Ex-Uvalde Police Chief Indicted

Former Uvalde school district police chief Pedro Arredondo has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of child abandonment or endangerment for his role in the botched police response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School mass shooting.

The indictment criticizes Arredondo’s decision to negotiate with the shooter instead of immediately confronting him, and for failing to establish a command center, leading to confusion among the responding officers.

School police officer Adrian Gonzales has also been indicted on 29 counts of child endangerment, one for each child killed or injured in the shooting.

Texas Upholds Ban on Sex Changes for Minors

The Texas Supreme Court upheld the state’s ban on transition-related treatment for children, with an 8-1 ruling that maintains restrictions on hormone therapies, puberty blockers, and gender-change surgeries for minors, while including exemptions for non-transgender children with certain medical conditions.

The court ruled that the Legislature acted within its authority to regulate medical practices. Justice Debra Lehrmann was the lone dissenting vote.

Texas is the largest state with such a ban.

The White House Goes Up for Sale

A mansion dubbed the White House of Dallas is on the market for $40 million. Photos make clear why the mansion received its nickname, but it can also be attributed to the fact that former President George W. Bush once called it home.

The most recent owner is Toby Neugebauer, who used it as the base for his now-bankrupt startup GloriFi.

Architect Robbie Fusch designed the mansion built in 1996. The property boasts formal gardens, a two-level pool, and a tennis court among its lavish features, along with six bedrooms and seven full and four partial bathrooms.

If you think digestive issues like bloating, constipation or GERD are caused by what you eat… think again!

A recent abdominal ultrasound from the University of Michigan Medical School has shown that digestive problems are caused by something deemed as the “gut-piranha”.

Once installed comfortably in your gut, this microscopic blue parasite will start devouring your stomach lining.

Since your stool can’t “slide” normally anymore, parts of it get stuck one over the other until they pile up and clog your intestines. In turn, this will cause all sorts of digestive issues and weight gain.

So, if you’re dealing with indigestion or diarrhea, no matter if this happens often or just a couple of times per month…

There is now clear proof that more and more Americans have this “blue gut-piranha” in their gut.
