Do we want a person appointed as Surgeon General who went to medical school in the Caribbean?
Hi Roscoe,
As someone who has visited a couple Caribbean hospitals and urgent care centers over the years I have found the healthcare to be better than the current healthcare system in the US. I don’t care where someone went to school. Are they smart? Do they have common sense? Can they critically think?
In the era of college wokeness I am not as impressed with degrees from Harvard, Yale, and Stanford that once held such prestige. Her degree from American University of the Caribbean is not why I don’t think Nesheiwat is a good fit. It was her promotion and acceptance of the authoritarian measures deemed by the NY government that is.
More to the point on J6, he has a little over a month to get this right. He should, through truth social, twatter, or whatever put out a statement that says in effect, if Garland and FJB doesn’t release/pardon these modern political prisoners, He will direct the new AG to go after everyone involved. Maximum prison time, with extra prejudice, for everyone, including FJB, RatfuckGarland, and all the congress critters and their family members who participated in the show trail of this outlandish and cruel act of political grandstanding.
Such an action would serve three purposes. One, it forces these communists to own up to their extraordinary lie about the ‘attack on our democracy,’ and two, it saves Trump some of his dwindling political capitol, of which he will need after the very first poor old lady is rounded up and sent packing back to Squatemala. Third, it will also produce a biblical flood of media tears. Face it, they constantly claim Trump will weaponize the DOJ against his enemies, and he never has. He might as well put some bite in his damn bark. Will he do any of this? Will he even pardon the J6ers? Doubtful. But like RG, I will withhold judgment on that til he takes office. I can wait, as I’m used to being disappointed by him.
We should have picked our own vegetables and we probably should have voted for none of the above.
“I am beginning to think that may have been a mistake”
Voting is always a mistake. All it accomplishes is authorizing the results.
What if they held an election and nobody voted? From where and from whom would they get their “mandate”?
Voting is always mistake in our current system. Voting implies consent to be governed by that very system.
The idea of democracy as an acceptable form of governance is a lie.
Gang rape is democracy in action.
Nothing changes as long as people believe they can vote harder and vote their way out.
I am not regretting my vote yet. I am willing to allow him the opportunity to be inaugurated and see what he can accomplish. I voted for Trump 3x. Sometimes I had to hold my nose to do it, but I made a decision based on the options provided to me.
Am I going to like everything he does or who he picks? Nope. I also don’t like everything my husband does, my kids do, or (very, very rarely) what I do. It is about accountability. If I threw in the towel every time I didn’t like something I would be a very lonely and bitter woman, licking my wounds, and playing the victim card.
I voted for him. I own it. We are never going to agree 100% with someone else. Ever. The question becomes does the good outweigh the bad? I will wait and see.
If life has taught me anything it has showed that it is ineffective and foolhardy to try to anticipate and forecast it. Life never turns out how we expect it to. There are good times and bad times and we have to roll with the punches. Couldas, wouldas, and shouldas are a waste of brain function. Let’s be grateful for each new day and deal with the challenges as they arise and not create new ones that haven’t.
Well, RFK Jr and Jay Bhattacharya have landed positions in the administration. Vivek Ramaswamy is a vaccine skeptic & has influence over Trump. At least there’s some counterweight, I guess.
Hi Mike,
Speaking of RFK Jr becoming HHS Secretary, have you noticed how the pharmaceutical industry is in out and out PANIC over that? They, along with many politicians & even corporate media, are trying to frighten people into believing Kennedy is a “Danger to public health” & will likely do their dirtiest to make sure he either doesn’t become HHS Secretary, or, if he does get in, stop his MAHA agenda.
Yeah, I’m sure the knives are out. His saving grace is the Kennedy namesake, but, I think the libtards in his family have distanced themselves. Keep in mind, that RFK Jr is right on when it comes to American health. On all other issues, he isn’t exactly Ron Paul.
Mike,
RFK Jr was also one of those people who got COVID right and dropped truth bombs about other issues that the establishment wanted to keep HIDDEN from the public. I once thought he was a Quack over the climate change thing, but he did once say in an interview with Kim Iversen that billionaires were using “climate change” as an excuse for implementing global totalitarianism. And now, people on “The Left” and establishment media calls RFK Jr a “Quack Anti-vaxxer”.
As for American health, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren says she “looks forward” to asking RFK Jr questions during his confirmation hearing. However, she is one of those people who says he’s a danger to public health, and considering Warren herself got lots of money from Big Pharma, any questions she asks will probably be tilted toward maintaining the status quo or frighten people into believing that diseases will come back because of ANTI-VAXXERS.
All we can do is imagine. We imagine what might be. We imagine what he’ll do. We imagine what she’ll do too. Then, based on whatever fog of information we have, we decide.
We could have stayed home. Clearly that’s what the Bernie Bros and old school democrats did. But we didn’t. We imagined what he might do, and went with our gut feeling. I don’t recall him ever promising to pardon the J6 protesters, but I didn’t listen to all his campaign speeches.
As for many of his nominees for cabinet positions… Well, we just don’t know who else was asked to apply. We don’t know who’s advising his advisors. The CFR seems to be popping upon everyone’s résumé again. We know that the left is all too eager to DOX and openly threaten people they don’t like (which is somehow protected speech). All your past indulgences will be brought up in the confirmation hearings. You’ll be smeared by the New York Times. And once you’re in, it’s a big commitment with little reward. If you have any integrity at all you’re not coming out of that time ahead, except maybe you can get on the lecture circuit.
And I imagine a lot of people who would be qualified and on our side (as you put it) don’t think the system can be reformed in 4 years, even with a friendly congress and Supreme Court. More of them probably don’t think Trump can accomplish anything. Heck, the lower courts will tie up anything he does for the next decade. Last time he wasn’t able (willing) to keep his promises, what makes things different this time?
