There’s something extraordinary about a voice that can lift you out of reality and carry you somewhere else entirely, a voice that doesn’t just sing the notes but pulls at the soul, weaving sound and emotion into one seamless moment. Progressive rock has always lived in that space between intellect and heart, between musical complexity and unfiltered feeling, and for decades it has given rise to some of the most spellbinding female vocalists in all of music. These women didn’t just sing their parts. They built worlds inside songs. They blurred the lines between rock, classical, and the theatrical.

News My Hero Academia Netflix’s My Hero Academia Has One Big Advantage Over Other Live-Action Anime, Says Writer Jason Fuchs Writer Jason Fuchs shared that creator Kōhei Horikoshi is intimately involved in the project. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on October 20, 2025 Screenshot: Crunchyroll Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Crunchyroll Netflix’s live-action feature adaptation of the popular manga, My Hero Academia, is moving along, with IT: Welcome to Derry co-creator Jason Fuchs currently on board to pen the script. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fuchs said that this adaptation will be a success à la One Piece for one main reason: Creator Kōhei Horikoshi is intimately involved in the process. “There’s no treatment, there’s no outline, there’s no scenes, there’s no nothing that Kōhei doesn’t give notes on, react to [with] thumbs up, thumbs down,” Fuchs said. “That makes me feel really confident that we’re gonna deliver something that fans, like myself, feel great about.” My Hero Academia started out as a manga in 2014 and takes place in a world where 80 percent of people manifest a superpower, which is called a “quirk.” It follows high school student Izuku Midoriya (aka Deku), who was born quirkless but ends up at a school that trains heroes. The manga has expanded into several spinoffs, an anime television series, and four anime features. Netflix’s effort will be the first time the material is conveyed in live-action format. And while the project is still in its early days, according to Fuchs, the writer feels confident he can convey the crux of the story through his script. “You want to do something that fans feel respects the canon and the original, but also find an access point for people who’ve never read [the manga], who’s never seen the first films,” he said. He added that Deku, for example, is “a young man who is in that 20 percent of quirkless people in a world where everyone has something special. You connect with him so quickly. You connect with all these characters. Being faithful to those characters informs all of it.” No news on when the live-action adaptation of My Hero Academia will go into production, much less make its way to Netflix.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Virginia Democrat governor candidate Abigail Spanberger has presented herself as a moderate on transgender issues, claiming she supports parental input and local control, but a major donation from a transgender activist appears to give the lie to her trans triangulation. “If you want to know who Abigail Spanberger is, follow the money,” Peyton Vogel, the press secretary for Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, Spanberger’s Republican opponent, told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. “Is this why she can’t answer the straightforward question: Do men belong in girls’ sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms?” During the gubernatorial debate against Earle-Sears on Oct. 9, Spanberger repeatedly refused to answer direct questions about whether men who identify as transgender should be able to access girls’ bathrooms and play on girls’ sports teams. “I think it’s important that we have parents and teachers and administrators making decisions about their individual schools, not politicians,” Spanberger said. This local control position appears to conflict with the Democrat’s record in Congress of sponsoring and repeatedly voting for H.R. 5, “The Equality Act,” which would amend federal civil rights legislation to force not just all schools in Virginia but throughout the country to allow men and boys who claim to identify as women into girls’ bathrooms and sports. ?SPANBERGER DODGESTom Schaad directly asks Abigail Spanberger if she would reverse Glenn Youngkin's policy keeping boys out of girls' restrooms. She refuses to answer, when asked repeatedly.? pic.twitter.com/rAPzGa4hYO— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 9, 2025 David Steinglass and his wife Elizabeth each gave $50,000 to Spanberger’s campaign on Sept. 25, according to campaign finance records. He had previously given $22,500 to the campaign. Who Is David Steinglass? Steinglass describes himself as a “donor activist for transgender rights” on his verified LinkedIn profile. Last year, he announced that after “26 years as a private equity investor,” he would dedicate himself “full-time to advancing the rights of transgender people.” “First step has been to find a community of people for whom transgender rights are non-negotiable,” he wrote. “We are calling the group the TransAction Alliance and our focus is on identifying philanthropic and political funding gaps in supporting and lifting up the trans community and funding those gaps in conjunction with other individual donors, institutional funders, and a nascent giving circle of small-dollar donors.” “We believe that the far right has over-reached in its demonization and persecution of transgender people and that most Americans agree with this sentiment,” he added. The Whitman-Walker Institute Steinglass serves on the board of the Whitman-Walker Institute, the policy arm of Whitman-Walker Health, a Washington, D.C., health institution that specializes in HIV/AIDS treatment and prioritizing LGBTQ messaging. The Whitman-Walker Institute has supported transgender ideology at the expense of fairness in women’s sports, privacy in women’s bathrooms, and the long-term bodily integrity of children. In July 2024, the institute’s executive director, Kellan Barker, condemned laws restricting experimental medical interventions on kids, among other legislative efforts. “There are new restrictions being proposed and enacted every day around how transgender people can move through the world, not just with regard to accessing medical care, but, for example, going to school, playing on a sports team,” Barker told NPR. He said state legislators passing such laws are “attacking kids to score political points.” In 2021, Whitman-Walker Health joined the LGBTQ activist group PFLAG in filing a legal brief defending the Model Policies for Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools, a pro-transgender policy issued under then-Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat. Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who took office the next year, rescinded the policies and issued new ones requiring boys and girls to use bathrooms aligning with their sex. During the Oct. 9 debate, WAVY-TV’s Tom Schaad asked Spanberger whether she would rescind Youngkin’s policy, and she repeatedly declined to answer. Whitman-Walker Health also filed a brief supporting Gavin Grimm, a girl who identifies as a boy who sued a Virginia school district for the right to use a boys’ restroom. The courts ruled in Grimm’s favor, but President Donald Trump has since reinterpreted federal law on these issues. Whitman-Walker Health also testified in favor of a Washington, D.C., bill giving minors control over their own health care, and Whitman-Walker specifically mentioned the bill would likely “help transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or questioning minors when they are unable to get parental consent.” Other Steinglass Activism Steinglass’s LinkedIn profile also lists him as a member of Families United for Trans Rights, which supports political candidates who identify as transgender. Steinglass also served as an executive producer for “State of Firsts,” a 2025 documentary celebrating Tim McBride, a congressman who identifies as female and goes by the name Sarah. Spanberger’s campaign did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time.

Actress/singer Bette Midler finished in third place with 17 percent.  The following is a montage of all the nominees:      WINNER (42 percent of the vote)   Kathy Griffin: Trump and “Professional Nazi” Elon Musk Stole the Election  “I don’t think he [Donald Trump] won in a free and fair election. You heard me. I’m coming out and saying it myself. I don’t care if that means I look crazy because Elon Musk – who’s this other Nazi guy running around town who owns X….He’s a professional Nazi in my humble opinion. And he’s good friends with Trump….He was giving out million-dollar checks to people if they would vote for Trump. That’s illegal. It’s unconstitutional and illegal.”— Comedian Kathy Griffin on her podcast Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin, October 15.   SECOND PLACE (41 percent of the vote)   Jason Johnson: Everybody Who Loves Democracy Is Antifa  “The idea of going after Antifa is like saying we’re going after dog lovers.

The Salt Lake Tribune is not shy about how much it hates Republicans or conservatives. Earlier this year, they put their prying eyes on Jennica Pounds -- "Data Republican" on X, telling everyone about the bar her husband owns, and more.  On October 7, Tribune political cartoonist Pat Bagley sounded like a "No Kings" cartoonist with a a WANTED poster with mug shots of the Utah congressional delegation: Sens. Mike Lee and John Curtis, as well as Reps. Blake Moore, Burgess Owens, Celeste Maloy, and Mike Kennedy. They were called "The Gutless Gang," wanted “for failure to honor their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution from the dictatorial whims of a malignant clown.” Here's the most controversial part: The Tribune website headlined this cartoon "The Hole-in-the-Head Gang." Considering President Trump -- the "malignant clown" mentioned -- was shot through the ear last year, that was NOT the right headline, as social-media spread the offense: At this point in time I have come to the conclusion that the Salt Lake Tribune has become radicalized by ANTIFA activists working there. ANTIFA employees at the Salt Lake Tribune are trying to incite their audience to kill Senator Mike Lee and other Republicans in Utah. pic.twitter.com/YGwOHRBFai — Wall Street Mav (@WallStreetMav) October 11, 2025 The Tribune recognized that this headline could be implying violence, so the headline was changed to the bland descriptor "Utah's reps" and an Editor's Note was appended: Editor’s note, Oct. 9, 7:12 p.m. -The headline on this cartoon has been updated because the original did not meet our standards for publication. We know words matter. We try to be intentional about the words we use and we regret this error. Bagley kept up the crudely violent metaphors in his latest cartoon, which is headlined (at least for now) "Midwest Chainsaw Massacre," showing Argentina's president Javier Milei lunging with his chainsaw at "U.S. Farmers" with Trump and Vance behind him with $40 billion in a wheelbarrow, and Trump saying "Hurry! We have to help....the guy with the chainsaw."

Which artificial intelligence chatbot did a better job creating an image? One prominent CEO’s response may surprise you.Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff made a shocking accusation against ChatGPT during a Technology Business Programming Network (TBPN) interview last Thursday. He said that the subscription version of ChatGPT refused to modify an image of him and the chatbot’s parent company CEO Sam Altman. So, Benioff asked X owner Elon Musk’s AI chatbot to create the image instead. Benioff said the chatbot refused the requested image because of an alleged “copyright infringement” given that both Benioff and Altman were wearing “conference necklaces” that Benioff wanted removed. He asserted that Grok, owned by free speech advocate Musk, had no problem creating the clean image of the two men that Benioff used to promote a partnership between Salesforce and OpenAI. BREAKING: @Benioff used Grok for viral image with @sama pic.twitter.com/hVQEuDZH6C — TBPN (@tbpn) October 16, 2025 The irony? In his X post, Benioff called ChatGPT—the AI he said refused to create the image for his X post—the “world’s best AI.”  [The story continues on MRCFreeSpeechAmerica.org]

The president answered with important details on Monday about the possibility of U.S. troops on the ground to "eradicate" the Hamas terror group if it continues to threaten the peace deal negotiated with Israel.President Donald Trump took questions from the press while seated next to the prime minister of Australia at the White House.'They have to be good, and if they're not good, they will be eradicated.'The president gave a fierce warning to the Hamas terror group for continuing attacks on Israelis. "They're going to behave. They're going to be nice. And if they're not, we're going to go and we're going to eradicate them if we have to. They'll be eradicated. And they know that," said Trump. “They got very rambunctious, and they did things that they shouldn't be doing," he added. "And if they keep doing it, then we're going to go in and straighten it out. And it'll happen very quickly and pretty violently, unfortunately." Rebeka Zeljko of Blaze News asked him to clarify whether that action might include the U.S. military."When you say, 'We are going to eradicate Hamas,' who is 'we'?" Zeljko asked. "Does that include American boots on the ground?""No. It won't be on the ground at all," Trump replied unequivocally."We don't need to because we have many countries, as you know, signed on to this deal. The way I view it, 59 countries ... that four months ago didn't like each other and now they're all aligned together," he added."I mean, we've had countries calling me when they saw some of the killing with Hamas, saying, 'We'd love to go in and take care of the situation ourselves,'" Trump continued. "In addition you have Israel would go in in two minutes if I asked them to go in. I could tell them, 'Go in and take care of it.' But right now we haven't said that. We're gonna give it a little chance, and hopefully there will be a little less violence, but right now, you know, they're violent people. Hamas has been very violent."He went on to point out that Hamas had lost the backing of Iran and anyone else."They have to be good, and if they're not good, they will be eradicated," he added.RELATED: Trump praises Blaze News reporting during Antifa roundtable at White House — and slaps down MSNBC, CNN The peace deal negotiated by Trump has already led to the release of the remaining hostages and the remains of hostages to Israel from the terror group. Critics of the U.S. backing Israel in the conflict have strenuously objected to the possibility of U.S. military troops being sent to help the U.S. ally in the fight against Hamas. Like Blaze News?
