What happens with “knee jerk” policy making?

Flint.

Be prepared to end any state of emergency Trump may declare upon entering office. If President Biden sees no reason for a national state of emergency, the reason Trump would institute one is for the power, no valid reason.

If I was president and wanted to declare a national state of emergency, hated every minority in the USA, and was a religious bigot; I’d declare the emergency at the southern border. That would give the president the right to order a round up anyone be felt was a threat and deport and/or imprison them. Texas has a lot of room for big internment camps.

Putin turned terrorist.

Did you see that in the news? Russia’s Putin took a page out of bin Laden’s playbook. He has plans of sending explosives through DHL into jets flying into the Free World.

He was found out. No surprise that he was found out. 

DHL is a magnificent cargo company.

Hello?

The politics of fear.

Trump is making all sorts of radical statements and promises in order to
attract voters after his media and minions have driven deep seated fear into their audience.

Should he be given a second term the best approach is to oppose or some like the word resist ANYTHING that comes out of the White House. Those measures will be based in hysteria, basically.

Trump’s carrying on can be called fear, but, fear is something one experiences for real danger. Even the worst slasher movies are about unexpected alarm leaving a feeling of wow I won’t go into a motel for the next hundred years (thinking about the Bates Motel).

Trump creates hysteria. It is fear based in urgency. That is not realistic at all in the USA. Federal and state policies have always been grounded in reality and research.

So, if one is voting with feelings of anxiety, fear, or dread; I encourage a step back from those feelings, a deep breath, and a return to calm before making serious decisions. I am not saying to immediately change your mind, but, only to make those decisions well, rationally, and with a degree of calmness that gives a sense of happiness at the decisions made.

Happy voting.

Fluoride in water.

There is no sound proof that fluoride in drinking water in the USA at 0.7 mg per liter will cause any harm to people. The standard has existed since 1945. The American people are well. The research that has been done and peer reviewed has only moderate confidence on the findings.

The issue is with international standards that are more than double of the USA standard. This concern is in relation to pregnant women and the effect on infants when exposed to higher levels in water. The international standards are recommendations and have been lowered. Some countries are still administering amounts that could easily be adjusted down without causing harm.

The ideas surrounding all these complaints about ESTABLISHED standards is more politics than any valid concern. No one should be signing a presidential executive order the first day in office to ban fluoride in drinking water.

The best approach to changing long standing policy when it comes to health in the USA is to hand the question to the National Institutes of Health and require research to validate the health benefits and any adverse effects if they exist. To completely disrupt a long held health practice in this country is extremely irresponsible and dangerous.

Internationally if the USA is recording adverse outcomes from higher levels of fluoride in the drinking water it can make strong recommendations through the UN and/or the World Health Organization. 

Kennedy and Trump’s point of view is too extreme and if enacted needs immediate lawsuits to stop it until more is known about the important well being of the American people. Their approach is marred with unfounded fear.

There is simply no solid research to
cite for this blog post. Thank you for your kind attention.

Debt relief won’t come under Trump.

(Click here)

Why is there such a difference between Democratic and Trump budgets? Come on you know this. Who receives the greatest relief under Democrats? The Middle Class. What happens when the Middle Class does well? The revenue to the Treasury increases. What happens when the revenue increases? There is less of a deficit to add to the national debt, AND,…AND…come on you know this…AND important programs like Social Security, Medicare, and funding to the USA military is safe.

What is going to happen when President Harris passes her programs? Who will benefit the most? Yes, the Middle Class and Lower Middle Class. They will move up in income and benefits contributing to the USA Treasury revenue as well as their own financial security and the American Dream. 

WHERE DOES THE FUTURE OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY LOOK MOST PROMISING? 

You know this in your heart.

President Kamala Harris.

Volkswagen

I believe it’s Chattanooga plant is gearing up to build EVs. It looks like a really tough vehicle. It is called the “Scout.” It is expensive, but, what vehicle these days aren’t. Looking forward to have the Scout roll if that assembly line. Thank you, Chattanooga.

Concrete

It is only as good as the land it sits on. It is not a replacement for a mountain. Trees will grow through it, crack it, and render it useless. 

The land has to be stable.

It is dangerous business.

I imagine folks think it sounds silly that a mountain can be unstable, but, there was a lot of disruption to those mountains when tons and tons of wind and gravity driven water came out of the sky.

Water is heavy. I was in the thick of it when the periphery of Floyd hit Wilmington, North Carolina. Floyd returned Wilmington to its former island status, but, Floyd was nothing like Helene. The water came out of the sky and buckled my knees when I first waded into 18 inches of flood waters to begin to move all the vehicles the family owned. The weight of the water from above is what buckled my knees not the still flooding waters.

To realize the level of devastation by Helene is to understand what water can do to an entire region of the country. I have been in those mountains and they were beautiful and the people as well. It is hard to write these things, but, many people died and I dearly don’t want to have it happen again.

The CEOs from IT can take a piece of ownership of the mine. They need to take an interest. The country is supplying its best people to do all the heavy lifting. The Army Corp is the best and they are ready. There is no waiting with their readiness.

Let’s do this thing!

The Army Corp needs to concentrate on the mine.

Link: https://youtu.be/ag-hb45J6MQ?si=E0IA4-mptNnK45nz

It appears this area may have the highest death toll and the residents know it is going to be a difficult and long term recovery of bodies.

The woman in the video appears to have become a community organizer. She is wonderful. Very frustrated, but, that is completely understandable. The National Guard is invaluable in this area.

The big concern for national security is the silica mine. She speaks to it. The problem is whether or not the area can be made safe and stable to continue the mine operation. The IT industry needs to supply much needed monies to assist in the recovery of this area and especially the mine. It is okay if CEOs are heroes this time. The country has its hands full already. The IT guys can probably assist in assessing the instability in the area in working with the Army Corps maps and expertise.
The response in these areas is enormous, both public and private.

The U.S. Army Corp. has help.

To begin the devastation of Helene is more than any current government entity can deal with alone. Conservation Corps are required to save lives. However, rebuilding in these areas of NC and Tennessee are in question.

This is a link to one of the films by Mr. Mark Huneycutt. He is a very brave, rather brilliant surface geologist and the Army Corp should task his insight.

Link: https://youtu.be/dC35v2I73LY?si=f7ScE1UsKCOJzEEr

The link shows the headwaters of a small meandering creek turned into an enormous mudslide. The “thing” is this: These lands at the headwaters are highly unstable areas. They are continuing to be highly unstable. Rebuilding in this entire area is out of the question. There is no way of stabilizing these mountain areas now that they have been devastated and loosened from former stability. 

THESE MOUNTAINS, for as beautiful as they are, ARE COMPLETELY UNSTABLE to think anyone within them, or near them are safe going forward. 

There were whirlpools of mud and debris where creeks met each other. The land is permanently altered. If storms of any intensity roll through the devastation and erosion will continue. The entire area should be condemned from redevelopment. It will be a century before these mountains can be considered even close to stable. There were enormous rockslides. Trees were shredded. SHREDDED.

Mr. Honeycutt could present his findings to the public to facilitate understanding. He is great.

“Citizens United” was a moronic decision.

This is how the PACS are spending money. This garbage comes every single day. It has done nothing but hurt this democracy. The PACS are throwing money away. It is a trash can full of mailers at postal boxes. 

Can we please stop the hatred and bigotry? By the way, Trump would probably take the money. He has no allegiance to anyone.

Those Supreme Court judges are ripping this country apart. They are far too political in their decisions and cause division.





As a for your information…

…a true billionaire now owns a full one third of “Sirius XM.” I find that interesting.

Why journal life?

(Click here)

The Revolutionary War started in 1775. The Declaration of Independence was written the following year. What galvanized the 13 diverse colonies to pursue freedom?

“…deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed….”

It is a theme Americans have embraced for nearly 250 years (click here). It is the Declaration of Independence that this nation of people celebrate every July 4th.

Everyone that cares about their freedom should journal daily to ensure it.

It is who we are.



This is happening all over the world.

The reason the Free World is not hearing of tragedy occurring in communist counties is because they have no journalists to share these stories anymore. Their reporters are only allowed to publish propaganda. 

(Click here)

These people reacted exactly the same as Americans. They were in disbelief of the severity of the climate.

Everyone was told for decade after decade of this outcome. People, no matter where in the world they are, don’t learn from such scientific insights. They only learn in the here and now. Politics has interfered with the best outcomes for climate. There are political leaders such as Trump that simply don’t care about the people and only focus on power issues such as money and “drill, babe, drill.” 

Given these continued climate deaths, the abuse of Earth regardless of what we know, and huge numbers of deaths due to COVID-19, there is more magical thinking in the vapors of living than logic to bring about a practical world rather than a dreamscape of power and wealth. I have always been astounded by how willing adults are to look away from the truth to favor fantasy. That to me is just bizarre and being a sheep over the cliff of life.

I am sorry to hear of these tragedies, but, they were and are inevitable without leaders that believe in the truth and govern accordingly.

Leaders are supposed to lead and disdain the corruption of the best path forward. Doesn’t anyone believe in a child’s future anymore?

Police are supposed to know better.

(Click here)

She was a beautiful woman both inside and out. What Brett Hankison did was nothing short of a drive by shooting into a home. It could happen to anyone, especially if police are allowed to be this sloppy about police work.

(Click here)

Breonna Taylor was doing everything right. She cared about herself, had a foot on the path to success, and was in love quite possibly into a lifetime relationship. She did nothing wrong and was living on the right side of the law when all hell broke loose. 



Journal

Kindly keep a personal journal if Trump finds his way back into the White House.

Personal journals can become legal documents when a population of people are experiencing the same adverse dynamics of authority.



He is a very sick man.

(Click here)

Donald John Trump has no respect for life except his own. We know that when he hates people, especially women, there are minions within his influence that will seek to carry out deadly acts against those Trump hates. 






















Former USA House Representative Elizabeth Cheney comes from a family that has influenced the politics of this magnificent country. They contributed enormously to the cultural tilt that brought the Republican Party its following for decades. Former Second Lady Lynne Cheney has circled her wagon many times to the enjoyment of Republican women all over the country. I believe she is an author as well. To realize how completely insane such words are during a presidential election campaign is stunning.

Of course Trump means every word. He relishes deaths he promotes. I am certain Former Speaker Pelosi never received a word of concern from the Trumps regarding her spouse’s attack and continuing recovery. Trump never came out to denounce such an act or saw to a deescalation by his minions’ hatred of “ the other.” Quite the contrary he is escalating fear and hate of “the other” no matter what firm it takes. He is always impressed with his own importance. 

The Former Representative Cheney and her family need protection now that Trump’s campaigning has TARGETED her as his enemy. 

He is one sick man that never deserved the office of the President of the United States of America. He is a student of Putin and this is another example.

When will he be charged with the deaths from COVID-19 of innocent people in this country? He caused deaths, especially among people believing his words that it was a hoax and attended COVID parties to prove it, only to die of the virus afterwards with death bed pleadings to others to think differently.

This country has never had such a horribly sick man in a campaign for the highest seat in our government. He is at the very least disgusting but more sincerely should be locked up with the criminally insane. He knows nothing of power and how to bring benevolence with it. He is drunk on his own evil.

Imagine the USA without “Citizens United?”

(Click here)

That is what will occur if there was ever a king of the USA. The would be no FEC or election law interference. It also means a huge shift in paradigms across all aspects of life.

What an autocrat at the top of any government does is remove opinion. 

It not only removes thought about elections but also critical thinking. There is a reason why democracies in the Free World are the strongest. It is because citizens are always engaged in the future and its best outcomes. 

This election isn’t just about who wins or loses, but, about the entire dynamic that moves this country.

Finally, someone is taking on these bozos.

I have never bought anything from it. Never will. They have terrible things they say on their T-shirts and treat women as sex objects. 

Their ads are always popping up. I never open them because they are probably full of viruses compliments of the Chinese military.

If I want to shop online I go looking for what I want. All this spontaneous cheap garbage is very annoying. Knowing China the site is probably a testing ground for cyber warfare.
