Some Priorities For RFK, Jr., at HHS

If confirmed by the Senate, Robert Kennedy will take charge of HHS, which controls the FDA, CDC, and NIH. If not confirmed by the Senate, he can still be appointed by the President under the Recess Appointments Clause in Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution.

The following crises were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, on July 26, 2000. The government has yet to take steps to address them.

The author was Dr. Barbara Starfield, a widely respected public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her review, “Is US Health Really the Best in the World?” revealed that, every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people, and severely maims many more.

The breakdown 24 years ago has only become worse. At that time, the FDA approved drugs which killed 106,000 people, and mistreatment and errors in hospitals killed 119,000 people. Priorities for reform:

ONE: The FDA has been routinely approving medicines as safe, when they actually kill people.

TWO: Prestigious medical journals routinely publish glowing studies of medical drugs that are actually killing people.

THREE: The federal government has done NOTHING substantial to reform the deadly medical system.

FOUR: The mainstream press failed to follow up or investigate this explosive ongoing tragedy.

FIVE: The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has never highlighted THIS MEDICAL cause of disease.

SIX: The FDA has never made moves to completely overhaul its drug-approval process.

Mr. Trump's Illusional Bubble, April 1 and 2, 2026

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.

Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."

On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.

Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.

In Mr. Trump's speech to the nation, Paul...

Failed Strategy in Real Time

Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.

One internet observer:

"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?

"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.

"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."

Guess What People Are Lining Up to Buy in War-Torn Ukraine?

Well, it's not "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius."

It's $400,000 Bentley automobiles. A lot of them. Of all the dealerships in Europe, the one in Kiev is in third place for sheer volume.

Take note of this tragic truth:

"Foreign aid is a mechanism by which poor people in rich countries are taxed to support the lifestyles of rich people in poor countries. The aid primarily serves three Ms—: munitions, monuments, and Mercedes for leaders and cronies."
