Abortion is back in the news (as if it ever left). The Supreme Court of Arizona ruled Wednesday that the state’s November ballot measure will include the term “unborn human beings” to describe the person abortion kills. The Wednesday decision overturned a Maricopa County Superior Court decision that had ruled this kind of honesty was somehow biased.The decision has infuriated pro-abortion activists, who wanted the ballot to call babies “fetuses.” They say that’s impartial, because obscuring reality is a favorite — and essential — Democratic tactic for convincing Americans to support abortion any time after the first trimester.It’s tempting to believe this tactic, backed by Arizona’s Republican legislature, might be the future of fighting radically pro-abortion ballot initiatives that have successfully passed even in red states while energizing Democratic voter turnout.There are a couple of problems with this idea, however. First, you need a hard-core legislature, secretary of state, attorney general, etc., willing to push that fight. Then, you need a court willing to call out Democratic misinformation. That’s a hard combo in a lot of states, including those run by Republicans.Montana’s Republican attorney general, for example, fought pro-abortion groups whose proposed ballot language was vague, essentially enshrining in the state constitution that abortion providers can decide when an unborn baby is viable and what constitutes a health risk to the mother. In April, the court rejected his rewrite.Abortion is already legal in the state up to the time of viability, and on Wednesday, that same court overturned a Montana law that required parental assent for children to obtain abortions, citing privacy concerns the U.S. Supreme Court had struck down in relation to abortion in its Dobbs decision. You see: Not all legislators, officials, or courts are up to the task.Neither are all voters. In New York, it’s the Democrats who are currently fighting to put the word “abortion” and the phrase “LGBTQ” on the ballot, arguing that the state election commissioners’ Orwellian use of "gender expression" and "reproductive healthcare and autonomy” in the state’s Equal Rights Amendment didn’t let voters know what’s at stake.“Compare this with what happened post-Dobbs in California, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio in 2022 and 2023,” the pro-abortion editorial board of the New York Daily News wrote Thursday.In each state, explicit abortion protections were approved by the public to be added to the state constitution with the word "abortion" or explicit abortion restrictions or limitations (again, with the word "abortion") were rejected by the public. In every instance, the protections and the bans, the word "abortion" was used. And in every case, the pro-choice position prevailed, with constitutional protections approved in California, Michigan, and Ohio and constitutional bans rejected in Kansas and Kentucky.It’s hard to see where it’s all going to shake out, but it’s becoming increasingly clear as Democrats battle to take advantage of Americans’ innate libertarian leanings with “pro-choice” ballot measures that the next front will be the war of words.Blaze News: Arizona permitted to call potential victims of abortion initiative 'unborn human babies' in voter pamphletBlaze News: Harris seized evidence of abortionists' lucrative butchery of babies.

Episode 2 of “The Coverup” – Blaze Media’s new investigative series that exposes the lies of the pandemic industrial complex – dropped last week on BlazeTV. The face of the series, Matt Kibbe, recently met with Bryce Nickels, genetics professor at Rutgers University, on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces, to reflect on some of the things laid out in episode 1 as well as discuss all the disturbing findings the series explores in episode 2. Episode 1 centered around Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor of medicine at Stanford University, one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration and the most censored doctor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Titled “Dissident,” the first episode was inspired partly by Pearl Jam’s 1993 song “Dissident” but mostly by “Jay's willingness to swim against the grain very early on,” says Kibbe, who admires the doctor’s perseverance despite the “hysterical attempts to stifle” him and others like him who were brave enough to speak the truth even though it landed them in hot water. - YouTube www.youtube.com Kibbe also notes that in episode 1, viewers benefit from Bhattacharya’s unique ability to “[translate] very complex ideas into something that's consumable to a lay audience.” In episode 2 – “Legislator: How Rand Paul Exposed Dr. Fauci's Lies” – which explores how deep the roots of the pandemic industrial complex go, Kibbe and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the only senator who is still relentlessly pursuing the truth about COVID, ask the following questions: Is Fauci a made man? Who is protecting him? Will he ever suffer any consequences? Why is the government funding dangerous gain-of-function research? “What we're seeing when it comes to the COVID cover-up is a bunch of interested parties whose financing and careers and reputations, and really their lifeblood, is based on the continuance of this sort of biosecurity, gain-of-function research paradigm,” Kibbe tells Nickels. The truth is, Fauci “may be personally responsible for the deaths of millions of people through this gain-of-function research that he has so full-throatedly defended throughout his entire career.” That, among other COVID mysteries, is precisely what Kibbe intends to figure out in “The Coverup.” - YouTube www.youtube.com If you haven’t already, check out episode 1 (available for free on YouTube) before watching episode 2 on BlazeTV.

Imagine being in the same room as Google's high-ranking Android execs discussing Apple's WWDC announcements. Maybe they were following the live stream online to see what Apple Intelligence is all about and how it threatens Gemini. I bet Googlers were thrilled to see and hear that Apple Intelligence would not match the abilities of Gemini and ChatGPT right away. Just as they must have been envious of some of the vision laid out for Apple Intelligence on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Whatever the case, I'm sure Google was incredibly happy to hear that Apple's massive number of iPhones already out in the wild wouldn't be compatible with Apple Intelligence. I'm speculating here, sure. But imagine how dangerous the iPhone would have been in a scenario where iOS 18 could bring Apple Intelligence to all the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models that are in use right now. It would have given Apple a massive advantage over every adversary, especially Google, even though it is behind Google in AI development. That's not what happened. You need the iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max to try Apple Intelligence right now via the iOS 18.1 beta, or you'll need to buy an iPhone 16 next month to get access to Apple Intelligence. This chain of events suddenly gives the Pixel a fighting chance to make an impression in the AI smartphone era. That's why I think the Pixel 9 is Google's big Hail Mary play for Gemini against Apple's emerging Apple Intelligence iPhones. Continue reading...
