In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
They are intentionally endangering our military.
So many, too many, AI posts now, the increase happened fast. Is it related to Bluesky introducing an AI app? I don't see how, but the shift is real and not welcome. I may reduce time on Bluesky. Checking facts is fine for me, checking the reality of what I see is not.

RFK Jr disses Rep. Debbie Dingell's voice: "I'm having trouble hearing that ... voice"
Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
Tilting at windmills
he fanned flames of old hatreds.
Our world came undone.

Never quite the same again.

Yes, and what was deleted and why?
Not really, that means decent Russian people and their innocent pets have gone up in flames, dead or horribly injured. Putin brought this on, not all Russians support him or his war on Ukraine.
Lets not forget he also cut off the head of a dead whale and took it for "research", and putting a dead bear cub's body in his car planning to eat the meat but then disposing of it illegally in NYC's Central Park. No wonder he has a brain worm.
A poster that reads, “Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.”

Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.
Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}
When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?
In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.
Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.
It's incredible that these levels tolerating this level of open corruption.

Al Gore:
“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.
I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...
Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
We cannot trust numbers from this Pentagon. Quite possible that there are more casualties than that.
Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"

That’s interesting! I know they created community service programs and yet all that is ever in the media is negative.
ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
The US joined the International Criminal Court under Clinton in 2000. GW Bush withdrew the US in 2002. Shameful that Netanyahu is free to come to the US even if we are not a member of that court.
I won’t go state to state, but, in NYS total budget 2026 is $250 billion. The cost of this breakfast and lunch program for all 2.4 million NYS school kids is $340 million, just 0.136%. Kudos to Hochul for making it happen.
You are right, flour more risk than eggs, both carry salmonella.
