During their first date, Leslie Reeves and Chris Smith were shot, with only Smith surviving. Smith was found in his Illinois home with a bullet in his brain and was placed in a medically induced coma after brain surgery. Pieces of the bullet are still in his brain, as removing them could cause further harm. Smith recovered and can now move his left leg from his knee up, although he has no recollections from the night of the shooting. Now he is back singing with his rock band and is engaged to his fiancée, despite his neurosurgeon saying he may never be able to walk again.

“My juror”: Trump believed a loyalist on the jury could save him, until the very end.
Personal insights and opinions come flooding in as I dive into the incredibly perplexing situation surrounding Donald Trump and his undying belief in the power of loyalty.

In the latest twist of events involving the ex-president, it seems that Trump is once again throwing a tantrum over the legal system working as it should. Trump’s complaint that he can’t reject ‘unlimited’ jurors in the New York hush money trial only goes to show his complete lack of understanding of how the law functions. For someone who has spent a considerable amount of time navigating the legal system, one would think he would have a basic grasp of the rules.
The fact that jurors are being dismissed for even the slightest indication of bias, whether it be expressing negative sentiments towards Trump on social media or celebrating Joe Biden’s election victory, shows that the process is being conducted fairly.… Continue reading
Long COVID Seems to Be a Brain Injury, Scientists Discover
As I sit here reflecting on my own experience with long COVID, I can’t help but think back to what my doctor told me during the early days of the pandemic.

It seemed that even then, scientists suspected that COVID-19 had the potential to cause brain damage.
And now, it appears that these suspicions were correct. Scientists have discovered that long COVID is, in fact, a brain injury.… Continue reading
