Estranged Americans

There are Americans within the borders of the USA that are estranged from their democracy. This is a purposeful estangement to benefit a disgraced former president.

There have always been differences between political parties in the USA, but, this is different. This is an extremist wing of a once trusted Republican Party. The new estrangement of Americans is sustained by the promise of a majority of Republicans in 2022 and then re-election of the disgraced president in 2024. This estangement isn't even based in disappointed politics, it is based in violence.

It is getting scary and this estrangement force likes that idea of "being scared." "Where is your gun?", because, the political figures engaged in this estrangement believes strongly there needs to be a civil war that ends the USA Constitution. The estranging force is racism and has been engaged in larger and growing measure since the election of 2000 that lead to the ultimate defeat of "The Voting Rights Act of 1965." Now, today, after the Supreme Court declaring money as a citizen our democracy is hanging in the balance. If on January 6th the gallows at the US Capitol had no other meaning, it certainly symbolized the desire of the crowd to hang the USA Constitution an kill it to its very roots. 

The picture above says it all. The democracy was assaulted on January 6th  by the very Americans that are estranged from the democracy for the purpose of obtaining the power of this government and economy. The USA has enormous power and that is what is at stake come 2022 and 2024. The people involved in this estrangement exercise are very guilty of turning against this USA Constitution.

Americans are being lead in the wrong direction by very powerful people. They are lead to believe if they stub their toe on the way to pay their taxes it is the government's fault and there should be insurrection and revolt. That is not a matter of choice, although they believe it is. There will be no revolt of the USA Constitution. I mean give me a break. Even the Christmas decorations are hated. This is an assault against the dignity of the people of this country and it is a crime against the US Constitution.

There goes FOX one more time, using disgusting analogies rather than facts.

FOX doesn't have facts to back up their propaganda, so they find a disgusting analogy in order to carry their estranged viewership.

Fox Nation anchor Lara Logan (click here) has compared Dr Anthony Fauci to infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele while complaining about Covid measures impacting rights and economy.

“This is what people say to me: that he [Dr Fauci] doesn’t represent science to them, he represents Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the second world war in the concentration camps,” Ms Logan said on Fox News on Monday.

She added that “people all across the world are saying this,” without qualifying her comment with examples or proof. Josef Mengele was dubbed the “Angel of Death” for his deadly experiments on prisoners during the Holocaust at the Auschwitz concentration camp....

Rihanna has received a distinction of honor in Barbados. Very special.

During the ceremony (click here) applause rang out in National Heroes Square in the capital Bridgetown, when Dame Sandra was sworn in by chief justice Sir Marston Gibson and announced as “Her Excellency Dame Sandra Prunella Mason President of Barbados”.

Prince Charles represented the UK at the televised open-air ceremony and in a speech was also warmly acknowledged by the guests when he told the new republic: “I shall always consider myself a friend of Barbados.”

Charles’ speech was a positive message, as if written for a close acquittance, harbouring no regret at the decision taken by the Barbadian leaders, and it also acknowledge Britain’s role in the “appalling atrocity of slavery”.

He listed the ways he will “remain deeply committed to this very special country”, highlighting the ongoing efforts of his Prince’s Trust International charity in supporting Barbados’s young people and his work with their government on issues like climate change.

Rihanna, who flew back to Barbados for the event, touched her heart as she was praised by Ms Mottley, who quoted the singer’s own lyrics as she said: “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honour to your nation by your words, by your actions and to do credit wherever you shall go.”...

"...era of biding time is over..."

It took decades of spying and trying since Nixon, but, China has finally achieved the status of enemy to The West. Tell me no one saw this coming.

Australia is the first to pick up on these changes because it has had a very close relationship with China for decades. Australia has always believed they would be great allies and now all that is changing. France really needs to lose it's anger over submarines. Austrialia is on the front lines of protecting The West and our democracies.

Omicron

I think the American people are ready for this mess. Vaccines, masks, social distancing and hand hygiene especially if touching the face and everyone should be good. I am surprised there is no current finding of Omicron in the USA, but, it might be contained.

Happy Hanukkah. It started during the USA Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 2021.

It is a beautiful holiday, the festival of lights, that celebrates family. There are more than one acceptable ways of spelling the holiday.

Chanukah (click here) is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods.

The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication,” and is thus named because it celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple (as you’ll read below). Also spelled Hanukkah (or variations of that spelling), the Hebrew word is actually pronounced with a guttural, “kh” sound, kha-nu-kah, not tcha-new-kah....

Yes! There is absolutely no doubt Bezos put his thumb on the scale.

New York - The National Labor Relations Board (click here) has ordered a new union election for Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama based on objections to the first vote that took place in April.

The move, announced Monday, is a major blow to Amazon, which had spent about a year aggressively campaigning for warehouse workers in Bessemer to reject the union, which they ultimately did by a wide margin.

The board has not yet determined the date for the second election and it hasn’t determined whether it will be conducted in person or by mail.

The rare call for a do-over was first announced Monday by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which spearheaded the union organizing movement....

The truth is OSHA needs to step in and conduct some heavy duty inspections of Amazon facilities. It is a rough place to work. There is a reason why Bezos is a billionaire. He cuts corners and causes hardship for his employees. 

Amazon was invaluable during the pandemic, but, the employees were at chronic risk and indirectly so were the customers.

...“Turnover at Amazon (click here) is much higher than at many other companies—with an annual rate of roughly 150% for warehouse workers,” according to the New York Times. There have been many complaints from employees at Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Workers alleged that they are given back-breaking tasks in the warehouses. They also vent their dismay over intrusive surveillance technologies, including automated tracking systems and cameras that monitor their every move. There is a palpable fear that if workers don’t meet specified quotas, they’ll be fired. This has led to workers calling for a union. A union drive in Alabama was attempted, but was thwarted and didn’t succeed....

It is time to educate the public and medical providers to the best use of medical cannabis.

There is an opiod crisis. What is wrong with everyone?

By A. J. Harrington

...An overwhelming majority (84%) of the health care providers (click here) surveyed said that their patients had requested or asked about cannabis for chronic pain, with 72% reporting that they had been asked in the previous 30 days. Dr. Daniele Piomelli, the director of the Institute for the Study of Cannabis at the University of California, Irvine and a member of the UCI Institutional Review Board that approved the research, said in a press release that the study “emphasizes both the public interest around cannabis as an analgesic and the lack of reliable data and/or medical education about its correct use.”...

Oh, yeah. Marijuana is a "gateway drug." True, if one is talking about alcohol and tobacco, but, it does not lend itself to addiction to other substances.

...These findings are consistent (click here) with the idea of marijuana as a "gateway drug." However, the majority of people who use marijuana do not go on to use other, "harder" substances. Also, cross-sensitization is not unique to marijuana. Alcohol and nicotine also prime the brain for a heightened response to other drugs51 and are, like marijuana, also typically used before a person progresses to other, more harmful substances....

Can we please move this along? Bah-humbug to the Republican Party.

KEEP TALKING, MICHAEL.

DON'T STOP NOW!

Prosecutors in New York (click here) could “indict Donald Trump tomorrow if they really wanted and be successful”, the ex-president’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen said on Sunday, discussing investigations of Trump’s business affairs.

Asked if he was “confident you did help Donald Trump commit crimes”, Cohen told NBC’s Meet the Press: “I can assure you that Donald Trump is guilty of his own crimes. Was I involved in much of the inflation and deflation of his assets? The answer to that is yes.”

Cohen also repeated his contention that Trump will not run for the White House in 2024, because his huge fundraising success while hinting at such a run is too profitable a “grift” to give up.

The Manhattan investigation of the Trump Organization, including whether Trump cheated on property valuations for tax purposes, is one of a number of sources of legal jeopardy for the former president....

I don't know what kind of nonsense is going on behind the scenes to prevent an obvious indictment, but, the games are over. Four years of the Oval office power bidding was a "no mercy" game for Trump. He and the Republicans who love to play "no mercy" on the American people, need a sincere reality check. Trump needs to be indicted already.

And the Attorney General needs to act on the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. Yes, Trump attempted to coup the sitting president.

Time to call a tow truck. Seriously. Drowning is not worth it.

Front winches are worth their weight in gold. If the driver knows how to properly use one.

If anyone owns a four wheel drive there is an absolute reason to have a front winch.

They make great Christmas presents. Cost about $1000.00 installed. Good investment. 

 

They look like trees our families would have in their homes. I think the decorations are great.

For those that don't like them, then they don't appreciate a Middle Class Christmas.

The White House decorations are great. I think they add a string sense of home. Everyone who celebrates Christmas will identify with those decorations. Lovely.

Happy Thanksgiving

Monday is proving to be a real let down from what everyone expected, a vaccinated and happy Christmas season. That may still be the reality if the latest viral mutation is contained which means 5 South African nations isolate those infected and not export the virus.

Let’s hope the Biden Safety Blockade of South African travelers works. My initial thought is that if the UK has it, the USA isn’t far behind. But, hopefully measures were put in place soon enough to keep the virus out of the country. 

This latest virus is going to put a lot of strain on our borders, especially if there is no additional virus mutations in the USA. This holiday season will be once again a challenge, but, I am convinced we still can manage a joyful season. 

Vaccine inequality.

WHO Dashboard (click here)

Africa has been doing the best of every continent on Earth. Did anyone except this?

This pandemic has little to nothing to do with the G20. I am sure there are measures made at the G20 to send more vaccine, but, in all honesty, economics and safety from a global pandemic is hardly an equivalent.

Equating government policy to a virus is exactly what has been the problem the entire time, especially in the USA where "Trump Denial Initative" caused a greater spread of the virus and geater number of deaths. The economy that was supposed to bring about jobs during the pandemic in the USA was the production of PPE and that never happened because Jared's buddy couldn't get the approvals of companies fast enough to stem the need. 

Counting on business people during this pandemic has been the biggest mistake anyone ever made. Greed is what caused this pandemic when the USA pulled out of China's monitoring to reduce the federal budget under Trump.

Now, South Africa wants the entire world to live in denial. No one in South Africa deserves this outbreak. It happened and now we all have to deal with it. South Africa needs to stop exporting Omicron and hunker down for FOUR FULL WEEKS to end the virus spread. This is easier than anyone in South Africa cares to admit!

The Wall Street face to the pandemic. Complete and absolute denial of the danger. Amazing.

"One America," an absolutely magnificent gathering of Americans. "Happy New Year, America"

All flights from South Africa must stop.

November 27, 2021

These are people fleeing South Africa.

Amsterdam - Dutch health authorities (click here) said that 61 people who arrived in Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa on Friday tested positive for COVID-19, and they were conducting further testing early Saturday to see if any of the infections are with the recently discovered Omicron coronavirus variant....

The count in the Netherlands is now 61. Physicians in South Africa have no control over airport towers. The governments have to put a hold on all non-essential flights out of the country and into the country for that matter.

South Africans are best to be vaccinated and seek medical care as needed. That said, I am also confident medical facilities will be out of beds soon if not already. This is a problem for the international community. They need to respond with vaccines, COVID pills and any other needs of the people there. The people of South Africa must not be left isolated, alone and suffering.

Anytime a belief or behavior becomes obsessive and effects the wellness of a person, it enters into a mental health dominion. People are claiming religious exception for not taking the vaccine, that is a mental health issue. People are dying because of such mental health problems and it needs to be addressed so the illness and/or death of one person doesn't effect us all.

This is a virus and has potential for causing hardship to every person on Earth. This is not the mask of the devil. Idiots!

Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of the United Kingdom, talks about Omicron exactly correct.

The government is supposed to protect the people. Placing travel bans and all sorts of quarantine measures is the correct way to think about Omicron. These measures "buy time" to be CERTAIN about the virility of this new virus mutation.

Omicron is exactly the virus all medical scientists have dreaded from the beginning and why people were told to get vaccinated and why shutdowns were incurred. Because a third level virus is dangerous. It can maneuver around immunity and infect anyway. Not only that but it will continue to mutate and could cause more problems.

Omicron is PROOF that all measures instututed by medical professions were correct, absolutely correct and important.

The vaccines were to prevent mutation, not encourage it. The scientists are absolutely correct. There is no reason to ignore or OPPOSE the guidance of scientists and their knowledge. THEY DO KNOW WHAT IS BEST.

Secretary Javid states this virus can be gone in weeks. That is because ISOLATION, quarantine and other GOVERNING measures will contain it and remove it from society.

All people STILL need to be vaccinated.

When Omicron is erased from society for it's quarantine, the potential for mutation any further will be erased as well.

END THE VIRUS SPREAD!

Every unvaccinated person has the potential of creating a monster virus. No one should embrace that possibility as a reason to believe all the more in Jesus! That level of religious obsession is a mental illness. Everyone needs a vaccine without exception to religion. Truly, has America become this stupid!
 

Omicron

Thirteen cases out of South Africa to the Netherlands by plane. Two cases in Australia. Australia is reporting they are asymptotic and fully vaccinated, but, testing positive. It is a wait and see situation. They are quarantined.

They probably won’t be allowed out of quarantine until they test negative.

Google has started its holiday page.

And of all places, Elk Rapids, Michigan has hired a consultant to end community discourse. Honestly. The social fabric of the USA is in significant disrepair.
