Trump Rants About Toilets, Brags About Dementia Test at Unhinged Rally
Donald Trump did a rally in Delaware, Ohio over the weekend ostensibly to endorse JD Vance for the US Senate. However, taking center stage during the speech were two particularly unhinged rants about plumbing and a dementia test. Trump spoke for several minutes about how dishwashers, sinks, showers, and toilets didn’t produce enough water before his administration. He then took credit for how, because of his presidency, the water is now flowing freely. Trump then alluded to how toilets used to not flush correctly and he’d have to flush them “one time, two times, five times, ten times.” Later on in the rally, Trump brought up the test he took a few years ago called the “Montreal cognitive assessment” which screens for dementia. Even though the test includes such questions as asking participants to identify a lion and a camel, Trump claimed the doctor told him “it gets very tough.” Trump then bragged about how he did well on it, even though the test is rather easy for someone not suffering from cognitive decline. It’s incredible that at this late stage, Trump’s supporters still are enamored by this type of commentary about plumbing and cognitive exams.
Visibly Bloated Putin Grips Table for Support in New Video
There is new video suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ill. Ever since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has been speculated without hard evidence that Putin is sick and possibly dying, since his actions haven’t been making much logical sense. The invasion tanked the Russian economy, and capturing Ukraine didn’t seem to offer any strategic advantage either with his home audience or on the global stage. In this new video, Putin is speaking with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the Russian leader can be seen throughout the entire exchange gripping the table he’s seated at for support. Perhaps he is doing this to avoid some type of tremor or shaking from being visible. Putin is also tapping his foot throughout and his face looks even more pale and bloated than usual. This video falls well short of what would be a smoking gun proving Putin’s health is in rapid decline, but it does provide supporting evidence for a theory that’s making more and more sense as the days go on.

STUDY: Legalizing Marijuana Lowers Demand for Prescription Drugs
A new study finds that legalizing cannabis lowers demand for prescription drugs. The study was conducted by Cornell University and researchers analyzed data from all 50 states between 2011 and 2019. In states that had legalized marijuana, there was a decline in prescriptions for drugs targeting pain, depression, anxiety, sleep loss, and other issues. The study also pointed to cannabis legalization saving the government money. One researcher, Shyam Raman, said about this, “the reductions in drug utilization that we find could lead to significant cost savings for state Medicaid programs. The results also indicate an opportunity to reduce the harm that can come with the dangerous side effects associated with some prescription drugs.” In many ways, this study confirms what we already suspected about cannabis versus prescription drugs. As if it wasn’t already crystal clear, it’s time to legalize cannabis nationwide.

Candace Owens: The Govt "Intentionally Killed People in Hospitals During COVID"
Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk appeared for a Turning Point USA “Don’t Mandate Tour” and Owens offered some uniquely dangerous disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. Candace took a question from an audience member and responded, “I am a big believer that they intentionally killed people in hospitals during COVID.” First of all, Owens says “they” killed people, without explaining who exactly “they” are. Perhaps she means doctors, nurses, or even government officials, but since she doesn’t have proof of any of this, Candace has to keep it vague and say “they.” Owens went on to say that she had to go to the hospital during the pandemic for asthma treatment and that “breathing was not allowed.” These statements wouldn’t be so dangerous if they were coming from an unhinged person on a street corner, but Candace actually has a loyal following and many of them are inclined to believe this nonsense she’s spewing.
