Trump needs to sign an EO to release the Epstein list!

[Del.]

Maybe there aren't enough things worth giving a fuck for.

If it's not about someone dying then it's not that bad to me.

That was the last 4 years..

These look Great!!!

That's a good point, Del.

Maybe we spend too much time focusing on the trivial when our time on this planet is limited.

I have an older friend who's a beer blogger

Shameless plug:  https://firkinbeer.com/author/rwatt/

He cares about two things. How his retirement is doing, because he has to afford to live until he dies, and people dying.

I still have some time left so...  Well, maybe.

Seems like, anymore, everything is about someone dying.

[Newbeeee™]

Trump admitted to having them, remember? He said that he declassified them but was caught on tape acknowledging that he didn't.

Yes - i remember he had "some"
Whether they are these....and I certainly question the storage placement....

[Newbeeee™]

I blame people just not giving a fuck anymore, but sure. Those come in to play.

Prions disease is real....

Did somebody say something about it's not a big deal if people aren't dying?

Really I think it's more about who is dying rather than if they die. 

Shuttering of USAID Will Lead to Millions of Deaths Around the World: Studies

On the eve of USAID's final day, former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama gathered with former staffers as well as U2 singer and humanitarian Bono on a video call. Obama described USAID's gutting as a "travesty" and a "tragedy," according to the Associated Press.

"You've showed the great strength of America through your work," Bush told the USAID staffers. "Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you."

Trump, evidently, does not.

Just how many lives won't be saved as a result of the closure of USAID has been the subject of several studies and projections.

Here are some of the biggest estimated impacts of the U.S. shirking Kennedy's "obligations."
Hundreds of thousands of HIV-AIDS deaths

To fight against HIV globally, President Bush launched PEPFAR, or the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, in 2003. The program supports some 20.6 million people with HIV worldwide, including 566,000 children, through providing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) to control the infection. The program also provided HIV testing services to 83.8 million people in 2024.

USAID was PEPFAR's main implementing agency, and while the State Department is seeking $2.9 billion in funding to continue HIV-AIDS programs, it's far lower than the at least $4.7 billion budget PEPFAR had.

A study published in the Retrovirology journal in March said that the suspension of USAID funding could hamper access to ART and cause a potential resurgence of up to 630,000 HIV-AIDS-related deaths annually, with sub-Saharan Africa most affected.
Millions of malaria cases

USAID has invested $9 billion to help tackle malaria, the mosquito-borne illness that is preventable and curable but causes millions of deaths in Africa every year, since the inception of the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) in 2005.

An impact tracker by Boston University infectious disease mathematical modeller and health economist Dr. Brooke Nichols and Amsterdam-based product manager Eric Moakley forecast almost 10 million additional cases of malaria globally—of which an estimated 7 million would affect children—in just one year due to USAID funding cuts.

The tracker also only considered African countries that were part of PMI and did not include countries in Asia that have also been supported by USAID. "Thus we may be underestimating the effect of PMI's cessation," it said.

Millions of Sudanese to lose access to 'lifesaving' health services

The war-torn northeast African country of Sudan was among those worst hit by USAID's suspension. More than half of its 50 million population is in need of humanitarian assistance as residents suffer from famine and disease outbreaks amid ongoing conflict. The World Health Organization estimates that 5 million Sudanese people may lose access to "lifesaving" health services as a result of the cuts, according to the Washington Post.

Naomi Ruth Pendle, a lecturer at the University of Bath in the U.K., wrote for The Conversation in April that the sudden suspension of USAID is "is set to make the famine in Sudan the deadliest for half a century."

Yea, except now it's that other kind. 

How does your neck feel these days. Did Trump tell you do forget about anything else lately?

Well , since I don't have Admin rights. I can't alter your response.

But I can say. I'm happy with the progress being made, I don't FOCUS on the medias broadcast of sensationalism.

My days of watching soap operas have hardened me to the drama that drives your posts.

Tune in next time because "These are The Days of Our Lives"

I hope you didn't block me from saying "You are a Nancy"

And my neck is fine. "Whack a Mole " ended with Biden.

[neurosis]

Well , since I don't have Admin rights. I can't alter your response.

The only altered response is you name calling.

I turned it off because it seemed like you got a little butt hurt and didn't see the humor in it.  I thought that you noticed it the first day.

It was meant as a joke.

But I can say. I'm happy with the progress being made

We're not all going to see these things as progress. An added 15% tax doesn't sound like progress to me. *If* the EU invests, then that is at least some progress.

Japan is already pushing back on their reported investments saying that it was a limit, not a guarantee. Yet we still pay that 15% tax.

If it's not passed on to consumers then it is a win?

We purchase a lot of pharmaceutical's and pharmaceutical ingredients from the EU. Does that mean that our pharmaceutical prices won't go down?

I hope you didn't block me from saying "You are a Nancy"

Nah.. I turned it off. I only had a few words marked. It was more to see if you would stop hiding behind misspelled insults and start using the actual insults.

Sooo You Targeted me??

[neurosis]

Incog, I can't make a post without you "targeting me".

You think it's funny when you guys are indignant toward me.
