It's a race to the bottom of who is MAGA enough. Dinesh D'Souza recently experienced this when he proclaimed several years ago to be "one of the good ones". Fast forward to today and he's the target of MAGA for not being white. https://www.hindustantimes.com...

But don't feel too bad though. I guarantee who D'Souza will vote for in the next election.

I asked Grok to detail the cash taken by SpaceX.

Based on comprehensive analyses up to early 2025:

Cumulative since 2003: Approximately $22.6 billion specifically for SpaceX (part of a broader $38 billion across Musk's companies, including Tesla's $15.7 billion).

This includes over $20 billion in federal contracts since 2008, with nearly $9 billion already paid out and the rest committed.
Federal and local governments committed a record $6.3 billion in 2024 alone, the highest annual total to date.

I followed through all the drivel to find the actual quote.

“If indeed the latter is true, then AIDS takes on an entirely new dimension,” it continued. “If we add to this possibility that nonsexual, non-blood-borne transmission is possible, the scope of the syndrome may be enormous.” Although the article reiterated the need to “be cautious” in accepting these findings as they awaited more evidence, the discovery “should at least alert us to the possibility that we are truly dealing with AIDS in children,” as transmitted through routine interaction.

Sorry your King Fauci got deposed, I know its hard to deal with the lack of closure. We should have hanged him..

Fauci started working for the Reagan administration. He's one of the most experienced and knowledgeable people there is when it comes to virology and outbreaks. Can you recommend an equal (or better) qualified non woke replacement?
