Who The Hell Let Trump Into Arlington National Cemetery? |
Well, luckily for the former president*'s campaign, it wasn't raining on Monday, when he grotesquely used Arlington National Cemetery as a campaign prop because, as we know, he gets a little nervous around soldiers' graves in the rain, and he says things that require him to lie his ass off later. Most recently, of course, he devalued the Congressional Medal of Honor in favor of a bauble he draped on Rush Limbaugh and the wife of one of the sleaziest of his sleazy donors. |

Comes now Jack Smith with the fifth indictment brought against the former president* by one prosecutor or another. (New League Record!) This is by far the most interesting one, because not only does it take aim against El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago, but it also throws a nice drive-by elbow at the carefully manufactured conservative majority on the Supreme Court and its misbegotten decision on presidential immunity. |

I hate to keep dwelling on the former president*'s tasteless fiasco at Arlington National Cemetery, but... oh hell, who am I kidding? I'm wallowing in the sumbitch and intend to do so as long as others perseverated on Hillary Rodham Clinton's server practices. Or as long as there are New Developments. And, yes, there are New Developments, including Speaker Moses' alleged involvement in greasing the skids for the whole business. |

The palpable terror among the country's corporate class that an incoming Democratic administration might treat antitrust laws as something more than suggestions is utterly delightful to watch. (Senator Professor Warren has had its handmaidens in the press running hysterical for a while now. However, this National Review writer seems to have confused "enforcement" with "weaponization," a common mistake in conservative circles since the rise of El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago.) When Vice President Harris made a campaign issue out of price-gouging, conservative pundits went into orbit. Price Controls! Socialism! Somebody get the jaws of life so we can get the guy from Heritage off the ceiling! |

Let me tell you about a couple of blocks in Chicago, two blocks that are not far from the United Center, where the Democrats held their dance party this past week. They are unremarkable blocks, but they contain history, good and bad, and thus are worthy of discussion. |

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote. "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'" Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and ...
