J.B. Pritzker wants to lead the Democratic Party into battle. It’s a compelling idea, isn’t it? A governor from Illinois, a billionaire, stepping up to potentially take the helm of the party. The immediate reaction seems to be a mixed bag, ranging from enthusiastic support to skeptical reservations, and everything in between.

The Democratic Party is being accused of feigning concern for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims now, despite their past associations with him and lack of action before his death. This sudden interest, according to the article, is a political tactic used to distract from the Republican Party’s success and the Democrats’ low poll numbers.

It’s almost predictable at this point. They’ll keep doing whatever “Dear Leader” tells them. It’s the age-old story of choosing a clown and expecting a circus. The idea of putting someone who has dedicated their life to undermining vaccines in charge of anything related to public health feels like a bad joke.
Now, the narrative is that GOP senators are signaling to Trump. But let’s be real, they voted overwhelmingly to confirm Kennedy in the first place.… Continue reading
