I have followed Orac, a not so secret identity of a cancer researcher on Respectful Insolence for years. I got physically ill when I heard RFK, Jr was going to be leading DHHS. I love that he says we need healthier food. Making fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables more affordable for more houses would be a net good! But all the woo he adds with it is absolutely not credible. The man doesn't even believe in germ theory, for pity's sake!
Sodium and chlorine are two extremely poisonous substances, yet somehow we all survive even after eating liberal amounts of fries heavily sprinkled with sodium chloride. How is this possible? Get on it, Jr!

The MSM needs to be much more careful to prevent themselves from publishing fake news (a term again pushed by the Fulvous Fuckwad, along with references to Hunter Biden's laptop and the "Russia Russia Russia Hoax" during this morning's -- 27 June -- presser). If Mooseballs Mussolini is so concerned about fake news (fake is anything that doesn't paint "Sir" as the Second Coming and the bestest person in the whole wide world throughout history), then why does he and the MAGAdroids insist on pulling figures out of their collective asses as if no one is able to double check them.
This morning, while gloating how the Roberts Court has again caved to his demands, both he and DOJ's Birkenau Barbie threw out extremely bogus numbers on immigrant arrests. Specifically, Birkenau Barbie thanked the Sociopathic Marigold Swamp Monster for letting her and DHS' Birkenau Barbie deal with the violent TdA members. There are a few problems here:
* Bondi stated, point blank, that they have arrested over 2700 TdA members, which is pure bovine scat:
> "Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TDA. Members just TDA. Everyone in this room agrees they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world, and the Biden administration let them walk into our country," Bondi said at a White House press briefing." [I'm ignoring the rest of her bovine scat for the moment.] https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/bondi-touts-2700-arrests-tren-de-aragua-members
* Claims that TdA is one of the most violent gangs? What about the Russian Mafia? MS-13? The Jewish Mafia (what the Museum of Jewish Heritage calls "The Kosher Nostra")? Neo-Nazi organizations around the world? Clan del Golfo? Multiple Jihadist groups? Chinese Triads? The 'Ndrangheta? The various Mexican Cartels? The Aryan Brotherhood? The Proud Boys/3 Percenters/Oath Keepers?
* A big problem is that her number is at least 4¾ times higher than DHS estimates from Dec, 2024:
* No matter how much the current regime wants to scare you into believing their bovine scat, keep in mind:
> "evidence suggests that the TdA has had trouble expanding in places with competitive criminal markets and where state coercive capacity is strong.
Given all of this, the fear and campaign-season rhetoric in the U.S. is overblown. Despite the real threat TdA poses to many Venezuelan migrants, it’s unlikely the group has much power or reach in the U.S., where other organized criminal organizations pose much more of a threat to citizens and TdA itself." https://americasquarterly.org/article/how-much-of-a-threat-is-tren-de-aragua-in-the-u-s/
Awwww.... Poor little fascists. These people--so many of whom drive around with bumper stickers saying, "eff your feelings" and the like--never seem to do anything but complain about how HURT their feelings are.
They're right. It's all my fault. Telling people that vaccines are safe, since I've got every booster that's come along, and not died or even gotten sick. Speaking my truth caused everyone to become vaccine deniers, here in Bizarro World
A bigger collection of quacks and liars than these guys would be hard to find.

My entire immediate family is completely vaxxed. We are all set to fight the future!
making concerted efforts to put scientists in either a pro- or anti-vaccine box
WELL GOOD. Jesus fuck. It does not stiffle scientific enquiry you assmunch- there is NO science in anti vaccine
Insane morons blame media for creating insane morons for reporting on the insanity of those morons. Got it.
they cling to victimhood SO HARD its ludicrous
I was told anti-vax isn't a thing by someone who was totally anti-vax

I'm sure this man has never heard of my closest friend in high school. He might learn something.
Martha Reed Herbert. Wikipedia her.

Beautiful. I love Hopper. I was lucky to see an exhibition in Chicago years ago. It was was outstanding
There was a great exhibition in NYC a few years back. Probably the same one.
