Barron Trump was a charming if slightly oddball presence at the ritzy Florida private school where he graduated earlier this year: “funny and sociable” but always held at something of a remove, a former classmate recalled to the Daily Mail.“He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining,” the friend told the tabloid. “He was also very mysterious. He never attended football games or dances. I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates.”Although the 18-year-old Trump didn’t participate in sports, attend parties, or even eat meals in the lunchroom, his...

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.
