Unusual Citizens’ Voices for today. Four!
“Now, I’ve never seen the island this flooded in all my years – you’d think a hurricane had passed over us!”
“If you are angry in Key West, you just like being angry.”
“All it takes is one person exposed to measles to come from Texas or New Mexico through the overcrowded airport to expose Key West to this highly contagious disease. We will find out who is not vaccinated.”
“To the Snowflake Voicer whining’s about people insulting the current President, I remind us of the acronym for your pals’ favorite chant the past four years: ‘FJB.’ So get used to it. You ain’t seen nothing yet.” (For your information, FJB stands for Fuck Joe Biden.)
MSNBC is on a rampage. Getting rid of shows, firing star performers, cutting back on staffing. Primarily involved are black starred shows.
Rachel Maddow has lost most of her staffing. Joy Reid is gone, together with her staff. Interestingly, Morning Joe has survived…..thus far. Perhaps indefinitely. Joe and Mika visited Trump in Mar-a-Lago and genuflected. Makes me wonder if NBC overall has done so.
What is the truth behind what is occurring? Why has such occurred?
The first child has died as a result of the Texas measles outbreak. Texas’ worst epidemic in 50 years. The child was not vaccinated.
Since late January, Texas has reported 124 cases. Eighty percent are children.
Thank you Donald and RFK Jr. Keep on the side of the unvaccinated. The one dead child in Texas will grow in numbers. Inevitable.
The Texas death and the outbreak itself are the result of the consequences of declining vaccination rates.
Musk attended Trump’s first Cabinet meeting. Why? He’s not a Cabinet member nor is DOGE yet an official agency.
Members of the Cabinet did the right thing by Trump by applauding Musk.
Sick!
Yesterday was the 3 year anniversary of Russia’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine.
Trump has a meeting scheduled tomorrow with Zelensky. Trump expects Zelensky to sign some sort of deal giving the U.S. certain of Ukraine’s mineral rights in exchange for security assurances.
Zelensky, trust Trump not.
The Republican budget bill passed contains a major declination of a campaign promise by Trump and Republicans. They promised Medicaid would never be touched.
The bill passed and now on its way to the Senate contains major Medicaid cuts. Some SNAP ones also.
Trump and Republicans lied.
Note the Medicaid cuts will help make possible generous tax cuts for the wealthy.
I have a concern. Federal employees being laid off in large numbers. Yesterday Trump also announced he would be closing many Washington located federal offices and moving them to State locations.
Query: How will the government run with significantly fewer employees? Where will the dislocated federal employees whose Washington job sites have moved get new jobs?
Does anyone think these things out?
Inaction allows evil to flourish. Edmund Burke in 1795 said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Even the Bible contributes to the thought: “Therefore to him, that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” James 4:17.
Democrats, good Republicans and Independents must rise in opposition to that which is going on and which without question will lead to a different U.S. and perhaps a no longer U.S.
Last but not least, Syracuse finally won another basketball game. Defeated North Carolina State last night 74-60.
Enjoy your day!
