Here are today’s “5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW”
1. The U.S. House of Representatives voted 352-65 yesterday to ban TikTok in the United States unless its China-based parent company, Bytedance, divests the popular U.S. business video social network within six months. The bill’s prospects in the Senate are unclear, although President Joe Biden has said he would sign the bill if it passes.
2. The Wichita Police Department has launched a new training program used by more than 300 law enforcement agencies across the country. The program is called ABLE, for Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement. The training provided through the program gives officers the knowledge and skills to intervene in situations where their colleagues may engage in inappropriate or potentially dangerous behavior.

3. Dollar Tree announced its closure 600 Family Dollar stores this year, and 370 Family Dollar stores and 30 Dollar Tree stores in the coming years, after posting losses in the fourth quarter
4. It’s March 14, also known as Pie Day. Thanks to Google, we know each state’s favorite pies. In Kansas, the most Googled pie is cream pie, if you were to move to Texas their favorite is chicken pot pie, but the one that really has me curious is Tennessee’s favorite, Kool Aid Pie.
5. Chuck Norris is clearly “Benjamin Button.” The actor and martial arts master turned 84 yesterday and posted a boxing video claiming he is 48. The best part of the post is the comments section and is worth spending some time to reading as the internet did not disappoint. For example:
Chuck Norris wears boxing gloves to protect the bag, not his hands.
Chuck Norris threw a grenade at a group of enemies, killed 86 guys with it. Then it exploded
and my favorite….
Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim on land
and IT’S TRENDY
