The Strangeness of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s HHS Determining the Cause of Much Increased Autism Prevalence

During the coronavirus scare, bureaucrats in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) relentlessly claimed “the science” demanded that people stay isolated at home as much as possible, wear masks, keep at least six feet away from everyone else, refrain from obtaining early treatment, take shot after shot of experimental coronavirus “vaccines,” et cetera. Media and politicians largely echoed these sketchy demands.

Admirably, some people tried to educate Americans about how much of this United States government supported coronavirus propaganda was wrong. Among the most prominent of these critics was Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Here We Go Again: US Department of Health and Human Services Funds and Fast-tracks Experimental Bird Flu Shots

The first Donald Trump administration ushered in an American coronavirus crackdown that included among its putrid components “warp speed” production and distribution of experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots, Those shots, though repeatedly touted by people in government and media as “safe and effective,” turned out to be both dangerous and ineffective. Now, Trump’s second administration appears to be taking another go-around with the dastardly project, with experimental mRNA shots again playing a major role. This time the excuse is bird flu.

The Dud Flu Shots

“Getting vaccinated every year is the best way to lower your chances of getting the flu.” That is the declaration of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at its website’s page dedicated to immunization for flu. The problem is that actual medical investigation instead indicates the shots are a dud when it comes to protecting people from flu.

MAGA: Make Appliances Great Again

In January, I wrote about President Donald Trump on his first day in office signing an executive order that appeared designed to help implement his express desire to roll back many of the United States government restrictions imposed over the last few decades that have limited Americans’ choices for products used in their homes. Three months later, it looks like the Trump administration is following through in a significant way toward accomplishing this objective.

Disaster in the Making: Secretary of State Rubio Proclaims the US Should Spend Five Percent of GDP on ‘Defense’

Since his first term, we have grown used to President Donald Trump badgering governments of fellow NATO countries to increase their “defense” spending to five percent of their respective GDPs. Quote marks are used in the preceding sentence because such spending by these governments, or the US, will largely be used for offense, feeding the military-industrial complex, and other purposes far removed from defense.

Do Snowflake White House Employees Need a Safe Space?

It is an improvement that President Donald Trump has made himself many times more available for media questions than did Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden and Trump’s November election opponent Kamala Harris who notoriously made great effort to avoid reporters’ questions. Still, it would be nice if Trump told his White House employees to knock off their use of petty rules limiting media access.

The Trump Administration: Haphazard, Incompetent, and Dangerous

“A range of factions with mutually exclusive policy goals entered the Trump White House hoping the president would prioritize their particular political project.” So begins an interesting article by Christian Britschgi last week at Reason.

It sounds like a setup for failure. And Britschgi presents a case that that is what is unfolding for these factions whether they advocated removing government barriers to operation of the free market or imposing trade barriers, ending wars or starting more wars.

A DOGE Switcheroo

Many actions associated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been met with support from advocates of reducing the size and power of the United States government. Spending has been halted, and US government employment rolls have been reduced. But, is this all leading to a real government reduction or, instead, are the American people being set up for a grand switcheroo?

Trump Tariffs Demonstrate Presidency Without Constitutional Bounds

The tariffs President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday are massive in size and scope, Indeed, some early analysis indicates Trump has raised the United States average tariff rate to higher than did the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 that contributed to the American people’s suffering in the Great Depression. A big difference, though, is that Trump on his own was able to impose his sweeping tariffs this week, while the 1930 tariffs were imposed via legislation approved by votes and in the United States House of Representatives and Senate and then signed into law by President Herbert Hoover.
