The arms discovered by the SEALs were the same type of weapons that the Yemeni rebels have used to attack international shipping in the Red Sea, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces—together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most vital waterways. These...

Not sorry. You need book smart and street smart to manage a university. You willingly walked into a PR trap and blunted the answer on content and timing. No matter how much prestige you have, it won't save you.

We're going to see if the country is run by laws, or this country is run by power. Too many have fantasized about ruling by power. Too long the opposition just blindly believed the system would check itself in an honor system. This case, from the home state of a confederate general, will reveal which path US chooses.

This is similar to the "correlation doesn't equal causation" fallacy.
Dual income and no kids, is due to the prospect of cost of living and raising a family out pacing income. Housing, vehicle, child care, tuition, are all the items pricing middle class out of options.
DINK is not a choice, if anything, it's more the result of not having the luxury to choose.
The economy is booming, but you also need to negotiate with your employer and switch jobs if needed. Unless your boss automatically gave your 10%+ annual adjustment, you are slowly falling behind.

Absolute waste of tax money and resources, anyone advocating for this policy is an idiot and psychotic control freak that should never be allowed to opine on public policy.
Outdated values are driving this country back into the stone age. The body was designed to be horny as we go through teenage years. It's nature. Rather than guide kids on the safe path, fools would forbid, outlaw, prohibit until they can't control them after age of 18.
Here's how this plays out... Kids are going to masturbate, regardless. They will dive deeper into the Internet into places with no restrictions and be exposed to really messed up stuff. Hey at least the parent can pat themselves on the back, right, they were good partners that did everything right by the book, even paying the kid's therapist.
Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, and control or influence 85% of consumer spending
No. Just flat out no. Statistically, if the norm is to start at 50%, then the quoted number is way too much deviation to be statistically improbable. It does not pass the smell test.
Then I scrolled further down. Oh boy, that website is a misinformation gift box.
Women account for 85% of all consumer purchases:
91% New Homes
66% PCs
92% Vacations
80% Healthcare
65% New Cars
89% Bank Accounts
93% Food
93% OTC Pharmaceuticals
I'm sorry, those assertion are just impossible. New home of $300k - $700k is purchase by women, alone? I stopped thinking after this and encourage all to stop believing something just because they "cited" their sources.
Only source that is trust worthy is US BLS, and this is the quote from the website.
Approximately 40% of U.S. working women now out-earn their husband.
In 2021, women who worked full time in wage and salary jobs had median usual weekly earnings of $912, which represented 83.1 percent of men’s median weekly earnings ($1,097).
This is the usual "80 cents for a 1.00 dollar" that has been widely tracked for the last decade, between women and men workers. This tells me the girls power link is misleading on key statistics. As a personal note, the government never refers to "wife" or "husband", so that immediate red flag this number was cherry picked and derived.
TL;DR - key figures shown on girls power marketing website does not pass smell test. Their "citing" is vague. Do not trust.
My opinion, websites like these hurt equality movement.

It always bothered me when in law class they said court "opinion" matters and can set "precedence". Then we go over case from 100 years ago saying they are still valid today.
I'm like ... is everything just loosely "understood" with final "constitutional" decision being made on the spot every time it's challenged? That's just asking for abuse of the system, try until you get what you want... Prof at that time convinced me there's more to that so don't worry.
Long behold, look at what extremists are doing at the SC today, and absolutely no rails to guard it.
