This is some real Fatal Attraction stuff going on right now in France. Sebastien Lecornu, please blink three times if you need rescuing, or if someone needs to guard your rabbits.
French President Emmanuel Macron just can’t quit his second prime minister in less than a week – who just happens to be the same guy.
Lecornu, a 39-year-old former defense minister, tried to put himself out of his political misery about a week ago. He knocked on Macron’s door and called it quits. Macron accepted his resignation but asked if he could stick around. You know, not officially to be in a relationship as Macron’s prime minister, but to be his booty call.

Because newly surfaced Google data reveals that key players involved in the attack were being quietly tracked in the days and weeks leading up to it.
Literally zero people in the world were monitoring these people … except roughly one hundred specific, traceable IP addresses in Washington D.C. and roughly one hundred in Israel.
What they were looking for — and who — paints a chilling picture of coordination.
Names that nobody in Israel should have been interested in. One of them, Tyler Robinson — a college dropout, a complete nobody — with no political connections and no reason to be on Israel’s radar. Yet, somehow… he was.
The timing. The precision. The locations. None of it can be explained away.
You’re looking at a cover story unraveling in real time.

Some of the most common medications taken by tens of millions of Americans leave a lasting impact on the body long after a person stops taking them, according to new research.
Beta-blockers, commonly prescribed for high blood pressure and heart conditions, were linked to changes in gut bacteria that were detectable even when people had stopped taking them several years earlier, according to a new study by Estonian researchers.
The same held true for anti-anxiety medications, part of the benzodiazepine class, including Xanax and Valium. Antidepressants had similar carryover effects, as did proton pump inhibitors, medications millions take for acid reflux and heartburn.
