I've admired RFK Jr for a long time as my son suffered severe adverse reactions as a toddler from vaccines. He was one of the few brave enough to state the truth back then, but his seemingly knee-jerk support of left-wing causes (climate change for example) made me suspicious.

Nicole Shanahan has really impressed me though. I bought the caricature of her being a Laurie David type (i.e. a froot loop leftist who happened to marry a rich guy) but now admit I was completely wrong. She is extremely smart and level-headed, and very well spoken. But most important, she truly understands what we are up against. I first noticed this when she put out a tweet listing what the problems the world faced. Most of them were standard populist talking points with one exception. I don't recall exactly the context, but one of the points was being ruled by sociopathic pedophiles (or something to that effect).

I immediately became a fan and became more impressed as I listened to her interviews. Not only RFK, but she belongs in a Trump administration too.

“There are different kinds of gifts” (1 Corinthians 12:4). Shanahan might make a good SBA director. Wolf would make a terrific policy advisor or press secretary. On-board everybody with a useful talent. Just don't put RFKJr in charge of the EPA unless his sole purpose is to dismantle it.

Someone at her level of social engagement might know something about that first hand by just looking around. And hearing rummers.
