If he's deported back to Afghanistan he'll likely be executed by the Taliban for assisting the US when we needed his help. Sends a great message to any other foreign national the US tries to recruit to help make us safer.

Everyone on the FDA's vaccine advisory committee is a vaccine skeptic. Pharmaceutical companies must prove to us that a vaccine is safe, that it’s effective. RFK, on the other hand, is a vaccine cynic, failing to accept studies that refute his beliefs. 48hills.org/2025/06/the-...

Oprah publicized the ridiculous "The Secret" (wish for something, it will come true) and other pseudoscience including Jenny McCarthy and anti-vaccine. Her response to critics was "my viewers are smart and discerning" so I don't have to report honestly. The media dutifully reports what she says.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

He's a denier and a cynic, but definitely not a skeptic. The media, as usual, is useless at explaining this.

Elon Musk getting in a little snit and threatening to pull the rockets essential to supplying the humans on the International Space Station is why the government should NOT award him critical contracts, like SpaceLink proving Internet access in war/disasters.

The sad truth about the Ukrainian war is that this conflict would be OVER if we just gave them the resources they needed to fight. It would take as little as 10% of our annual military budget, all spent in the US, on modernizing OUR forces, and handing our surplus to Ukraine. That’s it. 10%.

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Senator Joni Ernst just wants you to know we're all going to die eventually. Actually, that's a lie: What she really wants you to know...is that she doesn't give a shit.
