It is a government shutdown.

On the eve of President Biden’s last day in office then Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen adjusted the default window.

Previous to that Trump asked for Congress to extend the default window for about seven months. That did not happen.

Day One of the Trump administration he begins a narcissistic glory march through the scientific offices and laboratories of the federal government. No rhythm or reason, just because he is having a hissy fit over the looming default window.

The USA Congress needs to get busy enacting additional measures to government costs and reopen vital offices and laboratories. It is also my concern the reason freedom of speech was taken away from US government facilities to communicate with other international partners is most probably because Trump wants to monetize their activity. It is ludicrous because people need Information as another deadly virus is mutating.

As far as I am concerned the Avian Flu vaccines should have been issued with the first case regardless of its minor symptoms. Preventing mutations once a virus finds a new host is carried out with vaccinations and not natural immunity which RFK, Jr. prefers.

So, there will be continued litigation (possibly coming from international partners with unfulfilled contracts and agreements), but, Congress needs to be passing legislation on the heels of executive orders that hurt the people, their jobs, and the American economy.

These are highlights of Trump’s dreamscape speech to Davos. His speeches are basically boisterous noise while everyone who listens (of which I am not one) figures out, “What the heck is going on in the U.S.?”
