details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs -
Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished.

Talk about being unsuited for his position.....

I really CAN'T with the two dolls comment. It's so cynical. So disgusting. A billionaire telling normal working people this is just... you can't make this sh-t up. That's comics villain level of vile. 

 

I guess the true colours are shining through from J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio.

Germany defends AfD extremist classification after Rubio slams 'tyranny in disguise'

Quote

"That's not democracy - it's tyranny in disguise," wrote Marco Rubio on X.

Quote

JD Vance, who met Weidel in Munich nine days before the election and used a speech to the Munich Security Conference to show support for the AfD, said that "bureaucrats" were trying to destroy the party.

"The West tore down the Berlin Wall together. And it has been rebuilt - not by the Soviets or the Russians, but by the German establishment," he wrote on X.

When the Justice Department lifted a school desegregation order in Louisiana this week, officials called its continued existence a “historical wrong” and suggested that others dating to the Civil Rights Movement should be reconsidered.

The link doesn't work.  The actual link is this:

That's a reprint of a FoxNews article. MSN reprints stuff from many sources. You can tell the source from the logo above the headline on the msn page.

The FoxNews article is describing what Leonard Bernstein's children wrote -- as a "letter to the editor" of the New York Times.

Instead of reading it filtered through FoxNews, here is the original:
"Our Dad, Leonard Bernstein, Would Want His Music Played at the Kennedy Center"

Thanks, msn drives me nuts on the one hand but on the other hand their headlines appeal to me. And, I just don't do FoxNews.

Watching the cult of Fetterman collapse is one of the few political bright spots for me.

The best part  is watching all the people who built him up now decide they want to tear him down. I'll be fascinated to see how this ends for him.

Oh, well.  At least he can cry into his hoodie.
