Tragically, we are now seeing utterly kooky, damaging, dangerous, anti-science, anti-vaccine animus from governmental officials (folks like RFK Jr, Marty Makary, Jay Bhattacharya, Vinay Prasad, Tracy Beth Høeg) 😢
“We are seeing a very familiar playbook, but we are now seeing it from the highest levels of our government’s health agencies rather than the margins of the anti-vaccine conversation.” www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

I think researchers and policymakers in prominent positions who pushed mass infection with SARS-CoV-2, said the pandemic was over, and claimed Covid was a flu/cold, helped to embolden the anti-science and anti-vax movements they decry. A bit late to speak up now.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.

That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker:

"Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."

This gives me hope.

Since Election Day—and especially after Schumer announced he was voting yes on the Republican CR bill—there’s been a surge of people stepping up to run for office. 🔥

Check out these numbers.

I'm still gobsmacked that the media is calling "signalgate" the first scandal of Trump 2.0. You mean bringing in an un-elected billionaire and a bunch of teenagers to ravage the govt. isn't one? Abducting students off the streets isn't one? Threatening to seize Greenland and so much more? WTF???

Why do we, the most powerful nation on Earth, act like the most weak and shortsighted?

In light of the firing of FBI and other security personnel, I am suspicious of the leaders of our Intel agencies. Something smells.
Russia hitting the hotel filled with foreign volunteers immediately after Trump cut intelligence to Ukraine is probably not a coincidence.

Buliles never expect their targets to fight back. Keep fighting back.

And there will be no course correction because either he will never admit he was wrong and will die saying his economy was the best in the history of economies or he is doing this on purpose. Probably both.
