kingdragonfly: FCC Chairman says his “Easy Way Or The Hard Way” comment about Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if ABC didn’t fire him


 

yeah right, and Trump has never been convicted of anything...

 

 

Next we'll be hearing, "oh, Trump had nothing to do with his cancellation, it was a business decision"...just a "business decision" that got rolled back a week later 🙄

If he wants to be seen as "Selling out", then his show will be DOA anyway.

 

LOTS AND LOTS of people have cancelled subscriptions, holidays, etc etc etc, they will NOT be forgiving if he sells out.

 

 

 

 

Yeah. In practice (I like to believe that) what I would do would be to go to all the studio staff, writers etc. and tell them I was sorry, but I wasn't going to compromise, and I would understand if they had to take care of themselves and move on.

Donald Trump and his medical "expert" Robert F. Kennedy Jr have just announced that paracetamol causes autism, and that his officials plan to tout a lesser-known drug, leucovorin, as a potential autism treatment.

 

This is pure unadulterated Trump / Kennedy BS.

 

The Guardian - AMA president says no studies show paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism

 

today

 


Danielle McMullen, the president of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), said this morning there are no studies showing paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism. ...

 

"There are no studies showing that paracetamol use in pregnancy causes autism"

 

"There have been some studies showing what we call an association between paracetamol use and autism in children, but there’s also been really large studies showing that there’s no association. And it’s important to remember that association doesn’t mean cause."

 

"It could be that there’s a whole range of things that happened during pregnancies, and one of those was that the pregnant mother took paracetamol, but it also could be that she had a fever or there were genetic factors."

 

"In fact, in autism, it’s most likely that autism is linked with genetic factors as its primary driver, but we really don’t know the full cause of autism."

 

 

Disclosure: I am a retired Australian paediatrician.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

Radio NZ - 'Safest medicine to take'

 

today

 

 

Chief Science Advisor Dr Ian Town of the New Zealand Ministry of Health said its advice had not changed.

 

"Paracetamol continues to be the safest medicine to take in pregnancy if you require pain relief or treatment for fever," he told RNZ in a statement.

 

"The safety of all medicines continues to be monitored in New Zealand by Medsafe. We also continue to monitor emerging information about the safety and effectiveness of the products overseas."

It makes me wonder who will gain the most from the increased sales of this drug that will cure the 'tism. 

 

They really are the worst of humanity...and I don't mean people with Autism.

These guys are fixated in autism.

 

It won't be long before Trumptler is influenced by his Minister of Propaganda Stephen Miller and starts T4.

If Trump doesn't have some slimy friend whose company happens to own the patent on leucovorin I will be shocked.

The branded version of leucovorin (“Wellcovorin”) is held by GSK.

The company behind GSK traded with notably higher volume on Friday, 19 Sept.
Trump / RFK announcement was Monday.

MarketWatch reported ~11.7 million shares traded that day vs a 50-day average of ~7.7M. A clear intraday spike of 52%. Very suspicious.

As we know Trump has been called out by a parent of a disabled child in his own family for those tendencies.

Imo Trump will agree with and implement any wacky RFK policy that is basically free or makes him look good by cutting spending. Goodbye to anything RFK doesn't like. Anything that costs money like improving school meal quality in deprived areas will go into the dustbin faster than classified documents are flushed down the toilet.

Trump appointee Paul Atkins was sworn in as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in April.

Of course he want the SEC’s to "refocus of its priorities" and "common sense” in what he's called overreach.

Besides loving crypto tech-bros, it's clear he wants tighter commission control and reduced penalties. Also he wants to reduce the SEC’s agility and deterrence power.

The commission has four members (three Republican and one Democratic); the other Democratic position remains vacant.

Coincidently by law, there are 5 seats and no more than three commissioners can belong to the same political party.

The other crazy about the Wind Power project, is its about 80% complete. 
The contracted price was lower than other providers, so depriving the state and citizens of potential power savings.

 

Trumplicans really get upset whenever a scheme is shown to be more economic and faster to build than a coal plant. 

 

It does punish a Danish company building and transferring technical experience to USA in an area they lead in. 

 

Revenge for Greenland ?

Invest in USA and be held to ransom, the lesson here.

Officials wondered if Trump’s public post to Bondi about targeting enemies was meant to be private.

‘We can’t delay any longer’: Trump urges Bondi to prosecute his rivals: Politico

In a Truth Social post Saturday, the president specifically called out Senator Adam Schiff, former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James for prosecution.
...
It was a remarkable public message to the nation’s top law enforcement officer, linking his personal grievances over his own criminal prosecutions and congressional impeachments to a potential decision by federal prosecutors to level criminal charges against his adversaries. Trump’s frustration stemmed in part, he said, from “30 statements and posts” from allies that complained “nothing is being done” to punish his longtime rivals.
