FOLLOW THE COVID-19 via  FOREIGN POLICY UPDATED APRIL 1, 2020, 12:15PM EDT https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/04/mapping-coronavirus-outbreak-infographic/ After a briefing by the President's National Task Force on March 24th many Americans could conclude we were not being told the truth of the COVID-19 pandemic. The president vacillated on policy, misinformation and at times a dismissal of science.  The President offered his own interpretation of the facts contradicting that of Dr. Anthony Fauci from the same podium in the White House briefing room. When Fauci presented the sobering facts and nation-wide mitigation recommendations to attack the global pandemic, the President minimized the crisis.  As the daily briefing became routine, a reversal in the format became obvious. Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Leigh Birx led off the presentation by presenting the facts based on their expertise. President Trump follows or quickly steps in to so...

YES WE CAN AND THE RESULT RELEASED  BY THE  4TH  OF JULY! (1388 words 7-8 minutes to read) AMERICANS MUST BE EDUCATED THAT SOCIALISM IS A TOOL   IN OUR DEMOCRACY KNOWN AS "AMERICAN REFORM" THE SOURCE AND METHOD MAY SURPRISE YOU THE WHYS Democratic House waffles back and forth, to and fro on this Impeachment issue. The White House and Attorney General block witness testimony and refuse to hand over critical documents in evidence to the Judiciary Committee. A Republican controlled Senate refuses to adhere to their oath of office. If Congress is obstructed then it is time for [We the] People voice their opinion on the direction Congress proceeds in the investigation and Articles of Impeachment.   Bipartisan politics continues to put Congress in a state of paralysis.

YES WE CAN AND WE NEED THE RESULTS ON 4 th OF JULY! (1018 Words, approx 5 minutes reading time) WHY A REFERENDUM? Democratic House waffles on “to do or not to do.” The White House and Attorney General block witness testimony and refuse to hand over critical evidence to the Judiciary Committee. A Republican controlled Senate refuses to adhere to their oath of office. If Congress is obstructed then it is time for {We the] People voice their opinion on the direction Congress proceeds in the investigation and Articles of Impeachment.   THE PRECEDENT and BEST PRACTICE Our democratic allies adhere to a principled rule of order that offer these nations with additional tools to ensure and protect their democracy. Great Britain and Canada routinely hold a “vote of no confidence” within their parliamentary system in a call for a new government at the top. Theresa May is one example. The “no confidence vote” was precipitated by the BREXIT referendum to withdr...

 HISTORY CHANNEL IS AIRING NOW A DOCUMENTARY "TWO DEGREES: THE POINT OF NO RETURN"  The EYE of IRMA Over the past few weeks we have all read our own comments and questions about the devastation brought on by an earthquake in Mexico while Hurricane Harvey stalled over Houston almost simultaneously drowning the city with 50 inches of rain.  Within a week the mother of all hurricanes, Irma had started as a tropical storm on the east coast of Africa and traversed half the globe over the Atlantic and transformed into a Category 5 hurricane. Irma became the poster child for Climate Change. Irma's quick ascendancy into a catastrophic hurricane shocked meteorologists at the National Weather Service, the Weather Channel and every television forecaster.  All Americans here and in the Caribbean held our collective breath, praying for the best. We have all witnessed the destructive aftermath. However, Irma was not alone as the National Hurricane Center ...

January 2, 2017 AMERICANS ARE ENTITLED TO "A FUTURE WE CAN BELIEVE IN"  AND THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!  A President Bernie Sanders would be arguing for "expanding benefits" President-Elect & House Speaker Paul Ryan Ryan withdrew Trump support but now has "a cat who ate the canary' smirk.  The photo itself shows there is a "glaring error" in what is to come.   In an email initiated by  Act Blue  they report " Rep. Sam Johnson (R-T X)  – Chairman of the House Social Security Subcommittee – introduced a bill that would, on average, cut Social Security benefits by 27% for the majority of recipients." Act Blue asks for citizens to sign a petition to prohibit such cuts.*                                          Michael Phelan Social Security Works   info@socialsecurityworks.org I signed the petition and encourage you to d...

PRESIDENT OBAMA PREPARES DEPARTURE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE WITH MOST UNPRECEDENTED CRIMINAL PARDON: HILLARY CLINTON JULY 1, 2016  We have all know of  the chance meeting of former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on an Arizona tarmac. It is a moment legalists will agree was ill-advised no matter how harmless the nature of their chit-chat.  GOP leaders and Radical Republican media pundits are making full use of the fodder to cry foul as it fuels speculation of the former President tampering with the Justice Department to overrule any potential criminal findings by the FBI, the agency investigating the Hillary Clinton cyber bag of  emails. If Bill Clinton's brief encounter is not enough to cast an iota of suspicion, then President Obama took it to an atmosphere that will catch some gasping for air. POLITICALSITENEWS.COM broke a story reporting that under the President's order the Justice Department file ...

The extent of their reach and influence is without precedence for a corporation in a free society. Every consumer has felt the prevailing dominance in TV communication and influence upon democratic elections. TOO BIG TO FAIL, TIME TO BREAK UP COMCAST! COMCAST has evolved into a monopoly the likes we have not seen in years. The American public is at their mercy as in reality they are the only provider in town. Comcast has grown   as expediently as the revolution of the high Tech Industry over a short period of time, largely undetected by the general public. From a relatively small Cable-TV company, Comcast is now a giant conglomeration swallow...
