Atlanta Shooting

Leave a comment

Well, here we go again.

watching the news on the Atlanta shooter, after hearing the presser from the sheriff, I say , Wow, just wow.

We are in for another false race card being played. The shooter was a psycho, who got crazy about his sex addiction and guilt about it. He admitted that. He admitted that he went in there to take out the cause of his guilt. It was NOT a racial motive.

Who here missed this point? That of the fact those were houses of prostitution? That they were all asian “employees” except a few? That this is an indication that there is an asian mob? That these may have been a sign of sex trafficking? That there is everything there, EXCEPT racism? There is so much to this story that appears to be hidden, or at least not being talked about. Did anyone miss the fact that he used those “massage parlors” in the past? or the fact that he got his gun unlawfully?  Or that these places were apparently able to provide these services for so long?

Then we see tweets like. “the shooter said it wasn’t racist, but he just doesn’t know it was yet” saying that even if it wasn’t racist, we will make it so. Is this what we are going to be seeing in the years to come? Where a heinious crime is put on the back burner and the worst part is said to be a case of racism? Is this really what we want to teach?  That the crime of murder and psychosis is to take a back seat to an imagined crime of racism? Or that we are not to worry about sex trafficking and prostitution are not a problem?

Where did we go wrong?

HR-5

Leave a comment

Here we go again.

it seems the democrats have decided to throw out the constitution again.  After reading this bill I found that they are trying to throw out a scotus ruling (colorado baker religious freedom case) by making it unlawful to not do something based on your religious beliefs.

“SEC. 1107. CLAIMS.

“The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.) shall not provide a claim concerning, or a defense to a claim under, a covered title, or provide a basis for challenging the application or enforcement of a covered title.”.

This says the baker would have no choice but to bake the cake that he refused to based on his religious beliefs. this is clearly unconstitutional as the 1st says congress shall make no laws on religion.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The democratic party clearly no longer believes that the constitution exists, nor that it applies to them.

For this reason, and the travesty of HR-1 which itself is unconstitutional, any congressman or President that allows this bill to pass should be thrown out of office and charged with violations of their oath to protect the constitution.

Is HR-1 constitutional?

we are all hearing how congress is attempting to make major changes to the form of elections. to the point they are taking over elections.  This maybe unconstitutional. as so far as the vote for President goes.

yes, article 1 section 4 does specify that congress can make election rules. however after reading it closer, those rules only apply to the congressional elections.

here is the text from article1 section 4.

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

See how it directly specifies only senator and representatives? that is a limiting modifier. means they can only change their level. NOT state level elections or the Presidential election.

next we go to article 2 section 1 that says it is up to the state and the states legislatures to choose who gets to be President. Its a weird way around . but its there.  heres article 2 section 1

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

You see by stating that the state is to choose how it selects its electors it is saying it is up to the state to choose how to set up the poll that would select the electors.

so in conclusion, If the congress attempts to change presidential or state elections , that runs contrary to the constitution and according to marbury is unconstitutional and therefore null and void.

But this is a simple opinion of a high school graduate on a blog site no one will see.

online registration has little security of signature(including same day registration)
allows for registration via telephone (call in registration)
they can verify your signature on a ballot with the ballot signature.
allows no protection from non citizens voting if they simply say they are a citizen
allows someone to steal your ballot by changing your voter record by internet.
motor voter registration and worse,
any state or federal agency or even colleges on their forms will automatically register you to vote giving the option to opt out not in
requires grade schools to educate on voter registration
same day registration
same day at the poll changes to registration information.
allow political campaigns access to voter roles

voting by felons that judicial took away
what the ballot should look like
vote by mail
if you vote absentee you will always vote absentee(auto mail of ballots)
changes laws for native american voters
drop boxes for voting
national emergency all bets are off
mandates how states will redistrict(changes?)
dekletes year 05 redistricting
makes it harder to eliminate a voter from the roles (great for mutli state voting)
in jail you can vote
campaign finance changes
government contractors no longer have to declare
over rule citizens united???
campaign finance matching
spend as much as you want with no reporting
enhancement of PACs
wont allow candidate to tell pacs what he wants

George Floyd Autopsy

Leave a comment

The Hennepin County, Minn. Medical Examiner’s Office on Wednesday evening released its complete 20-page autopsy report detailing the death of George Floyd.  The report was released the same day three former officers were accused by prosecutors of playing a role in Floyd’s alleged murder.  Prosecutors also on Wednesday upgraded charges against former officer Derek Chauvin, who now faces a new count of second-degree felony murder.  Chauvin had previously been charged with third-degree murder.

The medical examiner’s report lists Floyd’s death as having occurred May 25 at 9:25 p.m.; the autopsy was conducted exactly twelve hours later at 9:25 a.m. on May 26.

As was released earlier by the medical examiner’s office, Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restrain, and neck compression.”  The full autopsy report states further that “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.”  The medical examiner’s office had also previously deemed the manner of Floyd’s death a “homicide.”

The report describes Floyd as a “46-year-old man who became unresponsive while being restrained by law enforcement officers; he received emergency medical care in the field and subsequently in the Hennepin HealthCare (HHC) Emergency Department, but could not be resuscitated.”

Novel Coronavirus

Floyd had contracted the novel coronavirus, sometimes called COVID-19 or 2019-nCoV.  A postmortem nasal swab collected on the day of the autopsy turned out to be “positive for 2019-nCoV,” the report says.  However, the medical examiner’s findings suggest that the actual infection probably occurred nearly two months earlier.

“The decedent was known to be positive for 2019-nCoV RNA on 4/3/2020,” the report goes on to say.  “Since PCR positivity for 2019-nCoV RNA can persist for weeks after the onset and resolution of clinical disease, the autopsy result most likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent PCR positivity from previous infection.”

In other words, the medical examiner’s office believes that Floyd would not have been suffering from symptoms when he died.

Elsewhere, the report says Floyd’s lungs “show[ed] generally normal overall architecture, without malignancy, pneumonia, granulomatous inflammation, or polarizable intravascular foreign material.”

Injuries

The report explains, in detail, injuries to Floyd’s body.  “Blunt force injuries” included “cutaneous blunt force injuries of the forehead, face, and upper lip” (those are injuries affecting the skin); “mucosal injuries of the lips” (that’s generally the skin inside the lips); “cutaneous blunt force injuries of the shoulders, hands, elbows, and legs,” and “patterned contusions (in some areas abraded) of the wrists, consistent with restraints (handcuffs).”

Underlying Conditions

The report says Floyd’s autopsy revealed three “natural diseases:”  (1) “arteriosclerotic heart disease,” which it described as “multifocal, severe;” (2) “hypertensive heart disease,” which included a “clinical history of hypertension,” and (3) a left pelvic tumor, which it described as “incidental.”  (Incidental tumors are generally benign.)

The report elsewhere said that a “cross sections of coronary arteries, though not all ideally oriented, confirm the gross impression of atherosclerotic narrowing.”

Toxicology Findings

Blood samples collected at 9:00 p.m. on May 25th, before Floyd died, tested positive for the following, the autopsy report states.  (Quantities are given for those who are medically inclined.)

  • Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
  • Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL
  • 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL
  • Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL
  • Various types of THC:  11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL; Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL
  • Cotinine positive
  • Caffeine positive

A urine drug screen tested positive for presumptive positive for cannabinoids, amphetamines, and fentanyl/metabolite.

A urine drug screen also confirmed free morphine of 86 ng/mL.

Here is a chart of the positive findings taken from the report itself:

The full document contains detailed findings about the quantities of each of these substances and what they may mean.

Floyd’s body was accompanied to the morgue by a pair of XXL blue Nike track pants, a black ribbed sleeveless tee shirt, a pair of 3XL “Starting 5” brand black and gray sweatpants, and a pair of black dress socks:  one of the socks had a gray heel and a gray toe box.

The medical examiner’s office said it released the report “with the consent and cooperation of Mr. George Floyd’s family and their legal representatives” and pursuant to Minnesota law, “which requires a court order to release an autopsy report to the public.”

J&J Vaccine over view

3 Comments

this is an ongoing paper describing the J&J vaccine for covid19.

I will be adding to this as I go with excerpts from the papers themselves. My initial reaction is good for the use of this vaccine. the vaccine is a standard style vaccine as far as I can tell thus far(inactive virus in a suspended medium) as opposed to a vaccine that modifies the RnA in your body with unknown long term effects.I will be adding in my comments as I go in italicized in parens.

after reading this data so far, this vaccine appears to be safer than other vaccines. tested across the globe, and with the same efficacy as a normal vaccine(67%). there appears to be no nuerological issues. yes there maybe an issue for those that are allergic to the growing agent.

the first part of this includes excerpts from the Jansen press release of the EUA. to be found at https://www.janssenlabels.com/emergency-use-authorization/Janssen+COVID-19+Vaccine-HCP-fact-sheet.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0HgvBeOMLuQtyZfkU06qXC-s7eQkb_rotJN7C5fb_tVFmp1KoQkW-MVeo

FACT SHEET FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ADMINISTERING VACCINE
(VACCINATION PROVIDERS)
EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF
THE JANSSEN COVID-19 VACCINE TO PREVENT CORONAVIRUS
DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an Emergency Use Authorization
(EUA) to permit the emergency use of the unapproved product, Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine, for
active immunization to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.

The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine is initially stored frozen by the manufacturer, then shipped at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). If vaccine is still frozen upon receipt, thaw at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). If
needed immediately, thaw at room temperature (maximally 25°C/77°F). At room temperature (maximally 25°C/77°F), a carton of 10 vials will take approximately 2 hours to thaw, and an
individual vial will take approximately 1 hour to thaw. Do not refreeze once thawed.

(unlike the other “vaccines” this one does not require adding suspension fluids, and comes shipped with full dose vials of 5 doses to a vial)

CONTRAINDICATION
Do not administer the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine to individuals with a known history of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any component of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine (see Full
EUA Prescribing Information).

Severe allergic reactions, including one case of anaphylaxis in an ongoing open-label study in South Africa, have been reported following the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine administered in
clinical studies.

. A total of 43,783 individuals were enrolled in this study, of whom 21,895 adults aged 18 years and older received the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine .The safety subset includes 6,736 individuals

Urticaria (all non-serious) was reported in five vaccinated individuals and 1 individual who received placebo in the 7 days following vaccination.

 

(What is urticaria?

Urticaria is also called hives. Hives can change size and shape, and appear anywhere on your skin. They can be mild or severe and last from a few minutes to a few days. Hives may be a sign of a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis that needs immediate treatment. Urticaria that lasts longer than 6 weeks may be a chronic condition that needs long-term treatment.)

In addition, an SAE of hypersensitivity, not
classified as anaphylaxis, was reported in 1 vaccinated individual with urticaria beginning two days following vaccination and angioedema of the lips with no respiratory distress beginning
four days following vaccination. The event was likely related to the vaccine.

• Thromboembolic events:
• Deep vein thrombosis: 6 events (2 serious; 5 within 28 days of vaccination) vs.
2 events (1 serious; 2 within 28 days of vaccination).
• Pulmonary embolism: 4 events (3 serious; 2 within 28 days of vaccination) vs. 1 event
(serious and within 28 days of vaccination).
• Transverse sinus thrombosis: 1 event (serious and within 28 days of vaccination) vs.
0.
• Seizures: 4 events (1 serious; 4 within 28 days of vaccination) vs. 1 event (0 serious and
0 within 28 days following vaccination).
• Tinnitus: 6 events (0 serious; 6 within 28 days of vaccination, including 3 within 2 days of
vaccination) vs. 0.

(these dont sound too serious compared to the numbers of 21k injections, though the tinitus is a strange one. and these appear at first glance to be less than the other “vaccines”)

(this is the important part, what is actually in the vaccine)

13 DESCRIPTION
The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine is a colorless to slightly yellow, clear to very opalescent sterile suspension for intramuscular injection. It contains no visible particulates. The vaccine consists of
a replication-incompetent recombinant adenovirus type 26 (Ad26) vector expressing the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein in a stabilized
conformation.

(This vaccine called Ad26.COV2.S uses some genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. More precisely, it uses the genetic code to make the spike protein, the protrusions that can be seen on the surface of the virus. The spike protein is used by many vaccines since this is what the virus uses to bind with human cells and initiate infection.)

(Adenoviruses are common viruses that cause a range of illness. They can cause cold-like symptoms, fever, sore throat, bronchitis, pneumonia, diarrhea, and pink eye (conjunctivitis).)

The Ad26 vector expressing the SARS-CoV-2 S protein is grown in PER.C6 TetR cells

(The PER.C6 cell line is derived from human embryonic retinal cells, originally from the retinal tissue of an 18 week old fetus aborted in 1985, PER.C6 cells grow well in suspension serum-free culture that is free of any animal-derived protein)(note from the readings I have done, no further children were killed after the initial cell line was cultured. I could be wrong but that is what I saw)

, in media containing amino acids and no animal-derived proteins. After propagation, the vaccine is
processed through several purification steps, formulated with inactive ingredients and filled into vials.
Each 0.5 mL dose of Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine is formulated to contain 5×1010 virus particles (VP) and the following inactive ingredients: citric acid monohydrate (0.14 mg), trisodium citrate
dihydrate (2.02 mg), ethanol (2.04 mg), 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBCD) (25.50 mg), polysorbate-80 (0.16 mg), sodium chloride (2.19 mg). Each dose may also contain residual
amounts of host cell proteins (≤0.15 mcg) and/or host cell DNA (≤3 ng).(emp. added)
Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine does not contain a preservative.

The Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine is composed of a recombinant, replication-incompetent human adenovirus type 26 vector (not an mRnA but an inactive virus)that, after entering human cells, expresses the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)
antigen without virus propagation. An immune response elicited to the S antigen protects against
COVID-19.

The median length of follow up for efficacy for individuals in the study was 8 weeks postvaccination. Vaccine efficacy for the co-primary endpoints against moderate to severe/critical
COVID-19 in individuals who were seronegative or who had an unknown serostatus at baseline
was 66.9% (95% CI: 59.0; 73.4) at least 14 days after vaccination and 66.1% (95% CI: 55.0; 74.8)
at least 28 days after vaccination (see Table 6).

(looking at the tables and stuff, it appears to be effective on the known variants of covid)

The EUA follows a unanimous vote by the U.S. FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) on February 26, 2021.

(as compared to the pfizer which had 4 members not recommending it)

I found the following-from

Johnson & Johnson Single-Shot COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Unanimously Recommended for Emergency Use Authorization by U.S. FDA Advisory Committee | Johnson & Johnson (jnj.com)

Johnson & Johnson is committed to making its COVID-19 vaccine candidate available on a not-for-profit basis(eph added) for emergency pandemic use. The Company is prepared to supply its vaccine immediately upon EUA and expects to deliver enough single-dose vaccine candidate by the end of March to enable the full vaccination of more than 20 million people in the U.S. The Company plans to deliver 100 million single-dose vaccines to the U.S. during the first half of 2021.

Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate
The Company’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine leverages the AdVac® vaccine platform, a unique and proprietary technology that was also used to develop and manufacture Janssen’s European Commission-approved Ebola vaccine regimen and construct its investigational Zika, RSV, and HIV vaccines.

Phase 3 ENSEMBLE Study Design
The Phase 3 ENSEMBLE study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in individuals 18 years of age and older. The study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Company’s vaccine candidate in protecting against both moderate and severe COVID-19 disease, with assessment of efficacy as of day 14 and as of day 28 as co-primary endpoints. The study enrolled a total of 43,783 participants.

The trial, conducted in eight countries across three continents, includes a diverse and broad population, including 34% of participants over age 60.

The study enrolled 44% of participants in the United States. Seventy-four percent of participants in the U.S. are White/Caucasian; 15% are Hispanic and/or Latinx; 13% are Black/African American; 6% are Asian and 1% are Native American.

Forty-one percent of participants in the study had comorbidities associated with an increased risk for progression to severe COVID-19.

Research and development activities for the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine candidate, including the ENSEMBLE clinical trial and the delivery of doses for the U.S., have been funded with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under Contract No. HHSO100201700018C, and in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

(iow: this vaccine was fully funded already and will not cost anything)

Daca Proposal

Leave a comment

Dear Sir:

In light of the Problem created by Mr Obama during his presidency on the Immigration Of unlawful children by their parents, I have a proposal for a bill to help the situation.

I have run this by a Facebook forum or 2 and while the general attitude was we don’t care send them all back, I have not received any negative comments on the proposal itself.

Proposal; on Daca: Since Daca stands for deferred action for child arrivals, and the program is ending, And former President Obama has created a legal nightmare with this program, I propose the following solution to be voted on by congress.

The DACA children are given 1 year after their 18th birthday to apply to the INS for a limited citizenship(non-voting).

If the alien is older than 18 at the time of this bill they have 1 year to apply to the INS for a limited citizenship(non-voting). .

Any alien that does not apply will be deported.

If that alien has served in the military for a minimum of 2 years they will be granted full citizenship upon approval of the INS. (they have proven that they do care for this country by offering up their lives)

The Only people that are eligible are those that have/had signed up for the DACA program before March of 2018.

There will be no chain migration allowed.

The parents are not eligible for this program and are subject to deportation.

Mr Trump’s foreign policy

Leave a comment

I had a thought.(rut roh).

What if, just what if, Mr trump is in the vain of JFK? (best willis voice, what you talkin about?) well, what if after all these years of the administrations doing things a “certain way” in the area of foreign policy that has not really been working, Mr Trump has gone a different way that will work better?

Think about it, during the whole cuba crisis thing, everyone were against the way JFK was doing things because they didn’t understand what he was trying to do. Now during all these problems that the standard routines just weren’t working Mr Trump has got an idea that doing it in a different way will make it work? Is he not sending messages to our enemies? (that he can back up). are they not responding in ways that are different? the standard way of sanctioning and all that are just not working.  So the missile boy says hes got a button, after the limited testing he has done while puffing his chest out, Mr Trump comes along and says yea well I’ve got one too, but mine works to put the little boy in his place.

Should we just let Trump be Trump? And see if Mr Trump is smarter than everyone thinks? what if?
