"[RFK Jr.] was going to look into all of the vaccines and the food. He didn't do any of that. It's fake."

"So he's on some summer vacation with Cheryl and some yak.... On his Instagram... he's like, We did a 10 mile hike up the mountain and I saw a yak... The Secretary of Health and Human Services now doing content on social media with wild animals...."

Keep up the pressure.
Only democrats can save us.
With lies, illegals, and vote cheating.

Ending the war in Iran and by proxies prosecuted across the region and globally.

The issue is not vaccines in general, but vaxxxines, specifically, and risk management with informed consent always.

gilbar said...

remember the old Sec of Trans?
that as soon as "he" started took 7 months off for "maternity leave"
and filmed videos of "him" "breastfeeding"?

but YEAH! the new Sec of Human Services going on a vacation during his 1st year.. THAT is an OUTRAGE!
of course, Technically, this is his 2nd year.. but STILL!

Althouse for premium bear content. RFK for premium yak content.

Josephbleau said...

A 10 mile mountain hike is a healthy experience and should be promoted, even with a snotty teenage reporter accusing him of consorting with yaks.

D.D. Driver said...

Tim Dillon is a national treasure.

Also: shout out to Peachy ranting about "democrats" and forgetting that RFK Jr ran to be the Democrat candidate just two years ago. Now, he is a MAGA hero. Way to prove a point.

What Tim Dillon is saying (and I agree) is that everything is fake and that you are a retard.

Peachy+2 said...

Poor troll DD (D). Sad fuck.

Gusty Winds said...

RFK, or at least the MAHA movement must be having some effect. Processed food companies' stock prices are down. General Mills $49 to $37 YTD. Kraft $38 to $25 in the last four years. Conagra $20 to $15 YTD. McDonald's down from $341 to $264 YTD.

Aggie said...

'He didn't do any of that' sounds like a fake and erroneous claim, based on what I've read and Junior's activities. But I see some interpreting a rant comedian's schtick as reliable news, so there's that.

Kai Akker said...

A minute or so in, I would say this guy is as fake as it's ever been. "The food's worse than it's ever been." C'mon. This tripe -- well, calling it tripe is a compliment!! This junk is the usual GIGO as far as I can tell, going as far as a normal person could stand to go. I'll find out who it is later.

Gusty Winds said...

Dillon talks about the food contamination stories from this summer. Did anyone read about the mid july Taco Bell contaminated lettuce causing cyclosporiasis (a parasitic intestinal illness)? I saw some smart ass on X posted "How do I know if I have regular Taco Bell diarrhea or parasite Taco Bell diarrhea?"

Charlie Currie said...

Tim Dillion plays to an audience that really doesn’t like hearing the truth. They prefer half truths, bullshit, lies, rumors, conspiracies, innuendos and the such. Feeds their rage and fantasies. But, he speaks with conviction.

RFK Jr. and his wife are not allowed to take a vacation.

TIL from this podcaster that China is now the leader of the world. Except for when their terrorist-promoting proxies like Iran get the crap bombed out of them, by those obsolete carriers and jets, which are so much less effective than worldwide mandatory social scoring for everyone, which is China's contribution to world leadership, and that he apparently likes. This guy is so amusing it hurts to watch, like the drunk uncle at Thanksgiving dinner talking about old family fights just to get everyone angry at each other. Making up things that Vance says in future after a hypothetical nuclear attack on Iran is the best, bacause it is followed without a break or a breath by him doing a hair regrowth product commercial, at the same emphasis level. No wonder this guy is successful, he can spew nonsense without stopping or changing his tone of voice.

Guessing he gets his news from the NYT and the Guardian.

Tim Dillon could lose some excess fat--starting with his head.
But opinions are like noses and every fathead has one.

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

As always, vote for the far right, end up eating sh*t. Amazing that they've brought the cycle down to 18 months though.

First, measles outbreaks…Now… food poisoning.

The CDC cyclosporiasis lab has been substantially downsized in 2025. However, the “Food and Drug Administration walked back test results identifying the cyclospora parasite on lettuce from Taylor Farms, saying the result was a “false positive”.

Nothing about the $1M that Taylor Farms gave the Trump administration right before the FDA made this announcement?

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

I am skeptical that Trump’s Truth Social threats against Iran are going to work the 1,000th time. If Trump wants out of the box he has put himself in, his time would be better spent building a time machine and going back to February 2026.

Barring that, he should fire the people who argued that this war was a great idea, and start listening to the people whose analysis has been proven correct by events.

If Trump would’ve tried parenting his kids, he might’ve picked up on the diminishing returns of gigantic threats followed by wishy-washy punishment. Hard to get that respect back after realizing you’re lazy and weak.

bagoh20 said...

Peak podcaster bullshit, something that peaked early and is till peaking. I hope we are reaching the top of the ski lift with this crap. Dillon is just high like most of his audience. They will now proceed to fire up the microwave with crap and eat until they pass out.

I have read a few articles recently blaming the stock price decrease AND the decline in dining out to Ozempic and similar drugs. 1 in 8 Americans admit to taking them, and the number is likely higher.

I'm not among them. I am taking metformin, for over 10 years now, which some people confuse with weight loss drugs. It isn't. Has helped me keep my A1C from climbing into the diabetic range.

Howard said...

Tim Dillon is a comedian you people take seriously. That makes him a supercilious ninny detectorist.

Achilles said...

I am underwhelmed by RFK's MAHA efforts.

Everyone in the FDA should be in jail by now. We still have the food pyramid.

Doctors are still getting kick backs for proscribing statins.

You know they have a new pneumonia vaccine because every doctor in the country is trying to get you to take it and get that sweet drug company money.

Our health care system is a corrupt evil farce and RFK is sitting on his thumbs doing nothing.

Achilles said...

If RFK was serious he would unban wegovy and ozempic and let labs produce it at 10% of the cost the drug companies are charging.

GLP1s have been around for decades. There is no good reason to allow the drug companies to have a monopoly on something that has been made in labs for decades.

D.D. Driver said...

It's all fake, losers.

**Trump frequently highlighted his record of "no new wars" (or similar phrasing like "no wars," "no more wars," or not starting new conflicts) during his first term and throughout the 2024 campaign period.**

Key examples include:

- **Pre-2024 (e.g., March 2023 CPAC)**: Trump stated, "I was the only president in modern history who did not have any new wars." He often contrasted this with predecessors, emphasizing he finished ISIS but started no new wars.
- **2024 campaign rallies and events**: He repeatedly said variations like "Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace" (e.g., August 2024 rallies in Pennsylvania). He touted "peace through strength" and claimed adversaries respected him enough to avoid conflict.
- **RNC nomination acceptance (July 2024)**: "With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don't have wars. I had no wars."
- **Victory speech (November 2024)**: "We had no wars – four years – we had no wars. Except we defeated ISIS... They said, 'He will start a war.' I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars."

He often framed this as a choice between "war and no war" and criticized "endless wars" under prior administrations.

**On Obama or Biden "starting" or risking war with Iran, Trump made repeated claims, mostly predating 2024 for Obama and during the 2023–2024 cycle for Biden (often tying it to weakness, the nuclear deal, or funding proxies).**

### On Obama (primarily 2011–2013):
Trump repeatedly predicted or accused Obama of planning to start a war with Iran for political reasons (e.g., re-election or to appear tough). Examples:

- **November 2011**: In a video, Trump said, "Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected... is to start a war with Iran." He also tweeted similar warnings.
- **2012 (multiple occasions)**: On Sean Hannity's radio show (January), he predicted Obama would start a war in Iran before the election. Tweets included warnings about Obama launching strikes in Libya or Iran due to poll numbers, or "playing the Iran card" to get re-elected.
- **2013**: Tweets like "Obama will attack Iran in order to save face" or "because of his inability to negotiate properly."

These were made while Trump was a private citizen/public figure criticizing Obama.

### On Biden (2023–2024 campaign):
Trump blamed Biden's "weakness," sanctions relief, and the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) for emboldening Iran, leading to attacks, proxy conflicts, and the "brink of World War III." He did not always say Biden would literally "start" a direct U.S.-Iran war but accused the administration of risking or causing escalation.

- **January 2024 (after Jordan drone attack killing U.S. troops)**: Trump said Biden’s policies left the U.S. "on the brink of World War 3," claiming Iran was "weak and broke" under him but empowered under Biden.
- **October 2024 (after Iran missile attack on Israel)**: Trump blasted Biden/Harris as "grossly incompetent" and "leading us to the brink of World War III."
- **Broader 2024 rhetoric**: He tied Biden's approach (e.g., the nuclear deal) to Iran gaining strength and funding terror, contrasting it with his own "maximum pressure" policy. He also advised Israel on striking Iranian nuclear sites and criticized Biden's restraint.

These statements were common in rallies, Truth Social posts, and interviews during the campaign. Note that Trump himself later (in 2026) downplayed or denied absolute "no new wars" guarantees amid subsequent events, but the 2023–2024 campaign record shows consistent emphasis on the theme.

Sources include contemporaneous reports, transcripts, and fact-checks from outlets like Snopes, Politico, WaPo, and others.

DDD on a copy and paste jag today

I posted the following on my FB Timeline today. I'll let you know if any Dems in my "Friends" List responds.
Here------>
My Democrat friends: Even if you cannot stand President Trump, even if you disagree with the platforms and actions of the Republican party , isn’t about time you took a close look at the current state of the Democrat Party? Its ownership of the lower side of the 80/20 positions in this country: men in women’s sports and locker rooms, the refusal to define what a woman is, the resistance to even investigating fraud and indirect government spending (e.g., NGOs, USAID), the endorsement of political violence (by refusal to condemn), the insertion of obscene and without a doubt age inappropriate materials in public schools, the opposition to requiring ID to vote, the approval of judges and prosecutors who let criminals back onto the streets time and time again, defending illegal
Immigration and violently opposing law enforcement dealing with it, and -and this is a short list- letting our inner cities degrade even further by embracing (there is no other way to describe it) homelessness, open-air drug dealing and use, and mass shoplifting to the extent that stores lock up everyday items not to mention closing up shop and moving out.
And I am not even bringing up DSA and the encroaching socialism and communism inroads into elected office.
So? Are you a Democrat of the party of JFK and RFK and willing to abandon those officeholders and candidates associated with the 20 percent? To speak out on something that you do not approve of your party doing and not just Whataboutism or Orange man Bad.
Because we are all going to suffer if you don’t have courage to do so
Wishing you peace and blessings
(That's MY copy and paste, DDD)

Trump's "no new wars" promise was like that often made one "till death do us part" You mean it at time, and do really want to keep it, but sometimes you learn new things about people after the fact and that promise becomes a suicide pact. Only an idiot would stick to it at that point.

That list IS the entire democratic party platform.
Add: "defund and dismantle ICE."
(Biden's illegals are needed on team D. )

Especially sex books on the shelves of the public schools.
They lie about that one and say R's are banning books. Right up there with the big lie that US soldiers killed little girls in Iran.

Howard said...

Trump admits JD Vance was against the Iran war. The argument against the war is basically boils down to geography:

**Iran’s leverage and command capabilities stem from several geographical and military factors:Geographical Dominance: The northern coastline of the strait is highly mountainous and features several strategically placed Iranian-garrisoned islands, including Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb.Asymmetric Capabilities: Iran utilizes an "Anti-Access/Area Denial" (A2/AD) strategy. Instead of relying on a massive traditional navy, it deploys a vast array of fast-attack craft, anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, drones, and naval mines hidden across its rugged coastline and islands.Contested Control: The U.S. and Iran are currently locked in a tit-for-tat military conflict. Iranian forces continue to fire on or intercept vessels to enforce their own designated shipping corridors, while U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) strikes Iranian military infrastructure to ensure the waterway stays open to international traffic.**

bagoh20 said...

I like the results of the war. Why would I bitch about ending the CCP getting cheap oil from our enemies in exchange for weapons systems to use against us and our allies while simultaneously bringing together the nations of the Middle East as allies with Israel for the first time in history? What kind of retard would be against that, especially when the cost in American lives has been just a fraction of what most Blue cities kill in the same period for no good reason? Even during this war, a young black man is safer in the U.S. military than in Chicago. That's all completely on top of accomplishing the main reason for the mission: ending Iranian nuclear weapons capability, which by itself is worth it.

bagoh20 said...

Maybe Trump should start wars just to get young black men into the military to save their lives from Democrat run cities.

Mason G said...

"What kind of retard would be against that"

Democrats. Republican jew haters, too.

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

Trump’s foreign policy legacy is likely to be defined by Iran. And furthermore, in good classic US quagmire fashion, no one can even say what "victory" means at this point. The original goal of the war was regime change, which was ridiculously impossible, as the past 145 days of Netanyahu's and Trump's Iran fiasco has made abundantly clear. So the current plan, post MOU, seems to be escalate aimlessly in hopes of finding some new objective that can be called victory. Or maybe just drop more bombs and hope good things happen.

Key Trump administration figures who expressed opposition, skepticism, or significant warnings about escalating to war/strikes against Iran include VP JD Vance and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio....

Their concerns centered on risks of escalation into a prolonged quagmire, high costs (financial, military resources, and human), unintended regional chaos (e.g., Strait of Hormuz closure disrupting global energy), munitions depletion, and deviation from Trump's "no new wars" stance.

• JD Vance warned that conflict "might get us into a situation that... has spiraled out of our control. That we can decide how wars start, but we don't know how they're going to end."

Argued it could cause "regional chaos" and "untold numbers of casualties," deplete munitions, alienate MAGA supporters expecting no new wars, and risk a "disaster." He pushed for limited action if any, or diplomacy.

• Gen. Dan Caine: Laid out "all of the risks" including precarious outcomes, munitions depletion (impacting readiness for other threats like China), lack of allied basing/support, and potential for prolonged entanglement.

Warned that Israeli plans were often "oversold" and "not always well-developed"; a major campaign risked U.S. casualties, air defense strain, and Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz (leading to economic crisis). Trump publicly downplayed these as Caine believing it would be "easily won" if ordered, but reporting indicates Caine's private cautions focused on realism over enthusiasm. Many of his flagged risks (Hormuz issues, resource strain, retaliation) materialized to varying degrees.

• Tulsi Gabbard: Had a history of strong opposition to Iran strikes/war (e.g., calling prior actions "illegal" in 2020) and was reportedly sidelined or clashed with hawks. Intelligence assessments under her emphasized no imminent nuclear weapon buildup or direct threat, contrasting with justifications for action; a deputy (Joe Kent) resigned protesting "no imminent threat."

• Marco Rubio and others (e.g., CIA's John Ratcliffe on some regime-change scenarios): Expressed skepticism on over-optimistic goals like easy regime change ("bullshit"/"farcical"), favoring more limited objectives.

Trump administration (and prior U.S. administrations) had access to extensive military war-gaming scenarios, simulations, and studies on potential conflict with Iran. These were conducted by the Pentagon, Joint Forces Command, think tanks (e.g., CSIS, RAND, Brookings, Atlantic Council), and interagency exercises over decades.

Many focused on Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, asymmetric tactics (mines, swarming boats, missiles, drones), escalation ladders, nuclear sites strikes, and broader regional war outcomes. These were well-known in national security circles and could (and in some cases did) inform planning.

"Or maybe just drop more bombs and hope good things happen."

Absent the Iran war and Trump’s tariffs, the U.S. economy would be performing noticeably better. The conflict drove oil prices sharply higher, spiked inflation (peaking near 4.2%), and added tens of billions in direct costs while disrupting global shipping.

Tariffs functioned like a consumption tax, raising prices for American consumers and businesses on imported goods rather than delivering broad gains. Without these self-inflicted drags, we’d likely see lower energy costs, cooler inflation, stronger real wages, and healthier GDP growth. The economy has shown resilience, but avoiding these shocks would have delivered a clearer tailwind.

But hey -- MAGA gotta MAGA...

Howard said...

**Yes, data and economic analyses indicate that Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs have hurt U.S. manufacturing by driving up production costs and reducing employment.**
