Trump wants the USA National Parks to make profits for the USA Treasury. Squirrels don't pay taxes.

The Trump administration (click here) is proposing to make it easier for oil and gas companies to drill on US forest service lands.

A proposed rule would eliminate key environmental reviews and public notice requirements, according to environmental advocates.

Currently, 2.7 % of the acreage of the national forest system has been leased by energy industries. An analysis by The Wilderness Society finds that the changes would make drilling more likely on more than 9m acres of land with high, medium or moderate development potential in Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. Many of the forests are near tribal lands or include the traditional territories of indigenous peoples, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Western US forests could see the biggest changes, but the rule could also affect the east coast, where there is far less forest service land....



Drilling within forests would require clearing trees for well pads and disrupting the ecosystem for roads and pipelines....

The damage to the USA by the Trump administration is so profound it requires a new approach.

There is not going to be RECOVERY. In order to recover an economy, there has to be something there to recover. The recovery period was over in April 2020.

7,380,326 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the USA .

Household Survey Data In September, the unemployment rate declined by 0.5 percentage point to 7.9 percent, and the number of unemployed persons fell by 1.0 million to 12.6 million. Both measures have declined for 5 consecutive months but are higher than in February, by 4.4 percentage points and 6.8 million, respectively.

The USA economy cannot return to previous years because of permanent damage by the failure of leadership of Donald John Trump.

As the coronavirus pandemic (click here) continues to wreak havoc on the U.S. economy, bankruptcies are on track to hit the highest level in at least 10 years according to figures compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

According to the analysis, which only includes public companies and private companies with public debt and/or assets/liabilities over $2 million or $10 million, respectively, 424 companies announced their bankruptcy through August 9 this year, up 22 percent from the same period last year and the highest level since 2010.

Consumer-focused companies were most affected by the pandemic, with more than 100 of them filing for bankruptcy this year. Due to the lockdown, the already battered retail sector was hit by a wave of bankruptcies that swept away household names such as J.Crew, Ascena Retail and J.C. Penney.

The national GDP of the USA is being depleted day after day.

Trump never put the American people first and still doesn't.

Pence is defending the fact containment was never achieved nor was it a priority to this administration at any point of this pandemic.

The George W. Bush and the Barak H. Obama administrations never had to close borders because SARS and Eboli was contained and never effect the health of the American people and never disrupted the American economy.

The CDC and NIH were IGNORED by the Trump administration were ignored for an entire week during the most critical time in this exposure to SARS-CoV-2 THE BEGINNING.

The disaster took hold and the USA borders were closed to China. They are open now, there is freight coming and going between China and the USA. It was later that the borders were closed to Europe and SARS-CoV-2 migrated into New York without barriers. It was more than a month after that the southern borders were closed to South America and long after Miami was inundated by the virus.

This is a remarkable accomplishment and going forward it will make a huge difference in people afflicted with illness.

It’s CRISPR. (click here) Two scientists who pioneered the revolutionary gene-editing technology are the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The Nobel Committee’s selection of Emmanuelle Charpentier, now at the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin, and Jennifer Doudna, at the University of California (UC), Berkeley, puts to rest years of speculation about who would be recognized for their work developing the CRISPR–Cas9 gene-editing tools. The technology allows precise edits to the genome and has swept through labs worldwide since its inception in the 2010s. It has countless applications: researchers hope to use it to alter human genes to eliminate diseases, create hardier plants, wipe out pathogens and more....

Most people respect reality.

Cal Cunningham needs to make amends to his wife for a weakness in their marriage.  Unfortunately, a woman that was supposed to help the campaign became a liability as she indulged her loneliness with a separation from her husband. Publishing any naked pictures on public forums by anyone is considered revenge porn.

Cunningham needs to provide an interview with a trusted journalist and if his wife will appear with him then all the better if she forgives him. If not, then she needs to decide about her marriage. He still needs to talk to North Carolinians. He has votes. He can't simply step out of the picture. Voting has already begun in North Carolina.

Cunningham will bring better outcomes to North Carolinians. Tom Tillis has a strong track record that sells out the best interests of North Carolinians for big money from cronies. North Carolinians deserve better and Cal Cunningham needs to respect that, too.
