Kinda long but funny how such macho men love make up wearing leaders. Repressed men love to bash the trans/gay community while sporting their personal chubby in the cargo pants adoring Trump and Vance.

Here's the snippet for that article:
"These are difficult days for people like me: Americans who back the Trump administration for its determination to fight back against establishment tyrannies, but who are now troubled by its excesses."
Yeah, sure. Nobody even knows what that bullshit means. This is a guy who willingly moved to Hungary to be an Orbanist.

A 10-person team of federal health workers was helping Iowa firefighters limit their exposure to fumes from idling vehicles when news broke earlier this month that all but one team member had been fired.
The Cincinnati-based team of scientists traveled to Iowa last August after three fire stations requested their help out of concern that their workers were being exposed to diesel exhaust. They were preparing for a follow-up visit this summer to test the levels of various pollutants in different rooms — including where firefighters eat and sleep — and recommend the best form of ventilation.
“That’s all been put on pause,” said Hannah Echt, a member of the team and a union steward at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. “We haven’t been able to travel since the end of January, and now … there’s no one to do the traveling.”
NIOSH’s congressionally mandated Health Hazard Evaluation program is one of many health and safety services on which firefighters depend that’s been shrunk or eliminated by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “reduction in force” — a purge of more than 10,000 employees.
Firefighters are regularly exposed to toxins and chemicals that affect their physical and mental health, problems compounded by stress and irregular sleep. NIOSH research found that firefighters have a 9 percent greater risk of a cancer diagnosis and a 14 percent greater risk of dying from cancer than the general population.
After years of helping improve firefighters’ health outcomes, people in and out of government fear the NIOSH cuts will lead to major backsliding. Interviews with five current and former NIOSH employees, several of whom were granted anonymity due to fear of retribution, as well as active and retired firefighters, lawmakers and patient advocates, reveal instances in which data collection, safety evaluations and direct services for firefighters have been terminated due to staff reductions.
Workers running the Center for Firefighter Safety, Health and Well-being, which includes the Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program that researches why first responders get sick and die and how to prevent it, were laid off. Services for hundreds of thousands of people exposed to toxins on 9/11 — including thousands of firefighters — are hampered by cuts to NIOSH’s World Trade Center Health Program, which researches and treats cancers and other health problems linked to the terrorist attack.
...
Polls showed firefighters and other first responders overwhelmingly supported Trump’s reelection, and the president has often praised firefighters for their work.

Of all the threads, this is my fave. I just revel in the schadenfreude glow because I’m really just an evil SOB. Just the thought of Trumpers, magas, and trump voters who have to eat a real, factual, shit sandwich because of their “saviour” is terribly gratifying to me. I get great pleasure. Dumb, ignorant mutha fuckers. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest their undergarments.

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

VA to Terminate Home Loan Relief Program | Veterans Guide
Recent changes to VA programs, including the halting of the mortgage rescue program, have left many veterans unsure of their next steps. Veterans Guide explains how we can help you navigate these challenges and secure the benefits you’ve earned.
veteransguide.org
Veterans across the country are grappling with unexpected changes in their benefits and support systems, as recent reports indicate significant shifts in VA programs. These alterations have left many veterans confused and uncertain about their future, with some facing a sudden loss of crucial assistance.
In a move that has caught veterans and advocacy groups by surprise, the Department of Veterans Affairs recently announced it would halt its mortgage rescue program, which had been designed to help veterans avoid foreclosure. Launched just a year ago, the program provided financial assistance to veterans at risk of losing their homes. Now, veterans who were counting on this support are left scrambling for alternative solutions, further complicating their already challenging financial situations.

Farmers want more welfare.
www.ky3.com
Farmers in Fulton and Sharp Counties held a meeting on Saturday, April 26, to figure out how to get a disaster declaration from the federal government.
The agricultural community is trying to get help after the recent tornadoes and floods devastated the area.
Kenneth Wagoner is a farmer who lost everything to the tornado that hit Cave City on March 14. He attended the meeting.
“The tornado that hit Cave City came directly across my property, and it wiped out everything. There’s nothing, no houses, no sheds, no barns, nothing,” Wagoner said.
Fulton County Office of Emergency Management Director Jeremy Langston says farmers are pivotal to both areas.
“Mainly trying to get some push for federal assistance for the agricultural side of things, not just for our area but for the state in general,” Langston said. “We all live in a state here that’s largely based on agriculture and trying to make sure they get some of their needs heard and trying to get some assistance to them as well.”
Its been a few weeks since President Trump put a pause on high import taxes on most US trading partners, while increasing tariffs on China. American farmers worry all the back and forth is setting up what could be the worst farm crisis in almost half a century.

It's almost as if the Russian Asset-in-Chief intended such a calamitous state of affairs. Who could have ever foreseen such misery?

This does seem like an inefficient use of resources. 9 people traveling to Iowa to check emissions levels at some firehouses? Are Iowa firehouses different than the several hundred within driving distance of Cincinnati? Do you need 9 people to do it?
My guess is that this program started with some scientists that were dealing with things like toxins in foam or insufficient breathing apparatus and once those were solved, the bureaucracy was looking for things for these very smart, very expensive people to do so they wouldn't need to lay them off.

Nothing like forming theories with absolutely no knowledge. You don't know what's involved in the inspections, in the science, in the agency or anywhere.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that remediation of airborne toxins is not the simple task you think it is. And yes, it will be structure specific. I don't know about diesel exhaust per se, but the idea that experts have to be on site makes sense based on what I know about other forms of remediation.
But hey, you do you. Slander scientists, almost certainly smarter than you, out of pure ignorance.

I have a different take. I want them to learn. It apparently will take real suffering, since they listen to nobody who knows things, but ideally the damage doesn't have to go too deep. Unfortunately, I fear it will.

Given that Trump has turned down even staunch Trumpers like Sarah Huckabee Sanders for federal aid, good luck to these guys. I know that Trump did give billions in government handouts to farmers in his first term after his trade wars left many farmers in dire shape, but he does seem to be much more reluctant to do so this time. Sucks for them, I guess.Farmers want more welfare.

You are a sad human.
Were any of these people the murderers or rapist your orange god warned you about?
Guess we now get to watch people's lives be turned upside down for asking a better opportunity.
I hope one day you get to understand the fear these people are. We'll see them how much you like due process.
