The Federalist: Scientists: Doctors Give Kids ADHD Drugs For Adults' Convenience
The U.S. medical system has seen a dramatic rise in ADHD diagnoses and stimulant prescriptions, particularly among children and adults, despite a lack of clear evidence supporting ADHD as a biological condition. Studies indicate that many children taking medications like Ritalin do not show long-term academic improvement and may experience growth issues.
Critics argue that ADHD is often misdiagnosed and that symptoms may stem from environmental factors rather than a medical disorder. The emphasis on medication over addressing underlying emotional or social issues is seen as detrimental, particularly in a school system that may not cater to boys' needs.

Fox News: Children on playgrounds targeted by drug runners with candy-colored 'trash cans': DEA agent warns

These multicolored containers have been found in cities such as Baltimore, New York, and Philadelphia, raising concerns among authorities about their appeal to young people.
The DEA warns that these capsules are not only more durable and easier to smuggle but also serve as a marketing tool for drug dealers. Reports of these capsules being discovered in playgrounds highlight the potential dangers they pose to children. The DEA has seized significant amounts of cocaine and fentanyl in recent months, emphasizing the urgency of addressing this trend.

Fox News: Bryan Kohberger defense aims to create 'illusion' with renewed bid to toss evidence: fmr. FBI agent
Bryan Kohberger's defense team is working to exclude certain evidence and create doubt about the prosecution's case in his trial for the murders of four University of Idaho students. A judge has ruled on several motions, allowing some evidence while denying others, including a request to exclude the 911 call audio.
Experts suggest the defense strategy is focused on creating an illusion of a weak prosecution case rather than proving Kohberger's innocence. The trial is set to begin on August 11.
Fox News: NC serial offender accused of mowing down teacher was in and out of 'revolving door' jail for 2 decades
Nathane Blackmon, 42, has been charged with multiple felonies, including felony death by vehicle, after a crash in January killed 67-year-old teacher Dawn Tucker and injured her adopted son. His bond is set at $5 million, reflecting his extensive criminal history over two decades.
