chairman Xi a two-year window to invade Taiwan. Blinken's conciliatory tone did little to soothe the Republican lawmakers' concerns about the US being bullied by Beijing, as they felt the trip failed to yield significant diplomatic breakthroughs.

Foreign Policy: Israeli Discrimination May Be Written Into U.S. Law
The U.S. plans to admit Israel to the selective U.S. Visa Waiver Program, but only if it can end discriminatory treatment of Americans based on national origin, religion, or political views. The principle of reciprocity requires that Americans be treated the same as the nationals of the participating country, but Israel's reported exemption of Americans with Palestinian IDs from the waiver violates this. Such an agreement would normalize ethnoreligious discrimination and racial profiling of American citizens, and no other country in the waiver program has had difficulty committing to reciprocity. Previous administrations refrained from pursuing a visa agreement with Israel due to discrimination at Israeli-controlled border crossings, and a mechanism must be put in place to ensure compliance before admittance into the program.
The Epoch Times: Stop Talking With Communist China, Start Defending America
The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, failed to negotiate with China, with his "deep" kowtowing astounding onlookers, and accomplished nothing. Blinken abandoned any support for Taiwan's independence, while wrongly stating that China's economic success is in the US's interest. Communist China led by Xi Jinping has continued its aggression towards the US with their economic policies, hacking of American PCs, intellectual property theft, counterfeiting, piracy, technology theft, coup subsidies, state-owned enterprises, and harmful currency manipulation.

Fox News: Random murder of pregnant Seattle restaurant owner leaves community on edge: 'shattered'
Pregnant Seattle woman, Eina Kwon, was shot and killed by an ex-convict with a history of mental health issues in front of her husband while they were stopped at a red light. The suspect, Cordell Maurice Goosby, is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder and is being held on $10 million bond. Eina Kwon was eight months pregnant and lost her child as a result of the shooting.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blames the “senseless gun violence” for the death of Eina Kwon and says there are “too many guns on our streets.” Goosby allegedly used a stolen gun in the shooting and was barred from owning a firearm because of his Illinois criminal record. Goosby can only be charged for the death of a person who is born alive under Washington state law, but prosecutors and investigators are reviewing medical records to determine whether to bring an additional murder charge. The family has set up a GoFundMe page that has raised over $236,000 to date. Sung Kwon, Eina Kwon's husband, tried to protect her during the unprovoked attack and even made a tourniquet using his clothes before she passed away at Harborview Medical Center.

PJ Media: The Big-City Murder Rate Is Falling and the Reason Won't Surprise You
Murder rates in the United States have dropped about 12% in 2023 in over 90 cities that have released data for the year. Before this decrease, big-city mayors hired more cops and many departments reinstituted "aggressive policing methods" to deal with the high number of shootings and murders in 2020. It's possible that police departments have returned to some proactive work they curtailed during the COVID pandemic and after George Floyd, activities that may be inhibiting some gun violence.

The Epoch Times: Synthetic Human Embryos Are Created, Raises Questions
Scientists have successfully created synthetic human embryos using stem cells, however, many legal and ethical issues exist. Stem cells have been used to create synthetic models of human embryos that mimic the early stages of human development, providing the opportunity for scientists to test the effect of different diseases on human genetics. These synthetic embryos, created without the use of eggs or sperm, are some of the earliest stages of human development and pose legal and ethical issues as they break the current legislation in countries such as the UK.
The 14-day rule dictates that scientists can only conduct research up to day fourteen of fertilization, and such regulations may prevent further breakthroughs in the study of such development. Creating synthetic embryos could have a profound impact on human reproduction and genetic research, with the potential to produce a whole organism, and thus raises ethical concerns about the potential for misuse, exploitation, or unintended consequences .
The Epoch Times: Scientists Have Created Synthetic Human Embryos
Scientists have reportedly created synthetic human-like embryos from embryonic stem cells, which could lead to more knowledge about human development and genetic disorders. The embryos were created from a single stem cell and grew to a stage just beyond the 14-day developmental mark for a human embryo. The current legal limit to how long a human embryo can develop in a lab is 14 days, but these synthetic embryos developed past this point. While the development is seen as a significant advance, there are also moral quandaries around creating living human-like beings only to conduct research on them.
While these synthetic human-like embryos potentially offer valuable knowledge into human developmental issues, there are questions about their viability and usefulness for research. The embryos were created from human embryonic stem cells, meaning they still require human embryos for their creation. Moreover, studies with mice and monkeys suggest that synthetic embryos are incapable of developing into a full living being, which hampers their potential as research models. There is also the concern over the morality of creating living human-like beings just for research purposes, raising questions around the ethical implications of such experimentation.
