RFK Jr. Says Studies to Find Root Cause of Autism May Be Completed by March

/0 Comments/in , /by

Studies to help determine the root cause of autism are expected to be completed around March, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said during a recent interview as his federal agency leads the effort in Making America Healthy Again (MAHA).

During an interview on The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Kennedy explained that some studies will be totally completed by September.

“And those studies will mainly be replication studies of studies that have already been done. We’re also deploying new teams of scientists, 15 groups of scientists. We’re going to send those grants out to bid within three weeks,” he explained, noting that other studies will be completed six months after September, which would be March.

“As I said, we’re going to begin to have a lot of information by September. We’re not going to stop the studies in September. We’re going to be definitive. And the more definitive you are, the more it drives public policy,” he continued.

In April Kennedy promised to get to the root of the autism epidemic, citing the stunning data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing that 1 in 31 children in the United States have autism. That reflects yet another rise in what Kennedy has described as an “epidemic.” (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says Studies to Find Root Cause of Autism May Be Completed by March” HERE)

Christian Israeli Diplomat Murdered in D.C. Hailed Trump’s ‘Legacy’ of Peace, Creating ‘More Secure’ World; The New Details About the Israeli Embassy Staffers’ Assassinations Are Horrifying

/75 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The Christian Israeli embassy staffer gunned down alongside his almost-fiancée in a terror attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum had long praised President Donald Trump’s leadership — both abroad and at home — as a blueprint for peace and strength, highlighting his refusal to start new wars and crediting him with preserving peace and making “the international system more secure” by confronting threats like Iran, China, and ISIS.

On Wednesday night, Yaron Lischinsky and his soon-to-be fiancée, Sarah Milgrim, were shot and killed by a gunman reportedly yelling “Free Palestine” before opening fire on attendees of a pro-Israel event in Washington, D.C. The killing is being investigated as a targeted act of terrorism motivated by antisemitic hatred.

President Trump said the killings, rooted in antisemitism, “must end, NOW!”

“Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA,” he added.

Lischinsky, a Christian who worked in the political department of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, had been a passionate advocate for peace through deterrence and moral clarity.

The New Details About the Israeli Embassy Staffers’ Assassinations Are Horrifying

By Townhall. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were gunned down by Elias Rodriguez at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night. It was a political assassination. The pair were also a couple, set to be engaged before being cut down by a rabid antisemite. Rodriguez chanted, “Free, free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody by police. This senseless act of violence was already heinous, but a new affidavit sheds new light on the brutality of this attack. Rodrguez fired a total of 21 shots. Ms. Milgram tried to crawl away, and Rodriguez followed and continued to shoot her. Jennifer Van Laar at RedState highlighted the key passage:

In summary, the video shows a slim build person, wearing a blue jacket with a hood, a large dark-colored backpack, blue pants, and light-colored shoes, consistent with the clothing worn by RODRIGUEZ, walking across F Street, Northwest, in the direction of the Museum and where the decedents were standing preparing to enter the crosswalk. Once RODRIGUEZ walked past the decedents and two witnesses, he turned to face their backs and brandished a firearm from the area of his waistband. RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video extending both his arms in the direction of the decedents and firing several times as indicated by the muzzle flashes.

Once the decedents fell to the ground, RODRIGUEZ is captured on the video advancing closer to the decedents, leaning over them with his arm extended, and firing several more times. As Decedent-1 attempted to crawl away from RODRIGUEZ, he followed behind her and fired again. After a brief moment, RODRIGUEZ appeared to reload his firearm. At the same time, Decedent-1 sat up. Once he reloaded, RODRIGUEZ fired several times at Decedent-1. RODRIGUEZ is then captured jogging back in the direction of 3rd Street, NW, and southbound in the direction of where the entrance to the Museum is located.

Veteran Journalist Gets Hammered for Continuing to Deny Biden’s Decline Despite Damning New Reports

/4 Comments/in , /by

A veteran journalist is getting mocked and ridiculed on social media after he continued to suggest that former President Joe Biden had not suffered mental deterioration at the end of his presidency.

The debate over Biden’s mental diminishment was sparked by a new book from Jake Tapper documenting statements from close advisers and staffers who watched his decline firsthand.

John Harwood registered his skepticism against those reports on social media in a sarcastic missive.

“Oddly, the declining 81-year-old managed to win major climate, infrastructure, and chip investments, rally allies to defend Ukraine, and hand his successor the world’s strongest post-pandemic economy,” wrote the 68-year-old.

‘Was it because, as the Original Sin authors write, ‘Biden on a day-in, day-out basis could certainly make decisions and assert wisdom and act as President’?” he added, referring to Tapper’s book co-written with Alex Thompson.

Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration’s global ambassador for all things LGBT was a travel diva with no regard for cost, who even got smacked down for “inappropriate” spending requests as she traveled on the government dime, according to a batched of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

The emails show that Jessica Stern, the Biden State Department’s Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, failed to report travel expenses on time, requested a costly car for a week in Rome, and berated staff for missing vegetarian meals on her flights as she jetted around the world pushing far-left ideology, according to a batch of emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

Stern raked in $180,000 a year as her state-sanctioned LGBT activism took her to all six habitable continents, with stops in places like Fiji and Brazil, where she traveled on the taxpayer dime to march alongside a “transvestite sl*t,” a previous Daily Wire exposé found.

Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire, obtained by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) show that Stern, who left her post after President Donald Trump’s re-election, failed to even report her travel expenses on time. The envoy, who said in her emails that she identifies with “all pronouns,” even admitted that she didn’t know where she would find her expenses after a State Department official asked for her accounting.

“We are still waiting on last year’s accounting for travel from your office … before approving further travel,” wrote a State Department official whose name is redacted in October 2022. “We have every other office except yours. I have asked several times and no one has provided. Please do so as soon as possible.” (Read more from “Biden’s LGBT Envoy Was Slammed For ‘Inappropriate’ Travel Spending, Emails Show” HERE)

Karoline Leavitt Answers If Trump Is ‘Satisfied’ With Bongino’s Assassination Attempt Explanation

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to sidestep a question Wednesday on whether President Donald Trump was “satisfied” with the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s explanation of the assassination attempts against him, refusing to elaborate after Trump said the narrative seemed “a little bit strange.”

Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese pressed Leavitt on whether Trump was “satisfied” with Bongino’s recent assertion in a Fox News interview Sunday that “the ‘there’ you’re looking for is not there” regarding questions surrounding the attempts on Trump’s life.

“Well, in the lead up to your question, you answered your own question with the president’s own words, and I’ll leave it at that,” Leavitt responded, offering no further clarification.

Trump previously told Fox News host Bret Baier that, while he trusts his team, he finds aspects of the official narrative questionable. “I’m relying on my people to tell me what it is … The Secret Service, they tell me it’s fine. But it’s a little hard to believe,” the president said. “It’s a little bit strange.” (Read more from “Karoline Leavitt Answers If Trump Is ‘Satisfied’ With Bongino’s Assassination Attempt Explanation” HERE)

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Celebrates Voluntary Dismissal on Case Involving Deported Immigrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem celebrated a court win with a rather notable post over X on Thursday night. Highlighting that she’s been dismissed from a case involving deported illegal immigrants, Noem posted “Suck it.”

The voluntary dismissal in Espinoza Escalona v. Noem came after the plaintiffs, including Maiker Espinoza Escalona was removed from the United States, thus making the lawsuit no longer relevant. The case has been dismissed without prejudice, so it could still come back.

Mario Nawfal, in sharing Noem’s post, shared some information about the case, including how leftist groups that have been defending illegal immigrants during this second Trump administration, such as the American Civili Liberties Union (ACLU), were involved.

Screenshots of Noem’s post, which is still up as of Thursday night, approximately two hours after she shared it, abound, including but not only from Nawfal.

Last month, the DHS X account also shared coverage from ABC News lamenting the plight of Espinoza Escalona and his family. The post tells a far different story from what the media covered, though.

Is This the Manifesto Written by the Shooter Who Assassinated Israeli Embassy Staffers in DC?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israeli Embassy staffers probably expected a quiet evening. They were set to attend an event for young diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night in Washington, DC. They would be cut down by gunfire by a rabid antisemite, Elias Rodriguez, who shouted, “Free Palestine,” as he was taken into custody by police.

It was a political assassination. And this might be a manifesto posted by Rodriguez before the attack (via Times of Israel):

The purported manifesto of the suspected gunman in Washington’s Jewish museum shooting posted online Wednesday night defended using “armed action” to protest what he called the “genocide” being carried out against Palestinians in Gaza.

The statement, posted on the social media platform X at exactly 10 p.m. local time, less than an hour after the shooting, was signed by Elias Rodriguez, the name of the suspect arrested by police. It could have been a scheduled post or posted by a third party; its accuracy has not been verified.

[…]

The approximately 900-word online statement mentions the high death toll in Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and references US Air Force serviceman Aaron Bushnell — who died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington in February 2024 to protest the war — as on of those who “sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre.”

The statement also expresses dissatisfaction with American support for Israel, claiming that while public opinion has shifted against the Jewish state, “the American government has simply shrugged, they’ll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they’re doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright.”

Doctors, Former Patients Warn of LASIK Eye Surgery Dangers: ‘Biggest Scam Ever Put On the American Public’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The suicide of a 26-year-old Pennsylvania police officer over the after-effects of the popular eye surgery LASIK was not an isolated incident, with others saying it left them with agonizing and life changing symptoms, patients and doctors told The Post.

LASIK providers say the procedure is 95% to 99% safe, but one LASIK survivor said she had suicidal ideations for two years after her “disastrous” surgery in 2000.

She also claimed to know of at least 40 people to have taken their own lives because they couldn’t take constant pain and vision problems, developed after the procedure.

“I really didn’t want to stick around at times, but I decided I would to get the word out about how dangerous this surgery can be,” Paula Cofer, 66, of Tampa, Fla., told The Post Wednesday.

“The LASIK lobby and the surgeons will tell you only one percent of patients have issues afterward. That’s not true. There are multiple studies that indicate otherwise.

“The percentage of those with poor outcomes are in the double digits, not one percent. And they know it,” she claimed. (Read more from “Doctors, Former Patients Warn of LASIK Eye Surgery Dangers: ‘Biggest Scam Ever Put On the American Public’” HERE)

Emergency Management Chief on Leave After Failing to Sound Sirens for Deadly Tornado: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The city of St Louis placed its emergency management chief on leave after the staffer failed to activate the tornado sirens before a deadly twister tore through the Midwestern metropolis, according to reports.

Five people were killed, dozens were injured and thousands more were impacted by the tornado last Friday that critics say was made dramatically worse by the failure of the city’s emergency manager to sound the alarm after receiving a National Weather Service alert, according to CBS News.

Sarah Russell, commissioner of the Missouri City Emergency Management Agency for St. Louis, was not at the relevant CEMA office station just before 2:30 p.m. local time when the warning was issued — but was instead at an off-site workshop, the outlet reported.

Russell was forced to call the St. Louis Fire Department, which is the only other location from which the tornado sirens can be turned on, CBS reported.

St. Louis Fire Department officials said Russell gave “ambiguous” orders and therefore they did not sound the 60 outdoor tornado sirens placed around the city, Mayor Cara Spencer revealed, according to the station.

DHS Revokes Harvard’s Ability To Enroll Foreign Students

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll all foreign students on Thursday, telling all current foreign students they must transfer schools in order to keep their visas.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem sent a letter to Harvard informing the university that its certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) had been terminated. Noem further told the school that it can no longer enroll foreign students and that all existing foreign students must transfer schools or lose their legal status.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Noem said in a press release. “It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

Harvard has been a consistent target of the Trump administration because of its “toxic campus climate,” including “permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals,” and “inaccurate” reporting of foreign funding, including from China.

“Harvard’s leadership further facilitated, and engaged in coordinated activity with the CCP, including hosting and training members of a CCP paramilitary group complicit in the Uyghur genocide,” DHS’s press release notes.
