Of course there are pages under the RFK thread, but I chose this one. So, I said it all. .

CDC Changes Webpage to Say Vaccines May Cause Autism, Revising Prior Language A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously made the case that vaccines don’t cause autism now says they might. The revised webpage says: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” The new text posted Wednesday also notes that the Department of Health and Human Services has launched “a comprehensive assessment” to probe the causes of autism. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/diseases-and-conditions/cdc-changes-webpage-to-say-vaccines-may-cause-autism-revising-prior-language/ar-AA1QMBkF

IT’S WHO THEY ARE. IT’S WHAT THEY DO: The Party of Intolerance on Full Display of Late. Tolerance, we've been told, is a virtue. We should be tolerant of anyone and everything. If people want to castrate their children because they claim little Timmy "identifies" as a little girl, despite only being 10, we're supposed to be tolerant. We're supposed to celebrate it, even. The Left has preached tolerance for generations now. They've demanded we put aside our own principles time and again, accept that people are going to do things we find morally repugnant, and we shouldn't just shut up about it but praise it. Yet it's funny because of just how intolerant the Left is. All around us, we've seen examples of how the party of tolerance is intolerant toward anyone who disagrees. This is without getting into the assassination of Charlie Kirk or the leftist nutbars that celebrated it. My question is: how can we connect with these people in a way that would bring us back from the edge of a potential civil war? They can't handle an actress not being a rabid leftist. They can't handle someone who decided a secure border and less woke from the White House would be a good thing. They freaking killed a guy who had the nerve to want to talk to people. How can you find a middle ground with people who only have their middle fingers? The party of tolerance is tolerant of anything and everything they agree with and are ready to burn people at the stake for refusing to toe the line. Nothing has changed in years upon years. Nothing is likely to change, either, and instead of bridging the gap, even between friends and coworkers, we're just seeing more division. It's not even a case of civil disagreement; it's purging everyone out of your life for refusing to spout utter nonsense masquerading as a political ideology. The party of intolerance is just as it's always been. They're just showing their stripes far more often these days, it seems. https://townhall.com/columnists/tomknighton/2025/11/18/the-party-of-intolerance-n2666616

Hochul’s colossal $113M gift to far-left groups shows she’s just ‘another Defund the Police Democrat’ by Miranda Divine Gov. Hochul has spent $66 million of taxpayer money on grants to radical left-wing groups that conduct overt political operations to defund the police, close prisons, abolish ICE, decriminalize prostitution, promote open borders, target minors with transgender ideology, promote anti-Israel extremism, impose crippling climate mandates on new housing — and increase taxation to pay for it all. An examination of 13,000 grants since Hochul took office in 2021 shows a massive investment in far-left causes, with $66 million paid so far and almost $50 million promised for a total contract value of $113 million. “Our tax dollars should go towards fighting criminals, not helping them,” says Rep. Elise Stefanik, https://nypost.com/2025/11/19/opinion/miranda-devine-hochuls-colossal-113m-gift-to-far-left-groups-shows-shes-just-another-defund-the-police-dem/

Well then, time for a 💩storm to get this news off the front page.

Scott Jennings Makes the Most Scott Jennings Face EVER As CNN Panelist Makes Epstein Files About Racism One of the most endearing things about Scott Jennings is the faces he makes while he listens to stupid people say stupid things. Ok, so it's probably NOT endearing for people on the Left who believe the stupid people he's mocking but still ... You can literally turn the volume down and just by watching Jennings' face, you can tell when something exceptionally embarrassing and ignorant is being said. Which is basically every night on CNN. Case in point, this back and forth about Epstein, Trump ... and racism. No, really. Watch: https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/11/19/cnn-panelist-calls-scott-jennings-racist-for-talking-about-iq-n2421856

Department of Education Stripped of Power in a Continued Effort to Dismantle the Failed Agency It's a difficult task to name a government agency that functions well. Efficiency isn't something that's in the federal government's wheelhouse. It's even harder to name an agency that's performed more poorly than the Department of Education. Conceived by Carter and created by Congress, the department began operating at a time when public education in the United States was among the best in the world. In the years since the forced bureaucracy of federal intervention, our public education system has worsened consistently. While American students' counterparts in places like Japan are learning multiple languages and practicing calculus by middle school, American kids, especially in big-city school districts, are lucky if they can read their diplomas when they graduate. Carter created the DoE to bring equal education to all. The DoE achieved that goal by bringing everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Time may finally be running out on Carter's big mistake, and that time can't come soon enough. The interagency agreement, led by Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, will shift current DoE responsibilities and services among the departments of State, Labor, Health and Human Services, and Interior. The move effectively reduces the size, scope, and influence of the DoE without requiring congressional approval. https://twitchy.com/eric-v/2025/11/19/department-of-education-stripped-of-power-n2421846

The Democrats' Epstein Files Narrative Is Already Imploding Matt Vespa President Trump had nothing to hide, and he also knows that his team can easily swat away any attacks lobbed by Democrats over the Epstein Files. They’ve done so before. With Congress pushing through a bill releasing all the files yesterday, some on the Hill are already off to the races and have smashed into a wall, too. It’s imploding, not least because Democrats are named. It’s as if Democrats didn’t think this vote would ever come; therefore, they had a cash cow regarding fundraising. That’s gone now. The dog has bitten the car, and they don’t know what to do. If it’s not that, they’re accusing the wrong people of being too cozy with the dead and disgraced New York financier. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/11/19/the-dems-epstein-files-narrative-is-already-imploding-n2666663

SCOTUS Must Stop Mail-In Voting Madness. One of the suppurating sores that still bedevil our body politic in the aftermath of COVID-19 is the ongoing abuse of mail-in voting. Absentee ballots have long been available to a small number of voters, of course. But, during the pandemic, many states used public safety as a pretext to dramatically expand eligibility for mail-in voting and to extend the deadlines for receiving these ballots. Now, at least 30 states continue to count such votes long after Election Day has come and gone. This inevitably creates concerns about election integrity. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before the U.S. Supreme Court would be required to decide if post-election vote counting violates federal law. This is why the Court quietly added Watson v. Republican National Committee to its docket last week. In 2020, Mississippi passed “emergency” legislation requiring election officials to accept absentee ballots “postmarked on or before the date of the election and received by the registrar no more than five (5) business days after the election.” Long after the pandemic had ended, Mississippi inexplicably made that post-election deadline permanent. Thus, in 2024, the RNC and the Mississippi Republican Party went to federal court to challenge the statute. The U.S. district court judge ruled against them. The RNC subsequently won, however, in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Mississippi appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to take up the case. https://spectator.org/scotus-must-stop-mail-in-voting-madness/ We’re an international laughingstock, unable to tally our own election results while blue staters magically find whatever ballots they need, taking as long as they like.

Saudi Crown Prince Pledges to Raise U.S. Investment to Nearly $1 Trillion by Nick Gilbertson Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told President Donald Trump on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia will be upping its investment commitment in the U.S. to nearly $1 trillion, up from the $600 billion pledged in May. Trump received the crown prince on the South Lawn with plenty of pomp, culminating in three F-35s and three F-15s flying over the White House. After giving the crown prince a tour of the “Presidential Walk of Fame” along the West Wing colonnade and a photo opportunity, they held a bilateral meeting before reporters in the Oval Office. After giving the crown prince a tour of the “Presidential Walk of Fame” along the West Wing colonnade and a photo opportunity, they held a bilateral meeting before reporters in the Oval Office. “I believe, Mr. President, today and tomorrow, we’re going to announce that we are going to increase that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion of investment, real investment, and real opportunity by details in many areas,” the crown prince said. “And the agreement that we are signing today in many areas of technology, [artificial intelligence], and materials, magnets, etc, that will create a lot of domestic opportunities,” he added. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/11/18/saudi-crown-prince-pledges-to-raise-u-s-investment-to-nearly-1-trillion/

Okay if I include something about the thread ? FTA: Now, first, on the surface what they are saying is not actually controversial. If any president, for instance, decides to declare him or herself ‘dictator for life’ our military should absolutely refuse to obey any orders aimed at enforcing that. The problem is that you know this not the game they are playing. For instance, whenever Democrats talk about the Constitution, we ask sarcastically ‘Which Constitution are you talking about? The Constitution you believe in that has things like a right to abortion and gay marriage in it? Or the actual Constitution which has freedom of expression and the right to keep and bear arms in it?’ There is a certain breed of people—and almost all of them are in the Democratic party—that believe that the Constitution means whatever they want it to mean, rather than looking at it objectively and recognizing that it is a document written by other people whose values don’t always line up with yours. Unfortunately, a lot of those people are in the judiciary and even currently on the Supreme Court And the point of this diversion is to make the point that this is the kind of analysis we think these Congresscritters are hoping for. They aren’t hoping that our military personnel will study what the founders meant by a particular provision and do their best to interpret the Constitution as the founders intended. No, they are hoping that they will base their interpretation of the Constitution on what they wished it said, regardless of what it actually says. It is a recipe for chaos in our military. Also, this is actually crazy. The Senate can't 'have their back,' law enforcement and intelligence serve the executive branch. https://twitchy.com/aaronwalker/2025/11/18/video-democrats-call-for-the-military-to-disobey-orders-n2421841 .
