In 2018 Elon Musk called the British diver who helped rescue 12 children from a flooded cave in Thailand, a peadophile.
It was a complete lie and it should have been a huge red flag for us all.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

That an alcoholic weekend talk show host cosplaying the SecDef colossally screwed up, isn’t all that stunning.
What’s stunning is how republicans will ignore this dangerous breach of security because they’re too afraid to tell Donald Trump he was wrong about Pete Hegseth.
