Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of health and human services, is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. He must resign.

Mr. Kennedy and the rest of the Trump administration tell us, over and over, that they want to Make America Healthy Again. That’s a great slogan. I agree with it. The problem is that since coming into office President Trump and Mr. Kennedy have done exactly the opposite.

      David defeated Goliath with state-of-the art weaponry.

      Don’t Quixote wakes up on his deathbed disillusioned about his insanity, rejects chivalry and all the harm he’s caused pursuing it, and declares that his neice will be disinherrited if she marries someone who reads of chivalry.

    Someday when all the Palestinians are dead, the world will reckon with what it did to this population. Same way they now talk about the native Americans or something — except we are supposed to know better now.
