AI SUICIDE COACHING SHOCKS PARENTS
A new alliance of pro-family organizations has formed to combat the growing threats artificial intelligence poses to children, demanding strong safeguards against Big Tech’s profit-driven push into harmful content and unchecked experimentation.The Alliance for a Better Future, chaired by Dr. Brad Littlejohn of American Compass, brings together nine leading groups including the Family Policy Alliance, National Center on Sexual Exploitation, Institute for Family Studies, The Heritage Foundation, and American Principles Project.
The coalition plans to spend at least eight figures this year advocating for national and state laws that protect minors from AI abuses such as explicit material, grooming chatbots, and suicide-coaching algorithms. The group is responding to aggressive lobbying by Big Tech and venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz, which poured $100 million into a Super PAC aimed at blocking child safety regulations in states like Texas and New York.

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride (1775)April 18, 2026
American patriot Paul Revere was a member of the Sons of Liberty and a participant in the Boston Tea Party, but he is chiefly remembered for his late-night horseback ride to warn the Massachusetts colonists that British soldiers were setting forth on the mission that, as it turned out, began the American Revolution. Two others also rode out with the news, but it is Revere who is celebrated as the midnight rider, despite having been captured before reaching his final destination. Why is this?

James McCune Smith (1813)April 18, 2026
Smith was the first African American to obtain a medical degree and operate a pharmacy in the US. Denied admission to American colleges due to racial discrimination, he studied in Scotland, obtaining a series of degrees. After returning to New York, he became the first professionally trained black physician in the country. He wrote forcefully against common misconceptions and false notions about race, science, and medicine and once used statistics to refute what argument about slaves?

Zimbabwe Independence DayApril 18, 2026
Like much of Africa, the area that is now Zimbabwe was long controlled by Europeans. In 1922, the 34,000 European settlers chose to become a self-governing British colony, Southern Rhodesia. In 1923, Southern Rhodesia was annexed by the British Crown. A fight for independence took place in the 1970s. An independent constitution was written for Zimbabwe in London in 1979, and independence followed on April 18, 1980. Independence Day is celebrated in every city and district of the nation with political rallies, parades, traditional dances, singing, and fireworks.

The Percy-Neville FeudApril 18, 2026
The Percy-Neville Feud was a string of skirmishes between two prominent northern English families and their followers that helped provoke the Wars of the Roses—a series of dynastic civil wars between supporters of the Houses of Lancaster and York in the 15th century. Six months after the Nevilles allied themselves with Richard, Duke of York—rival of the Lancastrian King Henry VI—the Percys met the Nevilles and the Duke in the first battle at St. Albans. What was the original reason for the feud?
