Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed as head of Health and Human Services.

Despite some ferocious opposition from the Democrats and even his own family Kennedy passed the Senate and is now HHS boss hog.

I don't much care, frankly; Kennedy is going to be very good about telling us what happened with Covid (or not - he IS a Democrat still, and a Kennedy) but he sucked on abortion and other such issues. I wasn't invested in his confirmation.

But it's still a great day because the Democrats have now been completely skunked on their opposition to everyone except Matt Gaetz.

This is important; anyone who follows any sports knows that momentum is a huge part of the game (any game) and when you have it you need to keep it. One mistake and you can get cold as ice and wind up losing the game. When it's on your side you seem to be able to do no wrong. The last Superbowl proved that; the EAgles haed the momentum and they made the defending champions in Kansas City look like high-school kids. They were not any better than the Chiefs, just had the momentum. They wound up squashing K.C. like bugs.

It works like that in politics too.

So the more we crush them the more demoralized they become, and the more we win. If they can't so much as stop Kennedy or Gabbard's confirmation they will come to believe they can't stop anything.

Frankly, choosing two Democrats was a stroke of brilliance by Trump in that it told moderate Democrats they had a place to go and at the same time rubbed the Donkeys noses in it. Trump just walked away with two of their own and they couldn't stop him.

Frankly I don't really trust Kennedy (I trust Gabbard more but don't really trust her either) and I think we need to keep his feet to the fire. But it's a great day nonetheless.

BTW the name Kennedy is Irish Gaelic for "ugly head". Take what you will from that.
