There are multiple over-the-counter fever and pain-reducing medications, but they are not all equal and some can be dangerous for certain people. It is important to know the differences so you can keep you and your family safe.

Sunday's actions were all about trying - and failing - and trying - and failing to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Oregon. It's really confusing, so I break it down in this video...

"In this episode, Messellech βSelleyβ Abebe talks with Elisabeth Marnik, PhD about bridging the gap between science and everyday life, especially when it comes to kidsβ health."
Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

δΈͺ Post β’β’β’ Stephen Miller β’ @StephenM X.com The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. 1:59 PM β’ 10/4/25 β’ 5.1M Views 10K 27 21K 83K 2.3K 1
βGoering shouted, βThis [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.ββ
- Rise & Fall of the Third Reich, p 139
This reads far better in the original German, where of course the discussion would have been about Jews, Poles, gypsies, gays, Communists and Social Democrats. Still, Miller's model for all his rhetoric and action plans is unambiguous.

Trumpβs efforts to militarize ICE & send federalized Nat'l Guard troops onto American streets, firing government employees during the shutdown, it's all part of Project 2025, which he disavowed all knowledge of during the campaign because it was so unpopular.
