That's what Swiss voters did Sunday when they robustly rejected a proposed inheritance tax. More than 80 percent of Swiss voters rebuffed a referendum that would impose a 50 percent inheritance and gift tax on assets above 50 million Swiss francs, or about $62 million.

"It just felt good " just if there are any [worms or parasites], then I hope that they were leaving the body, because I hear so many people talk about this all the time," she added. Klum, 52, shared she was thankful that Kaulitz, 36, joined her for the cleanse, saying, "It's easier to do this with a partner in the morning because you have to drink this weird stuff." "It's all herbal, but nonetheless it's yucky and you have to do this routine of doing it every day in order to kill it in all of the eggs, apparently," she explained. "You have to do two rounds instead of two weeks. We did two rounds in order to hopefully kill eggs and things....

16+ min ago (188+ words) The madman accused of shooting two National Guard troops in Washington, DC, last week was likely "radicalized" after he came to the US, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem revealed. Afghan Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, who previously worked on one of the CIA's "Zero Units" in Afghanistan before being allowed into the US in 2021, was arrested last Wednesday for the shooting rampage, which killed one National Guard troop and critically wounded another. "I will say we believe he was radicalized since he's been here in this country," Noem told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "We do believe it was through connections in his home community and state, and we're going to continue to talk to those who interacted with him." "So far we've had some participation," she added. "We will never allow this to continue to happen in our country, allow…...
