Everything Everywhere Daily - The Siege of Baghdad

For one, it was yet another in an incredible string of conquests.
For the other, it resulted in its downfall and the destruction of one of the world’s greatest centers of knowledge and learning.
For the people who suffered through it, it was one of the worst days in world history.

NBN Book of the Day - Elizabeth Cobbs, “Fearless Women: Feminist Patriots from Abigail Adams to Beyoncé” (Harvard UP, 2023)
In her latest book, Fearless Women: Feminist Patriots from Abigail Adams to Beyoncé (Harvard University Press, 2023), New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Cobbs shows us that the quest for women’s rights is deeply entwined with the founding story of the United States.
When America became a nation, a woman had no legal existence beyond her husband. If he abused her, she couldn’t leave without abandoning her children. Abigail Adams tried to change this, reminding her husband John to “remember the ladies” when he wrote the Constitution. He simply laughed—and women have been fighting for their rights ever since.
Fearless Women tells the story of women who dared to take destiny into their own hands. They were feminists and antifeminists, activists and homemakers, victims of abuse and pathbreaking professionals. Inspired by the nation’s ideals and fueled by an unshakeable sense of right and wrong, they wouldn’t take no for an answer. In time, they carried the country with them.
The first right they won was the right to learn. Later, impassioned teachers like Angelina Grimké and Susan B. Anthony campaigned for the right to speak in public, lobby the government, and own property. Some were passionate abolitionists. Others fought just to protect their own children.
Many of these women devoted their lives to the cause—some are famous—but most pressed their demands far from the spotlight, insisting on their right to vote, sit on a jury, control the timing of their pregnancies, enjoy equal partnerships, or earn a living. At every step, they faced fierce opposition. Elizabeth Cobbs gives voice to fearless women on both sides of the aisle, most of whom considered themselves patriots. Rich and poor, from all backgrounds and regions, they show that the women’s movement has never been an exclusive club.

What A Day - Florida, Man
Florida’s 2023 legislative session begins today. Lawmakers in the Republican-controlled state legislature are expected to push Governor Ron DeSantis’s conservative agenda, ahead of his widely-expected 2024 presidential bid.
Police in Atlanta, Georgia charged 23 people with domestic terrorism this week for allegedly attacking police during a protest against “Cop City” — a proposed $90 million police training center in a wooded area near a predominantly Black neighborhood.
And in headlines: Israeli fighter pilots have joined protests over a proposed overhaul to that country’s judicial system, Russian military forces may be close to capturing the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, and Oklahomans will vote on whether to legalize recreational marijuana.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Lawyer Ian Prior and Former Trump Comms Staffer Roma Daravi on Combatting Woke Culture and ‘School-to-Ccalpel Pipeline’
On today's edition of "The Daily Signal Podcast," a former White House communications staffer said the Department of Energy report lending credence to the theory that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab represents an "I-told-you-so to the nth degree" after the legacy media and Big Tech cracked down on then President Donald Trump and others for suggesting it.
"Much of what we are seeing in the news today, especially coming from [President] Joe Biden's agencies, has been a string of lies, so when you see a headline that reads, 'The Department of Energy has confirmed that it does in fact suspect the Wuhan virus came from the Wuhan lab in China,' you almost have to pause for a second and make sure you're not reading a Babylon Bee article," Roma Daravi, former White House deputy director of strategic communications under Trump and founder and CEO of Daravi Strategies, tells The Daily Signal. Daravi joins the show to explain more.
Also on today's show, Ian Prior explains how America First Legal is fighting the transgender movement.
