This is dangerous … there’s NOTHING transparent and honest about “IT”!! … “Trump has a ‘plan’, a four-step plan, to open the U.S. for business again. His intent has nothing to do with the well being of the people of this nation, but is a thinly-disguised attempt to restore the economy and thus his approval rating prior to the November 3rd election.”
Trump apparently has a ‘plan’, a four-step plan, to open the U.S. for business again. His intent has nothing to do with the well being of the people of this nation, but is a thinly-disguised attempt to restore the economy and thus his approval rating prior to the November 3rd election. The esteemed Robert Reich tells us why his plan is an abomination, why it will be lethal to the people of this country …
Donald Trump’s four-step plan to reopen the US economy – and why it will be lethal
Robert Reich
The president and his allies are hiding the facts and pretending ‘freedom’ conquers all. As a result, more Americans will die
Donald Trump is getting nervous. Internal polls show him losing in November unless the economy comes roaring back.
But much of the economy remains closed because of the pandemic. The number of infections and deaths…
Since Trump has been in the White House he has seemed to hold some sort of warm place in his heart for China (that is until the virus and he blames it all on China for now)……and I have thought it was unusual as he seems to try and protect China from all sorts of bad press and criticism…..why is that?
I think maybe I found the answer and it as simple as an IOU…..
But Trump himself has taken on debt from China. In 2012, his real estate partner refinanced one of Trump’s most prized New York buildings for almost $1 billion. The debt included $211 million from the state-owned Bank of China — its first loan of this kind in the U.S. — which matures in the middle of what could be Trump’s second term.
Puerto Rican Parade in New York City … VIRTUAL!! … “They are a noble people who fight hurricanes with their hearts, and are still in God’s grace. We see that grace when they dance or dream or defend their island. In their connection with the earth, which so many others have lost. In the humble way, without fanfare or klieg lights or press conferences, that they pass their traditions onto their children.”
Puerto Rican eyes are all dark, with lots of yesterdays in them.
They are a noble people who fight hurricanes with their hearts, and s are still in God’s grace. We see that grace when they dance or dream or defend their island. In their connection with the earth, which so many others have lost. In the humble way, without fanfare or klieg lights or press conferences, that they pass their traditions onto their children.
It’s happening right now in New York City, with the tradition of the Puerto Rican Day Parade.
BORN IN STRUGGLE AND INJUSTICE
In 1958, some brave Boricuas held a modest parade and marched with pride, arm-in-arm, through the heart of Manhattan. Mothers clapped their hands…to the bombas and plenas of their childhood. Fathers schooled their children…explaining the floats dedicated to Puerto Rican towns known for sugar cane, tobacco, coffee, pineapples and plantains.
My Momoa Monday Moment continues. More information about Jason. This time of an incredible nature related to the COVID-19 pandemic spreading almost unchecked through this nation.
One of the vulnerable populations are Native Americans.
As COVID-19 cases on the Navajo Nation reach 1,042 with 41 deaths, the Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Fund is building momentum to address a food and water crisis in the area with support from actor Jason Momoa. A massive truck carrying 28 pallets with 1,540 cases of water was sent by Momoa to Tó naneesdizí (Tuba City) on Tuesday.
A group of volunteers led by Lt. Robbin Preston, Tuba City Distribution Team Leader for the Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief Effort, unloaded the donation and prepared it for immediate distribution throughout the crisis-stricken area.
“Water is life and shapes lives and the earth; it’s the power we draw life from,” said Lt. Preston.
Momoa, who is Native Hawaiian, heard about the Relief Fund through an article and offered a large donation of water through his company, Mananalu Pure Water, which is an effort to end single-use plastic drinking bottles and their devastating impacts on the environment.
According to the company’s website Mananalu means “a powerful wave of the sacred spirit of life.”
In the space of two months plus, when there were 15 COVID-19 cases, the amount has grown exponentially to 68,000+ deaths of American citizens.
Each one could have been a father, mother, brother, sister, grandpa, grandma, wife, husband, significant other, best friend … any relationship you may come up with.
Each number is a person, each number has a face, each number is a soul who left this earth more than likely before its time.
The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group led by George Conway, a Washington, D.C. lawyer who is married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, released a video targeting four Republican senators over their “spineless servility” to the president.
The group criticizes the Republicans for their “allegiance to Trump over the voters who elected them in their states.”

Trump’s failed presidency has left the nation weaker, sicker, and teetering on the verge of a new Great Depression.

He was sending this message decades before we started to realize what we were doing to our home, Earth. Nobody was listening, and now we have COVID19, will we take this message serious now or are we just too arrogant. MJ was way ahead of his time.
May his soul Progress through all Gods Worlds. Safe Journey brother.
