From an RFK Jr. post on X, taking on excessive defense spending: “One thing leaps out at me: ‘Defense funding is set at $886 billion for the current fiscal year… the accord pegs non-defense funding at nearly $773 billion.’ Defense spending exceeds all other discretionary spending combined. What does that say about our nation’s priorities? When I’m President I WILL cut the deficit. And there is no way to do that without cutting defense spending.”
Kyle Kemper speaks out on behalf of RFK Jr. on American Sunrise:

Dr. Anthony Fauci testified for two days, behind closed doors, before a congressional committee. The Hill covered it – Fauci wraps up 2-day testimony on Capitol Hill | The Hill. So did The Hill’s Rising – Fauci MET With Wuhan GAIN-OF-FUNCTION SCIENTIST In '17, Admits Lab Leak NOT A Conspiracy: Emily Kopp | Rising. However, when I searched the rest of the internet, I only heard this – Black Screen 10 Hours - Crickets and Frogs - Summer Night Sounds - V4. Fortunately, Matt Taibbi over at Racket News weighed in with why it is important to NOT let the pandemic catastrophe disappear from America’s memory – Orf vs. the Memory Hole: Anthony Fauci’s Pandemic Follies | Racket News. Taibbi’s writing paired with Matt Orfalea’s video makes this a must watch.

Another heaping pile of bad news for Biden:
Biden sent Congress “incomplete” censorship records – “This is not a partisan issue,” Matthew Peterson, Blaze Media’s editor in chief, told the Washington Examiner. “The freedom of speech and a free press is necessary for our very form of government to function. If those who represent the American people in Congress do not use every avenue available to them to protect Blaze Media and others from our government’s unconstitutional attempt to shut them down, we will lose our republican form of government.” – Biden administration in hot seat for sending Congress ‘incomplete’ records for censorship investigation | Washington Examiner

We should All be concerned in saving America! It’s sad what is happening in Gaza. But we have to think about the disaster HERE in the U.S. and Bobby is the only one talking about the middle class! I guess people will vote for the one they want!
“Kennedy on Armenian sovereignty: “One of the things that I won’t forget as President of the United States is the struggle of Armenians for sovereignty, for dignity, for their right to reunify their country, including Artsakh, which has been since 200 BC, has been the birthplace of the Armenian people” – RFK, Jr.: “I will do everything in my power to peacefully restore Armenian sovereignty of Artsakh” -- Armenian Weekly.

Last month, “The Onion” posted a parody piece entitled, “Israel Assures It Doing Everything Possible To Minimize Civilians" https://www.theonion.com/israel-assures-it-doing-everything-possible-to-minimize-1851085308 They left out a key word after "Civilians."
In that spirit, I offer the following quotes from the "Armenian Weekly" article referenced above https://armenianweekly.com/2024/01/10/rfk-jr-i-will-do-everything-in-my-power-to-peacefully-restore-armenian-sovereignty-of-artsakh/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I just changed the pronouns
“One of the things that I won’t forget as President of the United States is the struggle of Palestinians for sovereignty, for dignity, for their right to reunify their country, including Gaza, which has been since 200 BC, has been the birthplace of the Palestinian people,” stated RFK, Jr. “And the fact that the world didn’t notice this rich ethnic cleansing – this genocide – is really striking to me. But it’s something that I intend to talk about and to continue talking about and use my power as President of the United States to leverage the cooperation of nations within that region, to do everything I can to peacefully reunite Palestine.”
“This was not RFK, Jr.’s first reference to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the importance of sanctions to hold Israel accountable for their crimes. Last week, Kennedy issued a 2.5-minute video statement titled “RFK Jr. on How to Avert War in Palestine,” where the presidential candidate stressed, “The U.S. government needs to organize and mobilize the global community to take action to ensure the safe return of Palestinians to Gaza and to defend their right to self-determination. This is a situation where peaceful sanctions could actually work. The U.S. still has leverage in that region, and it can use that power to mobilize all of the nations in that region to reverse this humanitarian tragedy. We should also seek the removal of the blockades in Gaza by Israel and Egypt. Gaza is a landlocked nation, and it needs access to ports and to the surrounding countries.”
. . .
For my version, I just replaced “Armenian” with “Palestinian”, etc. Notable, since today the ICJ is hearing Israel's defence against charges of Gaza genocide. Why the “double standard” of RFK opposing the genocide of Armenia and not the on-going genocide in Gaza supported by our country's money and bombs?
