How to talk to your kids about what’s going on in IranShare via Close extra sharing options Email Facebook X LinkedIn Threads Reddit WhatsApp Copy Link URL Copied! PrintAs war with Iran escalates, parents may be struggling to decide whether they should talk to their children about the events unfolding. It can be tough to figure out how much a child should know if at all. Behavioral pediatricians shared why it may be good for parents to talk with their children about the war and what they should consider when approaching the conversation. “The idea is to let them know you are a safe person and a person who will help them understand things they wish to understand.”

“The Daily Show” host Michael Kosta on Tuesday noted the striking similarity between Donald Trump supporters’ reluctance to call the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran a war and the rhetoric used by Russia when it launched its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which is still ongoing. Kosta aired a montage of Trump allies arguing the Iran war is not actually a war and said: “Guys, you can call it whatever you want. We all know it’s a war.”“By the way, this all seems a little familiar. Advertisement Advertisement“We don’t need Trump copying more **** Putin does. It’s a slippery slope that could lead to the worst possible scenario: Trump going shirtless,” he added, before showing a mocked-up image of Trump topless on a horse ― which drew groans from the audience.

Kit Harington in character as Jon Snow in Game Of Thrones HBOOne final chapter in the Game Of Thrones saga is coming to our screens – this time in the form of a feature-length film. Game Of Thrones came to an end in 2019, with a dramatic turn of events that saw Jon Snow offing Daenerys Targaryen, and Sansa Stark being crowned Queen of the North. The series was notable in that it vastly differed tonally from other adaptations set in the Game Of Thrones universe, with much more emphasis on comedy than fans are probably used to – which split critics down the middle. AdvertisementA spin-off centred around the hero Jon Snow was also heavily rumoured to be in the works, but this project was eventually shelved when Kit Harington pulled out. Game Of Thrones, House Of The Dragon and A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms are all streaming on Now and Sky in the UK.

Today we look at one of the Cubs’ camp arms, who might, MIGHT have a shot at the MLB bullpen. He’s pitched a total of six innings for the Cubs during the regular season, resulting in a 9.00 ERA, 7 strikeouts, and a 1.67 WHIP. In his MLB career, he’s pitched to a 4.85 ERA in 10 games, with one save, one hold, 9.1 innings pitched, 15 strikeouts, and 6 bases on balls. Other than his cups of coffee with the Yankees and Cubs, that’s pretty much a career retrospective. Some projection systems have him reaching The Show this year, pitching in a few games, following the line of his career statistics.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday, setting up yet another clash between House Republicans and the White House over convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “For months, Attorney General Bondi has been instrumental in orchestrating the White House’s cover-up of the Epstein files, and has failed to comply with our bipartisan subpoena for the release of the complete, unredacted files. The Epstein Files Transparency Act required that all of the Justice Department’s Epstein files be publicly released by Dec. 19. Last month, Bondi touted the Justice Department’s efforts to comply with the law during an appearance before the House Judiciary Committee. “Pam Bondi has a direct hand in the cover-up of the Epstein files, the most egregious cover-up in American history,” Ansari said.

The medicine remains in a warehouse while children in Gaza continue to die because they can’t get basic treatments. Israel is estimated to have destroyed or demolished more than 80% of the buildings in the Gaza Strip by last fall, creating wastelands of rubble. Life for Palestinians in Gaza constricted even further last October when Israel agreed to the Trump-imposed ceasefire that left Israel in control of 53% of the enclave. Israel has also refused to allow the 600 daily truck deliveries of humanitarian aid that it agreed during ceasefire negotiations would be able to enter the Gaza Strip. What will become of the 5.6 million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip?

“Why were state law enforcement officers excluded?” U.S. District Judge Christina A. Snyder wanted to know. It applied to everyone else, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. — Bridget Lavender, staff attorney at the State Democracy Research InitiativeLegally, the mask ban was always going to be a cat fight. The mask ban would be on the same track now, if not for the state police exemption. Law enforcement objections shaped the changes the governor’s legislative office sought just days before the Sept. 5 amendment deadline, according to a stakeholder involved in those discussions.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday voted to subpoena U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department’s failure to make public its records related to sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. The committee voted 24-19 on the resolution by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), with five Republicans and all Democrats in support. AdvertisementShortly before the vote, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) made a half-hearted effort to persuade his colleagues to oppose Mace’s motion for a subpoena. During a hearing with the House Judiciary Committee last month, Bondi mostly insulted lawmakers instead of answering their questions. “I don’t expect to be talking about the stock market, so she better not bring those notes when she comes to the Oversight Committee,” Mace said.

Novato is one of the Northern California communities that have seen high concentrations of human metapneumovirus, or HMPV, detected in local wastewater. A respiratory virus that doesn’t have a vaccine or a specific treatment regimen is spreading in some parts of California — but there’s no need to sound the alarm just yet, public health officials say. AdvertisementHMPV has also been detected in L.A. County, though at levels considered low to moderate at this point, data show. However, as was the case with many respiratory viruses, COVID disrupted that seasonal trend. Before the pandemic hit in 2020, Americans were regularly exposed to seasonal viruses like HMPV and developed a degree of natural immunity, August said.

What we know for sure is that the Middle East is now in a regional war with no end in sight. Trump has refused to rule out U.S. troops on the ground and has said operations could last four to five weeks. AdvertisementIf the U.S. is merely trying to weaken Iran’s military power, this can certainly be done in the short term, as the Iranians are learning. Just as it did after last summer’s 12-day war, Iran will inevitably rebuild its military capacity once the U.S. concludes its air campaign. In June, Trump agreed to support Israel’s war against Iran even though U.S. negotiators were scheduled to continue talks days later.
