DNC delivers nothing but amusement; Biden lost a million jobs in the couch cushions; highlights of interim report on Trump shooting; Kennedy considers Trump endorsement; Russian sanctuary state; more.
The United States Constitution grants no power to the federal government over health issues. If Trump and Kennedy read and understood the Constitution they would act to completely eliminate the entire Health and Human Services Department along with its numerous sub agencies. The individual states and people can manage health issues if they so desire.
In addition according to the Declaration they are ONLY to protect rights "...unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
Nobody understands what the word 'unalienable' means let alone how unalienable Right operate. (Clue: civil rights, civil rights embedded in code, are not Rights of Liberty).
Neil Gorsuch's book "Over Ruled" covers this, and explains how very damaging it is from a human perspective.. For nigh 20 years now, I've been "preaching" that the biggest problem with every growing federal government is that it CREATES the incivility and hostility we see now.
The Founders wanted the Federal Government to be weak for many reasons, one of which is the understanding that centralized government prevents people from working out their problems together.
Moving back to Federalism is necessary, but will be painful: especially for those tied to DC.
Yeah, here in Pennsylvania we had lovely "Rachel" Levine who gave us this best advice during the height of covid, "wash your hands for as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday."
...while the lovely Levine pulled the mom out of assisted living and stuck her in a hotel.
...while former Gov. Wolf sent covid positive patients back to the nursing homes.
Pennsylvania sucks...and they cheat with elections.
Individual states now manage abortion. Let them manage it ALL—- and I say this after reading reams of stories of parents who DON’T want their kids vaccine injured but live in Commiefornia, so…
...except for the Biden regime which forced people to get the covid DeathVax or lose their jobs.
...except for the Biden regime and Raytheon water boy SecDef Austin who forced the military to get the covid DeathVax or be kicked out of the military with a less than honorable discharge.
Correct. Too many people blindly believe Trump (and/or Kennedy) will come in in January 2025 (if we get past November) and wipe out all the governmental agencies and fire everyone. It isn't going to happen. Too many Q believers (socialist psyop) and X22 believers. People, those two things were a socialist psyop and you fell for it. It was easy to do. I did for a few weeks until I realized nothing made sense and date markers kept being moved. One way to know something is fake? The dates keep being moved. Now get up, wipe yourself off and come to reality.
I think more "agencies" fall into that category. Let's try DOING WITHOUT for a few decades. Could we really do worse than the lying LIARS poisoning We The People with UNsafe INeffective emergency use authorize inoculations or FBI and Secret Service not knowing how to protect a candidate for the highest office in the land????? I'm ready to bag the bureaucrats and live dangerously! Freedom and the US Constitution!
People need to stand up for their God given rights, for what they believe in. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were not afraid to place their signatures (their real names) pledging their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to each other with full knowledge if the fight for independence failed, they would all be hung.
This is precisely the only playbook that makes sense. Trump likely cannot win without RFK, given Democrat vote harvesting.
RFK must do a "deal" with Trump: RFK has absolute authority over CDC, NIH, FDA public health policy, and significant influence over agriculture policy. In exchange for that, he aggressively endorses Trump, for the only path to victory for Trump is a 5% swing in the vote.
Potential salvation is at hand, but will they take it? Will they embrace history? It is certainly a test to see if their rhetoric has any basis in Realpolitik, or whether it's simply hot air and hopium.
"Trump likely cannot win....." making stupid remarks that he is more beautiful than Kamala. Trump stated he's "entitled" to be mean to Kamala because she has been so rotten to him.
NO Donald Trump you need to be Presidential and put your country's needs over your own.
Put on your big boy trousers; focus on the abundant policy issues which Kackles has given you on a silver plate. That's what will give you the undeclared voters which you will need to win.
Get your messaging together or you will surely lose and that will be on you. End of story.
I did hear 2 young black women being interviewed on the street saying things like Kamala trying to get black votes claiming she’s black; not so fast. In recent past she was Indian. They took offense to her pandering. Said blacks made strides under Trump. That Harris has never done anything positive for blacks, etc. They were Trump all the was as was a guy who leaned in while passing by & loudly said, “Trump!”
She is also well known for having "serviced" a black man over a considerable period or time. So there is that........ but that does not make HER black any more than it makes jer a male.
That is encouraging. It will come down to likely voters in the swing states and that is very unclear, at least to me, where the effort is being made to those low information voters. Trump will need to make inflation, poor economy, unsecured borders is a Harris, Biden Walz creation and how the Trump administration plans to reverse the horrible policies that created this mess.
My sister heard a similar conversation with 2 black men in a restaurant yesterday. And I saw a comment on X from a guy in PA that said in his area all he is seeing are Trump signs and he was questioning the polls showing Kamala ahead in PA.
Also saw an on-the-street interview reel that included several low information voters, one a not so young black woman who spoke about the Republican party at the time of the nation's founding. 😦One's subculture or skin color has little to do with knowing history, not by the time one is middle aged anyhow. The perception of the brainwashed, a different but related issue, is impenetrable until some defining moment when the blinders fall off. Are there 81 million 🙄 defining moments to go around?
Don't mean to be a wet blanket. I'm starting to think that if the dems are selected for the WH it might actually be a good thing; enough people might have a defining moment in short order, the tipping point for things to change? American Revolution 2.0? ...Just my imagination (once again), runnin' away with me... 😏
What we see is a play, all theater. It's... all... theater. Repeat, repeat, repeat. When enough blinders fall off to that reality it's the beginning of the end of what the sleeping People have allowed to be perpetrated on the intention of a new nation, the first of its kind ever in recorded history. (PS - Nor were the founders saints; intelligent and inspired, but plenty of politics, power plays, parrying and a dose of prevarication in numerous directions, toward the new citizenry, the Crown, the French, Dutch, Spanish and the natives. ....Less than 100 years later came the first coup... Oh, but all that is for some other thread, some other time...)
Only you can change your mind. I can only suggest an opportunity that might end the story differently. Election Integrity Network - Who's Counting with Cleta Mitchell (whoscounting.us)
I'd take Mr. P up on his offer if DeWife would go for it. There's a nice reformed church in Saint Pete's. We are living a No Exit play. Even the 'good' options are bad.
After reading what Putin has said in many speeches, I told Hubs we should move there. Or Hungary. I even told Putin, over all the listening devices placed secretly in my home, that we would be willing to relocate. He must have heard me.
Being a boring and dull policy wonk is the way to go!
FYI - most of the electorate do not belong to your Puritanical conception of politics. You win by getting attention and getting people revved up enough to vote. And in the face of Democrat cheating, that might not be enough.
But being a humorless wonk will only work for the few Nation Review readers still around.
On second thought - why would you be reading coffeeandcovid if you think humor/sarcasm/satire isn't important in politics?
Imagine Trump Rally booming audio: "Just Like Joe Biden, Everything Kamal'ya Harris touches turns to SHIT, Everything. She's a trainwreck for this country.. what she'll do to the Black American Community over the next 4 years will be a disaster. Tim Walz is even worse. These two don't want Black Americans to succeed, they want them to accept a position of failure and then blame Capitalism, Whites, Asians, cops, whatever as a political lollypop to keep Democrats in charge of them."
Trump needs to start talking it up like this.
Also: "Cackling Kamel'ya and Geriatric Joe's Foreign Policy amounts to a botched hack-job of interference, abandonment, neglect, and incitement.
This has caused chaos, leading to wars, revolts, economic ruin, widespread suffering and also 4 years of mass migration to our shores and Open Southern Border as a result. KowMala and Genocide Joe's negligent and intentional recklessness, open borders, and collusion with Cartels starting on Day One of THEIR Administration has also made for our Democrat-Run Sanctuary States and Cities to be nearly over-run and turned into crime-ridden crap holes where innocent migrants are trafficked and abused and our precious American citizens, especially Blacks and other minorities are kicked to the curb, pushed to the back of the line, and asked to pay for it all."
"We're hoping America can survive until I can once again be properly and Peacefully inaugurated in January so that we can start fixing this horrible mess they've created for us. The USA and certainly the world can not afford another 4 years of Harris and Biden. Thank you, I Love you all (you know I do), God Bless you and God Bless The United States of America!"
Its not an either/or; what works best is a blend. Trump is squandering the advantage he has on policy and making unforced errors which will loose the election, just as it does in sports.
I agree, that in the face of the likely cheating, Trump must put the country's needs first and foremost by expand his voting base. He has yet to demonstrate that ability and that puts us in peril.
Coffee and Covid will not provide as much humor under a Kackles administration and the diktats which she and her ilk will bring.
Michael, it looks that way to me too. In fact, I keep receiving the impression that Trump is running the campaign more like a reality program than a serious campaign. If so, and if Trump is doing this on purpose, then it is because Trump has a very low opinion of the American electorate's intelligence and information levels ... which is probably a safe assumption.
And so, the state of the nation on all accounts if pretty dismal, by my reckoning.
Let’s not allow this situation to occur until AFTER the DNC finally (and illegally) selects their candidate. I’m putting out odds of what will happen to ole Kammy when next week she starts tanking in the polls behind a trump kennedy pairing. My bet—CIA damage control. Not sure who they will pick to go gunning for but all 3 should be watching their six.
The RFK Jr voter will not automatically jump on the Trump train. Many of these voters were bailing on Biden, bit now the calculus has changed. The RFK Jr voters will be split three ways: Kommiela, Trump, or not vote at all. RFK Jr will need to throw his full weight into endorcing Trump to pull as many of his followers over to Trump as possible. It's not a done deal.
Winston, you make a strong case for how it will play out. It will come down to Kennedy putting everything on the line for his supporters. Kennedy knows that there may not be a 2028 election, or something much worse, if Trump does not win.
Nah I think health of Americans is a priority for him. This is not the case for anyone else in HHS leadership who are there simply to facilitate corporate capture. RFK has long identified this issue and the damage it has caused. One cannot keep up a lie over decades. I believe his concerns are is honestly held.
He is an inveterate lefty. But you are grossly under estimating his expertise and commitment to ending the health insanity ruling in this country. Trump should give him a narrow but powerful role in vaccine and health policy only. And much of that policy ought to be firing and dismantling and making illegal unconstitutional edicts that have been put in place. Which is exactly what RFK talks about. Ending corporate capture and political corruption in the health, Pharma and food industries.
I'm far to the right of Trump. I don't trust him at all: 'More legal immigration!' (for example). I'm fully aware he'll fully disappoint me. That said, what am I going to do? Got to vote for him and hope for the best. With RFK you're in the same position.
Not to speak for Aloha50, but I'm guessing his/her reply would be something like, Trump said in a recent speech that we need a lot more immigrants ("We need people."). There's nothing inherently wrong with legal immigration, IF it's reasonably limited in numbers, with sufficient time for and encouragement of assimilation, is directed at people who love our original form of government and want to preserve it, and isn't added on top of tens of millions of illegal immigrants who generally don't fit the above description. As we did about 100 years ago, we need to pause on trying to get as many immigrants as we can, and instead focus on getting rid of those here illegally,
assimilating those already here legally, equipping Americans to take the jobs that we supposedly need more immigrants for, and encouraging Americans to have babies.
Boy, wouldn't that be giving the deep state the middle finger. I already know who her first firings would be (if they are still with that corrupt agency)
Paul, I remember it well. Lucky Stike Means Fine Tobacco. Not much later I became smart aleck adolescent with hormones kicking in and it became "Lose Stap Means Floppy Tit. Juvenile humor.😆
Agree whole heartedly. My Dream team was DeSantis / Pres., V.P. ?, Joseph Lapado Surgeon General, RFK, Jr. head of the HHS and Trump as the Director of Homeland Security. I would like to think there is space for RFK, Jr. in a Trump administration.
RFK Jr recently ADMITTED he approached BOTH campaigns, first Kamala's and then Trump's, offering to drop out of the presidential race and support one or the other in exchange for a position in their administration. Note that it didn't matter to RFK Jr whose administration as long as he got his high profile position.
After neither took him up on the quid pro quo, he had squandered his political capital.
The more time RFK Jr allows to pass, the less his endorsement will matter. If he stays in the race now, after his loss of popular support (down from a purported high of 14% to 8%), indecision, and fruitless bargaining for power, he will have sealed his reputation as a power-hungry spoiler. His belated support for Trump will be merely a desperate grasp for relevance.
"Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attempted to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris last week in which he would offer to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse her in exchange for a spot in her administration — potentially a cabinet-level position."
It's hard (although not impossible) for me to imagine Kennedy approaching her campaign. The D's have been ruthless to Kennedy or anyone who thinks like Kennedy. Kennedy knows the media and the D's are one in the same and I just can't see him making a deal with the Devil.
I know this is not the same, but there is this at the bottom of the article.
"Kennedy told the Washington Post that he has not had any contact with the Democratic Party since launching his campaign other than through litigation.
“The only contact I have with the DNC is them suing me through intermediaries,” he said."
I appreciate your reasoning, Michael. For all practical purposes, I'd say that RFK Jr made these overtures to the respective opposing campaigns through a trusted deputy who spoke with a trusted deputy of each of the other campaigns. This preserves his plausible deniability, i.e.. “I” - personally - did not speak to so and so…
Relatedly, I believe that he'd be happy no matter who he could persuade to give him a high profile cabinet position. After all, it's not unusual for bitter political enemies to ‘bury the hatchet’ for their mutual benefit.
The NY Post quotes RFK Jr ADMITTING to contacting the Harris campaign to exchange his endorsement for a cabinet post. Google it if you don’t believe it.
He did not “admit” to anything like this and there’s no proof of that. (I’m a Trump supporter so not defending because of being on RFK’s side.) You will need to cite your source because I cannot find anything like that anywhere. What mainstream media reports is rarely reliable or factual these days. That would be no different than saying that Kamala’s campaign said so and they have every reason to lie.
Whilst I agree with the premise that at least these people are principled and honest, I don’t believe that they are best removed from actual practical medicine. I think that these people truly need to be where they can pass on their true skills and attitudes to doctors in training.
McCullough is retired, now shilling, unfortunately, for the very smelly "Wellness Company". I think Kory may have had his license revoked...Hirsch and Kingston don't practice medicine and I think Tenpenny is retired.
Kory didn’t lose his license. He lost his AMIB certification, which is a corrupt meaningless certification as far as qualifications go and politically necessary for most hospitals to allow you to practice within their walls. They pander to the AMIB along with all the other captured medical institutions. But they won’t remove his license because that actually has to prove malpractice or something to lose it. A lot harder in these circumstances. As you demonstrate most people don’t know these things so they can use the politics of the AMIB in the media to make it look like Kory is corrupt even though it’s them that are corrupt.
A lot of the doctors hurt by Covid who had the courage to stand up but aren’t practicing at the moment may want to in the future, so just because they aren’t now doesn’t mean they never will.
100%. I’m also kind of excited about the idea of Elon Musk taking a position focused on eliminating government waste. Boy, if he thinks he’s hated by the establishment now, just wait.
The easy thing to do is denigrate everyone and suspect their motives. I prefer to go by what Musk has done. He fired 80% of the staff at Twitter and it’s a better product now. He supported real free speech at great personal risk to himself. Does he have downsides? Sure, but every single person does. No one is going to believe exactly as I do, heck half the time I don’t even agree with myself from day to day. Does that mean he can’t provide value in this case? No, it doesn’t.
There isn't real free speech on twitter. He hired known censorship goons for his visibility filtering team. It is far better than it was but to pretend it is this platform of unencumbered free speech is just plain false.
Ulterior motive - to gather as much data on us as possible for his own economic ends. That seems much more realistic than some hero on a white horse that many want to see him as.

RFK for Attorney General!
(Also, anyone else been glued to their keyboard going ‘REFRESH REFRESH REFRESH CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR C&C’S TAKE ON THIS’?)
RFK would be perfect for Secretary of HHS. Then he can gut the CDC, FDA, and NIH. To add another 3 letter acronym - LFG!

Funny how its “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” but some think murder is a right.
Right! Kill the unborn, kill the elderly, kill the disabled or otherwise abled...
Most of our Federal government is unconstitutional as I understand it.
Yes, I think you are completely correct‼️
You mean current Administration ?

This is the Justice Gorsuch who just voted for allowing males to continue participating in women's sports, right?
He dissented from a ruling that blew a hole in the Biden admins' Title IX expansion.
Do you know why he dissented?
Yeah, here in Pennsylvania we had lovely "Rachel" Levine who gave us this best advice during the height of covid, "wash your hands for as long as it takes to sing Happy Birthday."

Oh man. That would mean my home state of California would make me get a hysterectomy, as a 55 yearold man. Thanks bro.
And your dude hysterectomy would be paid for by the state as well. 🤣😜
No, it means the state can not pay for abortions. No government has any right to tell you what to do with your own body.
...except for the Biden regime which forced people to get the covid DeathVax or lose their jobs.
...except for the Biden regime and Raytheon water boy SecDef Austin who forced the military to get the covid DeathVax or be kicked out of the military with a less than honorable discharge.
Yeah, they shouldn't,
but government attracts those who seek to control others.
Correct. Too many people blindly believe Trump (and/or Kennedy) will come in in January 2025 (if we get past November) and wipe out all the governmental agencies and fire everyone. It isn't going to happen. Too many Q believers (socialist psyop) and X22 believers. People, those two things were a socialist psyop and you fell for it. It was easy to do. I did for a few weeks until I realized nothing made sense and date markers kept being moved. One way to know something is fake? The dates keep being moved. Now get up, wipe yourself off and come to reality.

Michael, it looks that way to me too. In fact, I keep receiving the impression that Trump is running the campaign more like a reality program than a serious campaign. If so, and if Trump is doing this on purpose, then it is because Trump has a very low opinion of the American electorate's intelligence and information levels ... which is probably a safe assumption.
And so, the state of the nation on all accounts if pretty dismal, by my reckoning.
"making stupid remarks that he is more beautiful than Kamala."
A joke...a funny joke at that.
Let’s not allow this situation to occur until AFTER the DNC finally (and illegally) selects their candidate. I’m putting out odds of what will happen to ole Kammy when next week she starts tanking in the polls behind a trump kennedy pairing. My bet—CIA damage control. Not sure who they will pick to go gunning for but all 3 should be watching their six.
Big Mike (and I'm not ruling out Old Hill for VP)
The RFK Jr voter will not automatically jump on the Trump train. Many of these voters were bailing on Biden, bit now the calculus has changed. The RFK Jr voters will be split three ways: Kommiela, Trump, or not vote at all. RFK Jr will need to throw his full weight into endorcing Trump to pull as many of his followers over to Trump as possible. It's not a done deal.
Winston, you make a strong case for how it will play out. It will come down to Kennedy putting everything on the line for his supporters. Kennedy knows that there may not be a 2028 election, or something much worse, if Trump does not win.
Well, by God we got our answer. They are both in earnest! LFG indeed! A great day. Let us pray Trump/RFKjr comes to fruition against evil forces.
RFK will be a disaster once inside the tent. He is a big govt democrat. He’s not a MAGA guy at all. He’s an opportunist. Don’t trust him one bit.
Hmm I understand your skepticism, I am not sure I trust him either but he might be the right person to gut the FDA, CDC etc.
I agree he has been gunning for them and calling out their bullshit for decades.
No one in government can gut any governmental agency.
Nah I think health of Americans is a priority for him. This is not the case for anyone else in HHS leadership who are there simply to facilitate corporate capture. RFK has long identified this issue and the damage it has caused. One cannot keep up a lie over decades. I believe his concerns are is honestly held.
I am eternally grateful to him for exposing Fauci in his book, "The Real Anthony Fauci."
He is an inveterate lefty. But you are grossly under estimating his expertise and commitment to ending the health insanity ruling in this country. Trump should give him a narrow but powerful role in vaccine and health policy only. And much of that policy ought to be firing and dismantling and making illegal unconstitutional edicts that have been put in place. Which is exactly what RFK talks about. Ending corporate capture and political corruption in the health, Pharma and food industries.
I'm far to the right of Trump. I don't trust him at all: 'More legal immigration!' (for example). I'm fully aware he'll fully disappoint me. That said, what am I going to do? Got to vote for him and hope for the best. With RFK you're in the same position.
What is wrong with legal immigration?
Not to speak for Aloha50, but I'm guessing his/her reply would be something like, Trump said in a recent speech that we need a lot more immigrants ("We need people."). There's nothing inherently wrong with legal immigration, IF it's reasonably limited in numbers, with sufficient time for and encouragement of assimilation, is directed at people who love our original form of government and want to preserve it, and isn't added on top of tens of millions of illegal immigrants who generally don't fit the above description. As we did about 100 years ago, we need to pause on trying to get as many immigrants as we can, and instead focus on getting rid of those here illegally,
assimilating those already here legally, equipping Americans to take the jobs that we supposedly need more immigrants for, and encouraging Americans to have babies.
Sounds good. 👍
He could just be reacting to the 'Trump is against immigrants' narrative I still see and hear Democrats spewing.
Remember, this is politics!
Yes! Don’t need him at AG, plenty of quality people for that job.
Like Paxton from TX?
Like Sidney Powell.
Boy, wouldn't that be giving the deep state the middle finger. I already know who her first firings would be (if they are still with that corrupt agency)
Name 3. And not Paxton or Sidney Powell.
Hey Yuri. I’m not sure what LFG is but you reminded me of LSMFT commercials from my childhood.
Also the chant ‘Kennedy Kennedy is our man, Nixon belongs in the garbage can!’
How old are you?
Paul, I remember it well. Lucky Stike Means Fine Tobacco. Not much later I became smart aleck adolescent with hormones kicking in and it became "Lose Stap Means Floppy Tit. Juvenile humor.😆
Let’s effing go.
Yes and Paxton or Bailey for AG
Or Sidney Powell.
Kash Patel
Yes and yes! And several Amen's! There has to be some other qualified conservative legal mind for AG.
Agree whole heartedly. My Dream team was DeSantis / Pres., V.P. ?, Joseph Lapado Surgeon General, RFK, Jr. head of the HHS and Trump as the Director of Homeland Security. I would like to think there is space for RFK, Jr. in a Trump administration.
RFK Jr recently ADMITTED he approached BOTH campaigns, first Kamala's and then Trump's, offering to drop out of the presidential race and support one or the other in exchange for a position in their administration. Note that it didn't matter to RFK Jr whose administration as long as he got his high profile position.
After neither took him up on the quid pro quo, he had squandered his political capital.
The more time RFK Jr allows to pass, the less his endorsement will matter. If he stays in the race now, after his loss of popular support (down from a purported high of 14% to 8%), indecision, and fruitless bargaining for power, he will have sealed his reputation as a power-hungry spoiler. His belated support for Trump will be merely a desperate grasp for relevance.
Kathleen it was reported that he approached both camps, but I did not see hard proof. I did not dig deep. By any chance do you have a good source?
Quoting NY Post August 14, 2024:
(See link below.)
"Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attempted to arrange a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris last week in which he would offer to drop out of the 2024 race and endorse her in exchange for a spot in her administration — potentially a cabinet-level position."
https://nypost.com/2024/08/14/us-news/rfk-jr-sought-meeting-with-kamala-harris-to-discuss-cabinet-job-in-exchange-for-endorsement/
It's hard (although not impossible) for me to imagine Kennedy approaching her campaign. The D's have been ruthless to Kennedy or anyone who thinks like Kennedy. Kennedy knows the media and the D's are one in the same and I just can't see him making a deal with the Devil.
I know this is not the same, but there is this at the bottom of the article.
"Kennedy told the Washington Post that he has not had any contact with the Democratic Party since launching his campaign other than through litigation.
“The only contact I have with the DNC is them suing me through intermediaries,” he said."
I appreciate your reasoning, Michael. For all practical purposes, I'd say that RFK Jr made these overtures to the respective opposing campaigns through a trusted deputy who spoke with a trusted deputy of each of the other campaigns. This preserves his plausible deniability, i.e.. “I” - personally - did not speak to so and so…
Relatedly, I believe that he'd be happy no matter who he could persuade to give him a high profile cabinet position. After all, it's not unusual for bitter political enemies to ‘bury the hatchet’ for their mutual benefit.
That’s a heck of a lot different than “Kennedy admitted to”
The NY Post quotes RFK Jr ADMITTING to contacting the Harris campaign to exchange his endorsement for a cabinet post. Google it if you don’t believe it.
He did not “admit” to anything like this and there’s no proof of that. (I’m a Trump supporter so not defending because of being on RFK’s side.) You will need to cite your source because I cannot find anything like that anywhere. What mainstream media reports is rarely reliable or factual these days. That would be no different than saying that Kamala’s campaign said so and they have every reason to lie.
Dr. Kory would be better, without the massive ego.
He could include in his staff, Doctors Ardis, Cole, McCullough, and people like Hirsch, Kingston, Tenpenny...
Whilst I agree with the premise that at least these people are principled and honest, I don’t believe that they are best removed from actual practical medicine. I think that these people truly need to be where they can pass on their true skills and attitudes to doctors in training.
McCullough is retired, now shilling, unfortunately, for the very smelly "Wellness Company". I think Kory may have had his license revoked...Hirsch and Kingston don't practice medicine and I think Tenpenny is retired.
Kory didn’t lose his license. He lost his AMIB certification, which is a corrupt meaningless certification as far as qualifications go and politically necessary for most hospitals to allow you to practice within their walls. They pander to the AMIB along with all the other captured medical institutions. But they won’t remove his license because that actually has to prove malpractice or something to lose it. A lot harder in these circumstances. As you demonstrate most people don’t know these things so they can use the politics of the AMIB in the media to make it look like Kory is corrupt even though it’s them that are corrupt.
A lot of the doctors hurt by Covid who had the courage to stand up but aren’t practicing at the moment may want to in the future, so just because they aren’t now doesn’t mean they never will.
LET'S GO !
Why is there a Secretary of HHS, though?!
Abolish them!
...and THEN, dissolve his own agency, and move on to the next one to be scuttled.
The FDA, as it was run 30 years ago was respectable. And I think we need that FDA, not the FDA we now have.
100%. I’m also kind of excited about the idea of Elon Musk taking a position focused on eliminating government waste. Boy, if he thinks he’s hated by the establishment now, just wait.
Yeah, I would love another technocrat who loves transhumanism near the WH.....
The easy thing to do is denigrate everyone and suspect their motives. I prefer to go by what Musk has done. He fired 80% of the staff at Twitter and it’s a better product now. He supported real free speech at great personal risk to himself. Does he have downsides? Sure, but every single person does. No one is going to believe exactly as I do, heck half the time I don’t even agree with myself from day to day. Does that mean he can’t provide value in this case? No, it doesn’t.
There isn't real free speech on twitter. He hired known censorship goons for his visibility filtering team. It is far better than it was but to pretend it is this platform of unencumbered free speech is just plain false.
Ulterior motive - to gather as much data on us as possible for his own economic ends. That seems much more realistic than some hero on a white horse that many want to see him as.
