So, I have a new job. My retirement pays the bills, but I need fun money because motorcycles are expensive, and trips on motorcycles are even more expensive. Unfortunately, I got hired and they immediately needed me to work extra shifts to cover someone who was sick. What was supposed to be a part time job turned into full time at least temporarily. Add in my other obligations, and I’m back to being out of the house for 14 hours at a time. I didn’t even check my email this morning. I just got home and fired up my computer at 2150 hrs Pacific Time.

So my news consumption is rather down at the moment, but I did manage to catch this tidbit which makes me dance a jig.

The Trump-Vance transition team announced that Stanford Professor Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, author of “The Great Barrington Declaration,” is his pick to lead the National Institutes of Health. This is a terrific choice; Dr. Bhattacharya is highly respected and was right about the negative effects of lockdowns during the COVID pandemic when so many others were wrong. He didn’t back down despite numerous attempts to silence him. 

I don’t like all of Trump’s picks But he’s shown a pattern of finding people that the Deep State has attacked, and then nominating them to lead the very agencies that attacked them. That’s brilliant right there, and it gives me at least some hope for the future. Assuming that the GOP squishes don’t bend over and do the Democrat’s bidding again. A little prayer would be appropriate.
