The Trump admin talks about the Iran war, and it appears to have been quite real, but it is the people and their laws which seem to be constantly in the Admin’s sights. The people are getting one “bombshell” news item after another where long-settled law is under attack (in this case medical records privacy). Has the Executive Branch been taken over by a hostile economic power, either a foreign government or a corporate syndicate of some kind?
JH Kellogg was a physician, so his view came with that stamp of medical authority.
That probably goes back to JH Kellogg and his Seventh Day Adventist religion, and possibly back to the Puritans.
I can’t wait for the GOP to get their electoral whomping in the next few elections. They needed to think of the good of the country instead of their republican political club.
I wanted to highlight a couple paragraphs:
Usually, a complaint from a state or business triggers lengthy reviews before a God Squad hearing. But in this case, the fate of imperiled whales, sea turtles and other at-risk species was in the hands of Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, who invoked “national security” for the exemption, the first such rationale given since the 1973 passage of the Endangered Species Act.
“When development in the gulf is chilled, we are prevented from producing the energy we need as a country,” Hegseth said at the meeting. “Recent hostile action by the Iranian terror regime highlights yet again why robust domestic oil production is a national security imperative.”
Laws are for little people.
I noted the other day that a page at CDC dot gov had a questionable source MBFC rating.
