In #EPIDEMIOLOGY, we avoid the word "significant". First off, journal policy bans use or mention of significance testing, p values, etc. Further, to avoid confusion with the statistical sense, we have authors replace its qualitative use with terms such as marked, notable, important, or substantial.

You are getting sleepier and sleepier…
This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.
Their intentions are clear.

So, traffic is...an immigrant problem?!

How it probably happened:
Trump: I can’t make this Epstein mess go away. Even some republicans are starting to cave. Ungrateful cowards. What would they do without me and my rich friends?
Bondi: It will not come to that.
