Delaney is a conservative. He is running on the trade issue because it is money. It attracts Wall Street.

What is his ANSWER for health care?

Milwaukee is correct in alerting to the dangers of vaping.

Quite frankly the country should put a moratorium on vaping until the lung disease that is erupting is completely understood. Vaping needs to be regulated and the same restrictions as cigarettes. 

When vaping is outlawed there will be an increase in cigarette use, but, there are options for nicotine that is safe and no affiliated with cigarettes.

I have been worried that something like this would occur. There isn't enough known about vaping for anyone to believe it is 100 percent safe.

The mechanism of vaping is not the same as cigarettes. it is not a passive process. I think it dehydrates lung tissue. I think it also adds pressure to the alveoli that it cannot withstand. Basically, I believe it is destroying lung tissue.

PROVE ME WRONG!

The city of Milwaukee (click here) issued a health alert Wednesday urging residents to stop vaping"immediately," after at least 16 people were hospitalized with severe lung disease this month.

The individuals all reported using vape products or dabbing -- which is the vaping of marijuana oils, extracts or concentrates -- in the weeks and months prior to being hospitalized. They were diagnosed with severe chemical pneumonia, an inflammation of the lungs due to aspirating or inhaling of irritants, according to a press release from the city's health department. The specific products used were unknown.

Milwaukee's health commissioner, Dr. Jeanette Kowalik, said she is "committed to protecting the public from the dangers of secondhand exposure" to vaping devices or electronic cigarettes.

“We continue to learn more about the health effects associated with e-cigarettes," Kowalik said in a statement Wednesday....

Brazil’s government is banning most legal fires, (click here) used for land-clearing, for at least 60 days in the wake of the massive blazes that ravaged the Amazon rainforest, according to a new report.

An official decree published Thursday prohibited the fires, typically set during the country’s dry season, Fox News reported.

Currently, farmers and others are allowed to set some fires as long as they have licenses from environmental authorities, the country’s forest code states.

This year, however, there’s been a 77 percent uptick in fires compared to the same period last year — a total of 83,000 blazes, the network reported, citing data from the National Institute for Space Research....
The aspect no one is addressing is the fact these children are MEDICALLY STABLE. That is because they are being cared for by American doctors, hospitals, nurses and surgeons. These children sometimes 'slip' off their wellness. That means they are taken to the ER or the MD's office for emergency attention to return their stability. 

It is cruel to bring these children to wellness and STABILITY with a loving family and simply look at them and say, "But, they seem fine to me," and send them to countries that cannot provide their care or even come close.

This is a humanitarian crisis for these children and they must remain in the USA to remain MEDICALLY STABLE to go forward to learn and quality of life and life itself.

The quality of life of these children is due to their stability. Part of the quality of life of children is attending school and seeing other children. These activities will not be possible when they return to their chronic conditions that could even lead to their death. 
American farmers need to rely on the American people to find a market. That might mean changing crops that are marketable to No GMO markets.

The other option is to market to allies, especially Mexico. NAFTA is still in force, so farmers could look to their own resourcefulness and bring on their own commodity brokers to move their crops. Brokers can be found within the trucking industry, especially the independents. The Brokers may be able to bring suppliers and customers together.

Set up a resource website that farmers can list their crops and what is in their silos. A broker can then log into the site and link demand to supplies. It might mean working with truckers to move the crop, but, self-reliance is what farming is all about.
Dorian has a lot of loft. That is a powerful eye consolidating energy. That is a really strong storm. The people anywhere in the "cone of uncertainty" needs to leave. 

NOW!

It is a holiday weekend. The traffic is going to be terrible and it is about to get worse. Get off the Florida peninsula for at least the next 3 to 4 days. The state needs to open southbound lanes to northbound traffic if the traffic proves to be a standstill and/or hazardous to itself.

The storm will bring flooding. They need to be well above sea level. The rivers will swell from the approaching storm surge. They should be no less than 30 feet above sea level. Andrew and Katrina were pushing a 20 foot storm surge when they made landfall. In the case of Katrina that storm surge killed at least 1833 in the year 2005.

It is foolish to stay.

The majority of Florida has not experienced a Category 4 storm. Andrew was very south and Katrina was a category one when it passed over Florida. Hurricane Irma did not hit Florida directly off the Atlantic Ocean. A category 5 storm winds are 157 mph or higher. A category 4 storm winds are 130 to 156 mph. Irma hit Florida with maximum sustained winds of 112 mph which is a low category 3. The Keys were hit with higher winds of 150 to 160 and they were devastated.

"Experienced Residents" should not overestimate their ability to ride out this storm.

Kindly recall the RAINS begin at the periphery and not with the eye's landfall. Some of these storms have been huge with diameters 500 miles across or more. Please don't concentrate on the landfall of the "eye" as a definitive "time of day" to be the most prepared for the storm. Kindly remind people the PERIPHERAL RAINS can arrive an entire day or half a day before the eye and in that torrential rains will cause flooding long before the eye arrives. 

Good luck!

These laws allow a armed homeowner too much authority with their gun.

I have no doubt these teens could have been planning to steal a car. At no time did the homeowner state they were a threat to his life. He defended a car. A car. Sorry, these laws go too far. Regardless of the lawlessness of the teens' intentions I value life more than a car.

Columbus - Ohio House Republicans (click here) are kicking off “lame-duck” session this week with a final round of challenges to outgoing Gov. John Kasich on guns and abortion.

By a 64-26, mostly party-line vote Wednesday, the Ohio House passed a GOP-sponsored “stand your ground” bill that eliminates any “duty to retreat” before using force in self-defense, shifts the burden of proof to the state in self-defense cases, and loosens a number of Ohio gun-control rules – including allowing individuals to challenge local gun-control ordinances in court....

Two 17-year-olds were fatally shot by a man in Dayton, Ohio, (click here) on Wednesday after they allegedly trespassed on his property, authorities said.

The man that killed two teenagers could call the police after the fact, but, not before. 

The man called 911 at about 9:30 p.m. to report that he had shot two people who were in or near his garage, according to the Dayton Police Department. The unidentified resident of the home said he saw a light from that area of the property and encountered three people inside his car in the garage.

He became alarmed BEFORE it approached the garage. There was plenty of time to call the police about his alarm and then walk to the garage with his pistol. The police no doubt would have told him to remain in the house and they were being dispatched to a potentially dangerous situation.

He then fired a .38 caliber revolver, which killed two of the three people. The Montgomery County Coroner's Office identified them as teenagers Devin Henderson and Javier Harrison.

The third person in the car was arrested on a breaking and entering charge.

The man who shot the teens was taken into custody for questioning and then released. He was not immediately charged with any crime.

Police said Thursday that they were consulting with prosecutors, as recent changes to Ohio law places the burden of proof for cases of self-defense on the state....

South Korea may be seeing a longer sentence for their impeached president.

2019-8-29

Seoul - South Korea's top court (click here) on Thursday ordered the review of the appellate court's rulings on the bribery case of impeached and ousted President Park Geun-hye, involving Park's longtime friend Choi Soon-sil and Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong.

The Supreme Court returned the case to the appeals court, saying the bribery case, involving Park, should be ruled separately from other charges, including abuse of power and coercion, under the election law.

The separate rulings raise a possibility for the impeached president to face a heavier punishment.

Park was sentenced to 25 years in prison and fined 20 billion won (17 million US dollars) in August last year by an appeals court, which raised the lower court's sentence of the 24-year imprisonment....

...The corruption scandal disclosed the country's inveterate collusive ties between politicians and businessmen, under which large conglomerates grew rapidly but distorted order of the market economy, eventually causing loss to the entire economy.

All the defendants did not appear in court for the rulings. Park refused to attend any court hearings since October 2017, calling the trial a political revenge.

Park was impeached by lawmakers in December 2016. The Constitutional Court upheld the parliament's decision in March 2017, making her the first South Korean leader to be impeached by the National Assembly.
Florida has been through a huge storm that straddled the state. There is a fairly good chance Dorian will stall.

This is an ocean temperature map. The temperature on the east and west side of Florida is nearly the same.

From a warming perspective, it would be better to have Dorian enter the Gulf and contain the heat it carries to an already warmed body of water, however, with a couple of vortexes in the northeast and north-central of North America it may find stability on the east coast.

There is also a cold air mass north of the USA decending to some extent that may push Dorian into a stalled profile.

The vortexes are heat transfer systems and like to carry hot air northward, however, Dorian is over hot water and will increase it's velocity, setting up a separation from the northeast vortex and will spin alone below a denser cold air mass north.

It is the fourth named storm of the 2019 Atlantic season, HOWEVER, it is the first major storm that is actually carrying water vapor into a dry troposphere. Realizing this has been the status quo for the last few years, there is a far better than 50% chance Dorian will stall and deliver plenty of warm water to Florida.

Dorian will probably remain a category four as it approaches the Florida coast. After a stalled deposition of water vapor over or near Florida, there is a remote chance it will move northeast in cooperation of the two vortexes that exist now.

That is a very sketchy presentation at this point, but, these climate crisis storms are water loving and become puny once they reach land. The WATER DENSITY brought to the troposphere by Dorian will determine it's final track. Basically, Dorian is depositing water vapor into the troposphere and creating it's own path. As the water vapor increases in the troposphere around Dorian the storm will become more stable especially considering there is nothing but perfect OCEAN TEMPERATURE conditions for stalled storms.

THE DIAMETER of Dorian. As it increases the storm becomes more stable and stalled.

That is probably clear as mud. 

Florida and the east coast up to the Chesapeake Bay needs to pay attention.
