(Worthy Insights) – A new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll shows that most Americans support President Trump’s agenda to “Make America Great Again,” which includes beefing up the southern and northern borders and deporting criminal illegal aliens, unleashing DOGE on the corrupt federal bureaucracy, ending all toxic forms of DEI initiatives in the federal government, military, and corporate America, and ensuring the nation is energy independent. Meanwhile, approval for the Democratic Party has collapsed to record lows as radical leftist lawmakers double and triple down on woke policies.

The new poll captures the nation’s vibe during Trump’s first month in office, with 52% of respondents approving the president’s MAGA agenda, such as coming in like a wrecking ball into the DC Swamp, leveraging DOGE to slash government spending, ending globalist open-border policies, and prioritizing the restoration of American values. Most Americans overwhelmingly supported this approach after four years of globalist disaster under the Biden-Harris regime.

“The majority of voters support Trump’s policies on the border, focus on government expenditures, gender, DEI, and offshore drilling but have concerns on his foreign policies involving tariffs, the Israel-Hamas war, and the war in Ukraine,” the report featuring the poll data stated.

(Worthy Insights) – Planned Parenthood, the nation’s leading abortion provider, is grappling with a growing crisis, according to a recent bombshell article by The New York Times. The report highlights botched abortions, failed procedures, and undertrained staff as the organization struggles both financially and in terms of its operations.

As Planned Parenthood clinics across the U.S. close their doors, the organization faces an increasing number of lawsuits, and many are questioning the future of the embattled abortion provider. The revelations in the Times article paint a bleak picture of an organization already under fire from pro-life groups for years.

One of the most harrowing stories included in the report involves a woman from Albany, New York, who filed a malpractice lawsuit after experiencing complications from an abortion procedure. After the procedure, the woman returned to the clinic with severe pain but was told by staff that nothing was wrong and sent home. Twelve weeks later, she delivered a baby that was alive but ultimately died shortly after birth. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – Senior Israeli officials have approached Egypt regarding serious violations of peace agreement terms following mounting evidence of Egyptian military buildup in Sinai that exceeds previously agreed limits, Israel Hayom has learned. Sources familiar with the matter said Egyptian officials proposed US mediation to reduce growing tensions between the nations. The Israeli diplomatic messages were conveyed amid increasingly concerning social media posts showing the Egyptian army allegedly conducting exercises preparing for a potential “invasion” of Israel through Sinai.

In recent discussions between the sides, Egyptian officials expressed their own concerns, stating that “entities with foreign interests aiming to destabilize relations between the countries are responsible for distributing the videos, some edited and some fabricated.” Egypt additionally proposed resolving their Sinai violations through accelerated bilateral dialogue to bridge gaps, suggesting US mediation if direct talks prove unsuccessful.

(Worthy Insights) – Israeli entrepreneur and investor Shmulik Bezalel has traveled the world and donated funds for research to find a treatment for his son Itay who has low-functioning autism spectrum disorder. Itay is one of 254 million children and adults worldwide struggling with neuropsychiatric disorders without a suitable treatment.

Recognizing the limited therapeutic options for neuropsychiatric disorders, Bezalel teamed up with serial entrepreneur Boaz Goldman and neuroscientist Dr. Nisim Perets, and in 2021 founded an Israeli biotech startup with the vision to generate a simulation of the brain and test the efficacy of drugs.

That startup, Itay & Beyond — named after Bezalel’s child Itay — is now developing a drug discovery and testing platform for psychiatric and neurological disorders such as autism, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – The Associated Press drew widespread criticism, including from members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, for stating that Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 9 months, “died in captivity.”

“Hamas murdered these hostages. They didn’t just ‘die in captivity,’ as if by natural causes,” wrote Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). “Why does AP want to sugar coat this?”

“The terrorists of Hamas murder an infant and a child, as well as a mother, in cold blood and with their bare hands,” stated Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.). “The AP chooses to whitewash the baby killers, calling them ‘militants’ rather than terrorists and claiming the children ‘died’—rather than were murdered—in captivity. Disgraceful.” [ Source (Read More…) ]

(Worthy Insights) – A group of American Christian leaders are publicly reaffirming the Jewish people’s right to the biblical heartland of Israel, ahead of a key U.S. decision on Israeli sovereignty over the territory.

The move comes weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump is slated to announce whether or not he supports the Israeli annexation of Judea and Samaria—a goal backed by many evangelicals including some administration officials—amid international plans to rebuild post-war Gaza.

The declaration will be made public on Tuesday at the annual National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) Convention in Dallas, an international association of evangelical communicators, and is expected to be signed by thousands of Christian pastors and religious leaders from across the U.S. before being presented to the American president.

(Worthy Insights) – Larry Sanger, Wikipedia co-founder, philosopher, and writer, was a devout atheist at one point in his life — but that all changed as his own philosophical writings started to challenge his belief system.

“I wrote a series of essays that sort of dismantled some of the reasons that I had for disbelief,” Sanger tells Allie Beth Stuckey of “Relatable.” “My take on it was, what God is essentially is the creator of the universe and a spirit. And he created the universe essentially with a thought, but we have no experience of thoughts bringing things into existence directly.”

“I didn’t conclude that the universe is therefore a simulation, which was Elon Musk’s conclusion,” he continues, adding, “I think that is merely evidence that it’s possible that a creator exists.” [ Source (Read More…) ]
