FWIW, ghost man, there are 4 medical doctors of varying practices in my immediate family, none of them took the clot shot and they all advised their families, immediate and extended not to do so as well.

Still praying for you.

An interesting claim today in an AP article, which has been picked up and run with by a number of left-leaning publications. Here is one example: https://www.commondreams.org/news/elon-musk-doge

The articles can basically be summarized as "21 tech-staffers within DoGE wrote a joint resignation letter, submitted, today, in which they say 'We quit, because we refuse to help you cut back on the size of government'."

Now, call me crazy here, but didn't that act, all by itself, help to reduce the size of government?

The articles make it sound as if 21 of Musk’s people quit, when they were part of around 230 legacy US Digital Services employees from the previous administration. Their ostensible mission since being established in 2014 was to make the operation of the gummint more efficient and responsive. It may have taken 10 years, but it’s a step forward.

Respectfully, that's why we have a constitutional republic. Yeah, they're a bunch of ****** but I like semantics.

DJT is the worst fascist ever. He's forcing D.C. to make government smaller. He's reducing our tax burden and trying to remove income taxes and even property taxes. He's making the IRS smaller...maybe to the point of not existing any longer. Pretty soon the people will have all the power, and D.C. will be a lovely museum.

Any self-serving fascist would see how much money and power could be gained from continuing the Ukraine war....dolt.

Number of eligible (recorded as still living) social security numbers by age.

If you think the left is angry now, just wait until fraudulent Social Security checks and benefits stop going out.

It's a shame we banned safe and effective guy. I wanted to share some more baseless speculation about the harm that comes from the vaccine.

This is from some backwoods hick hacks at a place called Yale.
