Kindly remember Pope Francis made children and the crosses they bear a focus this Easter.
Thank you and good night.

This is RADIOACTIVE WASTE. How long does DeSantis PLAN to have Manatee County a dead zone?
No one can afford to sit by and let physics and gravity have it's way. That is the CHEAP Republican answer. The Governor of Florida needs to PUMP THE LOUSY WASTE POND DRY and transport the radioactive liquid to a safe deposit area. That all has to be coordinated through the President of the USA and the US Army Corps.
I also want to know how many violations this place has accumulated and why under Trump NOTHING WAS DONE about it?
What does the Florida EPA have on record and why weren't they screaming at the top of their lungs. The US EPA needs to have it's offices throughout the country report in on more of these "death pools," including and especially in coal country.
There have been and are crimes being committed here. It did not get this bad because people were doing their jobs and the right thing for the people.

Manatee County remained under a state of emergency (click here) Sunday as federal, state and local leaders worked to contain a leak at a former phosphate processing plant that threatens to contaminate the area with millions of gallons of polluted water.
A worst-case scenario could send 20 feet of contaminated water flooding from the site, Acting Manatee County Administrator Scott Hopes said Sunday during a news briefing with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. A total breach that spurts out uncontrolled water could also destabilize gypsum stacks containing radioactive material.
Crews on Friday found a breach in the site’s largest pond, which originally contained about 480 million gallons of water. Because of potential flooding, an emergency evacuation order was ordered in the area, and it has been expanded to more than 300 homes. U.S. 41 remains closed to traffic to Moccasin Wallow Road.
“The models for less than an hour could be a 20-foot wall of water,” Hopes said. “If you’re in an evacuation area and you have not heeded that, you need to think twice.”...
Noah Green is a home grown terrorist.
His methods of killing are straight out of the playbook in the UK. Trapping police between a car and some kind of barrier and then wielding a knife. If he had a gun he would have done far more damage than he did.
My complete sympathies to the family of the dead officer, but, this guy is a homegrown terrorist.
To the left Noah Green. Great American kid until he gets pissed off. Now, how much is Farrakhan involved in the anger that set this guy off?
Washington D.C. —The suspect who killed a Capitol Police officer (click here) and injured another has been identified as Noah Green—a self-proclaimed “Follower of Farrakhan”—and not “a White male” as MSNBC falsely reported, or a “white supremacist” as many mistakenly presumed.
Green, who posted several Facebook posts as a proud follower of the Nation of Islam, rammed a car into the barricade at the U.S. Capitol, striking two Capitol Police officers. Green then got out of the car and attempted to attack other officers with a knife before he was shot and killed during the rampage.
Within the past few weeks, Green posted several concerning social media posts—before Facebook took down Green’s profile, as the NY Post reported....
Americans no longer have to send their daughters to Aruba to find the most dangerous beaches in the world.

Christine Englehardt left her home in Buck County, Pennsylvania, to travel to Miami’s spring break, an annual liquor-fueled street and beach party.
Two North Carolina men (click here) have been arrested and accused of drugging and raping a woman who later died in a room at the Albion Hotel on Miami Beach, police say.
The men, 21-year-old Evoire Collier and 24-year-old Dorian Taylor, also stand accused of stealing the victim's credit cards and cash and using them during their trip to South Beach....

A vigil has been planned (click here) for the 24-year-old Pennsylvania woman who police said was drugged and raped before being found dead in her Miami Beach hotel last week.
Christine Englehardt will be remembered at the Albion Hotel in Miami Beach on Friday evening at an event that is expected to be attended by local officials and activists, according to NBC’s South Florida affiliate.
The event will also feature a performance from a gospel singer, the report said....
“We cannot allow her death to be in vain,” a news release announcing the vigil reportedly said. “We must show that this type of behavior will cease to happen in Miami Beach.”...
DeSantis doesn't deserve a medal for any of this governance. It was and is horrible. I would think a governor would LEARN SOMETHING about governance with Spring Break 2020, but, no, not Ron DeSantis. The super spreading events are his specialty.

Only a week or two (click here) after widely shared videos showed crowds of teens and twentysomethings partying on South Florida's beaches, health officials are finding a surge of coronavirus infections in younger people.
Half of COVID-19 cases dated March 1 were found in people 39 or younger, but that median age has since dropped to 35.
Florida remains the nation's hot spot for the more infectious mutations of the viral pathogen, federal data shows. Health care workers have found 1,075 as of Friday — 1,042 of which are the so-called British strain — according to the latest data available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And that is an undercount, as many such cases go unreported because they go untested....
People in government and running for office simply can't make up stories for their own purposes.
Every company in the USA has a right to have it's dignity and REPUTATION intact at the end of any election cycle. Allegations being made by demented politicians should never be rewarded. Here again, a decent American company is taking on the corruption within the USA government and making it easier to be an American.
The lies of the 2020 elections and their reverberation through the media is due to right-wing extremism that learned the truth is not as motivating as lies intended to make Americans fear their government. In all honesty, this sounds like a strategy carved out by Putin. He would love to be able to control the voting machines in this country. Everything being said by desperate politicians sounds as though they have a corrupt Russian teacher.
That is the real trick with the minions of Trump. They are definitely liars and seek to control the government to their own advantage. A different example of this is Ron DeSantis. He is touting how he minimized the impact on Florida's economy while only achieving half the cases and deaths than some states in the USA. Really? Florida has been a HUB OF THE INFECTION THROUGHOUT THE USA since Spring Break 2020. Does he actually think he will get away with pretending he didn't cause the spread of the virus throughout the country through young people that are unwitting to his lack of leadership?

Lansing — Dominion Voting Systems (click here) is demanding that Patrick Colbeck, a former Michigan lawmaker, retract "false claims" he's been making about the company in PowerPoint presentations.
Dominion sent Colbeck, who's from Canton, a letter on Friday, according to a document obtained by The Detroit News. The company says Colbeck is waging a "disinformation campaign" while touring Michigan to give presentations entitled "Case for MI Decertification," which blames Dominion for "stealing the election" from former President Donald Trump.
"You are knowingly sowing discord in our democracy, all the while soliciting exorbitant amounts of money — totaling over $1 million so far — from your audiences paid directly to your personal business," says the letter signed by attorneys Thomas Clare and Megan Meier....
The Florida COVID-19 data isn't even accurate. One of the reasons the researchers (click here) decided to look at Florida statistics is because it was the first to lift the sanctions to PREVENT the spread of the virus. How convenient that DeSantis was able to manipulate the statistical reporting to make Trump's pronouncements seem real and the best way forward; Economic returns while Americans all over the country died due to "The Florida Super Spreader Events."

...Their research found (click here) that "the impact of COVID-19 on mortality is significantly greater than the official COVID-19 data suggest." Nearly 5,000 excess deaths in Florida between March and September 2020 are "unexplained," according to the study.
However, a CNN analysis of excess mortality data published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that's another data point in which Florida is just about average....
I think Major League Baseball is absolutely correct in their actions against racism in government.
The only way to end racism and oppression, especially when Americans make their choices who will lead this country at any level of government, is to stand together. The fans of MLB should not only stand with organizations and PLAYERS, they should support these brave efforts.
I congratulate the MLB. More organizations should join the ranks of those that want to end racism and oppression in the USA.
I am proud of them. They aren't just in it for the money for a stronger America. I think oppression and racism are very dangerous for our society. The stronger the fabric of the American flag the better a country we have.
The corruption of the Trump White House was downright scary and nearly robbed the people of freedom. This is the correct thing to do for the MLB and it is not going unnoticed. Oppression and racism as institutionalized in Georgia voting laws are a threat to everyone. The power of the many is far better than the power of the one. We witnessed that with the Trump White House and now we have to defend our country at every turn. The MLB just made it easier.

Rob Manfred (click here) has focused intensely on the business of MLB. How he's going about it is a study in some of his earliest moves as commissioner of the league.
Toronto - The discourse is too easily hijacked (click here) in these disquieting culture-war days, distilling complicated issues into a rhetorical jingoism that prevents rational conversation and nuanced arguments.
Predictably, Major League Baseball landed in the woke-versus-MAGA fray with its decision Friday to pull the all-star game from Atlanta, in protest of Georgia’s new election bill that places several restrictions around the state’s voting process. Media proxies spent Saturday dutifully howling into the echo chambers of their respective audiences, the usual bluster replacing anything that might resemble productive debate.
Rather than falling down the rabbit hole, let’s emphasize that any election reform that wins approval on a strict party-line vote, rather than bi-partisan support, is designed to give someone the shaft. In the wake of Stacey Abrams’ loss to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2018 by less than 55,000 seats, after Democrats flipped a pair of senate seats in last year’s election, with former U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of widescale voting fraud debunked, the Georgia law is a blatant attack on the voters – often Black – who fuelled those gains....

Three names come to mind, Trump, Bannon and Putin, not necessarily in that order.
We have witnessed Donald John Trump move a prince from the fringe in Saudi Arabia to the next ruler of the country. A vicious killer ruler as well.
We know for a fact Bannon is engaged in destabilizing The West. He has created a toxic conservative movement in nearly every country the USA calls an ally. The fact of the matter is Bannon and Trump are allies of Putin. So, I would not be surprised if somewhere along the way Crown Prince Hussein didn't mentoring from any three of them.
King Abdullah (click here) is young and healthy, but it’s never too early to introduce the country’s next ruler, Crown Prince Hussein, to key U.S. officials.
Amman - Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Maj. Gen. Yousef Huneiti (click here) on Saturday night denied reports that HRH Prince Hamzeh had been arrested but said the prince was asked to “cease all activities or movements exploited to target Jordan's security and stability” as part of comprehensive investigations conducted by security authorities.
He said Sharif Hassan Bin Zeid and former minister Bassem Awadallah, and others, were arrested as part of it.
The army chief added that investigations are ongoing and that results will be revealed in “a transparent and clear manner”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The procedures that have been taken are in line with the law and came after thorough investigations, Huneiti said.
He stressed that “no one is above the law and that Jordan's stability and security are above all considerations”.
Earlier in the day, a security source said that Sharif Hassan Bin Zeid and former minister Bassem Awadallah, among others, were arrested for “security reasons” .
Investigations are underway into the issue, Petra, reported....
The US State Department said that His Majesty King Abdullah is a “key partner” of the US.
