Parents with children who have ADHD have my sympathy.  Therapy takes a long time and doesn’t always work.  It’s also not cheap.  Dietary changes aren’t easy to implement.  Drugs don’t always work and they aren’t necessarily cheap either.  Drugs can also have horrible side effects.  So there’s a new treatment that the FDA recently approved for kids ages 7-12 with ADHD:  an electrical pulse patch to wear on their foreheads while they sleep.  Continue reading “FDA Approves Low-Level Electrical Pulse Forehead Patch to Be Worn by Children Ages 7-12 with ADHD While They Are Sleeping”

The liberal world order, which lasted from the end of World War 2 until today, is rapidly collapsing. The center of gravity is shifting from west to east where China and India are experiencing explosive growth and where a revitalized Russia has restored its former stature as a credible global superpower. These developments, coupled with America’s imperial overreach and chronic economic stagnation, have severely hampered US ability to shape events or to successfully pursue its own strategic objectives.

And although they still step up their enforcement of driving while high around the holiday, police departments, too, have become much more willing to treat the subject with frivolity.  Continue reading “Police Departments Have Started Treating ‘420 Day’ Like A Joke”

Five high-ranking NYPD cops who were forced to resign amidst a bribery scandal in the department in 2016 were awarded more than $1 million for vacation and overtime they were owed, law-enforcement sources told The Post Friday.
