This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 4 WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in Congress who are relying on Donald Trump to excite voters in the fall elections are not only defending the former president against the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home but politically capitalizing on it with grave and potentially dangerous rhetoric against the nation’s justice system. The party that once stood staunchly for law-and-order has dramatically reversed course, stirring up opposition to the FBI and tapping into political grievances and far-right conspiracies that fed the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. It's all part of the GOP’s election year strategy to harness voter outrage over the unprecedented search, quickly and unequivocally set in motion as Trump hosted a dozen Republicans for dinner of steak and scallops at his private Bedminster club the day after the FBI action. One Republican at the table, Rep. Troy … [Read more...] about GOP backs Trump, escalates dark rhetoric after FBI search

Planning a Disneyland trip is an exercise in strategy — especially now, given the ubiquity of Genie Plus — and in trying to get the best possible experience for the least amount of money . Nowhere is that more true than in finding the best parking at Disneyland, and the least expensive parking lots near the parks — which, as you might expect, aren’t the easiest to come by. But there are definitely tricks for finding affordable spots, if you know where to look. When Disneyland reopened in April 2021, not everything came back all at once (and some things didn’t come back at all). One of the biggest pain points for guests was that the park did not reinstate the trams from the Mickey and Friends and Pixar Pals parking garages, leaving people to walk the three-quarter mile pathway to and from the park. At the same time, the cost of parking increased from $25 to $30. While those trams are back in operation as of February, parking is still one of the most hotly debated topics … [Read more...] about How to score the best Disneyland parking for your next visit

More info According to data NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), there are around 100,000 strokes every year in the UK. Of this 100,000 just over a third, 38,000, will be fatal; this makes it one of the leading causes of death and disability in the UK. Meanwhile, in the US, stroke is also an issue.

While medications can be used to reduce the risk of stroke, sometimes factors for stroke can be present outside of the pharmaceutical sphere.
