Are you listening to Kim Kardashian's true crime podcast, "The System," available for free on Spotify? New episodes come out each Monday. Today's was episode #5, and there's three more coming.

You won’t read this in the Columbus Dispatch or hear it on WOSU. NBC Channel 4 misreported this story on Oct. 17, either purposefully or ignorantly by their “investigative reporter, who doesn’t’ actually investigate. But as usual, truth speaks far more loudly and clearly than either than silence or distortion.

The issue in question is important to all Ohio taxpayer, students and supporters of public higher education, and to at least some Buckeyes. This compelling matter is the tricky question of six-year university graduation rates, what drives them, and what they mean. A more complicated problem than the seemingly simple percentages appear to signify, understanding them is like peeling a piece of fruit’s layers of skin.

From a mountain peak in South Korea, Soo-wan (Go Kyung-Pyo), a businessman, plummets to his death. Did he jump, or was he pushed? When detective Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) arrives on the scene, he begins to suspect the dead man’s wife Seo-rae (Tang Wei) may know more than she initially lets on. But as he digs deeper into the investigation, Hae-joon finds himself trapped in a web of deception and desire, proving that the darkest mysteries lurk inside the human heart.

Set against a contrasting backdrop of mountains and seas, "Decision To Leave" captures the tension of a police investigation while simultaneously being focused on the changing psychology of a man and a woman. The film begins with the detective Hae-joon investigating the death of a man who fell from a mountaintop. The character is similar to the police character Martin Beck from the Swedish detective novel series.

Presidential Election in 2020

Unadjusted Exit Poll (UEP) analysis of the 2020 US Presidential and Senate elections shows the same “red-shift” pattern of Republican favoring discrepancies from Unadjusted Exit Polls (UEPs) particularly in battleground states that has prevailed in every general US Presidential election since 2004.[1]

UEPs are samples of voter responses taken after they vote in-person or by absentee ballot. These are obtained from screen shots of exit polls reported by US media right before, or soon after, polls close, and include UEP candidate vote shares and sample sizes. These differ from the exit polls that are adjusted to match official election results, or Adjusted Exit Poll (AEP) candidate vote shares and sample sizes, that are widely reported in US media.

Thursday, October 27, from 2 p.m to 3 p.m. ET
Trinity Episcopal Church, 125 E. Broad St. in Columbus  
Faith leaders from across Ohio will gather at and march to Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office at 22 N. 4th St. to hold a prayer vigil for democracy. 

The midterm election is just around the corner. As you read this, more than 900,000 Ohioans have requested absentee ballots or voted early with millions more preparing to in the days ahead. When they do, faith leaders must do everything in our power to ensure votes are cast safely and that the results determined by the people get certified. That means showing up.

Part One

Scientific misconduct charges at Ohio State University (OSU) expose systemic misconduct, indeed institutional malpractice, of the institution itself.

In 2011, Purdue University medical researcher David A Sanders, PhD, informed the Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC) and the US Office of Research Integrity (ORI) that he was accusing Dr. Carlo Croce’s lab of scientific misconduct. OSU’s ORI closed the investigation in 2015 and concluded there was no misconduct. The charges were re-opened in 2017 after an article about Dr Carlo Croce in the New York Times accused him of misconduct, again with many quotes by David A Sanders.

OSU referred the accusations to a committee known as COMIC that focused their investigation on two female researchers in the Croce lab: Drs. Garofalo and Pichiorri. They had left OSUMC in 2014 and 2016 for positions in England and Los Angeles, respectively.

To keep the general election season entertaining, the anti-DeWine PAC Homebound Entrepreneurs Against DeWines has released its final quirky political ad of the election season called “Everybody Hates Mike,” a 1950s-style jingle that takes on Governor Mike DeWine for ruling over Ohioans like a “tiny tyrant who no one likes.”

Turnstile’s sold-out Kemba Live show had me realizing that an all ages venue will start their show on time because teenagers can’t stay out late. I arrived at 7pm. Doors were at 6 pm. I placed my keys, iPhone, Beats Flex headphones, wallet in a tray and passed the metal detectors.

Despite Turnstile’s show being sold-out, the metal detector lady was ready before I had emptied my pockets.

JPG Mafia had already taken the stage in receiving a response while performing, “Jesus Forgive, I am a Thot.” JPG Mafia is a LA rapper via Baltimore.

I suppose JPG Mafia is a rapper. His music sounds like if KID 606 went short attention span Glitch-Hop with tempos in which a Death Grips fan would say: “I haven’t heard of New Kingdom or Divine Styler but someone else probably did, and I’m nodding my head.”

They sound like you removed 95 percent of the guitars from industrial music and learned rap from Miami Bass and Anti-Pop Consortium. I walked around because the venue was packed, and I did this thing where I stood in every possible corner before deciding where I was standing.

I felt bad because walking around could be distracting for fans.

There will be a Thanksgiving dinner served to the homeless teens connected to The Star House. We are looking to distribute new socks, underwear, toiletries and small $5-$10 fast food gift cards.

You may also donate monetarily to go towards the dinner and some items mentioned above. All sizes -young teens up to age 24, male and female needed. If you’re familiar with my annual Teen backpacks for Christmas program, you can drop off to my front door as you may have done before.

You can text me as well and I can pick up from you. Remember those less fortunate than ourselves and let’s see what we can do for these young people who may have no other place to go for Thanksgiving. They NEED community support.

I’m a leftist. Not a Democrat, but an actual leftist. The type that  Trump and all of the other Fascists think of when they refer to center-right “liberals” like Joe Biden. I have become so disengaged with modern politics that if either of the main political parties this nation has to offer are involved, I tune out.

They sold me out long ago. I once was struck briefly by the vision I thought Obama represented but, despite super filibuster and veto proof majorities and control of the executive branch, they did virtually nothing. I have stated aloud that I sometimes prefer Republicans to Democrats because at least they are honest and upfront in their support of the status quo oligarchy the US has become. The Dems will tell me they support things like Black Lives Matter, student loan erasure, Medicare for all, and on and on, and then sit on their hands while nothing changes for the better. Usually, it gets worse.
