HOW EMBARASSING! Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon. 🤣🤣

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles,
it's a very, very
mad world
mad world

The CDC has delayed the publication of a report showing that the Covid vaccine significantly reduced the likelihood of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

This is a clear example of putting politics over science at the cost of lives.

Right?

BTC: Trump goes after Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly for daring hold Trump to the same standard that he campaigned on (no new wars, gas prices, etc).

Katie Zacharia: You simplify this that he's just raising gas prices & dropping bombs.

BTC: That's exactly what he's doing.

If THIS doesn’t win him a Nobel Prize, nothing will!

Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners.

Trump is kicking 100,000 veterans out of their homes. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

Talking writing with @steveperrywriter.bsky.social many, many years ago, about writers advising other writers:

"Kindness here is truth, anything less you can get from family and friends."

I try to keep it in mind.

The sociology behind Trump and Project 2025

Yup.

Trump’s new science panel includes 9 tech billionaires—and just one scientist There’s a glaring hole in the president’s new science and tech council

Not an single academic biology scientist on this council.
The tech bros have a combined wealth in excess of $900 billion. There is no priority on human health.

But Trump may add more academics to the council. I expect them to be unqualified wellness influencers- on brand.

They are to be celebrated for their dedication to the constitution and to the values they swore to uphold.....

So fucking embarrassing 😔

FACTS: $2.7 billion cut in NIH funding early in 2025, with a 31% drop in cancer research funding. Policies reduced the number of grants, making research harder to fund. Proposed budgets include major cuts to the National Cancer Institute, up to 37%.

This is so brazenly corrupt.

Medical experts say that if you develop a serious respiratory infection, you should see a doctor. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off dead raccoons says you should just drink bleach instead. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I approve this message.

"Why is no one stopping this?"

I know. But in this case, it was about data centers exploding the cost of tech gear.

The answer as in most cases is really simple. If powerful computing gear is too expensive, you have to rent it. Or do without.

The Epstein class wants you to rent. In all things.

I really despise the combination of smug idiots.

Leaked Video Reveals Putin’s Days Are Suddenly Numbered The Kremlin is flailing to make the macho leader traditionally known for his shirtless photo ops relevant again.

I can imagine a world, a year from now, where the Top World Leaders aren’t evil old men.
That would be swell.

Gee, what could go wrong with putting US troops on an island where they can't retreat easily?

Right near Iranian territory

An island that the Iranians defended for a long time against the Iraqis during their war.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Axios: Trump is considering seizing Kharg Island, which handles about 90% of Iran’s crude exports, if the Strait of Hormuz blockade continues.

The plan would require U.S. boots on the ground and a military occupation of the island.
