But did Mitch McConnell vote for him?

Here’s an article that explains a bit: https://thefederalist.com/2025/02/14/why-education-experience-makes-an-education-secretary-worse/

Gotta be. I wonder if RFKJr will be able to make any gains in mental health for the country. Getting rid of the Dept. of Education should help, you know those were mostly teachers.

What about sock puppets?

Yes, for Covid, and others. Just do a search for “is ivermectin an antiviral” and read to your heart’s content. It’s not claimed to be a cure, nor a vaccine, but when used early or before exposure, it can provide relief.

Hitler drank water, too.

Not entirely accurate. It has known and observed antiviral and prophylactic properties.

Definitely a thing. John Solomon’s Just the News played a recording of a morning conference call among media reps where the “phrase of the day” was established.

Hang in there, we all have our struggles.

Sure, if you say so.

I imagine she was his source.

The Vice President doesn’t have a job in the Executive Branch, now does he.

That’s rich. A sock puppet calling Riley Gaines a fraud.

I’m so happy I don’t care if we ever elect a politician again.

Thomas Sowell or Earl Klugman?

What’s the big deal? She seems like a real dandy but I applaud her for resigning. It’s certainly nothing new to drop or reduce charges, even grant immunity to defendants for aiding prosecutors. She was ordered to dismiss, without prejudice, meaning the charges could be refiled later, charges that Adams received some airline seat and hotel room upgrades for rousting fire inspectors to do their job in time for a planned event. Almost sounds like a matter for the International Criminal Court. If she can’t bring herself to follow orders, she and anyone else who feels the same should resign. It’s the honorable thing to do.

From Jonathon Turley: “For many citizens, what is most striking is not Trump’s actions, but how Democrats are seeking to prevent the very reforms that a majority of voters supported.“ https://jonathanturley.org/2025/02/13/democrats-jump-the-shark-the-latest-claims-of-a-constitutional-crisis-will-not-lead-to-happier-days/

Bill O Reilly thinks he might be helping the investigation.

They can just learn to code.

The President is the only member of the Executive Branch who is elected.

That was 106 million pre-inflation dollars.

Because I don’t think people click on stuff. The full text. Collin Rugg @CollinRugg NEW: Elon Musk says the maximum amount of people who can retire from the federal government in a month is 10,000 because the paperwork is done manually at an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. The mine in question is Iron Mountain. "The speed at which the mine shaft elevator can move determines how many people can retire from the federal government." Iron Mountain is a 330,000-square-foot data center more than 200 feet deep. It uses a 35-acre underground reservoir to create a geothermal cooling system. A report from 2021 reveals how the government tried (and failed) to digitize the process for decades. $106 million later, and failing to do so, the government decided to keep the old process. "$106 million later, the OPM facility resumed functioning with the processes established back in 1977," STWserve dot com reported.
