The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

Re #3,803 - not surprising. After all, Trump replaced the existing board. And by closing for renovations they're not faced with artists refusing to perform as long as his name is on it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch

Kennedy Center ordered to pay over $250K US to jazz musician who cancelled over Trump rebrand​

Centre’s breach of contract suit against the musician was thrown out in June​


A Washington judge has ordered the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to pay jazz musician Chuck Redd more than $250,000 US in legal fees.

The ruling comes just months after that same judge, Tanya Jones Bosier of the District of Columbia Superior Court, tossed the centre’s lawsuit accusing Redd of breach of contract.

In 2025, Redd, an American drummer and vibraphonist whose legal name is Charles, backed out of his longtime role as host of the centre’s annual free Christmas Eve concert — in response to .....

For those who need a reminder on why this man is a liar:

Many vaccines ARE, in fact, tested in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. This includes the Salk polio vaccine, the HPV vaccine, the COVID vaccines, and the recent RSV vaccines he’s so bothered about.

The loophole RFK and other anti-vaxxers keep going on about is designed to smear vaccines. In their minds each updated version of an existing vaccine should be re-tested in such a trial as if none existed before. This is unethical for several reasons, two including:

1. This would take forever and in most instances would effectively take the vaccine out of circulation entirely. If we needed to placebo-test the flu shot by the time the test was over the flu itself would have mutated.

2. With effective vaccines, forcing them into limbo while we retest would require actively withholding vaccines from people, including children, and then counting how many got sick and died. This isn’t ethical, nor is it science. It’s monstrous. In these cases active comparator trials, testing the new vaccine against the old one, are just as effective and balance science with the urgent cause of keeping people alive.

RFK knows this but he doesn’t care. He’s not trying to keep people alive. He’s just keeping up appearances for his cult.

An attorney for Dr. Anthony Fauci said another appearance would serve no legislative purpose, while Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) vowed to pursue legal options.

Seems pleading the Fifth was the smart thing to do after all.

BREAKING: CNN's Pamela Brown Goes Aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and Tells the Truth Trump Doesn't Want You to Hear

Pamela Brown did what good journalists do. She showed up.

While Trump told reporters the deployment hasn't gone on "nearly long enough" and Pete Hegseth insisted that every critical story about the USS Abraham Lincoln was a lie, Brown secured rare access to the aircraft carrier and spent three days aboard it talking to sailors. Not Pentagon spokespeople. Not administration officials. Sailors.

What she found was more human and more damning than any single headline. Sailors dealing with black mold, food so bad that crew members were losing weight, and no idea when they were going home. The ship has been deployed for nearly nine months. Multiple sailors have attempted to jump overboard. And the number one issue crushing morale wasn't the mold or the food. It was the silence. No end date. No clarity. No honesty from the people who sent them there.

One sailor put it plainly in a message to Brown. What started as a two-week combat operation became seven months with a shifting justification every few weeks. First it was to help Iranian protesters. Then to denuclearize Iran. Then to support a blockade. Nobody could tell them why they were still there or when they were coming home, while their families had their lives on hold waiting for them.

Hegseth called coverage of the Lincoln "completely misrepresented." Brown wrote that sentiment "did not go over well" with the sailors she's been talking to. That is as politely as a journalist can call a defense secretary a liar.

Thank you, Pamela Brown, for getting on that ship and letting those sailors be heard.
