Here's a new thread for US Politics - The End of Bureaucracy - seeing as the previous one - US Politics: Democracy Won - had reached the 10,000 post limit.

Be civil & respectful - keep it neat & tidy - and also try & keep the discussions on-topic as well - no derailing it with rambling off-topic posts... ;)

The Senate Finance Committee voted on Tuesday to forward the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the full Senate, setting up a vote on whether Mr. Kennedy, one of the nation’s most vociferous critics of vaccines, should become the nation’s next health secretary.

Senator Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican and a physician who has been on the fence about Mr. Kennedy, cast the deciding vote, after days of publicly agonizing over what to do. The final tally was split along party lines: 14 Republicans voted yes, and all 13 Democrats opposed him.
 
Doug Collins just confirmed.. Veterans affairs.
77 votes.
 
So - looks like South Africa got $30 MILLION for Transgender HIV research from USAID - apparently that's what the hullabaloo seems to be all about - I am sure that the Department of Health can simply tack that expense onto their NHI Bill - so that it's SA taxpayers funding it going forward - and NOT US taxpayers... ;)

I think that Bill Cassidy got a personal phone-call from the Oval Office that may have persuaded him to vote along party lines... ;)
 
If you've been procastinating applying for a US visa, now might be a good time to do it. the purge of government employees is also affecting the State Dept, so there will probably be lengthy backlogs for a little while
 
Looks like Herr Klaus & Billy Boy's tentacles go deep into USAID as well...

USAID didn’t just operate as a fraud and money laundering device for Democrats, it was also an arm of the anti-human eugenics movement.

Truly an evil group who mask the horrible things they’ve done with some good sounding charity that they then use as a shield from any criticism.

An ex-director of USAID's Office of Population (from 1965 to 1979), Reimert T. Ravenholt was a depopulation zealot who knew no shame.

Here's the USAID / State Department disbursement receipt for the $45 MILLION payment to 'Support Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) in Gaza....

The funniest part of that is the code at the top right - it says ASST_NON_SPRM - 'Assisting_Non_Sperm' - is that an acronym for 'condoms', perhaps?... ;)

During the Biden administration, this debate came to a head when John Ratcliffe and Chris Sims wrote an article for The Wall Street Journal entitled How Do Drag Shows Advance US National Security?. Among other targets, Ratcliffe and Sims took aim at the tactics used by the US embassy in Budapest, under then-ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, including a quiz that asked viewers whether a particular quotation came from Vladimir Putin or a leading Hungarian politician.

Ratcliffe and Sims called this type of “diplomacy” “grade-school antics, not the projection of American power”. Ratcliffe is now director of the CIA which should give readers some sense of how much the winds have changed in Washington, DC.
