Matt Spraker Mark Cuban Absolutely. Anyone but Mukkamala. Bet Cuban doesn’t think prepubertal hormone blockers are “completely reservable” like the current president of AMA, Mukkamala, has stated. With folks like that at the helm, the AMA is no longer credible. Ideological capture is real. And for the
The Kennedy Center was named after my uncle, President John F Kennedy. It was named in his honor. He was a man who was interested in the arts, interested in culture, interested in education, language, history. He brought the arts into the White House, and he and my Aunt Jackie
