The New York Times is reporting something that probably won't surprise you. Robert F Kennedy Jr. said that a health problem he experienced in 2010 "was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died." He has reportedly had quite a few health concerns, and the Times learned of the bizarre story after the paper obtained a divorce case deposition from 2012. Via The Guardian: Two years before the deposition, the paper said, Kennedy experienced "memory loss and mental fogginess so severe that a friend grew concerned he might have a brain tumour". Neurologists who treated Kennedy's uncle, the Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy, before his death aged 77 from brain cancer in 2009, told the younger man he had a dark spot on his brain scans, and concluded he too had a tumour. But Kennedy reportedly said a doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital posited another explanation: a parasite in Kennedy's brain. Speaking this winter, the paper said, Kennedy told the Times that at around the same time he learned of the parasite in his brain he was also found to have mercury poisoning, which can cause neurological problems, probably due to eating a lot of fish.read more

If you're wondering how this could happen, Pace's name could not be removed from the ballot as the deadline (no pun intended) has already occurred. So, blame bureaucracy and a lack of common sense. Then, rather than notify voters the media and election officials were somewhat derelict in their duties so many voters were unaware of her passing. Source: Washington Examiner A candidate who reportedly passed away after the deadline to remove names from the ballot was winning the Republican primary in Indiana’s 7th District, which includes the majority of Indianapolis. Jennifer Pace was declared the winner by the Indianapolis Star with over 99% of precincts reporting.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has no issues with the notorious Rikers Island housing Donald Trump. Justice Juan M. Merchan told Trump that he would face jail if he kept breaking the gag order, and Rikers would be the place where Don did his time. Speaking to the media, Adams said they are ready. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the city is prepared to handle former President Trump's potential processing at Rikers Island if he continues to violate the gag order that Judge Juan Merchan issued in Trump's criminal hush money trial.
