Ask Amy: The good news is this video ended my wife’s embarrassing behavior

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:34 GMT

Dear Amy: From the day we met, over 40 years ago, my wife and I have been social drinkers. Get-togethers at weddings, holidays, concerts, sporting events, etc., have always featured alcohol.While I can have a couple of drinks and stop, when it comes to my wife … not so much.She will keep ordering drinks right up to 2 a.m. And while sometimes stupidly funny when we were younger, as we’ve aged the end results were becoming frequently embarrassing.I was becoming very concerned about my wife’s drinking and her health. One night when she went way over the edge, I took video of her, then showed it to her and said that I no longer wished to be a part of that lifestyle.I dumped all the alcohol in the house, and neither of us has had a drink since.I hardly miss it, and she had no trouble quitting, either, but mentally it has been very challenging for her.Alcohol was her social lubricant. Alcohol is what allowed her to get past her social anxiety and self-esteem issues. Now she either d...

Análisis | CNN enfrenta duras críticas después de que Trump desatara una andanada de mentiras durante foro en vivo

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:31:34 GMT

(CNN) — Es difícil ver cómo Estados Unidos se benefició del espectáculo de mentiras que se transmitió en CNN este miércoles por la noche.Kaitlan Collins es una entrevistadora dura y conocedora. Ella le hizo verificación de los hechos a Trump durante los 70 minutos del foro en vivo. Una y otra vez le dijo a Trump que la elección no fue robada. Que no estaba amañada. Que no había evidencia de las mentiras que estaba diseminando en el escenario.“La elección no fue manipulada, señor presidente”, le dijo Collins a Trump en un momento del evento. “No puede seguir diciendo eso toda la noche”.Sin embargo, Trump lo hizo. Con frecuencia el expresidente ignoró o interrumpió a Collins durante toda la noche mientras desataba una andanada de desinformación sobre el país, que es en lo que una gran parte del Partido Republicano sigue creyendo. Trump, una máquina de mentiras profesional, disparó falsedades a un ritmo rápido mientras usaba su bravuconería para abrumar a Collins, rob...
