In this episode, we talk about: an accidental proposal gone right(?), a girlfriend who was caught with an underage photo, a couple of "roommates" who have failed to DTR (define their relationship, I'm using slang chat), a high IQ alpha male not sure how to handle his emotions, a girlfriend who tastes round, and a listener who is unsure of what to do about their ex wife's new relationship.

Story at-a-glance Fluoridated water provides little dental benefit but carries serious neurological risks, including lower IQ and disrupted brain development in children Most developed countries have rejected fluoridation and still have similar rates of dental health, while 62.8% of Americans receive it without informed consent A North Dakota investigation revealed federally funded officials using deceptive tactics to override local authority when communities attempted to end water fluoridation programs Beyond cognitive impacts, fluoride exposure has been linked to skeletal fluorosis, increased fracture risk, thyroid issues, and muscle atrophy To reduce your fluoride exposure, install specialized filtration systems, use fluoride-free oral products, avoid hidden sources in food and beverages, and advocate for policy changes

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the weekend series against the Minnesota Twins, Bowden Francis continuing to struggle on the mound, what's best for him moving forward and Tyler Heineman's baseball IQ with his at-bats and behind the plate. Then, Blue Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman stops by (27:50) to discuss if Bowden will make his start against the Phillies in Philadelphia, the bullpen's workload, why the team isn't concerned about Jeff Hoffman, whether this is the best version of George Springer in a Jays uniform and an evaluation for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s season.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Since Representative Thomas Massie is one of the few politicians with more than a single digit IQ, he managed to no only read the "One Big Beautiful Bill" but also find this little nugget: “No State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act.” As Rep. Massie points out, this “would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.” But is this a reality? Is the demand for AI data centers that pressing? Yes. *** Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

And remember... its just a podcast that's a week late! Sorry for disappointing everyone, please don't hate us, we can't take the Discord messages and Instagram DMs of people calling us losers and saying how much we've ruined their lives. Look, here's the thing - we're 3 men bordering middle age who live a life of mild luxury, some real executives, some real movers and shakers in our respective careers but we struggle - BOY do we struggle - with the expectations set upon us by our loved ones and our jobs. Think something like an episode of Mad Men or a song by The National - upper middle class white collar workers CAN suffer and are the frequent victims of existential crises. We turn this suffering into beautiful art where we listen to a deeply unwell, subnormal IQ man "review" video games in the 2000s. There are no online possibilities. But there is Japanese animation. And most importantly, you can't make a black or Chinese character in The Godfather PS2 game.

In Case Number CR01-24-31665, defendant Bryan C. Kohberger has filed a reply to the State's response regarding his motion to strike the death penalty due to his diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The defense asserts that Kohberger's ASD results in significant impairments in communication, reasoning, social skills, and understanding others' reactions—factors that, according to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Atkins v. Virginia, diminish moral culpability and render the death penalty unconstitutional for individuals with such disabilities. They emphasize that these deficits have been present since early childhood and persist into adulthood, affecting Kohberger's adaptive functioning despite his high intelligence quotient (IQ). The defense references the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), noting that individuals with ASD may exhibit a substantial gap between intellectual abilities and adaptive functioning, leading to challenges in daily living, self-care, socialization, and communication. ​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ty ABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

There's something so exciting about discovering just how powerful your mind really is. The more you understand it, the more life begins to open in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. Today's episode is filled with those kinds of lightbulb moments—where healing, clarity, and joy come together. As Brandy continues her work with our beautiful volunteer Melissa, she helps reveal something that many people unknowingly experience: the mind linking up that it's safer to retreat from life than to fully live it. Despite Melissa's desire to heal, her subconscious patterns have been pulling her in the opposite direction—using meditation to check out, associating love with illness, and trying to feel valued by fixing others. As Brandy gently guides her to uncover these patterns, Melissa begins to recognize how deep the feelings of fear, hurt, and disconnection have been—along with the belief that life isn't safe, and that support only comes when she's unwell. Through these insights, Brandy illustrates how even the kindest people can stay stuck in loops of feeling unloved, unsupported, or isolated. This episode is filled with heartfelt realizations and transformative shifts that can help you reflect on your own emotional patterns and relationships—and take steps toward falling back in love with life. Brandy shares powerful insights such as: How subconscious emotional associations can quietly override conscious effort Why healing goes deeper than meditation, mindset, or affirmation work alone The energetic shifts needed to release old stories and step into joy, love, and connection How to break cycles of emotional isolation and rediscover your power to connect and thrive Come join us! You won't want to miss the insights that unfold. IMPORTANT NOTE: We understand that some may believe mind-body healing is impossible. Therefore, if you would like to see images of individuals using their minds to relieve pain, you can check out this medical journal. It includes images from some of Brandy's case studies. If you want to learn how to use your mind to heal yourself, you can check out the training on Brandy's website. Each week, Brandy publishes a volunteer episode where she coaches a volunteer to heal themselves using their own mind. In addition, Brandy shares a quick IQ episode (Insights and Questions) where she answers listener questions or delves deeper into insights on working with the mind for healing.

Get ready for a deep dive into one of the most fundamental—and sometimes misunderstood—aspects of high school football! In this episode of Whistle Talk, host Mike D the Referee is joined by special guest Daniel Chamberlin to break down Rule 5 of the NFHS Football Rule Book: Series of Downs, Number of Down, and Team Possessions After Penalty.What Is Rule 5?Rule 5 governs the heartbeat of every football game: the series of downs. Here's what you'll learn:Each team in possession of the ball is granted a series of four downs to advance the ball at least 10 yards from where the series begins.If the team fails to advance the required yardage, possession goes to the opponent.The rule also covers what happens after penalties, how downs are counted, and the procedures that keep the game moving fairly and efficiently.Why Rule 5 MattersUnderstanding Rule 5 is essential for everyone on the field and the sidelines:Players need to know how many opportunities they have to move the chains and what happens if they don't.Coaches must master the rule to make strategic decisions, manage the clock, and guide their teams effectively. Teaching the rules is part of building character and sportsmanship in athletes.Officials are tasked with enforcing these procedures accurately, ensuring fair play and minimizing confusion. Proper knowledge of Rule 5 helps avoid unnecessary disputes and keeps the game flowing smoothly.As the NFHS emphasizes, all participants—players, coaches, and officials—share responsibility for upholding the rules and the spirit of the game.What to Expect in the EpisodeMike D and Daniel Chamberlin will:Break down the language and intent of Rule 5.Share real-world scenarios where understanding the series of downs can change the outcome of a game.Offer tips for coaches and players to avoid common pitfalls.Discuss how officials communicate and enforce these rules on Friday nights.Whether you're a coach designing your next drive, a player fighting for that crucial first down, or an official keeping order on the field, this episode will give you the insights you need to master the basics and elevate your football IQ.Where to ListenCatch this episode and more on Whistle Talk — available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

The NBA Finals are set, and it's a matchup no one predicted: the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. the Indiana Pacers. In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Sid, and Michael break down how we got here and what this Finals clash means for the league.The crew dives deep into the surprising playoff dominance of the Thunder — a young team built the "right" way through the draft and savvy trades, now on the cusp of a potential dynasty. Despite being ahead of schedule, OKC's complete health, defensive excellence, and roster depth have propelled them past expectations. But that same dominance has sparked mixed emotions. Sid admits to “hate-watching” OKC, questioning their lack of “aura" despite their undeniable success.Meanwhile, the Pacers are enjoying a thrilling underdog run. Led by Haliburton's supercomputer-level basketball IQ and guided by Rick Carlisle's masterclass coaching, Indiana knocked out elite teams like Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New York with teamwork and energy. Their run is compared to the 2023 Kings — scrappy, unselfish, and full of vibes.The hosts also explore Paul George's strange legacy: how his trades sparked the rise of both Finals teams. From OKC's asset-rich rebuild (including the SGA heist) to Indiana's resurgence via Sabonis and Haliburton, George's name is everywhere in this NBA story.The episode ends with bold Finals predictions: Thunder in five, maybe six—unless Sid's petty Pacers pick in six comes true. One thing's for sure: both teams represent the future of the league, and this matchup is a dream for basketball nerds.

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction idea, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels.

Back several episodes, I described the challenge of assessing candidates for a Sales Engineer position for a company that makes synchronized clocks for customers who need accurate times throughout their facilities like schools, airports, and hospitals. The company employs a rather rigorous 2-week product training program followed by a proficiency test that can end the tenure of new hires quickly. The first candidate I tested for the firm showed a 130+ IQ with a good sales personality. The company selected him and he’s doing great. Another candidate I didn’t recommend for sales showed similar intellectual prowess. While he made it through the training program, his lack of sales ability caught up with him in six months. The company uses a screening test that includes mechanical aptitude, math skills, and verbal reasoning ability. It’s timed and taken online. Until recently, I thought it had good content and face validity. My test of intellect incudes practical or tactical reasoning, conceptual or strategic aptitude, and impromptu math skill. I deliver these tests orally and the candidate has to deliver the answers orally. The practical and conceptual tests allow me to prompt or coach candidates: “Tell me more; what do you mean by that; explain further; give me another reason if you can.” On the math part, I can’t prompt but I can repeat questions as long as the candidate gets the answer within the (mostly) 60-second time limit. Since the client used a product-related aptitude test that looked pretty good, I basically had been using my test to project whether candidates can orchestrate the sales process from inception to closing the deal. My criteria had been an IQ score of 116 or the 86th percentile for the general population. I wasn’t focusing on candidates passing the two-week product training because the client’s test seemed to cover that piece. At least until recently when two candidates I recommended as adequate Sales Engineer prospects failed the training proficiency exam and were fired after the first 2.5 weeks. Both candidates passed the client’s aptitude test and scored 118 IQ’s on my test. Watch https://www.transformationtalkradio.com/watch.html

In this special mashup edition, four global voices - Ernest Azzam, Stephanie Cousins, Simon Peterson, and Anneliese Olson - join Denis Gianoutsos to explore what leadership means in a world of constant disruption, decentralization, and demand for emotional intelligence.From the rise of co-CEOs to the necessity of creating "brave spaces," these leaders reflect on what's required of today's changemakers: self-awareness, courage, and the discipline to not just start change, but to see it through.If you're leading in an environment where expectations are shifting and stability is elusive, this episode offers practical wisdom and powerful reframes to help you grow with change, not against it.EP119 - Ernest Azzam: Brave Spaces Over Safe SpacesLeadership is no longer about authority - it's about influence and convictionGreat leaders create “brave spaces,” not just safe onesSuccess is measured by how many leaders you empower, not how many report to you“Safety does not drive change.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right on your healing journey, yet the illness keeps coming back? In this powerful episode, Brandy Gillmore works with a wonderful volunteer, Melissa, to uncover the deep subconscious mind patterns that quietly block the body's ability to heal. Together, they explore how unresolved subconscious programming (along with well-meaning healing tools like meditation) can sometimes backfire, keeping people stuck in a loop of recurring illness. You'll discover why rewiring the subconscious mind is essential for lasting transformation and how linking trauma, crisis, chemotherapy, hospice, or struggle to being a “GIFT” can actually sabotage healing and reinforce illness and problems on a subconscious level. In this episode, you'll learn: Why chronic illness can return even after progress How subconscious programming creates hidden blocks to recovery The dangers of associating pain or illness with spiritual “gifts” Why going beyond meditation is often necessary for deep healing The importance of falling in love with life again—and spark real change This episode is for anyone on a path of self-healing, mind-body transformation, emotional freedom, or supporting a loved one through chronic illness. It's packed with practical wisdom, loving guidance, and the kind of aha moments that can change everything.   IMPORTANT NOTE: We understand that some may believe mind-body healing is impossible.

  On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to Bo Winegard and Noah Carl, the editors behind the online publication Aporia Magazine, founded in 2022. Winegard and Carl are both former academics. Winegard has a social psychology Ph.D. from Florida State University, and was an assistant professor at Marietta College. He was an editor at Quillette before moving to Aporia. Carl earned his Ph.D. in sociology from Oxford University. He was a research fellow at St. Edmund's College, Cambridge, before becoming a contributor to The Daily Skeptic and UnHerd, and a managing editor at Aporia. First, Razib asks Winegard and Carl about their respective cancellations, and the recent attacks on Aporia from the British media in particular. Winegard observes that many of the criticisms were muddled, as journalists struggled to get basic facts straight about who did what, as well as mixing up present associations among various editors with past ones. The two also address the change in the culture over the last few years, as cancellations seem to have lost some of their bite. Then Razib asks Winegard about the perception that Aporia is fixated on the third-rail of American culture: race and IQ, and its relevance to social policy and politics. Winegard talks about how he has long since said everything he has to say on the topic, but he still finds that the public conversation fails to address the possibility of cognitive differences between populations, and so keeps finding himself wading back in, to fill a gap in the discourse. Razib also asks the editors about their view of “cold winters theory,” which attempts to explain the higher IQs of temperate zone populations versus tropical ones. Then they discuss the disappointments of the MAGA movement, and its appeal to populist emotion. Winegard had hoped that despite its inchoate nature, it might have been able to pare back the radical excesses of the progressive cultural changes of the 2010's, but now he worries that overreach may up the chances that woke policies make a comeback with the inevitable political backlash in the next few years. Winegard also addresses his personal souring on reflexive anti-wokism, and Carl shares his own views from across the Atlantic, where Britain appears to follow in the US' footsteps, even if from an entirely different social-historical context. Winegard discusses the difficulties of maintaining a consistent heterodoxy in the face of tribalistic demands for conformity. Finally, they discuss the path forward for publications like Aporia that do not toe any particular party line.

The Timberwolves crumbled, and the Thunder reaped the benefits. Don't get it twisted...OKC is good, but Minnesota's collapse made them look more elite than they are.

Faith, Focus, and Fire: Kingston’s Code introduces 13-year-old Kingston Smith from Columbia, South Carolina, whose swagger, leadership, and high baseball IQ set him apart on and off the field. With a game rooted in discipline, driven by faith, and inspired by flashy pros like Elly De La Cruz, Kingston is building more than a highlight reel—he's crafting a personal code. Finding Baseball and Fueling Passion Kingston didn't begin with baseball—it was football that first shaped his athletic path. But once he took a swing, the game changed everything. “I really get to show my personality a lot,” he says, reflecting on how baseball allows him to be both himself and his heroes. Mimicking players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Chandler Simpson, Kingston plays with confidence and fire, adding his own flair to the field. Fast Feet and Fierce Competitiveness His speed and athleticism shine brightest in center field, where his range and instincts make him a natural. He's often a leadoff hitter, consistently reaching base with strong contact and hustle. Kingston's commitment to growth is unmatched—he wakes up at 5:45 a.m. to prep for games and recently completed speed and agility training to sharpen his edge before travel season begins. Leadership, Academics, and a Higher Purpose More than just a ballplayer, Kingston is a leader in school and sport. From organizing team workouts to tutoring classmates, he embodies accountability and mental toughness. “Even if it's not a single, I'm still putting the ball in play,” he says. His character extends into his faith-driven mission as an athlete with Underdog Athletics, a Christian sports program uplifting the next generation. A Personal Code and Powerful Influence Kingston isn't just about flash—he's built on faith, fueled by focus, and plays with fire. Whether it’s rocking the slide mitt, calling mound visits, or helping peers succeed, Kingston lives out the values he speaks. His walkout song, “Feel Me Flow” by Naughty by Nature, blends old-school flair with modern hustle, just like Kingston. Walkout Song: “Feel Me Flow” by Naughty by Nature “No matter what pitch you throw, how fast, how hard, how slow—I'm hitting it.” – Kingston Smith Internal Link: Don’t miss Softball, Superpowers, and Big Banana Ball Dreams, featuring Savanna's inspiring journey and CJ Beatty’s surprise appearance.

If you've heard anything about the study of human personality, you've probably heard about the “big five.” This is a framework that attempts to characterize human personality in terms of five broad factors or dimensions—neuroticism, extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. The big five framework has been enormously influential, generating heaps and heaps of data, and study after study on the stability of personality, on the factors that shape our personalities, on how our personalities predict success and satisfaction. But is the big five really the best we can do? What does it miss? What does it mask? Where should the science of human personality go next? My guest today is Dr. René Mõttus. René is Professor of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, and a leading researcher in the scientific study of human personality. He's also one of the hosts of the Personality Psychology Podcast. Here, René and I talk about the history and colossal success of the “big five.” We consider whether personality is ultimately rooted in our biology—and, if so, how. We dwell on each of the five factors and dig into the facets and nuances within them. These are, actually, technical terms in the field for the more granular aspects of personality that sit within each of these broad dimensions. We talk about personality change across the lifespan, and what factors seem to be driving it. We talk about personality and occupation, personality and birth order, personality and gender. Along the way, René and I touch on the Myers-Briggs; an alternative to the Big 5 known as the HEXACO model; the power of explicit questionnaires over experiments; the concept of "personality age"; the social investment theory; honesty, humility, humor, jealousy; life satisfaction; gene-environment correlations; and why evolutionary stories about personality seem to fail. Alright friends, I think you'll like this one. On to my conversation with Dr. René Mõttus.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do IQ tests measure your fixed intellect, or is there more to the equation? Despite their dark history, Michael Regilio bears good news on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1159On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:In 1927, the US Supreme Court supported forced sterilization of "feeble-minded" people based on IQ scores. Over 7,000 were sterilized in North Carolina alone. Nazi war criminals later cited American eugenics programs as inspiration.Early IQ tests asked about Edgar Allan Poe and bowling terminology. These measured cultural knowledge, not intelligence, disadvantaging anyone without specific educational or social backgrounds. This could mean the difference between becoming an officer or cannon fodder in WWI.Researcher James Robert Flynn determined that IQ scores have risen three points per decade throughout the 20th century. But contrary to claims made in the 1994 book The Bell Curve, this "Flynn effect" isn't due to evolution or genetics, but factors like better nutrition, cleaner water, smaller families, and more cognitively demanding environments.ChatGPT scores 99.9th percentile verbally but fails simple logic puzzles humans solve instantly. This demonstrates how intelligence isn't a single number — it's more like a jazz ensemble where mathematical reasoning, emotional intelligence, creativity, and street smarts all play different instruments. Trying to capture that symphony with one test is like describing a rainbow using only numbers.IQ tests aren't worthless — they're just misunderstood. Use them as diagnostic tools, not destiny predictors. Low pattern recognition score? Practice puzzles. Weak verbal reasoning? Read more complex texts. Identify specific cognitive areas to strengthen rather than accepting a single number as your limit. Your IQ isn't your written-in-stone fate — it's your starting coordinates on an infinitely expandable map of human potential.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

It's another current events discussion during evening prep. Think of it as toner, psyops, highlites, active operations, face cleanse and global events. Gossip first. Taking care of what you have. Chyna's new Covid comes with weird timing. The free drones too. Gov Cuomo sent body bags along with the patients. The DEI judge for SCOTUS. We are supposed to be helping humanity move forward. Don't envy anyone. There are a lot of operations still happening. They knew in 2020 that Remdesivir had a 50% mortality rate. People with high IQ's often struggle in life. What does it mean when geniuses tell you something. A 2019 wire tap involving five eyes. The installation of Joe Biden. Accessories make the character. Rigging the election after Ukraine was finalized. There is good and bad Mossad. Same with DARPA. Favors were called in for the country. Ron Klain enters the picture. There was a back up plan for Hunter. People's ego is often their downfall. Dunn, Dunn and Dunn. It will end up with a move to impeach 44. The FBI knew something was in the drawer. Here's how it will go on the auto pen situation. It's a step ladder to Obama and Roberts. Always give people the benefit of the doubt, because it's the righteous thing to do.

Psychologist Daniel Goleman explains how a child's brain is shaped by experience—and why teaching focus and emotional intelligence early is critical. From breathing buddies to the marshmallow test, Goleman shows how attention and self-control predict lifelong success more than IQ or background.Source: Daniel Goleman on Focus: The Secret to High Performance and FulfilmentHosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on Instagram
