DOES ANYONE ELSE FIND IT STRANGE THAT BETWEEN 2008 AND 2012 THE PDRC PORTRAYED UNDETERMINED (43% OF THE DEATHS) AS A CAUSE OF DEATH? ‘The system has fallen apart’: A child dies every 3 days under Ontario’s care network. Every three days, a child who has been involved with Ontario’s care system dies, which isn't new. That’s according to provincial data obtained by Global News using freedom of information laws that tracked the deaths of 354 children between 2020 and 2022 who were under the care of the government in some form. The information captures children who died while living in care or with social work files that are either open or closed within 12 months of their death. The stark figures are causing alarm among advocates who say the government is failing in its most basic duty. “I’m mortified, I had no idea that this many kids were dying who have been in care, involved in care or somewhat around the system,” Ontario NDP MPP Monique Taylor told Global News after...

The Difference in Being Poor in Red States versus Blue States. Part I - Welfare and Federalism. This chapter discusses how Republicans at the federal and state level are adding behavior modification requirements to a wide array of public benefits programs, thus driving a divide between red and blue states. Behavior modification requirements include tying public assistance to work requirements, family caps (limits on benefits based on family size), and drug tests. Congress first approved behavior modification requirements on a large-scale as part of welfare reform in 1996. These requirements are attempts to control the behavior of the poor, based on an assumption that poor people are morally deficient. To implement these changes, Republicans are using federalism tools such as waivers, or statutorily permitted deviations from federal program norms on a state-by-state basis. The Trump administration has already approved work requirements for Medicaid and signaled that it w...

In this video, Carl Sagan explores the vastness of the universe, the power of science, and the limitations of religious belief. He emphasizes the importance of skepticism, evidence, and the scientific method in shaping humanity’s future, while questioning the role of faith and mythology in understanding our place in the cosmos. In His Final Interview, Carl Sagan Warned That Someone Just Like Trump Could Take Over America. "If we are not able to ask skeptical questions... then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan." "We've arranged a society on science and technology in which nobody understands anything about science and technology, and this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is going to blow up in our faces," the late "Cosmos" host said. "I mean, who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" https://futurism.com/the-byte/carl-sagan-warned-c...

Vince McMahon is accused of sex trafficking in a lawsuit: A former staffer sued WWE founder Vince McMahon, former head of talent relations John Laurinaitis and WWE on Thursday for violating the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act, negligence, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other claims in a case depicting McMahon as a sexual predator who used power and wealth to brutally subjugate an “easy target.” The lawsuit could turn on the enforceability of a nondisclosure agreement and a mandatory arbitration provision. Vince McMahon sexually preyed on female wrestler Ashley Massaro shortly before she killed herself: report. Much of Grant’s complaint portrays WWE staff as not only tolerating McMahon’s alleged misdeeds but facilitating them. She says in June 2021, McMahon and Laurinaitis “cornered her” in a locked office room and “pulled her in between them.” Grant says they proceeded to “forcibly touch her” and told her, “No means yes” and “Take it, ...

Donald Trump’s promises that women “will no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. "You will no longer be in danger. You’re not going to be in danger any longer. You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today under my watch if I'm elected, “I am your protector. I want to be your protector as president. I have to be your protector,” Trump told campaign supporters Monday night. “I hope you don’t make too much of it. I hope the fake news doesn’t go, he wants to be their protector. Well, I am as president. I have to be your protector.” What could be more ominous sounding than that statement? Trump’s own history using gag orders against women goes back decades, long before he entered the political arena. He used them to silence both of his former wives. He used them against a former Miss Universe contestant. He used them during his time running the Trump Organization. "We Were All Naked” When Donald Trump Walked Through Beauty Queen ...

George Conway's Anti-Psycho PAC is trolling Trump hard, even at his own golf courses! Rick Reilly, one of America’s preeminent sportswriters and a member of the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Hall of Fame, is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump (2019). Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game. Reilly reveals how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the "Trump Bump"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game. Donald Trump played a round of golf at during his visit to Ireland but ran into difficulty on the 18th hole of Doonbeg golf cou...
