Former criminal Abby Lunay was hired to find a missing person, but there’s a dead detective, a haunted courtyard, and a particularly unhappy cop in her way. She’ll have to solve it all without ending up in jail herself.

So, let me see if I have this right...
1. Pharmaceutical companies donated $4 million to Trump’s inauguration committee.
2. The US left the WHO.
3. A large number of new pharmaceutical products have recently been (or about to be) approved by the US gov't.
I'm sure this is just a coincidence...

It's annoying when people stereotype an entire generation.
I'm part of "Gen-X" so according to the stereotype, I'm a cynical, sarcastic slacker who prefers irony over sincerity which makes me lean towards apathy and nihilism.
Okay, sure most of it is true, but I'm not a slacker. 😜

Abby Lunay is just like Sherlock Holmes, aside from her gender, experience, age, location, name, lack of adherence to logic, ok, maybe she's *nothing* like Holmes, but there's a murder to solve, and she's on it. The Hopeless Cases: Douglas Adams meets Agatha Christie.

There's a rumour going around saying the ghost of Abraham Lincoln was present during a screening of "Melania" and the one patron there heard a spectral voice saying "It took 150 years, but now this is my worst theatre experience".

An online American friend told me her car was broken into and the vandals left four tickets to the 'Melania' movie on the front seat. How low will these criminals go?

Trump: We have to own Greenland. It's vital to our national security.
Results: Markets tank, Europe won't ratify US trade deals, Trump fails to own Greenland, Denmark maintains control, existing US bases/mineral rights are unchanged from 1951 agreement.
Trumpers: The art of the deal!

PM Mark Carney telling the world's middle powers that it's time to band together away from the major powers, adding "if you're not at the table, you'll be on the menu" was excellent. Someone finally said the quiet part out loud and I hope it wakes up the rest of the world.

My ten year old niece grew up thinking Donald Trump was the Son of God because every time he was on TV I’d whisper, “Jesus Christ.”

This seems sensible enough.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM!
However
Measles can cause encephalitis and brain damage.
Chickenpox can lead to permanent scars.
Meningitis has long term consequences like seizures and motor function disorders.
Polio can cause respiratory paralysis.

Vaccines are SAFE and prevent life long misery.
No, Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism—Here’s the Proof Parents Need to See
Countless studies have shown no link between vaccines and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. But some parents still hold onto that belief.

Dr. Oz said a weight loss drug could help Americans lose 131 billion pounds by next year. Okay, let's fact-check. 131 billion pounds / 300 million Americans = 436.7 meaning every man, woman, child needs to lose 436.7 pounds for this to be true. Nope. I call BS.
