In a peculiar move reminiscent of handling a cut rattlesnake, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is venturing into uncharted territory. The Health and Human Services Secretary under Donald Trump, lacking any medical background, boldly claimed the ability to diagnose children’s health issues like “mitochondrial challenges” and “inflammation” merely by sight. Asserting his expertise alongside Texas Governor Greg Abbott after the signing of a health bill, Kennedy boldly stated, “I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like,” bypassing traditional medical protocols in favor of his unconventional approach.
Critics have likened Kennedy’s actions to playing the role of Doctor Dolittle without the requisite medical qualifications, where he appears to endow children with imaginary superhuman abilities based solely on visual assessments.

The department humorously remarked, “Nothing says ‘welcome to the fire service’ like making the vegan handle 40,000 pounds of flaming ribeye.”

The store has not responded to the accusations, leading locals to label it as the epitome of a uniquely Canadian lawsuit – steal a car, face a beating, and then seek compensation for the ordeal.
In a bizarre incident in Kentucky, a man was arrested for allegedly breaking into his brother’s house at 2 am and stabbing him in the testicles with scissors.

Further south in Los Angeles, an ambulance en route to a hospital with a crash victim collided in a separate accident. Adding to the chaos, a fire chief responding to the scene also crashed at the same intersection.
