RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

" You Lack Values" postcard gets CFO Blaise Ignoglia's office knickers in a twist. What happened between the CFO's office receiving the card and the two officers showing up at their doorstep isn't known.

@wgntv.com did an excellent job on the segment– carefully done, not exploitative.

It's never possible to get a full picture of violent events instantly. Later interviews + video will show what happened. And, WGN house policy to protect identities is appropriate.

Most important: no charges brought.

I'm feeling better about turning down that Nobel Prize (I've simply run out of shelf space) since they didn't turn around and give it to you-know-who. What a relief.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?
