While your kids settle for less, Trump cashes in on foreign deals, flouts court orders, and builds a surveillance state with Musk. Welcome to the gilded age of gaslighting.
While advancements in medicine have expanded protection against a greater number of diseases, some continue to question the number and safety of vaccines given to children today.
In the 1970s, children were protected against 8 diseases through a series of 8 vaccine doses. These included life-saving immunizations against:
1. Diphtheria
2. Tetanus
3. Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
4. Polio
5. Measles
6. Mumps
7. Rubella (German Measles)
8. Smallpox (phased out during the 1970s)
Today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), modern vaccination schedules protect against up to 17 diseases with approximately 70 doses by the age of 18. These vaccines include:
1. Hepatitis B: 3 doses
2. Rotavirus: 2 or 3 doses (depending on the vaccine brand)
3. Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acellular Pertussis (DTaP): 5 doses
4. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib): 3 or 4 doses
5. Pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13): 4 doses
6. Polio (IPV): 4 doses
7. Influenza (Flu): Annual vaccination starting at 6 months
8. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR): 2 doses
9. Varicella (Chickenpox): 2 doses
10. Hepatitis A: 2 doses
11. Meningococcal conjugate: 2 doses
12. Human Papillomavirus (HPV): 2 or 3 doses (depending on age at initiation)
13. COVID-19: Varies depending on the vaccine type and schedule
Trump brushed off the looming cost of his latest tariffs on Chinese goods with a shrug and a sneer:
“Oh, the shelves are going to be empty. Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30.”
Spoken like a man whose children never had to settle for anything less than gilded excess.
The Trump spawn didn’t build empires—they inherited a con, polished it with entitlement, and weaponized it under cover of politics. They got rich off nepotism, grift, and the malignant halo of their father’s name—selling influence to the highest bidder, laundering legitimacy through hollow job titles, and cashing in on every loophole corrupt lawyers and cowardly regulators would let slide. They hawked ghostwritten books and empty brands, posed as business geniuses while suckling from daddy’s trust funds, and peddled access like carnival barkers in $10,000 suits.
And now, under Trump’s second term, the grift is no longer covert—it’s government policy. Taxpayer dollars are shoveled straight into Trump-owned properties, where Don Jr. and Eric skim the cream off inflated Secret Service invoices and bloated federal “event” budgets. Ivanka, cloaked in faux diplomacy, floats through shadow negotiations and White House kickbacks, still tethered to Jared’s Saudi billions. Together, they bankroll private clubs that double as pay-to-play pipelines, charge six-figure “membership fees” for proximity to power, and quietly collect from every government-funded banquet, summit, or golf outing that happens to land—surprise!—at a Trump venue.
This isn’t a family business. It’s a dynastic racket. A gold-plated parasite latched to the neck of American democracy. And every dollar they rake in now is soaked in the blood of our institutions.
Thank you again for your gift of writing and keeping us current with the crooks in charge. It’s very hard for me to understand how people like Orange face, family, and others in his cabinet can be so cruel to fellow citizens and human beings in general. I hope impeachment can happen soon.
ThankQ Mary, you summed it up beautifully and in your own unique way, with that rare combo of humor and seriousness.
Thank you!

Don’t forget..he imposed 26% pharma tariffs on India. We get generic medicines from them
