"You must be a liBeRaL or something..."
Look, liberalism is ok, neo-liberalism is garbage, but if you move further left you not only get your guns back but you actually start caring about the planet AND your fellow humans too.
I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters.
In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.
My faith in America restored.
I’m at Terminal 1 at Reagan National in DC, and a couple of Honor Flights just arrived. No loudspeaker announcement, but the info spread by word of mouth, and there were spontaneous and sustained standing ovations for the veterans as they deplaned.
BREAKING: OUTRIGHT LIES! RFK Jr.’s written records just exposed his confirmation hearing claims about Samoa as COMPLETELY UNTRUE.
With Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul leading the charge to cite Dr. Anthony Fauci with contempt after the federal COVID response leader invoked the 5th Amendment in his Congressional testimony, it’s worth pointing out a more worthy candidate for a contempt citation, right within the Trump administration.
In his confirmation hearing to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the Senate that his 2019 trip to Samoa had "nothing to do with vaccines." Unfortunately for his phony narrative, Kennedy’s own written letter, obtained recently by The Guardian and AP, proves otherwise — and used the word "vaccine" or "vaccination" eight times.
In a January 2019 letter to Samoa's prime minister, written on his anti-vaccine group Children's Health Defense's letterhead, Kennedy explicitly proposed his team conduct a "detailed health informatics assessment" of Samoa's MMR (Mumps, Measles, and Rubella) vaccine program, following the deaths of two children after an improperly administered vaccine.
He speculated the deaths might stem from manufacturing issues and offered his assistance in investigating the tragedy. That's not ambiguous. That's Kennedy, in writing, before the trip, laying out a vaccine-focused mission in explicit detail.
Under repeated Senate questioning during his confirmation hearings, Kennedy flatly and continuously denied any connection to vaccines. When Senator Ron Wyden pressed him, Kennedy replied: "I went there, nothing to do with vaccines. I went there to introduce a medical informatics system." When Senator Ed Markey asked the same question the next day, Kennedy said: "My purpose in going down there had nothing to do with vaccines." He even claimed that no Samoan would say they skipped vaccination because of him.
Except a colleague on that same trip wrote to Samoan officials describing it as a vaccine-related "mission." The Samoan prime minister's own reply letter welcomed Kennedy's team specifically to assess "our MMR Vaccines." And while Kennedy was there, he met directly with anti-vaccine activists.
Months later, with vaccination rates still dangerously suppressed, measles tore through Samoa, killing 83 people, most of them children under five. Public health experts say that anti-vaccine activists, emboldened at least in part by Kennedy's visit, actively hampered outbreak response efforts.
Knowingly lying to Congress is a federal crime, though rarely prosecuted, and the statute of limitations runs five years, meaning it remains legally live for now. HHS's response was to call any suggestion Kennedy lied "outright defamatory" — without ever actually explaining the glaring contradiction between his sworn denials and his own written words. It seems as if Kennedy has enthusiastically embraced Donald Trump’s strategy of trying to repeat a lie often enough to make it commonly accepted reality.
This is the man now overseeing America's entire public health infrastructure during the country's worst measles outbreak in three decades. This is the man largely responsible for plummeting vaccination rates among America’s children, a situation that has led to the resurgence of diseases previously considered eradicated in this country.
Now that we know that Kennedy’s own paper trail suggests he misled the Senate to get confirmed for the job, it’s time for him to suffer the consequences of his lies and be removed from his role overseeing America’s healthcare system.

For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 13 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production.
No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.
Two of my favorite universities for their academic and athletic excellence are Notre Dame & Michigan. I just read Michigan is going to pass/fail for liberal arts and sciences for freshman year. This is to alleviate the pressure put on students. What is happening to us? Pressure brings excellence. Don't get soft Michigan, it's not what you’re about.
On 9/11, after US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge.

Everywhere we turn the collection of corrupt incompetents in the Trump admin is screwing up something new - Bessent the bond market, Lutnick trade relations, Hegseth the military, RFK Jr public health, Rollins Ag policy - one thing after another systematically wrecking America.
it's HIGHLY important that we remember that it wasn't the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
