ONE NATION UNDER GOD. We are blessed to live in the greatest country the world has ever known. A nation worth defending. A nation worth preserving. A nation worth fighting for. I will never stop fighting for America: for our history, our values, our culture, and the principles that have made us the beacon of hope for generations. When tyranny rises, America stands for freedom. When darkness spreads, America shines as a light to the world. When others look for opportunity, they look to the United States. As we approach our 250th birthday, let us remember how extraordinary this nation truly is. Let us take pride in our flag, gratitude for those who built this country and defended it, and confidence in the future we will leave for our children. We are the defenders of liberty. We are the land of opportunity. We are the United States of America. And our greatest days are still ahead. 🇺🇸

Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story? You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements. I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff. In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility. I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times. Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention. Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months). His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats. Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.

Hi there! I studied evolutionary/developmental biology at university. The 'advanced biology' you're referring to Even in advanced biology, there are two sexes, across all anisogamous species. Even additional karyotypes result in a male or a female And mammals cannot change sex.

“Every faithful Methodist that has lived up to, and faithfully fulfilled the requirements of his religion, according to the best light he had, doing good to all, and evil to none; injuring no person upon the earth, honoring his God as far as he knows, will have as great a heaven as he ever anticipated in the flesh, and far greater. Every Presbyterian, and every Quaker, and every Baptist, and every Roman Catholic member, every reformer of whatever class or grade, that lives according to the best light they have, and never have had an opportunity of receiving a greater light than the one in their possession, will have and enjoy all they live for.” - Brigham Young God loves ALL His children. God is fair. God is good.

Mr. Davies, For a brief, fleeting 10-15 years, WE ALMOST HAD IT. The years between 1998-2012, roughly, we were very close, when no one really gave a damn either way. I remember it distinctly. An enormous shift in attitude’s & acceptance had occurred, after the horrors of being gay in the 80’s to the early-mid 90’s. I was NOT alone in feeling this, even amongst the upper echelons of the ‘Gay Mafia’ I used to hang around with said the same. The original aim was EQUALITY & we were, more or less, there. Then along came identity politics, gender ideology & Que*r Theory, which screwed everything up. Stonewall’s CEO, Ruth Hunt, said in 2014/15, & I quote, that their shift in focus was “known to be controversial, that it would be difficult, that people would LOSE by that & that herself & the staff thought THAT WAS A PRICE WORTH PAYING.” In other words, they KNEW this would receive pushback, yet were unwilling to listen or engage with those of us who had serious concerns. A subsequent Stonewall CEO, Nancy Kelley, called lesbians “sexual racists” for not including men in their dating pool. Michael Cashman called for those who had questions, predominantly women, about this shift to be “defecated upon” & there was “no debate” to be had. And NOW look where we are. Look around at the utter mess we’re in. If you’re going to “look at yourself as an idiot”, at least be aware of WHY you might feel that way & what part you, yourself, played in it. You cannot cheerlead & encourage an ideology that has caused so much destruction & damage, & then pretend to be flummoxed as to the reasons WHY everything has got so much worse. Just so we’re clear…

Ughhhh rage bait is lame and gay. What I will say is: episode 1-3: the rise and fall of a man ep 4-6: the rise of that man’s son and his redemption eps 7-9: girl plays on god mode and nothing matters

Abby Phillip’s incredible journey on Joe Biden and the cognitive decline story: June 17, 2024: Republicans are using misleading videos to weaponize questions about Biden’ age. June 28, 2024 (post-debate): Isn’t it possible that Biden’s age is affecting his ability to do the job? May 27, 2026: What kind of political system makes it ok to lie to people about what everyone knows to be true? This is CNN.

RIP Marcia Lucas, ex wife of George Lucas and Oscar Winner for her editing of Star Wars. She let rip on the Disney Sequels and every single word was true. They never did call her.

When you perform for Clinton and Obama but back out of a concert for a major birthday for your country because of who is in office now, you have made it partisan. Not the event nor the event planners.

Trump just restored Columbus Circle in DC. It hasn't flowed in 2 decades.

It took a non-Jewish host on CNBC this morning to say in 20 seconds what so many are afraid to: “Anti-Zionism gives the left an out to be antisemitic.” @JoeSquawk nailed it, Anti-Zionism “gives them an excuse” — a shield for the Jew-hatred we’re watching explode across campuses, media, and culture. The 2.1M impressions on my pinned “orgy of antisemitism” post — and the nonstop “it’s not antisemitism, it’s anti-Zionism” replies — prove him right. Stop hiding behind the label. Stop pretending this is a distinction with a difference. It isn’t. Call it what it is: antisemitism. We document it all at @AntisemitismWatch. #JewHatred

The “Zionists should be put in concentration camps” lady in Texas lost 62-38 and I’m going to start measuring the speed of civilization’s downfall by how often I feel the need to post this clip.

Large quantities of soy.

Make AOC bartend again.

Imprisoning or deporting Hasan Piker would in itself make the whole decade-long MAGA movement worthwhile.
