Kennedy is kind of the king of uber creepy metaphors.

It appears that Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has told Pete Hegseth to go fuck himself.

Fox News host complains about low teen pregnancy rates:
"The problem is teens and young adults. From ages 15-19, the fertility rate is down 7%"
Children in Lubbock, Texas were admitted to the hospital with liver damage. Not from measles. From vitamin A toxicity — because their parents followed RFK Jr.’s advice and gave them cod liver oil to treat measles. He is the sitting U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I never would have dreamed I would live to see the day when a major media outlet would lament that not enough 15-year-olds were getting pregnant.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Pedocon theory strikes again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Oh, The Hypocrisy!!
The most criminal American regime is warning its own employees to be less naughty.
Quote:The White House has written to staff reminding them that insider trading is a federal offense after a flurry of online bets cashed in on Donald Trump’s foreign policy decisions. The email came after a series of lucrative wagers were placed on Trump’s decisions, such as pausing strikes in Iran and toppling Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro, with many of the bets landing in the hours before the president’s announcements.
Quote:It goes on to say it is a “criminal offense for anyone to use nonpublic information to buy or sell these contracts,” adding that “government ethics regulations prohibit the use of nonpublic information for the private benefit of an employee or any other third party.”
“All White House employees are reminded that the misuse of nonpublic information by government employees for financial benefit is a very serious offense and will not be tolerated,” it concludes.
