2017. Washington DC. Day of Trump's inauguration. Long before Charlie Kirk was famous and before Trump had been President for a day. This is how the left was acting. Violent, hateful monsters. The "both sides need to tone it down" is a pathetic cop out
Never thought I’d get my Congressional send-off from Deuce Bigalow.
Don’t worry sir, I promise to be more of a menace than ever. There is nothing to hold me back.
Thank you for the kind words @RobSchneider 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story?
You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements.
I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff.
In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility.
I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times.
Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention.
Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months).
His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats.
Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.
Usha and I had the opportunity to talk with the Artemis astronauts while they were up in space. Very cool that they joined Usha’s podcast! Give it a listen
@nkulw its a shame we cant have adult conversations about the state of society when libs are in the room playing “ur a meanie poopoohead” toddler politics
This “psy-op” stuff has become such a ridiculous cope. Many of us lived through the OJ trial. There is a long and very well established precedent of large swaths of the black community tribally supporting black killers who are clearly guilty. I know it’s troubling to think about but it’s real. Face it. Deal with it. Not everything is a conspiracy by shadowy government actors. Some things are actually real. This is real. Sorry.
Help me expose her!
This is the new Lord Mayor of Belfast, Róis-Máire Donnelly, in her inauguration speech on 1 June 2026
During the speech she says:
"Diversity enriches our city, and the lives of all of our citizens, and I will champion that diversity"
Not even two weeks later diversity tried to behead a citizen. She should be removed as Lord Mayor.
You’re a grown man with a BMI of 35 decked out in NFL gear, pretending to be a member of the Miami Dolphins staff. I would have absolutely no problem saying any of this to your face the next time you deliver my Uber Eats order.
The most hilarious mythology on the Left is that black women are quiet martyrs forced to carry the burden of the whole human race on their courageous shoulders. Totally divorced from reality but you hear it all the time from these people.
We have Democrats nominating an actual DEI Nazi to the Senate.
We have Act Blue funding Democrat campaigns with foreign money.
And we have a Democrat Governor covering up election fraud in California.
But please continue to say that Trump is the problem.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget the terrorist sympathizer they nominated in NJ.
Total freaks.
Last night, @POTUS invited the hardworking men who renovated the Reflecting Pool to the Oval Office ❤️
Every man received a signed hat and a presidential challenge coin!
I’m black, I haven’t stabbed anyone in the chest after being asked to leave a tent.
I’m not in prison, I’m free.
It’s not that hard to not commit a crime.
💥NEW: Jillian Michaels: “I gotta be honest: it seems to me that Trump is the ONLY one standing between US and the COMPLETE loss of free and fair elections.”
“You know, I used to think that Trump was INSANE for suggesting that the 2020 election was stolen. And now, I’m just — I’m actually not so sure.”
“Because these ANIMALS in California are not just changing election law — they’re changing what elections actually ARE!”
