Skip..

 

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s attempt to skip out on paying nearly $500,000 in restitution and fines for sticking taxpayers with the bill for his NYPD detail during his failed 2020 presidential run was struck down Tuesday by a state Supreme Court judge.

Judge Shah abud deen Abid Ally tossed out de Blasio’s suit, calling his claims that mayors are exempt from the city’s charter laws and that he was not responsible for security decisions “meritless.”

The city’s Conflicts of Interest Board ruled in June 2023 that de Blasio would have to pay back $319,794.20 – and a $155,000 fine – for travel, meal and lodging expenses for his police detail, who traveled with him and his family as soon as he announced his bid for the White House in May 2019.

Unfortunate..

 

People get divorced at a high rate due to a variety of reasons, including lack of commitment, unrealistic expectations about marriage, poor communication, infidelity, financial stress, growing apart over time, significant differences in values or lifestyles, unresolved conflict, and sometimes even marrying too young without sufficient preparation for the complexities of a long-term relationship; essentially, when couples struggle to effectively navigate challenges and maintain a healthy level of intimacy and compatibility, divorce can become a result.

Almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation.

According to most statistics, around 67% of second marriages end in divorce, while approximately 73% of third marriages fail, meaning the failure rate significantly increases with each subsequent marriage.

The average length of a second marriage ending in divorce is typically around 7-8 years.

That doesn't exactly make you want to run to the altar.

Brain Health..

 

Studies increasingly show a link between diet and both physical and mental health.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source, following a healthy diet throughout life can not only protect against malnutrition, but can also reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

The WHO advises that a healthy diet includes: fruit, vegetables, nuts, Beans and whole grains

The Mediterranean diet which emphasizes intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, Beans, and olive oil, while limiting meat, dairy and ultra processed foods, may be particularly beneficial for brain health.

 The study, published in Gut Microbes Reports, suggests that not only did the Mediterranean diet change gut microbiota and improve serum lipid levels, it also improved memory and cognition.

Forward..

With all the efforts the Democratic party did to Donald J Trump, including court cases, the American public choose him over.   Just a thought.

Sanctions..

The International sanctions against Syria are a series of economic sanctions and restrictions imposed on Syria which was under the Ba'athist regime at that time by the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland, mainly as a result of the repression of civilians in the Syrian civil war from 2011 ...

Saudi Arabia urged top European diplomats at a gathering Sunday to lift sanctions against Syria to boost rebuilding the country and its economy after last month’s overthrow of President Bashar Assad.

European and Middle Eastern diplomats met in the Saudi capital Riyadh to discuss Syria’s future. 

The U.S. and European countries have been wary over the Islamist roots of Syria’s new rulers, the former insurgents who drove Assad out of power and have said ending sanctions depends on the progress of the political transition.

War..

 

During President Biden's time, no one asked the standard questions like what are we doing in Syria, and what did we achieve.  What did we replace the president of Syria with? For fourteen years, the USA placed sanctions on Syria which destroyed its economy and led half of the country to flee hunger and war and became refugees.

Or why we're supplying so much money/Weapons, Cluster Bombs to the Ukraine to continue the war with death and misery all around it.

And last what cost the US and World inflation as the Administration placed additional sanctions on Russian oil and Natural gas which the President himself said "this is going to be real". Food shortage.  Just a thought.
