Donald Trump refuses to follow the law. The Congress, especially the US House, is responsible for the federal budget. By harassing the agencies to prevent spending Trump can report he is improving the operations of the government and demand the budget to be decreased.
He promised to cut the federal budget to ZERO by the end of his first term. The exception is the military. Evidently, according to the extreme right wing ideology, the federal government is not necessary and the only constitutional activity is the USA military.
Donald Trump manages to reek havoc at every turn and completely disregards the law and the power of the legislature. Trump has conducted a full front assault against the US Constitution. He is a communist, what does anyone expect?
This is just a stark example of the impact of Trump on the government functioning. He is not to be trusted.
There were approximately 16 announcements sent via cyber on May 4th. That is dysfunctional and no doubt occurred because Trump instructed higher spending at the NLRB. Why? Because Joe Biden showed up. That's why.
I think all the Democratic candidates are wonderful, but, Trump sees the former Vice President as the one person that scares him. I believe this episode with the NLRB is very telling to the corruption Trump instills into the government.

The Government Accountability Office (click here) wrapped up an investigation into possible budget improprieties at the National Labor Relations Board without issuing a formal, public report of its findings, sources familiar with the inquiry tell Bloomberg Law.
The investigation followed reports that the Trump administration had instructed the board’s chairman and general counsel to restrict their spending of money allocated to the NLRB for this fiscal year. Agencies are generally required to spend allotted funds unless the president pauses the process by sending a “special message” to Congress, and then a revised budget.
The directive was said to be part of a White House plan to claw back about $15 billion that had been appropriated by Congress to federal agencies.
The GAO deals with that sort of underspending allegation on a “no harm, no foul” basis, sources familiar with the process told Bloomberg Law. The primary objective is making sure improperly withheld funds are released. Investigators may drop a probe and decline to make findings public if there isn’t proof of impropriety, or if the agency corrects course.
It’s unclear whether the GAO found merit to allegations that the board unlawfully withheld funds or if the probe was ended because funds were subsequently released....

Ellen’s Stardust Diner, home of the world-famous singing servers in Times Square, New York City, settled a number of unfair labor practice allegations in late September 2017, just a week before a hearing on the issues was scheduled to go forward. The restaurant agreed to offer reinstatement to all thirty-one discharged employees, expunge the employee records of the alleged unlawful discharges, and post and mail notices to current and former employees. Thirteen employees have accepted offers of reinstatement. The settlement agreement provides that backpay for all discharged employees will be adjudicated through a compliance hearing.
A server and Stardust Family United, the union created by the servers, initially filed charges in September 2016. The charges alleged that Ellen’s Stardust Diner had surveilled employees while they were engaged in protected concerted activities, interrogated employees regarding their protected concerted or union activities, interfered with employee social media postings, disabled employee workplace messaging, maintained an overly-broad confidentiality provision, solicited employee signatures for a petition to remove Stardust Family United as a representative, and discharged thirty-one employees because of their protected concerted and union activities.
Throughout the investigation, the Employer asserted that it discharged thirty of the thirty-one employees after it uncovered theft by reviewing its point-of-sale records. The Employer turned over its findings to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. In assessing the Employer’s reason for termination, the Region reviewed at least 26,000 pages of documents and concluded that the discharges were retaliatory....

If west Tennessee is highly seismic and there are the beginnings of microquakes in east Tennessee someone needs to perform a more comprehensive study.
Maryville, Tenn. - Residents in the Maryville area (click here) may have gotten a shaky surprise on Friday morning.
According to the USGS, a small earthquake hit the town at around 4:30 a.m.
The USGS said it was a magnitude 2.0 quake.
This seismic event is just one of many to hit the East Tennessee area in the last few months.
April 23, 2019
Lenoir City, Tenn. - If you felt the ground shake (click here) Tuesday morning, you're not crazy. The USGS reports a magnitude 2.1 earthquake hit Lenoir City around 3:30 a.m.
Magnitude 2.1 is small enough that many people may have slept right through it. No damage has been reported.
April 4, 2019
Maryville, Tenn. - The 911 center in Blount County (click here) said dozens of people have called with reports of loud booming in Maryville.
According to the USGS, four earthquakes hit near Maryville on Thursday. Two around 1 p.m., a 2.4 and a 1.8 magnitude, one around 5 p.m., a 1.4, and another around 7:45 p.m., a 1.4 magnitude.
Callers reported hearing loud sounds in the Sandy Springs area and near Maryville High School, one dispatcher said. Officers were sent out to check the surroundings, but did not find the cause.
Reports on the booms have been coming in periodically, the dispatcher said. One dispatcher said she had received about 30 calls on the subject.
"The last call I got the guy said he'd heard it five times throughout the afternoon," she said.
When an earthquake hit Greenback in mid-March, many people reported hearing loud booms. The USGS says, "No one knows for sure, but scientists speculate that these "booms" are probably small shallow earthquakes that are too small to be recorded, but large enough to be felt by people nearby."
Congress needs to speak to these issues. If the government has become unrecognizable to it's smooth operation Americans need to know.

Dear Chairman Scott and Chairwoman Wilson: (click here)
Thank you for your letter of March 14, 2019, regarding concerns over reports that the National Labor Relations Board intends to outsource review of public comments received in response to its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the joint-employer standard. I would share your concern about a private contractor performing the substantive review of comments in this important matter, particularly with respect to appearance of conflicts of interest and undermining confidence in the Board's deliberative process. It appears, however, that you were misinformed, and I very much regret that this misunderstanding created unnecessary alarm. The Board has not outsourced, and will not outsource, the substantive review of the joint-employer rulemaking comments. We are in the process of compiling the specific information your letter requested, and a supplemental response to your letter will be provided. In the meantime, and to promptly allay any concerns, I want to fully explain the Board's plans for reviewing the comments submitted in response to the joint-employer NPRM.
Preliminarily, I am pleased to report that the response to the NPRM has been outstanding. As we have publicly reported, the Agency received nearly 29,000 comments from interested organizations, unions, academics, business owners and individual workers all over the United States. This level of participation confirms the importance of the Board's rulemaking on the joint-employer standard, and we look forward to giving full consideration to all comments received.
To ensure each public comment submitted to the Board is appropriately reviewed and considered, we have decided to engage temporary support on a limited, short-term basis to perform the initial sorting and coding of the public comments. This support work will be provided through a GSA-approved temporary employment agency, contracted through the GSA bid process and taking all conflict-of-interest issues into consideration. We will ensure, of course, that appropriate confidentiality protections are in place. Again, I emphasize that this work, which will be overseen by NLRB staff, will not involve any substantive, deliberative review of the comments but will be limited to sorting comments into categories in preparation fOr their substantive review. The Agency's own labor-law professionals will perform the first substantive review of the comments, in aid of the Board's exercise of its deliberative functions in connection with the overall rulemaking process....
Washington, DC — Earlier today, Chairman John F. Ring responded to a March 14, 2019 letter from Chairman Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Chairwoman Frederica Wilson (D-FL) regarding the Agency’s planned process for review of comments submitted in response to its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the joint-employer standard.
A copy of Chairman Ring’s letter is available here.
Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employers and employees from unfair labor practices, and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year.

Mr. Doyle joined the NLRB in 1995 as a Law Clerk in the Atlanta office. In 1996 he converted to Field Attorney and transferred to the Agency’s Birmingham resident office. He served in that office until 2010, when he was promoted to the position of Deputy Regional Attorney in the Baltimore Regional Office (Region 5). In 2014 Mr. Doyle was appointed to his most recent position of Deputy Assistant General Counsel in the Agency’s Division of Operations-Management in Washington, D.C.
A native of Tarrytown, New York, Mr. Doyle graduated from Colgate University in 1992 and Fordham University School of Law in 1995. He is admitted to the Bar in New York.
The NLRB is an independent federal agency enforcing the National Labor Relations Act, which guarantees the right of most private sector employees to organize, to engage in group efforts to improve their wages and working conditions, to determine whether to have unions as their bargaining representative, to engage in collective bargaining, and to refrain from any of these activities. It acts to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers and unions.
Fracking and related activity destroy the land.
May 5, 2019By Eurasia Review
This USGS map (click here) shows the potential for an area to experience damage from natural or human-induced earthquakes in 2016.
The hotspot on the map west of Tennessee and east of Arkansas and Missouri is the Mississippi River. When seismic activity occurs along a river, there is always a chance it could open a cavern that will swallow the river.
Using data from field experiments and modeling of ground faults, (click here) researchers at Tufts University have discovered that the practice of subsurface fluid injection used in ‘fracking’ and wastewater disposal for oil and gas exploration could cause significant, rapidly spreading earthquake activity beyond the fluid diffusion zone.
Deep fluid injections — greater than one kilometer deep — are known to be associated with enhanced seismic activity–often thought to be limited to the areas of fluid diffusion. Yet the study, published in the journal Science, tests and strongly supports the hypothesis that fluid injections are causing potentially damaging earthquakes further afield by the slow slip of pre-existing fault fracture networks, in domino-like fashion....
...The hazard posed by fluid-induced earthquakes is a matter of increasing public concern in the US. The man-made earthquake effect is considered responsible for making Oklahoma– a very active region of oil and gas exploration–the most productive seismic region in the country, including California. “It’s remarkable that today we have regions of man-made earthquake activity that surpass the level of activity in natural hot spots like southern California,” said Robert C. Viesca, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Tufts University’s School of Engineering, co-author of the study and Bhattacharya’s post-doc supervisor. “Our results provide validation for the suspected consequences of injecting fluid deep into the subsurface, and an important tool in assessing the migration and risk of induced earthquakes in future oil and gas exploration.”...
I certainly hope this delayed delivery of this announcement is simply odd rather than neglect.

Washington, D.C—The Judges Division of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued an updated Bench Book, which replaces an earlier version issued in January 2018 (Obama). The new January 2019 edition contains citations to numerous additional Board and court decisions and other authorities. It also contains several new sections, including sections addressing compliance/backpay proceedings and consolidated unfair labor practice (ULP) and representation cases. In addition, certain sections have been substantially reorganized, including those addressing privileged or protected material.
Like the 2018 edition, the new 2019 edition was edited by NLRB Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Jeffrey Wedekind and contains a Foreword by Chief ALJ Robert Giannasi describing the Bench Book’s history and purpose. As discussed in the Foreword, the basic sources that govern Board ULP hearings are the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Board's Rules and Regulations and Statements of Procedure, and Board decisions. The Board also applies, so far as practicable, the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE), and frequently seeks guidance from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). The Bench Book serves as an NLRB Trial Manual, and is designed to provide NLRB judges with a reference guide during hearings. It is also a useful tool for trial practitioners before the Board because it sets forth Board precedent and other rulings and authorities on certain recurring procedural and evidentiary issues that may arise during a hearing.
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested with the power to safeguard employees’ rights to organize and to determine whether to have unions as their bargaining representative.

I will discuss the dynamics of forests for as long as it takes and will continue to read the report of the Special Counsel, but, tonight I would like to cover Labor in the USA. I think it will become evident that Joe Biden seems to be the candidate to beat.
On May 4th there was an unusual number of notices from the NLRB. I think the information dump occurred because Trump is worried about Biden.
These are just the facts. You can't make this stuff up.
And remember one thing, when woman work they don't transform into men, they are always women. I don't think women that work for a living ever plug into the good old boy club. Obviously. There aren't many complaints of sexual assault by women of men. 99 percent are men assaulting women. I think women are prepared to be serious about work and the outcome. They always have been. Other than boy cut panties, there will never be a transformation into men or their image. Some work clothes are too practical to wear anything else.

So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice, working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She already knows
She's seen her bad times
She already knows
These are the good times
She's seen her bad times
She already knows
These are the good times
She'll never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard.
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard.
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right
Next time McConnell runs for re-election he needs to be defeated by a person that out shines him with stronger credentials and service to the country. The argument McConnell likes to tout as his power is protecting coal jobs. That is a blatant and provable lie. There are very few people making a living in the mines.
The rhetorical McConnell has seen the loss of tens of thousands of mining jobs in Kentucky. That is the truth and the people need to realize it and move forward to a candidate dedicated to bringing economic renaissance to Kentucky with strong local economies and re-education to new jobs currently vacant because Americans have not proven to be qualified. Those jobs exist.

I think the US House has a very interesting set of circumstances. Obviously, AG Barr is breaking federal law. He is doing so because he has enormous power and he practices obstruction with that power. In any actions by the US House that requires cooperation of the Attorney General’s OFFICE and that cooperation is refused it is time to file a lawsuit with the US Supreme Court to uphold the US Constitution and assign an independent prosecutor.
In regard to impeachment of Barr or otherwise the US House needs to have a dialogue with their constituents to know how the people see it. Town Halls, local news interviews and newsletters will be clear attempts to solicit opinion as well as educate. Door to door canvassing can be a sincere initiative to bring the American people into the decision circle.
If the US House goes forward with any impeachment, the arguments have to be compelling to the people so they can bring pressure to uphold the impeachment. If McConnell practices politics rather than upholding constitutional law, McConnell will need an ethics review and censure carried out. Once the ethics investigation proves corruption and censure is levied, it then enters into political reality for the people to realize the extent Republicans scoff at the US Constitution.
Additionally, any professional organizations that governs it’s licenses and otherwise should receive all the facts. There was a time when Former President Clinton faced a suspension of his license.
This is a time for finding the authority where it exists with such a corrupt White House. I refuse to believe obstructing will prevail.
