Josh Shapiro for VP gets my vote.

Sorry to hear Roy Cooper didn’t want to be considered. I know he wants to run in 2026 for US Senator. That would be wonderful if he did, but, it is tough in an off year. He should start now in beginning to grow his campaign at the grass roots.

I don’t blame Governor Whitmer for stepping back after this term. She, as well as Former Speaker Pelosi have been the focus of domestic terrorism. It is very stressful and stepping back from the big jobs can be good for a future candidate. 

I think
Josh Shapiro has a lot on the ball. He is also young for a governor. The people absolutely love him. Hard to come by, but, he must have great ideas that keep Pennsylvania growing strong that may benefit other states as well. 

The number of possibilities for VP are narrowing. I hope President to be Harris chooses wisely. 

What is all this propaganda about the southern border?

The extremist Republicans want to blame President Biden for the drug related deaths in the USA? 

During the Obama administration El Chappo was arrested and extradited to the USA. President Obama made sure El Chappo was in prison in the USA the very day before he left office after his second term.

Now, the Biden Administration has in custody in the USA El Chappo’s son and I think also his brother.

Two Democratic presidents have done more to end the drug cartel sending fentanyl laced cocaine to the USA than any other president in modern history.

Let’s face it, “Just say no,” could not stop anything.

“Truth Social” is used for Trump propaganda.

Vice President Harris and First Gentleman Doug May demand equal time.

This Jewish religion was rather wonderful to see.

Russia is stealing gold.

(Click here)

The gold Russia is taking belongs to the sovereign country which it came. It is international law that any precious gem or commodity without paying fees to the government is smuggled. In many cases, such as Somalia and countries like Mali that gold is part of sovereign wealth that can be assessed by the World Bank.

In many instances it is illegal to remove gold from a country. This gold in Africa is not like mining gold in Alaska. Finders’ keepers. This gold belongs to the citizens of that country in Africa.

So, now Russia has and is committing genocide, it is illegally smuggling commodities as well. Whomever is receiving those commodities are as much a criminal as those that stole it.

Donald Trump is a very strange man with strange ideas and ambitions. I think what he is promising to whatever Christians listen to Trump, is a formation of a theocracy of which he is Messiah.

I don’t intend disrespect, but, even Jesus never promised his followers that. He spoke about a monotheistic belief. One god, not many as was the practice with the Roman Empire. I doubt the Pope or any other holy man or woman would recognize Trump as the second coming of Christ.

I would say Trump has major mental health issues, but, this is known behavior. I doubt Michael Cohen would ever say he was visited by God when he said once Trump is in the White House he won’t leave.

Donald Trump is first and foremost a malignant narcissist. No one can argue differently as the entire world has witnessed it. Then, he is a conman that seeks to aspire to wealth while cheating others out of theirs. That has also been witnessed in his many bankruptcies, never paying taxes for at least 16 years, robbing the RNC treasury which is absolutely mind blowing, and ventures like Trump University.

Then there is his idea that women can and probably should be raped. The two prominent women no matter what they may believe were Trump’s bragging rights in “having” a Playboy Model and Pornstar. Then there is his voyeurism at beauty pageants and teen pageants. Then there is the rock solid evidence by E. Jean Carroll.

At last, but, hardly least Trump is a criminal. He had to shut down his charity and they still wonder why his life size painting isn’t at Sotheby’s selling for millions.

His criminal record, including indictments, is impressive. It proves exactly the license he gives himself to be self-righteous. No messiah I know of was all that in one person.

Besides, telling people to go and vote is not what a sincere servant of the people does. To quote the Late Senator Ted Kennedy, “ Always ask the voters to vote and then ask for their vote.”

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. My mother said there would be days like this, but, so many?

This is the problem the Republicans are trying to stop, not immigration.

The people of the USA wanted someone to vote for they can trust. They want someone that makes sense, be proud of, and is respected.

That is all they want. Evidently it is all the Democrats want because no one is challenging Vice President Harris.

They loved Joe. The poor debate performance worried them. They are becoming far less worried today. The Dems should have a great convention. Congratulations to still a great party.




This gets real simple from here.

A rebuke is a disciplinary procedure. In the sense of government it is a disciplinary procedure. The U.S. House cannot just wildly and out of political desperation write and pass bills rebuking policies and actions because they don’t like it. It is childish to say the least and pure stupidity at the other end of the spectrum. 

(Click here)

The USA government is NOT A TOY!

President Biden is lawfully the president of this country and he presented a perfectly good bill to Congress proposing immigration reform. The U.S. House played politics for awhile and then rejected it. 

The USA House had a chance to pass immigration reform that matters, but, instead they made immigration their front and center “hate and fear” political stimulus for their cult.

Now, because they have someone running as a Democrat who knows what she is doing and can speak honestly to the problems besetting our immigration system, Trump and his cohorts are scared. So, they are using the levers of government to pass bogus legislation that achieves NOTHING (which they are good at).

They have never moved beyond yelling and screaming about aliens crossing the border. Never once have I seen a meaningful report that can be turned into legislation that solves problems. All the Republicans are doing is using populous ideas to pretend to have power over people’s lives. To begin, they have no right to do that. They are there to solve problems and not carry on like egotistical brats.

IF THEY have any complaints about the Vice President’s findings, the time has long past to state their case when they walked away from meaningful legislated reform.

NOTHING they have to say matters now.





This is illegal use of the U.S. House discipline power.

(Click here)

To begin with Vice President Harris is President of the U.S. Senate and not a member of the U.S. House. As a result an ethics investigation MUST be filed against the current US House Speaker What’s His Name…oh, yeah, Johnson.

Sorry, but, this is some kind of attempt at dictatorial powers that exists nowhere. The U.S. House Speaker cannot unilaterally pull a rabbit out of his hat.

All this is political bull hockey. Who was responsible for even drawing up the document?

Secondly, in order to rebuke a member of the U.S. House there is first an ethics complaint filed followed by an investigation. That takes time to complete. A rebuke is extreme when it comes to any discipline procedure.

Thirdly, any involvement by Vice President Harris in regard to border policy of the USA was taking place with the leaders of the countries from where the border crossers were coming from. She was not tasked to guard the border so much as assess why these people were putting their lives on the line to travel by foot to the USA southern border. 

This act by the Republicans of the US House is illegal use of the USA House to discipline its own members. It is a political stunt and all involved need an ethics review followed by a rebuke or worse as a discipline.

Speaker Johnson is a foolish man to bow to such nonsense. He achieved nothing except more embarrassment of a great legislative body.

Why is it illegal?

BECAUSE IT IS FRAUD right there in broad daylight!





Mideast Peace

Iran has to be at the table along with all the terrorist groups involved with the Iranian Paradigm of Hate.

Today, the USA is optimistic there will an agreement, but, Hamas is belligerent and insists Israel completely withdraw from Gaza. Let’s say in a perfect world that happens and there are absolutely no more hostilities between the two parties and Hamas breaks alliances with others. Will that result in a MidEast Peace?

No.

With the hopes of a ceasefire and hostage return hopeful, other terrorist groups are picking up the slack. The Houthis, an Iranian supplied terrorist group are attacking Israel. They have more than rockets to send over Israel’s border.

Then there is Hezbollah, which is an interesting group, they have a drug industry in Venezuela with the permission of that government at the highest levels. So, Hezbollah is more self-sufficient in some ways. They still are Allie’s to Iran. How bizarre is that? A sovereign power, homeland to an entire religion, has terrorists for allies.

The tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which has headquarters in Lebanon, have been in a conflict for what seems as long as Israel existed, but, it was organized in 1992. The conflict never ends because Hezbollah, like all the other terrorists affiliated with Iran, while stating to be political parties within a country, insist on being armed outside the sovereign power they claim as elected officials. Where does that occur anywhere else in the world? An armed political party that are elected to serve in the sovereign government. Their ally is Iran. Iran is not allied by the sovereign countries these groups exist. 

So, while Israel is recognized by Lebanon and considers itself at peace with Israel, the political party called Hezbollah calls Iran an ally and actively attacks Israel killing civilians. That is bizarre and untenable. In order for a Mideast Peace process to exist and be successful all those terrorist groups and Iran have to be signatories. 

Why is Netanyahu always on the aggressive stance? Why wouldn’t he be?

Then there is this good news, two-thirds of Palestinians not only approve of the October 7th attacks, they would repeat them.

(Click here)

The USA has to be Israel’s ally. There is no choice. There is another sovereign power standing with Israel while Iran is chronically instigating problems. 

Unfortunately, no matter how close an agreement is between Hamas and Israel; for the region; it is just one fire tamped down.

The coal cartel is lying to the courts.

(Click here)

THERE IS NO ENERGY DEFICIT in the USA to continue Republican scorched Earth policies!

Look. The Republicans have done absolutely NOTHING to gather information about carbon sequestration or extracting greenhouse gases from the troposphere to complain against NEW RULES by the EPA that are based in facts since God made little green apples.

I do mean NOTHING, like in DECADES of NOTHING!

And now at the eleventh hour and trying to make campaign fodder to extract money from
the coal cartels the Republicans actually think they have a reason to create greater danger for the citizens of the USA?

Well. After decades of studying the problem if the court throws this to the coal industry then the Roberts’ Court is so corrupt it can’t be trusted or helped anymore.

These exports were passed into law by Republican majorities. Don’t tell me they don’t know they exist.



The epitome of purposeful dysfunction.

(Click here)

Didn’t the Roberts’ Court just publish new ethical standards and regulations in the Federal Register?

It took 4 and a half years for this court to finally issue a new code of conduct (click here). I am fairly certain it had to be published in the Federal Register as new law, too. If it wasn’t, it should have been. The Supreme Court Code of Conduct is an official USA federal standard and needs to be recorded as such.

I read earlier the January 6th Committee is still taking testimony and that is a good thing, especially for Clarence’s wife, Ginny. It would seem she went before the committee and committed perjury.

She stated there are known errors that occurred in the election of 2020.

Really? And, of course, the errors were so voluminous it through the election to the wrong man, right, Ginny?

We know there was some ballot manipulation in North Carolina by a man that would offer to
help the elderly and handicapped by walking their ballots to be deposited in an awaiting ballot box or office or whatever he was calling an official drop off location. We know along the way he would change the ballot and then submit it to be counted. We know about that one. It didn’t amount to a hill of beans difference.

Now, unless Ginny has an earthshaking reality, other than her own; she should return to the committee, apologize to the American people, President Biden, the January 6th committee, perhaps her own lawyer (who of course would never approve perjury for his client) and get the testimony straightened out where she said the presidential election went to the wrong man.

That is good advice, Ginny, and it is free.

But, in this case it would seem as though Justice Kahan has insight to the lack of enforcement clarity of the new standards. Are all the conservative justices sleep walking through life?





A military commission

(Click here)

President Biden has protected the military repeatedly during his time in office where he could. He has honored their service. 

We watched for many months a profound lack of respect for our military when Senator Tuberville placed a hold on promotions, not because there were bad choices, but as a protest against women’s health. 

President Biden during his many months left in office should establish a military commission to examine the damage this caused to our military and find a better process for promotions.

The U.S. Army starts congressional review of promotions just above the level of Warrant Officer. This is crazy. The US Army is the largest branch of the military responsible for continuing the stability of the victories of the other branches. Relying on Congress to protect the U.S. Army promotional status is ridiculous. We trust these people with our country and our lives. We can trust the military with their own promotions. They have their own legal system that can address unfairness in promotions and any record fraud. There is nothing to mistrust. 

Do Americans know how many military promotions were disrespected by Tuberville? A lot. It was imperiling our military. At the very least anyone who left the service because of this should be invited back, with back pay.

If anyone thinks simply adding a requirement for two Senators as needed to stop promotions will solve the problem as a sufficient enough measure, think again. How partisan is this Congress and how extreme is the Tuberville side of the aisle. Tuberville is a couch (AI blooper) (besides a couch potato of a Senator, he was also a coach). He must know the importance of player esteem and team work. Being appreciated for their military service is vital to maintain a lifetime commitment to it.

I sincerely believe promotions should be housed within the branches of service with the exception of the appointment to the Joint Chiefs.

A military commission is more than appropriate. Not only that but the commission should be granted the power to implement the changes without delay (including back pay, which needs to be supplemented in the next congressional budget) or approval of Congress and only a public report of the commission’s process and decision. I think it is vital for the American public to understand how close they came to real danger to our national security. The military should write openly and with complete immunity to any backlash against the commission members for their truthfulness and decisions.

You have to read the fine print.

(Click here) 

These are from Senator Vance’s website. There are plenty of things posted recently while no one was looking that are plenty to worry about, including a quid pro quo to petroleum.

Since when do we classify citizens? Either a person is or is not. There is no classification. I am beginning to see the horizon and voting rights are gone and Gitmo is full of USA classified citizens and their children. 

Please be careful in election choices and polling corruption. Every American has rights. Assert them. If not treated within your rights at your polling places or selection in the type of voting, mail-in, Sunday on the bus, etc. Call the Sheriff and file complaints. He or she doesn’t have to do anything, but, accept the complaint. Write county and state officials referencing to the complaint NUMBER or attempted complaint. It will be up to the prosecutors to decide to litigate, but, write anyway.




Trump won’t debate Harris?

Seriously?

LOL. He’s scared. He can’t lie anymore.

WOW.

(Click here)

This is more than backpedaling. She is being kind. He wants to change venues to a Trump friendly venue. Yes, FOX is Trump friendly and by catering to the worst instincts of Trump and Trumpees they hope to get more viewers back from Truth Social or whatever it is called these days.

Trump likes to feel in control. He is feeling threatened by the change in candidate by the Democrats so he is seeking greater control in a venue he can manipulate through financial methods to corrupt the debates and allow him greater image building.

Trump and his backers aren’t interested in the truth or policy, they want power and the truth has absolutely no place in their paradigm.

The Techi CEOs, with the exception of Zuckerberg, ran to Trump at the bloody, outdoor rally to endorse him. Why? It had nothing to do with anything except power through a trauma bond with audiences. No, it had nothing to do with Trump.

Those that endorse Trump don’t care what he does as president. They believe their endorsement and monies will protect them. They don’t care if he is a good president or a dictator or communist. This is raw capitalism with promises of anarchy. These guys already deal with communists. They don’t care. Musk RAN to China at any ethical judgement about the suitability of a moon station with live personnel. The USA may very well find space stations that protect human life more valuable over a long term investment that place its first station on Mars with sites on interstellar. That is speculation, but, it is reasonable speculation in observing the fine tuning of the USA space program, including increasing interests in exoplanets. Why waste time, money, and human life on dangerous mining interests? The USA has all the rare Earth minerals it will need. The real wealth of minerals is not the moon.

Musk went to Texas to get rid of the need to cater to humanitarian needs and standards. Same thing with China. Same exact value system that attracts capitalists to Trump.

But, that is off track. Trump in running as fast as he can to FOX in a venue change and showing his vulnerability and absolutely shows his strongest character flaws he would say are his best assets. This from a man that failed his own company through multiple bankruptcies and court proceedings where he is a convicted criminal.

Kamala is ready and has been for a lifetime. I am so proud of her. She is magnificent. So is Doug and the family.

The Great Lakes under Trump - No shorelines with heavy ship displacement.


 

The country of Brazil has every right to sue the corporations involved and carbon credit venturists.

What the carbon credit industry has claimed is mostly non-existent from the people I know. The monies have not really reached those that actually know the land and could put productive project in place. There are still people trying to deforest the Amazon with no respect for the lives that rainforest could be saving. I am glad someone finally did the hard work in tracking it all down.

The projects are supposed to support the people that value the forest and not the deforestation of it.

Public protected lands are not up for grabs. It is already supported by the country's citizens because it is highly valued for the reasons it should be valued.

July 24, 2024
By Terrence McCoy, Júlia Ledur and Marina Dias

...They’ve launched preservation projects across the region, (click here) generating carbon credits worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Those credits, in turn, have been purchased by some of the world’s largest corporations. The projects have helped transform the Brazilian Amazon into an epicenter of a largely unaccountable global industry with sales, according to market research, of nearly $11 billion.

But a six-month Washington Post investigation shows that many of the private ventures have repeatedly and, authorities say, illegally laid claim to publicly protected lands, generating enormous profits from territory they have no legal right to and then failing to share the revenue with those who protected or lived on the land. The use of such lands to sell credits also contributes little to reducing carbon emissions....

This is supposed to be the outcomes to carbon credits. Any improvements in the USA are primarily government funded.

The idea carbon credits is the best idea for industries unable or unwilling to change has no basis in fact.

Corporations are just as guilty as the venturists. These corporations have dozens of lawyers and no one bothered to validate the project before they paid their carbon credits? Really? Just completely trust a venturist who has a product in the Amazon that can't be reached by ordinary people or validated by nothing less than drones? And who is carrying out these projects in the waters where Piranhas live? I don't know how many times I asked myself that question, "where is all the carbon credit monies for these projects?"

Yeah, Piranhas might make great pets, huh?

They aren't safe.

Both men are wonderfully brilliant and brave. Now, they both need a pass as soon as possible to Paris for the Olympics with their families or girlfriends.

Why?

Because as soon as this was published they are now revenge targets and they need to be moved for a time where it is safe. Paris is probably more safe than anywhere else in the world right now. Why should we lose two incredibly talented men because they are successful against Putin's continued attempts at genocide?

I realize Yellowstone can be big business for a lot of people…

….it is time to close Biscuit Basin and get some serious geological work done.

(Click here)

You can explain it away in brilliant scientific reasoning but THIS IS NOT GOOD for the public. There is a lot of work to be done here rather than simply repairing the bridge. I do not believe this area is safe for park rangers either.

I’ll explain.




The USA has more than one active National Park right now.


(Click here)

Now, I know any PROPER scientist worth their credentials would never state what I am about to state. But, here we go so hang on to your hat.

We had a major eruption in Hawaii not long ago. With viral videos and the latest gossip about politicians who cares? Me. I really don’t care about viral anything unless it is a strand of RNA gone wild. I don’t really care about the latest gossip about politicians, just the facts, please.

So, not long ago the National Park in Hawaii witnessed an enormous eruption of its volcano that went well outside its “normal” lava flow, caused evacuations, and destroyed homes. That is a pretty big deal I think. So. One wonders, why?

Why would a lazy little volcano so far away from all other volcanoes, in the middle of the Pacific Plate explode like that?

What changed?

Hm?

Ah. The Hot Spot.

See, Hawaii is a chain of islands all sort off lined up in a chain sort of.






Pretty islands, aren’t they?

They are all part of the same underwater mountain range. That mountain range was formed through the processes of volcanization. So. With that comes the understanding there is still a volcano in Hawaii and it is actively building more mountain tops.

What do we know about the Pacific Plate? We know it moves. All Earth’s plates move. They can cause major calamity like tsunamis resultant from earthquakes. So, these tectonic plates are no joke. They are to be taken seriously.

Hawaii is on the verge to adding a new island to the chain and interestingly enough it is very near where the current volcano has caused worry. How can that be? There is still an eruption in Hawaii on occasion. Correct. However. This last eruption shows this volcano is moving off its” Hot Spot” and allowing the new island to grow, erupt through the surface, and spew its own lava down its now visible slopes. Will that occur in this generation’s time on Earth? Probably not.

So, what’s the point?

The point is a major Earth Hot Spot is showing stress. It takes a lot to move a mountain range. If one thinks the stress in this Hot Spot is translating into stress in the mantle layer below Earth’s crust, it would most probably cause pressure at all the vents along Earth’s surface connected to Earth’s mantle. Sort of like having a piece of garden hose with holes to trickle water into a garden. Everything goes along fine until the largest hole becomes blocked. Now the trickle turns into a spurt and the garden may even be ruined.

That water in the hose is Earth’s mantle full of red hot lava. The large hole BECOMING blocked is the Hawaii Hot Spot.

With the Pacific Plate moving and changing its Hot Spot location there is additional pressure in Earth’s mantle. Where does the pressure go? The pressure will seek relief wherever it can find it and that means every volcano that is not significantly blocked will result in concern. 

This is where Biscuit Basin comes in. 

But, first realize there are many volcanic spots all around the world starting to get hiccups. Yes. Now. Yes. At the same time but within days to a week of each other. That is not coincidence. Neither is the INCREASED activity at Biscuit Basin (this has been a growing set of explosions of geyser water). This is the first time rocks came burping out the geyser. But, these massive burps are becoming more frequent.

Biscuit Basin is a part of the Yellowstone Caldera which massive implosion occurred long before we were here. No. I don’t think the pressure in the mantle will become so great that it will spark another caldera. As I stated the new island is growing and once it has established itself over the hot spot, no worries. 

But, what happens until then? 

Until Earth’s Hot Spot has established a new Hawaiian Island there will be more burps all the over Earth. Iceland has especially been surprised to find the little coastal town of Grenyavich needed to be quickly evacuated.

There is much to learn at Biscuit Basin. USGS, as well as other interested scientists with their own specialties need to set up a study station there and make Biscuit Basin into a lab of sorts to better understand the increased activity occurring that alarms tourists on a regular basis. Now is the time and most probably can be an indicator location of mantle disturbances that contribute to what is now uncertainty.

A lot has happened in Yellowstone lately. Some due to climate. But, this isn’t about climate, this is about uncertainty of Earth in a different way.

There is no need to rush reconstruction crews into Biscuit to rebuild a walkway that will only end up the same way again. It is time to give Biscuit to scientists. They must have thought it interesting enough to built the walkway in the first place.

This was a close call and no one was hurt. But, that is only because the geyser was able to dissolve the solid rock. Next time, we might not be so lucky and precious people we should have protected, weren’t.

Yellowstone is not a zoo or amusement park.

People Grow Up!

A face photo would be best. But, this is pure hatred. Have they ever featured Trump as a swindler?  I can. That is definitely Trump as a swindler.




This is only one reasons this administration is great.

(Click here)

Cities are heat islands for several reasons, but, a large contributing factor is concrete. There is a focus that is taking place about concrete sidewalks that is also a health emergency.

Literally, people are falling on concrete sidewalks and getting burned because the surface is 130 F. These burns, no different than other burns, can be life threatening. 

The high tech solution would be to set a sidewalk surface that is heat resistant on top of refrigerator coils. This type of adaptation can be noted in cities with high snow fall and the danger of icey sidewalks, only it is heat coils.

A solution like that takes time to develop, is very expensive, and requires energy. In order for such a system to work without burning fossil fuels it has to powered by wind turbines. These specialized turbines can be small, as tall as 3 to 4 feet and installed all alone by the walkway. The turbines will work, 24-7 and 365 days of the year.

Grants like these empower change and save lives. I am very proud of the hard work the Biden administration has provided all these years. And, as Joe would say, “But, the work isn’t done.”

Indeed.


Misogyny will not be tolerated!

(Click here)

Yes, that is exactly what that is. Nowhere will anyone ever read Keep Calm, Trump headlining an email from “USA Today.”

Memes by the public can be cruel but they don’t need help from a major USA newspaper. Honestly. The last thing I expected today was a slight of Vice President Harris.

ANOTHER THING!

Women are not men and they approach communication differently. They tend to be more gregarious and spontaneous. That isn’t going to change because some bozo newsman or newswoman thinks a woman should be more like a man to lead this country.

So, it is a new standard “you all” are going to have to meet to come close to providing the best possible coverage of a magnificent public official.

Kamala Harris has had decades of experience in leading people, making informed and educated decisions, being an advocate, and FINDING justice for those who never thought they would ever see it.

And, by the way, if she starts to find white hairs on her head due to the stress involved in the highest office in the land, she’ll probably have it colored. That is common practice among women, in case no one but Wall Street noticed.

She has to make her case to the American people,

(Click here)

If Kamala is the party’s choice, she has a wide array of incredibly talented governor’s to be her VP. Some are Red State Governors, like Roy Cooper. North Carolina loves him.

But, this race is the make or break moment for women, their right to health care, equal pay, and the right to decide their own path forward. 

This is a tough race, but, an important one. She needs to let the people know she can take on the presidency with a fantastic cabinet that can help her make that case. Equality is still a huge issue and no one is claiming that territory except her.



I think the President made the right choice.

It is going to be very exciting to see the next generation find the best footing for Democrats.

This, of course, releases all President Biden’s convention delegates free to elect a different nominee. It may take more than one ballot as favorite daughters and sons are nominated. It wil prove to be a very good convention.

So where is the solution?

Society has to reverse engineer its “heat island” infrastructure. The simplest, easiest, and cheapest way is to get rid of the concrete and plant trees along the dirt sidewalks.

There is nothing to know.

I thought I read where the gunman’s father had called the local police about a missing son and missing gun. That was about 100 miles away.

Look, this is the new normal in the USA. A person gets angry about something he picks up a weapon of war and sets out to kill people.

Why should Trump be different than all the other gun violence victims? There is just so much that can be done. Why Las Vegas? Why Buffalo? Why Sandy Hook? Why do any senseless murders happen in the USA?

This was Trump. It gets noticed. How many more murders or shootings happened?

U.S. Conference of Mayors (Click here)

Could additional measures been taken? Sure, there are always measures that can be taken. This 20 year old came out of nowhere. It is time the gun toters reassess where gun ownership is headed besides profits of sales.

If Trump is going to insist on holding outdoor rallies where people are not pre-cleared to attend and magnetometers can’t regulate rooftop assailants, then more will occur. 

Voter registration and encouragement to vote happens at the local level with volunteers that believe in the mission. There are right ways and wrong ways to go about things. If Trump insisted on his way or the highway this is the risk he takes.

My understanding was that the gunman was searching presidential candidates to kill, including President Biden. Why did he settle in Trump? Because Trump was getable.



So Earth’s moon is made of Swiss Cheese.

(Click here)

It might explain why the Luna Landers are sinking into oblivion and why there are moonquakes that threaten the very satellite that orbits delicately around Earth. 

There is no place in a responsible society for exploration of Earth’s moon experiencing quakes. Recently, NASA scrapped still yet another lunar lander that was supposed to explore for ice there. It was the right thing to do. 

This clearly demonstrates that a spacial void is a very delicate organism that requires much more fact finding than Americans have done. 

Mining Earth’s moon is extremely irresponsible. Moons are not planets and this one orbits our only home. 

The absolute proof of the very delicate nature of space is realized in the ease of NASA to move asteroids to a different trajectory than being on the path to colliding with Earth. It didn’t take a hydrogen bomb to achieve it. Not at all. 

Childhood fantasy needs to be set aside in the stark realty of facts. Venture capitalists have been known to make bad investments and need to eat their losses. Additionally, sacrificing one human life to the solar wind is a gross disrespect for life at all.



The Blue Angels at the National Cherry Festival.

It isn’t the best photo in the world, but, these men and women are incredible in their handling of our aircraft.

I am glad this video loaded. This is four of them in an inverted dive. They are flying upside down while diving at high speed. There ain’t nothing they can’t do with a machine.


This is tree top flying around the periphery of a small bay. They were fantastic and fearless. It was delightful and reassuring to witness their precision flying the beginning of July.

They came into town, too. Some had families. They would go over to the midway at the festival. It was good to see them out and about enjoying themselves.

Russia will never have freedom the way the USA does. There is nothing more to know of Russian society or government. 

Evan, in this picture is dying a slow death. It is by design and without respect for human life. This is recreation for Putin. Evan isn’t even given the presence of his lawyer.

Americans need to go home. They are not wanted in Russia.

The war is not proceeding well (click here
) so Putin gets satisfaction in other ways. Contrary to media reports to diminish Biden’s appeal, Russia has loses.

I strongly encourage Western journalists to go home. There is nothing more to learn here. Evan’s life is in the hands of the diplomats.

Monitors

The Democrats have to be prepared to monitor the election in all aspects of the presidential balloting right down the ballot to county clerk. I sincerely believe there is a great deal of corruption that has taken place in these last four years among Republicans.

There is a reason former Secretary Raffensperger is no longer in office in Georgia. He was removed because the Republicans are the last party on Earth that wants a good and honest man making decisions who lives up to his oath of office.

The “Game of 2020” is still in play. While Vice President Harris will be ruling in the Electoral College, the Republicans will proceed to attempt to disrupt and change “the vote” should a Democrat win in November.

Prosecuting wrong doers have meant nothing to the MAGA party, except, to elect a president that remains as corrupt as they see him in order to set those in jail and prison free. Trump is what they believe is their justified liberator. That includes hard core racists who are known to be dangerous men. After they dust themselves off, pick up their bump stock guns, then what? Are they going to be changed men or determined men with their own militias?

These deeply strange problems still exist. Now, through inauguration will be a rough road for the country.

I think Pat Ryan has the most sincere statement.

Joe promised he would only run for one term. I realize the geography is a little scary right now, but, there is a promise to be kept. Others have been preparing during these four years. There are many capable people in the Democratic Party to lead this country. The American people are looking for a capable leader who has confidence in those he lead. I think Joe has to consider those many Democrats that were looking forward to running for president. 

President Biden needs to open his mind and his heart to others in the party that feel differently and may even be hurt by Joe’s broken promise.



What the auroras could do, AI succeeded in doing.

It could be espionage. Probably just AI unable to discern whether the communications belonged in the cloud or on screen.

The Fight Club

I just don’t know why.

Everything according to MAGA is a fight. Next to “That’s unfair,” “fight” has to be a staple in their very vocabulary right next to Amen.

Ya see, Trump is constantly surrendering. He surrenders to China, Russia, and North Korea without a doubt. So, where is the fight?

The best I can tell, the MAGA fight is domestic. We are Trump’s enemies. It is the only fight that makes sense. If Orban is your best friend internationally and he is using Trump to dismantle the USA democracy in the name of PEACE, then the fight certainly isn’t an international focus. The Fight Club of JD and DT is about hate and every other American that isn’t MAGA.

Poor Donald. Life is so unfair.

You have got to be joking. Trump described his encounter with a bullet? He is completely self-absorbed. How many people can’t tell their stories about gun violence. At least one fireman can’t. How many people have PTSD because of gun violence? And instead of discussing gun control, he wants to divide the country and inspire violence as he did on January 6th. How deeply does he hate this country?

He wants vengeance against anyone in the near vicinity because he can’t have vengeance against his would be assassin. Tough to fight a dead man.

Trump is dangerous. He beholding to no one. He used all the RNC money to get this point and now he has what he wants. Everyone is willing to lie for him and do what it takes to put him in office. Trump answers to no one from this point on and everyone answers to him. We have a real problem. No one is standing up to him because he is in control and viewed as a sympathetic figure. What a mess he has created.
