I believe that most Americans (even now) are not evil; but I believe most of them are weak, in the sense of this quote. The reasonable people in the middle just hope it can’t be as bad as it seems. America has never endured the catastrophes of other countries (though its first Civil War came close); no, they think, it won’t happen here.
The bad guys won’t be THAT bad. Right?

“Iran threatened Tuesday to attack U.S. interests, its allies, and countries backing Washington if the United States strikes Iran’s nuclear or other sensitive facilities.”
Are we to infer from this that Iran has NOT already been striking the U.S. and its interests for 47 years, via being the chief sponsor of terrorism?
Are we to infer that Iran has been peaceful up to now, and now it’s “no more Mr. Nice Guy”? Seriously?!

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that the Trump administration is deferring more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to Democrat-led California and Minnesota over high-risk claims flagged in a crackdown on fraud.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is holding back roughly $867.5 million from California and $199 million from Minnesota, HHS said in a news release. The department stressed the money is being deferred, not cut, and that both states can recover it by documenting that the claims meet federal Medicaid requirements.
“States that receive federal Medicaid funding must demonstrate that every dollar meets federal requirements,” Kennedy said. “When they cannot, we will not release federal funds until they do.”
Kind of like turning on the lights in a cockroach-infested kitchen. No offense to cockroaches. These super elite grifters will never concede a thing, and they’ll scream bloody murder that Trump is denying health care to the poor (most of them not even U.S. citizens), while in fact he’s holding the largest organized crime ring in human history accountable–if only for a moment or two.
