Not only didn’t the IRS get 85,000 new auditors, it’s now been slashed by up to 20% and counting. Out of the bureaucratic chaos emerged more wonderfully ironic Trump 2.0 news. CBS ran the story under the headline, “Hunter Biden whistleblower named acting IRS commissioner.”

It was another thumb jabbed in Democrats’ eyes. Gary Shapley is the senior IRS investigator who blew the whistle on the Services’ slow-walking of the Hunter Biden investigation. In retaliation, the Service savaged Shapley and sidelined him, but was forced to commence its wrist-slapping prosecution of President Autopen’s crack-addled son. (Biden later autosigned a breathtaking pardon of every conceivable Hunter crime over a full decade, a pardon that ironically politically enabled Trump’s full pardon of all the J6ers.)

This week, while Trump’s real IRS nominee, Billy Long, remains mired in Senate committees, the President appointed Gary Shapley as acting commissioner. Trump’s telling Senators, take as long as you want. Even before receiving this high honor, Shapley and fellow whistleblower Joseph Ziegler were assigned to Treasury Secretary Bessent's office as senior advisers for IRS reform, and Shapley was appointed deputy director of criminal investigations at IRS.

This is a terrific example of Trump’s “shock and awe” strategy. During normal news cycles, the Democrats would have written a song about this interim appointment and would have tried to use it to topple Trump. Now, it’s just Friday. They have to take it on the chin.

Don’t feel too sorry for them. During the Autopen era, conservatives were forced to swallow a long, revolting series of tattooed men in dresses and luggage thieves who received prominent federal appointments. At least Shapley is sane.

Since late December, Trump had increasinly enraged MAHA folks with the previous, now withdrawn, nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, who graduated from the prestigious American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, which is located on the resort-like island nation of St. Maarten. She is also Mike Waltz’s sister-in-law. But those weren’t Janette’s worst PR problems.

Dr. Nesheiwat is a plump jab lover who thinks sex is assigned at birth and calls normal boys and girls “cisgender.” She often praised Biden’s efforts to cancel anti-vaxxer misinformation and gushed over school mask mandates. She blasphemously called the covid vaccines “a gift from God.” You could call her anti-MAHA.

Under growing pressure, or maybe for other reasons, who knows, Trump canceled Janette’s dance card yesterday, nominating instead MAHA favorite Casey Means, an anti-elite and a long-time, pro-natural-health jab adversary.

She's a research doctor, she dropped out of her residency, I'd be careful with this one. She could have switched to D.O. school.

Then again, RFK apparently likes her.

Welp…here we are. In a completely unshocking turn of events (see here and here), Trump announced yesterday that he was withdrawing his reeeeeeallllly terrible surgeon general nominee, Dr Janette Nesheiwat. It is unclear as to whether this withdrawal happened because of her devotion to the herd culling murder shots or because of her early 90’s soft porn vibe. ...

Nesheiwat was replaced with the newly crowned MAHA Celebrity Doctor Du Jour, Casey Means. I’m sure you’re familiar with her as she, along with Brother Calley, were trotted out across all the “alternative” “health freedom movement” platforms, just ahead of the Trump/RFK alliance campaign. ...

Just before RFK joined the MAGA movement, ... the Means Duo went on Tucker saying all of the things people wanted to hear. ... All the things EXCEPT for that one injectable MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURE that is doing a lot of havoc wreaking since its deployment.

And here’s Brother Calley, ex pharmaceutical lobbyist (who supposedly linked ole Donnie T and RFK up), calling for a STATE OF EMERGENCY for chronic disease on day one of the presidency. (pssst…state of emergency would mean PREP Act fuckery)

I looked at some of the mainstream blahbity blah today to see what’s being said, and can you believe I ran into CBS News interviewing Robert Malone???

"She's qualified. She's energetic. She's been a good communicator, which is the role of surgeon general. She seems to have good ethical moorings. And she reflects this new thinking about where HHS should be. I think it's a bold pick," Dr. Robert Malone, another close ally of Kennedy, told CBS News. ...

Malone acknowledged the perception among some of Kennedy's base that Means had not been "sufficiently vocal, early enough, in rejecting the mRNA vaccine products," as he had been.

Malone is kind of a big deal in the “deep state”, FYI…

The article continues…

Casey and Calley Means have also earned skepticism from some of Kennedy's anti-vaccine base, who have grown frustrated with what they fear has been Kennedy's drifting attention away from what they hoped would be a ban of several vaccines...

Now is a good time to remember that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been raising concerns about vaccine safety since 2005 and has taken more flak for it than everyone in the medical freedom movement combined.

Unlike most dissidents, he was a comfortably ensconced member of the upper echelon of American society when he began to vocalize his concerns and was made to suffer for it. How many other celebrities have dared to raise concerns about vaccines, much less made this concern a focus of their work in the public forum?

For her part, Ms. Means should consider that the tens of millions of people who supported Secretary Kennedy and President Trump are acutely aware of the mountains of evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines have inflicted grave harm on the health of humanity.

In light of this, she should speak more forthrightly about these concerns, which would go a long way to dispelling the suspicion that her interest in nutrition is a strategy for changing the subject away from vaccine harms.

COVID-19 vaccine harms and the shocking rise of profound autism are too glaring to ignore. If Ms. Means is confirmed as Surgeon General, she should focus as much (if not more) critical scrutiny on the evidence of vaccine harms as she is currently focusing on America’s abysmal food industry.
