No surprise, but more of the same insanity:

F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine​


Wouldn’t be surprised if the “unofficial” (read: actually official but unpublished and not communicated) policy of this FDA is no new vaccines if they use mRNA (and it doesn’t matter whether they’re synthetic or material derived from human stem cells.) Nevermind approvals—they won’t even be reviewed.

"Press X to doubt"
My guess:

1. The Pentagon was testing some new laser-based anti drone weapon
2. The Pentagon did not inform Sean Duffy or the FAA via the proper channels or set up the test in a “competent” manner
3. Duffy blew his top (already mad at the Pentagon over the DCA heli crash) and overreacted
4. Duffy did not implement the TFR in a competent manner
5. Everyone and their mama (concerned citizens, press, Gov. Abbott, state/Congressional legislators and Senators, local authorities) called The White House and asked “WTF ARE YOU DOING???”
6. Trump told Duffy/Hegseth et al to TACO.
7. TFR was lifted.

In short, this Administration is not competent and we’d be fools to trust them to keep our skies safe.

Question for those who complained Job Biden had a chance to release the files.

Back then DOJ operating normally and didn't take direct orders from the White House ass to who to investigate or prosecute.

Let's say that Merrick Garland immediately after the Epstein/Trump files (since he like to put his name on everything) were released in Jan 2024 began redacting victim names. Let's say that took 3-4 months. We are now into May 2024 and Merrick Garland dumps the files into the public.

What do you think would have been the reaction from the right? Election interference. They would accuse Biden/Garland of rigging the election in favor of Harris.

I have read that since there was still a continuing investigating going on due to Maxwell's appeal, they couldn't release them. Haven't researched to see if that was correct.

Trump for sure involved in this...

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years​

The Gallup Presidential Approval Rating has for decades been the among the top barometers cited by media outlets measuring public opinion of the president’s performance...

Trump’s Gallup approval rating as of last December was among the lowest the organization had found since it began taking the poll in the 1930s.

When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.” ...

Obviously you'd have to be as stupid as the average MAGA to think it's coincidence, but they don't want to come out and say it, probably Herr Trump's fucking goons making threats behind the scenes.

Yeah…no…someone high up in their org did some naughty things and is being blackmailed by our justice department. “You make our problem go away, and we’ll make your problem go away”.
