Whiteout conditions were cited during a pileup involving as many as 85 vehicles on State Route 8 north of Akron, Ohio, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019.
Snowy weather (click here) and whiteout conditions were blamed for multiple pileups in Ohio and at least two deaths on Tuesday, a day after at least four people were killed in dangerous travel conditions caused by a snowstorm that swept through the Plains and Midwest.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the driver of a semitrailer died after he crashed into an emergency vehicle early Tuesday on Interstate 70 in western Ohio's Clark county.
More climate deaths. People cannot outsmart this stuff. This is not normal weather conditions. These are arctic conditions now in lower latitudes. Most of these people haven't heard the words, "white-out," yet understand it. Safety from official sources has to come in finite and definite words as in, "Driving in these conditions is not ever recommended."
Another person was killed in a crash on the Ohio Turnpike in Richfield at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, Cleveland.com reported. The crash closed the westbound lanes of the Turnpike between Interstate 271 and Ohio 8, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.
A crash on Interstate 80 Tuesday afternoon near Austintown, Ohio, involved more than 50 vehicles, WKBN reported. The interstate was closed in both directions between Salt Springs Road in Weathersfield to the Ohio Turnpike in Jackson Township, according to WFMJ. Two people were seriously injured, WJW-TV reported.
If roads are going to be closed due to conditions of weather or accidents WHY SEND PEOPLE OUT ON THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Westbound Interstate 76 also was closed in Mahoning County from Interstate 80 and State Route 46 to the Ohio Turnpike because of a crash, the Ohio Department of Transportation said. Multiple vehicles were involved, according to WKBN.....
Driving to emergency scenes isn't easier because the vehicles are emergency vehicles with lights flashing. White Out conditions make emergency response difficult and at times impossible. Keep people off the roads.
White Out conditions is a matter of wind and it cannot be cleared up with road salt. White Out is worse than fog.

..."The lung itself was so firm and scarred (click here) — this is an evil that I haven't faced before," Nemeh said. CT scans of the teenager's lungs revealed extensive inflammation and scarring of the tissue. The areas of the organ that contain air typically appear black on a CT scan; but in the patient, hardly any black showed up at all on his scan. Spots of dead tissue speckled both lungs, signalling to the medical team that the damage was "irreversible," said Victor Coba, a specialist in critical care medicine at Henry Ford who also treated the patient....
The government investigative medical scientists are still examining the evidence of vaping injuries to Americans. The teenager above underwent a double lung transplant with the technology of an ECMO machine (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) (click here) keeping him alive. The transplants were successful.
The investigations into the vaping disease is not yet conclusive. The scientists have stated vitamin e acetate (click here) conclusively is a contributor to the disease. However, the scientists have also stated there are other factors. They have cases where vitamin e acetate is not at all involved.
The idea of vaping is a bad one. Until vaping's effects on the lungs are completely known, vaping should be completely avoided.
The word itself sets limits on the words that came before it.
In my opinion, in reading the transcript on this blog days after it was released, that word transformed the discussion.
The first statement by President Zelenskyy was about the Javelins. He wanted the delivery of additional armaments. Straight forward and to the point.
The first statement by Trump was the favor he asked of Zelenskyy. The word "though" was about the sixth word he spoke. He never answered President Zelenskyy's question. NEVER. For the four pages of the transcript after the word "though" was spoken the conversation never returned to the Javelins. It ONLY discussed Barr and Guiliani and an investigation into the Bidens. The word "though" as in the definition of the word very much limited the words before.
Trump in that conversation estimated the Javelins were never going to be delivered. The time frame of this conversation was at a point when the unspent funding was approaching cancellation. That cancellation of funding weighed heavily on President Zelensky and why the call was undertaken in the first place. As far as Trump was concerned there was no reason for the discussion of the Javelins because the funding would cancel and the Javelins, in appreciation of Russia, would never be delivered.
"...though..." is huge in this conversation, it makes a change in the direction of the conversation that would never return to the priorities expressed by President Zelenskyy.
Trump, in appreciation of Russia, was sabotaging the Javelins to Ukraine in a timeline that would cancel the sale.
"...though..." is huge.
Not hardly.
Resignations, retirements and a new Independent.
The ones that remain LOYAL to Trump are voting out of political fear. I hardly call that partisan.
And then there is the shuffling of Jim Jordan as the preferred lead Republican. Jim Jordan was a lightweight wrestler who went to law school and never took the bar exam. This is the guy that is going to OVERSEE the Republican response to Impeachment? Really?
Former House Speaker Boehner said Jordan was an indiot (click here).
The idiocy doesn't stop there. He is a do nothing. He shies from real responsibility. It is just that one crook has learned how to stand up for another crook.

A college wrestling referee (click here) claimed in a new lawsuit that he told Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, two decades ago that an Ohio State University team doctor who has been accused of sexually assaulting students had masturbated in the shower in front of him.
But Jordan, who at the time was an assistant Ohio State wrestling coach — and then OSU head coach Russ Hellickson, who was also told about the incident — just shrugged off the shocking claim about Dr. Richard Strauss, the suit says.
Jordan and Hellickson responded, “Yeah, that’s Strauss,” according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court in Columbus, Ohio....
How many more of these college athlete scandals is the USA to tolerate and now a US House of Representative as Assistant Coach is involved. Do I have to remind the US House about Penn State?
The Trump White House is facing an impeachment hearing tomorrow and Trump is playing games. He is guilty as sin and everyone knows it. This isn't about Trump or Republicans, it is about a president who broke the law. He sought to intimidate a new Ukraine president in order to spin up a political story that would carry brevity because it was coming from another country. That was supposed to seal the deal to 2020 re-election.
Donald J. Trump as president of the USA is a failure. He could not lead so he sought to play power games to favor Russia. He is a traitor, a criminal and his White House is among the most corrupt in history. Tomorrow will provide history a reason to TELL THE TRUTH.
Much of the lawlessness is affiliated with White Supremacy/Nationalism. Even people elected to office in the state legislature accepts the services of the lawless.
It is one thing to have corrupt politicians, but, a sheriff is an entirely different issue.

...But after all the effort to recover, (click here) he and his wife have talked about leaving their home of more than 20 years.
And not because they’re afraid of wildfire.
“The only reason is because we have a group of extremists led by a sheriff,” said the 55-year-old former police officer.
In 2014, Larson retired as an area commander for the Oregon State Police after a 27-year career. He volunteered for 12 years on the Grant County School Board. Last year, he ran for a seat on the county commission, “and I’ve regretted it every day since then because it began this nightmare,” he said.
His opponent was Sam Palmer, younger brother of the most controversial law enforcement official in the region, Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer.
Larson lost the election decisively. During the campaign, the sheriff reported Larson for a timber theft that forest managers say never happened, and the sheriff’s supporters challenged his water rights....
There is an ethics complaint, but, this is more than an ethics complaint; citizens believe they are threatened with their lives. It appears he is a thief as well.

A sheriff in eastern Oregon (click here) who announced he would resign the day after being notified of an ethics complaint against him, now says he will stay on the job and seek reelection for a sixth term.
Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer told county officials at a public meeting last week he would quit. But he wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday, “I am withdrawing my resignation.”
A former Oregon State Police officer filed the latest ethics complaint with the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, or DPSST, a state agency that enforces minimum standards for peace officers.
The complaint alleges Palmer failed to return lost property — in this case, a fishing pole with the owner’s name engraved on it. The complaint alleges Palmer kept the pole out of personal animosity toward a retired Oregon State Police officer, Gordon Larson....
Palmer is engaging in his own form of justice. He is lawless and needs to be investigated for his very, very corrupt actions while serving as law enforcement. He easily has violated his oath of office.

Atlanta - Former President Jimmy Carter (click here) is recovering after brain surgery this morning at Emory University Hospital.
The Carter Center confirmed that there were no complications from the surgery to relieve pressure on his brain due to a subdural hematoma.
The swelling in his brain is due to multiple falls over the past six months
They are subpoenaed. They are compelled to tell the truth and I expect nothing less from them. They are the definition of a patriot. No truer definition can be made of them.
They face danger every day in their jobs. This is an added dimension to that danger, but, if one thing is true about these people is that their middle name is "brave." Each in their own way brings traits to the USA that cannot be duplicated. The American people will be witnessing bravery for and loyalty to the USA in action.

As diplomats kick off nationally televised impeachment hearings (click here) on Wednesday, it is clear how, more than in any political scandal in modern history, career employees have emerged as crucial witnesses.
Rank-and-file bureaucrats who work in the federal agencies that handle national security will defy the directive of the White House to stay quiet, instead describing what they saw as they went about, in their view, just doing their jobs.
Their role in recounting to the public how President Trump and his allies attempted to enlist Ukraine to investigate his political rivals will not come without risk. All but one of the 11 career Foreign Service staff, military officers and Pentagon officials who first testified in closed-door depositions in the Capitol basement are still in government....
