TSA agents aren’t getting paid right now and a lot of people are leery of traveling but do you think the Secretary of Transportation (and former Fox News host) is worried? Nah. He’s got bigger fish to fry, like the south pole of the Moon. Yes, that round light in the sky that changes appearance. That’s where Duffy wants us all to go. What’s that you say? What about inflation, the price of groceries, electricity, insurance, and that big whammy, healthcare? Shouldn’t we worry about that first? Not in Duffy world. He’s got better ideas.

And maybe Duffy can sell time shares on the Moon. Did anybody see that TV show Hello Tomorrow? That was a retro-futuristic show about selling time shares on the moon. I liked it personally. Too bad it got canceled after one season. And it fits with the Trump mentality. Just as long as you can build hotels, casinos, vacation this and that, you’re there. You’ve achieved what is important.
This f'en guy doesn't give a 💩 about us!! We have military families on food pantry lines. The food panties are running out of food because the Mother F'er cut the funding..🤬

Um….methinks that there is not universal approval for this brave new world that Secretary Duffy is contemplating. Why doesn’t he talk to Elon Musk? In fact, why don’t the two of them get in a capsule and head on up there now? I, for one, would love it.
But one big thing here: at least Duffy acknowledges we went to the moon in the first place. That’s one small step for sanity, one giant leap for MAGA. Tim Burchett was talking to Tucker Carlson the other day about UFOs (or UAPs, take your pick.) Burchett opined to Carlson that maybe we never went to the moon and Carlson smirked and that was that.
But in Trump world we take our victories where we find them. And oh yes, while we’re still down here on earth, could we swear in that Arizona rep finally and look at the Epstein files? Then all the MAGAs can go to the moon and stay there as long as they like. Works for me.
“What about inflation, the price of groceries, electricity, insurance, and that big whammy, healthcare?”
The transportation sec isn’t responsible for those things.
He’s actually talking long-term – something MAGA aren’t renowned for. So that seems a bit of a weak attack – if the West can get minerals from the Moon making us less reliant on China, surely that’s a good thing?
& Duffy was actually asked about the Moon – he didn’t just pivot there when asked about Epstein!
I have to wonder about these proposals to extract ores from the Moon or Mars, specifically, how are they going to bring these resources to Earth, where they can be effectively refined and put to use in a cost-effective manner? Am I missing something?
