Remember that RFK Jr. press conference from a few days ago in which he attempted to do pull-ups? He also talked about infant formula, and how HHS wants to encourage mothers to breast feed as long as possible, because baby formula is allegedly inferior to “God’s given formula”. > **[RFK Jr slammed for breastfeeding comments amid MAHA push against infant formula](https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/rfk-jr-slammed-for-breastfeeding-comments-amid-maha-push-against-infant-formula-101765328020131.html)** > > Health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's remarks sparked controversy as he talked about breastfeeding being better than infant formula.

None of the pictures are incriminating. And you’re right, drips and drabs and the Dems calling for the “full release” will only amount to what doesn’t look bad to Trump. Fake, hoax. All make it 1 day news on page 5 at best. KCIII mountbattened Andrew because of a couple of pictures and his evasiveness. He wanted no part of a scandal. Whomever killed Epstein did a number of people - not all - a favor. There is no photo/video/testimony that can affect trump in any way. Similar content will be used against a presumed Democratic opponent in 2028 and that will sink them, even if they bother putting the President row on the ballots. ---

Trump at today’s Army-Navy football game demonstrated he has no idea how to flip a coin, tossing it up into air like he is releasing a baby bird. It did not appear to spin at all before it hit the ground. > The president, while standing at midfield at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, grabbed the coin from the ref, made an amused face for a moment, and asked “are you all set?” > > He then took the coin in his gloved right hand and lobbed it up in the air — almost like he was tossing an alley-oop to an NBA star like Anthony Edwards — with the coin appearing to go straight up, make no revolutions, before landing on the field. Trump pointed at the coin on the ground, for good measure, before the ref said it came up tails, meaning Army won the toss. **Trump’s No-Flip Coin Toss at Army-Navy Game Stuns Internet: ‘Looked Like a Space Alien Wholly Unfamiliar With the Concept’** > **[Trump’s No-Flip Coin Toss at Army-Navy Game Stuns Internet: ‘Looked Like a...](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-no-flip-coin-toss-220540709.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAH8mg7QaOlVVzKm8hZgNwdkhJ4ceIlROqFI1A6IetvEKLKIUKGQKGakjAXjLzGe4zNA3t2LSKOR9ZCpGZK3cuJI5LAbrpbHoe3JM2nGSd2vk3COaHepK4OFK9HU2FisjUuTzgzgdYTKjQpXKBVJmkj5pSS6qvfDLGU_FWvjchmWc)** > > President Donald Trump found a new way to get the internet to flip out on Saturday — by doing the ceremonial coin flip before the Army-Navy football game. ---
