No Po-leece...

Seattle will move to dismantle 'Chaz' occupied protest zone, mayor ...



Inside CHOP’s borders, protesters hold Town Hall meetings, where one man redundantly said, “We ain’t need no PO-leece; we fulfillin’ dis here country’s needs wiff (sic) out no Po-Po. And, ‘dat be fo’ real.”  
That activist, presumably, won’t be considered by CHOP’s first elected leader for the position of Presidential press Secretary.

 A speaker at a June 12 rally ordered all white people in the audience to each “give $10” to a person of color residing in CHOP. “If it’s hard for you to give ten dollars to people of color,” then reconsider, he insisted: “White people, I see you,” he said. “I see every single one of you, and I remember your faces.”

 This speaker, apparently, hadn’t read Dale Carnegie’s bestseller, ‘How to Win Friends & Influence People’. CHOP’s violence-prone leaders are like thugs from TV’s ‘The Wire’, increasingly governing with tactics inspired by Tony Soprano and Don Corleone.

Like all new nations, CHOP has some issues. Inhabitants beg for food to be imported, to replace what the homeless folks scarfed. But beggars can’t be choosy, and the handout seekers should stop insisting on only vegan and soy items. 

Maybe such shortages will end once there’s a department of Agriculture, to advise on food production. Citizens of CHOP uniformly oppose President Trump’s border wall, yet, they’ve erected a barrier around their country. 

Seattle’s Chief of Police, Carmen Best, says that law enforcement response times have more than tripled in the occupied precinct. “Rapes, robberies, and all sorts of violent acts” are “occurring in the area that we’re not able to get to.”

To Pee...

5 Fascinating Things That Happen When You Hold In Your Pee Too Long

Many patients, practice the “just in case” pee. This strategy can be helpful for people with urinary incontinence issues because they will leak less. But for otherwise healthy adults, this practice can be potentially problematic. 

It can send a message to your brain that this is a correct volume for your bladder to have the sensation of needing to urinate, almost training your bladder to have to void at smaller volumes.              

There are a few things you can do to help recalibrate your bladder. It is very important to stay well hydrated and to avoid bladder irritants, including caffeine, carbonation, and spicy and acidic foods and drinks. 

When you avoid these irritants, it helps your bladder be less sensitive so it can hold more urine.   You can also ‘train’ your bladder by trying to avoid urination with the first urge by doing a Kegel exercise. This may cause the bladder to relax and be able to delay voiding.

 Former Democratic Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton used their speeches to tout Joe Biden's legacy on health care and economic proposals.

Carter called Biden "the right person for this moment in our nation’s history. He understands that honesty and dignity are essential traits that determine not only our vision but our actions. More than ever, that’s what we need."

Meanwhile, Clinton said Biden is "committed to building America back again."

Ocasio-Cortez, the freshman lawmaker from the Bronx who’s become the face of the progressive left, had just 60 seconds to make her remarks.

She delivered the ceremonial speech nominating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), calling him a champion of “a mass people’s movement, working to establish 21st century social, economic and human rights.”

Ill-conceived...

 Do the Riots in Minneapolis Forebode Greater Civil Unrest for the US?

For a moment, Minneapolis had the most dramatic plan for police reform in the United States. In June, as the nation rose up in protest after a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, the city council unanimously voted to disband the city’s police entirely and start anew.

To achieve such radical change, however, they’d first have to amend the city’s decades-old charter, which regulates how the police are governed. And to amend the charter, the council would first have to pass a ballot initiative. 
Momentum stalled this month when the city’s judge-appointed charter commission voted to delay approving the council’s proposed amendment, with the majority saying the legislation was rushed, ill-conceived, and could face legal challenges.
