The only result I found was a Biden State Dept. initiative, touted as the "first of its kind", that funded drag queens shows for children in Ecuador, with US tax dollars.

It's interesting to go back to the interviews of soft-spoken Democrat Trump in the Eighties. Then you can catch some through the Nineties and beyond and see him adapt to and perfect this Master of Apprentices character.
Look around you. It's not 2016 any more.
Back then they merely cooked numbers, quick-fried them to a crackly crunch. Things change. Now they're just plain making shit up.
So?
You put more faith in that shit than you did when you were saying "Fuck you Frank" in '08?
Remember what they said in '16?
I wasn't talking about you.
FFS I don't "hate" you.
It's called a disagreement...in America that's still allowed.
I just don't think that plan would work.
Maybe I'm wrong. YMMV
And Carter still managed to pull off some bad stunts, like not backing out of the Panama Canal treaty which has now, 50 years later, allowed the Chinese to buy up critical infrastructure in the canal zone.

The Classical station I mentioned earlier had a four hour Saturday night classic jazz program that was outstanding, I have failed to find any of it online.
But WGBH's Jazz Decades was almost as good.
A beautiful story to accompany a beautiful piece. The proper work at the proper time can pierce the soul and, to quote F. Murray Abraham: "these were compositions from a trained monkey. This was God, speaking directly to me, through those measured half notes."
Do you know the story being told in this opera?
People are starting to get off their asses, and the clown show is the reason why. Reinstalling Trump is more likely to cause them to sit their lazy asses down again.
That's why Trump is being set up to pull down an honest, undeniable landslide, so we will sit down and do nothing while they build FEMA camps.
If not, I do think that the swamp will drain him. Regardless of whether he goes in intending to drain it, he will have to. Deciding not to could be the last thing he ever does.
I do not expect to get better results or different results than 2016-2020.
Right now I'll settle for no wars, some regulation relief, and transqueeers not running around naked on the White House lawn, and just another day to try and get my fellows citizens off their collective asses and do something.
At this rate, if nothing changes, we'll all be silenced or in prison in another four years.
That's what I have been saying all along is the fallacy of MAGA. Politicians did not make America great in the first place, and as it has cycled up and down, they were never the ones who made it great again.
You think Trump sucks at picking only the best people. I think he picked the team that would do what he wanted to do. Either way, it doesn't matter much. Government needs purged. Trump is not the hand grenade so many people thought he was in 2016. He didn't even rise to the level of a monkey wrench in the Deep State works.
Reinstalling him and expecting a different result looks to me like collectively living the definition of insanity.
Will RFKJr. do better? That's something we don't already know. But we do know that he, very much unlike Trump, Must Not Be Named. And I came away from 2008 and 2016 considering that a very good sign.
Another pair of signs I see also gives me food for thought. Trump has not only demonstrated a willingness (maybe even a desire) to resort to draconian measures, but his base loves him for it. They accept the necessity of draconian actions when he does them without question and treat anyone who does ask questions the way liberals treat dissenters.
In 2012 there were 1.14 people killed per 100 million VMT.
The estimated fatality rate for 2023 is 1.26.
1.14 is more than 1.26.
Yes, it has fallen from 2022 rate, and I already noted that.
Come back and call me an asshole in five years, if those trends continue.
There's no disputing that Kennedy is correct here.
Trump did all those things and more, furthermore, for supposedly being this ace business man who knows how to build winning teams and appoint quality subordinates, he is one of the worst I have ever seen.
That said, even though he may be attacking "from the right", Kennedy is no conservative, populist, or an "American Firster".
I do not need a "leader", what I need is a representative, a mouthpiece.
I know what needs to be done in my life and the life of my country.
That is where your error is.
Just because there are more people, does not mean there are more drivers.
In fact, licensed drivers have decreased at times, even as the population grows.
There were a total of 228,195,802 licensed drivers in the US in 2020, a decrease of 0.21% or 483,917 licensed drivers from 2019.
By 2023 estimated growth grew again, but only by 2 percent.
Using per capita is an inaccurate way of measuring fatalities or accidents.
We have more people in the country, but more and more do not drive, especially young people.
You measure them the same way you measure air traffic or rail fatalities, by miles traveled.
But my source, wiki collecting NTSB data, directly contradicts yours.

I used to listen to NPR everyday for years because it was connected to my favorite Jazz station. I contributed to the station and was a regular follower.
I don't listen to jazz on the radio anymore because I can't stand NPR I hope they go under.
CaptUSA has been there, done that, and it went in one of your ears and whooshed right back out the other at the speed sound travels in air. You don't even seem to have noticed.
You repeat yourself like a spammer. I don't.

People should not be afraid of their governments -
governments should be afraid of their people.
In times of change, the Patriot is a scarce man; brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot.
