OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

Because of the device’s design (it used a highly enriched uranium primary), large yield, and the low height of the burst, “Canopus” produced a massive amount of highly-radioactive fallout, contaminating nearby atolls and rendering Fangataufa off limits to human beings for six years.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Can I just point out it is totally legal for countries to have their own uranium enrichment capacity and that’s why it’s b.s. when the nuclear industry says civilian nuclear energy is distinct from atomic weaponry.

There's a whole set of stereotypical masculine traits, like having courage, adhering to core moral principles and decency towards others, being loyal to and protective of your friends and family, especially your spouse and children, that you rarely hear on Fox because it would so indict Trump.

So, not to harsh anyone’s mellow, but a nuclear war between India and Pakistan would (along with killing some 20 million civilians immediately in the area) unleash sudden and massive global cooling, crop failures, and famines all over the world.

If the attack is attributed to or claimed by any Pakistan-based group, decent odds India will resort to the use of military force—including across the Line of Control and international boundary.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
