The US exceptionalism can only work as long as its populace can be tolerant/acceptive of each others’ differences. Lamentably, for several decades there has been an increasing political exploitation of differences as a way to win populist elections. As this divide widens, we find on one side, those who value truth through educational attainment using math/science/logic as tools … and on the other side, are those who reject educational attainment and prefer conspiracy theories, innuendo, even lies that portray their belief system as superior — in spite of well-documented self-harm. A divided nation is weak and vulnerable.
Those who fear and suppress AI, for example, should realistically be more afraid that our enemies will advance it, unimpeded, and use it against us. At a time when we should be electing our most competent, collaborative, team players to serve and make us more resilient, … we are instead choosing those who are most incompetent and obstructive further weakening our already divided nation.
Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out at CDC director: ‘I don’t want my staff educated’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) battled CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Tuesday about the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Greene asked the CDC director about the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
Republican liars make a deliberate effort to distort reality.
If this is about the billions of federal funds lost to fraud and graft during the pandemic, most of which occurred under the Trump administration (but was continued under Biden), then this cartoon is appropriate, even for Mr. Gorrell.
Wow, more denial, even though people are still dying everyday from it. Some of them long painful deaths, stretching months to years before dying from Covid. All, because some fools believed what MAGAt’s and Q told them. Oh, well. Keep up the good work of making the USA bluer with almost every Covid death.

Couldn’t even keep a fraud from being President… how can anyone expect to keep fraud out of such a huge, and necessary, government outlay?

What fraud? The only fraud I know was perpetrated by Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers.
