Trump endorses self-funded candidates

Donald John Trump is using all available campaign funds, including small money donors contributions, for his legal woes. So, as that very “needy” candidate he decided he could endorse self-funding candidates down ballot.

There is something like 2 dozen wealthy self-funded Republicans running for the U.S. Senate and House.

This is the second attempt at the U.S. Senate by Moreno. He is still self-funded to some extent. He finds having donors helpful for participants in his election.

Senator Sherrod Brown is a candidate that connects with people, especially his constituents. I think Sherrod’s genuine concern for people, including hard working farmers, will show through in his campaign and work as Ohio’s Senator.

Gaza

The USA State Department is on a sustainable track to end the conflict with a good outcome for the security of Israel and the Palestinian people.

Gaza cannot be allowed to be a platform for terrorist networks. Iran needs to start appreciating human life, including their own citizens who want nothing more than quality of life and peace. Iran’s focus of global dominance of the Shi’ites is completely bizarre and unrealistic. 

“We will take less.”

That is exactly correct and why inflation is out of control. A business is not just about profit taking. A business also has to operate in appreciation of its employees.

Labor is an expense and because the pay rate increases doesn’t mean the consumer automatically receives an increase in costs. Where do business owners stop practicing greed so much as viability. When a business owner experiences cost increases that does not give permission to pass it on to the consumer.

It is called an economy, not an exorbitant profits practice. Honestly, where is this strange permission for a power grab over consumer costs come from? Hasn’t it gone on long enough?

What is also interesting in this article is that the owner didn’t bother to look for other methods of cost reduction until the wages went up. That is an example of poor and possibly lazy b management that could have afforded the wage increase sooner than was legislated.

Employees should not be reliant on “tipping” for their most reliable income. Tipping is a practice for good or superior effort in attending to customers. Tipping is earned and not simply granted automatically by an employer as part of an employee’s wage.

Thank you.

I never thought I would be saying this, but, thank you Les Parnas.

His testimony is spot on regarding the involvement of any Biden. The “Biden Presence” in Ukraine was at a time before it belonged to the EU and it was knee deep in Russian corruption of its government and society. 

Thanks to the work of the Bidens, Ukraine reclaimed it’s democracy that unfortunately was once again victimized by Russia only this time with far more deadly consequences. 

What is occurring in Ukraine is criminal and a complete affront to humanity. Putin’s response to his crimes against humanity is to maneuver an acceptance of it by calling it a peace conference. In all honesty, peace in Ukraine probably will never occur until Putin is gone. The unfortunate truth about the war theater is that Russia on occasion captures Free World military munitions like an Abrams tank. 

Ukraine is problematic. It needs to develop its own military industrial complex even if that means production plants in NATO. Ukraine is capable of its own invention.

One question. Just one.

Why was the topic of “cash” such a focus in the Georgia Trump corruption case?

Don’t know?

Answer: Because the pandemic made cash a reason to worry about disease transmission AND because Trump has none.

Social Security Retirement

There is absolutely no proof that the longevity of Americans reflects the idea the retirement age for Social Security can be raised is even possible!

Longevity and the ability of work are not related! Quite the contrary!

Cutting benefits of ANY Social Security recipient is out of the question. Some Americans were in more demand for their work and found themselves working two jobs while sacrificing family and vacation life. Every recipient EARNED their benefits and have the RIGHT to receive them. Taking away Social Security benefits from Americans is nothing short of ROBBERY!

Americans have a right to rest and enjoyment in their Golden Years and no politician has a right to attack THAT PROMISE. There are filthy wealthy people and companies in this country that need to pay more taxes for the benefit of the wealth called “freedom” ensured by this country and its military. 

Bobwhite Quail

A decade long challenge has reached its goal in Pennsylvania. To understand this accomplishment, it is astounding to realize a game bird absolutely disappeared out of its range in Pennsylvania. There were no conservation measures to protect this game bird because they were abundant in numbers. Then one day, due to over hunting and habitat loss, there were none.

Congratulations, Pennsylvania.

Personal interests of Republicans come first.

Beside the crony capitalism, the Republicans are enamored with Trump because of “the guilty” among them. There are Republican Congresspersons that can be indicted for the  January 6, 2021 attempted coup. There are heroes of the day such as Former Vice President Mike Pence, but, there are others guilty of supporting the attempted coup such as Hawley. “The Party” is running scared and want majorities in all branches to change the face of American democracy for their own reasons and not the benevolent purposes of the American people.

I would encourage anyone interested to witness the work that has been carried out at the Fukushima Daiichi Plant since the tsunami. It appears to be well organized to provide protection from any repeat catastrophe. Worker safety appears to be high on the list of priorities. I may be wrong, but, I find the radiation containment of even the remaining original structures impressive. The company continues its reclamation of areas still in disarray with melted fuel rods and infrastructure.
