Kentucky needs a Special Prosecutor. As if the USA doesn't have enough to do when it comes to corruption and rebellion.

The USA has a problem list that needs to be addressed now. Kentucky seems to have a problem with the truth. The issue I have with this is the fact Breonna's boyfriend Kenneth Walker was arrested when she died.

Charges against Kenneth Walker, the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor, were dropped on Friday.

Prosecutors on Friday (click here) said they were dropping charges against the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was fatally shot by three white police officers in Louisville, Ky., in March.

The announcement came one day after the Federal Bureau of Investigation said it had opened an investigation into the shooting, which has drawn nationwide attention.

“I believe that additional investigation is necessary,” Thomas B. Wine, the county prosecutor in Louisville, said at a news conference on Friday. “I believe that the independent investigation by the attorney general’s office in Kentucky, the F.B.I. and the U.S. attorney’s office must be completed before we go forward with any prosecution of Kenneth Walker.”...

I don't want to hear anything about any cult of personalities or how they came to be in the house together or any other negative or derogatory comment. The fact is a beautiful lady is dead and a good-looking man has had his life completely disrupted by police that obviously believes they can do no wrong. And guess what, Kentucky is so corrupt, they can't do anything wrong.

Ky. (WBKO) - Attorney General Daniel Cameron had a full first year in office.

The most significant is likely his handling of the Breonna Taylor case where the grand jury didn’t charge anyone directly with Taylor’s death.

Taylor was killed during a police raid in March of 2019 and her death ignited a national movement and many protests.

Former Louisville Officer Brett Hankison was the only one of the three officers indicted by a grand jury on three counts of wanton endangerment first degree for “blindly firing” into Taylor’s neighboring apartment where three people were inside. If convicted, Hankison could face up to 15 years in prison....

Civil rights violations? What are you kidding me? This is not only about civil rights violations, it is about the lousy SOBs that run the state. Brionna Taylor died unnecessarily, but, why? Because the corruption is so thick that police and sheriff officials can make up any cockamamie story they want to earn their Boy Scout badges.

This is about KENTUCKY and THE RULE OF LAW when officials, elected and otherwise, are caught red-handed manipulating "the truth," attempting to blame the victims dead and otherwise as to the hand of sheriff and police and the fact an entire Grand Jury was unable to return the correct verdicts because it was hidden from them. 

This is not corruption, this is a blatant disregard of the Rule of Law to conduct a shadow government within the State of Kentucky. There isn't any recourse by the people except for the federal government to step in and set the record straight. Not just the record regarding the death of Bioanna Taylor and the wrongful imprisonment of Kenneth Walker, but, the entire record of corruption so deep there will be arrests made for long-standing BAD PRACTICES that victimize people and prosecute the innocent. Kenneth Walker is completely innocent, but, if it keeps a storyline going that allowed the sheriff's department to be exonerated from some of the most horrific police work on record, Kenneth Walker would already be tried and convicted.

Kentucky needs a Special Prosecutor to remove the corrupt government structure that looks like it can rewrite the truth to its own script. That is not only disastrous but, leaves me and many others wondering who else in prison or worse at the hand of those freewheeling law officers, including, by the way, the Attorney General are actually innocent people? The leader of the Kentucky Senate was at the ready to enhance the script all the more. He is elected and this is the laws he deals on a regular basis. 

Brionna Taylor and Kenneth Walker are only the tip of the iceberg.

Nobody is asking pretty please anymore. This is it. Change to salvage the climate is now!

Dow Chemical has been around since the 1890s. The same time Henry Ford was stating greenhouse gases were a problem.

By Florence Tan and Gavin Maguire

As a young man Dow (click here) entered the rudimentary chemical industry of the 1890s by inventing an entirely new method of extracting bromine from the prehistoric brine trapped underground at Midland, Michigan. His first patent was issued in 1889, and by 1933 he had over 90 patents. He is best known for his work in halogen chemistry, particularly the production of bromine and chlorine.

Singapore- Dow Inc is adjusting its carbon footprint and product slate (click here) to adapt to climate change and tap evolving consumption trends tied to the global energy transition, a senior executive said this week.

Dow has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050 by boosting the use of renewable energy, such as wind power in the southern United States, and by improving energy efficiency at its petrochemical plants, Dow’s Asia Pacific President Jon Penrice told Reuters on Wednesday.

It is also developing products that help customers cut their own emissions such as sealants that improve heating efficiencies in buildings, materials to lighten electric vehicles and make batteries more efficient, he said.

“We actually see climate change as something that’s very likely to happen, high probability and high impact,” Penrice said.

“It’s going to be a big opportunity I think for many, many players in the petrochemical industry.”...

The problem is not the charges returned.

The charges returned from the Kentucky Grand Jury are correct. The problem are the charges not returned from the Kentucky Grand Jury because of information withheld from evidence.

Now, is the time to change product loyalty to bring about sustainable lifestyles that lead to zero emissions.

Aviva chief executive Amanda Blanc (click here) has warned that the insurance industry cannot “speak with forked tongue” on global warming by doing one thing with its investment portfolios and another with the products it sells.

More insurers are promising to focus their often vast investment portfolios on those companies committed to cutting carbon emissions in line with the Paris climate agreement. But in an interview with the Financial Times, Blanc said the industry’s efforts to curb global warming also needed to be reflected in how it sold insurance.

“The underwriting needs to catch up with the investments,” she said. “We need to be having conversations with corporates around our ability to underwrite something which is no longer sustainable.

“We can’t be saying we want to take the premium but we’re not going to invest in these organisations. That would just be incoherent”, said Blanc, who has run Aviva since last July.

The warning came as Aviva pledged not to sell insurance to companies which make more than 5 per cent of their revenue from coal or other heavily-polluting fuels such as oil sands, unless they have signed up to climate targets.

The promise was part of a wider set of climate commitments announced by the UK insurer. Aviva said it would be a net zero carbon emissions company by 2040, a decade earlier than many other financial services companies have promised....

If one says it in Kentucky, the others fall in line.

Left - Senate President Robert Stivers


Senator Stivers discussed facts that were presented to the public by Attorney General Daniel Cameron that the public did not know such. Stivers said many thought it was a no-knock search warrant when Cameron said it was not and the officers identified themselves.

Senator Stivers went on to say it was a tragic set of events that took place and the warrant should have been executed at a different time, but it was done lawfully. Stivers said serving a search warrant at 1 a.m. is not appropriate policing.

“It’s not to say that there wasn’t negligent conduct and some bad policing and the city has settled with a substantial settlement because of that but because something is negligent or let’s just say it’s stupid doesn’t mean that it is criminal," said Stivers....

February 25, 2021

Leigh Valley, Pa. - Air Products (NYSE:APD) has been rated (click here) as the top climate-aligned company by Barron's as part of its 2021 Ranking of the Most Sustainable Companies in America.

Overall, Barron's ranked Air Products 13th on its 100 Most Sustainable Companies list, up 20 spots from the previous year. Air Products earned first place as the top company for the climate-aligned segment of the rankings, which rated companies for efforts to reduce the impact on the environment throughout their operations and provide sustainable solutions.

"Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Our industrial gases, technologies and applications enable customers around the world to reduce their energy use, lower emissions and increase productivity," said Seifi Ghasemi, Air Products' Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are proud to be recognized by Barron's for our sustainability efforts and solutions but know there is always more work to be done, which is why Air Products is playing a lead role in addressing significant energy and environmental challenges through gasification, carbon capture and hydrogen for mobility solutions around the world."...

Grand Jury members have attorneys so they can talk to the public about the lies of the AG. Interesting.

October 27, 2021

Two anonymous members of the Breonna Taylor case grand jury (click here) are telling their stories publicly more than a month after Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's office announced the decision in the case. Over 2½ days in mid-September, Cameron's team of prosecutors and investigators laid out their findings to 12 grand jurors on what happened the night Taylor was killed at her South Louisville apartment just before 1 a.m. March 13. The grand jury returned an indictment Sept. 23 for one of the three officers who fired his weapon that night — former Detective Brett Hankison — on three counts of wanton endangerment. Hankison is accused of shooting into an occupied apartment next to Taylor's. Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Detective Myles Cosgrove, who fired the rounds that struck and killed Taylor, were not charged....

  

This is not good news in a warming climate.

A large iceberg about 20 times the size of Manhattan (click here) broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf in the Weddell Sea section of Antarctica during the past day, following the buildup of a large crack in the floating ice during the past decade. The iceberg is about 490 square miles and about 492 feet thick, according to the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).

The iceberg is large, but not as huge as the iceberg that calved from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017 and recently threatened to run aground on South Georgia Island.

The BAS maintains a research station on the ice shelf, known as the Halley Research Station, but it will be unaffected by this calving event, the organization said. In 2016, the BAS moved the station, which was built on skis, to protect it from spreading cracks that could’ve left it marooned, floating out to sea aboard an iceberg.

The past decade has seen three major cracks develop through the floating ice shelf, according to a BAS news release.

“This is a dynamic situation. Four years ago we moved Halley Research Station inland to ensure that it would not be carried away when an iceberg eventually formed. That was a wise decision,” stated Simon Garrod, director of operations at the BAS, in the news release. There is currently no one at the base, since it is staffed only during the Antarctic summer research season....

Frankfort, Ky. - A petition (click here) seeking the impeachment of Kentucky’s attorney general was filed Friday by three grand jurors who criticized his handling of an investigation into Breonna Taylor’s shooting death by police.

The petition’s allegations against Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron include breach of public trust and failure to comply with his duties as the state’s chief law enforcement official. They do not accuse him of any crimes, but impeachment is not considered a criminal proceeding....

Chevy is bringing back an updated "Bolt" in 2022.


February 25, 2021

Tesla (click here)
 has established a "significant first mover advantage" over new entrants in the ever-expanding electric vehicle market, but a few other smaller names stand out, according to CFRA's Garrett Nelson.


In a note published Wednesday the senior equity analyst said Amazon-backed Rivian, Lucid Motors, and Fisker will emerge as "success stories," as EV sales climb in 2021.

Nelson uses four categories to analyze emerging electric-vehicle manufacturers: 1) the specs (price, range, etc.) and overall attractiveness of their initial vehicle models; (2) financial considerations such as their funding sources, balance sheets, and liquidity; (3) the growth opportunity of their sub-industry; and (4) the experience and credibility of management....

All the manufacturers are appreciated, but, I think Chevy is going to have the price point Americans will be looking for.

It's Sunday Night

"Earthly Justice" by Western Centuries (click here for offical website - thank you)

Drinkin' black coffee from a styrofoam cup, he lays a quarter on the box
He says "I like the way he sings and I like to hear him play, I just don't wanna hear him talk"
And he's sittin' in the corner of the Blue Spruce Bar, with a white peace-flag t-shirt
He's got his sleeves rolled up and he's a-waitin' for the man that put his name in the dirt

He says "Wait, wait a minute
"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in it"
He says "Don't, don't you do it
"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though it"

And if earthly justice just don't get them in the end
There's always a heavenly trial on its way
And if the bank is empty and there just ain't no money to spend
At least you still got something to say

And he's talkin' to his family through the holes in the glass, he says that he's a changed man
He says "I learned a thing or two, like when to start new, and a fire don't need a fan"
Now he's pushin' broom at the valley highschool, he's keepin' it all in the closet
The Judge, he said, "So you better keep your lid on, that seems to be just what caused it"

He says "Wait, wait a minute
"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in it"
He says "Don't, don't you do it
"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though it"

And if earthly justice just don't get them in the end
There's always a heavenly trial on its way
And if the bank is empty and there just ain't no money to spend
At least you still got something to say
