Larry Elder who ran for
California Governor during the recall attempt on Governor Newsom and was sunk
by massive donations to Newsom and his campaign’s ability the recall was an
Republican attempt to overthrow an election & replace him with a White MAGA Suprematcist. In a move that may take the wind out of 2nd
Amendment supporters in East Haven, Connecticut at 10:00 A.M. 37-year-old Xavier Otero disguised as a delivery man holding a
manila package in his hand rang the doorbell and when the door open stepped
forward and pulled out a pistol that the homeowner reacted immediately to push
Otero violently back off the porch which caused him to run away to his accomplice
and his waiting van to race off but to the felons dismay the whole episode was
captured on a ring cam and very quickly the two were arrested. The Hunter Biden
Scandal will not go away and information suggesting his involvement is
dribbling out more each day, as Secretary of State Blinken formerly a Biden
campaign advisers that was the moving force to obtain the signatures of 51
former foreign policy officials on a letter which claimed that the contents of
his laptop were Russian disinformation which was not the case. We are learning that the creation of energy entails environmental
risk a fact that was pointed out by the directors of fishery councils created
by the federal government who have warned of the adverse effects on the
fisheries industries on the East Coast of the large numbers of wind turbines
being or planned to be constructed on the East Coast which assessment follows
the earlier warned this year that booms used to determine where to construct
have resulted in hundreds of whales beaching themselves due to damaged sonar
abilities whales possess. Republicans and members of Congress representing
border communities have been for a long time displeased with Mayorkas’ myth the
border is secured but now we learn that DHS’ Transnational Organized Crime
Mission Center executive director Brian Sulc’s office was raided and cordoned off
with police tape while he was placed on administrative leave with no
explanation for the raid. Megan Rapinoe in typical fashion excoriates women athletes
for complaining about transgenders competing against them because sports are
much less important than transgenders achieving the gender when transgenders with
full male equipment are coming into shower with them in a woman’s bathroom or a
female volleyball player being hit in the face by a spiked volleyball and
giving her a concussion. We now know the cause of the rapid disassembly event
which was the flight engineers causing it to destruct after it veered off course.

innovation and creativity for the individual and community. At the same time,

to inclusive social development, to dialogue and understanding between peoples.
Today, creative industries are among the
most dynamic areas in the world economy providing new opportunities for
developing countries to leapfrog into emerging high-growth areas of the world
economy.

Famous Quotes on Events and Issues: Erin Brockovich on the Flint Michigan water contamination: “Contaminated water is not a problem
limited to Flint. Think of New Jersey, where school fountains were found to
contain unsafe levels of lead. Or the EPA's 33,000 superfund sites, which are
highly-polluted areas that require long-term clean-up operations. The problem
is so large that it feels insurmountable.”
