Bobby joining forces with Trump (and I imagine that on many levels that can’t be easy for him) shows his integrity. He cares more about the issues than himself. This guy is for real, as rare as that is, and I hope Trump doesn’t pull a fast one on him. Head of the HHS would be ideal.

This could be epic in bringing down the pharmaceutical lobby and three letter “ health” agencies. If they can agree on this, much can be done to truly make America great again.

Bobby is legit. One of my best friends knows him personally. The vaccines cause autism. I’m a health care guy for the last 30years. Have treated hundreds of kids since around the year 2000 with the diagnosis. The moms stories were all the same , kid born normally apgar 10, met all mile stones, had a vaccine maybe the 2 nd maybe 6th next day screaming uncontrollably, violent fever etc. kid goes to ER doctor comes out says your kid has autism. Mom says how he was fine yesterday. Dr says he had it you and your pediatrician were essentially too stupid to realize. Have heard hundreds of these stories. It’s the heavy metals they put in to heighten immune response. In the 80’s a left wing friend of mine went to Laos and Cambodia and Vietnam with an international health care group to treat kids whose limbs were blown off by left over land mines. She saw kids getting sick from the vax’s. She mentioned it to her supervisors during an all hands meeting. They sent her home refusing to renew her contract. Apparently too many people wanted to treat foreign limbless kids. Bobby is the only one who has cared and has given up millions and his name to help these people and try to stop it from happening to others.

This is a coordinated thing associated with Malthusian eugenics that never went away despite the end of WW2. I wasn’t going to vote for him only because I knew he couldn’t win. this administration cannot continue to rule. But very happy he is now with Trump and I hope he gets attorney general or head of NIH. Just my 2 cents.

Interesting that he never uttered the word "vaccine." I presume that this indicates discipline and tactics.

While I trust nonpolitician, this was a rare thing-- a political speech I want others to hear abd understand.

if you’ve read his book or summaries of his position, he’s not against vaccines per se. The history of vaccines is troubling to say the least, but Pfizer and Moderna are not vaccines and are not approved as vaccines.

There is no talk of a specific cabinet position because, although there is nothing wrong with a candidate pledging to appoint someone to a cabinet position, the Democrats will engage the lawfare machine. They will say "quid pro quo" and "collusion." They're being smart (Trump and RFK Jr.). The courts and the permanent leftist government class would jump at the chance to bring on a new investigation that will continue into a second Trump administration.

they can say what they like, but trading endorsements for cabinet positions is standard practice. is pete bootyjudge in charge of airplanes because he's an expert?

I thought I made a cogent point. Not sure what your reply means.

Jim, I got your point, which is that if Trump announces a cabinet position for RFK they would accuse him of quid pro quo.

My rebuttal is that cabinet positions for endorsements are standard fare in American politics. There is nothing nefarious or illegal about it.

As for what they'll accuse him of, they already throw everything under the sun at him. They accused him of using secret Nazi codes on Twitter a while back. Nobody inclined to support him believes any of this nonsense. So what are we worried about here?

I wasn't looking for an argument from you. I'm still not. Go pick a fight with another paying subscriber. The call Trump had with Zelensky was entirely appropriate. Vindman and the Democrats made it into an impeachable offense. The expression of my opinion was they that were being prudent knowing how democrats behave, with the help of sympathetic judges.

I wasn't trying to turn this into a thing. I've always respected your take on things, especially the Brazilian plane crash which may have been due to icing after all.

This is a minor issue. What we probably agree on is that this is the best development in American electoral politics that we've seen in a while.

The only thing I'll add is that I don't necessarily trust Trump to follow through on whatever commitments he's made to RFK in private re: cabinet posts. If he announced those publicly, walking them back later would probably be harder.

I’d like to propose two other reason why no "assignment" has been given: 1) RFKJ could qualify for any of several. Not committing leaves room for final assignments to be negotiated with candidates for other posts. 2) keep the enemy guessing.

It was a great speech. See also the rousing reception, with call and response interaction, at a Trump rally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR3fuaKrEwU.

Ideally he would have talked about the Israel vs. neighbours war, climate change and how realistic Net-Zero etc. is, even if the global warming problem is as serious as predicted, the Democrat's extreme avoidance of finding the origins of SARS-CoV-2 and exposing the cover-up within virology and the mainstream media, the corrupt, unsafe, ineffective COVID-19 mRNA and adenovirus vector gene therapy injections (so-called "vaccines") and how they were allowed, falsely promoted, and unforgivably forced on people, the masking BS, lockdowns, school closures, banning of vitamin D3, ivermectin etc. for COVID-19 treatment, failure to promote vitamin D3 supplementation for all, and the cover-ups for all these disastrous failings.

There's no way people can be healthy with the lousy levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D they generally have today - often half or less of the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L their immune systems need to function properly.

For RFK Jr's troubles in this, I expect he'll receive little better than the lukewarm shoulder from Trump, unfortunately.

... we can count on our policy community to address our concerns, with strongly worded letters and speeches! Here in America, it's no longer cream rising to the top inasmuch as it now is, hot air - Samuel.
