EP39-Christmas, Elections and Government Cheese Notes

The outcomes of the 2024 election Will have long standing ramifications for this country, and the appointments are just one part of it. We discussed RFK, Jr a bit and what he's going to get up to. While there's a lot of interviews and speeches we watched, and those are found easily enough on Youtube or Rumble, below you'll find some of the sources we used on it.

Here's a cliff notes version from AP of facts and opinions about RFK. A bit slanted, but not a useless piece: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/politics/robert-f-kennedy-donald-trump-hhs/index.html

Detailing out Trumps selection of RFK for the head of HHS: https://apnews.com/article/robert-f-kennedy-jr-rfk-things-to-know-explained-who-is-hhs-5288a4a7277d1a0b4a7ede8f57a971ce

You can check out the "fact-checking" of RFK's claims below; this is just one example of many of concerted mainstream media editorializing on the subject. Don't get us wrong-some of his claims sound pretty damned wacky, but he does have legitimate questions and concerns; a lot of these whole-cloth dismissals are meant to use the wacky to invalidate valid concerns: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mzk2y41zvo

We also discussed a good bit about Syria. Below you'll find some of the more detailed sources we found on news websites regarding what's going on there. While we haven't done much research on the Syria situation, it is a developing situation:

We also talked a bit about government cheese! Had a few laughs about it; I mentioned the Fat Electrician and his video on the subject. Check it out below:
