By far the scariest thing about the story that's emerging is that a young man just decided to murder a major public figure, then was very much able to without a ton of forethought. There are a lot of obvious concerns raised by that story! One of them is not, "Did he know anybody who was trans?"!

IMO the obvious thing here is they think OSF and Ford Foundation bankrolls liberal/left movements and that by "shutting them off" they are shutting down the "left" - they essentially share Burnham's managerialist ideology and think social liberalism is a conspiracy of elites.
Honestly the projection here is just off the charts since this is exactly how the GOP operates. Democrats don't have the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society Rolodexes to staff our governments like Miller claims. And it's the GOP that has worked to unravel everything good about society.
The networks Stephen Miller intends to dismantle are "criminal justice reformers." Law enforcement is so thoroughly politicized to the right, they won't even push against this.

Being asked about crazy inflated numbers by antivaccine groups regarding how vaccines kids get. ANS: we went from vaccinating vs 8 diseases when I was a resident in the 1980s, to 16 diseases today. But of those 16, 11 diseases are combined into just two shots. Breakdowns below:

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor.
In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.
