- This is pretty powerful.

- Don't care your politics - this is funny.

- Peace through strength is working. It always works - why people choose to be soft and expect that to work always baffles me.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Chris Wray lied under oath. Pride goeth before a fall - or in this case hopefully an indictment.

- Soros poured $80M into pro-terror groups, says non-profit watchdog. Could George Soros and his son Alex be among the next indictments we see?

- What if the NIH had been 40% smaller? Interesting but do cuts have to be in grants? What about administration or staffing? What does DOGE say?

- Does Tylenol cause autism? What the evidence says. I'm also skeptical because the article does not mention either vaccines or the Amish.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Interesting look at the USGCRP and the NCA. Hard to believe the USGCRP is now 35-years old. What's been accomplished by them in that time?

- Dr. Robert Malone on RFK Jr. "autism" speech. 

- Peter Thiel on Elon Musk

- CNN on CNN crime. Someone should ask Kaitlin Collins what other stories she based on what she heard from her "source" and if those were lies too.

Chris Mintz

Here's the Go Fund Me page for Oregon shooting hero Chris Mintz. When I first clicked on the link it was at about $390,000 - now as I type this it's at $540,000. It would be cool if people could get that number over $1 million for this hero.

Here's some more info and background on Chris Mintz. Not just a hero but a devoted father who I think would make an excellent ambassador for the cause of helping cure or better understand autism.

Autism - Epidemic or Just Now Getting Noticed?

Interesting article in Discover Magazine about autism. The article gives the history of autism and how until recently it was diagnosed as other things.

The article argues that autism has probably not become more common in recent years - what has changed is how we identify and count the people stricken with it. The rate of 1 in 88 children or 1% of the population may be pretty static throughout history but we are no longer calling those people retarded, insane or schizophrenic. They are now classified as autistic.

It is important to understand the history so that circumstantial causes are not blamed. We know frighteningly little about autism. The resources are very limited so it is important to find true root causes and not go down wrong paths. 

Like I said - very interesting article. I'll probably have to read it a couple more times to grasp the true significance.
