Rapper Snoop Dogg’s 24-year-old daughter‚ Cori Broadus‚ said this week that she was hospitalized after suffering a “severe stroke.” Broadus made the announcement Thursday on social media‚ which included photos from her hospital bed. “I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me‚” she wrote. “Like I’m only 24‚ what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.” No details were shared about what led to her stroke or if she had an ischemic stroke‚ which occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain; or if she had a hemorrhagic stroke‚ which happens when an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures‚ according to the CDC. Cori Broadus was diagnosed with Lupus‚ an autoimmune disease that targets healthy tissue and organs throughout the body‚ when she was only six years old. “No one could tell me what was wrong‚” said Shanté Broadus‚ the rapper’s wife‚ in 2010. “They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells. They gave her all kinds of [medication]. But she went downhill.” “She’s the toughest little thing I’ve ever met‚” Snoop Dogg‚ whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.‚ also said at the time. “She’s on the honor roll‚ playing volleyball and softball‚ living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is.” In 2021‚ Cori Broadus revealed that she had experienced serious mental health struggles‚ including a suicide attempt‚ stemming from her illness. Then 21 at the time‚ she said that she had become frustrated by comparing her life to others and feeling as though her struggles were not important to others‚ according to People.

I don’t know how to explain it‚” she said. “I’ve always been sad. I’ve always been depressed. I feel like I’ve been through a lot.” “I’ve been sick‚ I am sick. It’s a lot. Body hurting‚ you’re just in pain‚ and you’re so young you’re like‚ ‘What is happening to me? What is going on?'” she continued. “And then you look at your brothers and your other family members like ‘Why me?’ Not saying I wish they had it‚ but why me? Why am I going through this? Why did God choose me?”

He also signed a bill protecting babies after 15 weeks in 2022‚ effectively banning late-term abortions in the state of Florida. The 51st annual March for Life will take place on Friday in Washington‚ D.C. House Speaker Mike Johnson‚ R-La.‚ will be speaking at the march‚ in addition to a number of prominent pro-life voices including former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson. This year’s march has as its theme “with every woman‚ for every child‚” stressing the importance of supporting both mother and child post the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The Daily Signal also reached out to 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley about the pro-life demonstration. In a statement‚ Haley‚ formerly the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and governor of South Carolina‚ expressed gratitude to those who will march on Friday. “To all those who are marching for life today‚ thank you‚” she said. “Thank you for fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves and thank you for reminding the world that every life is special in the eyes of God.”  Former President Donald Trump spoke at the March for Life in January 2020‚ the first president to ever address the pro-life demonstration in person. “Together‚ we are the voice for the voiceless‚” the former president told the crowds as they chanted‚ “Four more years! Four more years!” “You stand for life each and every day‚” he continued. “You provide housing‚ education‚ jobs‚ and medical care to the women that you serve.  You find loving families for children in need of a forever home.  You host baby showers for expecting moms.  You just make it your life’s mission to help spread God’s grace.” “We cannot know what our citizens yet unborn will achieve‚ the dreams they will imagine‚ the masterpieces they will create‚ the discoveries they will make‚” Trump added. “But we know this: Every life brings love into this world.  Every child brings joy to a family.  Every person is worth protecting.  And above all‚ we know that every human soul is divine‚ and every human life—born and unborn— is made in the holy image of Almighty God.” On Thursday‚ President Joe Biden was questioned by a reporter about the March for Life. “The March for Life is tomorrow in Washington‚ D.C.‚” asked the reporter. “What’s your message to those attending?” “March‚” Biden responded.

President Joe Biden’s White House notoriously helped craft the National School Boards Association’s letter comparing concerned parents to domestic terrorists back in October 2021. That letter‚ later retracted‚ led to an FBI memo‚ also later retracted. But last year‚ the Southern Poverty Law Center carried on this theme by adding parental rights groups to its “hate map‚” which puts conservative groups alongside the Ku Klux Klan. SPLC leaders and staff met with White House officials at least 11 times since January 2021‚ when Biden took office‚ and Biden nominated an SPLC attorney to a federal appeals court. The SPLC’s ties with the Biden administration raise troubling questions about whether the administration plans to target concerned parents again. Yet new evidence suggests that the SPLC may have been involved in the original effort to target concerned parents‚ and may play a role in the Biden administration’s “domestic terrorism” efforts. In fall 2021‚ around the time of the school board association’s letter‚ SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged in a donor meeting that many agencies in the Biden administration had approached the center to craft a domestic terrorism strategy. “I think there’s no question that we are unparalleled in our abilities to track and monitor the hate and extremist groups in the country‚ and I can tell you that we’ve had many agencies in the new Biden administration reaching out to solicit our expertise and our knowledge and information to help shape the policies that the new administration is adopting to counter the domestic terrorism threat‚” Ms. Huang said in a fundraising event video‚ first published by The Daily Signal. As I wrote in my book “Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center‚” critics have long noted that the center’s “hate” accusations exaggerate fears of terrorist threats‚ scaring donors to pony up cash. The SPLC has put parental rights groups such as Moms for Liberty‚ Parents Defending Education‚ and Courage Is a Habit on its hate map with the KKK. A former employee described such accusations as a “highly profitable scam.” The Southern Poverty Law Center’s attacks on parental rights groups are particularly revealing. The SPLC’s education arm‚ formerly known as Teaching Tolerance‚ has long advocated many of the ideas that the parental rights groups oppose. The program‚ now known as Learning for Justice‚ advocates ideas such as critical race theory‚ which teaches that American society is systematically racist in a way that oppresses blacks and privileges whites. The parental rights movement grew in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns‚ when students “attended class” over Zoom and parents got a glimpse of the radical ideas their children were learning. Parents raised concerns about teaching black students that they were oppressed and white students that they were oppressors‚ based merely on the color of their skin. Although the SPLC did not publicly move against these groups until 2023‚ it likely viewed them as an enemy from the beginning. Concerned parents have also demanded that schools remove books from school libraries on the grounds they contain pornographic images. The SPLC has condemned these efforts as “book bans‚” as has Biden. Before the SPLC put these groups on the hate map‚ one of its researchers compared the parental rights movement to the “uptown Klans” of the 1950s‚ when whites in the South tried to maintain segregation after the Supreme Court’s landmark 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. The SPLC maintains that these groups represent an “anti-student inclusion movement” driven by animus rather than a movement concerned about the radical ideas their children are learning. It is ironic that the Biden administration would coordinate with the Southern Poverty Law Center to oppose domestic terrorism. The SPLC’s hate map inspired an act of terror against the Family Research Council in Washington‚ and an SPLC lawyer faces domestic terrorism charges for his alleged role in a riot near Atlanta last March that featured Molotov cocktails. If the Biden administration considers the SPLC a reliable source on “domestic terrorism‚” that suggests that the administration may revive its efforts to crack down on concerned parents. Biden may have aborted the first effort‚ but Americans should remain alert.
