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.

I am going to pass on any presentation this evening. I hope everyone is having a healthy and safe evening. I will tell you that same thing I tell my newsletter every week. 

Be well.

Face masks work.

Social distancing works.

Hand hygiene works.

Thank you for your interest.

Until later.

George Washington didn’t have an outgoing peer.

On January 20, 2021 at 12:00 noon the power of the USA will transfer to the new president. I could not care less if Trump shows up. His absence will prove the USA has indeed been saved from a man that wanted to destroy our democracy. It is a new beginning for the USA.

Russia and the Gun Lobby made quite a team.

It took a team of journalists to cover the mess.

The Radical Right would not have existed without Russia in 2016 and it's cyber warfare. Unfortunately, Americans didn't recognize the warfare, instead, they embraced it and organized.

The Radical Right has no basis in the USA in the coming months and years. They abandoned democracy for power. There is a difference between power and governance and the Radical Right wasn't interested in governance. That was always a part of the Republican Dogma which can be witnessed in McConnell's obstructionist paradigm. But, having averted the loss of democracy, it is time for the Republicans to reject it's radical ideology and embrace democracy and freedom.

Russia wants the violence and radical agenda to continue. It has to end to complete the promise of the election of Joe Biden. The American people, for the most part, are finished with the agenda of victimization of impoverishment while the elite class banks billions. The exploitation by power to continue to oppress Americans that rely on "the vote" as the only power ends with this election. There are no more cronies, there are only Americans. Lobbying is about promoting the good work that companies can offer, but, to have a Senate vote move into the "yes" or "no" column based on election funds received ends now.

If the violence in the USA, which isn't just in DC, continues it will be exploited by Russia and others that see the Biden election as a speed bump. Change in the USA will go forward, there will be affordable health care, there will be good-paying jobs and there will be a huge paradigm shift to end the climate crisis and protect the natural world of the USA as a witness to that promise to future generations.

It is astounding that Georgia is in the column of Democratic win. There is one woman responsible for that and it is Stacy Abrams (click here). She told Georgians they didn't have to accept oppression and poverty anymore. There are only accolades of praise for a woman that easily succeeds as a torch carrier for minorities and women.

Almost as astounding was the rise of the Democrats in Texas. Beto O'Rourke and Wendy Davis took up the mantle of freedom with an astounding result. Texas will turn blue. It is just a matter of time.

These amazing wins and the return home of the industrial Midwest is a dream coming true. There was only one candidate among the many Democrats that could have brought it all home and that is Joe Biden. Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris made the win complete and we all look forward to her independent work as well as being Vep.

There is a great truth that lies before the country and that is CAN WE KEEP this victory center stage to rebuild and reinstitute the Great American Democracy. The victory is sweet. The longing for the USA before the foreign invasion is strong, but, it has to be more than "talk," it has to return in ways of governance that matter to elevate the American people.

The governance of this magnificent country must come first otherwise we will be doomed to a chronic struggle and the justification of the violence we see today. The struggle for civil rights and the end of income inequality has to be a high priority. If this is not honored then Americans are not honored and those obstructing such measures will be facilitating unrest in the USA that will result in another Venezuelan win for Russia. So, those taking power in DC this time MUST first govern and raise the status of the American people or face a very dangerous precipice that continues to imperil our democracy. A continuance of the same old Republican playbook will face problems this coming administration. It will no longer exist in a way that places democracy as a second class citizen. The Plutocracy, which is where Trump came from, will fall. Money is not a citizen.

The American economy is always a focus for governance, ask any Governor. To that end, economic strength will be a focus in Washington, DC. BUT. The first order of business is ending the COVID-19 CRISIS and protecting Americans and the sovereign USA from ever facing such a scourge again. The infrastructure, including scientists in China, has to be made a permanent law so no one can undo it again. Along with vanquishing COVID-19. there must be bills passed into law that will forever prevent such hideousness in the USA.

The violence in the USA is real. It has reasons for existing. Violence can be a vehicle for change. We need to resolve the problems and end the violence once and for all.

There is no such thing as Trumpish that will disappear with his removal, there are minions, of which a QANON member was elected to the US House of Representatives. 

The violence ends and it ends for real reasons and not simply because of a militarized police force. There needs to be gun legislation that honors police and ends their danger as well. It would be nice if the only gun they needed on the streets of the USA were six-shooters that are rarely unholstered other than target practice. When I say America's Great Democracy it means all of it, not just vanquishing COVID-19 and then returning to oppression vs. wealth.

306 Electors vs. 232 Electors (click here)

November 15, 2020
By Marissa J. Long, Michael E. Miller, Peter Jamison, Justin Wm. Moyer, Clarence Williams, Peter Hermann, Fredrick Kunkle and John Woodrow Cox

President Trump’s supporters (click here) had celebrated for hours on Saturday, waving their MAGA flags and blaring “God Bless the U.S.A.” as they gathered in Washington to falsely claim that the election had been stolen from the man they adore. The crowd had even reveled in a personal visit from Trump, who passed by in his motorcade, smiling and waving.

But that was before the people who oppose their hero showed up and the mood shifted, growing angrier as 300 or so counterprotesters delivered a message the president’s most ardent backers were unwilling to hear: The election is over. Trump lost.

On stark display in the nation’s capital were two irreconcilable versions of America, each refusing to accept what the other considered to be undeniable fact.

While much of the day unfolded peacefully, brief but intense clashes erupted throughout. Activists spewed profanity and shouted threats, threw punches and launched bottles. On both sides, people were bloodied, and at least 20 were arrested, including four whose allegiances remain unknown on gun charges. The chaos also left two officers injured....

A lot going on with Flint, Michigan.

Hurley Hospital currently has a 98 percent occupancy rate with COVID-19. The Mayor of Flint needs to limit movement in the city. He should start with a curfew. 

There are also fires being set in an apartment complex since “Angel’s Night.” Angel’s Night occurs on October 30th. It was first developed in Detroit to end the destruction and arson on the night before Halloween. The fires are starting again but this time is Flint. 

The police are investigating but I think the State Bureau of Investigation has a part in this. It is arson. It maybe organized crime. The Flint police are also investigating a stabbing and three shootings.

Flint citizens need to stay indoors as much as possible except for errands. Black Lives Matter and COVID-19 is merciless. Please practice mask wearing, social distancing and hand hygiene. 

Glenn Greenwald had a hissy fit?

To begin with Hunter Biden is not President-Elect. 

Secondly, the best choice for President of the USA which is facing catastrophic health emergencies, a current president that wants to end a health lifeline for millions of Americans and Americans are facing a very dangerous climate crisis. That is only to begin.

President-Elect Biden was the ONLY real choice on the ballot. What is Greenwald ranting on about? The best choice for president has nothing to do with Hunter Biden!

Honestly.

If Greenwald is so obsessed with Hunt Biden and believes there are crimes committed in China, then present the facts.

I remind this is about China. Good luck.

Hunter Biden was brave enough to try to engage commerce in China. When Robert Mullen was able to prove Russia tainted the 2016 elections he traced the GRE digital fingerprints directly into their computers IN RUSSIA. Go ahead, go get evidence.

The laptop in question wasn’t secured for a very long time. It was stored for the purpose of character assassination. It should have been turned over to the FBI a long time ago. At this point it should be returned to the owner.

Did the repairman ever make the money he was hoping to make off it? I don’t remember reading about that part.

Nothing changes the election.

A plumber contractor will be able to speak to the shallow trench in the north lawn. 

Pennsylvania Secretary of State made a mistake.

 It doesn’t change the present vote count.

With such drastically different approaches to ending the infections and deaths of COVID-19 by the outgoing and incoming Executive Branch...

...the dangerous reality of the Electoral College in the time of Citizen's United requires a serious approach to removing the constitutional law with an Amendment to the US Constitution. The process of organizing 501(c)3 and 4 at the state level should begin. It will require an enormous effort to pass a federal constitutional amendment, especially this one, now is a good time to begin. The reality of a viral explosion is too dangerous to ignore.

The Georgia Senate election has never been more important.

The delegates in Philadelphia agreed, (click here) in the summer of 1787, that the new country they were creating would not have a king but rather an elected executive. But they did not agree on how to choose that president.

Pennsylvania delegate James Wilson called the problem of picking a president "in truth, one of the most difficult of all we have to decide." Other delegates, when they later recounted the group’s effort, said "this very subject embarrassed them more than any other – that various systems were proposed, discussed, and rejected."

They were at risk of concluding their meetings without finding a way to pick a leader. In fact, this was the very last thing written into the final draft. Had no agreement been reached, the delegates would not have approved the Constitution.

I am a civics educator who has also run Purdue University’s Constitution Day celebration for 15 years, and one lesson I always return to is the degree to which the founders had to compromise in order to ensure ratification. Selecting the president was one of those compromises....

President-elect hasn't announced COVID-19 prevention measures yet...

...but, the best response may be to reset the initial effort. This would be especially important considering the wintertime explosion of cases.

The USA has reached a ridiculous point in time with this virus, in that some hospitals are allowing symptom-free nurses testing positive for the virus to care for positive patients. That is a hideous thought and yet here we are in the USA doing exactly that. This new reality is a very different place the USA was only a short time ago. It is time to make important decisions. The states should be implementing strict measures as soon as possible ahead of January 20, 2021.

A coronavirus adviser to Joe Biden (click here) has encouraged the president-elect to follow a New Zealand and Australia-style lockdown for four to six weeks as he warned of an approaching "Covid hell".

Dr Michael Osterholm said a US national lockdown may be the best way to limit deaths and new coronavirus infections until a vaccine arrives.

Osterholm, the director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, was appointed on Monday to Biden's 12-member Covid "advisory board".

He said such a lockdown would help the country bring the virus under control, "like they did in New Zealand and Australia".

Osterholm claimed that the US economy will not suffer as a result, if enough money is borrowed to pay wages during the shutdowns.

"We could pay for a package right now to cover all of the wages, lost wages for individual workers for losses to small companies to medium-sized companies or city, state, county governments. We could do all of that," Osterholm told Yahoo Finance. "If we did that, then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks."...

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) (click here) is allowing guests to visit some of its 134 nursing homes and 24 spinal cord injury centers depending on local coronavirus restrictions.

Since mid-March, no outsiders had been permitted to see these residents except for “compassionate cases,” when a veteran is in the last stages of life in hospice.

The VA created safety guidelines for admission to its nursing homes, referred to as community living centers (CLCs), to ensure that veterans are not positive for COVID-19. As of Wednesday, the VA had three active coronavirus cases across all of its nursing homes.

For admission to spinal cord injury and disorder centers, veterans should contact their nearest location to see if new patients are being accepted. All staff members are being screened daily.

As coronavirus deaths nationwide surpassed 238,000 people, the Veterans Affairs medical system — which includes both care homes and health care centers — exceeded 4,200 deaths, an increase of 163 in the past week. Those 4,223 deaths include only veterans diagnosed at VA hospitals and medical centers....

I hope every veteran had a good day today.

 I am sure it wasn't as good as it could be with the reality of all the restrictions on ease of movement and embraces of friendship with our current national health emergency.

Our country exists because of each and every veteran. It is difficult to show the level of thanks such sacrifices deserve. A day of honor will have to do.

Thank you for your service. It is valued beyond any imagination. 

So long as Chief Justice Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh continue to uphold the UNDERSTOOD "Majority Rule" of the USA Constitution the Affordable Care Act will survive Republican politics.

This is a wrongful use of the USA court system. The minority attempted to carry out activist court actions to end the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act was passed into law by bicameral majority legislators in 2009. As McConnell would say, "Elections have consequences." Indeed they do, however, in the case of McConnell and his out of date Republicans in the US Senate those consequences should only apply to the decisions Republicans make. Their politics do not SUPPORT the USA Constitution and this a very good example of it.

I believe it was Chief Justice Roberts who plainly stated, he believed the court action was to impose a legislative activism on the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs wanted judges and justices to destroy a majority supported legislation passed into law within the constitutional processes outlined in the USA Constitution.

That political USE of the courts of the USA is toxic both to the Rule of Law and the politics of the country. When majorities are elected in the USA they have the right and DUTY to carry forward legislation expressing the people's business. When the opposition party attempts to remove a new law, that is Minority Decent and it has no place in a court of law, but, ONLY within the politics of the people. 

The Republicans, when it comes to Obamacare/Affordable Care Act, USED it to win seats over two House and Senate elections and it worked for those two elections. It could be said that nasty attitude toward to affordable health care also allowed Trump to find majorities in states where citizens actually like the ACA. The Republicans staged innumerable attempts to end the ACA in the USA House. I lost count of the number of times. They all were political stunts so their politics were supported at the ballot box. Nothing ever came of those votes.

I might add, FOX News staged most of the political support when attacking the ACA, It was the only real message right wing people would listen to WITHOUT educating the public with EQUALITY of representation in the media. The law already existed and FOX News continually leveraged political demands regarding the ACA in the media. There was no basis for it, but, the POLITICAL TOXICITY, was the product FOX News was looking for, not to correct a real wrong. For the most part, the people of the country have come to love this 11 year old law. But, did that matter to the right wing media? No. They had to use the ACA to some kind of political advantage and the court systems was a means to say, "Republicans can defeat Obamacare." There were even cronies that provided lots and lots of money for Republicans seeking court action to win those cases. Money talks right? Well. Not this time. The Chief Justice and one other conservative judge have found the demand for them to "legislate from the bench" unconstitutional.

I might add, when one looks across the spectrum of those using Obamacare it is the people 400% higher than the poverty line. That is not the wealthy or the Middle Class, but, the class of people struggling the most in the USA to be well and make ends meet. They don't have voices of wealthy lawyers, they have their vote.

The Minority Rule that is a legitimate concern to the courts is about the individual and their rights living within the Majority Rule of the USA Constitution. This case about the ACA isn't it. Understand Warren Burger and his court and then the Individual will come alive in relation to the USA Constitution.

A Minority Rule decision does not destroy the Majority Rule in legislation, but, it allows for important exceptions.

Washington - At least five Supreme Court justices, (click here) including two members of its conservative majority, indicated on Tuesday that they would reject attempts by Republicans and the Trump administration to kill the Affordable Care Act.

It was not clear whether the court would strike down a provision of the act that initially required most Americans to obtain insurance or pay a penalty, a requirement that was rendered toothless in 2017 after Congress zeroed out the penalty. But the bulk of the sprawling 2010 health care law, President Barack Obama’s defining domestic legacy, appeared likely to survive its latest encounter with the court.

Both Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh said striking down the so-called individual mandate did not require the rest of the law to be struck down as well.

“Congress left the rest of the law intact when it lowered the penalty to zero,” Chief Justice Roberts said....

Nitche social environments have become the birth places of the Super Spreader.

When the virus first arrived in the USA it was found to effect families and people like the elderly living in close quarters similar to families. Now that the virus has expanded it's presence in the USA population the same dynamic of people being close in an environment is holding up by studies conducted about Americans. This is an enormous study and cannot be argued with, there is simply too much information.

The COVID-19 pandemic (click here) dramatically changed human mobility patterns, necessitating epidemiological models which capture the effects of changes in mobility on virus spread1. We introduce a metapopulation SEIR model that integrates fine-grained, dynamic mobility networks to simulate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in 10 of the largest US metropolitan statistical areas. Derived from cell phone data, our mobility networks map the hourly movements of 98 million people from neighborhoods (census block groups, or CBGs) to points of interest (POIs) such as restaurants and religious establishments, connecting 57k CBGs to 553k POIs with 5.4 billion hourly edges. We show that by integrating these networks, a relatively simple SEIR model can accurately fit the real case trajectory, despite substantial changes in population behavior over time. Our model predicts that a small minority of “superspreader” POIs account for a large majority of infections and that restricting maximum occupancy at each POI is more effective than uniformly reducing mobility. Our model also correctly predicts higher infection rates among disadvantaged racial and socioeconomic groups2–8 solely from differences in mobility: we find that disadvantaged groups have not been able to reduce mobility as sharply, and that the POIs they visit are more crowded and therefore higher-risk. By capturing who is infected at which locations, our model supports detailed analyses that can inform more effective and equitable policy responses to COVID-19.

What this study says overall is that the USA's trend into super spreading is a choice place for understanding the virus. In other words, the American people are very accommodating in spreading the virus so it can be studied and understood. That is not an admirable quality of this country, it is a third world mentality that provides the social dynamic that Americans value their lives less than work and a good time.

But, the research is not about laughing out loud at Americans, it is conducted to hopefully educate them and have them value their own lives enough to end the dangerous behaviors that provided for this research.

There must be a contraction in activity by Americans in social venues KNOWN to be the sources of super spreader events. Americans are supposed to be smart. This study clearly indicates they are not.

In a study reviewing electronic health records of over 62,000 coronavirus patients in the US revealed legally defined Traumatic Brain Injury from COVID-19.

A traumatic brain injury (click here) is brain dysfunction caused by an outside source. Very simply: damage occurs to the brain, and the brain doesn’t function normally after that. 

We refer to a brain injury caused by an outside source as an acquired brain injury, meaning it happens after birth. To be clear, there are other scenarios that can result in brain damage that don’t come from an outside source. A non-acquired brain injury is a brain injury caused by genetic or hereditary factors, birth trauma, or from a degenerative cause, such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.

Causes can include:

Assault
Sports

MVA
Falls

As well as:

Stroke

Chemo

Virus 

Aneurysm

Carbon monoxide poisoning...

Basically, anything that changes the structure, biochemistry and function of the brain is a traumatic brain injury. That includes the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

In stating there is a changing nature of COVID-19 opens up the idea these NEW discoveries have resulted by a mutation. That is not the case. These symptoms are not so much changing as a discovery. This is new information about the same virus that is causing so many deaths.

The facts are plain, COVID-19 is a coronavirus that has acted as many others have, except, it is much larger than other viruses within that description. It is due to the increased size of SARS-CoV-2 and the trauma to the body's tissue that has resulted in a mind altering and deadly reality.

...The changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic (click here) presents a moving target for clinicians, investigators, readers of medical literature, and the general public. Infection rates in different areas are frequently changing. Additionally, new cases, clinical data, and analytic functionalities are being added to available databases. Conclusions based on any one dataset thus require frequent re-examination and re-interpretation. The recent retraction of articles on COVID-19 based on another database highlights the necessity of data sharing and transparency.

More than 100 years have passed since the worldwide influenza pandemic that resulted in a markedly increased rate of neurological and psychiatric sequelae. Despite great advances in medical science, we are faced with some of the same issues relating to the characterisation of a rapidly changing pandemic occurring in different geopolitical environments. Learning to use new tools, such as electronic medical records efficiently should provide some of the essential information needed to understand and control the psychiatric consequences of this pandemic and plan for future ones. In these efforts, we should keep in mind the words of Sir William Osler that, “the best preparation for tomorrow is to do today's work superbly well.”...

COVID-19 is not only a dangerous virus that drastically shortens longevity, it creates it's own comorbidities.

One of the stipulations to people in educating about SARS-CoV-2 is that if people have comorbidities they have to be extra careful in being exposed to the virus. Here and in other medical findings, it i obvious the virus is not only a struggle for healthy people, it also creates it's own comorbiditites through the course of the disease through the body's immune reaction.

These ACQUIRED comorbidities during the course of the disease may explain why young people are not doing as well as expected and result in deaths even after discharge from the hospital. Heart damage can be a silent killer.

If the USA is to have a sincere two party system that loves the country....

...start a new party. Call it the "Real Republicans" or something. Let's face it the old RNC needs to be fumigated, too. It is amazing how self-absorbed people don't recognize it when their time is long past.

November 10, 2020

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle (click here) are making moves to expand their influence at the Republican National Committee, three GOP sources, including advisers to the President tell CNN. Some sources say they may seek to take over the party structure themselves.

President Donald Trump’s eldest son and his girlfriend, a Trump campaign fundraiser and former Fox News host, have made it clear to campaign and White House officials they are unhappy with RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who they view as not having done enough to win a close race.

Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle could seek leadership roles at the RNC to position the committee for a comeback run for the President in 2024, the sources said.

“Don Jr. and Kimberly have an eye on the RNC, through themselves taking over or somebody close to them taking over,” a well-placed Republican Party source close to the White House said....

Power grabs should never be received well in politics. The campaign trail is a proving ground and service is the proof of a legislator loyal to the USA Constitution with the well being of it's citizens in mind.

All of them should consider self-imposed exile.

The autopsies have begun on Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden, (click here) and a lengthy report by Politico this weekend spotlighted Kimberly Guilfoyle’s role as a fund-raiser, which insiders told the publication was lacking in both discipline and professionalism.

The former Fox News host and one-time first lady of San Francisco is Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend and a senior campaign adviser, who was tasked with being one of the president’s top fundraisers. Under Guilfoyle’s leadership, Trump’s finance team “couldn’t compete with Biden’s small-dollar fundraising machine,” Politico reported.

Not only did Guilfoyle “underperform” in the fundraising job, senior campaign officials told Politico she was “an H.R. nightmare.”

“Some donors were horrified by what they described as Guilfoyle’s lack of professionalism: She frequently joked about her sex life and at one fundraiser, offered a lap dance to the donor who gave the most money,” Politico wrote.

Politico’s report is the latest investigative story to allege that Guilfoyle, 51, talked or acted in sexually suggestive ways in a workplace setting.

In early October, the New Yorker followed up on reporting by HuffPost that described the reasons for Guilfoyle’s abrupt departure from Fox News in June 2018. At the time, the popular explanation for her departure was that she left voluntarily to avoid conflicts of interest posed by her new romance with Trump Jr.

The New Yorker story, by investigative reporter Jane Mayer, suggested that Guilfoyle had to leave because of sexual harassment allegations made by a former assistant in a 42-page draft complaint. According to the allegations, Guilfoyle showed lewd photos of male genitalia to colleagues, regularly discussed sexual matters at work, urged the assistant “to submit to a Fox employee’s demands for sexual favors,” and exposed herself to the assistant and asked for a critique of her naked body.

The story furthermore described efforts by Guilfoyle to cover up the allegations, citing well-informed sources who said the network paid the former assistant up to $4 million to avoid a trial.

In response, Guilfoyle issued a statement saying, “In my 30-year career working for the SF District Attorney’s Office, the LA District Attorney’s Office, in media and in politics, I have never engaged in any workplace misconduct of any kind.”...

Putin is advising Trump

Trump is placing loyalists in the military during the Lame Duck to create Venezuela. That was the plan all along for his re-election failure.

It is called a military coup. Esper needs to stay exactly where he is in the face of treason. There is a military solution for this, it is called a Court Marshall. Do it now.

It is also why Trump built that ugly wall around the White House. It is a fortress that removed the view of the building from public view. The Secret Service needs to stand down for the arrest and removal of Trump by the military.

Don’t live in denial. This is real.

Pence needs to take the presidency.

White House employees need to leave and all supplies are to stop going in. Turn off water and electric. Make the White House Trump’s prison until he steps down. Station guards.

Don’t allow hostages. The Secret Service can secure any limited amounts of munitions in the White House. Trump will not be provided a helicopter beginning now. He is to surrender to the military police. He will not leave the White House by Limo or the Presidential car. He is to be arrested by military police. 

It is Putin’s Pipe Dream.

There will be no changing in the cabinet between now and January 20th. The US Senate will confirm no one. Espers and everyone else will remain in their office until the Biden administration is in place. Transition will go forward now.

Biden needs to consider placing experienced people from the Obama White House in his cabinet for at least the first year or two. I believe the practice of the past two administrations was to keep current DOD and/or Homeland Security for at least a year for the purpose of national security. All these changes by Trump is a breach of protocols and precedent since September 11, 2001. Department heads for the FBI and CIA will remain and meet regularly with the President-Elect Biden.

No one knows the land mines Trump has placed throughout the government, but, experienced cabinet secretaries will know. They can be expeditious. 

The USA, NATO and allies should consider themselves in conflict with Russia without military confrontation. I sincerely question China’s involvement, but, without evidence the only thing China is guilty of is attempts to extend sovereign borders. The USA military needs to be on alert throughout its expanse. 

Putin so much wanted to command the USA military for his own purposes. I don’t think so.

If Republicans don’t accept Biden...

 ...the man that came forward to protect our democracy from Russia, there are a lot of implications in that including the same reason Dems were trying to beat McConnell with one of its best candidates. They are plutocrats and White Supremacists to the core and are a threat to this country.

The Plutocracy pays for Republicans and violent White Supremacists vote for them. That is the way it has been for the elections of modern day. McCain was not one of them. They are a threat to national security and now thanks to Trump we know exactly how much of a threat. This is not about ideology anymore. It is about sovereignty.

Joe Biden was the black man’s Vice President and President to a wonderful black woman Vice President. Need I say more?

Dead serious. Bannon’s threats were real and on his wish list. Stop living in denial of the enemy from within.

The Playbook starts with a repeat of FOX News running game starting immediately after Barak Obama took office and using healthcare as a fear tactic to take back the US House. If the Republicans have the Senate and the House they will impeach until the Republican majority of the US House has removed Biden and Harris so the Speaker takes the presidency. Ryan is on the board at FOX News.

This is hate, not politics.

This is theocracy, not democracy.

They invested heavily for decades and lost. They’re reloading not accepting. This is one of the greatest moments in USA history and they hate it.
