Them Damn Democrats' Are Doing It Again

 What I can say about the Dem convention, it just wasn't unsatisfying. It was like a exaggerated product advertisement who just shows you a selective view of the gadget. They are just promise the gadget will make your life perfect, but it never does. They are just selling dreams for selfish mean. Like, what was wrong with the last election and what did they learn from it (Clinton)...how will they be different. How did The Obama administration make black lives better? Reform the police departments? The example was bragging about all the jobs created by the Obama last night. He hardly created any jobs other than those lost from the great recession. I hold the Dems more accountable for how we got here because they are the party of the middle class and poor. This is how Trump flourish, the middle class and poor has had a really tough 30 years. We haven't gained much during those times and the world has gotten much harsher for most of us. It is just no wonder why so many people voted for trump and have given up on all institutions. Obama, the Dems and lot of them have failed us in so many year over decades. I just think so many have lost all faith in our institutions and politics, we voted for trump as a act of terrorism. I know Trump is a scumbag and unstable...but I want to vote to punish the system for ignoring me and the people around. So voting for great plans and ideas never worked, so I am going to do the opposite to vote against my greater self  and my nation's interest, in the hopes of punishing our political and institutional systems. 

I think a lot of people will see the shallowness of the Dems with their really excessive positive and savior opinion with themselves in recent days. An slick advertisement and a gross misrepresentation  of the Democrat experiences for most of us and especially the poor. Hey, you are all heroes to each other, as this nation and many of us were grounded into the dirt for decades. Especially our children who aren't voting in masses, because they feel it the most and are sick and tired of our shit. There has got to be a great reckoning with the Democrat experience in the last 50 years before enough people vote for the revolution we are seek. You bet your ass monied politics is behind all of this. You and us have to talk about all you sins, how you failed us. What you did behind the scenes. And sincerely apologies to us all for all your sins. disclose it all!  Beg us for forgiveness. Trust that the good Americans will do the right thing this up coming elections.    

All you people are is playing the covid card and going full anti Trump. Your failures created Trump! We have to regain a sense of trust and integrity with our politicians and institutions. It is pitiful you think we are going vote for you because you had a tough life and grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, then joined the system that created this horrible world in front of us. Or our Republic and beautiful Constitution is lost for all eternity!

Do you even know what Trump did to us in the opening stages of his presidency. He threw so many bad things at us in the early stages of his presidency, the campaign itself...we never had a huge transparent reckoning with why the Clinton campaign failed and why large segments of our citizens were turning or becoming indifferent to the party? We never had a deep searching in our hearts souls with how the party failed. And you can bet as a result of the last series of republican presidencies, the party move massively towards to the right in order to compete with the republicans for votes and money. How did such a wounded candidate as Clinton become the contender?                        

It is time to call up the Nation Guard or Military to help out with our unprecedented up-coming covid national election!

Remember it is going to take a long to train everyone and set up the system. 

Our poor Hinsdale Police Department

What about the Lorry List? We extraordinarily protect our town police and government with tremendous secrecy. Ninety-nine percent of this is protect careers and the reputations of the local politicians. It doesn't serve the local population. We don't live in the greatest democracy on the face of the planet. We have very limited involvement of the town people because no transparency. We more live in a communist or right wing despot type of government. You have to question the quality of the local population to tolerate such a poor style of government. It is all about insider deals and superiority of commercial and business interest thugs' interest. A lot of money gets passed under the table. The commercial and business thugs run the show in small town America.  

We need a massive and historic reform of the Hinsdale police department. We got the crime level and 911 calls of Keene and now only three police officers. They are all new people at the Hinsdale police department who really don't know our town landscape. It is diarrhea of the exiting with the police officers in recent years.  The vast amount of 911 calls revolves around heavy drug use and the drug cartels of Hinsdale. We are the drug gang capital of Cheshire country based on the access to the Roosevelt interstate system. We are even using the very expensive NH state police to do some of the local policing. The police chief says the staties are too expensive, as the state police require two officers on the road at the same time because our town is so dangerous. I think we should pay each town police officer's compensation package and training at some $90 bucks a hour. We really have no control of the training with the new police officers. What the hell goes on the NH police training academy do? The training academy need a historic overhaul. Does the academy train police officers on choke holds? Does the academy have enough money to do this valuable work? Six weeks of new police training is pitiful. We are going to have diarrhea of the police department for a far as the eyes can see. The Hinsdale police chief tells me the select-people will give him all the money he needs. He is full of shit! He is drinking the Hinsdale cool aid already.

You get it, Hinsdale is always in a dire crisis with not having a police officers. They are getting less training at the academy. The chief goes to the academy begging them to reduce training, as he doesn't have enough police on the road in Hinsdale.    

  

City releases unredacted version of Keene police's use-of-force policy

“However, the City has concluded that public trust in the operation of the Keene Police Department, and trust by the public in their interactions with Keene police officers, is paramount,” the statement said. “Successful and peaceful interactions between law enforcement officers and the community that they serve is based first and foremost on mutual trust, and cannot be based on fear and suspicion.”



Read KPD's full use-of-force policy


The statement came a day after a virtual forum on racial injustice and public safety convened by Mayor George S. Hansel, at which two attendees called on the city to release the full policy.

Also on Monday, The Sentinel informed city officials it was preparing to publish a story about which local police departments had released their policies and asked whether the city would reconsider its stance on redactions. 

Many local police departments have released their full use-of-force policies to The Sentinel, though others have made redactions or withheld the policies entirely.

The city’s statement Tuesday noted that the death of George Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis police custody last month “has prompted a necessary re-evaluation of the use of force by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. And the City of Keene Police Department is no exception.”

Russo said earlier this month that in reviewing the policy after an inquiry from The Sentinel, he noticed it technically still allowed “chokeholds,” even though officers have not been trained to use them for as long as he can remember. He said he was updating the policy. The version released Tuesday does not appear to mention the term.

The Sentinel originally asked for the city’s use-of-force policy last November. The redacted version was provided in December.

Dragon and City Attorney Thomas Mullins justified the redactions on the basis of exemptions to New Hampshire’s Right to Know Law that relate to law-enforcement techniques and procedures and disclosures that put someone's life or safety at risk.

In a March email, Dragon said "disclosing such techniques and procedures could assist individuals in taking steps to counter the necessary use of force in an effort to escape detention, and which may result in an unnecessary escalation of the force required for the officer to safely control the situation, thereby endangering the safety of all of the participants.”
The city had resisted releasing its policy as recently as earlier this month. “As to our entire policy, I ask you to think of it as releasing a team’s game plan to the opposition, who would do that?” Russo said in a June 2 email to The Sentinel, after a renewed request for the full policy. “We have nothing to hide, we are as transparent as officer and public safety allows.”

Our Electric System: Greatest Decline in Demand Since the Depression

Biggest Power Demand Plunge Since Great Depression Is Reshaping Markets

Slowdown is squeezing coal, buoying renewables and foreshadowing “grid of the future”

The global plunge in electricity demand will drag on long after nations lift stay-at-home orders, leading to the biggest annual drop since the Great Depression and fundamentally reshaping power markets.

As economies struggle to recover, worldwide electricity consumption will decline 5% in 2020, the most in more than eight decades, according to the International Energy Agency. In the U.S. last week, government analysts projected the nation’s biggest drop on record. And in Europe, analysts say a full recovery could take years.

The prolonged slowdown will increase economic pressure

The most financially threatened plants are the nuclear power plants. I wonder why they never mentioned that? 

on older, uneconomic power plants -- especially those that burn coal -- and help speed the transition toward cleaner and cheaper wind and solar. It will also contribute to the biggest annual decline in greenhouse gasses from energy ever recorded.

“This unprecedented drop in demand is foreshadowing the grid of the future,” said Steve Cicala, an economics professor at the University of Chicago. The world is “getting an early look at what high penetrations of renewables will do.”

Cascading Dam Failures in Michigan

Update

Safety advocates think a dam failure or cascading dam failure could lead to a meltdown in the USA.

*You don't see this very often in the USA. So one dam fails, this causes the next downstream dam to fail and so on. Right now its up to three dams have failed. This is way up North in Michigan. I can't see any nuclear plant yet that is threatened.

It reminds me of the upper Midwest spring flooding event that threaten Cooper and Fort Calhoun a few years back.     

Michigan governor orders thousands to evacuate after 2 dams failed, saying one city could be under '9 feet of water'

Updated 7:46 AM ET, Wed May 20, 20

By Rob Frehse, Kristina Sgueglia and Christina Maxouris, CNNCNN)Thousands are under evacuation orders in mid-Michigan Wednesday morning, a day after two dams failed following heavy rain across the state.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency Tuesday night for Midland County after both the Edenville and Sanford dams breached and urged immediate evacuations.
"If you have a family member or loved one who lives in another part of the state, go there now," she said. "If you don't, go to one of the shelters that have opened across the county."

Residents should "seek higher ground" as far east and west of the Tittabawassee River as possible, according to the city of Midland's website.

"In the next 12 to 15 hours, downtown Midland could be under approximately 9 feet of water," Whitmer said Tuesday night in a news conference. "We are anticipating an historic high water level."

River Bend Is a Terrible Plant

I once got three special inspection of large breaker problems at this plant. It cascaded into three special inspection. Entergy and this plant is a very troublesome plant...particularly Entergy's western nuclear plants.  Entergy no longer has any presence in the Northeast.

NRC Begins Special Inspection at River Bend Nuclear Power Plant The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has begun a special inspection at the River Bend nuclear power plant to review circumstances related to the failure of five portable emergency diesel generators during testing. The plant, operated by Entergy Operations, is located in St. Francisville, La. The generators are used to supply power to plant systems in the event of a prolonged loss of off-site electrical power coupled with a failure of the permanently installed emergency generators. These portable generators were acquired as part of the facility’s safety enhancements mandated by the NRC following the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi facility in Japan. The three-member NRC team will develop a chronology of the test failures and evaluate the licensee’s causal analyses and the adequacy of corrective actions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they will complete most of their work remotely. An inspection report documenting the team’s findings will be publicly available within 45 days of the end of the inspection.

Is President Trump Trying To Commit Suicide With Hydroxychloroquine.

President Trump and his family is heading towards being a nationwide pariah for the rest of their lives. He is under extraordinary pressure very few humans can understand. He is a prime candidate for suicide. It is probably the only way his family is going to survive. I think he is committing suicided with Hydroxychloroquine.

You know him, he does everything in a big way!

Game this out, how does things play out if he accomplishes subside. 

The Outcome of China and the USA After coronavirus

I believe in the near future China and the USA are going to be great friends just like we are with the European countries. A 100 year alliance with China. And yep, just like neighbors, we all adapt with living with strange neighbors next door and become good friends. There is no fundamental reason with two completely different governments we couldn't become vast friends. Our fathers and grandfather set in motion our divergent countries...it doesn't have to stay that way. If it is all done for the good of the whole planet and benefits us all. We could police the world together and and set planet wide standards.   

You get it, this virus set in motion the idea all humans behave exactly alike. We now got tremendous new commonality between us. 

NH Predicts 424 Dead by August---Huge Spike in Deaths In Recent Days

Closely watched model now predicts more NH deaths

By Mark Hayward New Hampshire Union Leader
May 13, 2020 Updated 5 hrs ago

An independent health research center has sharply increased its predictions for deaths in New Hampshire, as the Granite State experiences its worst run of COVID-19 deaths.

Granite State deaths could run about 10 a day the rest of May and could go as high as 16, according to May 12 projections from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. That is up significantly from last Friday, when the center projected an upper range of seven daily deaths.

On Wednesday, state officials announced eight more deaths, bringing the number to 150. The number of New Hampshire deaths from COVID-19 has jumped 35% in seven days.

“The mood is one of shock. It’s demoralizing,” said Brendan Williams, president of the New Hampshire Health Care Association, which represents nursing homes.

“We know we are going to have more fatalities, we know there are going to be a lot more COVID cases,” Gov. Chris Sununu said on Wednesday. “It is all about the ability of our health care system to manage the current pandemic.”

As of last week, 72% of New Hampshire deaths were associated with clusters, according to state data. Nearly all cluster outbreaks reported by the state have been in nursing homes.

The data also show that 94% of the COVID-19 deaths in New Hampshire were people 60 or older, and nearly two-thirds were people 85 or older.

“Anyone who’s elderly is at risk. There are elderly people in the grocery store,” Williams said.

“People say, ‘Only those over 60 have died, so why not reopen everything but for those over 60?’” Sununu said. “That’s because those under 60 can easily become a transmitter to a grandmother or someone at work, whoever it might be.”

The IHME frequently updates its predictions based on data from states and countries.

The IHME predicts 424 New Hampshire deaths by Aug. 1, with a possible high of 960. Also on Tuesday, the IHME increased its projections for deaths in the United States to 147,000.

Sununu said the number shows the reason the state has to be careful. But he said the IHME figure is only one of about a dozen projections.
