_{Janky vs.The Code vs. The Flu}

_{This morning, I was quickly overtaken by three stories:}

● _{Michele Obama receiving criticism for describing current state of affairs as a “janky” period?}

● _{Trump’s request to have the Nuclear Code?}

● _{And, learning today the Trump administration is stopping mandatory flu vaccines for the U.S. military?}

_{As regards Michelle Obama’s remark, I also find everything coming out of Washington these days to be “janky.”}

_{True, I had to look up the word. But it’s more or less what I would imagine:} 

_{From Google: “It often implies that an object is shaky, faulty, or a ‘cobbled together, makeshift solution. Common examples include broken technology, rundown cars, or poor-quality, unreliable items. Synonyms include shoddy, sketchy, junky, shaky, or flimsy.”}

_{Now, thanks to Michelle Obama, I have a nifty, new word to describe current affairs.}

_{Moving on, as a child of the Cold War era, nothing can be more  horrifying than The Code falling into the President’s hands—any president. But especially this president and his janky administration.}

_{Moving on to flu  vaccines. Secretary Hegseth says the removal of mandated vaccines is a means of democratizing the individual military experience.}

_{Is that really what we need for the military? Sure, if there’s medical reason to forgo the shot, I’m sure there’s always been provision for an exception there.}

_{So what is it the secretary has really accomplished?}

_{Janky, janky , janky.}
