Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary |
President-elect Trump announced his nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services Thursday, deepening the unlikely alliance between the Republican Party and one of America’s most famous Democrat family’s most prominent members.
“HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country,” Trump wrote on X. “Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
Trump embraced Kennedy following the former candidate’s August endorsement, promising during the campaign to let the longtime environmental lawyer “go wild” when it comes to health. Read more.

Democrat Congressman Calls RFK Nomination “Shameful,” “Dangerous” |
Democrat lawmaker Robert Garcia called RFK’s likely rise to the president’s cabinet “shameful” and “dangerous” Thursday, lambasting Marjorie Taylor Greene over her support for the new nominee.
“The fact that we’re considering [bringing] somebody on with no scientific or medical credentials… I think is shameful,” Garcia complained to Greene and the rest of his committee hearing hostages. “We should be very concerned as a country that RFK Jr. could be put in charge of health.”
RFK’s nomination represents a symbolic middle finger to the Washington establishment after decades of policy decisions encouraging Americans to live unhealthy lifestyles and leading to historic, widespread obesity.
Kennedy has pledged to “make America healthy again” and deliver “measurable results in the diminishment of chronic disease within two years.” Read more.

‘What Happened to the Fascist Talk?’: Liberal Commentator Dumbfounded by Biden’s Welcoming of Trump |
Liberal radio host Charlamagne Tha God expressed bewilderment Thursday over Joe Biden hosting Donald Trump at the White House, wondering “What happened to the ‘threat of democracy’ talk?”
“I’m glad it’s a peaceful transition of power, but what happened to the ‘threat of democracy’ talk? What happened to the fascist talk?” Charlamagne questioned. “I’m just trying to figure out, how do you go from, ‘He’s an existential threat to democracy’ to ‘Welcome back?'”
Charlamagne went on to lament the Democrats’ yearslong anti-Trump fearmongering campaign, saying that their instant post-election 180 “makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics.”
It was all just about politics. Biden and his fellow party leaders never actually thought Trump was a “threat to democracy.” They only said it to scare voters into casting their ballots for Democrats since they knew their records alone could never yield them the support needed to maintain power.

Liberal X-odus: Joy Reid and Don Lemon Delete X |
Liberal commentators Joy Reid and Don Lemon announced their exits from X Thursday, narcissistically declaring their plans on social media as if anybody asked or cared.
“I once believed [X] was a place for honest discussion and debate, transparency and free speech” Lemon complained, “but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.”
Reid, for her part, said she “just [hasn’t] want[ed] to contribute content [since X] was purchased by [Elon Musk]... it’s just not worth it.”
Lemon and Reid are unlikely to be missed. Read more.

Power-Hungry Pelosi Files for Reelection |
84-year-old Nancy Pelosi filed a statement of candidacy for her 2026 Congressional race Thursday, checking the first box in her pursuit of a 21st term in the House.
The FEC requires the “Statement of Candidacy” form when candidates raise or spend $5,000 in an election cycle, a threshold that Pelosi has likely already surpassed for the 2026 cycle.
Pelosi’s refusal to let go of power is ironic considering her role in Joe Biden’s undemocratic removal from the Democrat Party’s 2024 ticket. She was reportedly a leading voice in the effort to dethrone the president.
A Pelosi spokesperson oddly declined to confirm whether the two-time House speaker is running for reelection, but the paperwork erases any doubt. Read more.

Democrat Senator Slams Pelosi Over Biden Ouster |
John Fetterman attacked Nancy Pelosi Thursday for “blaming” Joe Biden for 2024 Democrat defeats despite her being the main force that orchestrated his ouster.
“People like Pelosi, she really tried to — what’s the word I’m looking for? — she embraced this ‘she’s the godmother, she’s the enforcer.’ And now she’s blaming Biden. Well, you can’t have it both ways,” Fetterman told a reporter.
“I think it’s really ironic,” he continued, “that you have a woman at age 84 and she is still hanging on. Why not give a younger generation an opportunity to occupy that seat?”
Pelosi’s refusal to pass the torch is indicative of one of her party’s most glaring issues. Its combination of old leaders who refuse to cede power and younger ones who make terrible candidates is not a recipe for electoral success. Read more.

Rogan Says Closeted Trump-Supporting Celebs Thanked Him for Endorsement |
Joe Rogan said Wednesday that a mass of unexpected sources have privately thanked him for endorsing Donald Trump.
“There’s a lot of people that don’t speak their mind,” Rogan said during one of his podcast recordings. “Do you know many artists that have reached out to me that are like f***ing hippies, man, like artists, like musicians, comedians that thanked me for endorsing Trump because they can’t do it?"
Rogan comments highlight the toxic nature of modern American politics, as supporting Donald Trump, who was overwhelmingly the country’s most popular presidential candidate, has been deemed socially unacceptable by many. Read more.

HEADS UP: Human Man’s Head Found on Florida Beach |
A human head washed ashore on a Florida beach this week, baffling beachgoers and leaving authorities scrambling to discover its origins.
Miami-Dade police confirmed Thursday that the head belonged to a man, but investigators are still working to find an identity, cause of death, and the rest of the remains.
No further details have been released as the investigation is ongoing. Read more.

Take a look at these two images, the first of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s X bio before the election, and the second from after. What difference do you notice? |
Her pronouns are gone.
Why? Did some malicious alt-right disinformation agency hack her account? Is AOC suddenly embracing anti-trans discrimination? Or could it be that the Democrat darling is no longer a she/her, making the pronouns offensively outdated? Is she transitioning?
None of these explanations are likely. There’s a simpler and more slimy truth behind the change.
As everyone knows, most politicians are not ideologically principled. They adjust their views as the wind blows, constantly scheming to manipulatively align themselves with what they think the electorate believes rather than standing on consistent and deeply-held values and letting the public decide if their honest messages fit its needs.
We’re exiting a prime example: the era when Washington liberals deduced that wokeism was the key to American voters’ hearts. They dove in head first, attacking basic biological truths, embracing race-based discrimination, and shaming the normal people who refuted the inane program.
Citizens who didn’t want their tax dollars spent on imprisoned illegal immigrants’ sex change surgeries? Mainstream Democrats questioned their commitment to American values.
Parents upset about their daughters being forced to share locker rooms with boys? The left labeled them misogynists, and publicly lamentable ones at that.
And most importantly, those who didn’t advertise their sacred pronouns? The ones who had the gall to assume that everyday people could somehow, through intuition alone, figure out other people’s sexes based on appearance alone? Culture warriors reserved those gut-wrenchingly insufferable bigots their own tier in the hierarchy of deplorables, only accessible to the dirtiest human filth who astonishingly believe that having a d**k makes someone a man.
None of that is hyperbole, and until recently it showed no signs of slowing down. Then the election happened.
Donald Trump’s victory was a profound rejection of the past decade’s woke revolution. It turns out people are tired of their leaders demeaning them for telling the truth. Trump ran on a badly-needed return to common sense, which was all voters ever wanted in the first place.
Democrats like AOC seem to be hearing the footsteps, ostensibly aware that continuing down the radical culture war path could cause more political heads to roll than already have. By purging her pronouns from social media, the congresswoman, not congresswomxn, shamefully acknowledged that she swallowed the deranged Left’s pill with a bit too much passion.
The woke mind virus is dead. |
