Bhattacharya is at NIH (and CDC) to be a mouthpiece for the administration. He does the bidding of Russell Vought, who aims to destroy science - as we just saw in the 800 page tirade he called a proposed OMB rule.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

As a Catholic, I take great offense to Donald Trump mocking Catholics. I wish Trump would focus on lowering prices instead. The American economy had negative GDP growth last quarter. That’s what he should be focused on instead of making fun of Catholics.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
