#2 Diagnosed and Dissociated: What the Data Really Says About SSRIs and Violence - Tracy Beanz and Michelle Edwards for The HighWire, Nick Sortor, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH®, Vigilant Fox, AZ Red Scorpion, and Jake Shields/Swarmy on X
In a world reeling from the increase in autistic and transgender school shooters, the mental health needs of transgender and neurodivergent individuals remain both visible and invisible—clear for many to see an evident pattern, yet underexplored in policy, even though roughly 40 percent of this population is prescribed SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Following the latest shooting in August, where a transgender mass shooter killed two children and wounded 17 others before killing himself, U. S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has demanded an investigation into whether the pharmaceutical drugs taken by this shooter and others while transitioning—especially SSRIs—played a role in the horrific massacre...#3 South Koreans Detained in U.S. Immigration Raid Arrive Back Home to Applause and Protests - NBC News, Random Bot, RickRocker, KAMC News, GCC News 24, ChocoSyrup, and FOX 5 Atlanta on X
Hundreds of South Korean workers detained in a U.S. immigration raid arrived in Seoul on Friday, ending a weeklong ordeal that has created business uncertainty and strained relations with a key U.S. ally. More than 300 South Koreans — 307 men and 10 women — were among 475 people detained in the Sept. 4 raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia by U.S. immigration and other federal officials who said they were investigating allegations of unlawful employment practices. The Korean Air plane was also carrying 14 employees of South Korean companies from China, Japan, and Indonesia, while one of the 317 South Koreans decided to remain in the United States rather than agree to “voluntary departure.”
#4 Poland Rejects Trump’s Suggestion That Russia’s Drone Raid “Could Have Been a Mistake” - CBS News, Abee Watson, eri, Dr.Eng., KWAME OKYERE, Cezary Tomczyk/Agnes, and Aaron Weiner on X
Warsaw — Poland's most senior officials on Friday dismissed President Trump's suggestion that a major Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace could have been a mistake by Vladimir Putin's military. "We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn't. And we know it," Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a message posted on social media. Polish authorities said they had recovered parts of 17 Russian-made drones, which fell without causing any injuries or major damage in the east of the country on Wednesday. Polish and allied NATO fighter jets from Holland were scrambled to intercept the drones — a first such response to aerial Russian military incursions into NATO airspace since Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago.

His death has drawn attention to the rising threat of political violence in the U.S...

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota ridiculed admirers of Charlie Kirk while trying to express sadness at his assassination.

Omar expressed sadness for Kirk's wife and children before going through a litany of her objections to Kirk's political positions. Among those positions were that guns save lives and that Juneteenth should not exist as a holiday. She also claimed that he downplayed slavery and the controversy over George Floyd, as well as what black people have gone through in the U.S...

#9 How The EU Pays Mainstream Media To Promote Its Narratives - Tyler Durden Zerohedge/Robert Williams for The Gatestone Institute, Nancy Mearig, Rogue Gnat/Lord Bebo, Without Name, Russia Market, and Fort Bastion FIGHTING : Socialism & Nazi-Islamism on X
The unelected leadership of the evidently corrupt European Union (EU) is now paying mainstream media to promote the agendas of its EU "elites." The EU appears to have spent as much as 1 billion euros during the past decade alone in the process, according to a recent report, "Brussels's media machine: European media funding and the shaping of public discourse," by Thomas Fazi, from the European think tank MCC Brussels. Framing the projects as "fighting disinformation" and "promoting European integration," the EU has been throwing taxpayer money, conservatively estimated at €80 million annually, to "media projects" -- not including indirect funding, such as advertising contracts...#10 Trump Greeted With Chants of ‘USA!’ After Arriving at Yankee Stadium for 9/11 Anniversary Game - Dylan Gwinn for Breitbart, RUNNER TUSHAR, America, Amen.

President Donald Trump traveled to New York on Thursday, where he was greeted with cheers and chants of “USA! USA!” after arriving at Yankee Stadium before their 9/11 anniversary game. Before being greeted by the crowd, Trump was welcomed by the players and staff in the clubhouse, as he hailed the Steinbrenners as “a great family.”“It’s a great family. [Team president] Randy [Levine] is wonderful, and I will say, you’re gonna win. George used to for some reason, I don’t know what it was, we won every time I came. Every time I came, we’d win a game. If you think that was easy, sitting with him for a game, it wasn’t. It was brutal. We were exhausted at the end. But we won, and you’re going to win. You’re gonna go all the way. Can you get in the playoff? I think. How about tonight, we start tonight, and you’re gonna do well...
