🚨 Italy is reeling from the tragedy of five Italians 🇮🇹, including a mother and daughter, in the MALDIVES, who never resurfaced after an exploratory dive A devastating loss that raises a pressing question: are all necessary safety measures being taken in this kind of activity?


Even when someone is bleeding to death or dying- it’s AN emergency. It’s not YOUR emergency. Take a breath, make sure the scene is safe and start MARCH.












FOX NEWS INVESTIGATION: 425 organizations with a combined $1 billion in annual revenues coordinate 736 anti-Israel 'Nakba 78' protests across 39 countries today — a transnational network that includes communist groups, Marxist-funded nonprofits and coalitions linked to Chinese Communist Party sympathizers. The campaign's own materials don't call for a ceasefire or two-state solution. They call for the dismantling of Israel itself, framing the U.S. as a 'fascist, imperialist, genocidal settler state' and erasing Israel's name entirely from their literature. The U.S. leads all nations with 187 events planned.



WE NEED MORE HOSPITALS, NOT MEDICAL SCHOOLS WE NEED MORE NURSES, NOT MEDICAL SCHOOLS WE NEED MORE DENTISTS, NOT MEDICAL SCHOOLS





For the @WSJFreeEx, @MJ_Koch reacts to charts from @FamStudies @grantjbailey showing the steep decline in alcohol consumption among teenagers. Classic teen behaviors "are more likely to happen with a little help from humanity’s oldest life hack: liquid courage."




Student funding in California is now a RECORD HIGH! Since Governor Newsom took office, it’s increased 66%— reaching $28,282 per student as the state makes historic investments in public education.




It’s interesting that the people with the strongest negative opinions about SSRIs come from people that have never been responsible for treating a patient with severe MDD. I couldn’t imagine having such a strong opinion about something I’ve never done. It’s wild.




This was something I was known for when in the Navy. I learned it from my Dad (36 year Naval Officer). The more "exciting" things got, the calmer he got. I eventually learned to model that as a young Officer. Key question: "Is anyone currently bleeding to death, not breathing, or about to die? No? Then let's take some time and solve the problem." And even if someone IS, do what the SEALS do: Slow is Smooth; Smooth is Fast. An Aviator has three primary things to really worry about: 1. Serious uncontrolled fire. 2. Out of control flight below 10,000 feet. 3. Dual engine failure in the landing pattern. For virtually everything else, you have time. Freaking out, running around in circles waving your arms in the air, and screaming like a little girl solves absolutely nothing. It also freaks out your Sailors. My Dad also taught me that Naval Officers never run down passageways, for the same reason above (unless you're the SAR launch). Panic is infectious. Don't start it. Speak in calm, measured, authoritative tones. Speak clearly. Give clear, concise orders/guidance. My Dad would even talk quieter to make sure everyone leaned in and listened. This is Leadership 101 level stuff.
