This crap is so tired. The dems had control of the house and senate during the first half of Biden term, and for the second half retained the senate. They had no cares about Epstein during this time. As bad as they were trying to bury Trump during this time, there is no way they would not have released them while Biden was in office if it meant there was a "got him" which means one of a few things: a.) There is nothing there, b.) It is damning for a lot of people in positions of power (politicians and very rich) across the political spectrum, or c.) it would be a threat to national security...

Serious question for the release the Epstein records crowd. The Biden admin had a whole term to release them and it was crickets. If the files were so damning for conservatives, why weren't they released under the Biden admin?

It was not underreported per se. However, when the DSM-5 was published, they included other disorders under the spectrum which were not previously included on the spectrum; the most prevalent being Asperger's syndrome, but others as well. At the same time, there was also a change to the diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5. On top of that, there is increased testing over a broader population.
It's worth noting that there has been a relatively large increase in the number of young adults being diagnosed. Reportedly, this is due to increased awareness, but I don't think it's a stretch to read into that, so take it for what it's worth.

Thank you for taking the time to put his discussions in context. That is a lost art and part of the problem, pretty much all of the "hateful rhetoric" by Charlie Kirk was based on people, mostly leftist leaders and media, taking portions of what he said in a way that altered the context of what he said. I guess in a way, it helps us know who actually had seen Charlie Kirk speak, and who is just regurgitating a narrative.

Camden Yard is great, Inner Harbor is nice but touristy, and the Canton neighborhood has some nice restaurants and bars, and is my personal favorite part of Baltimore. Fells point used to be a lot of fun, but don't know how it is now. Overall, not a big fan of the city, but if I'm going, it's to one of the above areas.

 live in the FL market. Democrats threw so much money into these elections (hourly ads on every TV/Social media/radio market). The Republicans barely advertised. They didn’t need to spend the money.

I agree. I also live in the district, I do not recall seeing a single Patronis ad, and Valimont was constantly on TV. If not a commercial, then the press was talking about how much money she raised. Incidentally, she raised $6.5 million vs Patronis raising around $2 million.
I think the fact that she lives in the district kind of skewed the numbers too, because it became a talking point that Patronis does not live in the district. Nonetheless, the Republicans still won pretty handily despite a relatively low effort campaign.

Here is the take from Captain Steeeve. There is also some really good information in the comments for the video.

I can't imagine that politics is so much of someone's identity that they would abandon their family members.

I wouldn't reach out. I think you could use it as a growth moment so he realizes that sometimes we get left out, it's easy to get upset but not worth it, and there are always alternatives to hanging with the usual crowd. Then take him out and do something fun for some quality father-son time.

I use a Ninja too, and while it might not be the best out there, it brews a solid pot or cup for its price point. I'd venture to say probably better than some more expensive coffee machines.
