Well, well, well. The first school shooting of the new administration. Can't wait to see what - if anything - they'll have to say about it. Other than "thoughts and prayers," of course.

Beautiful how Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos donated 10% of their net worths and completely covered the cost of the tragic Los Angeles fires.
The contributions from billionaire Donald Trump were also beautiful.
And the leaders of the megachurches contributing like that was Christ-like.

SpouseMD has been saying this for years: that abdominal obesity (excess fat around the organs), often estimated using WHR, is a better measure than BMI. 1/2
Move aside, BMI: There's a better way to define obesity, commission finds
An international committee of scientists has proposed changing the way obesity is defined and diagnosed. The proposal adds more ways to measure body composition and fat.

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth.
Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.
