​Kennedy Jr. is no remedy for future

John Roberts: what will you do about the monster you’ve created?

Like Dr. Frankenstein, you and your Trumplican cohorts in the operating room of the United States Supreme Court created a monster with “beautiful” hair, a lying mouth, and a malignant narcissistic brain who claims he is a genius and promises the world “I alone can do it, I am president of the United States — and I can do anything I want.”

A New Yorker cartoon reminds us of how many mistakes we have made while attempting to govern ourselves. Four cavemen dressed in their animal skins and wearing long hair are standing near the cave entrance. One is displaying a granite square block, one a granite block with a number of projections and one with a rock resembling a wheel. This could be the beginning of the invention of the first wheel desperately needed for the progress of Homo sapiens.

But the oldest and largest caveman is holding up the arm of the caveman with the square block, indicating he is the “winner” of this contest — and this is one of the numerous mistakes made by us as we “progress.” This could be a distant relative of Fred Trump choosing his son Donald to succeed him as the Great Leader of cavers in the world.

The descendent of Mr. Caveman, President Donald Trump of the Divided States of America and the CEO of the White House Mall and Mercantile has held two dinners lately so his loyal sickofans in his cabinet and political party can pay tribute and thank him for his loyalty and political skills — and create “BREAKING NEWS!”

One dinner for 30 loyalists was held at the Executive Club, an ultra exclusive club where it costs $500,000 to enjoy fellow members of the MAGA, MAHA and MAWF (that is: Make America Great Again, Make America Healthy Again, and the latest one, Make America White Forever). No dates have been provided to reveal old dates of being great and healthy “again.”

The club is in Georgetown, where many of the rich live and where many politicians go to get rich. This dinner featured a billionaire brawl between Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte, shouting obscenities at one another and threatening to beat the crap out of each other. The restaurant should charge an additional fee for such displays. What a commercial: “Watch Billionaires Beat the Crap Out of One Another!” The news story did not state whether Secretary of Health and Human Resources Robert Kennedy, Jr., with his medical skills, was present to repair physical damage to members if necessary.

The Lyin’ King also threw a big dinner in the former Rose Garden for Congressional members who have always voted to support his agenda. No one seems to know how many people attended the dinner. There are 271 Trumplican Senate and House members, so the maximum attendance should have been 266. At least five were blacklisted from the dinner, three Republican senators and two Republican house members who had voted against his BBB, his “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

His reason for the dinner? “I’ll tell you very simply why you’re here: because you are the ones that I never had to call at four o’clock in the morning. You are the ones that have been my friend.” Fascinating.

Who else did not attend? Did Cramer, Hoeven, and Fedorchak attend? CEO Trump praised House Speaker Mike Johnson for leading all the blind sheep. Trump said only 16 “made life very difficult for him,” but he didn’t name them. I hope a reporter will publish the 16 names!

Reliable source: “RFK Jr. is a threat to every American”

Last week I wanted to put many blisters all over Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth by listing reasons why he was no longer “Minnesota Nice.” This week it’s going to be Secretary of Health and Human Resources Robert F. Kennedy’s turn to absorb the heat.

A former congressional representative who knows him well summarized why he should never have been appointed to the cabinet position: “RFK,Jr, is a threat to the health and wellbeing of every American. During his testimony in a committee hearing, he dismissed science and sowed confusion. The challenge before us — from disease outbreaks to mental health crises — demand moral clarity, scientific expertise and leadership rooted in fact. Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.”

This statement came from a close acquaintance: former Representative Joe Kennedy III, his uncle. Several other members of the Kennedy dynasty in the Divided States of America publicly criticized him for endorsing Trump in 2024 and for decimating many critical health organizations like the National Institute of Health and the Centers for Disease Control. Although the third oldest among his ten siblings, none support him for one of the most important positions in the cabinet. Trump, being of unsound mind for life and body presently, could not resist the power of having a Hyannis Kennedy name in the MAGA cult. In addition, a grandson of President John F Kennedy, Jack Schlossberg, agreed in print: “RFK LOSER IS A THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP WHO PLEASURES HIMSELF by lying to Congress.”

RFK, Jr. may suffer from a new virus called brain rot

He was nine when uncle (President JFK) was assassinated in Dallas in 1963 and 14 when his father, Robert, was assassinated in Los Angeles in 1968 on June 6 while making a run for the presidency (Notice: another June 6/D-Day incident!).

At age 15, he began his life as a drug addict with heroin. At 16, he was arrested for cannabis possession in Massachusetts, had been expelled from two boarding schools for the rich, led a gang of rich kids known as the Hyannis Port Terrors which kept busy vandalizing neighborhood property, stealing booze and “stuff,” and drug use. His first cousin Caroline Kennedy, who was later appointed ambassador to Japan, blamed him for leading other siblings and cousins of the Kennedy Klans “down the path of drug addiction.” She also referred to him as a “predator,” not stating whether he was a sexual and/or drug predator.

Because of Kennedy money, he entered Harvard, continued to use heroin and cocaine, and, with his brother David, gained a rapid reputation as a user-dealer. He graduated from Harvard with a BA degree in American History and Literature and continued to be a user and dealer of heroin and cocaine for a total of 14 years. He then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, earning a Juris Doctor degree. In 1982 he was sworn in as an assistant district attorney for Manhattan, but he failed the New York bar exam and resigned in 1983. In 1983, he was charged with heroin possession in Rapid City, South Dakota, pled guilty, and was sentenced to two years of probation and community service. He entered a drug treatment center, and at the same time, worked as a volunteer for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He was required to finish drug treatment. He claims he quit after 14 years of almost constant use from age 15. (Could this result in brain rot?)

He finally was admitted to the New York Bar in 1985 and was hired as a senior attorney by the Hudson River Fishermen’s Association. He supervised environmental lawsuits on East Coast estuaries and was a board member of fishery organizations. He also served as an editor of Indian Country Today, at that time the largest Native American newspaper. Suddenly he was in Chile, leading the opposition against damming a major river.

The big question: why has RFK, Jr. never reached adulthood at 71?

It’s the old adage: the more I know about Kennedy the less I know about him. For some reason, he has never become an adult. When confronted with truths he depends on lies and maybes. He morphs to a belligerent teenager when challenged about his various conspiracies. He wants to achieve something noble that will bring him a Nobel Prize in some field of endeavor, but he can’t concentrate enough on a problem to pass a bar exam. He seems to suffer from brain rot, a disease that dims synapses or explodes them. If he hadn’t been rich, perhaps working in a fast-food joint might have tempered his tantrums and his income so he couldn’t buy pounds of heroin and cocaine over his 14 years of zombiehood.

He was pretty good in the environmental field, but he has never appeared to understand that science has the only answers to healthy minds, bodies and livable environments. Like Trump, he has been married three times. His yelling and abusing interruptions while being questioned by Congresswomen reveals what he thinks of half the race. He turns into a Hyannis Port Terrorist. We have to assume that the murders of a country’s president and a presidential candidate, an uncle and a father, have had a profound effect on his growth as a man of standing. What does he dream about at night? He attended a private day school in Boston and lived with a surrogate family during his high school teen years, another four years without a father much of the time.

Millions in the world will die because of stupidity, Kennedy and Trump

Trumplicans have a huge advantage over liberals. They hate their neighbors who are brown, Black, Democrats, those who carry the multi-colored LBGTQUIA+ flag, and those who believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). “The Chosen One” and the Hyannis Port Terrorist are firing about 300,000 civil servants, including many thousands who are scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers of Disease Control CDC), and employees of laboratories and research universities in every state in the Divided States of America who were researching diseases and health around the world.

The British medical journal The Lancet, considered to be one of the most reliable in the world, has researched what is going to happen because of severe cuts in funding just the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), not counting funding cuts for the NIH and CDC. The Lancet is seldom wrong. Its experts estimate that 14.05 million people of all ages, including 4.54 million children younger than five years old, will die from disease by 2030.

Kennedy said many times when he was on the campaign trail for the presidency that he would “under no circumstances join Trump on a presidential ticket because his and Trump’s positions could not be further apart, Trump was a horrible human being, a discredit to democracy and was a psychopath.” Shortly after making these statements, Kennedy endorsed Trump and said they “were aligned on many key issues.”

So, we are supposed to believe him when he evaluates and rejects vaccines, opposes fluoride use, replaces members of medical committees with non-doctors and known anti-vaxxers, foments conspiracies, fires thousands of experts in many scientific and medical fields? We need a leader who is not lying when he says: “Anybody can get the booster.”

Remove him immediately from leadership so he can be directly involved in treatment for a brain rot virus. Anyone who rejects science should never be near a podium or gavel.
