Isaiah's latest THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Our Non-Working Attorney General Pam Bondi"
White House officials are reportedly telling Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to cool it on his vaccine diatribes because it’s denting President Donald Trump’s pride in his handling of the pandemic.
The health and human services secretary’s repeated criticism of COVID-19 vaccines has apparently prompted White House officials to message the long-standing anti-vaxxer and his team with demands to “tone down his rhetoric,” The New York Times reported, citing two sources with knowledge of the discussions.
Aides reportedly made the move amid concerns over Kennedy’s ongoing crusade against inoculations among Trump’s allies and even the president himself, given the stock Trump apparently places in the Operation Warp Speed initiative, which promoted the vaccines during his first stint in the White House.
He's causing trouble for America so why should Chump be exempted. Chump's the idiot that chose him, after all. Ewan Palmer (DAILY BEAST) points out:
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims that his crusade against vaccines is based on science are overwhelmingly rejected by the public, a damming survey has found. A Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,084 U.S. adults nationwide found that less than a quarter (24 percent) support the Trump administration’s sweeping targeting of vaccines recommendations because they believe they are backed by science and facts, with nearly half (48 percent) believing the policies are not science driven. Kennedy, a known vaccine skeptic for years, including pushing the long disputed claim they cause autism, has not been subtle in his overhauling of recommendations for immunizations, which is causing turmoil within the public health agencies he oversees, especially the CDC.
"The Snapshot" (THE COMMON ILLS):
Wednesday, September 10, 2025. Chump goes out to eat last night nd gets booed, he issues a denial insisting that the birthday greeting to Jeffrey Epstein is not his, turns out a deal was made with Ghislaine Maxwell before she spoke to Deputy AG Todd Blanche, the American people need to know what that deal was, Chump continues to slaughter the economy on all fronts -- employments, housing and inflation -- and much more.
On those tariffs in this already troubled economy, Rishabh Mishra (BENZINGA) notes:
Economist Justin Wolfers is sounding the alarm on the potential for stagflation, warning that proposed tariffs could inflict a painful combination of slowing growth and rising prices on the U.S. economy.
In a recent interview, the University of Michigan professor cautioned that Americans could soon get "‘two bad tastes at the same time'—rising unemployment and rising inflation."
Wolfers explained that the ingredients for this challenging scenario are already present. He broke down the dual nature of stagflation, describing it as a mix of economic stagnation and persistent inflation.
Also sounding the alarm is Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Hugh Son (CNBC) reports he sees trouble coming and quotes him stating, "I think the economy is weakening. Whether it's on the way to recession or just weakening, I don't know."
Stephanie Ruhle has noted repeatedly on her MSNBC program THE 11TH HOUR how various business leaders who would normally be weighing in and expressing concern over the economy have been silent for months now. Apparently, silence is no longer an option. CBS NEWS' conversation with former CBO director Douglas Holtz-Eakin makes that clear.
"Dead in the water." The economy -- the bad economy -- is producing anxiety in the housing market but it's not producing jobs. That includes for Chump's tiny dicked base of boys who wish they were men. Courtney Brown (AXIOS) reports:
Younger adults are facing the worst labor market shock in years, one far more acute than the rest of the population.
Why it matters: There's no denying the misery for young people who can't find work. It might stunt their career growth for decades to come.
Threat level: What's holding back hiring is a mix of fleeting, cyclical factors — economic uncertainty as a result of Trump's trade policies, for instance, or high interest rates.
- Other factors, like the uptake of AI eliminating entry-level positions, are likely structural. The result might be a difficult hiring environment for younger people for the foreseeable future.
- Young but less-educated Americans also feel the pinch. The sluggish pace of job gains is widespread across the economy, including in industries that, in normal times, would be the most likely to hire them.
What they're saying: "There is a pile-up of young people that are looking for work," says Guy Berger, the director of economic research at the Burning Glass Institute.
18 to 29 year old White males -- don't call them men -- voted 63% for Chump. You got what you wanted boys. No jobs.
They're so worried about their manhood that they can't see straight. They give themselves names like "Big Balls" but they're not men, they're cowardly little boys as we all saw when "Big Balls" got jumped in DC by children. By children. Big Balls? Try no balls.
Paul Krugman observed yesterday:
The Trump administration is obviously attempting to follow the familiar playbook by which autocracies consolidate their power, effectively turning America into a one-party state where almost everyone accepts that resistance to the regime is futile and is afraid to show any signs of opposition.
And by and large America’s elites have offered no more resistance to authoritarian consolidation than a wet Kleenex. But historically, anti-democratic parties that establish lasting autocracies have done so with considerable initial support from the broader public. At least at first, they’re actually popular, especially because they deliver, or seem to deliver, major economic gains.
That’s not happening for Trump, at all. And the big question — to which I don’t know the answer — is whether a regime that inherited a good economy but ruined it and whose non-economic policies are deeply unpopular can still consolidate autocratic rule.
Epstein and Maxwell, the economy, his attacks on immigrnts, attacking US cities as though they're foreign countries? It's all piling up on Chump. Sara Dorn (FORBES) explains:
Big Number
43%. That’s Trump’s average approval rating so far during his second term, slightly higher than his 41% average approval rating throughout the duration of his first term, according to Gallup.
What Was Biden’s Approval Rating At This Point In His Term?
49%, according to Gallup’s Aug. 2-17, 2021 average.
As Ben notes this morning on MEIDASTOUCH NEWS, Chump went out last night and was greeted with boos.
Let's turn to Chump and his longterm relationships with convicted sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out last night that it took Chump over 24 hours but last night Chump himself finally responded to Congress releasing the birthday card he made for Jeffrey Epstein.
What a little bitch. We all know it's his signature. It's in Epstein's book. Chump says he doesn't use those words when, in fact, he does. It's his signature and his style of drawing. At another time, we might all be made to put our heads on our desks to see if Chump, the lying student in the classroom, could return what he's stolen if we all weren't looking.
He's pathetic.
MSNBC has compiled some of their coverage from yesterday on Chump's ongoing lies and his ongoing scandal.
And then Propaganda Pig Karoline Leavitt trotted back off to her pigsty.
In the meantime, everyone continues attempting to figure out Speaker of the Closet Mike Johnon's recent remarks that Chump was a snitch to the FBI on Epstein. Chris Stirewalt (THE HILL) offers:
And on THE DAILY BEAST podcast, Michael Wolfe offered his take and how it might have something to do with money laundering that Chump did for Russia.
Let's note this press release from Senator Elizabeth Warren's office:
Donald Korb spent his career transitioning between the IRS and law firms, where he defended some of the biggest corporations being investigated by the IRS
Warren on proposed ethics commitments for Korb: “By making these commitments, you would increase Americans’ trust in your ability to serve the public interest—rather than the special interests of mega-corporations seeking tax breaks.”
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, wrote to Donald Korb, nominee for Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), ahead of Korb’s confirmation hearing, pressing him on his stark conflicts of interest and urging him to make ethics commitments to mitigate these conflicts.
“I have been raising the alarm for years about this insidious revolving door at the Department of the Treasury and the IRS, which threatens the important work of the agencies,” wrote Senator Warren. “I am concerned that, if confirmed, you would enter this role with significant conflicts of interest that could cloud your judgment or raise questions about the integrity of IRS decisions in which you are involved.”
Throughout Mr. Korb’s career, he has transitioned between roles at the IRS—including serving as Chief Counsel under President George W. Bush—and positions as a lawyer and lobbyist for large, tax-dodging corporations. Mr. Korb began his career at the IRS, where he worked from 1973 to 1986. Mr. Korb later became a lobbyist, until he was nominated to be IRS Chief Counsel in 2003 by President Bush. After leaving office, he joined the firm Sullivan & Cromwell, where he headed the tax controversy department, defending some of the country’s wealthiest corporations being investigated by the IRS, as well as continuing to lobby for wealthy firms.
“As IRS Chief Counsel under President Trump, you would be responsible for advising the IRS on disputes with these former clients and would advise the IRS and Treasury on tax regulations that will affect your former clients, absent appropriate recusal measures,” wrote Senator Warren.
Senator Warren is requesting that Mr. Korb, should he be confirmed:
-
Recuse himself for four years from all specific-party matters involving his former clients and employers and all particular matters that are likely to directly and predictably affect their financial interests;
-
Refrain from seeking employment or board membership with, or another form of compensation from, a company that has been engaged in a dispute or other interaction with the IRS regarding which he provided legal advice for at least four years after leaving office; and
-
Agree not to serve as a lobbyist or informal “shadow lobbyist” for at least four years after leaving office.
Senator Warren noted that the prior IRS Chief Counsel Marjorie Rollinson made these commitments as part of her confirmation process, alongside other Biden Administration nominees.
“By making these commitments, you would increase Americans’ trust in your ability to serve the public interest—rather than the special interests of mega-corporations seeking tax breaks—during your time at the IRS,” concluded the senator.
