    Peaceful Transition or Leaving, But Not Gone

    A term limit is a legal restriction that limits the number of terms an officeholder may serve in a particular elected office. The same applies to consultants or contractors or project managers. There is by definition a start and a finish.

    So, as I read through the following Tweet – I continued to think of those that are classified as Stalkers or having Narcissistic tendencies or even Obsessive Compulsive personality disorders. Certainly, in the corporate world the majority of employers mitigate the ability of a disgruntled or just cause employee to act upon an angry impulse by creating havoc or causing damage to the company upon dismissal.

    But NO, this was different. Versus Senators and Representatives who never seem to choose to leave; the President’s position is very clear – two terms is the limit. So, are we now faced with undoing the damage created during Obama’s two terms or the instructions he was to follow. Or is this reversal limited to just Obama’s two terms & ongoing?

    Was Obama’s placement intentionally controlled? Was his goal since inauguration to bring about the downfall of the US? Who made that decision? Because, this is a man who had neither the means or the influence for the changes necessary to initiate or implement a New World Order.

    This is one of the best aspects of being a Conservative at heart. We have what is referred to as Impulse control, not to be confused with spontaneous. We have the foresight to visualize the outcome, not the desired effect.

    Yes, we’ve all heard how the last group didn’t know how to manage communism or socialism or Nazism etc correctly. Please tell that to the millions who died. We have no plans to join your little revolution.

    Tucker provides the backdrop to the DNC Convention for those of you, who were unable to watch. The self righteousness was on full display : Andrew Cuomo declared himself the Rona Virus hero; while Michelle Obama told us she was oppressed and this was capped off with Bill Clinton providing moral advice.

    Tucker said it best when he said, we catch the DNC with stealing our wallets and we get arrested for theft !!

    However, entertaining that may be, the DNC lost out in the ratings game to Nick the Mime. Read more on the background story here: https://talentrecap.com/watch-contestant-brutally-insult-americas-got-talent-judges-but-then-the-unexpected-happens/

  • Israel, United Arab Emirates Establish Full Normalization of Relations

    Israel, United Arab Emirates Establish Full Normalization of Relations

    Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed on Thursday to the full normalization of relations in a deal brokered by President Donald Trump.

    Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump, and two UAE leaders spoke and made the agreement, according to a joint statement from the United States and the two Middle Eastern nations.

    “This historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region,” the statement said.

    Delegations from Israel and the UAE plan to meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, direct flights, and more.

    The two countries will immediately cooperate on the development of a vaccine for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes the COVID-19 disease.

    Trump, a Republican, told reporters at the White House: “This is a truly historic moment. Not since the Israel-Jordan peace treaty was signed, more then 25 years ago, has so much progress been made towards peace in the Middle East.”

    Netanyahu said in a tweet that the agreement marked “a historic day.”

    “Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East’s most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations,” the countries said in the statement.

    Per a request from Trump, Israel is suspending declaring sovereignty over certain areas and is focused on expanding ties to other countries in the Arab and Muslim world.

    Under Trump’s Vision for Peace, Muslim worshipers are allowed to pray at Al Asqa Mosque in Jerusalem, and other holy sites in the city should remain open for peaceful worshipers of all faiths.

    Netanyahu and Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan expressed their deep appreciation to Trump “for his dedication to peace in the region and to the pragmatic and unique approach he has taken to achieve it,” the joint statement said.

    Trump unveiled his vision in January. It was aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the 80-page plan also dealt with other matters.

    “This is an unprecedented and highly significant development,” he said at a White House event with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    “In the past, even the most well-intentioned plans were light on factual details and heavy on conceptual frameworks. My vision presents a win-win opportunity for both sides, a realistic two-state solution that resolves the risk of Palestinian statehood to Israel’s security,” said Trump.

    I’ve searched the comments boards in Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the Blogs. And while there are some, who have come forward to defend the statements being made during this mornings United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, as they consider the Review in the case of Michael Flynn.

    The number of comments who see the courts as hostile is stunning – you be the Judge.

    More encouraging news as a result of defunding the police and moving towards a community based policing system. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Saturday that the MPD had seen around 100 police officers leave the force and police stops had dropped by around 50 percent in June and July. The total number of reported crimes in the city had dropped 31 percent in June and 4 percent in July, but gunfire incidents, which can tie up numerous police resources surged 224 percent in June and 166 percent in July.

  • Tick Tock – TikTok

    Tick Tock – TikTok

    A little history lesson, courtesy of Wiki:

    TikTok is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short dance, lip-sync, comedy and talent videos.[5] ByteDance first launched Douyin for the Chinese market in September 2016. Later, TikTok was launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of China; however, it only became available worldwide, including the United States, after merging with Musically on August 2, 2018. TikTok and Douyin are similar to each other, but run on separate servers and have different content to comply with Chinese censorship restrictions. The application allows users to create short music and lip-sync videos of 3 to 15 seconds,……

    As recently as last week, the President indicated he was prepared to sign an Executive Order banning the use of TikTok. Many have sighted concerns with U.S. lawmakers relevant to intelligence and privacy concerns about TikTok’s ownership. The company has denied allegations that it shares user data with the Chinese government.

    Also, Microsoft who had previously expressed an interest in acquiring the US holdings, now appears to have changed their mind. One can only speculate as to why.



    TikTok, however, appears to be just as determined to remain and expand within the US market. Yet one only needs to look at the recent events surrounding the Trump rally in Tulsa, OK to recognize the potential influence and interference to the election. TikTok users were encouraged to reserve a booking and then not attend. Once again, we saw AOC especially pleased with the empty seats.

    Do we really need the potential of more intelligence theft or election interference?

  • US Set to Open First Vanadium Mine

    US Set to Open First Vanadium Mine

    Considered a rare earth metal, the alloy vanadium is used in the production of steel, aluminum and titanium; which is a critical component to the aerospace industry. Currently, 98% of the world’s commercial production comes from South Africa, Russia and China. The mine, Gibellini Vanadium Project is located approximately 27 miles south of Eureka, Nevada and is expected to commence commercial operation in 2022; subject to regulatory approvals. Anticipated to provide approximately 50% of the US current requirements, producing 10 million pounds. Silver Elephant Mining Corp (ELEF) commenced trade in March and anticipates employing hundreds, with a mining lifespan of 13 to 15 years.

    We see here one of the benefits of this current Trump administration, fast tracking, as well as recognizing the importance of critical minerals. In 2017 President Trump issued Executive Order 13817, “A Federal Strategy to Ensure Secure and Reliable Supplies of Critical Minerals,” which directed the Secretaries of Interior and Commerce to lead the development of a government-wide strategy to protect and expand access by U.S. manufacturers and suppliers to necessary critical minerals. In turn, the Secretary of the Interior issued Secretary’s Order 3359, “Critical Mineral Independence and Security”, leading to the development of the final critical minerals list in May 2018.



    Vanadium is considered toxic in high dosages to individuals; however scientists have noted that trace amounts are consumed daily and appear to be essential in overall bone structure and strength. Foods such as mushrooms, black pepper, parsley, dill weed, shellfish, beer, wine and grain contain vanadium. When we eat a balanced diet, we consume just 0.01 milligrams per day, and this is more than enough for our biological needs. Some studies suggest that vanadium may lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes; this according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. 

    Vanadium crystal is seen on a surface of fused flake product at Canadian based Strategic Mineral Company Largo Resources’ Vanadium plant, near Maracas, in Bahia state, Brazil, on June 15, 2016. Vanadium is primarily used as an alloy to strengthen steel for construction, automobile and aerospace industries. / AFP / YASUYOSHI CHIBA (Photo credit should read YASUYOSHI CHIBA/AFP via Getty Images)

    Independence from market fluctuations and self sustaining abilities will be achieved through the conscientious development of these rare earth minerals, of which the state of Nevada has a vast wealth.

    Researchers To Explore 450-Foot ‘Green Banana’ ‘Blue Hole’ Off Florida Coastline

    LAURYN OVERHULTZ – July 22, 2020

    Sinkholes are created by the erosion of water; which collapses and exposes the caverns below

    Research groups are about to explore a 450-foot blue hole off the coast of Florida.

    The U.S. Geological Society, Florida Atlantic University, Mote Marine Laboratory, and Georgia Institute of Technology have teamed up with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the project, according to a report published Wednesday by Popular Mechanics.

    https://twitter.com/MiamiHerald/status/1285236946290311168?s=20

    “Little is known about blue holes due to their lack of accessibility and unknown distribution and abundance,” the NOAA said. “The opening of a blue hole can be several hundred feet underwater, and for many holes, the opening is too small for an automated submersible. In fact, the first reports of blue holes did not come from scientists or researchers, but actually came from fishermen and recreational divers.”

    Blue holes are essentially underwater sinkholes and it is unclear what is inside of them, the NOAA said. The expedition into the blue hole known as the Green Banana will last a year and begin in August.

    Sinkholes can be found in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and as far north as Pennsylvania. What is known about the surface and/or land sinkholes is that at the bottom of the sinkhole is a very thick layer of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and no oxygen below the H2S layer.



    The researchers built a “benthic lander” to explore a nearby blue hole called Amberjack Hole in 2019. The divers on this project will use the lander to run tests inside of the Green Banana.

    “Water samples collected by divers and the lander yielded microbes whose DNA was extracted, processed to isolate specific marker genes, and analyzed,” the NOAA reported. “Scientists found that the microbes in the hole are layered, with different genetic varieties at different relative abundances among the top, middle and bottom layers of water.”

    The pictures of this blue hole are beautiful and pictures of blue holes in general are crazy amazing. I just can’t imagine going into one of these things as a diver. Nobody really knows what is inside of them, but that’s kind of the coolest part about them.

    Maybe they’ll find a new species of fish or something cool.

    The largest known underwater sinkhole is located off the coast of the Parcel Islands – Sansha Yongle Hole
