Orwellian moments abound faster than we can absorb. Trump continues his attack on history. Do recent DEI purges show the USA has fallen as low as it can go? I fear not. Pages about Native American Code Talkers who helped US and allies win two world wars have been removed from Pentagon websites, as well as a page about Jackie Robinson's war contributions.
Alina Habba, as special counsel to the orange one, will be pulling in over $420 thousand a year from US taxpayers, and has a networth $35 million earned defending Trump from miscellaneous crimes. Her baffle-gab comments on steroids appeared in the Military Times and elsewhere.
“Well as you know we care about veterans tremendously. That’s something the president has always cared about,” Habba responded. “But at the same time, we have taxpayer dollars, we have a fiscal responsibility to use taxpayer dollars to pay people that actually work. That doesn’t mean that we forget our veterans by any means. We are going to care for them in the right way, but perhaps they’re not fit to have a job at this moment or [are] not willing to come to work.”
Are you happy your taxes are paying her salary? I suspect if you are reading this little rant you pay more taxes than this public leech. Now is a good time to support or increase support for the Internet Archive. Besides backing up websites on their Wayback Machine, there is astonishing stuff there. I give them $7.00 a month and will top that up a bit shortly.
