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.

JUST ANOTHER ATTENTION-GRABBER TO DISTRACT FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES AND WHO'S IN THEM (HINT--THE PERSON BEHIND THE COMEY AND JAMES INDICTMENTS)

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

"...career federal prosecutors in Virginia found little evidence to indicate Ms. James knowingly misled banks or was dishonest in her loan paperwork, according to people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity." NYT(JE Bromwich) 10/9

Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
