Fit..

 

When President Woodrow Wilson contracted the Spanish flu after arriving in Paris in April 1919 for peace talks at the end of World War I, he was devastated both physically and mentally, suffering from profound fatigue, coughing, paranoia and disorientation. The White House doctor at the time, Cary Grayson, wrote in a letter to a friend that "the president was suddenly taken violently sick with influenza at a time when the whole of civilization seemed to be in the balance."

Indeed, as John M. Barry, author of "The Great Influenza," recently pointed out that Wilson's illness gave British Prime Minister David Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau the upper hand in the ensuing peace talks, which led to severe sanctions against Germany and, ultimately, to the rise of Hitler and the Nazis less than a generation later.

Now, once again, we face a world in crisis, not just with the COVID-19 pandemic but also with the current battle of wits between President Biden and Russia's Vladimir Putin over Ukraine.                 

Is Biden up to the pressure, his critics and some independent analysts are asking?                           Is he mentally fit?

Scandal..

 

Any on in the Democratic party is interested in investigating the death of 20,000 elderly and the coverup that proceeded after to prevent the Federal Government from assisting in saving some lives?

If this Governor is innocent, so be it. 

But just looking the other side on this issue is Scandalis. Just a thought.

Scandals..

 

Downing Street suffers from a culture of “excessive” workplace drinking that led to social gatherings during pandemic lockdowns, according to a highly anticipated report from a British government.

The document described leadership failures in the office of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, though it did not directly implicate Mr. Johnson in wrongdoing, leaving that judgment to a separate police investigation. That may give him some political breathing room, but it is unlikely to dispel the cloud of what has become a career-threatening scandal. 

On the other side of the pond, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office hid the number of deaths in nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic for at least five months, The New York Times reported.  

Cuomo's senior advisors repeatedly prevented state health officials from releasing the actual death toll to the public, according to interviews and new documents reviewed by the NYT. Documents that included the data didn't go public until months later.

No investigation here since he is a Democratic Governor in a Democratic White House. Just a thought.

Bridge..

 

The Collapse of a bridge in Pennsylvania is an embarrassing event, blow up right in the face of President Biden's visit. He has been one year in the office, 8 years as Vice President and 30 years as a politician. And we just getting talks, just talk.

Who is responsible for this disaster? The city, the state and the Governor. 

Thomas Westerman Wolf is an American politician and businessman serving as the 47th and current governor of Pennsylvania since 2015. A member of the Democratic Party.

You can't just be responsible for Education, Health, Covid, Masks but when it comes to this bridge you are not responsible unless you are a democrat. Just a thought.

Stimilus..

 

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told Yahoo Finance in an exclusive interview that corporate "price gouging" has fueled inflation, placing the blame largely on dominant companies that hike prices and rake in profits without fear of competition. 

She strongly rejected claims that government stimulus in response to COVID-19 has caused the price spike, warning that such a diagnosis of the problem could lead to spending cuts with dire consequences for millions of people dependent on federal support. 

Ocasio-Cortez, a critic of corporate power since she joined the House in 2019, called for policy action on antitrust enforcement and worker protections as a means to address inflation. 

Economist Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama, has also pointed to pandemic-related government stimulus as a driver of inflation and criticize the antitrust notion as a Non economical principle in fighting inflammation. He also criticized what ignorance of ignoring economics and proceed with massive spending.  Just an"Non Economical" thought. 

Misguided..

 

About 20% of Americans struggled to pay their energy bill in full at least once in 2021, according to a December study by HelpAdvisor.

Those who weren't able to pay their bills often put off paying for necessities such as energy, potentially putting themselves and their families at risk. In the last 12 months, at least 18% of Americans kept their house at a temperature that was either unhealthy or unsafe, and 28% skipped a basic expense such as food or medicine to pay an energy bill.

In addition, the households most vulnerable to not being able to pay bills or skipping other essentials to do so tend to be those with children under the age of 18, people of color and folks who already struggle to live on the lowest incomes.

Nearly half of U.S. households that heat with natural gas are projected to spend 30% more than they did last winter on average, according to the Winter Fuels Outlook 2021 report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The 41% that heat with electricity are expected to spend 6% more.

The smaller number that heat with propane or heating oil 5% and 4% of households, respectively could see even bigger leaps in cost. Propane users will spend 54% more this winter, while heating oil users could see bills go up 43%, according to the report. The handy work of this administration. But feel worm people, the President is appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court. A heart worming gesture to combat the high cost of heating fuel.  Just a "Misguided" thought.
