Sunny and cool at the moment. We had rain overnight and earlier this morning. Should be dry for the next few days with temps in the 70s. I hope to get a but more cleaned up on the patio.
Well, the chaos administration continues. Jennifer Rubin asks "Is The Trump Regime Trying to Kill Us?" Mom and I were talking about the recent employee exits at the CDC and concluded that people are going to have to be more thoughtful about their health care while consulting sources of information outside the government. I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't accept any information as true from RFK, Jr. He has no expertise at all. But we also have to be prepared for the real possibility that medical procedures (like vaccines) may not be available or, functionally unavailable due to cost because insurance companies citing CDC recommendations refuse to pay. Women are already having to consider such eventualities with the policies concerning abortion and women's health care. Who do you trust in the modern information environment.
I think quite a few pundits discussing Trump's actions are asking the wrong question. Generally, they ask CAN he do THAT (fire the head of the Federal Reserve, or a Fed governor, or send troops into a state or city without the consent and against the wishes of either governor or mayor) He can do or try to do anything he damned well pleases. All he has to do is decide that he doesn't need permission or legality to do it. It is like my teachers said in distinguishing between "can" and "may." He might not have legal permission but he has the ability as his many executive orders (many of which are unconstitutional and hence illegal) have shown.
Infidel753 posted a good summation of our current situation. He doesn't see a way out of a government that isn't even a mediocracy but an idiocracy.
