  1. Simone Biles Reveals She's Been Taking Medication for ADHD After Hackers Leak Her Rio Olympics Drug Test

    People

    Tue, Sep 13 5:45 PM PDT

    America's golden girl Simone Biles has become the victim of a Russian hacking scandal.

    The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed Tuesday that a Russian cyber espionage group, known as Fancy Bear , illegally broke into its database and obtained private medical records of American athletes through an International Olympic Committee (IOC)-created account.

    Along with Biles' health information, the hackers acquired

    Serena Williams and Venus Williams ' records as well. All three athletes were reportedly given medical exemptions to use banned drugs.

    The 19-year-old gymnast, who took home four gold medals and one bronze at the Rio Olympics , addressed the drug testing leak on Twitter Tuesday, revealing that she had been taking medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

    "I have ADHD and I have taken medicine for it since I was a kid. Please know, I believe in clean sport, have always followed the rules, and will continue to do so as fair play is critical to sport and is very important to me," Biles tweeted.

    Why exactly would Russia only want the medical records of these 3 women? Simone, Venus and Serena

  2. What Adoption Classes Didn't Teach Us About Raising Black Children

    5. Should your daughter make some big teenager mistakes like drinking and driving and then suffer the consequences of those mistakes by having a terrible car accident, she should not under any circumstances seek help. This could lead to her being shot and killed, followed by a media frenzy of people proclaiming that race was not an issue and that she deserved to die because everyone knows that all black people have drug and alcohol problems. When white teens get drunk, it is because they are appropriately rebelling, but black drinking is always gang related. People might flock to the internet to express that they wished she had died in the accident anyway. When kind, involved citizens try and comment on that same internet that nobody deserves to die like that, other commenters will tell them to go kill themselves.

    6. When white people walk into Starbucks dripping in semi-automatic weapons, the press will call it a political statement and the white people will get coffee. Do not let this fool you. If your black child so much as plays with a toy gun at Walmart, he might be shot and killed. It will so clearly be gang related because who else would have a gun out in the open in a store besides gang members? I mean, who else besides white people? Those same people at Starbucks will fight to the literal death for the right of white people to own the kinds of guns that kill all kinds of people in big batches and then jump on their soapboxes of shock and condemnation when a black person shoots another black person.

    7. Should your son have some physical challenges that make it difficult for him to run or fight back, like, say, asthma, and should he commit the teensiest tiniest infraction, he might be strangled to death by a police officer.

    8. You might have to go on anti-depressants or pay gobs of money and set aside hours and hours of time to seek therapy for yourself and your children to maintain the courage necessary to deal with all the ways your children are profiled, accused, criminalized, sexualized and demonized. White people will tell you youre over-reacting. Anonymous people online will tell you youre imagining it because we are a post-racial America. Also they will tell you to go kill yourself, which will send you back to therapy. Its the If You Give Moose a Muffin of the interracial adoption world.

    9. If your child struggles with a variety of developmental delays and differences, especially social ones, as so many children who were adopted do, your child will be seen as a criminal first, even when their behavior directly parallels that of their white counterparts, who will be offered compassion.

    10. You might lose friends, who will fear your children are carriers of disease and assume that they are criminals (the boys) and sluts (the girls), especially as they grow into their teen years, especially if they are muscular or developed. In the case of the latter, make sure your daughter covers every inch of her skin because, otherwise, she is inviting rape.

    11. Your children will learn to hate a part of themselves that they cannot change, not because its an unpleasant part of them, but because everything around them the media, music, television shows, movies, billboards, the internet, magazines, peers, teachers, doctors tells them it is, sometimes overtly and with a painful flourish and sometimes covertly, insipidly, through a series of micro-aggressions.

    12. The most heartbreaking exchange between you and your children will not be about the death of a loved one or an impending divorce or the big good-bye at college. It will be the one where you tell them that they have to act differently than their white family, friends, and peers because of racial profiling; the one where you explain that the world seems to want them to fail, despite everything they learn on MLK Day and during the month of February about the Civil Rights Movement and how it was supposed to have made everything on this list a moot point; the one where you wonder together which is worse: growing up in abject poverty but surrounded by black people, some who cant parent more children at that time, but some who accept and love you in all your blackness, or growing up in relative wealth, surrounded by white people, some who love you immensely, but some who judge and condemn you for all your blackness?http://www.scarymommy.com/raising-black-children/

  3. If you'd read the entire dialogue between Marv and I, he said black-on-black crime is a myth. I called BS. Of course it exists. And I ALSO pointed out that white-on-white crime exists. DUH, I think I put it so eloquently. Most killers Don't kill strangers as a norm. No crickets from me, I said nothing wrong.

    IDK about you, but I do my part by not committing murder. And if I happened to see anyone about to commit one, I would do my best to stop them.

    IDK why you are posting those numbers. I posted ones from the DOJ/FBI websites. Pretty much factual, from my experience.

    When do u see stats being posted when a killer is white? How many news articles are about white on white crime? When is white on white crime evry discussed on VJ? When do you hear white people are inherently killers? Both races has crime yes? But only one is referred to as black on black crime. Black on black crime is myth. One can't exist without the other and the other is never acknowledged.

  4. No ma'am, I did not leave it out. It wasn't on the site I was quoting from. Perhaps we found it on different sites, different perspectives?

    But the way I read it, the "hirelings and slaves" were trading freedom from slavery for... Slavery in service to the Brits. And they were either going to run or die. While I cannot say for sure if FSK was upset because he owned slaves and was losing them, I can actually see it being penned that way because it was the end goal of the war... Chase the opposition away or kill them.

    Again, glorifying the killing of slaves. I wouldn't want to salute this song everytime I worked either. It's not right

  5. Update:

    Clinton campaign releases doctors letter describing mild pneumonia

    By Abby Phillip September 14 at 4:51 PM

    WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Hillary Clintons campaign will release a letter from her doctor Wednesday describing her diagnosis and treatment for mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia, and will note that she received a CT scan confirming the illness and that she is now halfway through a regimen on the antibiotic Levaquin.

    The letter, from Clintons doctor, Lisa Bardack, is intended to put to rest concerns about the Democratic presidential nominees health after the illness caused her to stumble out of a memorial service Sunday and forced her off the campaign trail for days. Clintons campaign said the information would update an health history released last year but did not say exactly when the letter would be released.

    Need a letter from Trump's doctor showing his stupidity isn't contagious

  6. Why would I not like it? The verse was written to to insult the British who were fighting against the people who sought freedom from British rule. Good on them for doing so. And good on FSK for making fun of the Brits for their ways.

    Allow me to help you become more educated on the meaning behind the stanza:

    "Key, a Washington lawyer, witnessed the September 1814 Battle of Baltimore from a truce ship in the harbor, where he had been confined for the duration of the battle after negotiating for the release of an American prisoner. Key revised his initial on-the-spot draft of the song several times before publishing it as a broadside, titled The Defence of Fort McHenry. Various East Coast newspapers republished the song, which was renamed The Star-Spangled Banner by early November.

    Of the three less-familiar verses, the third is the most interesting. It taunts the British Army, referring to the invaders as the band who so vauntingly swore/that the havoc of war & the battles confusion would strip Americans of a home & a Country. By calling them a band, rather than an army, Key diminishes the status of the British forces, whose blood has washd out their foul footsteps pollution.

    Keys association of the British Army with hirelings and slaves was meant to be an insult. As historian Kevin Levin writes, the British Army liberated enslaved people in the Chesapeake region and recruited them as soldiers during the War of 1812. To Key, freemen, as he calls Americans, were to be lauded for their patriotic convictions, while slaves who enlisted to gain their personal liberation were to be disdained."

    Sounds to me like a lawyer who was proud of his fellow countrymen for their bravery and courage in repelling the British.

    You left this part out.

    "So when Key penned No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, he was taking great satisfaction in the death of slaves whod freed themselves. His perspective may have been affected by the fact he owned several slaves himself."

  7. This won't be an issue anymore.

    The Philippines would stop patrolling the South China Sea alongside the U.S. Navy, to avoid upsetting Beijing.

    And Duterte already asked US special troops to leave, don't want to buy F-16 jets anymore (waste of money).

    Instead to buy weapons from China and Russia.

    He is not a fan of the U.S. his EID speech blaming the U.S. for problems in the middle east was a clear indicator. I forsee USCs not being able to travel to the Philippines soon. And let's be clear, we've never had the best of relations with China and Russia. That's why he's aligning himself with them. Giving up the south sea is a small price to him.

  8. Blaming the country's problems on "drugs" is a scapegoat. Instead of finding real solutions to real problems, it feels good to think that drugs are the big problem and that killing the offenders will lead to good things. Easy to understand. It takes the difficulty of nation building and packages it into something easily digestible and transfers ill feelings to a unified (though misleading and dangerous) purpose.

    I still believe he is murdering people who oppose him and this killing drug dealers and offenders is a cover. My little conspiracy theory on the issue.
