What we actually learned early on in this past week via his whacky press conference is that the company that owns Tylenol didn’t buy any Trump crypto.
Apparently we are supposed to now believe that Tylenol causes Autism simply because RFK Jnr says so. You might now wonder what all the actual credible scientific sources say?
As always, when it comes to RFK Jnr, you require absolutely no psychic ability to guess correctly. The hard and fast rule of assuming that anything RFP Jnr says is total BS holds true …
- Nature: To Paraphrase their article … “This is a Bullshit Claim”
- JAMA Study: Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability – “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analyses.“
- To quote somebody outside the US bubble and has no skin in the game from either side – Monique Botha, associate professor in social and developmental psychology at Durham University, UK, said in comments to the Science Media Centre, a UK press office “There is no robust evidence or convincing studies to suggest there is any causal relationship and any conclusions being drawn to the contrary are often motivated, under-evidenced, and unsupported by the most robust methods ,”
- Rinse and repeat right across multiple and deeply credible sources.
Even WHO is calling it out as BS …
Even the UK’s National Health Service is making it wholly clear that it’s all BS …
In other words, the precise number of credible scientific sources that backup RFK Jnr’s BS claim = exactly zero.
Lysenkoism is now here.
You can as always lean upon Rep Nancy Mace to have the worst possible take on it all …
Some are of course speaking out the truth …
While the bought and paid for media remains mostly muted, it is the political cartoonists who still do an excellent job of telling you the truth with some images that speak volumes.
Matt Davies – Twist Facts To Open
That press conference was in two parts. Part one was “blame Tylenol”, and so part two was “here is an Autism cure” – which is in reality no such thing.
As People Mag Points out below, Dr. Oz announced at that same press conference that Trump’s FDA is approving a supposed “autism cure” supplement which is sold by a company owned by… Dr. Oz. …
- For full clarity on it – the evidence we have supporting the use of leucovorin for Autism… is really, really weak.
- If you are wondering what it actually is, it is Folinic acid
Clay Jones – Don’t take medical advice from felons and heroin addicts.
To compete with the above totally bonkers WH press conference this past week we also had the totally bonkers UN speech, so let’s get into that now.
The Art of the UN Speech (Trump Style)
The Guardian: Trump delivered an embarrassing performance at the UN general assembly …
Unfortunately, the long list of grievances Trump laid out in his UN speech was not limited to politicians and global institutions that he believed had wronged him. Trump spent about a quarter of his speech undermining UN-led efforts to address climate change and ridiculing renewable energy policies. He denied the scientific consensus that humans, through the burning of fossil fuels, are causing global warming, calling it “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world”. Trump added that warnings of severe floods, widespread droughts, extreme heat waves and other climate-related disasters “were made by stupid people”.
His speech at the UN was totally bonkers stuff, and I’m not alone in thinking that …
Clay Jones – “Does Trump even know how to use an escalator?“
The Rising tide of Fascism
State sponsored murder on a whim is now official US policy …
He is also going after Jim Comey …
- Trump is crossing the Rubicon. This is where he tells YOU and every other American: If I don’t like you, I will put you in prison.
I really don’t think many fully grasp how he has utterly corrupted everything …
- I’m going to go a step further ….. There is no Supreme Court anymore either. WE HAVE ONE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT … THE EXECUTIVE. And, the demented King in that office is insane.
The mad king is taking out his political enemies …
- Pam Bondi: No one is above the law. Me: Then arrest Donald Trump.
- Like many, I’ve never been a James Comey supporter, but I do want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials that he appointed refuse, he finds new ones that will.
His grifting is also off the charts …
Miller is upset about being called a fascist, but it is also a term be tosses about. Personally, I can actually call Miller a fascist, because of all the fascist things he is doing. It is not rhetoric, but an observable fact …
Your tax dollars in action for the (*checks notes*) war against war ravaged Portland …

Epstein Vote Update
CNN: “Top congressional Republicans and White House allies are working behind the scenes to prevent a politically charged floor vote to release the Epstein case files next month…” www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p…
- GOP = Guardians of Pedophiles
- For something that is supposedly a hoax, they sure are working ever so hard to keep it buried.
WSJ: “People don’t understand Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol…
- Child rape is against the law no matter what year it was! … and yes, his comment is a few millimeters away from a confession.
ICE Gestapo updates
Slammed to the ground for the “crime” of begging them to not take her husband away …
- You can watch the clip here.
- Quote: “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,”
- The oversight arm that would typically keep DHS in check, its Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, was dismantled in DOGE’s sweep.
- What makes this horrific incident even worse is that the other men there – who appear to be officers or security – do not try to help the woman or calm ICE down from injuring her more.
Many people are now just disappearing …
Ann Telnaes (the brass knuckles she put in his pocket are a nice touch)
$$$$$$$
This is the “Trump Health Care Tax” …
- This is Trumpcare, which means you get no care. It is just “concepts of healthcare” that will cost you more money. You will be blamed if you get sick, and you will be punished if you can’t pay. Welcome to Trumpcare.
Meanwhile …
Czech Republic President reposted this on Instagram …
Conspiracy Updates
Another very dangerous step …
- Martin’s threat toward the agent was the latest step in the Trump administration’s dangerous push to use the federal government to target its political opponents and protect its allies.
- The DOJ is starting to look like an absolute trash heap of corruption. What a dumpster fire.
Saint Kirk the Perpetually Aggrieved — intercessor for those who stubbed their toe and blamed socialism.
Yes, the Saint Kirk madness continues.
Eric Metaxas says that Charlie Kirk was “close to being a living saint; if not, he was a saint.“
- Saint Charlie of the Culture Wars, patron saint of yelling at college freshmen.
- Kirk being deified by two different child rape groups is spot on.
- If your first thought after a murder is ‘hey, this is great PR for my ideology,’ then maybe you best sit this one out
John Doyle wants the Trump administration to take its time in preparing to destroy the left in response to Kirk’s murder and then carry it out “in a way that vindicates everything they’ve said about [Trump] for the last ten years:” “It needs to be startling even to me.”
- Nobody needs to vindicate ten years of accusations against Trump — he’s been doing that all by himself.
Jim Garlow says that Charlie Kirk’s memorial service “will go down in history as one of America’s – and maybe the world’s – most significant days.“
- I’m Pretty sure the moon landing, D-Day, and the fall of the Berlin Wall are safe.
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith believes that Kirk is now in Heaven “getting handshakes from Moses.“
- I’m sure this is just fine with Moses. When you survive plagues, part the Red Sea, and lug stone tablets down a mountain, the very first thing you want to do for eternity is dap up a guy who got mad at M&Ms.
He is not alone in that line of thinking, Rob McCoy also claims that Kirk was “a modern-day Moses.“
- Well let’s see now – one confronted Pharaoh, parted the Red Sea, and delivered the Ten Commandments — the other confronted baristas, got mad at M&Ms, and delivered hot takes no one asked for – yea totally the same.
Tim Barton claims that Democrats who refused to vote for a House resolution honoring Kirk were “choosing the side of the devil.“
- Imagine meeting Satan and he’s like, ‘Forget famine and war, let’s talk about that Kirk resolution.’
Joel Webbon thinks that Erika Kirk’s decision to forgive her husband’s killer shows “why you can’t have women in leadership.“
- Imagine thinking forgiveness is a weakness while worshipping a guy who literally preached it nonstop.
In the wake of Kirk’s murder, Andrew Isker wants to see “a maximum amount of force is wielded against the left in this country to such an extent that even I might get uncomfortable”: “If I start to be uncomfortable, then it’s like, okay, we are on the right track.”
- When your political strategy is ‘make even me uncomfortable,’ you’ve basically admitted you’re rooting for a horror movie.
- Finally, a coin with less value than Dogecoin in 2022
- Did Shane pay for the right to use his “likeness and image”? Oh come now, this is John Shane Vaughn, convicted fraudster, he will be STEALING it just like his beloved Lord and Savour (the Orange one) would.
- Nothing screams ‘man of God’ like fantasizing about shooting political movements in the neck.
- Side Note: Doug is famous for his weird stances on many things, such as “Slavery wasn’t so bad”, “Women need to go home and cook, that’s their place”, he dismisses public schooling as “state-sponsored indoctrination.”, and if you lean even slightly left, then he considers you utterly insane, etc… In other words, he is basically nuttier than most trail mixes.
Kandiss Taylor wants to see every county in her district in Georgia name a road after Charlie Kirk.
- Perfect — roads named after Charlie Kirk: all potholes, no substance. At least drivers will finally know which streets to avoid.
- It would also be oh so symbolic – highways that lead nowhere, full of detours, and constantly under construction. Honestly, it’s the most accurate metaphor for his career yet.
Christian Nationalists
As seen above, the nuttier right-wing religious fanatics within the MAGA cult are as always doing their thing, and so here are a few samples from the past week …
- MAGA cultist Lance Wallnau praises Kash Patel for working hard to take down the “ghastly Gestapo” left in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk and finally “satisfy the bloodlust of the angry masses.” – – – – – (According to Lance, Kash Patel is leading a crusade against a ‘ghastly Gestapo’ in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s… murder? This is less political commentary and more like Mad Libs written by a confused uncle at Thanksgiving. At this point, they don’t need a revolution — they need an editor.)
- Whacky pseudo historian David Barton falsely asserts that “there are groups that literally spend millions of dollars a year to discredit me” and that he’s “on the domestic terrorism watchlist.” – – – – – (As you can guess because this is Barton the liar, neither of these claims are true)
- MAGA cultists Johnny Enlow and Steve Schultz openly acknowledge that Trump is doing multiple things that “violate some aspects of the Constitution” but insist that it’s okay because he’s saving the nation: “He has the right to thwart the Constitution, he just pretends not to.“ – – – – – (Ah yes, the Constitution —for MAGA it’s now just a vague a suggestion that can be ignored, apparently)
Weirdest of the Weird
Well hey, did you miss an offering from Joel last week. No worries, he is back.
Joel Webbon worries that he might not be radical enough: “Help me, Lord, to become worse for your glory and the good of your people. Make me half the monster that your enemies think I am.”
- Joel need not worry, he is already giving Saturday morning cartoon villains a run for their money.
- As for his desire to be “Half the monster” I hear that Godzilla is hiring interns.
Eric Metaxas believes that when Vice President J.D. Vance angrily declared “what, precisely, did I get wrong, dipshit?” on social media, it was “among the greatest sentences our language has ever produced.“
- Shakespeare: To be or not to be. Lincoln: Four score and seven years ago. J.D. Vance: Dipshit. – Truly the holy trinity of English literature.
- If that’s one of the greatest sentences in our language, then the bar’s been buried somewhere under a Waffle House parking lot.
- So here we are now living in a world where ‘Dipshit’ is apparently the Gettysburg Address of the MAGA movement.

Even More Political Cartoons from the past week
As always, there are many excellent cartoons.
Media Sane-washing of Tyranny
As is rightly being called out here, the WasPo reporting is not journalism …
