Just recently the owner of the Indianan Colts passed away. Some claim it was from drug addictions. In the article it states "The FBI is investigating the death of Jim Irsay, the former owner of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, as well as the recovery doctor who provided him with prescription pain pills and ketamine in the final months of his life, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and two people with knowledge of the investigation.

A federal grand jury subpoena, reviewed by The Post, shows the agency is seeking records and information relating to Irsay’s death, his “substance (illegal and prescription) use,” and his “relationship with Dr. Harry Haroutunian,” a prominent addiction specialist based in California."

Two-thirds of the US population is facing down a monster winter storm and extreme cold. The storm’s snow and ice will stretch over 2,000 miles from Texas to New England as it tracks east through the weekend. More than half of all Americans will experience subzero wind chills in the next week. The extreme cold will lock snow and ice in place and leave those without power for days. At least 12 states have issued a state of emergency to help free up and mobilize resources to respond to and prepare for the storm now that Kentucky and New York have joined the fray Friday morning.

There are four astronauts begin a historic trip around the moon as soon as February 6, they’ll climb aboard NASA’s 16.5-foot-wide Orion spacecraft with the understanding that it has a known flaw — one that has some experts urging the space agency not to fly the mission with humans on board. But NASA remains confident it has a handle on the problem and the vehicle can bring the crew home safely. The issue relates to a special coating applied to the bottom part of the spacecraft, called the heat shield. It’s a crucial piece of hardware designed to protect the astronauts from extreme temperatures as they’re descending back to Earth during the final stretch of their moon mission. And while NASA is poised to clear the heat shield for flight, even those who believe the mission is safe acknowledge there is unknown risk involved.

For over 60 years of doctors recommending vitamin K shots to new born babies. This is to prevent severe bleeding in babies. Now more parents than ever before are refusing the vitamin K. Without the shot babies are 80 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. Vitamin K is needed to help clot blood but babies are born with very small amounts of vitamin K. With parents now refusing the shot or questioning its purpose, lots of babies are at risk for server bleeding. Its a supplement, not a vaccine that is perfectly safe for babies to have. Lots of doctors are now seeing more babies with vitamin K deficiencies as the number of parents refusing the shot increases.

Trump's desire for what he at the time called "essentially a large real estate deal" threw a wrench in the works of a planned state visit by the president to Denmark. The president ultimately cancelled the trip, saying the Danish Prime Minister had shown no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland. Greenland is a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. Trump's second term has seen the president double down on his ambition to acquire the minerals-rich island despite Danish and Greenlandic politicians repeatedly rebuffing him. Trump has suggested that U.S. sovereignty over Greenland is necessary to ensure American security and blunt Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic region. A 1951 defense agreement already grants the U.S. military access to Greenland, but Trump has suggested the accord is inadequate and has demanded ownership.
