Falling Short‼️: “Born Lucky” came out in September of last year as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the results of his “gold-standard” scientific examination of what causes autism
💊You can decide for yourself on the validity of “don’t take Tylenol.”
Since then, we’ve gotten little to no new information — it seems like the White House has moved on.
Be fair⚖️: MS NOW’s Chris Hayes mocked RFK Jr.’s “strange obsession” with autism
🎤Hayes: “One of the things that’s been very strange to me about watching the development of the perversion of the public health system under RFK is the obsession with autism. … And that autism is this like creeping specter that this society is awash in it. … It has become this strange, I think, strange kind of obsession.”
Better question❓: Why aren’t we obsessed with something going from 1 in 1000 when I was a kid to 1 in 31 now — three times more for boys and higher for poor and minority communities.
The rise in autism cases and how to stop and reverse it should be the scientific question of our time!

Is Trump Stuck?
‼️There is a saying in Arabic that I have two choices — both of which are bitter.
3️⃣When it comes to Iran, Trump has three choices — all of which are bitter.
🗣️His speech last night didn’t do much to change minds — but it did reveal he wants out in “two or three weeks.”
Told you🤷: Iran knows that too — and all Iran must do to win is survive.
Reality‼️: Trump faces three options, none of which look good.
1️⃣Fight beyond two or three weeks to allow the Iranian people to rise up and or kill off enough of the regime that someone will make a good deal.
⛽Gas prices will remain high.
😡More of the America First base will turn against Trump.
Trump put Tucker Carlson on blast, reposting an article saying “Deranged Tucker Carlson backstabs Trump.”
Conspiracy nut Alex Jones says it’s time for Trump to go
🪖Trump might have to commit ground troops.
😬He will spend the summer with high gas prices and rising casualties.
2️⃣Leave in two or three weeks unilaterally and let Iran control the world’s energy, or at least keep their blackmail power over the world economy.
⛽Gas prices will stay high
👎Trump will look weak
There is no “win”
3️⃣Make some deal with the Iranians that the regime gets to stick around if they bring down gas prices
‼️Trump will be hostage to the Iranians
😬The Arabs and Israelis will feel totally abandoned
He will look weak to President Putin and President Xi
Not alone‼️: Many presidents have felt this way — choosing between the least worst.
🤷That doesn’t mean Trump made a mistake confronting and then attacking Iran
In fact, it means Trump was willing to do something that every president has promised but chickened out of.
Watch tonight📺: Marc Caputo on if Trump is stuck.
Europe Is Caving 🚨
🗣️President Zelenskyy of Ukraine sat down with NewsNation’s Robert Sherman — Zelenskyy says Russia’s continued help to Iran makes the Ukrainian fight even more important.
Politics=Local😨: Zelenskyy is scared right now. Europe, which championed the Ukraine fight, is now on the outs with America and Trump.
Why🤷: Because Trump is about to say to Europe that if Iran is my war, Ukraine is your war.
👀The White House view — as explained to a Politico reporter:
“It’s like these motherf**kers always talk about Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five, Article Five,” said a person close to the White House, who was also granted anonymity to share an unvarnished view of the president’s thinking, referring to the alliance’s principle that an attack on one is an attack on all. “Okay, well, Iran has been blowing up our soldiers and ripping their wings off for, you know, half a century, and we finally responded, and now they’re going after all our major non-NATO allies and the United States, and you guys are not only saying we’re not going to help but you’re closing your airspace to us – really?”
‼️It all comes from liberal European leaders pandering to their massive Muslim populations
🤦They are choosing (short-term) political survival over their American friends
Example📱: Video in France of Muslims running police out of their neighborhood.
Not wrong🤷: Secretary of State Marco Rubio says NATO is only about the U.S. defending Europe.
🎤Rubio: “NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need their help…when we need them to allow us to use military bases, their answer is no? Then why are we in NATO? You have to ask that question.”
This is after Spain closed its airspace to U.S. military planes
Italy denied the U.S. from using its military base in Sicily
France refused to allow U.S. planes to fly over French airspace.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said it’s not their business
🎤Starmer: “This is not our way. We will not be drawn into the conflict. This is not in our national interest.”
‼️Yet it could be in Europe’s interest to help out.
Good read📰: Politico headlines: “Why Europe is Wrong to Think Iran is ‘Not Our Way,’” writing
✏️“Of course it is our war. It is far more our war than America’s. The infiltration of European societies by Islamist networks is further advanced and more acute here than in America...But even if one believed it was not our war, or even if one were disappointed not to have been briefed on the plans, there remains a potent strain of European society where proclaiming hatred of Donald Trump is greater than sound self-interest.”
Wow! This is written by the chairman of Politico’s German-based corporate parent.
Watch tonight📺: NewsNation’s Robert Sherman on his recent interview with President Zelenskyy
Plus➕: Michael O’Hanlon joins us.
‘He’ll Gut You Like a Trout’ ‼️
😁Democrats are overjoyed right now over Attorney General Pam Bondi being ousted.
Rep Jamie Raskin, D-Md.: “Going all the way down the road with the corruption…Career killer for a lot of people.”
Rep Seth Moulton, D-Mass.: “She is an extremist. She’s petulant. I mean, she comes to Congress like a child.”
Angie “Pumps” Sullivan: “She sold her soul to the devil and she lost and I for one am delighted.”
Don Lemon: “I told y’all karma is a you know what…Hey Pam Bondi hahahahaha.”
Reality check☑️: If I were Democrats, I would be terrified — Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche will now serve as acting attorney general — and Blanche is a lot more effective than Bondi is.
🤷Fox News’ Jonathan Turley agrees — “He’ll gut you like a trout,” Turley says of Blanche
Fun note‼️: Nobody gets fired anymore under Trump — the guy had a very successful TV show about firing people, but now, they just get assigned to a new role
🗣️Trump says Bondi will be transitioning “to a much-needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future.”
👀Who will get a better job next — the betting markets say Tulsi Gabbard.
Watch tonight📺: Former Republican Pennsylvania Congressman Charlie Dent and Caroline Sunshine
The Fang Fang Files 📄
🤦Democrats are already saying the next attorney must prosecute people out of the Epstein files — doubtful since Blanche said there is no evidence of crimes by others.
🤷BUT as we predicted, releasing the Epstein files will come back to bite people.
Fang Fang‼️: Democrat firebrand Eric Swalwell wanted the Epstein files released — he pounded FBI Director Kash Patel over it.
🤦But he now says it’s a political hit job to release the FBI files about his (cough cough) alleged relationship with a Chinese spy.
🤦Yes — the hypocrisy is that blatant — so is the stupidity.
‼️Did Swalwell not contemplate that releasing the Epstein files would start the flood of releasing other files?!?! That is why we said Democrats will rue the day.
Big picture📷: Filling Bondi’s job will be hard —
🤷Anybody who is really good won’t want to bring cases they will lose and thus be toxic after the administration
‼️Anybody who is loyal will face a brutal confirmation hearing and make life miserable for Republican senators — if they get through — all eyes on Senator Susan Collins.
