The class, titled, “Individual Differences in Patient/Client Populations,” is offered through OSU’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

In the documentary What Killed Michael Brown?, Shelby Steele coins the term “poetic truth” in order to describe the persistence of the myth that Michael Brown was “executed” by Darren Wilson. Steele calls poetic truth, “a distortion of the actual truth that we use to sue for leverage and power in the world. It is a partisan version of reality, a storyline that we put forward to build our case.” Poetic truth “thri[ves] more by coercion than reason,” accusing all who dispute it of complicity with the ineradicably racist system that governs and has always governed the country. That Darren...

The last time anybody cared about White House interns was when one of them almost brought down the president by going down on the president.Oh wait, there was also this guy a couple of years ago:Yeah, no.....Say what you want about Generation X, but at least when we were young, we understood that we didn’t matter. Nobody cared what we thought about anything, because we didn’t know anything. We were stupid, ignorant children, and we knew it....But today’s kids have been raised to believe they’re winners. Stars. They’ve been on camera their whole lives. So when a few of them...

A group of San Francisco police officers has been accused of "racial bias" in connection with the August 2022 arrest of a mentally ill man who pulled out a realistic prop gun and fired off multiple blanks, resulting in a 53-minute standoff that ended without anyone being hurt. Bodycam shows police repeatedly shouted at Corvera to drop the weapon and warned passersby to stay back. "Drop that gun on the floor or you will be shot," one officer shouts. "Put it on the floor!" Corvera fired blanks over the course of the standoff, and at least 17 officers responded to...

A Florida man whose entire family fell sick when his neighbor allegedly injected opioids underneath his apartment door was stunned to learn the Chinese national has been deported to his homeland without facing charges. Expecting to see his nemesis pop up in a Zoom window for a court hearing Tuesday, Umar Abdullah said lawyers instead told him Xuming Li was back in his native country. “I was shocked,” Abdullah said. “This was a very serious crime. For there to be no punishment here is surprising. I was never told about any of this, I never expected it.” Li was arrested...

Residents of San Francisco are apparently having to learn the “Poopie Dance” to avoid stepping in something revolting as they walk on city streets. Neighbors are having to find a clean path as they travel along the street as those in the increasing homeless population have been using the sidewalks as toilets, the Daily Mail reported Thursday. “As you walk around here, it’s kind of like you have to do a Poopie Dance, always avoiding stepping in s**t,” architect Rick Garcia told the outlet during an interview in Union Square. He added that the most disturbing aspect is when residents...

Presidents Claudine Gay of Harvard, Elizabeth Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, and Sally Kornbluth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology basically stuck to giving name, rank, and serial number. They repeated carefully rehearsed phrases obviously pre-cleared by lawyers and comms teams.Gay particularly kept restating the same phrases, not even bothering to find different variations. One formulation she clung on to, as though it were a talisman that would save her from the bad men and women that had her pinned on the stand, was, “We are deeply committed to free expression, but not when it violates our policies against...

This holiday season, many of us will be shopping in malls, joining holiday gatherings at entertainment venues, frequenting restaurants for holiday events and attending services in houses of worship. All these events have one thing in common: they will be held in public places, often with easy access by anyone. What they also have in common is that they are soft targets. Soft targets are public locations that do not have any obvious security protections in place. This is in contrast to hard targets, which are well guarded and fortified. Airports fall within the group of hard targets, with the...

So many people ask, “How in the world could this be happening? It is so crazy!” And they are correct. But the bible has been foretelling world events for thousands of years so it makes sense that perhaps it may have insight into what is going on today. A year or so ago, a good friend of mine who owns TheLibertyDaily.com sent me this chapter to read and everything made sense. Here are my thoughts on this chapter and the passage is below the video: 9:51 VIDEO AT LINK.......... II Thess Chapter 2 The Man of Lawlessness 2 Concerning the...
