(NEXSTAR) — Yet another new, unsafe trend is catching attention.
This time, some TikTok users are encouraging viewers to add borax to their water, claiming the common cleaning product can help reduce inflammation and joint pain, or even “detoxify” the body. As you may have guessed, health officials are warning of the consequences the trend could have on your health.
Stolen Land you say?
We don’t have a ton of detail about what led up to a shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday of this week, but we do know that Raleigh police have declined to arrest the woman who shot a man in the parking lot of a Food Lion grocery store after determining she was acting in self-defense.
According to police, 49-year-old Steven McLamb is accused of tugging on a woman’s car door handle Tuesday after following her to the store at 7713 Lead Mine Road.
He reportedly became aggressive as they were driving, and the woman shot McLamb in self defense.
McLamb died from his injuries in the hospital.
Raleigh police Maj. Brian Harrison said that authorities do not plan to file charges unless new evidence becomes available.
Defense Attorney Lee Turner said McLamb contributed to the incident.
“It’s obvious this individual contributed to what occurred to him that day by his own actions,” Turner said.

Trump’s surreal arraignment day
in Washington augurs ominous days aheadThat’s the headline on an “analysis” by CNN reporter Stephen Collinson, and this might be the first time I’ve ever the verb “augur” used in a headline. “Portend,” maybe, but “augur”? No, can’t recall ever seeing that one, and it might help to know that Collinson is not American. He’s from England, where I suppose schoolboys at posh academies are taught to use references to the ancient Roman practice of augury, but I digress . . .
As former President Donald Trump left Washington after answering charges of trying to subvert democracy, it felt like all the previous trauma and divisions of his eight-year journey into the nation’s psyche were just the start.
America now faces the prospect of an ex-president repeatedly going on trial in an election year in which he’s the Republican front-runner and is promising a new White House term of retribution. He is responding with the same kind of extreme rhetoric that injected fury into his political base and erupted into violence after the last election. Ominous and tense days may be ahead.
Trump spent the afternoon at a federal courthouse within sight of the US Capitol that was ransacked by his supporters on January 6, 2021. He pleaded not guilty in the gravest of the three cases in which he has so far been indicted – on four charges arising from an alleged attempt to halt the “collecting, counting and certifying” of votes after the 2020 election.
