The Ole Switcheroo: The Tradition Continues This year's primary season for the Democratic Party nomination was never truly completed. Some states never even reported the delegate count for each candidate. The presumptive winner of the Democratic Party presidential nomination is Joe Biden who has "Appointed" as his running mate Kamala Harris. It now appears that the VP running mate is the presumed presidential nominee. How many delegates did Kamala Harris win in her run for the Democratic nomination? The Democrats have managed to appoint a presidential candidate without the support of its party affiliated membership. Where is the democracy in the Democratic party? #BidenHarris, #HarrisBiden, #AlwaysAssumeTheOpposite, #TheirIsAlwaysATell https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/15/donald-trump-joe-biden-says-harris-biden-because-he-thinks-kamala-harris-is-president/

Global Warming, Endangered Species, and Forest Fires: The Irony Of It All The root cause of all these wildfires can be found in the lack of proper #ForestManagement. The attempt to protect and save #EndangeredSpecies has resulted in policies that do not allow for the removal of dead wood and rough scrub from the forest. This in turn creates an environment where forests are easily ignited. The result. The destruction of the habitat for every species in the forest and placing massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. The carbon takes the form of #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere. Ironic. Ignorance and Arrogance has consequences. #GlobalWarming, #ForestFires, #WildFires, #California, #Oregon, #Washington https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/fires-map-tracker.html?name=styln-california-wildfires&block=storyline_menu_recirc&impression_id=2d22e760-f473-11ea-ab17-018ad77b4fd2&variant=undefined

The Clash of Civil Rights and Government Authority: Qualified Immunity vs. Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law When will there be a serious public dialog on the accountability of the use of authority in violation of the Rights of the Citizen .

Is the DC Local Government Constitutionally Legal? The District of Columbia is a federal district. Meaning that it is not a state. It is under the authority of the federal government. Thus Congress is responsible for the laws governing the #DistrictofColumbia and the executive branch is responsible for administering those laws. Has Congress violated the Constitution in establishing a local government outside its jurisdiction? Shouldn't the effective Mayor of the District of Columbia be appointed by the chief of the executive branch? Can anyone name a federal property or reservation that falls under local jurisdiction? Something to consider. Have we allowed an #UnconstitutionaGovernment to operate within the United States? #MonumentRemoval, #WashingtonMonument, #JeffersonMonument, #DCTaskForce, #TheConstitution, #FederalDistrict https://nypost.com/2020/09/02/dc-task-force-targets-washington-monument-dozens-more/

Technology, The Information Age, and Perception: C-010 Coronavirus - The Perception of Fear If this story is true and the characterization is accurate, how much of what we are told has any basis in fact? Months of #Hysteria, #Inaccuracies, and #Omissions only to discover that fear of what we are told is more dangerous and powerful than the actual things we are afraid of. This does not only address #Coronavirus, but also those other public dialogues offered as news and public service. How many of us will question our own perceptions of what we consider to be the truth? Even the statistical data could be factually incorrect. #Technology, #InformationAge, #Perception, #COVID19, #CDC, #IsThisPublicService https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/shock-report-week-cdc-quietly-updated-covid-19-numbers-9210-americans-died-covid-19-alone-rest-serious-illnesses/

The Nobility of Reason and Value Nobility - The state or quality of being exalted in character. The human attributes which have built all civilization are reason and value. Reason is the ability to determine what is #SelfEvident about nature and the environment in which we find ourselves. It is also the ability to apply what is self-evident to one's benefit. #Value is the measure in which we interact. Offering of one's abilities or resources in exchange for another's abilities or resources. #Commerce. The exchange of value for value. Much of the public dialogue today is asking us as a civilization and as a people to abandon these qualities on which for thousands of years we have so much relied. It is an ignoble approach to the real problems and perceived problems that we must address. #Feelings are used in place of reason. #Greed is used in place of value. We have abandoned reason and value for #Irrationality and #Altruism. The language of division and jealousy are the tools of this philosophy. They are going completely against the founding principles of this nation. Where the characteristics of value and reason should be the focus. Dialogue has moved to attributes that are all focused on the accidents of birth. There is no choice in one's genetic makeup. Reason and value are attributes one can give oneself. It is only a matter of endeavoring to place the importance of these attributes within ourselves and recognize them in others.

The Illegal Use of Gag Orders Time and time again we find government not staying within the boundaries the we have established for them. Issuing gag orders on a trial yet to come is a violation of the #5thAmendment. Those accused have the #PresumptionOfInnocence and therefore their civil rights should not be curtailed by the prosecuting attorney or a judge. The concept lost on many is that a criminal trial is the process by which a person's #CivilLiberties are suspended or permanently removed based on a sentence that has been authorized by a #TrialByJury. Until such time as that jury decision is made, everyone is entitled to the full scope of their #CivilRights and personal #Liberty. #GagOrders https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/corrupt-prosecutors-sdny-threatening-gag-orders-steve-bannon-brian-kolfage-even-media-personalities-support/

Has anyone thought to contact the Amish in Pennsylvania and send them to California as a gesture to help them survive in an environment with little or no electricity? This would be the modern version of the Peace Corps sent to California. Maybe it should be called the Green Corps. #CaliforniaPowerShortfall, #TheNewGreenDeal, #TheAmishLeadTheWay https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/33-million-california-homes-could-lose-power-grid-operator-warns/ar-BB184nM9

The Responsibilities of Public Office: When Does Politics Become Criminal? Taxes are mandatory obligations that every citizen must provide in order to pay for the services which government is established to provide. Correspondingly, government is obligated to provide those services which the public has paid for. Folks who have lost their businesses, loved ones, been injured from lock-downs and the lack of emergency services that failed to respond should also consider this statute TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 - Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law. Those elected to public office have petitioned their constituencies for the responsibilities that are fundamental to that office. Failing to deliver on those basic functions of the office which they hold should be considered criminal when life, property and livelihood have been directly impacted by their decisions. #WhenIsPoliticsCriminal, #ResponsibilitiesOfPublicOffice, #DeprivationOfRights https://www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-law

Technology, The Information Age, and Perception: C-009 COVID-19 The Information Omitted - Viral Strains What is a greater violation of trust? Being given false information or being given no information? Every news report on Corona virus treats quarantines and cases as if they are death rates. Creating the perception that the situation is far worse than it is in reality. One of the nuances missing in the reporting is that back in March there were two identified strains of COVID-19. One much more deadly than the other. Why has there never been a report on the mortality rate directly tied to these early identified strains? It would have given the public a reasonable perspective of which percentage of cases had a higher likely of death. In April a report came out identifying up to 30 strains of COVID-19. Yet again, this information goes highly ignored and there are no reports or data relating death rates to any group of #ViralStrain. What is to be believed when the basic purpose of news is to inform yet they deny the consumer of their product that very opportunity? This is much about the quality of information as well as how each of us consumes and understands that information. #Technology, #InformationAge, #Perception, #COVID19TheInformationOmitted https://abcnews.go.com/Health/scientists-identified-strains-covid-19/story?id=69391954 https://www.webmd.com/lung/coronavirus-strains#1 https://www.foxnews.com/science/coronavirus-mutated-at-least-30-different-strains-study-finds
