    Good morning :-))

    AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) – 1000s of college students entering clinicals not given proper informed consent & still mandated COVID death vax.

    Yes, it is May 2025 & the most dangerous, ineffective shot is STILL required to graduate

    TVASSF – these fools are the healthcare professionals of the future.

    God help us!

    “It can’t be understated how massively Israel f–ked up.”

    What. The Literal. WHO are you talking to? Are you the only person on the whole green planet that didn’t already know – before he was even nominated – that this was the case? …And yet you, supergenius, think Trump and 500,000 other humans in D.C. didn’t already know this? JHC, sir. You’re embarrassing.

    The news story is that this was happening, as always happens, and water is WET and we DID something about it. That’s the story. OF. COURSE. HE. WAS. Of course. And of course they ordered us to Iran war for Freeeeeeee on their behalf. And OF COURSE to get confirmed Hegseth and everyone had to claim they’d super-dooper do it all.

    The news is that they didn’t. Go pound sand, you lugs. Something changed.

    Everyone here will be furious and trebuchet Trump into the sun because he did it in 110 days and not in the first 30 seconds. ‘Cause apparently never worked a day in their lives or ever had real strategic challenges. Or would nuke the White House, and gas all their allies, everyone on the Right because he “Only” was bounced to the UN for now.

    Orrrrrr, here’s a thought: NO WAR WITH IRAN. We left Israel spinning in the wind. We’re clearly leaving Ukraine. You can TAKE THE WIN, you dopes.

    Nope, that’s not what I see online, everyone’s more mad than ever. Trump didn’t fix everything in the first month — of 2017 — so he’s a jerk and we should give up forever. That’s what soldiers do, right? Give up? First play after the coin toss, ball didn’t move forward: we thrown down our helmets and walk off the field, ceding the game to the other side. #Winning! Then we’ll prove out Purity Spiral! None of us ever dun wrong (because we gave up to pure evil before making any unforced errors)

    Yeah, Trump must be remembered as a weak weak man. Because he’s the first time YOU noticed, you dope, because of him, this has been going on since 1960, and this is the first time since Dallas that we bounced them TF out of there. “Weak” is when you do something. “Strong” is when you so slavishly do what you’re told nobody even remembers orders being given.

    Yeah, anyway, like yesterday, Krainer shows we’re bombing Yemen BECAUSE it embargoes Israel. Now we declared a victory and left Israel isolated. He wants to insult and remove Trump for this, how #Opposite can you be?

    MAHA: yeah, that’s a big battle. You can see why they put a big hitter like RFK there, and they may still sink him. Shanahan: so they say these things to get attention on the people and events? Because what did she really say? A: That she doesn’t know any facts at all. That’s the story. So I’m reading around, like “Is this it?” Yup, that’s it. Rumor, innuendo, speculation. That’s top news now. No sources, no additional facts. “I can’t understand this, because I’m not inside with any info, so RFK is a poopy-pants.” Wow, pure genius.

    Congress: Pharma. Umm…aside from that, didn’t we JUST do that during the confirmation hearings? With Bernie for tops? That was 110 days ago. Reality exists, maybe we remember.

    Congress/vaccines. Sooooo, this Congressman is my doctor now? He’s a scientist and created/read the studies?

    “Trump Touts “Great Progress” In China Tariff Talks, Suggests “Total Reset” (ZH)

    Since everything is a lie, Duran says China DGAF about tariffs or talks, and it is Trump chasing them down to discuss, get tariffs done quickly. Then China downgrades it from “Negotiation” to “Discussion” on their sites. Okaaaaay. Noted.

    {China} “Sold 8.1%” at what profit? And they’re doing so well they took all their financial numbers – which were already fiction – and shut them off. There is no reporting on any numbers at all. …Which means, of course that the Chinese economy is doing wonderfully, never better, but shhhhh, it’s a secret.

    Of course we were already set for them to re-export through 3rd nations, since they’d been doing that for years already. What do we know then? Basically nothing. Thanks.

    “US President Donald Trump has said, adding that a deal was reached following a “long night of talks” mediated by Washington.”

    Why us? Can’t we just not sometimes?

    “Shove these peace plans up your pangender arses!”

    Is this for real? Not that I disapprove or anything. Following the Duran they AGAIN negotiate only with themselves, then AGAIN finally meet Russia after airing everything in the news for months, and hand Moscow a de facto ultimatum. Wow, breathtaking insult. Since this is all the SAME thing they ALREADY did, 1, 2, 3, 10 years ago, Russia then says, “No.” After which they throw a toddler tantrum, go back to their safe space, and do it all over again.

    Oh yeah: and as the next story, if they don’t, they’ll “Sanction” Russia all over again.

    The position of the Mentally Ill and Retarded.

    Since sanctions seem to make Russia stronger, I can only hope we can be sanctioned 28,595 times. Then we can become a world power again.

    “drive a wedge between erstwhile WWII allies Russia and Britain comes down to rivalry and jealousy,”

    I believe no such thing. They are lizards who have no such emotions. It’s raw mercantilism, of gaining physical power. Galloway is thinking like a human, and it’s blinding him. They are not. So he is missing something else: IF England has no military AND they still want war, well the generals all know that. They’re not stupid. So what’s going on?

    They have nothing, and no way to make anything, because they’re far more broke than they’ve let on. So having nothing to lose, they are going to start a war that kills 30,000 Brits and pray the U.S. will just stand up and nuke Moscow on general principles. …So basically it’s a re-branding of Plan A. They feel the only problem is, they haven’t played “Damsel in distress” HARD enough. Not enough NATO heads have cried openly on national TV – ‘cause they know how much we like and respect that.

    Anyway, there’s no army, because there was never any need for one: they were always going to nuke Russia first, last, and often.

    “Dobrindt has argued that the party should be made irrelevant through good governance rather than drastic measures.”

    You mean like via democratic will of the People? Surely you jest, sir. WE schmarty-schmartz make the policies, then we jam it down their throats with a tube, like a duck.

    “National Liberation Front (FLN) in Algeria didn’t need textbooks to define fascism. They lived it.”

    Soooo…you mean in contrast to all Europe? Who also lived it? In the exact same period and scale?

    the USSR made its position clear: the war against fascism did not end in 1945. It had merely shifted geography.”

    Yes, so we don’t want you oppressed under fake western “Democracy” but under fake Russian “Communism”. Ever so much better. There are a lot of meta-assumptions running around this article. White Man Bad.

    “VP: I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It’s PATHETIC,” Hegseth replied. “But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close. Question is timing.”

    Totally organic leak and not contrived at all. Especially in hindsight.

    The judge thing is more complicated and delicate than we give credit for. Like how Civil Rights set up a new law, Republicans and conservatives said would bite us in the -ss, being not supportable, and did. So if we set up that judges can’t review. Can’t stop Presidents or Congress? Yeah, no. They need to. Or the opposite. Or how do we “Discuss” this? One guy, the Chief Justice, just chucks them out when he feels like? What if the courts do the opposite of the Will of the People? We then just start defying all courts and use force and pressure? No, no, and no.

    Looked at that way, we are sort of having the right social discussion. Who should do what and why.

    Chinese bamboo has tripled”
    …so what was there before? Forest?

    Anyway, they’re doing it wrong: you’re supposed to complain and do nothing. Doing something is “Work” and you might fail. Worst of all, you’d be a “Capitalist”. Ew. Invent and invest in capital, hire and pay people? What could be worse than that?

    Example: Going around the internet “Pap smear is the most hostile, invasive, backward medical procedure. Doctors think nothing of women…” WHAT the actual f—k? DOCTORS ARE WOMEN. For 100 years. One hunned. But BECAUSE of this, no WOMEN doctors did any work to fix this, now you, Ms. Feminist, “Thee/They” are ALSO complaining about it and ALSO saying that there are no women doctors, women can’t, don’t, and shouldn’t invent anything, because some MAN needs to do it for them, duh. …All those are root meta-assumptions. Every. Day. it’s like this.

    Anyway, back to Bamboo paper, people who’ve never been outside a city. Ummm…and then the bamboo forest looks like what? Yeah, they cut down the boreal forest and planted bamboo. Same forest is same missing as with paper mills. That doesn’t make this wrong, but to me they’ve cut down a virgin forest, planted a cornfield, and called it “Green”. It’s Also green, as green as trees are, so it’s all the same, right? Only to retards who’ve never left the city or walked off a parking lot. Have you seen southern pine plantations? Same thing. I mean, it’s nice that it’s trees and all, and are like 30-year cycles, but ultimately it’s just a tree-sized cornfield.

    Okay, compare to this:
    Well, I’ll find the video for you, but essentially it’s Infinity undergrowth pines throughout all North American West, which build up and then demand a forest fire so large it destroys the king trees. …Thanks to us being retards, and Government “helping” the entire continent is like this now. Solution? Well, controlled buirns like the natives once did, BUT: cut out these small trash trees, don’t waste them, and turn them to paper instead of fire.

    Now they may not be as helpfully near a road or whatever, but it’s impossible to believe not enough of them are, or can co-gen a biofuel power plant. This depends on price of oil and machines, both of which are real cheap. But no! We outlaw doing anything with them, requiring forest fires that burn entire states to the ground, all humans included. That’s environmental! USING the plants first instead? NOT environmental.

    @Germ – It’s a supply/demand thing. Anyone who doesn’t buy into the party line is eliminated up front, reducing the supply — resulting in higher prices. Anyone who does buy buy into the party line stands a chance of early disability or death, also reducing supply — resulting in higher prices.

    It’s win-win!

    KEEPING PROMISES TO VETERANS AND ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL CENTER FOR WARRIOR INDEPENDENCE
    Executive Orders
    May 9, 2025

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

    Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Our Nation’s security, prosperity, and freedom would not be possible without our veterans. Many service members paid the ultimate sacrifice. Many others bear visible and invisible wounds from their service. Too many veterans are homeless in America. Each veteran deserves our gratitude.

    Yet the Federal Government has not always treated veterans like the heroes they are. During the previous administration, unaccountable bureaucrats treated them shamefully, failing veterans when they needed help most and betraying the taxpayers who rightfully expect better.

    The story of the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center is indicative of this failure. More than one hundred years ago, Senator John Percival Jones and Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker generously donated hundreds of acres of land that they owned in West Los Angeles on the condition that it be used to house disabled veterans. The campus once featured a chapel, billiard hall, 1,000-seat theater, and housed about 6,000 veterans, but the Federal Government has since allowed this crown jewel of veteran care to deteriorate over the last few decades.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (Department) leased parts of the property to a private school, private companies, and the baseball team of the University of California, Los Angeles, sometimes at significantly below-market prices. As of 2024, there were approximately 3,000 homeless veterans in Los Angeles, more than in any other city in the country and accounting for about 10 percent of all of America’s homeless veterans. Many of these heroes live in squalor in Los Angeles’s infamous “skid row.”

    During my first term, I signed legislation to increase accountability and expand benefits and choices for veterans in accessing care, and my second term will build on those efforts. Accountability will return to the Department. Veterans around the Nation will have more choices in care, benefits, and services. The VA campus in West Los Angeles will become the National Center for Warrior Independence with facilities and resources to help our veterans earn back their self-sufficiency.

    Sec. 2. Establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs (Secretary) shall take all appropriate action to:

    (a) designate a National Center for Warrior Independence on the West Los Angeles VA Campus in which homeless veterans in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and around the Nation can seek and receive the care, benefits, and services to which they are entitled;

    (b) work with other municipalities and VA facilities to ensure that homeless veterans outside the Los Angeles metropolitan area who want to avail themselves of the National Center for Warrior Independence are provided the means to do so;

    (c) in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and the heads of any other relevant executive departments or agencies, ensure that funds that may have been spent on housing or other services for illegal aliens are redirected to construct, establish, and maintain this National Center for Warrior Independence;

    (d) work to restore self-sufficiency and the warrior ethos among homeless veterans through any guidance, requirements, or services needed to ensure that homeless veterans can access housing, receive substance abuse or addiction treatment, and return to productive work and community engagement; and

    (e) within 120 days of the date of this order, present an action plan to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, to meet these directives and restore the capacity to house up to 6,000 homeless veterans at the National Center for Warrior Independence by January 1, 2028.

    Sec. 3. Voucher Program. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall, in consultation with the Secretary, use vouchers to support homeless veterans in the Los Angeles metropolitan area and around the Nation with respect to this effort.

    Sec. 4. Restoring Accountability at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Secretary shall take the following steps to restore accountability and excellent service at the Department:

    (a) take appropriate action against individuals who have committed misconduct, making full use of and in accordance with the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-41); and

    (b) investigate and take steps to rectify the previous administration’s decision to rehire and reinstate back pay for employees previously fired for misconduct and direct such savings back toward care, benefits, and services for veterans, in accordance with all applicable laws.

    Sec. 5. Providing Choices and Excellence to Veterans. The Secretary shall take steps to increase the excellence of and options for care, benefits, and services for veterans including:

    (a) within 60 days of the date of this order, submitting a report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, with a plan to reduce wait times for Veterans Health Administration appointments that explores options like expanding office hours, offering weekend appointments, and increasing the use of virtual healthcare options;

    (b) within 30 days of the date of this order, directing a feasibility study at the Manchester VA Medical Center and within 180 days of this order, submitting to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, an action plan to expand services to support a full-service medical center in New Hampshire so that it is no longer the only State in the contiguous United States without such a center; and

    (c) in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, developing a strategy to improve the delivery and quality of the Department’s healthcare services in a more efficient and effective manner to support veterans; the strategy shall initially prioritize implementation of actions to reduce access times and improve service delivery, to include options for offering treatment to veterans at select military treatment facilities and military beneficiaries at VA facilities with appropriate reimbursement.

    Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

    (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or

    (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

    (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    (d) The Department of Veterans Affairs shall provide funding for this order’s publication in the Federal Register.

    Fact

    Under the cover of the joke ‘minerals rights deal” Trump managed to funnel more weapons to Ukraine without it looking like he was funneling more weapons to Ukraine.

    See, all’s well.

    Trump owns this war now, top to bottom.

    Biden 2.0

    Didn’t have the balls to walk away from it in public.

    Had to sneak weapons to Zelensky with a ‘mineral rights deal’ that wasn’t a mineral right deal.

    They use to kill witches sometimes by piling rocks on their chest until they couldn’t breath.

    The Russians are going to step it up shortly, and Ukraine will stop breathing.

    Here’s an example, although I was looking for one where he was describing what his grandparents saw when they got there, back when wildfires (or indians) were natural: huge open areas, tall “orchard” grasses, king trees, like enough for your horses to graze. Now as you can see, barely walk, everything is dead, although the trees by world standards are actually quite large, way over 2×4 size, like 8×8 if you center pithed it (Which you shouldn’t.)

    Anyway, if they’re crowded they’re drying dead, it’s a huge waste and a major fire hazard: turn them into paper. It’s fine. NOt everywhere, but here. Also biofuels electric cogen plant in every western city valley. Using residual heat for greenhouses, maximum gain.

    Trump to sign executive order to reduce cost of prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals up to 80%.
    The executive order will be signed at 9am on Monday in the White House, Trump said.

    He described it as ‘one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history.’

    Four hours before he revealed the details of his policy, Trump teased the announcement, sharing on both X and Truth Social: ‘My next TRUTH will be one of the most important and impactful I have ever issued. ENJOY!’

    Trump vowed prices will be reduced by between 30 percent and 80 percent ‘almost immediately.’

    In what appears to be a follow-on from Trump’s tariff policy, he wrote: ‘They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA!

    ‘I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World.

    ‘Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before.’

    Trump said his policy would save the United States ‘trillions of dollars.’

    His announcement comes amid revelations over a third of US adults (about 91 million people) could not access quality healthcare if they needed it today, based on the latest West Health-Gallup Healthcare Affordability Index.

    After Victory Day Celebration Putin’s Message
    (Partial cut and paste.)
    Dear colleagues, I think it is obvious to everyone that during the talks and meetings held in Moscow, the issue of resolving the conflict in Ukraine was also raised.
    We are grateful to all our guests and friends for the attention they pay to this conflict and for the efforts they make to bring this conflict to an end.
    In this regard, I consider it necessary to focus on this topic separately.

    In this regard, I want to say: as you know, Russia has repeatedly made initiatives for a cease-fire, but they–-these initiatives–were repeatedly sabotaged by the Ukrainian side. Thus, the Kiev regime defiantly violated the 30-day–-I want to emphasize this–-30-day moratorium on strikes on energy facilities from March 18 to April 17, about 130 times, which was announced in accordance with our agreement with the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.

    The Easter truce initiated by Russia was also not observed: the ceasefire was violated by Ukrainian formations almost five thousand times.
    Nevertheless, for the celebration of Victory Day–-and we also consider it a holy holiday for us, you can only imagine how much we lost 27 million–we declared a truce for the third time on this holy holiday for us.

    At the same time, we also conveyed to our Western colleagues, who, in my opinion, are sincerely looking for ways to resolve the conflict, our position on this issue, on the ceasefire on Victory Day, that in the future we do not rule out the possibility of extending the terms of this truce–-but, of course, after analyzing what will happen in these few days, based on the results of how the Kiev regime will respond to our proposal.

    And what do we see?
    What are these results?
    The Kiev authorities–-as you can clearly see for yourself–did not respond at all to our proposal for a cease-fire.
    Moreover, after the announcement of our proposal–-and this happened, as you may recall, on May 5 of this year-–the Kiev authorities launched large-scale attacks from May 6-7.
    The strike involved 524 unmanned aerial vehicles and a number of Western-made missiles, while 45 beks–-unmanned boats–-were simultaneously used in the Black Sea.
    In fact, during the three days of the ceasefire we announced–on the 8th, 9th and 10th—what you also saw from the mass media, in fact, from your reports, it was clear: during this time, five targeted attempts were made to attack the state border of the Russian Federation in eastern Ukraine. in the area of the Kursk region and at the junction with the Belgorod region, exactly during the days of the ceasefire we announced.
    In addition, 36 more attacks were launched in other directions.
    All these attacks, including attempts to enter the territory of the Russian Federation in the area of the Kursk region and the Belgorod region, were repulsed.
    Moreover, our military experts believe that they had no military significance, were conducted solely for political reasons, and the enemy suffered very heavy losses.

    As I have already said, the Kiev authorities not only rejected our proposal for a ceasefire, but also, as we have all seen, tried to intimidate the leaders of states gathered for the celebrations in Moscow.
    You know, dear colleagues, when I met with colleagues here in Moscow, I had this idea.
    I will share with you: who was tried to intimidate from those who came to Moscow to celebrate the Victory over Nazi Germany?
    Who were you trying to intimidate?
    After all, those who came to us are leaders not by their official position, not by their position, but by their character, by their beliefs and by their willingness to defend their beliefs.
    And who tried to intimidate them?
    Those who stand to attention in front of and salute and applaud former SS soldiers?
    And elevates to the rank of national heroes those who collaborated with Hitler during the Second World War?
    It seems to me that this is an attempt with obviously unsuitable means, and those who are trying to do this do not correspond to the swing that they themselves expect.

    I will repeat once again: we have repeatedly proposed steps towards a ceasefire.
    We have never refused to engage in a dialogue with the Ukrainian side.
    Let me remind you once again: we did not interrupt the negotiations in 2022, but the Ukrainian side did.
    In this regard, despite everything, we suggest that the Kiev authorities resume the negotiations that they interrupted at the end of 2022 and resume direct negotiations.
    And, I emphasize, without any preconditions.

    We propose to start without delay next Thursday, May 15, in Istanbul, where they were held earlier and where they were interrupted.
    As you know, our Turkish colleagues have repeatedly offered their services in organizing such negotiations, and President Erdogan has done a lot to organize them.
    Let me remind you that as a result of these negotiations, a joint draft document was prepared, and it was initialed by the head of the Kiev negotiating group, but at the insistence of the West, it was simply thrown into the trash.


    Taking this opportunity, I would also like to note the huge role of journalists, representatives of world news agencies, TV channels, and the press who covered the anniversary events, as well as the many-hour program of current negotiations and working meetings.
    We have done a lot to make people around the world feel the unique atmosphere of the current holidays in Moscow.
    Of course, I would like to thank you for this meeting, because it is rather late and, of course, everyone is already tired.

    Thank you very much for your attention, because it’s almost half past one in the morning or even more than half past one in the morning in Moscow, I’m letting you go with God.

    Thank you very much for your attention. Goodbye

    Wheeeeeeeh!!!

      Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor told a lawyers’ conference that amid escalating criticism in the nation of some federal judges, lawyers need to “stand up” and “fight this fight.”

    Whee, whee, wheeeee!

      Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy appeared on NBC News’ Meet the Press on Sunday morning, emphasizing the Trump administration’s urgent push to modernize the nation’s outdated airspace communications infrastructure.

    Goddam, this Country asked for it and we deserve Foxy News Sean and “Fight Fight Cis Boom Bah” Sonia and….whatever the f*ck

    At least Tony Romo doesn’t take himself too seriously to eschew a really authentic looking toupee.
