[George II]

....just voted for Dr. Rachel Levine to be Assistant Health & Human Services Secretary.

Just as I suspected yesterday, the media blew the comments by Duckworth and Hirono WAY out of proportion.

By the way, she's a white transgender woman, the first ever at that level of government. Another first by President Biden.

1. Thank you, George.

3. They both just voted for David Turk too - a white male.

5. That seems much more the lede than Levine

4. A popular media outlet revving up a nontroversy?! Well, I never!

But it let them say "Democrats in Disarray!" so, you know, worth it.

6. K&R!

7. And she is from the great state of Pennsylvania.

Every time Governor Wolf spoke to the people of PA about this horrible virus she was there to back him up.

8. Excellent. Media wants controversy for their ratings now that the former guy is gone. nt

9. The Media seems to be trolling for molehills to make Mountains out of

President Biden better not wear a Tan Suit!
