WES MOORE EXPOSED: Lies and Left-Wing Lunacy, Militant Marxism and Race Hustling


IF YOU WANT A GRIFTER FOR GOVERNOR and An Enemy of the State, Go Ahead and Vote for Wes Moore.


Did You Know?


* He lied for years about where he was born in order to curry favor with Baltimoreans, the core of his Leftist constituency.


See Tiny.cc/WesLies.


His actual place of birth was Washington, DC or in his first place of residence, Takoma Park, Maryland, as his website now attests - https://wesmoore.com/about/.


* He's only spent a relatively trivial amount of time in Baltimore, and only because of his studies at Johns Hopkins. A portion of his college career was spent abroad in South Africa - Tiny.cc/WesJudy.


* He's backed by George Soros - the Hungarian but Globalist billionaire who spends his fortune meddling in the political and social affairs of other nations.


Wes's charitable foundation, Robin Hood, funded in large part by Soros, has come under fire. It's difficult to determine what its specific objectives have been, or, how it has actually helped those who would be its clients.


Incidentally, it's reported that Wes draws an annual salary from the organization of $900,000.


See https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/robin-hood-foundation/.


* He advocates for open borders and using massive amounts of revenue, both from private donors and taxpayers, to afford newly-arrived migrants with subsidies such as food stamps and Medicaid.


It ensures that those persons will eventually be Democrat voters - because voting for the opposite party when the opportunity comes to cast the ballot would be like biting the hand that feeds them.


* He concerns himself with issues of race when we would do better in being a colorblind society. Dr. Martin Luther King said that we should be judged by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.


* He's a definite Marxist. There are cues in the language he uses - such as the term "Anti-Racist". (It's Ibram X. Kendi's favorite - https://www.google.com/search?q=Ibrahim+X+kendi&client=ms-android-sprint-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&inm=vs#tts=0.)


His aim is to Indict The System, overhaul it entirely, and punish those members, especially the police, who do the most to make it function.


He would have Qualified Immunity removed, so that cops would be prosecuted or sued for the ordinary acts of force necessarily used to properly defend against violent assailants who resist arrest.


He seeks to defund the police, and reroute that funding to social workers. He would send them in place of the officers, to be potentially stabbed and / or shot.


See Tiny.cc/WesSalon and Tiny.cc/IndictTheSystem.


* He used the other Wes Moore, and threw him away, like a dirty Kleenex.


After weeks of pressing him for information on his life for the book, the free Wes stopped visiting, does not speak to the other, nor does he send any form of support.


The book, which contains numerous discrepancies according to persons named within it, is here to obtain in PDF form without cost - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://cl2hart.weebly.com/uploads/5/9/4/4/59447175/the_other_wes_moore__1_.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiW7_nK7JH7AhUCTjABHZXsDdcQFnoECDsQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1jawbV-kR0e6Q06DljPYHF.


* He is denounced by both families directly involved in the tragedy that launched this controversy.


The other Wes Moore's relatives, and that of Officer Profero, would prefer that he stop exploiting the images of their loved ones, and invading (by proxy through press conferences) the precious little privacy they've had since the scandal first broke.


In fact, the other Wes's community, led by his uncle, has asked that Wes Moore step down.


See https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/the-other-wes-moores-family-speaks-candidate-moore-should-cancel-his-campaign.


* He is endorsed by the embattled Biden Administration and Hillary Clinton (who now wants to blame Paul Pelosi's attack, committed by a Nudist, on "MAGA Extremists").


Both said entities are overly controversial in their own right, and represent their own perceived or actual forms of extremism.


Clinton is the author of the Russia Collusion Hoax - Tiny.cc/CrazyHillary - and Biden is noted as the most authoritarian President we've ever had - issuing several hardline Executive Orders that were challenged in court as being unlawful - in particular his "Jabs for Jobs" imposition.


It would likely be Wes's plan to reinstate lockdowns, shutdowns and / or mask mandates, and possibly to mandate vaccine passports. It's been his requirement that we be vaccinated to attend his rallies.


See https://twitter.com/iamwesmoore/status/1478033826333048836.


It appears that Wes's desire is to violate the larger portion of our Constitutional rights.


We don't need that kind of "leadership". It's Dictatorship.

Newly Formed Organization Seeks to Help American Citizens Hold Their Governments Accountable for Riots and Other Endangerments


An Advertorial


After the May 25th death of police brutality victim George Floyd, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the United States of America and The World erupted into spontaneous protests that unfortunately went far beyond our control and the original purpose for which they were intended. Instead of quitely and constructively honoring the memory of Mr. Floyd and others who suffered his fate, the said demonstrations became wild, raging free-for-alls in which every law on our books was violated.


Our cities were and are filled on a daily basis with new incidents of vandalism, looting, arson, shootings and other marks of mayhem. The police find themselves almost powerless in stemming the tide of ever-increasing crime; and unfortunately still face the threat of being defunded or deactivated altogether.


There was a time (all of our modern history before just now) in which the National Guard would have automatically been called out to tactfully assist in restoring the rightful balance of power. It was done in Ferguson and countless towns everywhere for decades on end. Why has a standard and effective protocol for riot containment suddenly been abandoned? Political Correctness and in particular "Social Justice".


What is most unjust is that the American people have to continue to languish in a hell of unrest when they could be at peace. This fiasco, in addition to COVID-19 and its deadly effects on our bodies and our economy, is simply too much to bear.


That's precisely why M.A.S.A. was formed. Make America Safe Again is an interim, conservative grass-roots movement which calls citizens to respond, through legal and social action, to restore law and order and general civility to American society.


The founder of the organization is Black and unashamed to say that Black Lives Matter along with Antifa have done this country great harm.

The Never-Ending Virus-Go-Round... New Strain from China Might Rival COVID-19


Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's chief immunologist, is acutely aware of a recent introduction to the group of Superbugs having originated in China. Its characteristics are like those of the 2009 Swine Flu, or H1N1 as it is alternately called, and the 1918 Pandemic Flu. Its swine-esque profile component is due to prevalence in the country's pigs. Though it poses no current threat to humans it displays "reassortment capabilities".


Apparently, if allowed to mutate to a more advanced form, then "G4 EA H1N1" will have the same potential as its predecessors to become an epidemic or pandemic.


H1N1 came forth through Mexico in April of 2009. It infected more than 60 Million in the U.S. and 700 Million worldwide. By an estimate, 151,700 to 575,400 people died.


The 1918 occurance killed between 30 to 50 Million according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). Its death toll claimed approximately 10 Million people over the count of those who died in World War I at 20 Million.


This news comes as the Coronavirus continues to spread increasingly in states such as Texas, Arizona and Florida.Thus far 10.4 Million people around the world were infected and more than 500,000 were killed.


Many U.S. jurisdictions are reinstating Stay at Home Orders and it's unclear as to when life in the nation will return to normal.

Black Lives Matter Activists Call for Increased Violence (If Necessary)


All over the country heated protests turned into full-scale riots with record numbers of incidents of destruction to property and people. Many political pundits have tried to downplay the frequency with which they occurred and their severity. A particular city mayor, Jenny Durkin, said that the outbreak was “more like a block party atmosphere” than an “armed takeover.” However, there are too many victims of violence left behind to testify to the atrocities.


The most well-publicized situation, which no doubt left them Sleepless in Seattle, involved the assault of merchants in the business district there. According to Daily Caller reporters on the scene at the time, some among those protesters who set up the six block "Cop-Free Zone", CHAZ or CHOP (which stand for Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone or Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) went well beyond anyone's expectations.


A false report was spread that one of their members was being held at gunpoint in a location just outside the assumed area. The place was an auto shop called "Car Tender". The occupiers tore down the fence surrounding its lot and pushed past those who were guarding the storefront.They broke through the doors to confront the people inside despite the owners' insistant denials of the rumored cause. Then one of the angry hoard set fire to the building.


The garage's proprietor is quoted as saying:


“I can’t even get the police to show up, I can’t get the fire department to show up. I mean, I had to put the fire out myself. The fire department’s one block away. And this kind of mob stuff, that doesn’t work. I’m not doing that stuff. I caught somebody in my building with my property, so I detained him, hoping the police would show up, but they didn’t show up."


"So I detain him, trying to get him to let us frisk him to see what he had of our property still, and he wouldn’t let us frisk him. So, you’ve got all these people out here saying that we had him at gunpoint. We didn’t have him at gunpoint, there’s an attorney that was here that we let in here to make sure he was safe. That he wasn’t being hurt. And this is what I get.”


The man closed with the lament that his heart is broken for every person in America.


Another Capitol Hill resident, who would only be named as Brandon, stated:


“I’m scared. I’ve been scared every day since Sunday, and I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep. For the first time in my life in Capitol Hill, I hear gunshots every single night. I’ve heard people screaming every single night outside. And they’re not protest screams … I’ve also heard screams of terror out there, and I don’t know what’s happening out there.”


Brandon anticipated and received threats of personal harm for speaking out.


And there were numerous attacks on both professional and amatuer journalists for merely attempting to record video footage. Kalen D’Almeida, the co-founder of Scribber, said he was punched in the back of the head. He narrowly escaped with help from one conscientious CHAZ member. The assault was apparently ordered by the movement's self-appointed leader, Raz Simone, a rapper and self-described "warlord".


An independent pro-life activist used his phone to catch a clip of marchers as he walked along side. In response, the captain of the group abruptly turned to his followers and shouted, "Who doesn't matter?! This mother-f**ker!" The question turned into the crowd's chant. Then a few of the males surrounded the videographer and the lead CHOPer manhandled the victim while tugging at his pants with the taunt, "Do you want me to pull down your panties?" Afterward the observer was shoved further into the street.


The most serious occurances were shootings. Two people were shot in the encampment on the Saturday before the last, with one passing away at the site. Certain protesters blocked the police's access to that and / or the companion victim. Two additional shootings and a stabbing were reported in later days.


The aforementioned followed the CHAZers seizure of the East Precinct of Seattle's police department; which is located at the head of the autonomous region. They overtook the building entirely, ousted the officers there and are alleged to have stolen equipment which presumedly included weapons. Police have yet to find their way back to headquarters as negotiations are still being made. Black Lives Matters and other social justice representatives (who at one point seemed to include members of the terrorist organization, Antifa) demand that the station be turned into a community center - in keeping with their attempt to defund the police.


During an interview at the height of the chaos Mayor Durkin was angrily answered by CNN journalist Chris Cuomo with, "The counter will be, block parties don’t take over a municipal building let alone a police station and destroy it, basically thumbing their nose at any sense of civic control. Do you believe that you have control of your city and that you would be able to clear those streets? Because you haven’t.”


Though the area of concern is still a great nuisance; the rebellion has died down as the city's famous rain, marcher fatigue and boredom set in. There are still a few hold-outs, but the majority were successfully encouraged by the mayor to either expand their activities to outlying areas or go home. That came after desperate pleas from Capitol Hill's property and business owners for a resumption of normal life - and - the launch of a pending law suit.


Meanwhile the statement was made by Hank Newsome, Black Lives Matter Chairmain, that, "if this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it."

Fox's Martha MacCallum, his interviewer, confronted him by quoting that he wanted to “shove legislation down people’s throats,” and then asked him, “What exactly is it that you hope to achieve through violence?”


He returned with this:


"... But the moment people start destroying property, now cops can be fired automatically. What is this country rewarding? What behavior is it listening to? Obviously not marching, but when people get aggressive and they escalate their protests, cops get fired. Now, you have police officers and Republican politicians talking about police reform. I don’t condone nor do I condemn rioting, but I’m just telling what I observed.”


And at the end of the session he added, “I just want black liberation and black sovereignty by any means necessary."


WARNING: The Following Video of an Incident at a CHAZ / CHOP Demonstration Contains Foul Language and Other Potentially Distrubing Content.

P.S.: There are more recent developments of Black Lives Matters protest-related violence. A couple from St. Louis, MO was admonished by some when they displayed arms to a group of protestors who surrounded them after crashing the gates to their home. Also, a photographer who was a key supporter of the BLM movement was shot to death during a demonstration in Louisville, KY by a protestor, an individual suffering from bi-polar disorder.

Alternate Police Reform Bill Passes Vote


- BREAKING NEWS -


Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, formed an allegiance with the Congressional Black Caucus to draft the Democrats' alternative to the GOP's police reform act. It passed with the aid of 3 Republican Congressmen's votes - at 236 - 181.


Said came one day after Senate Democrats blocked the original proposal on a procedural vote Wednesday without debating the relevant issues.


The legislation will deal with the area of racial profiling as well as police brutality.

Nancy Pelosi Accuses Republicans of Murdering George Floyd... 'Heinous' says Tim Scott


An Editorial


The May 25th 2020 incident that rocked (and still rocks) the world was one of the ugliest and most inhumane it has seen. It was indeed murder most foul. There seems to be no debate on that particular ruling. Everyone knows what's what in that which Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd.


However, our reinstalled Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to lay the charge for George's death on the Republican Senate and, by proxy, those who voted for them. The party is confirmed by a Wikipedia article as making up 30% of our population, with Democrats at 31% and Independents at 36%.


Ms. Pelosi has just demonstrated what partisan politics is in its corruption - rotten to the core. She in her desperate attempt to solidify the Liberal and Black vote has slandered nearly one-third of Americans in the least - and more of us if Independents who are also Conservative are counted.


The affected Senators naturally demanded her apology. She refused with, "Absolutely, positively not...", and in regard to the Rebublican-launched police reform bill stated, "The press has given them so much play for this unsalvageable piece of legislation and then say, ‘well, can’t you compromise with that?’ No, it’s because it is no and we are yes. So when they admit that and have some suggestions that are worthy of consideration, but so far they were trying to get away with murder, actually. The murder of George Floyd."


How dare Ms. Polosi level such a baseless allegation? Those to whom she is opposed proposed the legislation when there was no remedy, current or contingent, in place. How can she impugn the Representatives who stand for so many with the indictment of premeditated homicide? How can she say that so many of her peers and countrymen are beyond cold and be that frigid herself?


It's obvious that what happened to George Floyd greatly offended sensibilities around the globe - to the extent that it sparked global protests (and riots).Its devastating impact is clear. Why wouldn't virtually all of Mr. Floyd's fellow Americans (and humans) be just as upset?


The Speaker's misstatements threaten to devide this county more than ever before - and tear it to shreds - to a greater degree than the massive post-riot destruction of property did. Senator Tim Scott, a Black man from South Carolina said, “When Speaker Pelosi says one of the most heinous things I can imagine: that the Republicans are actually trying to cover up murder, the murder of George Floyd with our legislation, that’s not politics. That’s not a game to win. That’s you lose. You will sooner or later lose. But immediately every kid around the nation that heard that nonsense lost that moment."


Those who are less than legally or politically savvy fail to realize that sometimes bills contain "deadly clauses" that defeat the purpose of what's on their face. Depending on the severity of the adverse inclusions, certain proposals cannot be voted in with good conscience. However, it's not readily apparent what would keep this measure at bay; especially since Democrats flatly refused to formally debate any of its issues. Would-be legislation almost always sees weeks or months of argumentation before going to a vote. A factor maybe Senator Mitch McConnell's cloture, which called for action much sooner than expected. But given the fact that what is at hand is also a national emergency it would be the time to hash things out.


Blacks and many others on both sides of the political aisle still draw much offense from Senator and Vice-President Joe Biden's 1994 crime bill, entitled "The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994". Wikipedia says, "It is the largest crime bill in the history of the United States and consisted of 356 pages that provided for 100,000 new police officers, $9.7 billion in funding for prisons and $6.1 billion in funding for prevention programs, which were designed with significant input from experienced police officers." Said was sponsored by Representative Jack Brooks of Texas and signed in by President Bill Clinton.


How quickly we forget history!


And remember... You can't have your cake and eat it too.

'Woke' Social Justice-Convicted Companies Change Marketing Strategies to Respect Black Consumers


It was just announced by PepsiCo, owner of Quaker Oats, that Aunt Jemima will be retired. Her namesake, the country's favorite brand of syrup and pancake mix, will finally reflect our modern sensibilities. The acknowledgement was made in clear terms by Kristin Kroepfl, chief marketing officer, that the friendly smiling mammy, around since the 1890s (and awkwardly updated in 1989 for the 1990s) is "based on a racial stereotype". The new name of the soon-to-be re-issued product has not been revealed.


Incidentally, there has been some controversy over Uncle Ben's brand of parboiled rice for many years. However no plans are known regarding a change to his image. Mars Inc. states that he's based on an actual person, a rice grower by the name of Gordon L. Harwell, a black entrepreneur who supplied a high-quality grade to the Armed Forces during World War II. In 2007 the character was promoted to "The Chairman of the Board" in an ad campaign. That would seemingly be the justification for keeping Uncle Ben as he is.


Nike continues to support Colin Kaepernick, the controversial African- American NFL player who was shunned by the league for his displays of kneeling during The National Anthem. An ad he did for said sportswear company in 2018 was revived after the George Floyd incident and gained renewed popularity. An updated survey done on consumer response to the commercial showed that almost half of those originally opposed to its message or messenger now see it positively - even the most conservative viewers.


After Mr Kaepernick's four-year absence from the game more than half of its fans are petitioning for a team to take him on. Despite the objections of a core group of traditionalists who still find his actions to be anti-American, the NFL has decided to make concessions. Its commissioner Roger Goodell made a public statement to that effect. It appeared that he was reluctant or altogether insincere in doing so to many. The President of the United States tweeted his opposition to the move, with questioning its adherence to our patriotism.


But in the meantime Nike carries on with its objectives. Its general division pledged 40 million dollars to remedying racial inequality and other social justice-based issues and the sub-brand owned by Michael Jordan will contribute 100 million. The new CEO John Donahue announced that Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the end of slavery in America, will be a paid day off for its workers.


The travel and fashion industries have jumped on board the Good Ship Justice as well; but with mixed results.


Airbnb, the site offering use of private homes to member guests reiterated that it will do more to curb discrimination at the time of booking. The travel journal, AFAR, posted this as the subject of a notice:


"AFAR Is Too White—and We Plan to Change That".


Famous celebrity stylist and fashion entrepreneur Rachel Zoe for several days on end has made the focus of her web magazine's features / e-mail newsletters the work of up-and-coming Black designers. Virgil Abloh, who is also Black, the owner of the brand Off-White and the principal designer for Louis Vuitton men's line, bowed under pressure when he received pushback for criticizing the actions of those Floyd supporters turned rioters who looted the Vuitton stores.


Though it's deemed by many that Abloh spoke with the most tact that could be applied, he inevitably apologized for speaking out and donated money to the bail fund for his legal adversaries. A quote from The Business of Fashion, a trade magazine, reads, "People responding to looting but not to black cries for change is irresponsible and dismissive."


It's obvious from the recent change in corporate response that social controversies (legitimate or not) are known to be bad for business.


UPDATE: Mars Inc. has conceded to the need to review the image of its Uncle Ben's line.

A Big Black Attack - Race-Baiting in America


An Editorial


It seems that so much more often than we field racial epithets hurled at us by White Supremacist groups such as the KKK and Neo-Nazis, we Blacks encounter the patronizing and pathetic attempts of White Liberals to safeguard our "delicate" sensibilities and repair our self-damaged reputations.


Several days ago Senator and former Vice President Joe Biden made a completely tactless statement in the effort to cement his support with Black voters. The Democratic nominee has been known (and mocked) for his awkwardness in both his physical interactions with others (especially with women) and in speechmaking. He has repeatedly made what are universally deemed to be off-base comments in answering the most simple and casual of inquiries, earning him the nickname of "Gaffey". In a 2009 article posted on the website of NBC 4, DC's broadcast affliate, the title reads "Biden Annoying Obama More Than Ever". An excerpt from said states, "... [he is] a man with a talent for saying exactly the wrong thing in any situation."


The aforementioned gaffe was expressed in an interview within an installment of a podcast called "The Breakfast Club" hosted by Charlemagne tha God. It was stunning. And again, though Mr. Biden is known for his lack of verbal finesse, he should have known better than to say this:


"Well I tell you what, If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."


So, Joe Biden never having been black himself can determine what Blackness is for all the people of our color? Why should he have been like that sassy Black Know-It-All Sistah with her hand on her hip? And are Blacks supposed to mindlessly follow the others wherever they would go like lemmings heading toward the edge of a steep cliff? Or are we all just sheep in a heavily politicized pasture waiting for the wolf to gobble us up unless our Good White Shepard comes in to save us?


In addition, these forgotten remarks from previous years were made by Mr. Biden:


"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said in relation to Obama. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."


"We got a real clear picture of what they all value," Biden said. "Every Republican's voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the - he said in the first hundred days he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, 'unchain Wall Street.' They're going to put y'all back in chains."


Though the second quote in the passage just above would be taken out of context if assigned a racial connotation, it and the reaction to it still reflects both our insensitivity and our hypersensitivity to ethnic stereotypes.


The image imposed on us, partly by others and partly by ourselves, is so insulting and demeaning. Things Biden touted remind me of the time when many Whites said that we all looked alike. If memory serves correctly that cliche was referenced by Carroll O'Connor's Archie Bunker (or a corresponding character) in an episode of All in the Family. But contrary to the somehow lovable biggot's perception, we do not all look alike, think alike or vote alike.


But somehow in the meantime we as Blacks at-large have paid a false debt to The Left and its Progressive and often radical activists. Most of us have thought that we owe them loyalty and total solidarity - especially if we want to keep all of the goodies that the government has to offer. And several representatives of the Democratic party have come to collect their own assumed entitlement over the years through grandstanding for it in our churchs' pulpits.


Blacks are told that "The Man" is out to get us while we let him lead us by our collective hand. And many of us rail against the establishment, wanting to tear it down, without the vaguest idea of how to reform it.


As with Reverse Racism we are also guilty of Reverse Race-Baiting. We assert that any and all who do not agree with the objectionable actions of militant Black demonstrators, or, opinions of controversial Black public figures (especially elected officials) are by their nature racist. We will not acknowledge that not all of our concerns (and especially theirs) are race-based.


What we do not need in any civilzation is anarchy. Yet during the marches over George Floyd's death the streets were filled with violence and general lawlessness, overshadowing the efforts of legitimate protesters. It appears that only a few of us realize that a segment of our own community grossly distorted and permanently marred George's memory. Young Ultra-Leftists (and pure opportunists) saw theft, generalized destruction of property, arson (a capital crime) and physical assault as appropriate outlets for their frustrations and ambitions - and their enablers - politicians and the Hollywood Elite - foot the bill for their bail money. There is evidence to suggest that the most disruptive actioners were staged by paid agents hired by the likes of megamogul George Soros.


How will we ever overcome the notion that we're a bunch of heathen savages who need to be manhandled by the police (and otherwise minimized) if we keep rioting, burning and looting? How will Black Lives Matter if we continue to present ourselves as enemies of society and an outright nuisance?


Even the celebrated Black fashion designer Virgil Abloh (owner of the label Off-White and a creative director at Louis Vuitton) was chastised for criticizing merely the acts of looters who raided his stores. After receiving immense pressure from his "peers" he acquiesced to their demand to be excused for their behavior and granted $50 toward their release. As quoted from an article in The Business of Fashion, a trade magazine, "People responding to looting but not to black cries for change is irresponsible and dismissive."


What's irresponsible and dismissive is the failure to hold grown Black folks to account for their own choices. It's as though we're the strange Freaky Friday-like cross between the justified and righteously indignant victim and the cranky and bratty child who acts out because he was kept up past his bedtime. But as long as we misbehave there will be someone to spank us for it.


The protests of the 60s and 70s put on by our parents placed a distinct and strict emphasis on non-violence. And it's not that riots didn't occur; but they were condemned when they did. Our chief examples were Dr. Martin Luther King and college students seated at sit-ins; not arsonists and Antifa. We cannot expect constructive change in the midst of destroying respect for ourselves and others.


And displays like those of football player Colin Kaepernick (who kneels during The National Anthem) only serve to demonstrate a disregard for our patriotic traditions and to offend the majority of the Americans that grew up with them - White and Black. There were always better means to specifically and therefore more effectively address the problem of police brutality and racial inequality. Refusing to engage in a practice that has cultural significance but no direct or indirect correlation with law enforcement will not strike the targeted goal. Also, it must be understood that our nation and the police on the whole are not copeable for the misdeeds of rouge cops - only those officers and their departments are.


What we need now more than ever is what unifies; not what divides. Though we speak to being of different races, we are in fact only of one such group - The Human Race. Our ethnicities are only colorful varieties of the same species... But we are so much more than glorified animals - so let's act like it.

Derek Chauvin - A Disgrace To The Uniform: The Embattled Officer Did More Than Kill George Floyd


Mr. Chauvin, now ironically in a jail in which he put so many others, has and always had serious issues. It is apparent that for some reason they were all but completely ignored.


The 44 year old, in his 19-year career with the Minneapolis Police Department, was the subject of 17 investigations and the respondent to 12 formal complaints against him. The documents pertaining to said are heavily redacted but still reveal pressing problems.


His most obvious display of excessive force occurred in 2007. It involved a mother and her infant (with the family's german shepherd) on their way home from a local grocery store. Officer Chauvin and an unnamed partner forced the mother to stop. Initially she was unsure of the cause. It was cited as her driving 10 miles over the speed limit. Then without another word exchanged the officers opened her door and began to pull her out of the minivan - well before she had the opportunity to unlatch her seatbelt. She was pulled through her restraints out to the street and then into the back of their squadcar. With her child crying loudly in the background she insistantly asked why she was arrested. After a long period of his refusal to answer Chauvin muttered that her vechicle "fit a description".


There were also incidents with shootings in which his use of firepower was questionable. 1 of the 3 or so reported described him as chasing and firing at a man who was already running from another (presumably non-police) shooter.


Those things coupled with the fact that he was perpetually in massive debt (which was brought into his marriage at its start) and the years-long dissatisfaction of and relational distance from his wife evidently took its toll on his mindset and the community he swore to protect and serve.


It was said by onlookers (primarily the couple's neighbors) that the Chauvins' relationship had been under visible strain for years and that Chauvin's wife had been looking for some time for the right opportunity to divorce him. Conflicting schedules and conflicting views caused further estrangement between them. Also Mrs. Chauvin bore concern for the children she had from a previous marriage. What was done to George Floyd was the last straw, finally giving her the courage to leave. She in disgust over her former husband's actions and the desire to make a clean break decided to forego spousal support and petitioned the court to change back to her previous name.


After analysis of the video that rocked the world, Mr. Chauvin's indictment was necessarily moved up from manslaughter to second-degree murder plus the previous charge. A group of bystanders are heard pleading for Mr. Floyd's life as Chauvin continues to drive his knee into his victim's neck, fatally asphyxiating him. The other three officers on the scene were taken in as co-conspirators and will share the same fate as the first. As appalling as Chauvin's example is, it seems that his presence on the force and this case are just the tip of the iceberg.

Major Study Says Officially Misreported COVID-19 Statistics Were A False Alarm - Americans Are Scared Over Minor Risks


As reported on a podcast entitled "The Daily Daily Caller" (hosted by Derek Hunter and affliated with Daily Caller, a prominent Conservative news magazine) the jig is up on The Coronavirus. Though its impact has had a devastating effect on The American People, it has not directly impacted as much of our population as we have been led to believe.


Only 39 of the 50 US states were respondents in the said survey. The remaining eleven were reticent to report anything, with the prevailing coincidence being that their governors were Democrats. It's found that while Conservatives have been taking ordinary precautions, Liberals have demonstrated an especially stringent approach. The old maxim rightly says "it's better to be safe than to be sorry". However, it appears that the Progressives have progressed past the point of being useful in our shared crisis.


The data taken, which is touted to be a strict result of number crunching only, shows that 43% of COVID-19 fatalities come from what is merely 0.6% of the general population - i.e.; nursing home residents.


It was further stated that such controversy arose over both the detailing of the involved statistics and the handling of protocols set for the homes that Governor Cuomo of New York was forced to take down his published directives for said from the state's website. That development would suggest that there were serious issues with the collection and interpretation of Coronavirus stats all along.


It is still widely asserted by leading epidemiologists that the virus is of much greater concern to the elderly than to the younger of us - and that the status of a person's health before contracting COVID-19 is the key determining factor as to whether or not the infection becomes lethal. Also, best practices in hygiene have done their job.

California Sues 'Criminal Minds' for Habitual Sexual Harassment


An apparent culture of endemic sexual abuse on the set of the highly-popular CBS show was brought to the attention of the state through the mass firing of a dozen production assistants. The program, which aired its last episode in February, has had a years-long issue with the alleged exploitation of its crew by its director of photography, Gregory St. Johns. It is claimed by virtually all but the accused and those named as his co-conspirators that said violations were openly committed and fully tolerated by senior executives.


The investigation by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing cites that the executive team took no measues whatsover - punitive or corrective - to stem the harassment except to dismiss its subjected employees. A bevy of indictments comes from California itself, including that of discrimination and retaliation.


When St. Johns was finally removed in light of what was uncovered, he was still given an "enhanced severance package" by ABC Studios, the Walt Disney Company subsidiary in charge. Despite St. Johns having been sued privately just prior to the state's action on the same misbehavior, he was not discharged until the initial reporting of this account was done by Variety Magazine. The Hollywood trade journal offers several exclusives on this story's developments.


Variety.com has, of course, published extensive details which involve a group e-mail notification to tip off staffers and the dumping of a whole department as payback for whistleblowing. It seems the most "Criminal Minds" shown were those in the top ranks of Disney and / or CBS.

25% of U.S. Restaurants Will Remain Closed... Forever


Said is the very bleak projection made by the leading online restaurant reservation booking platform, OpenTable. Through its own system-based statistical analysis it counts reservations as having gone down by 95% from where they were at this point last year. Of course, this State of Affairs is due almost entirely to the Covid-19 outbreak and local ordinances which restrict operation under its influence. (However, though dine-in is on a separate track than carry out, the situation is not helped by the fact that the consumer is getting accustomed to the convenience of delivery.)


By way of force the former diners are discovering "the joy of cooking" and even baking. There is currently a shortage of flour (in all its varieties) that is readily evidenced in any grocery store.


The Do-It-at-Home and / or Do-It-Yourself culture imposed by the Coronavirus has / have created new and possibly long-standing habits; due largely in part to the economic insufficiency caused by mass unemployment. Eating out is something that we do only with discretionary income, and as many have had none to spare lately, there has been none to give to an ailing industry that relies so heavily on the personal prosperity of its customer base.


Unfortunately so many popular spots, from Mom and Pop-run places, established 50 years ago, to the hot new bistros with their 4 star chefs, are taking a nosedive into oblivion. And patrons are just as sad as owners to see them go.


It goes without saying that many of the earliest protesters of the Coronavirus-based shutdowns were restauranteurs. They felt the impact of the virus well before most of the rest of us did. In addition to losing the primary basis of their revenue, through which to pay themselves and their employees, the owners of the now depressed businesses still face having to pay for all the overhead involved - from credit-bound purchases or rental of equipment to overdue lease payments for the commercial space occupied.


Restaurants lost more than $30 billion in sales during March and $50 billion in April, according to the National Restaurant Association. As of 2019, an estimated 9.6 million Americans worked in Food Service. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics at the time reported that:


"Employment of food and beverage serving and related workers is projected to grow 14 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations. Job prospects in most dining establishments will be excellent because many workers leave the occupation each year, resulting in numerous job openings."


There will definitely be a radical shift in what that report details. There is some hope in the fact that diners from states like Arizona and Texas (where restaurants reopened several days ago) told OpenTable that they look forward to going out again... but the associated numbers are still at a very low count as compared to last year.

The Plan for Our Total Recovery from The Coronavirus - Vaccination Efforts Against COVID-19


The President and leading health officials are working feverishly (no pun intended) on a plan to roll out vaccines for the virus; for as soon as it is at all possible to deploy them. The selection for U.S. use has been narrowed down to four or five serums that are still in development. 2 are yielding great promise in the eyes of researchers and may see the end of investigation by July. (China is currently testing several of at least 100 formulas in existence.) Of course, caution must be used when administering a brand new drug to a mass population - but the frustration over the delay is mounting for the Trump Administration and the International Community.


In April a consortium of 16 biopharmaceutical companies and government health agencies led by the U.S. National Institutes of Health introduced Activ, or Accelerating Covid-19 Therapeutic Interventions and Vaccines, to jumpstart those efforts.


Days ago Mr. Trump announced "Operation Warp Speed", installing GlaxoSmithKline's chief executive, Moncef Slaoui, as the head of the initiative. In addition, Gustave Perna, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Material Command, is onboard as its officer of operations. The target date for conpletion of The White House's campaign, with full national distribution of dosings to the general public, is in six months from its launch - that is, January. The National Institutes of Health set up uniform guidelines on the trials for and manufacturing of the vaccines so as to aid in expediting the process as well as to safeguard it.


There are many supporters of the goal, such as Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and vocal critics of the plan and its timetable, especially Rick Bright, a self-proclaimed whistleblower and the former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), an office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He and the Trump Administration came to blows when his claim was asserted before the Congress in regard to being ignored on 2019 warnings about Covid-19.


Dr. Bright is definitely of the belief that nothing that is both an effective and safe treatment can be created so quickly. However, when addressing Congress in 2018 he stated, "No one can rival BARDA's success in expanding capacity and pushing new products to the marketplace." Other experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Health and Human Services Secretary, Alex Azar, see reaching a solution in 12 - 18 months. Strategic emphasis and substantial funding are still placed on long-term virus detection testing.


As for the anti-malarial drugs some have held in high esteem - chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine - there seems to be more objecton to the purported side effects than confidence in the restorative properties of them. However, President Trump, a staunch supporter of the "Right to Try" laws, allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental therapies, will likely continue to press for whatever demonstrates a change in outcomes.

Shop Still Closed? How to Get Back to Business (Legally) Under Covid-19 Restrictions


An Editorial


Though much of the country is ready to get back on track there are still many jurisdictions that aren't. The DC Metro Area is a particular example. The District of Columbia itself, Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in Maryland, and the corresponding area of Northern Virginia won't be opening for a while. We're all waiting on pins and needles for both our personal lives and the economy to return to normal.


In the meantime there are possible solutions to undertake for businesspeople whose business was deemed to be "non-essential" or restricted for other reasons. The following are suggestions for their assistance. It is advised that those considering these proposals research the issues involved (logistical and legal) first to know that the use of any proposed means is actually applicable to their own situations.


SUGGESTED WORKAROUNDS FOR CLOSED BUSINESSES:


For Restaurants - Dine-In, Family and / or Buffet Style -


Please consider / reconsider temporarily coverting your operation to a carry out with curbside / at-the-door customer pickup or a "ghost kitchen" with delivery-only service.


Buffet owners in particular should notify their state and county health departments of the intended action well ahead of time by an e-mailed letter. Photos of signs in the location's windows that say such as "'curbside pickup only" should be attached to all communications made. A courtesy copy of all sent can be forwarded to the county police's community services division. (For P.G. County the division's e-mail address is [email protected].)


Restaurants like McDonald's have employed a simplified menu with just the main or most popular food choices to use at night in the later hours and in locations like Wal-Mart where their profile is smaller and customer response is limited.


If an establishment offers a small but well-chosen selection of pre-planned meals / platters - say 3 - 4 favored items with all the trimmings - and advertises them as specials on a sign in the window that should suffice. Remember - Have a short list of meaningful choices on a big sign printed in tall letters.


These are good sources for signs:


Uprinting.com


Fastsigns.com


Spellbrite.com


eBay at shorturl.at/jmpRS and

shorturl.at/aoyH0


Look into these and other food delivery services in your area:


GrubHub


DoorDash


Caviar (a DMV area operation affliated with DoorDash)


Postmates


Uber Eats


Bite Squad


Delivery.com


The fee structures given by those providers vary widely and can be costly for some. However, Delivery.com states that it makes no charges except as deductions from individual orders and that the amount taken is nominal. That warrants checking it out.


Instead you might decide to enlist local high school and college kids (i.e.; the friends of your own children or neighbors) to drive or bicycle within a 5 mile radius for a flat rate per delivery plus the tips. You can determine how to draw up a 1099 contract with them with the help of LegalShield.com and / or JustAnswer.com.


Due to the Stay-at-Home Orders restaurant delivery is at the highest threshold it will ever be - but as we become a more convenience-loving culture it will be necessary for your business to join the revolution in order to get a fair share of customer attention. In fact, a market research firm, Cowen & Co., says the expected rise in U.S. restaurant-specific food delivery sales from 2017 to 2022 is 77%.


For Bakers and Confectioners -


If you can continue to take advantage of your commercial kitchen do so; but if not use the one at home. If your state (like Maryland) supports cottage industries with the license to bake / create a limited range of items in a residential setup that would pass inspection, then, with use of either production site, you have the ability to offer your goods to local stores.


If not then there is still the opportunity to be a vendor through Etsy.com (with the emphasis that you are a professional). Bakers can carve a niche for themselves there by offering low carb / paleo / keto items. Those operating within set regulations for commerce should think about advertising through Delivery.com. You can also place ads featuring photos of your mouth-watering selections online in your town's edition of Patch.com.


For High-End or More Exclusive Fashion Boutiques and Shoe Stores -


If your clientelle is of a high profile or high income level and would commit to purchasing a minimum amount, you can post a larger but tasteful notice in the boutique window that states, "Private Shopping by Appointment Only". You would of course list blocks of time in which to shop in a similar format to the listing for the store's business hours. It must be re-emphasized (on the sign) that only one shopper can enter at a time.


Also, consider listing surplus stock on sites like Asos Marketplace at marketplace.asos.com, Luxury Garage Sale at luxurygaragesale.com, TheRealReal at therealreal.com and Poshmark at poshmark.com.


For Barbers and Hair Stylists -


Bring your services directly to the client. There will be some inconveniences within it but there are apps connected to service agencies for stylists and many online scheduling systems that will allow taking this approach well-enough. And most of your clients would be naturally inclined to give larger tips for the extra effort involved in meeting with them.


These are apps for hiring mobile styling professionals:


Mobilestyles.com


StyleSeat.com


BeGlammed.com


Glamsquad.com


Stylebee.com


Vensette.com


DreamDry.com


If you have a lengthy client list with their full names and phone numbers then you can use DialMyCalls.com to broadcast a simple notification to them from your salon. Then take appointments for mobile services through scheduling apps like Schedul, Schedulicity, Setmore and Schedulista. (Square Appointments is another option for users of Square's payment processing system).


An example of the recorded call script for re-engaging your customer base is this:


"Hi, Hair We Are Clients! This is your favorite stylist [or the owner, etc.], Rochelle. While Covid-19 keeps the shop closed we'll come to style you at home. Just visit [or look for] our page at [Schedulista] and book the services you want right there. It's just that simple. We'll call you back the day before to confirm your appointment. Thanks in advance."


If you're still unfortunately unable to provide the goods and services that are typical of your normal offerings, then think of other items on hand or an alternate skill set you have to market. Desirable but hard-to-source surplus material and equipment (especially that which is exclusively for business use) is easily sold on eBay if attractively priced. Those businesspeople with excellent administrative or other handy abilities can post profiles on sites like UpWork.com, Freelancer.com, Thumbtack.com, TaskRabbit.com and Care.com.


Have faith and keep looking to the day when we start again.

Governor Larry Hogan Announces 1st Phase of Reopening for Maryland


- BREAKING NEWS -


There's good news for anxious Marylanders who have waited for weeks for the return of their personal freedoms. Today, Friday, the Stay-at-Home order will be lifted and replaced by a "Safer-at-Home" directive (which does not mandate but does encourage safer behavior).


The Governor is well known for his caution in this crisis, especially in light of the reservations of (a) neighboring jurisdiction(s) - namely DC. Also, he emphasizes that special care must be taken in regard to the elderly and Covid-19.


For most of Maryland, businesses across the board will be un-shuttered, including salons and art galleries. In general there will be no restrictions as to which types of establishments can be reopened. However, those counties which are adjoined to DC, i.e.; Montgomery and Prince George's counties, will remain closed until further notice. Baltimore City has also expressed and remained in its reluctance.

Guess What?! We Could Have Skipped The Pandemic... China Knew Enough to Warn Us


It seems that the negligence and deviance of the Chinese government knows no bounds. Countless other governments, both National and Regional, are suing it for malfeasance. The people of the world are naturally up in arms, indignant with and weary from hearing China's excuses.


They continue to launch disinformation campaigns and have definitely withheld information. According to the Avalanches.com article published just prior to this one, under the title '18 States' Attorney Generals Sue China and Call for a Congressional Probe - A New Course of Action', the Communist country obviously knew enough about its growing COVID-19 epidemic to give us notice.


An excerpt from said article reads:


China continues to spark outrage around the world as it is confirmed that it colluded with the World Health Organization to hide vital facts about the virus and its transmission. The Chinese government is deemed to be copeable for having knowledge of the infection for at least three months before disclosing it to other nations. The consensus is that if they had warned the rest of us 4 - 6 weeks earlier than they did, there would be no pandemic... and only a moderate epidemic. The word is that just a 3 week difference would have reduced the spread of the infection by up to 95 percent.

18 States' Attorney Generals Sue China and Call for a Congressional Probe - A New Course of Action


The Plaintiff States involved have Republican leadership. Damages are sought under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). The protocols of the act are strict and only allow for a very limited course of what essentially amounts to a suite of symbolic guestures. The COVID-19-related suits are individual, and aside from / in addition to the bipartisan litigation sponsored by The U.S., which is reported on in another article here at Avalanches.com.


Each jurisdiction is making its own grievances known as to how the virus has adversely impacted its citizens and looks to the federal government for its investigative power to make full discovery of China's misconduct. The intelligence-gathering comes from a combination of sources including the FBI, the CIA and several other authorities. The CIA's specific role was / is to determine the actual number of deaths caused in each major Chinese city as the country routinely and grossly underreported the totals. (Wuhan was said, officially, to have had 3,500 fatalities when the 3rd-party audit found 40,000.)


Germany is said to have some of the most definitive information which was derived through the efforts of their own equivalent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation called the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) (in German: Bundesnachrichtendienst): Foreign and Military Intelligence.


China continues to spark outrage around the world as it is confirmed that it colluded with the World Health Organization to hide vital facts about the virus and its transmission. The Chinese government is deemed to be copeable for having knowledge of the infection for at least three months before disclosing it to other nations. The consensus is that if they had warned the rest of us 4 - 6 weeks earlier than they did, there would be no pandemic... and only a moderate epidemic. The word is that just a 3 week difference would have reduced the spread of the infection by up to 95 percent.


According to an NBC account China says the charges against it are "absurd". Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Gen Shuang claims the lawsuits are "malicious and abusive and violate(s) basic legal principles" of sovereign immunity.


Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a bill that would facilitate a private right of action allowing Americans to sue the Chinese government. It would also allow courts to freeze the foreign government's assets so that victims can collect damages.

Maryland and Its Counties Take It One Day at a Time - The COVID-19 Reopening Plan


There's an old gospel / country song that sings, "One day at a time, Sweet Jesus," in lament over the hardship of life's struggles. Our long and slow trek to getting back to normal has wearied many a traveler.


Maryland's Governor Larry Hogan recently announced his "Road to Recovery" for the state, which is linked to here - shorturl.at/wBNU9. It contains detailed charts and graphs regarding the progession of the virus but little to no specific or concrete information on dates or times for resuming our activities. As the spread of infection has remained very active, and therefore unpredictable, the Governor is for now moving only with the strictest of caution.


However, he is open to the suggestions of the Trump Administration as to how to proceed; and the guideline given is that no reopening of non-vital venues should take place until there is no increase in viral activity for two weeks. Many jurisdictions within the DC Metro Area, and in particular The District itself, are / is still leary about moving foward, even with such an extensive period of demonstrated improvement.


In response to the local governments' concerns, Mr. Hogan just announced that the Maryland counties which adjoin to DC will have their own say-so on when they open up if the start times exceed those for the state at large. This mirrors a decision made by Virginia for its Northern Virginia area.


The District of Columbia is a major and congested hub for regional, national and international travel - so it would be understood that it's also thought to be a nexus of Coronavirus transmission.


As the months of isolation have dragged on there will probably be no definitive answer any time soon as to when we can get back on track.

America's Sick of COVID-19 - The Bold Breakout of Lockdown


Small businesses around the country have re-opened ahead of schedule despite the threat of hefty fines (averaged at $2,500), sanctions, jail time, liability suits, stigmatization by liberal activists and bad press from the media. They have unionized through organizations like Smallbusinessmajority.org and have aid from the tech industry through Openforbusiness.org for assistive merchant's services. The weary business owners have, of course, been the primary protestors in public rallies.


The Maryland neighborhood occupied (which is just down the road from the DC line) has its people strolling and running up and down the streets WITHOUT masks on, and they've been mask-less for the most part throughout this virus crisis - especially in the area of University Park. Seemingly it's only by way of compulsion through the county ordinance that they cover their faces in stores. In fact, a whole family was bold enough to enter the local Hyattsville Dollar Tree yesterday without coverings on their 3 children. At first a feeling of shock struck - but then it was realized how much this reporter is also tired of being smothered.


And shoppers seem to be getting closer to each other, and even reaching over the others like the less well-mannered used to do. It is a simultaneously aggravating and refreshing change. We are all waiting for when things will return to normal.

Joe Gotta Go - New Poll Says 1 in 4 Democrats Want Biden to Step Down


The said statement was confirmed on May 4th or thereabouts. According to the results of a survey taken by the market research firm, Morning Consult, 26% of party members would rather have another candidate for President. It seems that the primary basis for their opinion is the sex abuse scandal involving former senate staffer Tara Reade; and that it is in particular a response to Mr. Biden's video-based denial.


The majority of Democrats polled, at 61%, say they believe Mr. Biden. However, the portion of voters they represent is comprised mainly of older and male constituents.


38% of all respondents queried stated that elected officials should resign when faced with credible accusations of sexual misconduct. That percentage is made primarily of Bernie Sanders supporters.


(Morning Consult is a global enterprise, serving information to publications such as The New York Times, Bloomberg, and POLITICO. More specifics on the numbers in the Biden appraisal are included in the corresponding article on the marketing organization's website. The poll has a 2% margin of error. See this link -

https://morningconsult.com/2020/05/04/after-watching-biden-deny-reades-claims-1-in-4-democrats-want-a-different-nominee/)


Unfortunately there were other occurrences to contribute to the negative impression of Mr. Biden that may or may not inflict a great impact on the election. Several newsworthy incidents, though they took place within the last year or 18 months, have been all but forgotten.


The reader may recall the following:


7 women, other than Tara Reade, came forward in or around April of 2019 to complain of inappropriate touching by / unsolicited affection from him. Mr. Biden issued an apology that to some seemed like more of a rationalization of his actions. The link to the Twitter video containing it is here :


https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1113515882960052224


In response many tweets placed on his page rebuffed and rebuked Mr. Biden. The 2nd displayed at the time of researching this article was this:


Victoria Brownworth

@VABVOX


Replying to @JoeBiden


There was never a social norm that allowed men to touch women & girls in the manner you have & do. The fact is, if you'd done to a man what you did to Lucy Flores, smelling her hair and kissing her head, it would have been a massive scandal. This is expedient, but not an apology.


A post that came after several between it and the one above was more forgiving, but still embodied a highly unfavorable critique. It reads:


CeceVolume

@CynthiaMcElroy


Replying to @JoeBiden


As a human being, I want results not words. As someone who has dealt with sexual harassment to the point of shying away from my own brothers’ hugs, I want an actual change in behavior. Just as I say Donald Trump must change his ways, I say so to you. #NotAPartisanIssue


In addition, Mr. Biden's ability to remain truthful was called into question when The Washington Post itself indicted him by its award of four Pinocchios for allowing his staffer, Ron Klain (Biden campaign adviser and former Ebola czar of the Obama administration) to falsely report that the Centers for Disease Control (or CDC) had been intimidated into silience on COVID-19 by President Trump. The offending statement is contained in a video found here :

https://mobile.twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1241416531684331526


And from the begining of campaign season there's been the conspicuous absence of Mr. Biden's endorsement by President Barack Obama.There appears to be no communication between the two. Given their eight year history together at The People's House it would be America's collective expectation that the said President, who presumedly selected his own running mate and co-chair, would continue to support him. The only resident of the White House to openly back Mr. Biden is Hillary Clinton, who bears her own challenges with the lack of public approval.
