I know a 23 year old know-it-all who is convinced that antibiotics (or any medicine and all vaccines, for that matter) only make us weaker and that the only reason that doctors prescribe them is to receive kickbacks from the drug companies.
We still have it and in greater numbers than most people would imagine, but it is now called Hansen’s Disease. With modern medicine, it is treatable, but it takes a long course of treatment.
I remember reading as a kid in the 1960s about armadillos and leprosy.
I don’t know if they have them, but I have heard of something called an “armadillo race”. Everyone would take off on their dirt bike at the start and the winner was the first one back with a live armadillo.
Trump claims a judge “declared sports unconstitutional”.
“We’re in the process of working very hard,” Trump said. “We had a bad judge’s decision. A judge that knew nothing about sports. Declared sports unconstitutional, can you believe it?”
It was unclear which decision Trump was referring to, but he was likely talking about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a lower court’s ruling about excluding transgender athletes from women’s sports.
But the Supreme court was on the side supporting the ban, so either Trump has taco’d again and is in fravor of trans athletes, or else he’s deeply confused. I know which side my money’s on.
“Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House and its Executive Residence. The President has no – and claims no – constitutionally assigned authority over that property, which is designed and maintained for the use of all Presidents, current and future, and for the American people,” the DC Circuit Court of Appeals said in a 2-1 ruling siding with the nation’s top historic preservation group.
“The National Trust has shown, compellingly, that Congress has not ceded unfettered authority to the Executive Branch to dramatically redesign, reshape, and reconstruct the White House – the People’s House – to fit a particular President’s desires,” the court wrote in its unsigned opinion.
The court said it would pause its ruling for two weeks to give Trump time to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Appeals court says Trump is unlawfully constructing White House ballroom
That’s a good question.
I know how long it will take Trump to not give a shit.
How long was there between Trump saying the new ballroom wouldn’t touch the east wing, and the bulldozers demolishing the east wing?
(rhetorical)
Two Obama and Biden Appellate Court Judges just voted against the desperately needed Military Center, required for the National Security of Washington, D.C., and our Country, itself. Highly Respected Judge, Neomi Rao, stated the following key points, among others, in a strongly worded dissent:
“This was a blatant abuse of discretion…To begin with, the district court had no jurisdiction because the Trust has no standing to stop construction at the White House…[T]he balance of equities overwhelmingly favors the government. The district court elevated the aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby over the government’s security interests in the ballroom and the security risks of leaving an open construction site at the President’s home and office…These errors in equitable judgment require vacating the injunction…The district court seized supervision of construction at the White House, and my colleagues affirm this judicial overreach…Because the injunction is beyond the proper province of the federal courts, construction should be allowed to continue.”
The decision has been stayed, and does not take effect for a period of time. We will be immediately appealing to the United States Supreme Court. The Military and Secret Service are viewing this horrendous, politically motivated, and unlawful ruling as a National Security threat to our Nation in that the entire Complex is being built for the protection of our Country and, additionally, all future Presidents. The single, integrated project includes Bomb Shelters, State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Facilities, Structures and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass. It is all tied together as one big, expensive, and very complex unit, which is vital for National Security and Military Operations of the United States of America! The Circuit Court’s decision, which is totally wrong on the vital subject of STANDING, of which the plaintiff has none, severely jeopardizes the lives and welfare of the people who work, and will be working, at the White House — including all future Presidents of the United States, and their families, as well as the lives of all those visiting, such as Heads of State and other Dignitaries, and all Americans who wish to visit the historic, beautiful Executive Mansion. The Circuit Court also refused to acknowledge that the desperately needed, and totally secure Ballroom, which is being built ahead of schedule and under budget, is a Gift from President Trump and Great Patriots of the United States of America. There will be no expense to the American Taxpayer. This unjust decision must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety. Thank you for your attention to this deeply important National Security matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
