Morning Notes, With Rabies

MAHA A/k/a “culling the herd.” He’s not speaking. They’re not talking about him. I’m old enough to remember when Biden did this after an overseas trip in October. It was in the headlines and chewed over by the chattering class until January of the following year. "Look deep into my eyes. 👀 You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. Gas prices are down. When I snap my fingers, you will wake up believing it!”

(Crude oil prices are down almost 3% today. That could change by close of business. But Brent is still at $104, and WTI at $99. The price at the pump is not going anywhere, except probably up.)
I had to come back to it. GOAT:
Local health departments in North Carolina have evaluated hundreds of people for rabies after they interacted with baby goats that were part of a mobile petting zoo, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

As of Wednesday, 284 people have been evaluated by local health departments, while others have consulted with a healthcare provider directly to assess their potential rabies risk.

The goats were owned by Farm Adventures, based in Harmony, North Carolina. Between July 28 and August 27, local officials said in a statement, the farm took the goats throughout the state and visited at least 10 locations, including a Masonic picnic, assisted living centers and a back-to-school bash, as well as private events.
Since July 2026, multiple United States jurisdictions have reported local increases in human rabies exposures involving known rabies vectors or animals in which rabies is less commonly reported. Several high-profile rabies outbreaks and mass rabies exposure events have highlighted the importance of performing careful rabies risk assessments and following evidence-based recommendations for administering PEP.
Culling the herd.

    Hey, hey, RFK how many kids did you kill today?

    It should be statutorily illegal for a lawyer to hold a position like that or things like Ag secretary. And they can require that anyone who is head of the Department of Education has to have taught in public schools.
