Project 2025 — the controversial blueprint for a newly reimagined federal government that Trump tried to distance himself from during the campaign despite numerous ties to its authors — called for NOAA to be "broken up and downsized" and said the agency was part of the "climate change alarm industry."Lutnick, scientist du jour, will decree that global warming is a hoax and NOAA will never again use the term. I'll bet anything.
"But this is what Americans can expect from Donald Trump, who as President abandoned the NSC's pandemic unit, suggested nuking hurricanes, lied about storms paths, said injecting Americans with bleach would kill sickness, and denied basic climate science," Singer added. "It's no surprise his allies' Project 2025 agenda builds on that extreme legacy."Already the private sector, in the form of home insurance companies, is well on its way to clear out Florida. May be Gov. DeMented will end up in some storm shelter with a mass of Mexican illegals. Such a pretty sight.

Donald Trump is planting the seeds of his own political demise. The corrupt, incompetent and extremist men and women he's appointing to many of the most critical posts in his cabinet are direct threats to the well-being of the country, but they're also political threats to Trump and to his populist allies.French's latest attempt to be the Compassionate Conservative. Baloney. As detailed in previous episodes, The Utterly Unhinged© is singing
Where never is heard a discouraging word, and the sky is not clouded all dayThere will be no government data which exposes the MAGA Kleptocracy. (Much, if not most, Federal data collection is done by Census, irregardless of the department publishing.) Shut down data collection at Census and the Fed. IOW, there's a small nexus, more or less, to strangle. Shutdown news media which tell the truth. You think I'm kidding?
If he can't govern well, his populist partisan realignment will come apart before it can truly begin.Which is Pollyanna on crack. As Bannon and the Project 2025 crew avow, the point is to not govern. The point is to create anarchy. And, as history and logic tell us, anarchy favors the rich. Which is the point of The Utterly Unhinged© and The Musk Ox.
Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas defended the Gaetz pick, saying, "Trump was elected to turn this place upside down." That's what Trump thinks. That's what MAGA thinks. But MAGA should beware. If Trump's cabinet picks help him usher in the chaos that is the water in which he swims, then the question won't be whether voters rebuke MAGA again, but rather how much damage it does before it fails once more.The MAGAnauts, as The Utterly Unhinged© promised:
Former President Donald Trump called on Christians to flood the polls in November, promising that if they vote him into office, they "won't have to vote again" in four years.Of course he was serious, although clearly not Christian himself, and of course his zealots believed him. And, of course, these idiots still believe that their lives will be so much better with The Utterly Unhinged© laying waste to governance. And his cabinet has stated plainly that the Trump Dynasty is just beginning. Ignore the law. Break the law. The Supremes will call this all "official duties" and therefore not actionable. Send the Army to quell demonstrations. Toss apostates into detention camps. Not actionable. All right out of the dictator's handbook.
