Cuts to entitlements are the only way out. It can happen in a controlled manner or a collapse. US has a parasite problem.

Woot! Kennedy will be over the CDC, FDA, and NIH!

Elon & Vivek appointed to the DOGE

One of the best parts about these appointments is that you get to see who all the enemies of the people are when they squirm and howl at each one.

I wouldn't be shocked if a Dem or two crosses over to be honest. They're going to bring up the sex stuff or whatever for Gaetz but whatever. And I think he got a DUI, but daddy got him out of it.

But if Gorsuch could get run through the mud in his hearing for SCOTUS about running a train on a chick and saying he likes beer, I think Gaetz will be fine. AG is generally more trivial and the term will end so it's not 20-30 years of Gaetz as AG.

I hate these petty Republicans that try to leverage being fuck wads. Collins is a Michael J Fox tweak freak probably with Parkinson's in some minor form or controlled. Old. I want young blood that get's shit done. Sorry Gaetz is young and you're past your prime in a state that somehow shoes you in every six years. That might stop.

Trump picks North Dakota governor to lead Interior

The move puts Trump’s one-time primary rival in charge of the department.

President-elect Donald Trump said he plans to nominate North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a one-time rival for the Republican presidential nomination, to run the Interior Department and help steer the energy policy he’s pledged will drive up oil and gas drilling.

“We’re going do things with energy and with land — Interior — that is going to be incredible,” Trump told an audience at Mar A Lago. Bergum “is going to head the Department of Interior and he’s going to be fantastic.”

Burgum became wealthy from selling his software company, a factor that helped him create a relationship with Trump, who considered Burgum as a potential 2024 running mate.

If confirmed by the Senate, Burgum would manage the more than 500 million acres of federal land as well as the fossil fuels and minerals that lie beneath the surface — making him a critical component in Trump’s promise to boost oil and gas output.

Burgum will have a part in crafting policies that deliver on Trump’s promise to “drill, baby, drill”: leasing out federal land for oil, natural gas and coal development and setting safety standards for offshore oil rigs.

But Trump’s love of energy has not extended to renewable energy projects, something which the Biden administration sought to prioritize on public land. Trump is likely to push Burgum to scale back or end many of the Biden efforts to set up vast wind farms off the East Coast and other renewables on public lands.

During Trump’s first term, his administration sought to roll back rules on rig safety, climate change and Endangered Species Act protections in attempts to make things as easy as possible for oil companies to drill on public land. With Trump’s most recent talk of oil being “liquid gold” and that crude production would be four or five times higher under him than Biden, many agency observers expect the former president to look for new ways to remove regulatory speedbumps the current administration has put in place.

North Dakota is the third-largest oil-producing state in the country and also has more than 4 million acres under federal oversight. As governor, Burgum promoted carbon capture technologies to bring down greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel production and other industrial activities.

That approach lends itself to Trump’s vision of boosting fossil fuel production, but also pursuing other technology to reduce environmental degradation, said Collin O’Mara, CEO of environmental group National Wildlife Federation.

“I think he’ll be a very strong champion of the energy dominance agenda,” said O’Mara. “But in North Dakota, he tried to find some level of balance to make sure that important conservation areas, important areas for tourism, weren’t harmed in the process.”

Other environmental groups criticized Trump’s choice, saying Burgum lacked the experience outside the fossil fuel industry to steward the public lands.

In North Dakota, Interior’s Bureau of Land Management oversees 58,000 acres of surface land and 4.1 million acres of mineral estate. BLM has jurisdiction over about 2,500 federal oil and gas leases and has trust responsibility on more than 3,000 on the Fort Berthold Reservation and Turtle Mountain Tracts in the state’s northern region.

“Doug Burgum comes from an oil state, but North Dakota is not a public lands state,” Jennifer Rokala, executive director for the conservation group Center for Western Priorities, said in a statement.

“His cozy relationship with oil billionaires may endear him to Donald Trump, but he has no experience that qualifies him to oversee the management of 20 percent of America’s lands.”

The swamp is livid over Tulsi.

Saying the Lt. Col of Civil Affairs unit attached to Spec Ops, who served 4 terms, was on Homeland Sec. and Foreign Affairs committee isn't qualified.

Just a reminder: Almost all of Europe, and the vast majority of all countries in the world, do NOT fluoridate I guess their government medical experts and lawmakers aren't as expert as American ones, and only our "Experts" see the Holy Truth of Fluoridating Water.

So...Fauci's $15 million security detail is being paid from the HHS Department, which is gonna be led by RFK, whom Biden refused a security detail for.

Who's gonna get credit for improving the budget ???? Is it DOGE or RFK ????

Don't drink water. Boom.

What do you think has kept civilization alive without filtration of water? Alcohol, mead, vodka, etc. No one on this forum exists without booze. Look at population growth. We didn't have clean water supplies in the early 1900's. Then finally got mostly clean supplies.

And yes, I still drink water, but it has to be from a trusted source. I like my town but the amount of chlorine was what I put in a pool to keep it clear. Chlorine is bleach. Throw in fluoride. Call me crazy but alcohol sounds the lesser evil.

Mexico tomorrow and will be brushing my teeth with bottled water. Bad water can kill people. Trace substances or bacteria. Never had a drop of water in Mexico or the Caribbean and never had a problem. Alcohol, beer for me, kills anything sitting in a can/bottle.

I don't disagree.



Did you know that Europe has experienced the same reduction in tooth decay/cavity issues in the past 50 years as the US, when European water is 97% unfluoridated?

Fluoride is a waste product of aluminium smelting. Putting it in water is just a trick to get the public to pay for what would have to be disposed of as waste.

Kennedy is a kook and should not be in charge of any department, anywhere. I hope he doesn't get confirmed.

The fake Establishment Pro-Life groups are back in action to prevent Trump reforms for their powerful donors: this time using RFK. "He's not 100% anti-abortion". RFK is a 20-weeker. Compared to the current occupant he's night and day.

The establishment controlled Pro-Life groups were already looking shady in the weeks before the election.

They're confirming that suspicion with their loud anti-JFK stance.

Kennedy wants to fire a bunch of government workers, that's all I care about. If not him then someone else who will do the same thing (and have Kennedy on staff).

Rumor: To build wealth, you have to start with a little KASH.

ERROR

I really like Kennedy because he's the only one telling the truth about vaccines.

He was smeared as a kook by the mockingbird media, but you'll know he's not if you read what he writes or listen to him speak without the CIA distortion filter.

Kennedy, one hardly needs reminding, is a lifelong Democrat. He believes in manmade climate change and strict gun control. When the Times cries over his ‘unorthodox’ views, all Kennedy’s intersecting areas of common progressive interests count for absolutely nothing. The fact that caused the Times and the rest of DC’s utter panic over Trump’s win, the fact that sent vaccine stock prices straight downwards, is the fact that Robert Kennedy has called for vaccines to be tested like all other drugs are.
