Sitting down for a meal at Applebee's can be a good experience, but there are some shady things about its menu that might make you think twice about dining in.

Queen’s legendary catalog has been acquired by Sony Music for £1 billion (around $1.27 billion). Sony has also acquired name and likeness rights, but Broadway rights and “other brand monetization” are not part of the deal – including revenue for live performances by founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor, who still tour with singer Adam Lambert. Queen’s catalog includes “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites The Dust,” “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” The total catalog has retained its global popularity and has proven enormously lucrative. Hugely popular in the ’70s and ’80s, the band lost frontman Freddie Mercury in ’91 due to AIDS. The post Queen Catalog Sold appeared first on RockinTown.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hosted the world’s most powerful leaders in Italy last week, and reportedly made a few foes over a flap involving the removal of abortion language from the G7’s final declaration of priorities. But here in the United States, she’s winning praise from pro-life Americans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, founder of Advancing American Freedom. “When radical pro-abortion Biden administration officials demanded that the words ‘abortion’ and ‘reproductive rights’ be included in the G7’s official statement, you stood strong for life. By doing so, you stood not just for pro-life Italians, but for every pro-life citizen of the G7 countries,” Pence wrote in a letter to Meloni. Pence’s June 19 letter, shared exclusively with The Daily Signal, expresses his “gratitude and admiration for your uncompromising stand for life.” (See the full letter below.) The reported G7 dispute, which Meloni has downplayed, stemmed from language in last year’s G7 declaration from Hiroshima, Japan: We reaffirm our full commitment to achieving comprehensive [sexual and reproductive health and rights] for all, including by addressing access to safe and legal abortion and post-abortion care. This year’s G7 declaration was altered to remove any reference to abortion: We reiterate our commitments in the Hiroshima leaders’ communique to universal access to adequate, affordable, and quality health services for women, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. The conservative and Catholic Meloni reportedly received pushback from President Joe Biden for removing the abortion language, according to the BBC. Biden, also a Catholic, has made abortion a centerpiece of his reelection campaign despite his church’s strong opposition.

French President Emmanuel Macron, whose party faces a critical election in the coming weeks, took a swipe at Italy when asked about the G7 declaration. “You don’t have the same sensibilities in your country,” Macron said. “France has a vision of equality between women and men, but it’s not a vision shared by all the political spectrum.” Italy legalized abortion in 1978. Meloni’s mother almost aborted her, but made a last-minute decision to spare her life, the prime minister wrote in her autobiography.

Since leaving office, he’s remained a strong advocate for the pro-life cause, encouraging Republican politicians to stand firm and contrast their views with the position of Democrats. His letter takes a swipe at those “supposedly conservative politicians” who fail to do so. Read the full letter below.
