Corruption. Finally, the American people can see for themselves how Republican corruption works.

The General Services Administration (GSA) (click here) official who is holding up the transition of President-elect Joe Biden has a long history of pro-Trump partisanship, a former government ethics director said.

Walter Shaub Jr., who was the director of the US Office of Government Ethics between 2013 and 2017, accused GSA's head, Emily Murphy, of seemingly "putting her loyalty to Trump over her duty to the American people" in a scathing article for The New York Review of Books.

Murphy, an appointee of President Donald Trump, is the GSA official charged with formally recognizing the victor in a US presidential election, which allows a formal transition process to begin....

So, let me see if I get this right. An appointee to a powerful agency such as the General Services Administration has the influence to help a desperate president. So, breaking the law is nothing, the USA Rule of Law is nothing, ethics is nothing, but, the only thing that is important is THE PARTY. In breaking the law, such an appointee is rewarded for breaking the law by being given a better job in a Republican lead company. 

Did I get that right? 

There is no Rule of Law for Republicans, there is just power and how well it is USED to obtain what Republicans want. 

Right? 

Wow. I think we have finally been able to plainly see how Republican corruption works. The same corruption that brought a Russian oligarch to Kentucky. The same corruption that is being counted on in Georgia by Lindsey Graham to throw "the vote" of the people out to give Trump an illegal victory.

This is the Republican Party. They have ethical standards, they have no respect for the Rule of Law and the sure as heck have no respect for the American people.

Here it is. It could not be plainer. The people don't matter. The vote doesn't matter. The ONLY thing that matters is that Republicans maintain power so they can pass laws or obstruct laws that benefit their cronies that will no doubt provide the job to Emily Murphy when she obstructs the lawful passage of the presidency to the Honorable President-Elect Joe Biden. 

Here it is staring directly at every American in the face. Emily Murphy is invested in her own purposes and not that of the demands by the people of the USA for the job she currently holds.

When does it end, never? The Republicans are to hold power over the head of honest Americans, their health, well being, and choice for the president forever. I don't think so. This corruption and law-breaking need to end and end now!

Joseph Biden does not need a transition into the White House. He is capable on day one. That is what is so remarkable about this election. There was absolutely no one that was better qualified and ready in the way necessary for the presidency of the USA than the Former Vice President and President-Elect Joe Biden. If he transitioned with Trump, it would have been more of a problem than if he just takes the office on January 20th.

I am not worried. 

Joe is ready. 

Joe is more ready for the presidency than Trump could ever be, even as he serves his final days.

Wilmington - President-elect Joe Biden (click here) on Monday outlined his plans to alleviate economic inequality and boost the U.S. economy but said any structural reforms depend first on reining in the coronavirus pandemic.

“Once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief to workers and businesses, then we can start to build back better than before," Biden said during remarks in Wilmington, Delaware.,,,

Donal John Trump has no distribution strategy. He only believes in capitalism and that will dictate the distribution and availability, Trump’s administration is incapable of compassion to any American. More deaths are just is what it is.

Joe Biden needs to set up vaccine distribution now if he can. There is no transition for a reason.

The ACA was supposed to be cancelled by now. There are no plans for every American to receive a vaccine. There is no law requiring it.

The vaccine may not be applied to injection methods of the USA military. The METHOD of injection and the mechanism used for these new vaccines may be very specific. The company needs to specify the method of injection. There is no playing with this.

Joe is the taking over a disassembled government.

McConnell needs to be ready to serve the people. Obstruction is not an option.

Kindly remember...

 ...SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted by the very wet eye. People that wear corrective lens for their eyesight already have a layer of protection with those glasses. The glasses need to be cleaned regularly but they are a form of protection.

For those that don't wear corrective eyeglasses, there are fashion glasses and/or fairly inexpensive face shields.

Face shields have various types as well. I saw some people at a Catholic Mass ceremony wearing this with a pivot at the top. This enabled them to raise the face shield at the time of communion while social distancing. So, there are all kinds of protections for the eyes and this is just one type.

No one is laughing. Any place I found myself face coverings were taken seriously. Sometimes people will advise each other if noticed that a face mask is not covering the nose for example. This is all very serious health protection.

The face shield to the right has a hair cover, too. (click here)

No endorsement, just an example.

Those administering the vaccine (giving the shot) need to be responsible for STORAGE TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS.

Those administering the vaccine will have the greatest investment in proper storage. The security around the storage temperatures should receive a high priority. This is a new type of vaccine-derived with techniques used with mRNA. It will be important to protect every drop of the vaccine produced. That includes the production plants.

Wall Street is going crazy as to which company will be the jewel of all jewels when it comes to these vaccines. It only shows how completely foolish investment agencies and banks are when it comes to understanding governance. They aren't capable of governance, but, only greed.

The fact of the matter is every company that produces a viable vaccine will be important. There is no one particular company that has the inside track. I held Moderna as a special case because it is, that doesn't mean other companies aren't going to have very viable solutions as well. Moderna is a breakthrough company and it's future, like it's past, is going to be highly important to the wellness of people. I am more than thrilled this company has succeeded. 

This is a time when every company has put forward it's best effort. They are all needed. We have seen some vaccines with adverse results, that doesn't mean a very good vaccine will not be discovered and effective.

I would encourage every company currently involved in vaccine discovery to continue on this path into their future. They have embarked on a principle that protects human life and they do not know exactly where their scientists will take them. I would expect every viable vaccine to be marketed successfully and distributed with great success to people. There are nearly eight billion people in the world today. That is a lot of vaccine and we MUST ELIMINATE this virus from the face of Earth. Don't stop now!

Moderna (click here) is the second company to report preliminary results from a large trial testing a vaccine. But there are still months to go before it will be widely available to the public.

The drugmaker Moderna announced on Monday that its coronavirus vaccine was 94.5 percent effective, based on an early look at the results from its large, continuing study.

Researchers said the results were better than they had dared to imagine. But the vaccine will not be widely available for months, probably not until spring.

Moderna is the second company to report preliminary data on an apparently successful vaccine, offering hope in a surging pandemic that has infected more than 53 million people worldwide and killed more than 1.2 million. Pfizer, in collaboration with BioNTech, was the first, reporting one week ago that its vaccine was more than 90 percent effective.

The need is urgent. U.S. cases are soaring, setting new records every day. There have been more than 11 million cases and 246,000 deaths. The disease is killing more than 1,100 Americans a day, and the last million cases occurred in just six days. Some states and cities are reinstating lockdowns, restricting gatherings and closing schools once again....

The Chinese "Tik Tok" is used for Opposition Research.

Russia has tried to mimic USA's power within it's society for a long time. Putin has tried just about everything, so what is left is to control society through cyberwarfare.

China is more about the economy and how to control the USA economy and/or mimic it enough to outperform the USA economy and instill Chinese currency as the world standard.

No matter how one looks at Tik Tok it is about information. That information is readily available to anyone that cares to seek it out. The bigger issue is that in order to use the app there is a cost to be paid and that is true for any online service. The service has the right to obtain whatever information it can to use for its own purposes. 

Tik Tok is a Chinese product. Remove it from whatever electronic device it is on in the USA. If Europe allows it then remove it there as well. There was supposed to be a deadline to allow Tik Tok into the USA, but, the spineless administration of Trump never carried through with it. It must be service his purpose as well. That alone is a reason to remove it from any personal electronic devices.

It is amazing to realize Edward Snowden is banished from the USA to Russia, only to realize Tik Tok has taken over. All that scandal on Wiki has no basis in legal courts since the American people decided Tik Tok can have whatever information it wants. Amazing. Simple ignorance and what the USA government wants from them doesn't amount to anything close to what China gets from Americans every day.

The Trump administration (click here) was set to ban TikTok, the wildly popular Chinese-owned mobile phone application, until Friday when the short-form video service was granted a two-week reprieve by the U.S. government to find an American buyer. That means TikTok will keep running on 100 million American devices.

And that's been the administration's worry, claiming that TikTok, "Automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users… potentially allowing China to track the locations of federal employees… conduct corporate espionage" or even "blackmail." President-elect Biden has called the Chinese-owned app "a matter of genuine concern." TikTok says that's all "unfounded," that it's a platform for creativity and free expression. So we wanted to know if TikTok is merely a pawn in the great power rivalry between the U.S. and China, or a genuine threat....

With things as they are with the US Post Office...

 ...shop and ship very early. 

Happy Holidays.
