    Trump faces Republican backlash over Kennedy’s autism and vaccine claims

    excerpt:

    Leading the rebellion is Bill Cassidy, a Republican senator for Louisiana and chair of the Senate health committee, who previously voted to confirm Kennedy to become secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), despite having voiced misgivings about his anti-vaccine views.

    “HHS should release the new data that it has to support this claim,” Cassidy, a medical doctor, wrote on social media. “The preponderance of evidence shows that this is not the case. The concern is that women will be left with no options to manage pain in pregnancy.”

    Cassidy voted to confirm RFK Jr.

    He was foolsh for thinking he was going to receive anything rational.

    Cassidy supposedly had a gentleman's agreement with RFK Jr. that he wouldn't tamper with the vaccine board after being confirmed.

    After being confirmed, RFK Jr. fired everyone on the vaccine board.

    Park Police removed the statue a day after it appeared.


    Park Police remove Trump-Epstein statue from National Mall | wusa9.com

    excerpt:

    "A permit for the statue said it is allowed to remain on the mall until 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. Park Police told WUSA9 that it was removed for not being in compliance with the permit, but they did not explain how it violated the permit.

    The permit does include a clause that it can be revoked at any time as long as the permittee was notified of the reason at least 24 hours in advance.

    According to the permit, the statue also had full-time security."

    Another sophomoric move by Trump.


    Trump hangs autopen image instead of Biden portrait in presidential photo gallery

    excerpt:

    "President Donald Trump is once again making decorative changes to the White House -- disparaging former President Joe Biden in the process.

    The White House has installed a new presidential portrait gallery along the West Wing Colonnade, unveiling the wall of photos on Wednesday. While the new "Presidential Walk of Fame" features portraits of all the presidents in gilded frames, Biden's portrait is replaced with a picture of an autopen."

    Federal judge refuses to reinstate eight former inspectors general fired by Trump administration

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON -- A federal judge refused on Wednesday to reinstate eight former inspectors general who sued after the Trump administration fired them with no warning and little explanation.

    U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes said that while President Donald Trump likely violated the federal law governing the process for removing the non-partisan watchdogs from office, but the firings didn’t cause enough irreparable harm to justify reinstating the watchdogs before the lawsuit is resolved."

    Trump alleges triple sabotage against him by the U.N.


    Escalatorgate: Trump alleges ‘triple sabotage’ after technical mishaps at UN

    excerpts:

    “This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN,” Trump declared, demanding an “immediate” investigation into the matter, a scandal so Trumpian it has earned the name “escalatorgate”.


    In his lengthy post on Wednesday afternoon, Trump pointed to a report in the Times of London newspaper on Sunday saying that UN staff members had joked that they would turn off the escalators and “tell him they ran out of money” – a jab at the sweeping US funding cuts.

    “The people that did it should be arrested!” Trump wrote.

    Harvard, like all Americans, can’t be punished by the government for speaking freely – and a federal court decision upholds decades of precedents saying so

    Harvard, like all Americans, can’t be punished by the government for speaking freely – and a federal court decision upholds decades of precedents saying so

    excerpt:

    "Long history of retaliation

    While American myth celebrates the idea that the United States welcomes dissent, the government has a history of punishing protesters.

    The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 criminalized criticism of the federal government. During World War I, the Espionage and Sedition Acts were used to imprison activists and silence newspapers. In the 1950s, Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s crusade against alleged communists extended to universities, with faculty losing jobs and having their careers destroyed.

    In each of those episodes, dissent was framed as dangerous to national security or social stability. And in each case, the tools of government – whether criminal law, congressional investigations or funding threats – were used to discipline voices that strayed from the party line. The impulse to punish institutions for perceived ideological deviance is part of a recurring American story."

    Trump must have had a traumatic experience with wind as a child that left him mentally damaged.


    Trump’s UN Address Was a Tragedy of Shakespearian Proportions

    excerpt:

    "The speech contained the most extensive condemnation of green energy and what Trump considers the climate change hoax that we have ever heard from a public official since possibly the invention of the steam engine. Science be damned. Oligarchs love fossil fuels or what Trump noted that he demands White House staffers refer to as “beautiful, clean coal.” Windmills, windmills on the other hand, are the pinwheels of Satan. (Someday we will get to the bottom of Trump’s anemomenophobia. Clearly, he had a bad experience with something that blew him the wrong way as a child. Or more recently.)"
