JonBenét Ramsey's father: Make child murder a federal crime

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

(NewsNation) — The father of JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old Colorado girl who was mysteriously killed in 1996, is determined to make sure alleged mistakes made in his daughter's investigation won't be repeated. John Ramsey told NewsNation's Elizabeth Vargas about a new mission: Make the murder of children a federal crime. “There was so much that could have been brought to bear to solve this crime. … Big egos and inexperienced, poor leadership ended up in a tragedy, frankly, for our family,” John Ramsey said. Book: DNA proves JonBenét Ramsey not killed by family Six-year-old JonBenét was found dead in the basement of her home on Dec. 26, 1996. Several hours before, her mother had called 911 to say her daughter was missing and that a ransom note was left behind. While JonBenét's death was ruled a homicide, no one was ever prosecuted. Currently, murder is a federal crime only in some circumstances, such as if a senator or federal law enforcement officer is killed. Family of gi...

Can CBD’s Effects Get “Dull” Over Time?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

View the original article about CBD Tolerance at Real Tested CBD.Tolerance is a beautiful trait to cultivate in a harmonious society. However, in the context of health supplements, the term “tolerance” has a more negative association. No matter what herb you’re using, there’s a good chance your body will get used to it after repeated uses. As you begin to build a “tolerance,” you’ll need increasingly higher doses of your supplement to achieve similar effects.Although most people talk about tolerance in relation to addictive drugs, it may also influence a person’s experience of non-intoxicating hemp cannabinoids like CBD. It doesn’t appear “CBD tolerance” is as severe as with other substances, but it’s possible.Can People Build a Tolerance to CBD Oil?Theoretically, you can develop a tolerance for any supplement, including CBD oil. Just because CBD is non-intoxicating doesn’t mean your body won’t get d...

‘They are my angels’: Escaping violence and traffickers, this Colombian family is now calling San Jose home

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

Jasbleidy Montejo and her husband were so close to their dream of finding a new beginning — and a safer world for their six-month-old daughter — in the U.S.But after the family had made it thousands of miles from their home in Colombia, violence found them again. In San Luis Rio Colorado, a border town in Mexico, a group of men ordered them off the bus they were traveling on. They shoved them in SUVs with hoods over their heads and told them they had just three days to come up with thousands of dollars — or else. Through a stroke of luck, the couple was able to secure the money with family help and made it through Arizona — and then finally to San Jose — after crossing the border by foot.A year and a half later, the loan that saved their lives is still being paid off.Sitting in a conference room at the headquarters of Amigos de Guadalupe Center for Justice and Empowerment, a San Jose-based nonprofit that links migrants to essential services like housing...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

Q: We picked up our son at San Jose Mineta Airport at 10 p.m. two days before Thanksgiving. We waited in the cellphone lot until our son texted that he was ready for us to pick him up at Terminal B.The turnoff for Terminal B was closed off and all cars were being routed all the way around the long loop past terminal A. What should have taken 10 minutes turned into 45 minutes of terrible traffic.Are they planning to do the same thing before Christmas? Isn’t there any other way to expedite dropoffs and pickups during high airport traffic times?— Lynn McCroryA: Scott Wintner, San Jose airport’s deputy director, responded to your question. He said that what you experienced was the airport’s protocol once traffic backs up at Terminal B, and the end of the loop there becomes impassable, blocking access to Terminal A and exiting to Airport Parkway.If traffic were not rerouted past Terminal A, the backup would block entrances to nearby properties and, eventually, highway o...

California is on pace to have fewest annual deaths in four years, from all causes

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

For the first year since COVID-19 upended our lives, the number of deaths from all causes is expected to fall under 300,000 in the Golden State, closer to pre-pandemic normals.The decline is primarily due to fewer COVID deaths — there have been close to 6,000 deaths from the virus so far this year, compared to over 18,000 at this time last year. To date, the virus as killed more than 104,000 Californians.Although the final tally is not yet in, the lower death projections are evidence that with effective vaccines and three years of experience and exposure, COVID has taken its place alongside flu and pneumonia as an endemic disease. But they both can still kill.From 2017 through 2019, about 270,000 people died each year from all causes in the Golden State. In 2020, the first year with COVID in the mix, annual deaths shot up to over 315,000 and grew to nearly 330,000 lives lost in 2021. Last year 310,000 deaths were reported, still 15% higher than pre-pandemic averages.Dr. Bob Wa...

Opinion: As a Gaza teen, I used to dream of college

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:34 GMT

SOUTHERN GAZA — Until two months ago, my life as a 17-year-old in Gaza was marked by the predictable anxieties and aspirations of a student applying to university. I dreamt of crossing borders to pursue a better life — of landing on my feet at an American school and, eventually, of returning to serve my community as a doctor. Education was my blueprint for escaping this city of war.Now as I huddle in a cramped, dimly lit room with 12 other women in Rafah, those dreams seem like fragments of another life. Our stomachs echo with hunger, and our throats burn with thirst. We exist in constant darkness, the world illuminated only by the flashes of missiles and the red glow of destruction.As you read this, I urge you to pause — to hear the shrill sirens and the heart-stopping booms of bombs and feel the tremors that shake our jaws.I have lived in Gaza for 17 years. But amid the ruins, I no longer recognize its streets. Where will I walk now?My family was forced to leave ...
