“… “All of the [regional contracts] were terminated on an unprecedented timeline that may set a record for abruptness since I can already see the termination in [NIH] Reporter,” epidemiologist Eric Whitsel of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has been a principal investigator (PI) on the study for 22 years, wrote in an email referencing the agency’s grants database. “It’s a sad day indeed for women’s health research because there is much more to learn from these remarkable women about predicting cognitive decline and healthy aging, as well as managing chronic disease in the oldest old. Moreover, there are many earlier career scientists in the U.S. who depend on the WHI platform and resource to train, then launch and advance their careers in medicine and public health, as I once did.” …”

Wherein the POTUS seeks to effectively rescind Titles VI (no federal assistance if you discriminate based on race, color or national origin), VII (prohibition on employment discrimination) and VIII (Fair Housing Act) of the Civil Rights Act by executive order (at least as to disparate impact).

Scoop: Musk vs. Bessent dispute erupted into West Wing shouting match​



“Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessentgot into a heated shouting match in earshot of President Trump and other officials in the White House last week during a dispute about the IRS, two witnesses and three sources briefed on the matter tell Axios.

…
  • "It wasn't a fight about right or wrong. It was about control," another administration official familiar with the disagreement said. …
  • "Scott can't stand" Musk. "That goes pretty deep and pretty far back. But he's acting like a grown-up about it."…”

Reminder that the last IrS director was appointed because of Musk's influence without Scott's approval.

The Trump Administration Is Preparing to Send American Allies to Their Deaths​

If the Afghans in the United States are deported, they will likely be executed.​




“…While approximately 76,000 of these refugees arrived during Operation Allies Welcome, the military operation following the fall of Afghanistan, thousands more came under President Biden’s Operation Enduring Welcome, which created a pipeline for those Afghans left behind. The Trump administration has plans to shutter OEW.

In mid-April, the Trump administration announced plans to revoke 9,000 Afghans’ temporary protected status (TPS), which currently protects them from being deported to dangerous and unstable countries.

… Last week, the Department of Homeland Security sent emails to Afghan refugees telling them to “self-deport” back to Afghanistan.

At the same time, according to multiple people active in the Afghan-American community who requested anonymity due to fear of reprisals, two Afghan refugees were improperly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and remain in custody.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration appears to be improving relations with the Taliban. Zalmay Khalizad, who served as Special Representative for Afghan Reconciliation in both the first Trump administration and the Biden administration, arrived in Kabul in late March, ostensibly to secure George Glezmann, an American citizen whom the Taliban released after kidnapping him in 2022. A few days later, the Trump administration removed the bounties on several Taliban officials including Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban’s minister of interior. …”

What’s the reason for this other than racism?
MAGAs hate being labeled as racists. Well, here is your chance to change the narrative. Will any speak up about this?
 


I’m sure one of our board MAGAts or recreational contrarians will be right along to call out this wasteful use of taxpayer dollars. Any moment now!!! They are so opposed to wasteful government spending of taxpayer dollars, and they’re definitely absolutely certainly not hypocrites, so they will definitely be right along to criticize this!

A real Macho man
 


Trump has reverted to a 13-year-old with his posts today.

“It sucks!!!”

“He’s not that good anyway”

“Vladimir, STOP!”

“It better stop, NOW!”

“NICE!”

Freaky Friday a day early?

Alzheimer’s Aggression

Alzheimer’s aggression most often flares up during the later stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more from WebMD about minimizing this common symptom.
www.webmd.com www.webmd.com

Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s disease lash out for no clear reason. They may get upset or angry easily. They may curse, hurl insults, or scream. They might even throw things or resist caregivers by pushing and hitting. This kind of aggression usually starts when people get to the later stages of the disease.

No one knows for sure why it happens. Aggression may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease itself. It could also be a reaction when a person feels confused or frustrated.
