Almiron(m): 5:10am On Nov 15, 2024
President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday that he will nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Health and Human Services Department.

If the Senate approves Kennedy, the former independent presidential candidate will lead a sprawling department responsible for the huge Medicare and Medicaid health coverage programs, the Food and Drug istration, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

HHS’s decisions on spending and policies have major effects on the U.S. health-care system and related businesses.

Kennedy, 70, is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, the late U.S. attorney general and Democratic senator from New York who was assassinated in 1968 by a gunman in Los Angeles as he ran for president. He is the nephew of former President John Kennedy who was assassinated in 1963.

Trump said in October that if elected he would let Kennedy “go wild on health.”

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social site Thursday.

“For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health,” Trump wrote
.


"The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any istration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country.”

Kennedy, in a post on X, thanked Trump and wrote, “I’m committed to advancing your vision to Make America Health Again.”

We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy wrote. “I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth.”

Kennedy told NBC News in a recent interview that Trump has said he wants Kennedy to “clean up corruption” at federal health agencies, return those agencies to science-based policies and “make America healthy again.” Kennedy said that “there are entire departments, like the nutrition department at the FDA, that have to go.

Kennedy last week reportedly suggested he would fire 600 NIH workers and replace them.

His “Make America Healthy” website has been seeking suggestions from the public for more than 4,000 appointee posts across the federal government to be filled by Trump.

The man has really planned and prepared himself for governance and already knows who to work with to bring good and sound governance to the people but trust a country we all know, where the winner will be looking for who to compensate for helping him steal ballot boxes and rigging elections, this will likely take months to do the square pegs in and round holes.
Dedicating my FTC to all the genuine hustler in this country, with family and children plus the harshness in this economy, may God bless your hustles, don't be deceived, you have already made heaven because of the experience here.

When it comes to Governance Trump is no body's mate. Give it to him. What Trump did in his first term as POTUS is a testament to this, till the demonic fóolish Gay party democrat came into power and destroyed everything. Trump is the right man to fix everything now.

Sometimes I weep for the zoo. Democrat is not as worse as APC , Joe Biden is nothing bad as the fool in Aso rock. Joe Biden in of governance is zillion times better than the fraudulent thief of Iragbiji. But America rejected him, rejected Kamala that was part of his government, go for who they think is the best. But you'll see how this Iragbiji illiterate with nothing to show for the wasted 4 years being reelected again. Black man is truly cursed.

Americans are really million ways ahead of Africans especially Nigerians. An elected president in Nigeria will mount office and wait for another 6 months before appointing roles, at the end, they will still appoint nonsēnse cabinet .

Trump never enter White house and he is already working. This is to show you he is fully ready...and most African presidents are not ready. They just want to answer president.

If you are not hypocrite and you really know what's going on outside your own enclave, you would know that, the man you are praising, not far, (if not even worse) ,than the person you are conderming at home.

You will also know that, the kinds of people that man of America appointing now, is already causing growing concern, even within his own party men.


......... anyway, what can we say about people, who conderming hardliner at home, but praising dictator abroad. Indeed, man full faceless forum.

Meanwhile, the way the mad man wasted American lives in 2019 COVID debacles, U biliv foolish Americans,are'nt yet satisfied, this time around, I PRAY THE MAD MAN SHOULD COME OUT IN FULL FORCE, TO SHOW THEM HIS TOTAL MADNESS IN HIM.

The dynamics in Nigeria are different,there is far less political considerations when it comes to appointments by the POTUS but over here all 36 states needs to be considered.....trump can fill his cabinet with only his family so far he is convinced they will get the job done,no one will bother over there but here in naija,the first thing we check is name and where the appointee is from.
