One of the additional questions on my ballot when I voted:
The South Haven Community Hospital Authority proposes to transfer South Haven Community Hospital and the hospital’s related operations to an affiliate of Bronson Healthcare Group, on terms negotiated by the Authority board. If that transfer is completed, no property taxes would thereafter be levied to support the hospital’s operations. Should this proposed transfer be approved?
Pretty much everyone including me, who popped outa’ my momma there, voted yes.
With this win, hopefully SH Hospital will no longer be the death emporium that it has been for a long, long time. Finger injury? You die. Colonoscopy? You die. Foot injury? You die. It’s the sad refrain, and everyone here knows it. If you have to go to a hospital, you run from South Haven, fast, toward either Holland, G.R., or K-zoo.

Railroads create the first time zones
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/railroads-create-the-first-time-zones
At exactly noon on this day, American and Canadian railroads begin using four continental time zones to end the confusion of dealing with thousands of local times. The bold move was emblematic of the power shared by the railroad companies.
The need for continental time zones stemmed directly from the problems of moving passengers and freight over the thousands of miles of rail line that covered North America by the 1880s. Since human beings had first begun keeping track of time, they set their clocks to the local movement of the sun. Even as late as the 1880s, most towns in the U.S. had their own local time, generally based on “high noon,” or the time when the sun was at its highest point in the sky. As railroads began to shrink the travel time between cities from days or months to mere hours, however, these local times became a scheduling nightmare. Railroad timetables in major cities listed dozens of different arrival and departure times for the same train, each linked to a different local time zone…

This is a very interesting (and LONG) piece about whether or not Trump is a racist. The author doesn’t like Trump, and supported Hillary Clinton for President, which makes it particularly interesting. He also say why falsely calling Trump and his supporters violent, hateful, racists is dangerous; in his words, crying wolf. Description by a FB friend: “the article is long, requires actual reading, and has numbers and graphs. It demonstrates what other serious researchers have also concluded: the number of white supremacists, KKK members and neo Nazis in the US is miniscule — under 50,000. You are choosing to be deluded. ”

I had a priest once who gave one sermon I will never forget. He said before you tear something down, be sure you have a solution for how to rebuild it, and that you are actually going to do the work required to replace what you tore up. It started as a way to address problems in the parish, but he was wise enough to expand the thought.
It is the most memorable sermon I’ve ever heard, given by a priest who wasn’t a great speaker, and he was on the other end of the spectrum from me politically and theologically, but he was dead on. Everyone has a little good advice or wisdom to impart.

I had to go back and re-read Alexander’s article because his dichotomy of truth is just so fascinating.
He is in the mental health field, it seems a therapist (Master’s degree) at the very least.
Rhetoric that he has possibly pushed or passively accepted as justifiable means to an end to one degree or another has landed two of his own patients at his feet with suicide ideation which has forced him to step back from the more shrill and dangerous acrimony of the Left and try to look at it objectively through his subjective glasses.
Alexander continues to promote a false narrative about Trump because his liberal mind will allow him to do nothing else.
Alexander sees the danger that, as he sees them, nameless well intentioned right fighters, are causing by screaming fire in a crowded theater when some nèer-do-well has naughtily only lit up a cigarette, but Alexander still manages to be lost in the Trump-phobia that defines the very people he is begging to step back from the rhetoric.
I am thoroughly impressed with Alexander’s attempt to talk the wolf criers off the ledge of nincompoopery and his use of statistics and willingness to bring a rational argument against the charge of Trump being “the first openly white supremacist to be elected president” and a man whose very existence is an imminent danger to the very life of each and every member of the LGBT community.
Alexander does not seem concerned with the vitriol and violent protest because of the inflammatory vitriol and violence against Trump and his supporters so much in and of itself, but rather he seems against the narrative because it is causing good people (non Trump supporters) to be fearful. Even suicidal.
But Alexander is so entrenched within his world view that his warning is not so much about the danger of mindlessly following hysterical headlines and Tweets because that level of Goose Stepping is in and of itself a grave danger to a free society but rather it seems that the effect of this Goose Stepping is negatively affecting weak-minded and or mentally delicate people. And that is the problem that Alexander is trying to address. He is upset about a branch not the root.
Alexander fears that mis-labeling Trump as an overt racist and homophobe may more easily pave the way for a truly overt racist homophobe to come into power because over using those words drains them of their power. News flash for Mr. Alexander, the Left has mis-used the word racist so often and inappropriately attached -phobic to so many things that those words for all practical purposes have lost any credibility when they are leveled against almost anyone.
Alexander’s whole argument is with the use of words. He argues that even though Trump is divisive, using identity politics and a generally terrible person that Trump is not openly a white supremacist nor does Trump want to kill gays. Trump in Alexander’s mind is likely simply a run of the mill racist in the image of both Romney and McCain.
Alexander is seeing the fruit of the inflammatory words of the Left in his practice. And it makes him uncomfortable. Yet Alexander still allows those same people who have made people suicidal by their Alinskyeque methods to lead Alexander to proclaim that Trump is a terrible, crazy, divisive average racist.
Alexander’s words about his Leftist bedmates.
“The logic is flawless, it’s just that you’re wrong about everything.”
Alexander’s logic about the rhetoric of the Left making mentally unstable people fear for their lives to the point of having suicidal thoughts is flawless, it is just that Alexander is wrong in every way that within Trump is an underlying intrinsic racism, terribleness, homophobic, malicious divisiveness. Those predilections have been suggested by Trumps’s words or behavior.
The mental breakdown of people, the tears, the violence are all exclusive fruits of the Left’s dangerous malicious rhetoric. Alexander needs look no further than President Obama for the violent rioters biggest visible cheerleader or the mentally unbalanced biggest agitator.
Trump can no more easily control the Left purposely misconstruing his words than the Left can tell the truth about who Trump really is as a human being.
The Left stands alone in driving the mentally delicate to madness, violence, and suicide (if any have occurred because of unfounded fear of a Trump presidency) and suicide ideation.
Alexander is very delicately defending Trump against the most grievous malevolent charges leveled against him by the disingenuous Left, to Alexander’s credit it seems that somewhere in his conscience these words are echoing,
“Also I will, according to my ability and judgment, prescribe a regimen for the health of the sick; but I will utterly reject harm and mischief”
I wonder if Alexander can get out of the quagmire of liberal thought that still is wrapped firmly around his ankles. If he can, he may be a real force of good for the world, especially the mentally unwell who he has an obligation both professional and moral to be a caretaker of.
I give Mr. Alexander a bravo but no standing ovation. Wake up Mr. Alexander.

One inescapable drawback of globalization is that it requires, actually requires foreign intervention in “internal affairs”. That’s why joining the EU meant Brussels made British law; Brussels controlled UK borders. That’s why the Iran deal was made in the UN and not in the Senate. John Podesta is a lobbyist for the Saudis. Someone has to represent their interests in the US government.
You can say “this is good in the net”. But there are some minor side effects. One of them is that foreign powers take an interest in elections. They try to influence them in any way they can. So when we say Putin interfered with the election one can resist this, but it shouldn’t be surprising.
Once the electorate understand the side effects of integration, transnational institutions and a world order they may adjust the dose. This is what the UK did with Brexit. They didn’t “leave” Europe completely, but they did adjust the terms.
President Obama himself said that globalization needed adjustment. But he still sees adjustment in terms of more international regulation. He doesn’t get that it’s the international regulations themselves that are the source of internal interference. It’s the tight coupling that does it. If you want more sovereignty, you must loosen the coupling and allow for more, not less subsidiarity.
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
Under Putin.

Yeah, NASA was put on hold while Obama waited for Moslem rocket scientists to graduate from Madras Tech…didn’t work out all that well as they were a bit slow getting out of the Student Union Building and the 7th century.

Forcing a person to resign in tears for, after landing a spacecraft on a COMET (not the pizza place) for wearing a triggering shirt with anime ladies on it, during a press conference, might also have contributed to NASA’s decline.

I figure Obama was upset when NASA told him those 70’s blacksploitation SciFi films with Afro-haired buxom vixens were just movies, they weren’t real nor was NASA planning on missions to find them. Payback’s a beeatch.

Got up earlier than usual this AM, two dogs and one cat decided that I’d really slept enough. While the morning coffee was brewing I flip on the boob tube and there was a commercial for a NOLA low-income medical group offering those ‘in danger’ of contracting HIV access to a daily pill, covered under Medicaid/Medicare/Obamacare, that will reduce the possibilities of the taker contracting HIV. Cost is somewhere around $1500 per month per patient.
We are assured that the expenditure of monies for party pills will reduces the costs of treating infectees by some undetermined amount at some undetermined point in the future and that subsidizing risky behaviors (now determined to be a right, if not sacrament) is the right thing to do. Oh to live in enlightened times.

I guess I should clarify. I am not saying we should let victims of AIDS die off without treatment, but I see no reason to give risk takers 1500 bucks a month to make them feel safer while they go out and try hard to throw their life away. That I do not see any up side to.

I gotta work really hard at being Christian about this. I’ve seen the damages infectees do when they refuse to curtail their sexual behaviors. Those hubbies on the down-low or injecting drugs who come home and infect their wives. The ones who, despite free testing, not only don’t get tested but seek out risky encounters…and I could go on but you get the idea. You let them live and how many innocent lives will they destroy?

Just flashed back…years ago we used to do security details for various HIV awareness events. Organizers used to get a bit miffed that we would largely avoid the food/drink venue and were totally icked out at any of the ‘attendees’ wanting to show their ‘gratitude’ by hugging us.
Explanation was that you can’t get it from hugging…got a nasty look once when I asked how they got it then.

They screw and kill kids, and they groom kids to grow up to do the same.
