The Best One Yet - 🏎️ “200 mph on the Vegas Strip” — Formula1’s American youth. TikTok’s Mean Girls. Oil’s piggy bank party.

Maybe the dirtiest Facebook story of the year: Zuck borrowed a strategy from Mean Girls to burn TikTok. Formula 1 racing pulled a Ricky Bobby and now has a younger audience than the NFL or NBA… and it’s thanks to Netflix. And the President just made the biggest withdrawal ever of our nation’s oil piggy bank — but is it a firehose or a squirt gun? $FB $LSXMB Got a SnackFact?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Brachistochrone Problem

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


In 1696, the mathematician Johann Bernoulli posited a very simple question. Assuming no friction, what was the fastest shape for an object to slide down to go from point A to point B?


That simple question stumped some of the world’s greatest mathematicians.


The answer to that question isn’t what you think it might be, and it has some very interesting implications. 


Learn more about the Brachistochrone problem, and what exactly a Brachistochrone is, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Getting Hammered - How Does It Feel?

…To know that one of the nation’s largest teachers’ unions was directly responsible for keeping schools closed for months? To not be invited to the sex parties that Rep. Madison Cawthorn claims are rampant in the nation’s capital? Or to know that the New York Times and the Washington Post are just now talking about the Hunter Biden laptop story? 

As Mary Katharine often says, it’s not good! It’s not good, Vic!

NBN Book of the Day - Nu-Anh Tran, “Disunion: Anticommunist Nationalism and the Making of the Republic of Vietnam” (U Hawaii Press, 2022)

In popular understandings of the modern history of Vietnam we are familiar with Ho Chi Minh’s anti-imperialism, but we know much less about the anticommunist nationalism of South Vietnam – officially the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). The RVN tends to be viewed as a creation of the French and later a “puppet” of the Americans. But as Nu-Anh Tran shows in her book, Disunion: Anticommunist Nationalism and the Making of the Republic of Vietnam (U Hawaii Press, 2022), the RVN was heir to a revolutionary tradition that developed out of the anti-French resistance, that was quite distinct from the communist one to the north. Although the many different political and religious factions in the south shared a fierce anticommunism, the RVN was plagued by disunity. And ironically, despite the democratic ideals that these groups claimed to advocate, the RVN was subject to authoritarian rule for most of its brief existence.

The Daily Signal - March for Life Marches On in Hopes of a Post-Roe World

The Supreme Court is considering the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which has the potential to severely limit or eliminate access to abortion.

Each year since 1974, the March for Life has made its way peacefully through the nation’s capital, its hosts of participants calling for an end to abortion on demand, which the high court ushered in with its 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade.

Now that the time may be at hand, the event is coming to various states, where the fight for life will go on.

Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life, recently visited Connecticut for that state's first march. She says life is winning, even in states as blue as Connecticut.

"We got over 3,000 people out for the first march, which is a good number for a state march, and the enthusiasm was palpable," Mancini says. "Churches were very active. ... There were a lot of periphery events, and I'm hoping and praying that we started just a new spark with the grassroots in Connecticut for life."

Mancini joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the pro-life movement's next step, and what a post-Roe world might look like.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden says he has a plan to cut gas prices by releasing a million barrels of reserve oil per day.
  • Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., joins Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts and Heritage Action for America Executive Director Jessica Anderson for a Heritage Foundation event titled “Rescuing America.”
  • Starting April 11, Americans will have three choices when marking their gender on their passports: male, female, and X.
