Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

Science for the win 🎉

Interesting also that they are planning a trial where patients will be intentionally given a Covid vaccine prior to starting cancer treatment because it may prime the immune system & improve treatment response

BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?

RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI

B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant

I’m going to stop using any online retailer that does not provide a clearly visible email address and phone number through which you can contact an actual human being if there’s a problem with your order. See also helplines.

Chatbots absolutely suck.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Ya know, It used to be a practice back in the 14th and 15th centuries to lob disease-ridden corpses and body parts over the walls of a castle to infect the enemy army and break a siege.

Hegseth saw this and said, "No no. We'll do it for you. And we'll cut out the middleman!"

Idiot.

Nothing says fit for battle like a preventable respiratory disease.

He's truly a fucking imbecile. His demise will be widely celebrated along with Trump.

Canadian and Irish women found an intelligence document in the Epstein files created by the FBI mapping how global power moves. This goes way beyond sex trafficking. And we will eventually map Canadian power the same way.

The Supreme Court found that a school acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people was such a violation of freedom of religion that they had to allow opt outs but now the 5th circuit says kids being exposed to the ten commandments isn't. The law is such a joke.

Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says The move alarmed some public health experts and legislators, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.

Hegseth has eliminated the requirement for troops to receive the flu vaccine.

The flu is devastating to those in combat zones.

Half of the US casualties during WWI were due to influenza

The vaccine saves lives

Hegseth’s decision will kill people

I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.
