  • World reacts to insane Donald Trump statement on Joe Biden

    05/06/2023 4:56:18 PM PDT · by algore · 54 replies
    Donald Trump faces massive court action in the United States. He faces 34 felonies in Manhattan related to an alleged hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. A civil trial is currently underway revolving around allegations he raped author E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in 1996. And on Friday, the Justice Department announced a probe into his relationship with the Suadi Arabian government-backed LIV Golf. Trump denies all allegations. But Trump is passing the time with a golf trip to Scotland and Ireland to visit his properties. It’s in Ireland where, during a round of golf,...

    California’s cannabis industry is in a free-fall, with some municipalities in the northern part of the state making plans for significantly reduced tax revenues as a result of a collapse in wholesale prices. Once selling for more than $4,000 per pound, bulk buyers are now shopping in the $300 to $500 range for fresh harvests, according to experts, and some growers reported clearing out their crops for less than $200 per pound for fear of being stuck with product. The price represents a sharp drop from recent years, according to industry insiders. “It’s been a steady decline since we got...

    Scott Winkler, who lives in the area, has been a loyal customer of the Rite Aid store for three years. He recently found out the pharmacy was closing, leaving him and other residents in the neighborhood without easy access to essential medications. "Somebody has to stand up for what's right, and that is a pharmacy that is an intricate part of this area," Winkler said. "Now it's gone, and the only thing we have left is Family Dollar — and hopefully they won't close." With the pharmacy closing, Winkler will no longer be able to walk over to get his...

    The ceremony will take place in New York City, where players such as Ted Williams and Bob Feller undoubtedly will be remembered. Williams flew 37 combat missions in World War II and Korea, and Feller missed four seasons to serve in the Army, enlisting after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. The USS Cooperstown joins the active fleet of Freedom-variant littoral combat ships. The Department of Defense describes LCS ships as "fast, optimally-manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments." Johnny Bench and Joe Torre represented their fellow Hall of Fame members at the ceremony.

    ALLEN (CBSNewsTexas.com) — An active police scene is unraveling at the Allen Premium Outlets Saturday afternoon after reports of an active shooter. Video posted to social media captured the sound of gunfire at the open-air mall, and there are rumors circulating there are multiple victims. The City of Allen has since tweeted that an investigation is underway and that people should avoid the area. A man inside the outlet mall told CBS News Texas that shoppers inside the Famous Footwear store are in distress and crying. ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) personnel are now responding to the incident and...

    What a dystopian nightmare watching “America’s Doctor” try to continue his Covid victory tour. It is both shocking and unsurprising that he would do this despite leaving a generation of children with lower IQ scores, a US life expectancy which dropped three years in the span of two, hundreds of thousands of deaths from the vaccines amongst working-age Americans (threatening the life insurance industry), millions of vaccine injured, skyrocketing disability rates, an explosion of cancers, and suddenly plummeting birth rates. So I went after him. Again. Maybe he will get the memo this time, particularly in light of the frosty...

    Former President Donald Trump says President Joe Biden has "greatly insulted" the U.K. people by skipping King Charles III's coronation Saturday. "Good Luck and Best Wishes to the wonderful new King and Queen of The United Kingdom," Trump posted to Truth Social. "You are two very Special People. May your Reign be a Long and Glorious One. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!!" But the praise was not effusive for Trump's political rival. "Joe Biden should have been at the Coronation of King Charles III," Trump wrote in another Truth Social post. "Is that really so much to ask? The people of...

    Just how bad are things for Fox News? On Thursday, Megyn Kelly shared the shocking data behind the network’s primetime collapse, and it shows that the fall is much steeper than many suspected it would be. ... At the heart of the matter is the recent firing of Tucker Carlson, once the highest-rated host on cable news. He was unceremoniously dumped for as-yet unconfirmed reasons ... They’ve lost almost two-thirds of the audience that helps pay their bills. They’re left with about a one-third of their audience. I mean, that’s stunning, and I looked up and down the board at...

    A Black man has been charged with fatally shooting two White strangers in the back of the head in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as part of what authorities are calling a racially motivated hate crime. Carlton Gilford allegedly shot and killed two men to whom he did not have any connection on April 18, according to the Tulsa Police Department. Police said Gifford, who according to jail records is homeless, went inside the Rudisill Library around 9:40 a.m., walked up behind a man sitting at a desk, and shot him in the back of the head.

    A recent phase three study conducted by Eli Lilly examined the safety and efficacy of the study drug donanemab in participants with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly announced in a press release on May 3, 2023, that a clinical trial of the experimental Alzheimer's drug, donanemab, showed it could significantly slow the progress of cognitive decline, allowing patients increased independence. The drugmaker's announcement revealed that the drug succeeded in halting early AD progression in nearly half of the participants, slowing cognitive decline rates by 35% compared to control participants. Donanemab is an antibody that targets protein...

It marked the first known time that Ukraine has been able to intercept one of Moscow’s most modern missiles — and the first time Ukraine is known to have used the Patriot defense systems.

    Russia’s top investigative agency on Saturday said the suspect in a car bombing that injured a prominent pro-Kremlin novelist and killed his driver has admitted acting at the behest of Ukraine’s special services. The blast that hit the car of Zakhar Prilepin, a well-known nationalist writer and an ardent supporter of Russia’s war in Ukraine, was the third explosion involving prominent pro-Kremlin figures since the start of the conflict. It took place in the region of Nizhny Novgorod, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of Moscow. Russia’s Investigative Committee said the suspect was a Ukrainian native and had admitted under...

    The French psychiatrist Jacques-Joseph Moreau published a book called Hashish and Mental Illness in 1845, the same year that Scientific American brought out its first issue. In it, he explored his own experiences with the drug cannabis at the Paris-based Club des Hachichins—some of which took place alongside the likes of Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac and Charles Baudelaire. Two years earlier Moreau described the “undescribable delights” of a “marvelous substance.” But in his 1845 book, he noted in great clinical detail the similarities to psychosis when ingesting high doses. Nearly two centuries later the possible link between cannabis use...

    Save Share Bank runs are always extraordinary. But the first bank run of the social media age has been something else. The speed with which Silicon Valley Bank collapsed on Friday night under the staggering weight of $US42 billion ($63 billion) of withdrawals, and then had its depositors bailed out on Sunday night in similarly short order, is in part due to the power of social media, and the speed with which information travels across it.
