In a shock to no one, Trump cracks down on crime in DC, and crime goes way down
Our take: This isn’t rocket science people. Criminals stop committing crimes when they are arrested and put in jail for committing said crimes. People have been wringing their hands and pulling out their hair trying to figure out how to stop crime. It’s not more complicated than what Trump is doing in Washington, DC. Maybe we should do this all over the country…

MSNBC rebrands to MS Now, whole world immediately makes it the butt of all jokes
Our take: MSNBC is exactly like Bruce Willis’ character in The Sixth Sense. They have been dead for a long time but don’t know it. Their ridiculous and sublimely terrible attempt to rebrand the channel was met with universal derision and mockery.
The internet had a field day with it. Some of our favorites: “Sounds like a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis.” “I spy a consultant’s costly recommendation.” “Mrs. Now? It’s Ms. Now.”
These guys just don’t get it. They need to get rid of all their condescending, hyper-woke, insufferable hosts and start over as some kind of news channel. At least they need to hire people who don’t want to make you lay down in traffic when they open their mouth.

Rhode Island assistant AG tells cops “they will regret this” when arresting her for refusing to leave restaurant after she was trespassed
Our take: If you ever find yourself in a situation where you ask some version of the question “Do you know who I am? ” or make the statement “You will regret this,” don’t do it. The next time it turns out well will be the first.
An assistant AG in Rhode Island has learned this lesson the hard way. After a night of drinking at a restaurant, she wore out her welcome and was asked to leave. She refused. The police were called. When they asked her to leave, she launched into attorney mode, claiming she knew their protocol because “she was an AG.” The police literally said, “Good for you. I don’t give a shit.” After repeating her statement over 10 times and refusing to leave, the police arrested her.
Now that she has sobered up, the consequences have come for her. The video of her boorish behavior has gone viral. Her boss, the actual AG of Rhode Island, has condemned her behavior, said she needed to (and was in the process of) apologize to the police, and would be taking some time off without pay once the dust settles. We hope she had a good time that night—it’s turning into an expensive date!

Tip of the day
Intense emotions aren’t all bad.
“Emotions make our lives exciting, unique, and vibrant,” Botnick says. “Strong feelings can signify that we embrace life fully, that we’re not repressing our natural reactions.”
It’s perfectly normal to experience some emotional overwhelm on occasion — when something wonderful happens, when something terrible happens, when you feel like you’ve missed out.
So, how do you know when there’s a problem?
Emotions that regularly get out of hand might lead to:
relationship or friendship conflict
difficulty relating to others
trouble at work or school
an urge to use substances to help manage your emotions
physical or emotional outbursts
Find some time to take stock of just how your uncontrolled emotions are affecting your day-to-day life. This will make it easier to identify problem areas (and to track your success).
