Why Teen Depression Rates Are Rising Faster for Girls Than Boys - Intellectual Takeout

We’re in the middle of a teen mental health crisis – and girls are at its epicenter. - Jean Twenge

• Since 2010, depression, self-harm and suicide rates have increased among teen boys. 
• But rates of major depression among teen girls in the U.S. increased even more – from 12 percent in 2011 to 20 percent in 2017. 

...Meanwhile, the suicide rate for adolescent girls has doubled since 2007.

• Rates of depression started to tick up just as smartphones became popular, so digital media could be playing a role...

Change! U.S. Sees First Sustained Drop in Fentanyl-Linked Overdose Deaths in Years

One reason, as explained by Sec. of War Pete Hegseth, is that “NO ONE wants to get into a narco boat” after U.S. military’s successful hits. - Leslie Eastman

“Overall I think this continues to be encouraging, especially since we’re seeing declines almost across the nation,” he said.
Overdose deaths began steadily climbing in the 1990s with overdoses involving opioid painkillers, followed by waves of deaths from heroin and — more recently — illicit fentanyl. 

Deaths peaked nearly 110,000 in 2022, fell a little in 2023 and then plummeted 27% in 2024, to around 80,000. 

That was the largest one-year decline ever recorded.

The legacy media won't show this:
> 2023 all-time highs in border encounters, illegal immigration, and fentanyl deaths
> 2025 lowest numbers in decades and still plummeting

Schweizer: Foreign Adversaries 'Are Using Mass Migration as a Political Weapon'

Schweizer: Foreign Adversaries 'Are Using Mass Migration as a Political Weapon': 

He added, “And as I document in the book, government officials from Mexico, individuals from China, from the Muslim Brotherhood, they are responsible for a lot of the chaos in our streets, the violent anti-ICE protests, the other protests that we’ve seen taking place. This is an organized effort to undermine America. So we need to think not just about immigration as an issue, but about weaponized immigration and how our foreign adversaries are using it against us.”

History and the Limits of the Climate Consensus - The American Conservative

Acknowledging the science of global warming does not require accepting that it is immune to criticism. - Philip Jenkins

• Some periods in particular, especially the years around 1680 and 1740, stand out as uniquely stressful. Extreme cold led to crop failures and revolts, social crises and apocalyptic movements, high mortality and epidemics, but it also spawned religious revivals and experimentation. 

If you write history without taking account of such extreme conditions, you are missing a lot of the story...we must acknowledge that the climate has changed quite radically through the millennia, and that equally is beyond dispute...

• The issue today is identifying and assessing the human role in accelerating that process...

See for instance the recent Papal encyclical Laudato Si, with its much-quoted statement that

Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.

Well, not exactly. 

• “Climate change” is a fact and a reality, rather like the movement of tectonic plates, or indeed like evolution...

'Anarchists': More major hotels cancel reservations of ICE agents as protesters now 'threatening American citizens' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

'Anarchists': More major hotels cancel reservations of ICE agents as protesters now 'threatening American citizens' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs: 

He said it's not just federal agents being targeted at hotels: "These anarchists are starting to go out in the streets and they are threatening American citizens." "They go after the vehicles of anyone they think that is even associated with ICE and sometimes American citizens wake up to find their vehicle tires slashed, damaged and/or vandalized."

What Does Katie Get? - John Kass - John Kass

One year ago, young and beautiful Katie Abraham was in a car with her college friends, waiting at a red light in Urbana, Illinois.

A Modest Proposal From Tom Homan

Every liberal I know (or see online) believes that all the chaos here in Minneapolis and other Blue cities is the fault of Trump and Tom Homan. - David Strom
At the very least, they believe that ICE should tone down its tactics and everything would be just fine, as it was before they tried to deport illegal aliens.
If the feds hadn't invaded, peace would reign in the valley, or something...
But what liberals seem to miss is something Mayor Frey referred to in that clip from his appearance on Fox News: the chaos only happens in sanctuary cities and states.
Why?
