President-elect Trump's appointments part II

Plus, we replaced lead in gasoline to "Chevron with 'Techron'" whatever THAT is. Any studies on what that stuff is doing to us guinea pigs?
I think these fuel additives are detergents rather than TEL, which was a performance enhancer. Unlike TEL, I'm not aware of any poison that comes from combustion.

Cancer? Haven't they proved this?

Proving something causes cancer is actually quite hard.

I'm totally cool with cleaning up our food supply. There is good data coming out about the impact of some of the ultraprocessed foods and the relation to our health. Although... by some definitions bread is considered ultraprocessed and it almost certainly healthy in reasonable quantities.

The GRAS list exists because Democrats and Republicans have both received tons of $$$ from Big Food to make it that way. Good luck at changing it, but I hope good things come of it. There is plenty of hypocrisy on both sides here.

According to the antivax people, vaccines cause autism, cancer, heart disease, Thursday, auburn being good at basketball, homelessness, unemployment, ED, divorce, and uga fans.

Dear Lord, if there is any chance vaccines case Auburn to be good they must be banned immediately and we need 5 trillion in a reversal program!

Our food quality definitely needs to be improved but as far as trying to reduce cases of Cancer the #1 thing that could be attacked 1st is Big Tobacco.

It'll never happen though.
 

Hegseth: Of course the outgoing Biden IRS rushed an “audit” of the incoming SecDef. Total sham. The party of “norms” and “decency” strikes again. We will never back down.

No wonder Elon's in such a hurry to gut the IRS.
 
Considering Biden served under Obama during his weaponization of the IRS, I suspect lots of folks want to peak at the actions of the IRS under Biden.
I have no problem at all investigating the actions of any government agency. If the IRS was used for political purposes, then those responsible should be exposed and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I know I do. If you can provide evidence that Obama "weaponized" the IRS, as opposed to let them collect from deadbeats, in any way approaching Nixon, I will happily admit to "both sides". I know Gummint is ugly. I still don't believe Obama is guilty of "weaponizing" unless you just don't want to obey the law. Panama Papers stuff should be prosecuted. These Pols ain't special.
 



There's no question that the IRS was targeting right-wing political groups. Lois Lerner took the fall, but that didn't satisfy many. Obama was (and continues to be) untouchable, however. If he was responsible (or even knew about it) he is everything the left pretends to hate today. If there was a cover-up, I would be shocked if there's a paper trail left.

Great progress has been made... smokers were almost 50% of adults in the 1950s and down to less than 15% recently. Not sure what the vaping issue brings though...
 
Not much easily found, but Techron appears to be relatively safe. In fact, it breaks down carbon deposits and may prevent larger carbon particles from being released that are more damaging to the lungs.

Lead is very toxic and accumulates. We desperately needed to get that out of the environment, there are no questions on that at all.
 

President Donald Trump hosted a Black History Month at the White House on Thursday where he announced that Alice Johnson will be his 'Pardon Czar.' The event was attended by several prominent members of the African-American community, such as Kodak Black and Tiger Woods. Johnson, an American criminal justice reform advocate, gained national attention due to her life sentence for a nonviolent drug offense and subsequent release. She was pardoned by Trump in 2020.

 
On the IRS stuff. You know what would solve all this nonsense, and something I've supported for many many years, switch to a flat tax. No more dependents, no more deductions, no more credits, no more itemizations, no more forms, no more filing. Flat rate tax for all working Americans above the poverty level.




Trump’s Attorney General says Americans who oppose Trump “better look out” because Kash Patel was just confirmed as FBI Director.
This is disgusting. This kind of talk has no place in this country.

You could see all of this developing way off in the distance.

I've had plans to dip for over a year now.

I've got my passport and plan on getting an extended visa and I'm leaving and not coming back.
