Sometimes it’s underwater, sometimes it’s above, and divers have not been able to make entry into the helicopter yet because of the lack of stability there.”

Did You Catch Megyn Kelly Laughing at the Buffoon Bernie Sanders During the RFK Jr. Hearing? (VIDEO)
January 29, 2025
Senator Bernie Sanders made an absolute fool of himself at the RFK Jr. hearing today, going off on an unhinged rant about ‘onesies’ for some reason.
Megyn Kelly was at the hearing and sitting not too far behind RFK Jr. on his right side. When Bernie started his ridiculous tirade, Kelly could be seen by the camera, laughing at the absurdity of Bernie’s comments.
The American media either didn’t notice or chose to ignore it, but not the Irish press.
Megyn Kelly distracts from RFK Jr. confirmation hearing as she cackles in audience – ‘so ridiculous’
Political commenter Megyn Kelly sat behind Robert Kennedy Jr. during his confirmation hearing, where he faced the Senate’s questions to vet him for the US Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Social media users spotted Kelly cracking up as Democrats grilled Kennedy on his conflicting statements throughout his public political career.
During the hearing, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders goes on a spirited rant, and Kelly is seen giggling at Sander’s presentation. Sanders asked Kennedy if he was supportive of child onesie clothing with anti-vaccination messages, which were being sold on Kennedy’s anti-vaccine non-profit. “Are you supportive of these onesies,” Sanders demanded Kennedy.

CONFIRMED: Lee Zeldin is Now Trump’s Head of the Environmental Protection Agency

Former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin was confirmed to head the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) today.
The news was obscured by Senate Democrats throwing temper tantrums at the RFK Jr. hearing, but this is big news. Zeldin is a strong member of team MAGA and he will do a fine job heading up the EPA.
Over the last four years, the green movement had a tremendous amount of influence over the White House. Those days are over.
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) to take the helm of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
He was confirmed in a 56-42 vote. Democrats Mark Kelly (Ariz.), John Fetterman (Pa.) and Ruben Gallego (Ariz.) voted with Republicans in favor of his confirmation.
Zeldin was a surprise pick for the EPA administrator role because during his congressional tenure, he was more well known for working on international affairs.
But he has been a major defender of President Trump, including during the president’s first impeachment in 2019.
During his confirmation hearing, Democrats pressed Zeldin on climate change — given Trump’s frequent dismissal of the phenomenon as a hoax.
The team is coming together.
CONFIRMED! Thank You to the 56 Senators for your vote and confidence.
Grateful to President @realDonaldTrump for having the faith in me to be part of his Cabinet as @EPA Administrator.
It’s time to return the EPA to its original mission of protecting America’s air, land, and water without furthering costly, ineffective, and unconstitutional “green” energy agendas. pic.twitter.com/FAHsLKCHKR

Victor Reacts: Some Things to Remember When They Attack RFK Jr. (VIDEO)
January 29, 2025
Democrats like Senator Warren are on a warpath to stop the confirmation of RFK Jr. and with a little context, it becomes more interesting.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
President Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday as his confirmation hearings got underway.
As expected, Democrat Senators sneered at RFK Jr. as he confronted the lawmakers about wasting taxpayers’ money.
Fake Indian and Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) lost it on RFK Jr. after he exposed her for defending Big Pharma.
Warren begged RFK Jr. not to sue Big Pharma.
“I’ll comply with all of the ethical guidelines,” RFK Jr. said to Senator Warren as she grilled him on
“Senator! You are asking me not to sue vaccine — pharmaceutical companies! Yeah you are! That’s exactly what you’re doing!” RFK Jr. said.
Elizabeth Warren shouted at RFK Jr.: “No! I am not!”
She continued, “Look! No one should be fooled here! As Secretary of HHS, Robert Kennedy will have the power to undercut vaccines and vaccine manufacturing!”
The senator seems to be very worried that RFK Jr. might profit off big pharma. Curiously, according to opensecret.org, Senator Warren has a history of being one of the top recipients of money from Pharmaceuticals/Health Products.
It is also worth remembering as we sit through the hysterics of the left, that they defended Mr. Rachael Levine as Assistant Secretary for Health of HHS.
