Autism may be caused by toxins breathed

reveal states most at risk

Air pollution breathed in by women during pregnancy may be linked to a greater risk of developing autism, according to new research. A review of the latest literature found babies with a genetic predisposition to autism exposed to four common air pollutants were more likely to develop the condition. It's thought that when breathed in during early childhood or in the womb these pollutants can get into the bloodstream. There, they can bypass the protective layers of the brain, causing inflammation, changing the way nerves function and develop.

Senate Republicans have once again enabled RINO Mitch McConnell, gifting him the chairmanships of the Senate Rules Committee and the powerful Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense for the 119th Congress.
Despite concerns over McConnell’s mental acuity, his new roles position him to obstruct President Trump’s conservative agenda from within.
McConnell will now chair both the Senate Rules Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense—roles that could give him significant influence over key legislative priorities.
RINO McConnell wasted no time declaring his intentions.
In 2008, then-Senator John McCain made the interesting choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate in the presidential election. It was an interesting choice, but the problem for John McCain was that the charismatic and attractive Sarah Palin quickly overshadowed him on the campaign trail. Like a lot of people at that time, curious about the Alaska Governor, I decided to go to the source and bought a copy of her book "Going Rogue."
It was an interesting read. I won't go into detail; this isn't a book review. Suffice it to say that I agreed with Mrs. Palin on many things and disagreed on a few.

Mike Rogers Leading the FBI Following
Grassroots Uproar 2 replies
The internet exploded this week with rumors that former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers was being considered as FBI Chief by President-elect Donald Trump in his second term.
Mike Rogers recently lost his senate race in Michigan following a late night ballot dump that gave the race to unpopular Democrat Elissa Slotkin in Michigan. Rogers did not question the results and congratulated Slotkin in her win in a state that went for President Trump by nearly 80,000 votes.
Maybe Rogers did not complain about his loss since he was very vocal trashing President Trump in 2020 for contesting the highly controversial and improbable results of the 2020 election.
President-elect Donald Trump's team has warned Republican Senators that they will have to face primaries funded by billionaire Elon Musk if they vote against his Cabinet nominees.
According to ABC Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl, one Trump adviser said: 'If you are on the wrong side of the vote, you're buying yourself a primary. That is all. And there's a guy named Elon Musk who is going to finance it'.
'The president gets to decide his cabinet. No one else', the adviser added.The ominous threat comes after Trump's nominee to be attorney general Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination

killer Jose Ibarra 6 replies
MSNBC has faced widespread backlash after publishing an opinion piece sympathizing with the killer of Laken Riley.
Legal analyst Danny Cevallos came under fire for his take on the Georgia nursing student's brutal murder and the trial of Jose Ibarra, 25, an illegal immigrant and member of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, published under a headline saying he 'never stood a chance.'
Ibarra was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Thursday, as a judge found him guilty after hearing volumes of damning evidence, including Ibarra's DNA found under Laken's fingernails from when she fought for her life.
Former President Bill Clinton bemoaned the presence of “zillions of new websites” in a Thursday interview with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, saying Democrats were “not even being heard” during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Former President Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early Nov. 6, while Republicans picked up four seats in the Senate and are projected to hold the House of Representatives. Clinton said Democrats were “not even being heard” in rural areas, saying he “tried to help.”“Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything. You know?

Nancy Mace issued a brutal verbal takedown to a transgender activist who confronted the congresswoman over her campaign to ban transgender women from using women's bathrooms on Capitol Hill.
Mace, a South Carolina Republican, caused a commotion in DC this week after demanding that Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride not be allowed into women's facilities around Congress.
McBride, the first transgender person elected to Congress, has agreed to abide by the rules after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson endorsed Mace's proposal.
As a stalwart Trump ally, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) will soon join the incoming administration and work closely with Elon Musk and Ohio businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Rumors suggest that MTG will chair the new subcommittee created by House Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer (R-Ky.)., which aims to reduce the federal government’s workforce and regulations. Musk and Ramaswamy will also work alongside Greene on the committee.
The panel, the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will eradicate wasteful spending, fraud, and ongoing abuse within the federal government.

They had a face-to-shin meeting.
The world’s tallest woman and the world’s smallest woman met for a spot of tea on Wednesday, celebrating their sizable records.
Rumeysa Gelgi, who stands at a towering 7-feet-tall and Jyoti Amge, who just scrapes 24-inches in height, came together for tea time at London’s Savoy Hotel as part of a Guinness World Records event Wednesday. (Photo) Despite an atmospheric difference in height, the two anomalous ladies got along together like peas and carrots — bonding over the life challenges faced because of their unique sizes
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski sported glum looks as they returned to their Manhattan penthouse after MSNBC reportedly slashed fellow star Rachel Maddow's salary amid sagging ratings.
The pair's secret Mar-a-Lago meeting with Donald Trump has resulted in viewers abandoning the liberal network and critics accusing them of hypocrisy, even though they dismissed the controversy on their show Tuesday.
Their careers could be in flux as parent company Comcast looks set to 'spin-off' MSNBC amid radical changes which led the co-hosts to joke they could lose that very penthouse earlier this week.
According to documentation obtained by congressional investigators, the Department of Health and Human Services sent unaccompanied minor children to sponsors who listen their address at a strip club in Florida. Once the kids got there, they were pimped out by "family" members. When asked about this horrific situation during a hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra had no explanation for the practice and little condemnation for the lack of oversight.

Outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — a member of the far-left “Squad” — is demanding that the next Star Wars movie features a black Jedi lead character, saying he will refuse to watch and will even denounce the movie franchise if his demand isn’t met.
The threat to the Walt Disney Company comes as the studio recently announced a new Star Wars movie trilogy in the making from X-Men veteran Simon Kinberg.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who is set to leave Congress in January after losing his primary, made his demand known in an X post on Tuesday.
“If the lead Jedi is not a Black [sic] man I ain’t messing with yall.
The left really is having a difficult time coping with Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 elections. Some celebrities have even "moved out" of the country. On Wednesday evening, we learned that comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi have moved to rural England. It's not all that it seems, though, because they already owned the home in Great Britain. But they are selling their Montecito, Calif., estate.
Not all celebs who claimed to be worried about a Trump dictatorship are leaving the country, though. Most are just leaving X/Twitter.
Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination as Donald Trump's attorney general amid a report alleging he had a threesome with one minor and one adult.
Gaetz announced his shocking decision on social media.
'I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance,' he wrote on X.
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his new pick for attorney general is Pam Bondi.
The announcement came just hours after Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration.
"For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans — Not anymore," Trump said in a post to Truth Social. "Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again."
Bondi previously served as Florida’s attorney general.
What does “resistance” look like?
When Denver isn’t busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago, its mayor is trying to act like enforcing American immigration law and deporting illegal aliens is Tiananmen Square all over again.
The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces.
“More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?”
Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe said the bureau would be endangered if Kash Patel, a former aide to President-elect Trump, is nominated and confirmed to lead the agency.
“No part of the FBI’s mission is safe with Kash Patel in any position of leadership in the FBI, and certainly not in the Deputy Director’s job,” McCabe told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday evening, adding that “The scope of authority is enormous.” “If you enter into that position with nothing more than a desire to disrupt and destroy the organization, there is a lot of damage someone like Kash Patel could do,” he said.

The Biden administration told Congress it plans to cancel $4.65 billion in debt owed by Ukraine, approximately half of an economic loan offered earlier this year. [Snip] In April, Congress passed a supplemental funding package that earmarked $60 billion worth of aid for Ukraine, including $9 billion structured as a loan, with a provision that allowed the administration to forgive it, according to Miller. [Snip] Biden has also vowed to commit the remaining $7 billion from the supplemental package to Ukraine before Biden leaves office. On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced $275 million for Ukraine that would include more drones, artillery ammunition and mortars.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the war in Gaza and the October 2023 attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in the Palestinian territory.
The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects and is likely to further isolate them and complicate efforts to negotiate a cease-fire to end the 13-month conflict. But its practical implications could be limited since Israel and its major ally, the United States,

commitment to DEI resurface after 'woke' rebrand 24 replies
Recent comments from a head marketing director at Jaguar are now drawing attention after the brand launched a polarizing rebrand of the luxury car company this week. [SNIP] "We're on a transformative journey of our own. Driven by a belief in diversity, inclusion, creativity, policy and, most importantly, action. We've established over 15 DEI groups such as Pride, which are here tonight, and Women in Engineering and Neurodiversity Matters," Pietrosanti said.
"We've launched major policy revisions such as transitioning at work to drive equity and support for our communities, embracing individuality as our superpower," he continued.
Trump finally vanquished Obama
24 replies
In his victory speech in 2008 — nearly a generation ago — Obama told the masses in Chicago: “It's been a long time coming. But tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.”
Upon reflection, Obama’s changes were far from transformative. Oh, the deep state got deeper. And the insurance industry received subsidies that over the years likely top a trillion dollars by now.
Obamacare also enabled him to enable the transgender fad that has poured millions into a few doctors and children’s hospitals while spaying and neutering thousands of innocent teens who were struggling with teenage hormonal imbalances.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested in a recent interview that the DOJ staff is worried it will become a “law firm” for President-elect Trump during his second stint in the White House. His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders and then making the bureaucracy move.”
