Every day their beloved superintendent turns out to be guilty of yet another category of crime. Today: Drug trafficking! Stay tuned!
He was arrested by ICE with the help of the Iowa State Patrol on Sept. 26. ICE said Roberts attempted to flee arrest and was found hiding in the brush. The vehicle he was driving was found with $3,000 in cash, a fixed blade knife and a loaded Glock 9mm pistol, which led to additional criminal charges of being an illegal alien in possession of firearms.
A real gift to Trump. All tied up with a ribbon.
Iowa will never live it down. They actually paid money to a firm to vet the guy!
The germ theory of disease is the work of the devil.
Yeah but meanwhile there’s an easy $150,000 to make by lying… er… testifying about a Tylenol/autism link. Headline, Harvard Crimson:
Harvard’s Public Health Dean Was Paid $150,000 to Testify Tylenol Causes Autism
Really disgusting. Surprising this behavior comes not only from Harvard, but Harvard’s dean of public health!
Greedy little dude refuses to talk to the Crimson about it, which is NOT surprising. If the Crimson keeps at the story, its reporters stand a chance of earning a journalism prize or two. And meanwhile, the greedy little dude gets to enjoy his time in the Trump sun.
Talk about trading on Harvard’s name!

Shades of Dipak Panigrahy. Monetizing your Harvard connection in exchange for lying/plagiarizing/whatever ain’t exactly unpredecented. Remember another of Harvard’s finest, Ben Edelman? Andrei Shleiffer?

Whaddya want me to say? Just tell me what to say in order for me to get paid or to save my ass:
In a statement on Monday night, Dr. Baccarelli slightly distanced himself from [the Trump administration’s claim of a causal relationship,] saying, “Further research is needed to confirm the association and determine causality, but based on existing evidence, I believe that caution about acetaminophen use during pregnancy — especially heavy or prolonged use — is warranted.”
In his 2023 expert report for the lawsuit, however, Dr. Baccarelli wrote that “substantial evidence supports a strong, positive, causal association between acetaminophen” and neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism and A.D.H.D.
Will he be fired? Stay tuned. Will a congressional inquiry happen? Stay tuned.

“THE RIGHT DEAN AT THE RIGHT MOMENT”
Uh. Okay.

… when all the kids in your town died from viruses for which we now have vaccines.
For many ultraorthodox, the old unvaccinated ways remain the best, which is why a bunch of their kids are currently suffering and dying from the measles. Well done!
*******************
Let’s hear from the rabbis.
[S]ome ultra-Orthodox believe that there is a connection between vaccines and autism, despite the fact that the CDC says there is none. A major Orthodox rabbi has called vaccines a “hoax.” He and two other rabbis who sit on the rabbinnical board that guides Agudath Israel of America, the leading Haredi umbrella group, have cast doubt on the efficacy of vaccines.
On the efficacy of measles at killing children I assume these rabbis are in agreement.
… is not an appropriate patron.
In a different era, the yucky Yorks would long since have been shipped to Australia (or Bermuda), enabling the crown to survive and the Yorks to gorge and cavort along the Gold Coast.

Why doesn’t the crown toss these people? UD figures it’s because Andrew in particular simply knows too much dirt on the royal family, and is blackmailing them by threatening to reveal it.
Let this comment, from the incoming president of the Oxford Union (!), stand for all the vile statements many people are making about Kirk’s assassination. The Oxford Union used to be a pretty classy outfit; why they’re handing it over to someone dissolute enough to publish something like this is a mystery.

Commentary from one of the encampment’s residents: “There’s a school right there. It looks bad, people leaving needles all over and there’s people nodded out … like it’s just gross.”
Yeah, looks bad, elementary students walking around syringes and deadheads to get to their school building… Unfortunately, the mass murder of other local schoolchildren meant a delay in a scheduled meeting about the problem…
… won’t investigate high-ranking government/party thieves cuz … why? Cuz it’s Skeezy Greece! It has a reputation to uphold.

Once all the money’s in your pockets, the system can collapse, and all the people in its hospital beds can go fuck themselves.
Economic inequality has reached a staggering milestone in Silicon Valley: just nine households hold 15% of the region’s wealth, according to new research from San Jose State University. A mere 0.1% of residents hold 71% of the tech hub’s wealth.
He got so desperate that he gave it to the … American Cancer Society. The idea is that they sell it and pocket the money – tens of millions, if there’s any justice in the world – for their good works.
But no one wants what is now the ACS’s house, a vast metastasized monument to greed and contempt.
No one has lived there for years.
And as the years go by, the ACS has attempted to solve its problem (taxes, upkeep, security?) through surgery. It has cut and cut and cut and cut the asking price for this diseased thing.
Today they did more cutting. It’s all the way down to $25 million.
