Opinion

The impeachment trial of Donald Trump overwhelmingly proved that the president planned, executed and commanded that his rabble troops invade congress on  January 6, 2021.  The trial process proved beyond any doubt that Donald Trump must be impeached.  The trial also proved beyond any question that US laws were violated by the president by performing a number of criminal acts.   People were injured and died as a direct result of the invasion upon the Capitol.  Jail time and financial payment should be the future for Donald Trump. To do otherwise is abandonment from the intent and creation of our founding fathers for this form of government.

Due to the vast number of alleged Republican Party’s negative factors, their numerous self centered, self serving, issues will stand in the way for voting to impeach the president and may ruin that party in the future and diminish the standing of our great country.  Here is a list of possible negative factors:

It seems that the Republican Party has failed their country with these possible results:

  • The democratic process may be seen as flawed by some.  This may result in a lack of loyalty to country and personal commitment to the future political process.
  • The USA may be now a county of growing hypocrisy when dealing with foreign countries.  The USA pretends to stand for democracy but the USA is actually a  plutocracy.
  • The USA may now be a county of falseness for some of the United States constituents.  This may lower feelings of patriotism and commitment to government.
  • The US constituents may view that the rich and powerful can game the system.  The US legal system and political system may be seen as partially corrupt.

If the GOP does vote to convict Donald Trump for treason, the Republican Party has a chance to heal and better bind the nation to improve the country.

What Alleged Crimes Could Donald Trump Be Charged With For Attack On Congress?

 

The Democratic presentation for the second impeachment of Donald Trump appeared so powerful that they seemed to prove, without any doubt, that allegedly Donald John Trump performed criminal acts.  According to existing law, Donald J. Trump could be facing fines and imprisonment for 10 to 20 years.

He allegedly organized and incited the attack upon the capitol of the United State and individuals.

Next is some possible legal reasons why President Trump’s alleged actions were a crime:

18 U.S. Code CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES:

§ 2383 – Rebellion or insurrection

“Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

§ 2384 – Seditious conspiracy

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

§ 2385 – Advocating overthrow of Government

“Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or

Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or

Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.

As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons.”

Alleged Failure Of US Intelligence

Opinion Based on Facts.

Alleged Failure Of US Intelligence

The gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world and now from inside the USA,  by US intelligence agencies, may have resulted in a colossal failure that is damaging this country.

These alleged errors may have resulted from always looking outward from the United States for government agencies to investigate.  Not until Donald Trump and actors that seem to surround him, such as Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates has the intelligence situation changes so much, so fast, for the United States.

Trump just may have created a new land bridge between the United States and Russia that the intelligence community are too stupid or timid or are politically influenced to examine.

Links between Trump associates and Russian officials

 

Robert Mueller’s investigation:

Mueller was instructed to conduct a narrow, fact-based criminal investigation.  The Justice Department directed Mueller to limit his probe to individuals who were reasonably suspected of committing crimes which seemed to shut down any meaningful look into Trump having ties with Russia.  Mueller also failed in these areas:

  • Failed to examine Trump’s past history.
  • Failed to examine Trump’s personal finances.
  • Failed to get hold of and examine Trump’s tax records.
  • Declined to issue a grand-jury subpoena for Trump’s testimony.
  • Excluded from his report, a conclusion that Trump had committed crimes. 

Robert Mueller’s investigation may be seen as a growing perceived failure as the United States is seen splitting apart over lies and truth.

Report: Justice Department Quietly Limited Robert Mueller’s Russia Investigation. 

The Intelligence community should start reading some good books on the subject of Trump’s ties with Russia.  

Here is a list if they are interested:

Peter Strzok, former deputy of the FBI counterintelligence division came out with a book “Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump”.  Strzok argues that Trump is compromised and doing Russia’s bidding.

Journalist Craig Unger, in his book, American Kompromat, sort of outlines when and how Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years.

Less specific books of interest:

RUSSIAN ROULETTE.  The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump

By Michael Isikoff and David Corn

THE ASSAULT ON INTELLIGENCE.  American National Security in an Age of Lies

By Michael V. Hayden

Questions: 

  • Why is it that there are so many concerns by some high level intelligence people that the Russians control Trump? 
  • Why is it that the first impeachment trial of Trump conducted by Mueller was moved away from investigating Trump in more detail?
  • Why is it that now there is a journalist, Craig Unger, in his book, American Kompromat  presents a sort of outlines when and how Donald Trump was cultivated as a Russian asset over 40 years.

As an alleged result from the apparent intelligence agencies being asleep at the wheel, the United States has slid toward being a backward nation:

1. Out-of-control U.S. fiscal and monetary policies

2. The rise of the police state

3. An inadequate and ineffective health care system

4. A rapidly degrading environment

5. A deteriorating infrastructure.

My point:  If we find, at some point, that Trump was indeed a Russian asset, then it seems there was gross negligence by US intelligence agencies as shown next:  United States Intelligence Community

There should be accountability for individuals and agencies who may have failed the American people.  There should be some drastic action for change in the intelligence agencies such as rectification and possible systemic change that should take place in our intelligence agencies so this alleged screw up does not happen again.

A possible reason that the intelligence agencies may have backed away from revealing a tie between an Republican President and Russia is due to this: The Republican Crime Syndicate Takes Control.

Severe Foot Pain And Gas Solved

Severe Foot Pain And Gas Solved

Comments 0 Comment

NOTE:  I am not a doctor.  The information I share with you is an honest explanation of my health situation which may be different than yours.  I only present my solution for you to examine in case any of my actions help you.  Take care and good luck.

Problem #1

I started to get some pretty sever foot pain.   My age?  I am in my late 70’s.  This foot pain came on rather quickly, within a few days. I could not figure out what may have caused it.  My wife said that I might have gout.  I also mentioned this problem to a good friend and he said I should watch Dr. Berg’s YouTube videos for this problem which I did.  

Dr Berg explains Gout Arthritis & Foods to Avoid for Gout

Please note that Dr. Berg has a number of YouTube videos covering gout.  I have never viewed any other videos than the one I am showing here.

At the very end of Dr. Berg’s video he states that cherries are really good for gout but no one knows why.  I immediately dashed over to my local Albertsons grocery store and purchased almost all of their tart cherry juice.  The label on this juice did list other ingredients, which I was not happy about.  I started drinking this tart cherry juice from Albertsons and the foot pain went away!  I was all in for drinking a lot of cherry juice every day.  I found a better cherry juice product, I believe, at Trader Joe’s because the ingredient label show noting else but cherry juice and looking at the glass bottle the juice comes in shows juice sediment at the bottom which really tells me this is a better product.  You have to remember to shake the bottle before use.  I now noticed that the foot pain completely disappeared from my right foot but my left foot would hurt if I failed to drink enough juice.  

I then texted my Kaiser primary care physician about having this problem and she scheduled a blood test to measure how much uric acid I have in my body.  I now realize that I failed to properly prepare for the test because I had my blood drawn when my feet were completely free from pain.  I should not have taken the tart cherry juice, for a few days so my feet reached a high pain level and then I would go in for the blood test.  It is my belief that drinking the juice my blood test came back normal.  My doctor then sent me this message:

“I will prescribe ibuprofen. I don’t think you have gout but it helps with gout and any inflammation on your foot.”

When I picked up my medication it showed:

“ibuprofen 600 mg tablet generic for Motrin.   You can take this tablet once every 8 hours.”

I found that this pill did work perfectly for about 2 to 3 hours or more when I go out for a 4 mile walk.  It is the long walking that causes the foot pain.  The short steps in the house does not seem to cause much pain so I only take the ibuprofen about a half hour before my morning walk and I am ok for the whole day.

Problem #2

When this foot problem started I started taking cherry juice as a solution.  I then began having intestinal gas which resulted in more frequent trips to the bathroom.  I had no idea why this started.  I sent my doctor that I now have this new problem.

My doctor sent me back this message to help get rid of my intestinal gas.  Look closely at the list below.  I darkened one item that was the actual cause of my gas problem.

 

“For gas, avoid the following foods:

Lactose rich foods: ice cream, milk, cottage cheese.

Avoid honey, bbq sauce, apple, pear, mango, cherries, watermelon papaya

Avoid wheat (white bread, pasta pastries cookies)

Avoid onion artichokes

Avoid soy beans chickpeas, black eye peas lentils broccoli cabbage brussel sprouts

Peaches, apricots, plums and berries.”

Please note that “cherries” was listed in the list from my doctor.  So, I quickly stopped drinking the tart cherry juice and relied only on the ibuprofen and all is good – finally.  So, I found out that both cherry juice and ibuprofen solve my foot pain.  I have the option to take one or the other but cherry juice causes intestinal gas.

Caution:

But, what to do with all that cherry juice?  A friend told me that you should not take any pain killers prior to getting you Covid-19 vaccine shot.  He then sent me this web site link to prove his point:

VERIFY: Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen should be avoided before getting vaccine, but OK afterward

Ok, prior to my receiving my Covid-19 shot I will NOT take any ibuprofen but drink my tart cherry juice.   I should then be ok for getting a much better immune response against Covid-19 for using my cherry juice and NOT take any of the following pain killers:

  1. aspirin
  2. ibuprofen (Motrin)
  3. aspirinibuprofen (Advil)
  4. acetaminophen (Tylenol)

 

My scheduled appointment with my medical group, to get my shot, is not for another 45 days.  A nurse called me to give me a tip to call every morning to see if anyone cancels their appointment.  She told me she had an appointment open today but the person needed to be at the clinic within 30 minutes.  I will call every day but that means I just might have to drink cherry juice for as many as 45 more days if I am not lucky to get a shot sooner.

My Environment Seems A Bit Weird. Example 2

My Environment Seems A Bit Weird. Example 2

Opinion

At times I feel that I am living in some weird world probably due to the Covid virus.  Following are some examples:

Example 2:

I have tried to get a Coronavirus shot for weeks.  I am in category 1B.  I belong to a very reputable and large medical plan that has near by medical offices and hospitals.  Their website for weeks has shown that they are only inoculating people that are in category 1A: 

  • Healthcare workers
  • Long-term care residents1

My wife and I walk almost 4 miles every morning.  We stop to talk to people along our route and yesterday a person told us that another large hospital close to use was taking walk-ins, meaning anyone for inoculation.

I called the hospital help line and was told that they are taking walk in but that day they ran out.  I was told that people are arriving as early as 6 am in the morning and maybe I should also.

I called the next day real early the hospital help line and was told that you have to be a member of their health plan.  That is weird.  That is not what I was told yesterday.  I checked my cell phone log and I had dialed the same phone number both times.

The next day, I decided to drive to the hospital to check out the possibilities.  I arrived at about 9 am and as I drove into the parking lot for the inoculations, there were three men in a group waiting for each car to arrive.  I was told that I was number 14 “walk in” and was told to park my car.  After parking my car, I walked up to that hospital entrance which had about 5 people ahead of me and when my turn came, I was met by an elderly women working the entrance.  I told her that I was not part of their medical plan but told her my plan’s name.  She said that her mother has the same plan as mine and got her shot already.  I got the distinct impression that I did not have to belong to their health plan because all the people who were in front of me were allowed to go in with no problem.  I decided to leave and try to text may primary care physician to see if I could get my shot.  I would return again to this hospital if my paid plan failed me.

It seems that coronavirus speed of delivery and organization process of that delivery is not what we normally expect in the United States.
