Just what our prisons need, treasonists and seditionists.

White Supremacy doesn't see any difference in living in or out of a jail or prison. It is a continuous timeline. The prison system has to handle them so they cannot victimize innocent people and family not in prison while the inmates have all the time in the world to plot against the government, banks, and businessmen. Perhaps the only way to break the cycle is to deny them access to visitors.

A member of the Oath Keepers militia (click here) has pleaded guilty to engaging in seditious conspiracy during the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and will be expected to testify against the group's leader Stewart Rhodes.

Brian Ulrich, 44, of Georgia pleaded guilty on Friday during a hearing in federal court in Washington DC. He sobbed as the judge warned he could face up to 20 years in prison, though sentencing guidelines call for much less time....

This is a well established underworld in the USA. These are the people Donald John Trump called friends, associates and constituents. It is time to handle this as more than a PERSONAL PREFFERENCE in lifestyles and call it what it is, an underworld that is bonded with racism and freely kills whomever they deem a problem to their population. There are charges that have to be investigated including racketeering. The paradigm has to change. These are people that disregard authority and attempt to make their own world with hatred and violence. Enough of this. These people are open about their identity and their methods. This is more than any civilized society should tolerate. They chronically subvert the values of this country and actively recruit young teens to serve their purpose and propagate the hate.

The prison system has enough on their hands with gang behavior within the system, then add those that don't respect the prison bars and realize they have to reform and use their miserable lives to undermine the decency of American values to create their own power structure to propagate the same hatred they exhibited outside of prison. The judges and the prison system need to invoke measures to separate these people from their enablers outside the prison. They need to accept they are wrong.

Trump’s impossible to climb border wall is killing too many people.

In the Washington Post there is an accounting of a border that is difficult to scale but killing those that try. That is a human rights violation. 

If all we needed was a wall we would not need border patrols. The Border Patrol is in place to apprehend illegal crossers. A wall that kills is anti-American. 

There better alternatives. Southern California has a triple redundant wall and it works to discourage crossing. No wall will be foolproof but there are methods to discourage people from coming to the USA as the only desperate way to save their own lives.

The people trying to scale the wall are making across the Rio Grande but then dying on American soil. Some will applaud at the great feat, but, it is wrong. The Border Patrol are incredible people and love this country, but, are compassionate as well. Cruelty to children is out of the question. 

There are answers to prevent and end border crossing, this wall is a disgrace to the values this country represents to the world.

The USA and President Biden are heroes to the people of Ukraine.

April 28, 2022
Live Updates

President Biden (click here) is scheduled to deliver a speech on Thursday morning from the White House. Russia and the West are preparing for a protracted struggle, after Moscow cut off gas supplies to two countries and as the U.S. and allies rush heavy arms to Ukraine....

I just wish Americans would appreciate President Biden more and realize how he is making the USA a hero to so many other countries. This is literally a moment in history when democracy becomes secure in a world of hate of freedom.

This pivot by Putin comes after the reliquishment by Trump of so many classified documents that communists feel emboldened to run over top of any country in the world that embraces democracy.

THIS IS IT. Everyone needs to understand this is a make or break moment for Russia. If it cannot deliver Ukraine it's global impact will diminish. There are upsides to that and there are downsides, ie: Iran is breaking out of diplomatic solutions to develop it's OWN nukes. The assassination of generals under Trump unleashed the power within Iran to do as it sees fit.

Russia ended petroleum energy solutions to two countries. That is aggression. It weakens the countries infrastructure and prepares them for invasion. Just that simple. It is up to the USA and it's many resources and the USA military to now provide new alternatives to Putin's petroleum. This is a great moment for the USA and it's allies. It sincerely is. 

This is more about freedom and democracy than anyone in The West wants to admit. This is JUST Russia being stupid about it's economy and that potential of a global network of economic strengths. THAT IS NOT IT. This is about ideology and the implementation of means to end democracy and force imperialism on everyone on Earth. 

North Korea, Iran, Syria, China, Russia, etc. are all prepared to unleash "the final solution" on The West and it's many allies. 

Imagine a world where democracy empowers the people and results in sustainable economies for every person on the globe. Just imagine that. Where is the power then that the communists understand and adhere to regardless of it's folly? 

The West has appeased too long to provide for a stable international balance. Putin wants to end international balance and instill dictatorships around the world. Say good-bye to Twitter all together if that happens and enforced and rigid rules will result in oppression and poverty. We are at a boiling point and we also have the best diplomats in the world leading an effort toward peace. The ideology may be cracking and peace may very well result, but, the strength of the USA must be understood and it's agenda of peace and prosperity accepted. 

Communism is like religion to those that practice it. There is no turning back for them. 

President Biden is perfectly placed at this time when so much of our governance and future for our generations to come are at stake. The American people need to appreciate this moment in time and realize how safe they are in his hands. He lived his life for this. Communism can exist, but, it has to exist peacefully and the entire world needs to understand that nukes are not the way into the future, they are nothing more than assured mutual destruction. That is not a national defense, that is a weapon of fear and there is nothing to fear.

It is 6:28 pm on the East Coast of the USA.

Weren't we supposed to be swamped by a geo-electric storm? I thought that was today. Instead, evidently, the space focus of concern is on another asteroid heading our way. 

Okay, then. Maybe I got the dates wrong. I had reading set aside until the power went down. Batteries in flashlights and everything. Hm. 

Aurora borealis tonight, maybe? 

Here we go again, in China.

Stop it at the FIRST CASE, NOT THE MILLIONTH AND FIRST CASE.

An H3N8 strain of bird flu (click here) has been detected in humans for the first time, in China’s central province of Henan.

The four-year-old boy infected had been in contact with chickens and crows raised at his home, according to reports from China’s National Health Commission.

Avian influenza or bird flu as it is commonly known is a highly contagious viral disease with the first reports of human cases in the 1990s.

Some strains of the bird flu, such as with H3N8 now, have been passed to humans but this is currently very rare, and usually occurs after very close contact with infected birds or animals.

H3N8 viruses circulate widely in birds and in horses and have also been detected in dogs in North America.

“We often see a virus spread to a human and then not spread any further so a single case is not a cause of great concern,” said Sir Peter Horby, professor of emerging infectious diseases and global health, University of Oxford....


The USA has been culling infected birds for over a decade now. All this has been policy since "W." The guy got it right when it came to disease and it's end. He really did. There is no excuse for any infectious disease to be migrating into the USA. We have our own problems

By Katie Wermus

More than 22 million chickens and turkeys (click here) have been culled in the U.S. since February due to an outbreak of avian influenza, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Avian influenza cases have been confirmed in at least 24 states in both backyard and commercial flocks, the USDA reported. Once an animal is detected to have bird flu, the flock is killed in order to prevent the disease from spreading. The virus currently poses a low risk to the public, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Since the beginning of the avian influenza outbreak in February, prices at the grocery store have risen. The cost of eggs has increased 52 percent since cases were first reported, with a dozen eggs now costing an average of $2.88. If additional birds continue to become infected, prices could rise even higher, according to ABC News....

Rand Paul, get a clue!

The world was with us then as it is now. There is no doubt about the deaths of innocent people and Russia is to blame. End of discussion.

The day human atrocities are allowed is the day we will all become victims.

I believe it was Former President George W. Bush that stated people inherently want freedom and they seek it when opportunity presents itself. The Post Soviet states made their decision and they have been hated by Russia since. Hate in carrying out war and violence against others can never be tolerated.

Russia brought in portable crematories into Ukraine. What can ever be in question? They wanted to hide the genocide.

RUSSIA WAS NOT INVADED. RUSSIA WAS NOT THREATENED. THERE IS NO LESSON HERE, THERE IS ONLY ENDING THE AGGRESSION AND RETURNING TO PEACE. RUSSIA BROKE THE PEACE, NO OTHER COUNTRY DID.

This war was launched on a date without a plan because Putin believed the time was right. There has been nothing but suffering since.

There will be no revisionist history. 

 

She let her guard down.

This is really a great picture of Vice President Harris, by the way.

April 26, 2022
By Jasmine Wright, Maegan Vazquez, Betsy Klein, Kevin Liptak and Ted Barrett,

Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday after returning from a weeklong trip to California.

"Today I tested positive for COVID-19. I have no symptoms, and I will continue to isolate and follow CDC guidelines. I'm grateful to be both vaccinated and boosted," Harris tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Kirsten Allen, the vice president's press secretary, said in an earlier statement that Harris tested positive for Covid-19 on rapid and PCR tests. Harris "will isolate and continue to work from the vice president's residence," Allen said.

"She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules. She will follow CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians. The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative," she added....

This episode by the Vice President is exactly why I still wear a mask. But, I will also point out the vaccine and it's boosters are working.

Governor Newsome has basically left it up to Californians to discern their use of precautions. He has slowly removed mask mandates for citizens within California borders knowing the hospitals currently can effectively and without shortages treat those exposed to the virus and are in danger of profound illness that is life threatening. People are still dying of this lousy virus.

I believe every Governor and the President has acted in concern for the SINGLE CITIZEN that is vulnerable. The majority that can be healthy, such as Vice President Harris, in the face of an infection want to be able to live their lives and that is a health directive as well. Activity is important to maintain good health.

Lifting the mask mandates does not mean there is no danger. It means citizens are well educated enough about precautions to decide if a mask in their life is necessary. I still wear mine and practice social distancing and hand hygiene. I think all those things are still important to my well being which include all four jabs of vaccine and booster.

As to the Vice President, she was in California where she feels most at home and in many pictures she is without a mask and closely distanced. That was her choice. She became infected and we know that the virus is adapting all the time and exposure is unpredictable to outcomes of the victim at this point. I would like to see her set the best example, but, she is a human being no different than any other American and being at home among friends feels good. 

I am mostly relieved she is in good health and that the vaccines work. I wish her and her family wellness and happiness. I thank her for her dedication to the country and it's diverse people.

This is no way to decide a vote.

The outfit that puts this ageism propaganda together really doesn't care about the facts. Allow me to help.

Peter Doucy is probably correct about those apprehended at the USA southern border as terrorists. Mr. Doucy goes on to criticize the Biden Administration that gives the listener the idea there are terrorists crossing the border all the time and Americans need to live in fear of the border policies of President Biden.

"W"rong.

Encounter data includes U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Title 8 Apprehensions, (click here) Office of Field Operations (OFO) Title 8 Inadmissibles, and Title 42 Expulsions for fiscal years (FY) 2020, 2021, and 2022. Data is available for the Northern Land Border, Southwest Land Border, and Nationwide (i.e., air, land, and sea modes of transportation) encounters...

These were actual contact and not estimations for the record. What the graph shows below are illegal encounters by "type" (click here). There is no specific listing for "terrorist." Why? Because it wouldn't even show up on the graph as a dot, that's why.

According to this data, there were 1,735,686 illegal immigrant encounters in 2021. According to Doucy there were something like 23 on the terrorist watch list. As a percentage of the encounters resulted in terrorist apprehensions there were 0.0013. To be clear that was 0.0013 percent of the population of encounters that were terrorists.

The USA Border Patrol is awesome. They were able to FIND AND APPREHEND 23 terrorists at the USA southern border when the chances of that is sincerely zero.

The word terrorist is explosive and is intended to instill fear. Why did 911 happen? Because no one expected it. The FBI had their eyes on the terrorists of September 11, 2001, but, there was dearly little action taken against them because of the FBI's respect for privacy. As it worked out, the terrorists were actually terrorists and deadly killers. The FBI was so close to controlling the actions of terrorists and possibly apprehending them because the 20th terrorist never made it to the airport and give away the plot. The FBI is that good, but, they need to be better in the permission to apprehend, question and detain. Those recommendations can only apply to our law enforcement agencies and with the organized and statistical data from the Director, currently that would be Director Wray.

The problem here is of course illegal immigration and border crossings (click here). But, there is also another problem and that is instilling fear into the American voter when there is very little to fear in order to drive the vote to extremist agendas.

Alex Nowrasteh (click here) of the Cato Institute offers nonpartisan facts in response to common myths about immigration

I am sure if I posted the Brookings Institute their facts would be similar, but, since there is a right wing bias against them why give Americans are reason to think differently. IT IS JUST POLITICS, RIGHT?

The outfit putting together the videos regarding ageism and neglect of the national security of the American people need to be sued for their slanderous editing to achieve hatred of the candidate. They have a symbiotic relationship with Doucy. I am sure he is not compensated, but, he never disavows the conclusions of the videos. Worse than that he NEGLECTS the real truth in his questions intended to victimize American voters to have them feel vulnerable.

I am not placing responsibility of the media to educate the voters and force them into voting a certain way. I criticize any media if I find disagreement with them. But, if newspapers want to understand why their circulations have been hit so hard of the recent decades it is because THE AMERICAN VOTER IS LAZY AND DOESN'T DO THEIR READING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH.

Nothing like the "Morning Paper" with the first meal of the day and tucked under the arm for break times at work.

Americans have become so intent on political ads to decide their vote, they are in terrible condition to make the best choices. The media needs to do better in presenting the excellence in our country and it's democracy. That does not mean censorship at all. The American people need to gather the truth, especially in reporting, and decide their vote and not SURRENDER THEIR VOTE to the most money spent on political ads.

The video below is illegitimate and is also chronic in it's insistence that the age of President Biden is in question when it comes to making executive decisions. I don't find that an issue, I find the judgement of him abusively harsh. This video is an example of it.

Great for a school assembly (click here). It is primarily an unspoken truth in schools. Why?

At first, it wasn’t obvious that anything was amiss. (click here) Kids are naturally curious about the complicated world around them, so Joanna Schroeder wasn’t surprised when her 11- and 14-year-old boys recently started asking questions about timely topics such as cultural appropriation and transgender rights.

But she sensed something off about the way they framed their questions, she says — tinged with a bias that didn’t reflect their family’s progressive values. She heard one of her sons use the word “triggered” in a sarcastic, mocking tone. And there was the time Schroeder watched as her son scrolled through the “Explore” screen on his Instagram account and she caught a glimpse of a meme depicting Adolf Hitler.

Schroeder, a writer and editor in Southern California, started paying closer attention, talking to her boys about what they’d encountered online. Then, after her kids were in bed one night last month, she opened Twitter and began to type....

The Kentucian was wise enough to not be photographed with Butina regardless of the NRA contribution to Rand Paul of $104,446 to his political campaign (click here). The NRA was being clever to give the biggest contributions to the GOP candidate most likely to lean into gun laws.

Genocide doesn't need a reason except hate. Indeed, the Senator was well paid for by Russian Dark Money  through the NRA. Even today, after January 6th, Rand Paul feels an obligation to blame Ukraine for the genocide of it's own people.

Sen. Rand Paul (click here) on Tuesday received fierce pushback from Secretary of State Antony Blinken after the Kentucky Republican said that Ukraine was "part of Russia" during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

Paul said there was "no justification" for Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, but added "it does not follow that there's no explanation for the invasion." The GOP senator cited Russia's qualms with Kyiv's NATO ambitions, which have not advanced in 14 years, and accused the Biden administration of "beating the drums to admit Ukraine" to the alliance.

Blinken rejected Paul's suggestion that the administration was "agitating" for Ukraine's NATO membership, stating that the US was "standing up" for the alliance's open door policy and "a basic principle that one country can't dictate to another the choices it makes about with whom it allies."...

This is interesting. And everyone thinks it is "just politics." The Republicans were circumventing sanctions and we wonder why they don't matter. Traitors. I can't help but wonder if Paul voted against the sanctions and why?

By now, (click here) practically everyone has seen that picture of the two guys at President Trump's weekend rally in Ohio wearing T-shirts that said: "I'd Rather be a Russian than a Democrat!"

Many have also seen the visuals of Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul hobnobbing in Moscow this week with members of the Russian Council, sometimes called his "counterparts." These included the chairman of the council's foreign policy panel, Konstantin Kosachev, who happens to be under official U.S. sanction for his government's actions against our government.

But that didn't seem to bother Paul, who invited Kosachev and others to visit the USA.

Indeed, this sanction and other tokens of disapproval imposed on Russian officials in the past year have not seemed to chill the enduring warmth between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump. Paul carried a handwritten note from Trump to Putin on his trip....

Moscow - Sen. Rand Paul (click here) on Monday invited Russian lawmakers to Washington after meeting Russian members of parliament in Moscow.

“I am pleased to announced that we will be continuing this contact,” Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said in Moscow. “We agreed and we invited members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Russia to come to the US to meet with us in the US, in Washington.”

Paul is in Moscow meeting with Russian lawmakers in a trip he sees as a continuation of US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic outreach to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and comes several weeks after Trump invited Putin to DC as well. Paul has been one of Trump’s most outspoken supporters following the criticism Trump faced – including from some within his own party – for the US President’s handling of his meeting with Putin in July. During a news conference in Helsinki at the time, Trump declined to back the conclusion of the US intelligence that Russia interfered with the US presidential election over Putin’s denials, though Trump later said when he was back in the US that he misspoke....

Most Western countries as well as communist Russia has right wing extremists. The Azov Battalion are the ones that took on the hardest fight for the people and land of Ukraine in Mariupol.

In a plush Italian restaurant (click here) halfway between Red Square and Russia’s parliamentary building, Maria Butina, an MP with President Putin’s ruling party, sipped green tea and spoke of Nazis.

A former gun rights activist, Butina, 33, made headlines in 2018 when she was convicted by an American court of conspiring to infiltrate Republican circles. Her case became a cause célèbre for Moscow, which alleged the charges were politically motivated and aimed at undermining a summit between Putin and President Trump. She served 15 months in prison....

Within hours of last month’s deadly white supremacist rally (click here) in Charlottesville, the national media descended on the small northern Kentucky city of Florence, where alleged murderer James Alex Fields grew up.

This was not the first time a national spotlight shone on Kentucky in the wake of racially-motivated violence.

Hate groups have long called Kentucky and the region home — from the days when white supremacists influenced state and local government, to 11 years ago, when Ku Klux Klan members beat a young man nearly to death at a county fair, to today.

“For white supremacists, they view (Kentucky and) Appalachia, wrongly, as a place where there are white folks who are very independent, don’t like the government and who are sympathetic to their messages,” said Heidi Beirich, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center....

On Sept. 1 and 2, 1859, (click here) telegraph systems around the world failed catastrophically. The operators of the telegraphs reported receiving electrical shocks, telegraph paper catching fire, and being able to operate equipment with batteries disconnected. During the evenings, the aurora borealis, more commonly known as the northern lights, could be seen as far south as Colombia. Typically, these lights are only visible at higher latitudes, in northern Canada, Scandinavia and Siberia.

What the world experienced that day, now known as the Carrington Event, was a massive geomagnetic storm. These storms occur when a large bubble of superheated gas called plasma is ejected from the surface of the sun and hits the Earth. This bubble is known as a coronal mass ejection....

It is a magnificent video. Whoever released it, thank you. She was wonderful in her own right.

Why haven't the politics changed in 18 long years?


 June 2004

That is nearly a generation. No one should be standing aside in this fight to end the heating of the only planet this generation has for their lives.

This is outrageous and ridiculous. The cost impact on Middle Class families is an assault against democracy.

Putin's justification holds no water.

The primary reason Putin is warring is because he is believed to be the savior of terrified Russians that believe the world hates them, hence, the continued assault on eastern Ukraine. Putin states the mass graves are due to the genocide by Ukraine. That is the furthest from the truth because no one is demanding the death of Russians. There is no counter hatred that exists with Ukrainians. They only long to go home.

Those around the globe seeking to protect Ukrainians and empower their sovereign right, are not reporting the deaths of civilians, but, only the Russian military deaths. There is that stake difference. There are no Russian civilians dying.

There is no fact that speaks to Vladimir Putin's hatred of Russian speaking Ukrainians.


The Proud Boys proxy is referred to by Thomas Markle. That is interesting.

It looks like Prince Charles is correct. I guess that is why he is to be King Charles. When Prince Harry and his family visit the UK, it might be a circus. It seems it has started already. I think Prince Harry will have to be more covert in his ambitions to visit the Queen as family rather than royals.

Thomas Markle (click here) has blasted Prince Harry as an 'idiot' and agreed that he is 'whipped' by Meghan - while announcing his intention to visit the UK for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. 

In an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News, Mr Markle, 77, revealed he will be flying to London in June in an attempt to reunite with daughter Meghan and meet Harry and his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet for the first time. 

Mr Markle, who did not attend the wedding of Harry and Meghan in 2018 as he was recovering from heart surgery and has had a strained relationship with the couple, said he also hoped to repair their relationship....

Winning against Republicans in the USA should not be that difficult.

Just picture them with bald heads. The Skinheads never run their own candidate, they use Republicans as a proxy and Republicans love the votes.

Youngkin proved how covert they can be.

Republicans are always a proxy for White Supremacists/Nationalists. They like to call it "the silly season" when they pander to them for a vote. It isn't really silly at all. It translates into votes that bring about racism in our politics where it does not belong at all.

White Supremacy is not a religion, it is hate. It is not protected speech, it is hate speech.

India may have found a better treatment for COVID-19 than Remdesivir

Ad for allergy relief (click here)

Always consult a physician before starting any new medicine. Please. Be sure the oral form will perform as expected. There is a big difference in the way medication is absorbed if taken orally.

Montelukast, used to reduce inflammation caused by conditions like asthma, hay fever and hives, has been found effective against Covid-19.

It is being hailed as a preventative as well as a treatment. For children, if it is possible, it goes to the heart of the inflammation reaction they suffer.

The Indian Institute of Science, (click here) Bengaluru scientists have conducted a study that revealed that Montelukast- a drug used for the treatment of Asthama has the potential to stop Covid variants from replicating within the body of the infected. 

For people with inadequate immune systems, this can be good news.


The study was published in the journal eLife. The study states that "montelukast sodium hydrate can be used as a lead molecule to design potent inhibitors to help combat 
SARS-CoV-2 infection." Montelukast, used to reduce inflammation caused by conditions like asthma, hay fever and hives, has been found effective against Covid-19.

Latest assessment of Russia's genocide of Ukraine

Approximately 15,000 Russian soldiers dead on Ukraine soil and dearly few of Putin's goals have been realized. Vladimir Putin should abandon his wishes for genocide and leave Ukraine. The country has to heal after the worst rampage of all modern time.

The French presidents, Emmanuel Macron, and Russian, Vladimir Putin, during a press conference at the Kremlin, in Moscow, Monday, February 7, 2022.

It is rare (click here) for international news to find such an echo in a French election. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which began on February 24, will have impacted the presidential campaign and placed the question of relations with Vladimir Putin at the heart of the debates in the second round. As war returns to Europe, the subject has become a fault line between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen.

The conflict has delayed the start of the Head of State's campaign. Both before and after the outbreak of hostilities, Emmanuel Macron has sought, in vain so far, to mediate between Moscow and kyiv. His voluntarism was initially rather well perceived by public opinion, before showing its limits, as the fighting dragged on.

For Mr. Macron, the dialogue with the Kremlin remains justified by the concern to find a way out of the war and to restore, in the long term, the European security order, brought to the ground by the Ukrainian conflict. However, telephone conversations with Vladimir Putin were interrupted between the two towers, due, explains the Elysée, to the discovery of the atrocities committed against civilians in the localities once occupied by the Russian army in the kyiv region, such as Boucha. "Macron no longer has much interest in spending his time on the phone with Putin, while the French have the impression that it is useless" , observes Sébastien Maillard, the director of the Jacques Delors Institute....
