She can’t eat anything all day, and she plays meditation tapes to help her “think of positive things” to calm down....

Whether it was D.J. Clue’s classics in the late 1990s and early 2000s, or some random emcee you’ve come across on Soundcloud since, we’ve all taken taken the bait and wound up prey to mixtape hype. Back in the day (well, my day, anyway), you couldn’t tell me D-Block Records prodigy and L.O.X. protege Jae Hood (who?) wasn’t going to be a legend one day. In the internet age, the same hysteria is created whenever a high school — heck, sometimes middle school — basketball star’s exploits go viral on social media, immediately drawing comparisons to one-and-done NBA studs....

The Left has been stung by special counsels before. Robert Mueller’s epic 2019 meltdown in congressional testimony was the beginning of a harsh light that exposed the deep flaws of the Russia collusion narrative.
