Dominion Voting Systems, the election vendor that was falsely accused of rigging the 2020 election, is being sold and rebranded as Liberty Vote effective immediately.


Scott Leiendecker, the founder of a Missouri-based election technology company who previously served as the Republican director for the St. Louis City Board of Elections, purchased the company this week for an undisclosed sum, according to a press release.


“As of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control,” the press release reads.

Leiendecker says he wants to use the renamed company to restore public confidence in the US electoral process. Liberty Now also vows to be bipartisan as it works to reshape Dominion’s image. Dominion’s election products were used by millions of US voters across 27 states last year.


Dominion’s founder and CEO, John Poulos, confirmed in a one-sentence statement provided to CNN on Thursday that, “Liberty Vote has acquired Dominion Voting Systems.”


The company’s new owner laid out four goals, many of which align with the Trump administration, that they argue will restore trust in US elections, the main being a heavy emphasis on using paper ballots.
 

Health Secretary Kennedy, Trump link circumcision to autism through Tylenol

WASHINGTON – Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expanded his crusade against using Tylenol with a cutting-edge warning: boys who were circumcised were twice as likely to be diagnosed with autism later.
"There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol."
Kennedy and Trump set off a political firestorm Sept. 22 when they urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol because of the unproven risk that its active ingredient acetaminophen increases the risk of autism.
The recommendation remains contentious. Tylenol’s manufacturer, Kenvue, said it continues to evaluate scientific studies but that studies found "no causal link between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and fetal developmental issues."

Trump admin promotes unproven link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism​

President Donald Trump (L), accompanied by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (C) and Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Jay Bhattacharya, arrives to deliver an announcement on “significant medical and scientific findings for America’s children” in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Sept. 22, 2025 in Washington, D.C. Trump and Kennedy are expected to highlight that Tylenol use during pregnancy could contribute to the development of autism in children, although many health agencies have noted inconclusive results in the research.

Acetaminophen is commonly used by pregnant women, who are already advised by the Food and Drug Administration not to use ibuprofen after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists both endorsed using acetaminophen during pregnancy in Sept. 5 statements.
But Trump called on Kennedy during a Cabinet meeting focused on peace negotiations in the Middle East and the lingering government shutdown to reinforce their warnings against Tylenol.
"I would say don’t take Tylenol is you’re pregnant," Trump said. "And when the baby is born, don’t give it Tylenol."
President Donald Trump, next to Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., makes an announcement linking autism to childhood vaccines and to the use of popular pain medication Tylenol for pregnant women and children, claims which are not backed by decades of science, at the White House, in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22, 2025.

President Donald Trump, next to Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., makes an announcement linking autism to childhood vaccines and to the use of popular pain medication Tylenol for pregnant women and children, claims which are not backed by decades of science, at the White House, in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22, 2025.
Kennedy acknowledged that studies haven’t proven that acetaminophen causes autism, but that correlations with its use are so strong that it would be irresponsible to ignore.
"It’s not dispositive that it causes autism," Kennedy said. "It’s so suggestive that anybody who takes the stuff during pregnancy is irresponsible."
The problem is that women are left with few choices for pain relievers during pregnancy – or baby boys after a circumcision.
"You have to tough it out," Trump said. "It’s easy for me to say."

    Those two are a walking, talking example of why abortion needs to be legal.

    Just when you think things couldn't get even more absurd. And by the way, I think the burden of proof is greater than, "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol." I wonder what other ideas come to him while cutting the heads off dead whales.

      He's definitely on the spectrum, it's because his dad was really old when he was conceived. But nothing is ever trump's fault so they're hunting windmills again.
