Eliminate The FDA?

Florida Surgeon General Ladapo on why they ended all vaccine mandates, including for schoolchildren in the state:

“Is it appropriate for a government to dictate to you what you should put in your body? No! It’s absolutely not appropriate.”

"Data" v. reality. Let’s see which one wins.

Welker: Since April, we’ve actually been losing manufacturing jobs.

Bessent: "I'm not sure what the people who collect the data have been doing. We need good data….Most of the jobs created under Biden went to illegal immigrants”

Let me put it this way: Biden counted on data to win hearts and minds. How’d that work out for him?

Welker: Goldman Sachs says 86% of the tariff revenue collected so far has been paid by Americans. Do you acknowledge that these tariffs are a tax on American consumers?

Bessent: No, I don't.

Is it still a hoax?

Massie: "I don't know if the Speaker misspoke when he said Donald Trump was an informant ... the Speaker needs to clarify that. And if it's a hoax, why was Donald Trump an informant to a hoax?" pic.twitter.com/NttqQojiM9

Now you tell them?

Duckworth: "It was an illegal move by the Trump administration. There's a thing called due process in this country and that needed to have happened.

Duckworth: "It was an illegal move by the Trump administration. There's a thing called due process in this country and that needed to have happened. And the fact it happened in international waters actually opens Americans to a similar action by our adversaries ... he's setting a precedent here that puts Americans in danger."

When did the GOP become the party of absolute stupidity?

Sen. Roger Marshall: "Look, President Trump picked Robert F Kennedy Jr to be a disrupter to the CDC, and that's exactly what he's doing ... in my humble opinion not every person needs every vaccine" pic.twitter.com/zlacdKqCFf

Something tells me DisneyWorld is going to absolutely shutdown.

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, and chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to try to lift vaccine mandates for Florida, did your department do any data analysis of how many new cases of these diseases there will be with no vaccine mandates?… pic.twitter.com/4N2imThzAZ

TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, and chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to try to lift vaccine mandates for Florida, did your department do any data analysis of how many new cases of these diseases there will be with no vaccine mandates?

JOSEPH LADAPO: Absolutely not

TAPPER: You didn't even do a projection?

LADAPO: It's an issue of right and wrong

Death and disease and crippling after effects are “right,” and vaccine mandates and public health are “wrong”? Make it make sense.

LADAPO: I'm not alone. It just so happens that most of the people who have largely microphones tend to align with the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics

TAPPER: I'm kinda shocked you have not done any projection or data analysis of what this is going… pic.twitter.com/6yZh2UceJf

Public health is a conspiracy theory. 🤷🏻‍♂️

FOX: Are these protesters actually being financed from the outside, and is that something Homeland is looking at -- the financing of how these so-called organic protests are happening?

HOMAN: Absolutely ... they will be prosecuted too pic.twitter.com/7fWb5BHm2n

So is free speech.  (The First Amendment has entered the chat.)

I’m really tired of getting upset by these idiots. There’s just no point to it. The people they try to sue have their defenses. 7 no-bill grand jury votes tells me all I need to know at this time.
