While the domestic USA spins out of control, the climate crisis hasn't taken a break.

I never know where to begin these days. There is too much of life that has been turned upside down for Americans. The country is clearly turbulent.

The incidents of SARS-CoV-2 are still to high. There are businesses going out of business and I can't believe the USA is still floundering.

The USA is also floundering internationally. The UN Security Council has rejected the demand by Trump to once again place sanctions on Iran. (click here). How many Americans knew Kim Jong Un is in a coma? There goes Trump's bid for the Nobel Peace Prize.

A South Korean diplomat (click here) has claimed Kim Jong-un is in a coma and his sister is set to take charge of North Korea.

Chang Song-min, an ex-aide to late-South Korean president Kim Dae-jung, claimed North Korea is hiding the truth about its leader's deteriorating health and that he understands the dictator is in a comatose state.

Speaking with local media, Chang Song-min said: "I assess him to be in a coma, but his life has not ended."

He said Kim's sister, Kim Yo-jong, is now ready to take over as the hermit state's new supreme leader....

And the voting is being mishandled. This in Michigan is a good example. The ballots are making it through the mail, but, when they make their destination there is a lot of mischief.

Lansing - All four members (click here) of the State Board of Canvassers on Friday blasted problems with counting ballots in Detroit's primary election as "alarming" and "concerning," and one asked whether Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson should intervene this fall.

"I think we need an investigation with a conclusion that somebody else is going to run that election or not," said Norm Shinkle, one of two Republicans on the board that's in charge of certifying statewide election results.

The criticism came a day after The Detroit News reported Wayne County election data that showed 72 percent of the absentee voting precincts in Michigan's largest city had ballot counters that were out of balance by at least one vote for the Aug. 4. primary. That means the number of voters tracked in precinct poll books did not match the number of ballots counted....

One voter is important. Elections these days are very tight because of increased spending on ads.
