RFK chose two less rigorous studies to justify his advice on Tylenol while ignoring larger, more rigorous studies that find no association between Tylenol and ADHD or autism.

Fever can harm the unborn child and even cause miscarriage. Tylenol can prevent that by lowering the fever. Because Trump told women to not take Tylenol, some women won’t take it when they should, with bad consequences.

Donald Trump Is Not a Peace President

Posted on October 2, 2025 by Lone Candle

“The two Trump administrations have launched as many airstrikes at overseas targets as any other administration. Although childish and superficial, his renaming the Department of Defense as the Department of War doesn’t telegraph a love of peace. Nor does his authorized strike on a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean. His policies in the Middle East have amounted to little more than giving Israel the greenlight to do as it pleases. Then there were his attacks on nuclear sites in Iran and his constant threats to send troops to root out cartels in Mexico.

Whether or not you agree with these policies, they don’t adhere to any principled non-interventionist philosophy. And that takes us back to Russia and Ukraine. The problem with appeasement is that it emboldens the aggressor rather than secures lasting and just peace. No serious person is calling for American troops in Ukraine, but Trump’s insistence on blaming Ukraine and not pushing Russia for serious concessions has escalated the conflict.”

Trump is forcing federal agencies and workers to attack Democrats.

Trump is threatening to cancel funding in Democratic states to attack Democratic leaders in response to the government shutdown.

This politicization of federal responsibilities is not good. Bad.

“Most U.S. drug traffickers are Americans, but the president is ordering extrajudicial maritime killings while ignoring the domestic demand that drives the market.”

The Government Was Lying to You About Afghanistan. Dan Krauss Has the Receipts.

“At the beginning of the war, the Taliban were almost completely routed, and the U.S. military could have left from a position of strength. The new Afghan republic announced that it had an offer from the Taliban to surrender in exchange for amnesty and a chance to participate in politics. But the Bush administration turned down that offer, settling for nothing less than total, unconditional victory.”
