Donald Triplett, the first person to ever be diagnosed with autism, passed away Thursday at the age of 89. Triplett was diagnosed as a child by Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Leo Kanner. Triplett, who was known as "Case 1", had an excellent memory and ability to recite music, but was socially withdrawn and had food aversions. Kanner began seeing Triplett in 1938, when he was 5 years old. Triplett was featured heavily in Kenner's 1943 paper, "Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact." Triplett worked at Bank of Forest, where his father Beamon was a primary shareholder, for 65 years. A Mississippi native, he graduated from Millsaps College in 1958. 11-YEAR-OLD AUTISTIC PIANO PRODIGY GOES VIRAL AFTER $15,000 SURPRISE GIFT FROM TEACHER "Don was a remarkable individual," CEO Allen Breland told WLBT.

It was less than two weeks ago that Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire passed on running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Now, the popular governor, who's been a staple on the national cable news networks and Sunday talk shows, sounds like he may be passing on running for an unprecedented fifth term steering the northeastern battleground state. "I haven't firmly made the decision that I’m not going to run," Sununu in an interview on Boston radio station WEEI on Friday.  "I'm not leaning towards it," Sununu said of another run. He later added that he'll "talk to the family about it and see what we do. But no one has ever been a five-term governor in New Hampshire. I'm not here to break records — but I could." WHY CHRIS SUNUNU PASSED ON RUNNING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE After a hard-fought election to the New Hampshire governor's mansion in 2016 and a single-digit re-election two years later, Sununu easily cruised to a...

Lamont Hunter walked out of an Ohio jail a free man Thursday after nearly two decades on death row for the death of a 3-year-old boy in 2006. He was originally convicted of aggravated murder , child endangerment and rape in the death of Trustin Blue and spent more than 15 years on death row.  Authorities said Hunter sexually assaulted the boy, who died from blunt impact and shaking injuries to his head, according to a deputy coroner's original ruling. Hunter maintained that it was an accident, though, and that Trustin fell down the stairs while he did laundry.  Hunter appeared headed toward execution until the coroner reviewed more than 700 pages of records from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center that included evidence she previously wasn't given.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez officially filed paperwork on Wednesday declaring his campaign for president in 2024 as a Republican, according to a Federal Election Commission filing. The filing comes after a newly rebranded super PAC that supports Suarez launched a digital ad blitz earlier Wednesday in the first four states that hold contests in the 2024 GOP presidential nominating calendar.  Suarez teased a run on "Fox News Sunday," saying he's going to make a "major announcement" in the coming weeks.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) responded to special counsel allegations that she had violated the Hatch Act on Tuesday, saying the White House "didn't know" it had made a violation. The Office of the Special Counsel (OSC) accused KJP of violating the Hatch Act, which limits certain political activities of federal employees to prevent influencing elections. The accusation pertained to her use of "Mega MAGA" to describe Republican policies, but she now argues that Republicans themselves have used the term, and she did not know the OSC considered it to be political. "The White House Counsel's Office is reviewing [the OSC's] opinion and is going to respond to them," KJP said. "If you look at the archived Trump White House website, it contains about nearly 2,000 uses of ‘MAGA’ to describe policies and official agendas. Congressional Republicans have also used ‘MAGA’ to refer to policies and official agenda frequently f...
