Shortly after President-elect Donald Trump appointed Tom Homan as "border czar," the immigration hardliner's hilarious 2019 smackdown of Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York went viral on social media. Trump supporters gushed that Homan's epic schooling of AOC confirms that he's the right man for the job. The viral...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the incoming Trump administration should immediately replace 600 National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees. “We need to act fast, and we want to have those people in place on Jan. 20, so that on Jan. 21, 600 people are going to walk into offices at NIH and 600 people are going to leave,” RFK Jr. said at the Genius Network Annual Event in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to the New York Post. RFK Jr. suggests 600 people from the National Institutes of Health will be fired on day one of Trump’s second term https://t.co/stPHJBhLEQ pic.twitter.com/8DYhkYzNwo — New York Post (@nypost) November 12, 2024 From the New York Post: The Democrat-turned-Donald Trump ally has long argued that federal health agencies have been “captured” by the pharmaceutical industry that they are supposed to regulate, likening it to “corruption” that has had a negative impact on the health and safety of Americans. Kennedy, 70, noted at the Genius Network event that he’s working to raise $10 million before President-elect Trump’s inauguration to help fill key Department of Health and Human Services roles, according to ABC News. “We need to be able to respond very quickly and need to have a really, really good crack staff right now — we have the people, [but] we need to get them paid, we need to get them housing in Florida, so they can be right there when we walk into these transition meetings day after day,” he said. Kennedy also provided insight into how Trump, 78, is going about considering people to staff his incoming administration. “He comes into the meeting and he very quickly — you know, there are eight giant screens and each person has a picture of themselves on the screen, they have a biography next to them, you can press a button and see three different clips of that person … and he goes through them very, very quickly and he says, ‘I want that guy,’” the former environmental lawyer said. In a separate interview, RFK Jr. said entire departments from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) need to go. The former presidential candidate said some departments, such as nutrition, “have to go” because they’re not “doing their job” to protect children. “I can get the corruption out of the agencies,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been doing for 40 years. I’ve sued all those agencies. I have a Ph.D. in corporate corruption,” he added. WATCH: BREAKING: RFK Jr. just vowed to remove entire departments of the FDA!

This includes its aggressive suppression of psychedelics, peptides, stem cells, raw milk, hyperbaric therapies, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, clean foods, sunshine, exercise, nutraceuticals and anything else that advances human health and can’t be patented by Pharma,” RFK Jr. said in October. “If you work for the FDA and are part of this corrupt system, I have two messages for you: 1. Preserve your records, and 2. Pack your bags,” he added. FDA’s war on public health is about to end.

Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) October 25, 2024 Per Newsweek: The NIH is a federal agency that is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and serves as the nation’s medical research agency. Its workforce is similar to that of universities and academic medical centers. NIH employees work in research settings, clinics and in the field worldwide. Many are world-renowned experts in their respective disciplines. As of September 30, 2021, the NIH had 18,718 employees, according to its website. Kennedy previously proposed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that half of NIH’s research budget should be spent on “preventative, alternative and holistic” medicines.

Who says that waiting for your flight has to be boring? Thanks to a curious creature, folks at LaGuardia Airport in NYC found themselves in a situation they never would have expected. As a number of people waited near their gate, a raccoon somehow managed to make their way to the ceiling tiles above. But not even the ceiling could keep this raccoon away from the Spirit Airlines gate below! As you might imagine, a bit of chaos ensued when the raccoon first made their appearance. They did, after all, show up by dangling from a wire in the ceiling. But the creature didn’t stay here for long. Soon, they tumbled onto a suitcase, leaving folks to simply wait for their new animal friend to be ushered out of the airport. See this moment for yourself in the video below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ABC News (@abcnews) As chaotic as this moment was for everyone involved, the raccoon included, this unexpected story does have a good ending. For starters, absolutely no one got hurt. Plus, the Port Authority confirmed that the raccoon “was safely located and released outside, with no further sightings [reported].” “I guess they let anyone fly Spirit,” Rowan Danaher, the person who captured this moment, writes. Curious Raccoon Plops Down From the Ceiling at a Spirit Airlines Gate… and Nobody Can Say They’re Entirely Surprised Since this situation turned out okay, folks are finding the humor in it. This includes poking fun at the fact it took place at a Spirit Airlines gate specifically. “Of course in front of Spirit,” someone writes in the comments, with another adding, “Spirts new mascot. They always sneak in/out.” “Poor fella. It was already a chaotic commute for him through the ceiling. Now it breaks?!” a third person jokes. “What an unreliable ceiling.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
