Surprised? Maybe, maybe not.
Always hopeful folks will learn kindness and grace are far healthier than selfishness and hate.

Trump Signals a ‘Seismic Shift,’ Shocking the Washington Establishment
The president-elect’s early transition moves amount to a generational test of a system as he seeks to rewrite the balance of power and install lieutenants to blow up key parts of government.

In March 2020, Bhattacharya wrote in the WSJ that the Covid epidemic might cause 20K-40K deaths & thus widespread protection efforts like quarantines weren't necessary. The pandemic has ended up killing 1.2 million Americans & that was with the development of a vaccine. He's unfit for this job.
The Washington Post has reported that Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya will likely be Trump’s NIH director pick.

Here’s everything you need to know about the man who has spent years advocating for mass COVID infection.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it.

Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

MAGA Republicans do not have a mandate to govern as they wish and deep down, they know it. This is why even after a narrow win they want to preemptively quash any dissent.

Whether it be abortion, birth control, marriage, schools, libraries, or now it seems, voting, they demand total submission.
Larry Elder proposes abolishing term limits for presidents, saying Donald Trump should be brought back "over and over and over again."

He then adds: "Maybe we ought to have term limits for voters. If voters keep voting for Democrats, they ought to lose the right to vote."

This week, I filed HJR 80 – proposing a constitutional amendment to protect essential healthcare in Texas, restoring abortion access and protecting IVF. Texans deserve the freedom to make personal healthcare decisions without Big Government interference. capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/H... #txlege

I am old enough to remember the terror of children I knew personally who were consigned to life inside an "iron lung," because of polio infections in the days before effective, mandatory vaccines

Guess we will soon see which way the Supreme Court will go… to uphold the orange criminal’s illegal revenge tactics or uphold their Oaths of Office. Maybe they will rethink that immunity ruling.
