"You're not taking my gun"

New York (CNN Business)It's been nine years since Michael Robinson of Columbus, Ohio, nearly lost a major part of his family's legacy. He's still fighting to regain full control of it. In 2012, the 57-year-old married father of four, who is Black, found out someone he'd never met named James E.

He’s trembling again. President Trump struggled to lift a glass of water Saturday during his speech to U.S. Military Academy graduates at West Point. Trump started to lift the glass with his right hand but seemed unable to guide it all the way up to his lips. The president used his left hand to steady the glass and tilt it into his mouth. After his speech, Trump also looked unsteady as he walked down a set of stairs after a lethargic speech to the graduates of the Army college. Apparently rattled by the coverage, Trump defensively took to Twitter late...

I've liked Nick for years, he's a comedian, but a rare right wing comedian. He does curse including the F bomb, so anyone who doesn't like to hear that, please don't watch and click the link.

Trump touts hydroxychloroquine as a cure for Covid-19. Don't believe the hype The anti-malaria drug could be ‘one of the biggest game-changers’, Trump claimed, but there is no magic cure Faced with a global coronavirus pandemic that is increasingly centered upon the US, Donald Trump has touted several drugs that he claims can help tackle the outbreak. In March, the US president used a press conference to promote the use of hydroxychloroquine, a common anti-malaria drug, to treat Covid-19, saying: “I sure as hell think we ought to give it a try.” Chloroquine: Trump's misleading claims spark hoarding and overdoses...

(CNN) — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization for chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine to treat patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The drugs — which are used to treat malaria and other conditions — have been called game changers by President Donald Trump. But thus far, there is little scientific evidence that chloroquine, or its closely-related analogue hydroxychloroquine, are effective in treating Covid-19. What happened? The authorization came in a letter dated Saturday, but the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledged the FDA’s action in a Sunday news release. The FDA limited the...

Julie Swetnick, the third woman to accuse Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, was accused of domestic violence by a former boyfriend in 2001, according to Florida court records.
