If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

The issue at the heart of the French protests? Debt. France is spending way more than it’s taking in. It can’t print more money (bc it uses the euro) and trying to cut spending is causing massive upheaval. Debt is plaguing countries all over the world—we may see more moments like these in 2027. 🇫🇷

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad might end up being the worst own goal we've seen in a major race. Platforming the estranged mother of your opponent to attack her, only for everyone to discover that the mother protected the rapist of her 12-year-old daughter and stayed married to him, is beyond despicable.
