My husband’s theory is that Trump is selling snake oil alternatives knowing health care cuts are coming (and more may be on the way), driving people to cheap “alternative” care instead of pharmaceuticals and medical care that won’t be covered. Convince people they are being freed from “medical slavery” and allowed freedom to design their own care based on their own research.

Could be. It’s pretty nuts that no sooner than Trump deleted his MedBed conspiracy video he posts a Dharma Initiative CBD oil cure-all for the elderly video.

St. Louis’s tornado was months ago, but it’s still waiting for hundreds of millions in federal recovery funds to arrive. It’s part of Trump’s plan to shift responsibility to the states and shrink the agency.​


“… Largely missing from the recovery efforts, according to Rand, city officials and other residents: the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“I’ve never seen someone from FEMA out on the streets,” Rand said.

That is by design.

St. Louis is a test case for the Trump administration’s new policy of shifting more responsibility for natural disasters to states and cities. City officials and local residents who are still clearing rubble from destroyed buildings four months after the tornado struck said the experiment isn’t going well.

Many of FEMA’s core functions related to preparing for natural disasters and leading recovery efforts after they strike have ground to a halt as the Trump administration redefines the agency, according to more than a dozen FEMA employees and local officials, as well as a review of internal government documents.…”

“… Crucial contracts and grants haven’t been approved, caught up in layers of new bureaucracy. A wave of senior staff departed the agency when Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency offered buyouts, taking decades of experience with them. Around 400 FEMA employees have been detailed to work at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as that agency rapidly expands. And the administration has started dismantling the agency’s disaster-response infrastructure, which was strengthened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

… As a result, entire streets remain lined by shattered houses with yards covered by heaps of the city’s famous red bricks and torn-up trees.

Much of the damage occurred in the majority Black northern sections of St. Louis. …”

It’s part of Project 2025 and the right-wing’s efforts to break the government.

“See, we told you the government can’t do shit.”

“Remember the GREAT Ronald Reagan’s warning words about the government, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”

Government IS BAD.

It must be broken.
