[NYPOST] Hark! Is that prohibition knocking at the back door? Give it a nickle and tell it to go get a booster shot... On second thought, don't give it a nickle.
As it turns out, consuming just one alcoholic beverage per day — whether it be a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a shot of your favorite spirit — can shorten your lifespan by approximately two-and-a-half months, one expert asserts
Dr. Tim Stockwell, of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, told Daily Mail that those who drink significantly more alcohol than that — about 35 beverages a week — could slash a staggering two years off their lifespan.

If you don’t drink you’ll live longer… or at least it will seem that way.

If you're really interested in any study, you've got to get past the biased 'reporting' and search read the study for assumptions, limitations, and need for more research to determine if it's worth worrying about.
I learned this from the CDC-sponsored mask study reported as proof masks are vital one day, and useless the next day. Reading parts of the the original study showed it hopelessly flawed and pointless.
Dig in!

..."can shorten your lifespan"..."oneexpert asserts"...your mileage may vary. Classic assumption of the specific outcome derived from generalizations. Clickbait in effect!
[FoxNews] 'Becky Pringle pulled a Dwight Schrute. She is off-the-rails and desperate to maintain control over the minds of other people’s children'
The president of the National Education Association (NEA) was mocked over the weekend for giving a "totally unhinged" speech that reminded critics of a comedy skit from a famous American TV show.
NEA President Becky Pringle banged on the podium, flailed her hands in the air and screamed about winning "all the things" repeatedly at the NEA's Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly (RA) in Philadelphia. X critics compared the moment to an iconic scene with Dwight Schrute from "The Office."
During the screechy speech, Pringle called for transformative social justice change in the education system in the pursuit of equity.
"To unite not just our members, but the nation to reclaim public education as a common good, as the foundation of our democracy, and then transform it into something it was never designed to be—a racially and socially just and equitable system," Pringle said. "We worked hard to rid ourselves of a tyrannical, deceitful, and corrupt White House, but the reality is that the seeds that were sown during that horrible season continue to germinate."
"We are the ones who help shape the heart of this nation's hope and dreams. We are the ones who hold steadfast to the belief in the plausibility of the possible. We are the heirs of all who did this work before us. We must keep going. NEA Delegates, we can do this work. We must do this work," she added.
"Our students are depending on us to win all the things," Pringle said, while continuing her screechy pitch. "All the things! All the things! All the things."

[FoxNews] None of the 51 signatories expressed regret about signing the letter
Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., took aim at a group of intelligence officials responsible for signing a letter that sought to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story on the eve of the 2020 election.
"The 51 should all be prosecuted for knowingly pushing a false statement," Tenney said in a post on X Sunday. "See 18 U.S.C. § 1001, it's a felony crime to: make a ‘false statement’ to an agent of the federal government related to a federal matter."
A palpable point.
"The 51" in Tenney’s post refers to 51 former top intel officials who signed on to a letter claiming that the laptop at the center of a New York Post report just weeks before the 2020 election bore all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign, a document that was later used by President Biden to shrug off concerns over the device in a debate with former President Trump. It was later revealed that the laptop was real, even eventually being entered as evidence in Hunter Biden’s federal gun trial.
In the wake of that trial, Fox News Digital reached out to all 51 individuals who signed the October 2020 letter to ask if they regretted signing it after it was revealed to be authentic.
"No," former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said.
"This is very old news," Greg Treverton, a signatory who previously served as chair of the National Intelligence Council, told Fox News Digital. ‘"What we said was true, we were inferring from our experience, and it did look like a Russian operation.
This, of course, strongly suggests that they were not competent to hold the positions in which they gained that experience. Are any of them named Peter?
We didn't, and couldn't of course say it was a Russian operation. Enough said."
Meanwhile, an attorney for signatories Ronald Marks, Marc Polymeropoulos, Douglas Wise, Paul Kolbe, John Sipher, Emile Nakhleh and Gerald O’Shea provided Fox News Digital with a statement that claimed signing the letter was a "patriotic" move by his clients.
"A careful and objective reading of the document reflects that even today its content is accurate," the attorney, Mark S. Zaid, said. "It served as nothing more than a warning letter of what we have known for decades: certain foreign governments – including Russia – continue to try and actively interfere in our domestic affairs and our guard must remain vigilant. Every patriotic American should have signed that letter."
"The full list of signatories is as follows:
Former CIA Director and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta,

[Regnum] Representatives of the Democratic Party insist that US President Joe Biden withdraw his candidacy from the presidential election, the Axios portal wrote on July 7, citing its sources.
"A rapidly growing number of Democrats are praying and plotting for a more earthly intervention. They want everyone begging Biden to drop out by Friday," the publication says.
Democrats also hope, the article notes, that calls to not participate in the presidential elections will be heard “from Barack Obama to congressional leaders.”
Earlier, the American leader explained in what case he would withdraw from the presidential race. According to him, he would refuse to participate in the presidential race only if God descended from heaven and told him to do so.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, calls to remove Biden's candidacy from the upcoming US elections began to be heard immediately after the televised debates that took place between him and former US President Donald Trump on June 27. Many supporters of the Democratic Party considered the speech of the current president a failure. They pointed out that the American leader constantly stuttered and got confused when answering questions.
The American leader himself had previously cited international travel he had been taking throughout the month as the reason for his failed performance at the televised debates. Later, in an interview with Milwaukee radio host Earl Ingram, Biden admitted that he had “screwed up.”

It would be hard for Kamala to take over as president and campaign. It would be hard for Joe to drop out and stay in the WH based on what has leaked. They can’t bypass Jill. They can’t bypass Kamala.
