Vote for Joe Biden and Vice President Harris

President Biden has Presidential Orders to secure the borders. Today President Biden has provided an half million immigrants and their children living in this country for at least ten years to achieve their aspirations and stay in this country.

IF he is not re-elected in November all this progress through presidential order will be lost with a change in power in January 2025. The Republican presumptive nominee will counter these orders on the first day of his term. Worse than that, ICE will receive orders to round up all undocumented immigrants and deport them as soon as possible. Such extremist plans will harm the USA economy.

For all people within the USA that are benefiting by the presidency of Joe Biden, GET OUT VOTE for majority legislators as well as the executive branch. The country can’t sustain its current movement forward with a change in the administration. 

GET OUT THE VOTE for Biden/Harris to keep our democracy, economy, its people, and progress in protecting the climate. So much more has to be done on all fronts for our great country.

Meet Andres Mark john

This is a true story. This is supposedly his office somewhere in Gaza. He is a contractor to the IDF. 

He has a romantic need and goes to the internet to find a friend to talk to since there are few in his current position to pursue for conversation.

Below is also a picture of him (he likes to be comical for the girls, you understand), except he corrects his name to be John Mark Andres. He apologizes for the error. Now, come on here. 

He goes on to say that he is an American (that doesn't know the proper way to express his name) and he has two daughters that live in Utah and go to the Mormon academy. They are taken care of by a nanny. Starting to feel sympathy for this man so far away from home and missing his daughters? He states he is not interested in getting money from anyone, simply conversation. That turns out to be mostly true, but, the next bump in the road is nearly unbelievable. He decides to change his name, just for fun of course, to "Gracias." 

Yes, that is Spanish for thank you. Now, anyone should be wondering why he would be thankful, yes?

So the conversation goes on for a few more days and the couple is becoming cozy and comfortable. Mark states he goes out on patrol from time to time, but, primarily he is a statistician and composes daily reports for the military. 

And when Gracias believes the woman is enthralled with him, the picture below becomes the true face of Gracias and he is now asking for a gift card for $25.00.

This very true bait and switch scenario only begins to express the inherent danger to this game of internet relationships.

This case has already been reported to the State Authorities.

The problem as it presents itself here is that who is who? This is all conducted over the internet. Was there ever a John Mark Andres? Was Gracias, who's name no one knows, in control the entire time? Is there a conspiracy between the two men? Why Gaza? 

Regardless, a perfect stranger WITH A GOAL to obtain money from an American woman for his own purposes made an emotional connection and when he felt comfortable with that emotional attachment he began his game plan. This is nothing but dangerous. What if he has connections of some kind in the USA? How much danger is someone facing? Not only that but realizing there is a new person in the relationship is alarming. That itself can be intimidating.

People can laugh at those that get entangled with scammers and consider it a personality weakness, but, in all honesty don't Americans care a great deal about life as it presents itself? Don't they care about each other? 

September 11, 2001 brought a new reality to this country and there was a paradigm shift that sort of stated, "We are better together." What occurred was real heroes coming out of nowhere sometimes to rescue others. There was nothing wrong with that and they saved lives, but, Americans changed and now we have social media that brings strangers to our lives with seriously dangerous intent.

This case with Gracias is real. It happened. It was alarming and caused panic in a person's life. If this ever occurs in anyone's life, DO NOT BECOME PARALIZED and report the entire incident no matter how embarrassing it might be to the authorities. If the first authority one approaches might not be interested enough or think it a frivolous issue, go then to the next step up. Go from the cops, to the sheriff, to the state police, to the state bureau of investigation and on up to the feds.

It is a shame when monies are exchanged between strangers when the American believes they are helping those less fortunate then themselves, but, as seen in this case, there is a very real possibility there is real danger in that relationship that only reveals itself when it is too late.

Please have a better and more protected day. Americans are great people. We know that and we don't have to prove it to  anyone.

One other thing.

If the United Nations has a program to hold assets for those that sign on to work in foreign service, why don't they have a fail safe program that provides services when the unexpected happens and/or their contractors what to go on vacation. To my way of thinking assets are tricky things to hold in trust for those servicing overseas. A separate agency needs to provide that capacity with agreements with the contractor leaving for a period of time and mostly unreachable. The United Nations should not be overseeing such services to their contractors. All that has to be between private entities and the contractor providing a third party to contact in case of an emergency. Some people, as portrayed by the good doctor, have no family to act in their best interest.

I can understand the safety issue when serving in places like Somalia, but, at the same time these are civilized people with needs from time to time.

When Americans get involved with a scammer there is an element of danger they never consider.

First I want to provide a backstory to Dr. Wilfred Richards. It is important to realize there is always a sobs story that comes with these people.

Supposedly, as he provides no proof of his statements, he was orphaned at the age of 8 by parents killed in a car crash in Germany. He grew up in Germany after being born in San Francisco. All of that may be true, but, without knowing the facts as facts why would a perfect stranger be granted so much trust? There is no reason to grant that degree of trust where facts are not presented. Even if some facts are presented, these circumstances were not anyone's doing. There is no reason to feel badly when in fact an American holds no responsibility, even remotely, for that person's reality.

So, as to Dr. Wilfred Richards. He came to LinkedIn for social content. Now, mind you this man is in a UN mission in Somalia. Why in God's name would a UN mission even allow social contact with the outside world? Seriously. It is a dangerous place and there should be all kinds of alarm bells going off when these communications occur. Case in point, Dr. Richards has changed his email address several times because his accounts had been hacked. At least that is what is stated.

The PROBLEM that presents itself with Dr. Richards is a problem created by the UN. According to his statements, when he signed up for Somalia (volunteer) he placed all his assets (several homes) and his bank accounts into a trust with the UN. I am not saying he volunteered his services, quite the contrary, he had a contract with the UN. According to his statements he cannot obtain access to his assets or accounts for his own safety. So, I ask you, what does a hard working surgeon do when he is feeling burnt out and wants a vacation. He has no access to his accounts, so he has to obtain monies somehow. Next best thing to his own account is one that belongs to someone he has struck up a conversation with, namely an average everyday American.

The ask for the money is not about donating to his worthy cause of needing a vacation, it is about romance. The conversation is romantic with the understanding he will meet his new American darling somewhere with sunshine, a bedroom and plenty of good food. If one cares to go on vacation somewhere nice, the "Untied Nations" will arrange it all right down to the favorite wine and alcohol. Upon agreeing to the romantic getaway thousands of US dollars (at least $4000) will have to be sent in the way of gift cards. There are no bank transfers. And, oh by the way, there are a few fees for the paperwork necessary to let Dr. Richards leave the compound with notice and for the transportation off the compound.

That is the sort of thing that goes on in conversation over the internet between the happy couple.

HOWEVER.

Dr. Richards' case is complicated by other factors. In his case there was a death threat about the same time a security guard was killed. It is Somalia, these things go on, ya know? As a result of these scary circumstances he decides to take his own initiative and leaves the compound with plans to travel to Mogadishu's airport and leave the country for good. In route, there is a car accident, he never leaves the country, a medicine man rescues him to a hotel, all his belongs in the car are stolen and it would seem no one at the compound is worried enough to look for him.

Hence, here is this former US Navy surgeon needing assistance and there is only one person that cares enough to help, and you guessed it, his new found love. That begins a wild ride of needs and transportations and the list just keeps getting longer and more and more needy.

Now, his story may be true, but, there is an inherent danger to anyone involved when realizing he is openly stating this is Somalia. I mean get for real. Of course, the lady is worried and willing to help, but, the episode is not so clear of any danger. Basically, run! Don't walk to the nearest authority and begin to report this stressful situation and the monies that may or may not have been spent.

Now, let just say these circumstances of our former Navy surgeon are real and he is in need of help. 

Put that aside, because I can clearly illustrate in the next story  exactly what occurs that Americans have no clue about.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wrong.

(Click here)

The Prime Minister is not the Defense Minister. While I am certain PM Netanyahu understands war, is he wrong about the pauses along aid routes. Additionally, relatives are trying to bring their Palestinian families out of Gaza because they are being used as human shields by Hamas. 

Currently, the pier built by the USA to bring aid into Gaza is being viewed in some instances as a safe place where fleeing by boat can be accomplished. The folks running that pier are going to need gates to control fleeing Palestinians, otherwise, there will be dead Palestinians because of accidents along the pier.

Leaving via the pier is not a bad idea, however, safe departures should be planned. Basically, those fleeing Gaza whom are Palestinians could be legally considered refugees in these evacuations. The boats willing to pick up Palestinian refugees should be known to the Free World. Iran should not bring boats to the shoreline of Israel because that will escalate things and the pier will probably perish along with aid and aid trucks. 

The IDF is correct in carrying out pauses in daytime warfare to allow aid to travel into Palestine which also allows Palestinians so inclined to leave. The less human shields in Gaza will result in good operations to ferret out Hamas and other terrorist groups. That has to be a good thing because such pauses and safe routes allow Palestinians to recognize the IDF soldiers as important to their well being rather than their death. The Prime Minister’s objection to the IDF decisions is short sighted.

Recently there was a massacre by ambush of eight IDF soldiers in Gaza. It would be far better if the Palestinians in Gaza saw those same soldiers as liberators to their best outcomes. Perhaps such a change in the relationship between the civilian Palestinians in Gaza and the IDF just might end this war.

For those planning on voting for Communist Trump…

…this is what you have to look forward, too.

The DOJ is under attack from the U.S. House

 It is difficult to look away from a US House majority actively undermining our democracy with the assistance of Anti-American allies that profit from such propaganda. 

Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch does not accept the fact the USA government has an OBLIGATION to protect USA citizens through work of intelligence agencies (click here). This attitude by a private entity claiming the right to call itself a non-profit garnering income from donations has had “issues” with competent government functioning from at least the Obama Administration.

Fitton is an extremist conservative that is being harnessed by MAGA members of Congress to create the idea that the FBI is Anti-American and used by Democrats as a weapon against the Political Right Wing. That is not the case and let’s face it Fitton hates Democrats. 

At this point I might add, the U.S.A. Senate can and should review the work of the USA House for its current attempts to destroy the Department of Justice. The USA House is using the LETTERHEAD of Congress to create legitimacy to Fitton’s focus in the media. Fitton calls the intelligence agencies operations “black holes” of information. Yeah, that is correct. In the real world and not MAGA World those black holes are called CLASSIFIED documents.

As an example, Fitton gets pissed off because a FOIA demand of Osama bin Laden’s final burial place at sea isn’t forthcoming. Fitton’s FOIA demands are about tabloid media gossip, such as “Truth Social” and not about sincere government corruption. If he could get “the goods” on such classified information his wealth quotient would exceed his wildest dreams and make Vladimir Putin (Who may be a subscriber.) a happy man and perhaps enthusiastic donor.

The so called “weaponization” of the DOJ is due to legitimate use of the FBI assigned to investigations regarding January 6th. Those investigations primarily focused on about 140 people in the Boston, Massachusetts area. About a year ago the USA House used the government letterhead and produced the “weaponization theory” that is the basis of their harassment and wrongful “Contempt of Congress” charges.

Below is the first page of a “Whistleblower Review” by Congress of four individuals from the FBI. As far as I am concerned it is a matter of a point of view as to whether these are worthy whistleblower complaints which also taints the congressional report or not.

I can easily understand why there would be a need to investigate. I believe it was the Attorney General who promised American citizens that he would pursue the investigations wherever they would lead. In other words, he would not drop the ball on the events of January 6th. What is so laughable also is that there have been complaints the DOJ was taking too long to complete its work on January 6th.

So, basically, no one in the country is happy with the DOJ, either it is politically weaponized or it is too slow in prosecutions. I personally believe Attorney General Garland is doing a heck of a job if indictments are being handed down resulting in court hearings and convictions. Some of these convictions are of people highly toxic to domestic peace within the borders of this country. The only way these very dangerous people will be out in the general circulation of the country again is with pardons or commutations by Trump as he is promising in his campaign speeches.

Attorney General Garland is going to need an additional four years to complete his investigations and prosecutions to protect the country. He should be granted that with the re-election of President Biden and Vice President Harris. It is important to protect this democracy and not turn it over to Vladimir Putin through his proxy, the plutocrat Trump. After all, ruling the world for Putin is a matter of having the right people in place.

The Las Vegas Massacre

The forensics of the killer’s hotel room after the fact showed video cameras to monitor the police response, which was quick and decisive.

What the Supreme Court did today was to allow a war zone to be planned by White Supremacists and every other radical in and out of the country, because those Bump Stocks can be exported, too.

It is upto State Legislators to pass law to protect their law enforcement officers. Homeland Security needs to write regulations to protect all the federal officers. The National Guard and USA Defense Department needs to be sure American soldiers are safe and able to carry out their missions given the new recklessness of a bizarre Supreme Court.

I realize this is the summer and everyone wants to be home, but, don’t be long because those so inclined are already putting in their orders and the Tool and Die are being lunricated as I write this. 

Get busy, now. After the election will be too late for some. 

People will die because of the Supreme Court decision today. It is the responsibility of good governance to minimize and/or eliminate those deaths. Let’s not make the mean streets of the USA more violent with the return of Al Capone.

No more confrontation with firearms BY CONSENT as a legal act. When a gun kills it needs to be prosecuted. If it was self-defense it will show in the presentation of the case. The mess of gun laws that allow the easy use of weapons has to be brought under control. Legislation can also spell out when a gun is used frivolously or recklessly gun privileges can be revoked for a period of time or forever.

Insurrectionists should never be permitted to own deadly weapons again.

It is proven in other countries that the philosophy that everyone can own a weapon and it nullifies the danger is a lie. The more guns, the more violence, and the more law enforcement is mute.

Owning and carrying guns is not a right , it is a privilege. The Second Amendment primarily provides for the USA military to protect the country and some degree of self-defense. There is no absolute right to weapons.

Make every Rule of Law about politics.

What then is created?

Every law no matter what it is is about politics and partisanship.

What then is created?

When the Republicans are in majority the laws passed are extreme, no difference than the defense funding bill passed by the US House. When Democrats are in majority it is about closing the wealth gap, human rights like the Affordable Care Act, protecting Medicare and Social Security and making the country strong by providing free education to everyone. 

What then is created when a Supreme Court identifies fairly LEGISLATED law as partisan and disposable?

That is exactly what is on the bench at the Supreme Court now. Absolutely and without a doubt.

How does a plutocracy earn every vote that will create a majority win at the ballot box in November? 

Very simple.

Give every voter what they want with a promise of more of the same.

This is how to correctly spell the Roberts’ Court.

CORRUPT!


How many voters did the Supreme Court preserve for their partisan politics?

By protecting Plan B the women in the country might vote for Republicans.

The Bump Stock sales will ensure the White Man Vote stays to the political right. 

Bump stocks increase the danger of legally bought weapons of war accelerating the rapidity of bullets fired. The Los Vegas massacre didn’t matter because after all those folks went on to their maker and what could be better.

The Roberts’ Court are political hacks and nothing more. They have proven themselves to be very dangerous to the American citizens by increasing the odds of dying by backstreet abortion clinics and/or rabid gunmen.

The Roberts’ Court has no respect for human life or the sovereignty of this country. If a Supreme Court doesn’t protect life they are human rights abusers and allow citizens to be demised by free will of others. 

Police Chiefs across the country are right this minute issuing bump stocks to their officers. The Roberts’ Court makes America’s streets more dangerous. They have no reverence for life including that of police officers. 

Statement from Attorney General Phil Weiser:

Case in point from an entry on LinkedIn.

(Click here)

Now markets are impacting the food supply. This is the role of government to intervene. There is a limit on free market capitalism. The ETHICS are gone. There is no value of DECENCY in capitalism.

Government MUST push back against greed. Oh, my, but politically it could be called “tax and spend.” That’s right, when it protects the best interests of the most vulnerable such as Social Security and Medicare in the USA from failure then I guess that is what it is called.




Foreign ownership

How much of the housing market has been affected by foreign investment and/or ownership? After Trump was elected all his Chinese friends that liked to congregate at Mar-a-logo decided real estate was a good purchase. Foreign ownership of U.S. property has been a growing problem that creates impossible market pressures for the working Middle Class. This dynamic of foreign OCCUPATION of the U.S. housing market needs greater scrutiny. Those foreign purchasers have assets far above that of average Americans, especially if they are backed by governments such as communist oligarchs. This dynamic exists even through Wall Street equity markets that have turned trailer parks into wastelands of greed.

(Click here)

These investors can easily be used in attempts to destabilize the Free World economy. Yes, as a strategy of economic war.

Wall Street, including foreign investors, is a huge issue when it comes to depriving Americans of the American Dream. These are HOMES to tax paying Americans, not simply real estate as a gambling chip in equity markets.

There is also a Plutocrat Class now that simply reeks havoc with every aspect of democracies, The entire idea of escalating wealth into the hands of a few people is a problem for the stability and viability of democratic governments.

Enough already!

If Wall Street is going to play with the American Dream then institute a transaction tax to have the ability to counter the instability and HARDSHIP Americans are facing. These dynamics also creates impossible rents and homelessness. It is high time sincere the market collapse of 2007 to fine tune the understanding of GREED and its impact on everything valued by citizens of the Free World.

Evan Gershkovich should be returned to the USA unharmed.

His family misses Evan and needs him at home in the USA. The charges against Evan are manufactured by Russian intelligence at the order of Vladimir Putin. Evan is not guilty
and could never have been involved in espionage. Never.

The problem with prisoner exchanges with Russia is that they are untrustworthy. The very same assassin was supposed to be swaped for the Late and Correct Russian President Alexei Navalny, but, Putin had him murdered with upcoming elections that he was on the ballot for re-election as Russian President.

(Click here)


I don’t know if Russia will ever be a reliable partner again in any negotiations, yet alone those for an innocent journalist accused of espionage.

Look, it just isn’t a good idea to travel to
Russia or any other communist country. Americans are a prize for these governments. The prize is a new source of propaganda.

Americans should stay away from communist countries like Russia or China. Americans are not safe there and are targets for detention and wild stories  such as espionage. 

The USA intelligence is all any Free World country needs to know what is transpiring in Russia.

AG needs President Biden

The work the DOJ is doing, especially in relation to January 6th and a criminal former president needs Presidential Privilege to protect this democracy.

President Biden and AG Merrick Garland need to protect us all from a runaway US House focused on the politics of the day and not the people’s business. The right wing politicos are attempting to protect a criminal president Trump and that isn’t allowed. 

The AG and DOJ are doing the people’s work and need President Biden to issue Presidential Privilege as needed.

This is called a climate crisis.

This isn’t just bad weather, this is a change in climate that is dangerous. This is also south Florida where sand rules the day. Cities and towns building on sand with this level of flooding worries me for the development of karst topography (click here).

(Click here)





Well, this is the ways of Wall Street, right?

And, “The Boys Club,” likes the continuity of the threat. Yes?

If women would behave themselves they would still be pulling in those Big Bucks, and I am not talking deer.

There are eight women standing up for dignity at work. They have talent and don’t date the boss. These eight women did not decide over tea there should be a way to drain the coffers of Space X, especially when realizing the salary check Musk is requesting. 

That did not happen.

What did happen is that eight very talented women went to work for Space X and received a hostile work environment in appreciation of their diligence.

That did happen.

Now, these talented engineers were fired due to their demands in a lawsuit. They have recourse in their lives. NASA is always looking for good engineers and so is NOAA. There are also other private space companies, Galactica, Blue Origins, and Boeing just had a successful launch. Any one of those space agencies would be happy to hire a former Space X employee. 

When these eight women get their justice they might want to open a private company run by women to lead the future of space travel. I think they will rise above these realities, value their contributions, and move forward. 


I am sorry there are still Neanderthal bosses who believe they can exercise control over their sexual habits and culture in the work place. They still exist and are managing to find reasons to retry their cases to leave prison. It is called sexual assault. A hostile work environment drains the impetus to excellence and replaces it with distraction and withdrawal from appreciation in the workplace. It is hugh and I wish these ladies great success in their lawsuit and future endeavors.

Look, if women don’t set the tone for excellence in the workplace, their daughters will be at risk in the future.

There is no leadership in West Virginia

(Click here)




The people in West Virginia voted for the same people time and again to represent their interests and what do they care about? The people or Wall Street?

None of this surprises me. West Virginia is a primary example of how corrupt the oil and coal industry is in prioritizing profit over environmental safety of the voters. The state has been served by people that cower politically to these industries. The latest was a pipeline no one wanted, but, yet it occurred anyway.

The cancers and illnesses the citizens of West Virginia are experiencing are known to occur with this type of industrial pollution. The industries need to be sued for these outcomes no different than the tobacco industry. These are known outcomes. They are unacceptable outcomes because of money, power, and political corruption. This is the year 2024 and Americans are still being affected by these industries. Seriously?

There is an opinion in the Baltimore Sun the AG should consider.

It is about injustice. I will say this, if some of these mass killings are a result of “mutual consent” shootings, the law needs to take exception to shootings vs. bare fist fights. 

The Burr-Hamilton duel is old world. The guns of modern day America are too powerful and cause too much damage to ever treat such shootings as “by mutual consent.”

(Click here)



DOJ under attack.










To begin McConnell (click here) denied Merrick Garland a place on the Supreme Court, so the political right wing has to prove he is a lousy AG.

Then every thread of anger the political right initiates along comes Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch to weigh in. In all honesty Fitton has become another “My Pillow” guy for the likes of FOX News (the Trump fixer network) and manufactures information for Trump World.

It is amazing to watch. The DOJ sends out an email about all the great accomplishments of the department and the very next email I receive is Fitton with another outrageous claim and/or FOYA complaint filing.

He prides himself as a strong man, literally. He must take steroids. He is muscle flexing all the time! Both within his legal ability to file meaningless FOYA complaints and his hours at the gym.

I think his favorite claim is, “The DOJ has been compromised!”

At a Cabinet Meeting sometime AG Garland should ask the other departments if their hate mail, phone calls, and letters has increased over what is normal or average in past administrations. I think the AG will find out his department is not alone in receiving harassing hate behavior. There are probably repeat offenders the DOJ can silence with harassment complaints.

And last, but hardly least, Lady Justice is actually at work within the Rule of Law under AG Garland in that Trump and his minions are being brought to justice for January 6th. That is no minor accomplishment when considering how seriously close the legislators came to real bodily harm that day. The Republican Senators, lead by Cruz, hid in a supply closet hoping never to be found. That is called fear.

But, prosecutors are being successful in obtaining law enforcement against a former USA president. It firmly proves no American is above the law.

Some of the DOJ accomplishments are quite astounding and making progress with real gun control.

I am sure they are prepared for the upcoming elections. The right political wing has been hard at work limiting voting rights and access. They have moved primary dates to OBSTRUCT President Biden and Vice President Harris from being on the ballot. Under Trump’s party leadership, which is now a Trump Anti-trust issue with his family running the entire party, there is real danger to a legitimate election in November 2024.

It is going to be a very long Election Day which will be months long in securing a true expression of the wishes of the American people. It is a shame what one man has done to this country all in the name of greed and the power affiliated with it.

I appreciate AG Garland and the DOJ. They have gone forward without fear to conduct the hard work demanded by this democracy. I sincerely thank the AG and the magnificent people of the DOJ, FBI, and all the agencies that fall under the AG’s gaze. 

Great work, all of you!
