Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), removed all 17 prior CDC members in June.

Ralph Abraham was appointed as the Principal Deputy Director of the CDC by RFK Jr.

Ralph is is a staunch opponent of abortion, supporting strict restrictions and the classification of abortion drugs as controlled substances.

He ended the state's longstanding vaccine promotion program, including advertising and mass vaccination events for COVID-19, influenza, and monkey pox.

His health department waited several months to inform the public about a whooping cough (pertussis) outbreak, even after two infants died.

He has advocated for the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, despite these treatments being widely discredited by infectious disease experts

Senior CDC official: Loss of measles elimination status in U.S. would be ‘cost of doing business’: Stat News

With measles transmission in the United States at levels that haven’t been seen in decades, the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday that he would not view the loss of the country’s measles elimination status as a significant event.

“Not really,” said Ralph Abraham, a physician who formerly served as Louisiana’s surgeon general. “You know, it’s just the cost of doing business, with our borders being somewhat porous [and] global and international travel.”

Someone that clearly express the Fascistic profile of the Trump administration: Yes, It’s Fascism - The Atlantic

 

 

So the United States, once the world’s exemplary liberal democracy, is now a hybrid state combining a fascist leader and a liberal Constitution; but no, it has not fallen to fascism. And it will not.

 

In which case, is there any point in calling Trump a fascist, even if true? Doesn’t that alienate his voters? Wouldn’t it be better just to describe his actions without labeling him controversially?

 

Until recently, I thought so. No longer. The resemblances are too many and too strong to deny. Americans who support liberal democracy need to recognize what we’re dealing with in order to cope with it, and to recognize something, one must name it. Trump has revealed himself, and we must name what we see.

CNN Politics - Trump claims secret ‘discombobulator’ weapon was used to help capture Maduro 

 

25 Jan 2026

 


President Donald Trump said the US used a weapon he referred to as a “discombobulator” to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro this month, but a senior US official said he’s likely conflating tools used by the US military.

 

The discombobulator, I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump told the New York Post in an interview that published Saturday but added that it “made [enemy] equipment not work” during the capture. ...

 

The president may be conflating several capabilities into a single weapon that doesn’t exist, a senior US official told CNN.

 

US forces did use cyber tools to disable early warning and other Venezuelan defense systems during the operation, it also utilized existing acoustic systems to disorient personnel on the ground. 

 

 

Discombobulated Donald has a limited grasp of technology.  🙄

Nevertheless, the spectators twice broke into applause after Mr. Carney called out Mr. Trump’s policies, particularly his desire to control Greenland. Then, at the end, they rose for a long standing ovation.

 

“I don’t think I’ve seen many standing ovations in Davos,” Gideon Rachman, a columnist for The Financial Times, said before beginning an onstage interview with Mr. Carney. “That was interesting.”

 

It's pleasing to see at least one world leader stand up to the orange buffoon - and then be in the headlines for it (as opposed to Trump himself).

ROFL... Saw this in an image: "I wonder if it bothers Trump that he's never won an election against a man."

Penguins come for Trump.

 

Its a dream of a brighter future.
Penguins lead Trump off into the frozen waste never to be seen again.
They know his madness so put up a random flag of a false promised land to spur him on.

 

As he trudges slowly into the emptiness. 

 

Trump has a secret wish to disappear and end it all?

Sideface:Trump claims secret ‘discombobulator’ weapon was used to help capture Maduro


Commanding Officer in mission planning brief:

“Gentlemen, here’s the word from Trump. We’re to discombobulate Maduro using facts, alternating with lectures on respecting women and minorities. He won’t know what hit him. Read this before dust off: How to Treat Women with Respect.”

Trump Proclaims ‘God Is Very Proud’ of His First Year Back in the White House: mediaite

The Good Lord is smiling down approvingly at President Donald Trump — according to the president.

Trump on Tuesday proclaimed “God is very proud” of him and the job he has done since returning to office during a sprawling 105-minute press briefing at the White House.

“Last year, you told me that you believed that the reason you won the election is because God put you in this place so that you could save the world,” a male reporter asked. “Looking back [after] one year, do you feel like god is proud of the effort that you’ve [given]?”

“I do, actually. I think God is very proud of the job I’ve done,” Trump said, while chuckling a bit.

He continued, “and that includes for religion. You know, we’re protecting a lot of people that are being killed. Christians, Jewish people and lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn’t be protected by another type of president.”
