The links on the dog leash are slowly being removed, a few at a time.

Schedule F was finalized today. It gives more power to POTUS, making it easier to fire up to 50,000 federal workers.

Good News! 28 states have publicly rejected Kennedy’s vaccine schedule.

They choose to follow evidence-based guidance from experts like the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Until this, there were roughly 4,000 political appointees that could be fired at will.

This new policy greatly expands those who they consider to have policy-related roles.

This is the latest move "taken to replace nonpartisan civil servants with employees who are ideologically aligned..."

Prof Steve Keen has been highlighting the flaws in William Nordhaus' infamous DICE model for years. If there was any justice in the world, the Nobel Committee would create another Memorial Prize to correct them giving it to the wrong man.
William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.

A major enabler, funder and amplifier of Bjorn Lomborg is Bill Gates, who simultaneously sought to position himself as a climate hero (fooling some people who really should have known better).

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.
