Madonna issued a blistering rebuke of Donald Trump after he moved to end the United States' official acknowledgement of World AIDS Day, a global day of remembrance and awareness recognized every year since 1988.
On Monday, the singer and prominent LGBTQ+ ally, 67, took to Instagram with a solemn black-and-white video and a series of stark text slides, slamming Trump's directive as 'ridiculous,' 'absurd,' and 'unthinkable' while urging her fans to continue honoring those affected by HIV/AIDS.
'Today is World AIDS Day. For four decades, this day has been internationally recognized around the world by people from all walks of life, because millions of people's lives have been touched by the HIV crisis,' she wrote. 'People have lost lovers and husbands and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends and mothers and daughters and children to this deadly disease, of which there is still no cure.'
The singer then turned her fury toward Trump after reports surfaced that the State Department instructed employees and grantees not to publicly commemorate the day, including on social media, speeches, or other public-facing messaging.
The internal memo, viewed by The New York Times, advised government staff to 'refrain from messaging on any commemorative days, including World AIDS Day.
'Donald Trump has announced that World AIDS Day should no longer be acknowledged,' she wrote in a sharply worded post. 'It's one thing to order federal agents to refrain from commemorating this day, but to ask the general public to pretend it never happened is ridiculous, it's absurd, it's unthinkable.'
She added a deeply personal reflection, recalling the trauma of watching someone she loved succumb to the disease.

‘People have lost lovers and husbands and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends and mothers and daughters and children to this deadly disease, of which there is still no cure.’ There IS a cure;they are just not interested in that particular cure.

You can bet that the military that will go along with that will never pose a threat to its Deep State.
Deep States’ frontmen are idiots.
The people hiding behind them are not.

I wonder if Madonna is still thinking about blowing up the White House (as she infamously proclaimed on Jan 21, 2017).

The reason that this worn-out old mattress is so up in arms about the cutting of AIDS funding is because she slept around with any man with a pulse well into her 50s (before she massacred her face with bad plastic surgery).

Re: Post 13
Yes, San Francisco police and health department officials knew AIDS was spreading quickly through gay bath houses and clubs but caved under pressure and didn't shut them down.
Instead of shutting down the gay bath houses and clubs, politicians, "advocates" and the propaganda media blamed everything other than sex with infected strangers.
This was in contrast to protecting the public such as with the Golden Square cholera outbreak in London in 1854, where John Snow correctly linked the outbreak to water from the well at Broad Street and Cambridge Street and successfully petitioned the authorities to disable the pump by removing its handle.
