I am so sad for what is happening to my beloved United States of America under president Donald Trump. He is destroying our nation by destroying our institutions of government.
Most insidious is his implanting in the various federal government agencies leaders who (a) do not believe that what that agency does should be done by the federal government at all and (b) do not believe that there is global climate change nor that human activities are a significant contributor to that.
The latest example is his nomination to head the National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA), Jim Bridenstine, member of the US House of Representatives from Oklahoma. Bridenstine reportedly has no scientific credentials whatsoever and has gone on record as saying that he doubts that human activity has contributed to climate change.
But he has "repeatedly expressed a passion for space exploration". And he was reportedly the executive director of the Air & Space Museum & Planetarium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
If Rep. Bridenstine were to be confirmed in this appointment, I will feel sorry for the many scientists and mathematicians at NASA involved in orbital calculations when they hear from the front office that the Earth is flat.
#KAGA - Keep American great, already. Eh?
Best regards,
Doug
