You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

A lot of the ‘new media’ folks you see don’t really want to be journalists, they want to be celebrities. There’s a big difference and ‘we the people’ have suffered the consequences of ‘infotaiment’ mightily. Seek out more tips and less clips.

It also costs money. A lot alotta money to make changes like this. Every instance. Every list. Every website. Every purchase order. Every everything.

Talk about GOVERNMENT WASTE?
Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
