So far if they do show it they only show the violent parts and completely ignore the non-violent majority.

Can you get ADHD meds? These do not solve problems, but can make it easier to work around them.

The problem is that nobody pushes things back to the left. In the US the Right kept making changes when they got control and when the libs had their shot they kinda shrugged about giving the rich more money and power. They made a big deal out of lgbtq rights or pot legalization, but didn’t fix the wealth and power imbalance. Repeat, again and again and now there are pretty much no liberals, they gave up all their power, and lgbtq rights and all that are on the chopping block.

And one that “pins” it on a Democrat. Yet more projection.

Turn off automatic update.

You can restart without updating, it’s literally a menu option.

Non-problem solved.

Republicans are the biggest scared snowflakes of them all. They throw gasoline on embers and blame the embers for becoming a fire.

Satire and on point.

Walking is alien to the vast majority of suburbanites and rural people. Walking ~6 miles round trip is a little over 2 hours at a modest pace.

Arguing over the technicality of a word vs his actions. Children do this.

Not sure what your edit is regarding, but LEOs in instances like this are just going to shoot and blame the victims that get hit. “Shouldn’t have been there anyway” or something, even if they’re literally just innocent bystanders or the bullet went through an house and killed them in bed.

“Bad things”

Like public transportation? Which is what we’re discussing. Not sewage treatment plants.

And Apollo.

 

I’d like to know what anyone is using that they really think is helping them that isn’t taking traditional prescription medication for ADHD. Please make sure whatever it is can be found “over the counter” or readily available commercially. Please keep it to simple items that are easily found separately - i.e. a B vitamin of B6, 12 and vitamin C along with Magnesium glycinate or something. If you notice it helping in a specific area, please say what it is.

I have to throw in a couple caveats, just to make sure we can get a decent picture of what is actually helping, so…

  • Please nothing illicit or illegal.

  • Please no blends or other proprietary herbal combinations. If a blend helps you, great…but we don’t know what is in the blend that is helping, and someone may not have access to that product where they live.

  • Please be specific, like making sure to differentiate between magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate.

Title says it all. I just watched Blue Origin land a bunch of rich space tourists and it’s being called a successful “mission”. IMO trying to massage egos of the vendor and participants as having something greater than an exclusive joyride with no greater purpose than to have personal bragging rights.

 

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

 

Duffy held a press conference Monday afternoon, after the FAA imposed the latest of several recent ground delays at EWR. The FAA said they had been "slowing arrivals and departures" there "due to runway construction at Newark and staffing and technology issues at Philadelphia TRACON, which guides aircraft in and out of the airport."

Duffy noted that it was the Biden administration that moved the TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities) from New York to Philadelphia, and said he was calling for an Office of the Inspector General investigation into this and other decisions.

However:

WASHINGTON, March 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it will relocate control of the Newark, New Jersey, airspace area to Philadelphia to address staffing issues and congested traffic in the New York City area. The announcement comes ahead of what could be a record summer travel season. Airlines this week forecast record travel this spring.

The move happened under the Trump administration. Either they were too inept to stop it or chose to let it happen in order to blame the Biden admin. That said, EWR is a mess even on a good day, so short staffing and runway construction would have been nasty to begin with.

 

In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.

 

Donald Trump’s outlandish claim that he’d struck 200 trade deals was a complete fiction, according to members of his own Cabinet.

 

U.S. stocks ended sharply lower on Wednesday as Nvidia warned about steep charges from new U.S. curbs on its chip exports to China and as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said U.S. economic growth appears to be slowing. Powell, in remarks for the Economic Club of Chicago, said larger-than-expected tariffs likely mean higher inflation and slower growth. But he noted that the U.S. economy is still in a solid position, and that the Fed is waiting for greater clarity before considering policy changes. Stocks added to declines from earlier in the day after Powell's comments, with Nvidia (NVDA.O) , opens new tab and other chipmaker stocks among the biggest decliners. "Powell is confirming what investors have been worried about, and that is the likelihood of slowing economic growth and more stubborn inflation as a result of the tariffs," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research.

 

Young volunteers who respond to natural disasters and help with community projects across the U.S. have been discharged as a result of the Trump administration ‘s campaign to shrink government workforce and services. AmeriCorps’ National Civilian Community Corps informed volunteers Tuesday that they would exit the program early “due to programmatic circumstances beyond your control,” according to an email obtained by The Associated Press. More than 2,000 people ages 18 to 26 serve for nearly a year, according to the program’s website, and get assigned to projects with nonprofits and community organizations or the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It celebrated its 30th year last year. The volunteers are especially visible after natural disasters, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Helene last year. The organization said on social media last month that teams have served 8 million service hours on nearly 3,400 disaster projects since 1999.

 

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS’ Direct File program, an electronic system for filing tax returns directly to the agency for free, according to two people familiar with the decision.

The program developed during Joe Biden’s presidency was credited by users with making tax filing easy, fast and economical. But Republican lawmakers and commercial tax preparation companies complained it was a waste of taxpayer money because free filing programs already exist, although they are hard to use.

The program had been in limbo since the start of the Trump administration as Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have slashed their way through the federal government. Musk posted in February on his social media site, X, that he had “deleted” 18F, a government agency that worked on technology projects such as Direct File.

 

The student accused of injuring four in a shooting at a Dallas high school was let into the building through an unsecured door and then walked down a hallway toward a group of students, opening fire on them and then appearing to take a point-blank shot at one, according to an arrest warrant released Wednesday.

The 17-year-old suspect was being held in Dallas County jail on Wednesday on a charge of aggravated assault mass shooting. He was taken into custody several hours after the shooting, which happened just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday at Wilmer-Hutchins High School.

...

At the same school last April, one student shot another in the leg.

 

NEW YORK (AP) — The nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice says staff from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency contacted them to assign a team to the organization and told them they planned to similarly install teams with all nonprofits receiving funds appropriated by Congress.

Nick Turner, president of the New York-based criminal justice nonprofit, said Wednesday the nonprofit’s attorneys asked the DOGE staffers what legal basis they had to investigate a nonprofit and informed the staffers that the U.S. Department of Justice recently terminated grants to Vera. The DOGE staffers then withdrew their request to assign a team, according to a transcript of the call provided by Vera.

The White House and Justice Department did not immediately return requests for comment.

Vera, which has an annual budget of around $45 million that mostly comes from private funders, advocates for reducing the number of people imprisoned in the U.S. They consult with law enforcement and public agencies to design alternative programs to respond to mental health crises or traffic violations, and also support access to lawyers for all immigrants facing deportation.
