U.S. military posture in the Caribbean is costing billions, according to a Bloomberg analysis. The White House has said the operations around Venezuela didn’t cost taxpayers extra, because the forces involved are already deployed.

More on Ukraine's new national hero being thrown out of the #WinterOlympics
I have 2 videos to share from Vladyslav himself.
The IOC claimed the Skeleton rider refused to compromise. But Heraskevych gave his terms, PROVED discrimination by the IOC, and it was they that refused to compromise.

Incidentally, the IOC President Kirsty Coventry says she personally went to the event, but that Heraskevych was not prepared to compromise.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

86% of imigrants arrested had NOT been charged nor convicted of violent crimes.
~40% only had the crime of overstaying their visa or entering illegally. That includes those brought to America as children who are now productive members of society. We need bipartisan support for path to citizenship!

This librarian agrees. Take a minute or so to verify - find a published news article, check the bona fides of the person, be skeptical.

Periodic reminder: When someone shares news with "BREAKING" and they aren't a journalist and don't link to a news story, it's probably not the best source for people to be resharing. It might be trying to get rage reposts, even! Better to find a news article that is accurately describing facts.
