Hi RedLightRobot: I trust you appreciated my literary input.

Coriolanus

The worst individual to ever a country's healthcare system, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is going to let needy people go untreated which result in further sickness, suicides, or homicides. All US Senators who confirmed this anti-vax mountebank as Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) should be beaten in place.

"We are definitely looking at severe loss of front-line capacity," said Andrew Kessler, head of Slingshot Solutions, a consultancy firm that works with mental health and addiction groups nationwide. "[Programs] may have to shut their doors tomorrow."

Kessler said he has reviewed numerous grant termination letters from "Salt Lake City to El Paso to Detroit, all over the country."

Ryan Hampton, the founder of Mobilize Recovery, a national advocacy nonprofit for people in and seeking recovery, told NPR his group lost roughly $500,000 "overnight."

"Waking up to nearly $2 billion in grant cancellations means front-line providers are forced to cease overdose prevention, naloxone distribution, and peer recovery services immediately, leaving our communities defenseless against a raging crisis," Hampton said. "This cruelty will be measured in lives lost, as recovery centers shutter and the safety net we built is slashed overnight. We are witnessing the dismantling of our recovery infrastructure in real-time, and the Trumpf junta will have blood on its hands for every preventable death that follows."

Meanwhile firearms continue to proliferate throughout the US which averages six to eight mass shootings a week. RFK's draconian cut is a continuation of Republican Party cruelty to the vulnerable, weak, poor, and dispossessed. Dummkopf Trumpf does not care one whit for the American people. Not one iota.

**** California Attorney General Rob Bonta Investigating Felon Musk's xAI ***

"The avalanche of reports detailing the non-consensual sexually explicit material that xAI has produced and posted online in recent weeks is shocking," CAG Rob Bonta said in a statement.

"I urge xAI to take immediate action to ensure this goes no further. We have zero tolerance for the AI-based creation and dissemination of nonconsensual intimate images or of child sexual abuse material."

Hi JPW:

Did you read my response to your query about my background?

Coriolanus

How is this "breaking news?" when Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good last week?

Breaking news ls "Alien Invaders Destroy Pentagon!" or "Dummkopf Trumpf Finally Admits That He Has Been Lying to the American People for Decades!"

Gosh, the American rightwing suddenly cares about Muslims getting slaughtered in Iran, but are as quiet as church mice when Muslims get killed by the Israelis in Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank, Syria, Iran, Iraq, or Yemen. The same silence when Dummkopf Trumpf kills Muslims in Nigeria, Iran, Iraq, or Yemen.

Great movie, but that scene is all Hollywood and no realism.

The dog would have split at the first gunshot.

I guess Shane didn't hear the creak of the wood caused by the sniper upstairs, but the young boy did after all the gunfire in that enclosed space.

Still, Alan Ladd is handsome and Jack Palance, is well, Jack Palance.

Wow. Laura Jedeed was US Army J2X in Pashtunistan.

Most welcome, A Friend.

Your older brother made it in the world of music and he has talent, probably perfect pitch. Good for him.

My friend's daughter just auditioned in Manhattan for an operatic part, but I didn't catch the name of which production.

Bad bad bad.

Felon Musk will populate his super AI computer Colossus with state secrets. He already tried to attend a classified NSC briefing about war plans for China.

No other leader of a country would allow this insanity.

Too bad nobody ever stopped Felon Musk anytime, anywhere.

If you don't mind my asking, what is your background?
I understand if you don't want to share.

Hi JPW: I'm a native New Yorker who went through the NYC public education system up to the M.A Degree. Like Zohran Mamdani, I graduated the Bronx HS of Science. I played in musical bands on the weekends. Worked for Uncle Sam for several years in law-enforcement and ended up in the US Army (Military Intelligence, JCS, and DIA) from where I finally retired (after 27 years as an LTC). Started the paperwork to become a licensed PI, but got married instead.

In my halcyon years I played several musical instruments, handball, tennis, swam, read voraciously, and learned some martial arts.

That's why I was a five-year graduate for my BA and four years for my MA. Zoinks! My classmates and friends far outdid me.

My military experience took me to many sh*thole places, which is why I am an enemy of war crimes, apartheid, and torture from any person, country, or organization. You must see it in my posts or comments.

So, if you ask me whose side I'm on, it's whoever is on the bottom of the fight.

If Jews are being put on trains, I'm on their side; if Ukrainians are getting slaughtered, I'm on their side; if Palestinians are getting ethically cleansed, I'm on their side; if my fellow poor Americans are starving and dying because they can't afford healthcare or a meal, I'm on their side.

I feel awful for them in Minnesota too.

Trumpf picked a vulnerable target: "Minneapolis has one of the lowest officer-to-resident ratios among major cities, with about 1.4 officers per 1,000 residents, which is quite low compared to other cities." (Source: www.police1.com)

This young Democrat seems to have decent progressive ideas; some have already taken flight, like healthcare for under two-year-olds in NYC:

What does the self-declared President of Venezuela care if people can't afford healthcare?

The Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) made $3.4bn during his two presidencies and his followers who don't have a pot to piss in will still adulate and adore him.

He's the Kool-Aid Man.

Re #14... when Charles Schulz introduced Franklin, a lot of racist newspapers in the south threatened to stop buying his strip and his response was he wasn't going to change it. This was a time when people were aghast as the civil rights movement and MLK. Mr Rogers introduced an African American mailman and offered to sit with him on a summer day and soak his feet with Mr. Rogers in a pool of water which angered a ton of racists.
In a world of Scott Adams, be a Charles Schulz and Fred Rogers.

When the Islamic Republic falls, Donald Trump will be President of Iran.

*** Republicans Love War ***

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK): "I would support removing the regime that's killing their own people."

So you're in favor of taking out the Iranian regime?

"I am at this point."

Moments later, Mullin says, "We're not into regime change. This isn't the Arab Spring..."

But you just said you are for regime change?

Mullin: "No, I said I'm for the strikes."

But you said before that you're for taking out the regime?"

~snip~

"I would support removing the regime that's killing their own people."

Like Dummkopf Trumpf, Benjamin Netanyahu, or Vladimir Putin?

Who gets all the uranium if the regime falls?

And more importantly, who will become Israel's new bogeyman?

How f**ked up is this reality that Germans are sending military to Greenland to protect it from American Nazis.

During WWII, the Allies and Nazi Germany both sent meteorological teams to Greenland to man weather stations.

Planning transatlantic shipping and aerial bombing runs required accurate weather forecasts.

Will Americans and Germans face off again in Greenland?

@16 Most welcome, Doc Sarvis.
