As the biggest multinational K-Street lobbyists break out the big checkbooks to oppose Robert F Kennedy Jr., the HHS nominee will likely be the hardest nomination to advance.
Robert F Kennedy will face Big Ag and Big Rx solidly against him as he tries to win support from skeptical Republican senators. According to Politico, Senator Grassley, Senator Rick Scott, Senator Tommy Tuberville, Senator Lankford and Senator Markwayne Mullin, appear to be supporting RFK Jr. However, Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski, not so much.
When asked about RFK Jr, Senator John Kennedy was very noncommittal, and appears to reflect much of the Republican positions: WATCH:
.
Clutching defeat from the jaws of victory……a trait favored by Republican Congress Critters.
Senator And his Platitudes along with his good old Swamp cliche`. He like mike Johnson are owned by the BI CIA NSA. RINO . The deep state has the goods on all these maggots. Why do you think they keep passing these spending bills? got to keep the theft stream moving.
Otherwise known as “taking a dive”.
An RFK confirmation would eat into Kennedy’s Pharma lobbyists money, betcha.
And further, I betcha he isn’t the only one.
The “Senator” represents Big Sugar in Louisiana..
I haven’t noticed RFK Jr. particularly trying to demonize sugar as driving the obesity epidemic, but I have seen many media figures and politicians trying to do so before this, particularly when it came to soda, which doesn’t even have sugar in it.
Sen Kennedy loves the sound of his voice.
Indeed….
He is about as full of Sht as a Stockyard.Like that worthies Trey Gowdy.Old POS Mike Johnson is rubber stamping another CR. When they finally bankrupt us ,you won’t be able to find their Scuzzy behinds. They will be over seas with their communist friends ,were their bankers are.
Well said!
He sounds like Gomer Pyle and I saw him on the Fox Business channel yesterday making fun of RFK’s voice.
Liar, liar pants on fire. Can’t stand this guy, he has zero problems taking money from Gates.
Fire your lawyer and I might vote for you. I have an open mind.
Ah, he’s a Gates guy …
Didn’t know that.
Thank you.
He is a vaccine pusher. I’m sure Gates is bff with him
We’ll have to resort to notarized letter-writing campaign. Bury them in support for RFK, for each and every promising Trump nomination.
Pathetic…just Pathetic. These clown SOB’s have no real interest in fixing things. Maybe we need to get rid of all of them, and bring in the first 100 in the Boston phone book.
That’s a shame. He appears to be one of the more sensible people in the swamp.
Who funds him?
Big Pharma. Big AG. The MIC, I could go on.
They are all fed from the same trough. Taxpayers, lobbyists and corporations.
And they want Mrna is our food…one way or another…either in the beef, which the libs don’t want us to eat anyway…or other food products.
Pfizer.
And, because of the tie in between big pharma and the MIC and the I/C, which is the whole biolabs to do GOF, and then make Vaccines scam, if you take on Big Pharma, you inherently take on their allies.
Hence, the most powerful consortium of “tptb” will be aligned against Jr., and the Senators will show their true colors, over this nomination.
Already this Kennedy is defensive, playing to the cameera and trying to sound “reasonable” and “measured” as he tries out a possible line of justification; because Jrs lawyer called for stopping the polio vaccine.
Its the old “your brothers neighbors child hood friends uncle,…MIGHT have attended a KKK rally, back in the ’30’s.”
Your use of the word “consortium” says it all. Big Pharma and “their allies”…
“He appears to be” is a long way from “he is”.
Yes, they all “appear to be” and are great at 10 minute soundbites on C-Span, thatvthey can use for campaign commercials; Jordan, Grassley,…even Little Lindsey ladybugs,..it means LESS THAN NOTHING.
LOL
New to DC, eh?
He always tries to appear as a jokester, a grandfatherly type with a sense of humor, with his one liners, and snarky remarks towards the so called opposition.
When in reality, he is as much of a RINO as the rest of the backstabbing GOP’ers.
Money talks, bulls**t walks, the typical attitude of the money grubbing politicians from the swamp. They lie to your face, while they steal your money, and pat themselves on the back.
I dont trust any of them. Not 1. Period.
I trust PDJT.
The rest of them are just there for the lobbyist money….
*spit *.
He is channeling Senator Ervin, of the bushy eyebrows and Watergate fame.
Yes, I remember him. John K. is ‘entertaining’, but: what has he done for MAGA?
Senator Beauford T. Cornpone.
Now that’s funny😂🤣😂🤣
Donald Trump brings out the worst in the inside-the-beltway character; that’s good, we are no longer fooled.
In God We Trust. All others answer to Kash.
Beautifully stated BobofThe North!
I’ve already sent him and Cassidy several emails explaining that neither will have my vote their next primary.
Good
I’d like a long conversation with Sen. Kennedy et. al. about doing what they were sent there to do, represent the winning team first and then the larger electorate
This! They are to represent the people. They are NOT our “leaders”!
We voted for President Trump and we want his picks confirmed. What the Senators think means nothing to us.
They currently represent the K Street folks.
“Senator Grassley, Senator Rick Scott, Senator Tommy Tuberville, Senator Lankford and Senator Markwayne Mullin, appear to be supporting RFK Jr.”
Grassley F 56%
Scott B 86%

Sorry. Missed my hopium dose today.
Given Grassley is a two faced snake in the grass, owmned by Big Ag, I doubt he is a supporter of Jr. although he will be unlikely to openly oppose him, he is not a “good guy” he just plays one on C-SPAN.
And where do you list Mike Lee, Utah Senator?
Mike Lee’s main concern is getting more visas for foreign workers. He wants an unlimited amount of H1B visas and no cap on green cards.
IMO He’s never been concerned about US citizens. His main concern is getting more foreigners from China and India to take American jobs.
https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/12/3/22151179/immigration-discrimination-visa-foreign-workers-green-card-mike-lee-senate-american-worker/
Senator Lee’s Freedom Index is 94% https://thenewamerican.com/freedom-index/legislator/f000246/
that article is from almost 5 yrs ago, do you know his current stance on this?
Remove Roy Blunt please! I have asked several times before this. He retired.
Retired upward to more $$$ I’m sure.
Course!
Missouri did get Eric Schmitt, so I’m happy.
Schmidt may be the ONLY one, although they did letvhim win, whereas they kept Kari out….
Schmitt = 92% score and Hawley = 96%. Not bad for MO… alittle more to go tho. 😁
Yes Dutch-quite curious.
I have reservations about Hawley as well as all Senators.
are there no D senators who would support RFK Jr? why not ?
Because they consider him to be a “traitor” to the D party.
Because he wants to make America Healthy again, which means Big Ag and Big Pharma and Big Healthcare will be under fire, which means so will Big Money.
Because Democrats (or Republicans) are not for the people. They are for themselves.
RFK JR actually believes in what he is trying to accomplish. Why else would he put his neck so far out? This is going to be an enormous fight.
This will be the biggest single fight of all of them. Well,fight fight fight!
MAYBE Fetterman?
Fetterman needs some health.
Kennedy is fun to watch but nothing comes of it. The perfect Kabuki theater.
His gotcha questioning of judicial appointees always struck me as exactly that, Kabuki.
Southern Shtick Kabuki at that!
As far as his gotcha style of questioning, it’s easy for a dumbass to look smart when he has the answer sheet in front of him.
Senators know that the more “on the fence” they pretend to be, the more the lobbyist cash flows in to tilt them one way or the other. If they give away the game too soon they get no such attention. A Hamlet-like theatrical performance “to approve or not to approve, that is the question.” is what fills up the campaign coffers, fills the calendar with high-priced expense account meals at the best restaurants, gifts lots of swag to the staffers and family members, etc.
With friends like this who needs enemies!
If the Senate won’t confirm RFK Jr. , bring him aboard as a White House special advisor for health and human service issues; make it clear that any Cabinet member who opposes the White House policies on HHS issues had better have a good reason for doing so; to be prepared to be overruled — and then to be fired outright if they refuse to cooperate after having been overruled.
Furlow the entire staff of the agency while waiting for the confirmation. They can take as long as they want, but no work is getting done and no one is getting paid.
Nice
Repugnicans gotta repug.
“Robert F Kennedy will face Big Ag and Big Rx solidly against him as he tries to win support from skeptical Republican senators”
And Big CIA behind the tree..
Or in golf course bushes.
Exactly, its the Covid scam that provides the nexus for big pharma, MIC “Health” Industrial Complex and I/C.
PDJT is our nuke for the swamp, and Jr. is PDJT’s nuke, and he WILL deploy him, one way or another.
Actually, it might almost be better if Jr is NOT confirmed; if it finally exposes RINOS like Grassley, so that he is finally put out to pasture, and Jr working in an official capacity as Head of HHS, or whatever, may have less latitude than as a “Special Assistant to the President” who is able to wield the full authority OF the President.
So, go ahead Senators,…make PDJT’s day, and seal your own fate.
You are screwed either way, and PDJT WINS either way. Therevis absolutely NO valid reason for PDJT to withdraw the nomination, and every reason to FORCE them to a vote.
Foghorn Leghorn will have some moronic, homespun wisdom to add, no doubt.
Getting rid of these RINO frauds has to be high on Trump’s list of priorities.
High on OUR list of priorities!
In this case, I think Senator Kennedy is being wise in leveraging his Senate vote to come to terms with RFK, Jr.. Remember who RFK, Jr is, his heritage and moderate-left background, before one considers him a MAGA/MAHA warrior.
I honestly don’t trust RFK, Jr. The Kennedys as a family were a corrupt political machine. From JFK, who didn’t “win” his election (Nixon was cheated by Joe Kennedy’s election fraud machine, just as Trump was cheated by OBAMA/clinton/biden, Inc. in 2020). But, then again, I don’t trust 98% of GOP Senators and House Reps, for reasons proven by history, beyond any shadow of a doubt.
So, heck, let the RFK, Jr. confirmation games begin.
Compared to the corruption we have today, what JFK and his Dad did in that election was fairly tame compared to today where every Republican and Democrat are owned by the Deep State and lobbyists. Not to mention the corrupt fraudulent elections we have today, at least they had to do it the old fashioned way with paper ballots.
Don’t forget that the Kennedy’s fought against the Deep State during their administration, specifically the CIA and others. RFK knows this history better than most I presume, and knowing too many secrets is why they oppose him.
And they blew his brains out.
And don’t forget, they DID steal an election that was all paper ballots, hand counted at the precinct, with voter i.d. and few absentee ballots, etc.
It was a “dirty” State party political machine (Dem) in Illinois and an incompetent or complicit Rep party that enabled the election to be stolen.
So, change all the machanics you want, paper ballots, etc and leave the RINOS in charge of the State parties, and you just expended a whole lot of effort, for nothing.
On the other hand, vote out the Rinos on the State Executive committee, and replace them with MAGA, and watch how easy it is to get meaningful election reform.
re: Election fraud. That’s one thing that bothers me about people complaining about “the machines”. Software is designed per specs, drafted by a human being, i.e. a so called “subject matter expert”. If you want us (i.e. IT software designers) to write you an air-tight, banking and finance level secure election app, with transaction logs and permanent audit trails documenting every step that happened, to enable the entire history of an election to be reproduced, and repeated, we CAN and WILL do that. If the design calls for “flexibility” in access, in parameter settings, with modifiable audit trails, allowing “the very smart people, the right people” the ability to tilt the election, given enough cash, we could do that too.
The problem is (a) election procedures, (b) election law (e.g. voter Id), and (c) law enforcement (i.e. if the perps don’t go to jail after election fraud, the same perps will do it again and again). Machines just automate the fraud, or secure the record, whatever they are programmed to do.
When people excitedly focus on “election machine fraud”, they are leaving open the very real chance that AFTER the machines are removed from the process, manual election fraud will occur just like it always has throughout history. It’s not even about “who counts the votes”, but who manages the elections, who enforces the law, and by what standards are they held to. Get that right, and elections are quick, easy affairs.
The week and month long “vote counting” are a priori, criminal fraud. The ONLY way an election can last three weeks, is that someone is waiting for the right “number”, the number of ballots for their favored candidates that must be added to the system (or subtracted from the initial winners totals, or switched, whatever), so that their candidate can FINALLY finish ahead.
(And, just like that, I’ve thread-jacked from RFK, Jr.’s qualification process, to election fraud. One reason why, is election integrity is VITAL to our freedom, it’s never resolved, so we’re continually pissed off about it, and that bleeds out to every other conversation about everything, like the Kennedy election fraud reputation – there I pulled it back in, back to the topic of RFK, Jr.. 🙃😁)
/end rant
Bravo Sir!
(Ret. A. F.)
Paging Sam Giancanna….paging Sam Giancanna
Yeah. I like what RFK JR is standing for and support him.
HOWEVER, the bad blood with the Kennedys goes way, way, back.
Recess appointment.
I don’t buy that view. If Kennedy cheated using the mafia why would he and Bobby try to take them down after the election? Doesn’t add up. Why would anyone believe what the mafia says? JFK worked for peace, which is probably why they assassinated him.
Sorry Joan. Its been documented, the girl that transported the suitcase (with a million $) by train from boston to chicago, the goons who rode shotgun to protect it, I can’t provide the links, but its all out there if you want to look.
As is the GOP/DNC/I/C convspiracy to politically assasinate JFK’s opponent, B. Goldwater.
He would not have taken being handled by the CIA any more than JFK, and so both had to go, so they could have the War in Viet Nam.
$64K question…..and JFK did say he was going to….smash the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind.
And warming up in the bullpen…. #33…. Ben Carson!(whom I’d prefer BTW.)
Wasn’t/Isn’t Dr. Carson battliing some health issues? Seems I read that here a while back.
another Senator raises his hand and begs to be primaried
This sen. john kennedy is a dirty POLITICAL WHORE that prances around and dances and sings like a cute little minstrel to the delight and demands of his masters.
MAHA is in lock step with MAGA and the America 1st revolution. I can’t wait for their questions. Kennedy, like Vance, knows how his doubters and opposition sing their same ol worn out song.
Read any book in existence that tells the truth about vaccines copyright before 2020 and it will give the example of the polio vaccine as the definitive case of the deadliest vaccine in history. Only since the plandemic clot shot has there been one more deadly. The polio vaccine has probably killed into the tens of millions of people and is not known to have saved even one. It was introduced years after the polio epidemic was already over. How can the senator be so factually dead wrong about something so provable and nowadays so well known. Has he been living in a cave? Or maybe in Joe’s plandemic proof basement?
I didn’t know that the polio vaccine was deadly – please give a reference for this. My brother and I had the polio shot and we did not get polio.
The polio vaccine is/was laced with sv40 (Simian virus 40) which causes cancer. Search for “sv40 and the polio vaccine”. Here’s one from Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/1207877
Best place to start is probably the book ‘Disolving Illusions’ by Susan Humphreys MD and Roman Bystrianyk 10th Anniversary Edition.
The current polio vaccine is not the Sabin or Salk vaccine that most of us think of when we use the phrase “polio vaccine”. The new version has not been adequately tested according to reports.
“The Advice and Consent of the Senate.” Let us begin.
the Republican Party sux.
The Kennedy Two Trillion Step Fraud.
Less a dance than a stomp.
On us.
Mock them all. They don’t want to vote for healthy food, MOCK THEM. Make them famous with meme’s.
Sen Kennedy with his good ole’ boy persona fools a lot of people, because he talks a good game and uses a lot of zingers at hearings.
I have always thought his “act” was designed to impress us deplorables, not to do the right thing.
When,honestly, has he been in the front row when a tough conservative vote was taken? Can’t think of a time. Anybody?
Hey John, follow your own advice: “Why don’t you go to Amazon and buy a spine online and take a stand?”
“https://www.yahoo.com/news/why-don-t-buy-spine-145525349.html”
The whole polio vaccine thing has been blown way out of proportion. I’ve seen several seemingly credible stories of ONE SOURCE of a polio vaccine RFK Jr. is against, but it’s been generalized to death. I trust RFK Jr. much more since learning of the link between crap in our food, HMOs, and Pharma. The money trail is big and has been business as usual for a long time, So I wish him luck, he’ll need it.
Research Simian Virus 40 and the Polio Vaccine. This article seems legitimate: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK221118/
“The committee concludes that the biological evidence is strong that SV40 is a transforming virus.
Can SV40 Cause Cancer in Humans under Conditions of Natural Exposure?There is a theoretical basis for the existence of mechanisms by which SV40 could cause cancer in humans. The principal lines of evidence for the operation of specific mechanisms are that SV40 acts in ways consistent with tumorigenesis and that DNA sequences consistent with SV40 have been detected in several types of human tumors.”
After Covid I trust none of the vaccines and or doctors or hospitals big pharma and defiantly don’t support these ying yang politians this guy does not have my best interest at heart they continue to exploit us the people. so Mr. Kennedy can jump off the mountain or go home I don’t want to have any of their help. GTF away from me !!
Whores
That’s an insult to Ladies-of-the-Evening!!!
These DC clowns live in a bubble that really needs bursting,
Or burning?
He’s full of it…with his folksy golly gee act…always seeking out a camera to articulate his supposed “conservative” views.
Look at his voting record…sides with the Dims and McConnell every time…
He needs to be exposed as a what he is…a total fraud…
Can we accept things as they are and stop pretending there are two opposing political parties in Congress. While were at it, might want to stop pretending Jr. is not a member of the Club.
Important to remember….Its A Big Club and We Aint In It.
At around the 5 minute mark he says, “Our job is to make sure his choices help move his agenda, our agenda…”
He either slipped up or spoke the truth in an unguarded moment. Make no mistake, the Senate’s agenda – the Neo Cons, Deep State, IC agenda – IS the Senate’s agenda.
“Big Ag and Big Rx solidly against him” because Big Ag uses tons of Monsanto GMO corn, GMO soybeans with all that lovely Monsanto roundup to poison the people.
Then Big Food uses the GMO high fructose corn syrup, cornmeal and soybeans in almost every processed food to insure the people will be sickened and be constant customers of Big Pharma. Pretty straight forward.
RFK Jr is a threat to their business model.
https://robynobrien.com/how-monsanto-took-over-our-food-system-a-graphical-history/
Did you mean “Big Harma”? darned spell check, does that to me all the time. Argh!
Yes, thats the scam, distilled it perfectly. The question is, with such a perpetual cash cow, why have they decided to shuck that, and instead try killing off 90% of the Worlds population, and enslaving the rest?
They had a “good thing” whi push all this Climate change, DEI, Woke b.s. and try to kill us off?
Bless his heart…
Again, these morons forget who they really work for. Can’t stand these people.
Skeptical bought and paid for RINO’s.
Polio, along w/all vaccines should be banned indefinitely until they either stop adding or find a safe alternative to the currently used “adjuvant”. Most, if not ‘all’ vaccines, currently contain poison. I pulled my military medical records and did some rough math a couple years ago, I’m at almost 10 times the safe allowable limit of mercury salts! There’s no purging that from your body, it’s for life…
Imagine that’s also why dentists stopped using amalgam in favor of resin for fillings years ago.
President Trump said he was for the Salk Vaccine for polio. So I wonder if it a problem to go back to that and maybe the Sabine?
John ‘Kabuki’ Kennedy……enough said…….
He’s good for funny soundbites, anything else?
In spite of some of the charges against Senator Kennedy today , I think his take down of various government and nongovernment people ( NCCA Official on trans in sports) is always one of the best…👏👏..JMO🤔
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Clever sound bites aren’t even remotely the take downs we need.
All Talk and No Action results in Nothing Good For We the People.
If senator Kennedy wants to go into comedy as a part time gig then he should go ahead and do it. But his folksy snark schtick went stale years ago.
How many of them did he vote against?
Senator Kennedy IMO was pretty open about his issues. I see this as guidance for RFK Jr … maybe to ‘tighten up’ his goals / specifics in prep of all future meetings.
And since the senator said something to the effect that he wants PE Trump to make the right choices, Jr might seek council first with the President Elect before he meets with the senator. IOW to show alignment with the President in those areas where S Kennedy has ‘concerns’.
Senator Kennedy, we are watching and keeping score.
If you fail to give the Trumpster the cabinet he desires, then you will be primaried.
Well now, I believe I can safely make one pretty good prediction about the future.
And that is…We’re going to have a whole lot of Senatorial ‘grand’ theater by both wings of the Uniparty on almost all of PT’s nominees!
I have had enough of the Industrial Poisoners and the sorry assed Congress on the take.. I guess my other comment was too spicy, so here’s this one..
The attorney that Senator Cornball was referring to is Aaron Siri.
The attorney states that he filed a petition that asked for a pause on one single version (out of 6 on the market) of the vaccine. The version in question is polio vaccine IPOL for infants and children. It was licensed in 1990.
Siri states that he has never opposed polio vaccines in general. He just wants additional trials to be conducted on this one version. That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
Senator Ham Bone might want to tread lightly in publicly defaming Aaron Siri. Calling him “stupid” in public when the Bumpkin Senator seems unaware of all the facts seems somewhat….stupid.
Or dishonest.
Siri is hero.
I’ll take stupid AND dishonest for 1 trillion, Alex…
With friends like this Kennedy, who needs enemies? He talks a good game, but I’ve seen this played out by him, before. Just like Trey Gowdy. All talk, no positive results. We just aren’t going to be able to weed these traitors out. We’re going to have to fumigate at a whole new level. There’s no way to find all of the bugs the traitors will place everywhere. They’re still at war with US, but most still refuse to see it.
I don’t trust Kennedy at all despite people I like who support him.
