A Supreme Court that can really hurt the people.

No more lying in politics, it hurts democracy. No. It is a direct assault against democracy.

Pedophile laws are not about just caging criminals it is about preventing child abuse, permanent damage to a young mind, end of missing children and saving a child's life.

No more coal fired energy plants. No more "unattainable" classifications. Coal fired plants must be dismantled. Coal is over. Make diamonds.

Atomic power everywhere is not the answer, especially near bodies of water. Nuclear energy plants have to be built realistically, not ideologically.

Where there are wind maps that support wind enegy, get it done.

There are many options for solar energy and that is more a personal choice for home energy.

Protect DACA. It is time to get it done.

Protect women's health and maintain abortion as a legal option in 50 states.

Health care matters for every person in the USA.

Gun violence is a public health issue. Gun legislation is necessary in every state of the United States if the federal government is unable to serve the people because of corrupt politics.

No more defaming science.

By the end of the month, (click here) the United States will reach what White House COVID-19 response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha calls “an important moment in the pandemic.”

“For the first time,” he said last week, “essentially every American, from our oldest to our youngest, would be eligible for the protection that vaccines provide.”

More than two years into the pandemic, COVID vaccines are expected to be ready for kids younger than 5 — as soon as June 21 — with federal agencies poised to authorize them after a series of meetings over the coming week.

With so much of the world moving on, despite persistently high infection rates and worrisome new variants, are parents anxious for the shots?

For many — especially in the highly vaccinated Bay Area — it’s a moment that’s long overdue....

Defend DACA

A path to citizenship for undocumented people in the U.S. (click here) has been debated for decades. The urgency has never been more clear that it is right now. Unfortunately, however, with midterm elections around the corner, any meaningful discussion on immigration reform will likely fall onto the “talk later” list. But lives and the economy can no longer wait for “later.” Entrepreneurs who are Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, specifically, are a category of people who can help boost the U.S. economy. Here’s an example of one of my clients capable of doing just that....

E85 is a type of gasoline (click here) that is priced significantly lower. In some states, including Kansas and Missouri, you can get it as cheap as $2.67 a gallon.

E85 is 85% ethanol while most other types of gasoline are E10 or 10% ethanol.

Before rushing to the nearest E85 station, mechanics said drivers need to make sure their vehicles can take E85 gas....

The Securities and Exchange Commission (click here) is investigating Goldman Sachs over its E.S.G. investment funds — funds that invest in companies that say they are committed to environmental, social and governance principles, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The agency is examining E.S.G. mutual funds overseen by the bank’s asset management unit, said the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the matter. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on the investigation.

The S.E.C. declined to comment.

Americans need to stop being skeptic of Science and Scientists. Decades of warnings.

Flying over Antarctica, (click here) it’s hard to see what all the fuss is about. Like a gigantic wedding cake, the frosting of snow on top of the world’s largest ice sheet looks smooth and unblemished, beautiful and perfectly white. Little swirls of snow dunes cover the surface.

But as you approach the edge of the ice sheet, a sense of tremendous underlying power emerges. Cracks appear in the surface, sometimes organized like a washboard, and sometimes a complete chaos of spires and ridges, revealing the pale blue crystalline heart of the ice below.

As the plane flies lower, the scale of these breaks steadily grows. These are not just cracks, but canyons large enough to swallow a jetliner, or spires the size of monuments. Cliffs and tears, rips in the white blanket emerge, indicating a force that can toss city blocks of ice around like so many wrecked cars in a pileup. It’s a twisted, torn, wrenched landscape.

A sense of movement also emerges, in a way that no ice-free part of the Earth can convey—the entire landscape is in motion, and seemingly not very happy about it.

Antarctica is a continent comprising several large islands, one of them the size of Australia, all buried under a 10,000-foot-thick layer of ice. The ice holds enough fresh water to raise sea level by nearly 200 feet.

Its glaciers have always been in motion, but beneath the ice, changes are taking place that are having profound effects on the future of the ice sheet—and on the future of coastal communities around the world....

The Biden Department of Commerce has plenty of reason to investigate price gouging.

Because Congress could never get price controls passed and Republicans are using inflation as a political tool, the real problems will never be addressed at that level. However, the Executive Branch can investigate price gouging. Selling products in smaller amounts for inflated prices is investigated in the article below. 

I am very serious when I state my costs of living have not seen the kind of inflated prices as others. I purchase goods from a cooperative whereby I am one of the member-owners. I not only am not suffering inflated prices I continue to eat the same diet without interruption. At the owners dinner once a year I also get back a percentage of the profits the coop has realized. 

Additionally, four times a year for one day in the month the member-owners are treated to 10 percent off purchases. When renewing membership everyone is supplied with five times 5 percent discount during the year. On every Wednesday the cooperative offers 5 percent discount to Senior Citizens.

The Coop also accepts Food Stamps with special attention to vegetables and fruits. Those using food stamps are provide a percentage of their spending in free fruits and vegetables. If they don't use all the free percentages in one food order, that percentage carries over to any food order they purchase in the future.

Yes, my Non-GMO coop food store is normally more expensive than the area Wall Street stores, but, it is a moral mission the Coop carries out along with an increased price to bring in as much local interests as possible, including a limited amount of clothing and household items. There are also a variety of beneficial programs for the community, including "Micro-loans" for new local start ups that will sell their products at the Coop. 

Now, that I have advocted a different way of thinking about food purchases, the inflation in America is somewhat a Wall Street strategy. See, if Wall Street can make these higher costs painful any relief from it will be welcome. The inflation rate might be a problem, but, I don't believe Wall Street is feeling that much of a pinch in their bottom line. I am not saying Wall Street isn't flucturating on a day to day basis. I think to understand the morality of a company, look at the profit margin and stockholder returns before declaring it is all inflation. It is not all inflation.

It's the inflation you're not supposed to see. (click here for video)

From toilet paper to yogurt and coffee to corn chips, manufacturers are quietly shrinking package sizes without lowering prices. It's dubbed "shrinkflation," and it's accelerating worldwide.

In the U.S., a small box of Kleenex now has 60 tissues; a few months ago, it had 65. Chobani Flips yogurts have shrunk from 5.3 ounces to 4.5 ounces. In the U.K., Nestle slimmed down its Nescafe Azera Americano coffee tins from 100 grams to 90 grams. In India, a bar of Vim dish soap has shrunk from 155 grams to 135 grams.

Shrinkflation isn't new, experts say. But it proliferates in times of high inflation as companies grapple with rising costs for ingredients, packaging, labor and transportation. Global consumer price inflation was up an estimated 7% in May, a pace that will likely continue through September, according to S&P Global.

"It comes in waves. We happen to be in a tidal wave at the moment because of inflation," said Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts who has documented shrinkflation on his Consumer World website for decades....

"BeepU" is different than Anime. Anime has a story line that is not explicitly sexual.

"BeepU" is sexually explicit. When I first saw this sight it screamed Pedophile to me. If Pedophiles are found to own or be in possession of Kiddy Porn it is prison. But, if they are fantasizing cartoons it most likely is not carrying any penalty.

Someone is having a party and the cartoon figure below is highly sexually suggestive. I think the Twitter feed can be used by pedophiles for get their thrills, but, can be used to groom their sex objects.

I also have a true story about sex trafficking. 

Two mature women are driving home from a family reunion. They were leaving Pennsylvania to go home. As they were traveling down the highway they passed a U-Haul truck with a Lexus following close behind. As they passed the U-Haul and Lexus the driver stated, "What was that banging?"

The passenger said, "What banging, there is nothing wrong with the car." 

Driver, "I am not talking about the car, there was banging coming from that U-Haul. Didn't you hear it?" 

Passenger, "No." 

Driver, "I am going to slow down and roll down your window, I am going to go by the U-Haul one more time and listen."

With that the passenger turned down the radio and listened and sure enough she said, "Oh, no. There is a definite banging in the back of the U-Haul." 

Driver, "Right?" 

Shortly thereafter was a toll booth. The driver stated to the toll taker, "The U-Haul coming up behind us has at least one person in the back of the truck because both of us heard the banging." With that the toll person called the State Troopers. The story ends with the reporting of sex traffickers being caught and taken into custody.

Sex and/or human trafficking is still a problem in the USA and the USA Congress needs to address it. If these cartoons are to be out there for the amusement of adults, then don't make it available to minors on Twitter and You Tube.

The moral of story is that people can make a difference in the real world if they are paying attention to others in distress. 

Departing the issue of who is made to be pregnant and why, I was made aware of a website that has questionable values.

The Robert's Court's controversies occur around States Rights.

July 3, 2019
By Robert Longley

In American government, (click here) states’ rights are the rights and powers reserved by the state governments rather than the national government according to the U.S. Constitution. From the Constitutional Convention in 1787 to the Civil War in 1861 to the civil rights movement of the 1960s, to today’s marijuana legalization movement, the question of the rights of the states to govern themselves has been the focus of the American political landscape for well over two centuries....

They are methodically removing federal authority. Quite interesting to me even today was the Robert's Court giving protections to Trump during a Congressional investigation. Trump was impeached twice and may yet stand for a third or more in the future as more of his underhanded administration carried on with it's corruption.

There are plenty reasons for the Robert's Court to be reviewed in it's decisions and the American people to be skepitical of it's agenda. Yes, agenda. Roe v. Wade was settled law, and rightfully so, until this court decided it had power to overturn the decision. That is a political decision ideology and not Rule of Law.

The decisions of the Robert's Court must be reviewed for the agenda they carry forward. There are underlying rules they are playing by that are not within the scope of American law.

When one examines the dissolving of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 it was all based in States Rights over that of the citizen(s).

The Court’s Decision (click here) After describing the history of how subpoena-based disputes between Congress and various presidents have been resolved, the Court discussed the basis for—and limits to—Congress’s subpoena power. Specifically, the Court affirmed that Congress’s subpoena power cannot be used for law enforcement purposes. In other words, Congress cannot use its subpoena authority to put someone on trial for a crime or wrongdoing, nor does Congress have the “power to expose for the sake of exposure.” Slip Op. at 12. Indeed, the Court confirmed that congressional investigations used solely to “punish” those investigated would be “indefensible.” Not only that, the Court reinforced the limitations to the subpoena power, including that the subpoena must serve a “valid legislative purpose,” and is proper only if it is “related to, and in furtherance of, a legitimate task of Congress.” Slip Op. at 11. In addition, the Court reaffirmed that those subject to a congressional subpoena have both constitutional However, the Court, at the same time, reaffirmed Congress’s broad subpoena power, which aids “Congress’s important interest in conducting inquiries to obtain the information it needs to legislate effectively.” Slip Op. at 14. The Court stressed the concept that the subpoena power is a “power of inquiry,” which is “essential” to serve the “legislative function.” Slip Op. at 11....

Remember Octomom?

The high order multiple birth led to controversy in the field of assisted reproductive technology. Right? Basically, the American society decided such births were to be scrutinized. California ran an investigation of the case.

So, while America embraces family as it's core values, there are limits to what society will consent to in that core value.

Full house! (click here) “Octomom” Nadya Suleman has 14 kids, and the California native has been documenting their busy lives via social media.

The former adult film star was already the mother of Ameerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Jonah, Joshua and Aidan when she gave birth to octuplets in January 2009 named Nariyah, Isaiah, Maliyah, Jeremiah, Noah, Josiah, Jonah and Makai.

The little ones turned 13 in January 2022, and the California State University, Fullerton grad celebrated the milestone with an Instagram tribute.

“You are all growing into some of the most kind, humble, grateful and loving human beings I have ever known,” Suleman captioned a family photo at the time. “Each of you possess rare and unique characteristics and are unlike any other child of your age, particularly in our society today. You are selfless, altruistic, nonmaterialistic and loving, fearing, followers of God. … I do not know what I could possibly have done to deserve being blessed so bountifully. I love you.”...

When Fatima Basha (click here) became pregnant at the age of 34, she realized her body wouldn't be able to handle another child.

The mother of nine children in Syria had experienced a couple of miscarriages earlier, a stillbirth and also suffered from gastrointestinal problems that often left her weak and fatigued.

"She and my father knew that her body could not withstand the trauma of another childbirth," her eldest son, Dr. Yahya Basha, 76, of West Bloomfield, recalls. "I was about 16 at the time, and vividly remember my father confiding in me, saying their intent was to terminate the pregnancy."

They visited several doctors to get an abortion, but she was unable to find one to perform the procedure, Basha said. Fatima soon died during childbirth in 1962, unable to survive the bleeding.

"Coming back from school, we were taken to the hospital," Basha said, weeping as he recalled seeing his mother dead on a hospital bed when he was 16 years old....

How important is an intact natural family in the USA?

This is an absolutely incredible story. It shows the dogged belief the people of the USA has in valuing the family. I congratulate everyone involved in finding the missing child as an adult. Everyone who added to the path to the truth has done remarkable work.

I just find this story magnificent in the depth of the belief in family.

There's been a new discovery (click here) in the mysterious death of a Florida couple and the disappearance of their baby.

According to a news release from the Texas Attorney General's Office, the bodies of a man and woman were discovered in a wooded area of Houston, Texas, in 1981. Investigators believe they were victims of a homicide. According to the Houston Chronicle, the man had been beaten to death and the woman was strangled.

Their remains were not identified until 2021 when investigators used DNA technology to determine the remains belonged to Tina Gail Linn Clouse and Harold Dean Clouse Jr.

The couple, who had reportedly just moved from New Smyrna Beach to Texas, had a baby named Holly. The infant was not found with the remains of the Clouses.

Family members of the Clouses have been searching for answers since the married couple and their daughter vanished in 1980.

On Wednesday, the Texas Attorney General's Office announced that Holly had been found alive and well, now 42 years old.

Investigators apparently walked into Holly's workplace this week, in Oklahoma, and told her who she was, leading to her being reunited virtually with her biological family members.

On Thursday afternoon, the Texas Attorney General's Office held a news conference that answered questions about who raised Holly.

The news conference began with a plea to the public asking anyone with information on the case to come forward.

First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster described the case as "an ongoing criminal investigation," and stressed that there were details he wouldn't be able to discuss....

It's Sunday Night 

A couple of ways to look at this. I think there are a few subjects I haven't closed on and not sure if I will anytime soon, but, it is time to catch-up.

Then again, housekeeping may be the only thing a woman can do when the Robert's Court removes the protections of Roe v. Wade.

"Housekeein'" by Tyrese Gibson (click here for offical website - thank you)

Oh, do I got a story to tell,

An unexpected one.
Oh, woke me out of my sleep one Sunday morning,
I said who's at the door, she repeating housekeeping, housekeeping.
I thought the sign on the door said do not disturb.
I had to stop myself from getting mad after I seen her.
I couldn't believe my eyes, she had a sexy something bout her,
Made me want to give a try, but I know it's the hotel policy,
And I'll be breaking all the rules if I let her get a piece of me.

Can somebody tell me why housekeepin' got me going crazy?
She got the best of me and I just can't explain(I gotta make my move baby).
Can somebody tell me why housekeepin' got me going crazy(housekeepin', housekeepin')?
Something about the vibe that made me want to stay.

Now I'm just here for a few more day, so what we gonna do about this problem baby.
I can leave my key at the front desk, and you can take stairway to get up to my room.
She looked me straight in the eye, and I can't deny, this is a crazy situation,
But I'm a sit back and enjoy the ride.
I gotta thing for you, you gotta thing for me,
So we can do whatever we want to do baby,

Can somebody tell me why housekeepin' got me going crazy?
She got the best of me and I just can't explain(I gotta make my move baby).
