Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

    At first, I thought you were stuffing in all the forbidden phrases. I am a disappoint.

    The original Romans got a sense of entitlement, becoming unused to the hard life. They got diversity, bringing in all sorts of people who didn't share Roman values. Rome became vulnerable and fell, standing as precedent from which to make evidence-based assertions about the dangers of immigration and acceptance of murdering fetuses, transgender rights, and science-based thinking. MAIA!
