Ya these studies that cut down intermittent fasting always have an 8 hour eating window which is not intermittent fasting. Junk science probably sponsored by the food industry

I completely agree. Their previous book "Getting started" is also excellent. Both books are possibly the best business books ever written

Homeland security is saying "Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department, had said that Gibson has “a lengthy rap sheet (that) includes robbery, drug possession with intent to sell, possession of a deadly weapon, malicious destruction and theft.” She did not indicate if those were arrests, charges or convictions."

So the man may have still been dangerous. People who own firearms legally are the less dangerous than those who possess them illegally. Although it's not clear what type of dangerous weapon the man had.

I don't think that she deserved death. It's unfortunate that you are misrepresenting my comments. I believe that she made a series of bad decisions and was solely responsible for what occurred. I understand that we are living in emotional times but arguing in bad faith does not improve the situation. We should maybe stop this discussion as it doesn't seem that we are getting anywhere. I hope that you have a good day

It seemed like he was resisting to me because the agents were struggling to get him in handcuffs. Without a full video it is difficult to tell for sure though. The video is missing a lot of context. What happened before that video clip would make all the difference in determining whether or not he was resisting and how much force was necessary. Again I don't condone the agent kneeing the man in the head

She wasn't shot for obstructing federal agents. The series of events are as follows: 1. She obstructed federal agents 2. She resisted arrest/detainment 3. She accelerated into a federal agent 4. She was shot

Saw the video that you are referring to and it looks like the person is in fact resisting. Also I would not call that good law enforcement and don't agree with the officer doing that

Then I must have not understood your point. Could you clarify? I have been following all of this closely

Also why are the videos made to be so small? Seems like the person who made that video wants to hide the details of the situation

I have been keeping up to date on the videos coming out. The video you posted shows Renee obstructing

It would change my mind. I try to base my opinions on evidence

Most of those are shorts clips that do not show the context of the situation. These sorts of clips are what is causing people to believe the actions of federal agents are not justified when they actually are. When the initial clip of Renee Good came out people thought that the she did not drive into the agent but now that other angles have come out it is clear that she did hit the federal agent. It is always important to find the whole clip and not just propaganda clips

They may not be genetically Arab but are probably culturally Arab

How much sponsorship does it take to commit arson?

The prompt did not include the fact that Trump declared them to be terrorists which I believe is what makes that kind of attack legal. If they are enemy combatants you are allowed to follow up and ensure they have been killed

Definitely not anti-jewish slop. The article simply debunks bogus claims made by notable Jews that the pyramids were constructed by their ancestors even though the pyramids were constructed before Jews existed.

The US has no ambitions of being friendly with Iran as they are a reason to keep profits rolling in for war profiteers
