Compare Obama & Trump on money in pocket, unemployment & inequality of income — let’s hoof back to Obama or re-create what Trump did?

Who did a better job on the economy — Obama or Trump — comparing money in the pocket, unemployment and inequality of income?

Obama fans  — read and weep!  Your hero Obama  stayed stuck in the mud.  This is from the Wall Street Journal Opinion page, Monday, August 3, 2020.

Money:   So did Obama or Trump put the most money in the pocket of  American families?     Comparing Obama with Trump as to which President did the best job raising  the annual medium income  (AMHI), Trump did twice as well as Obama.    That’s comparing Obama’s 8 years with the first two years of Trump’s administration.   (see WSJ,   The Economy That Obama Handed Trump Aug. 3, 2000).

Unemployment:   Unemployment and under-employment under Obama?   Remember the vast number of working-age people who were unable to find jobs and had given up actively looking for work during the Obama yaars?   The labor-force declined during Obama’s years and in Sept. 2015 it was the lowest since 1977.  Millions during those 8 years  were not working.  Remember all the people who  were reduced from full to part-time employment due to ObamaCare insurance rules?  In comparison, prior to the pandemic Trump’s policies  have encouraged job growth and put increased the well-being of workers and that of their families. [Teresa & Rich Guerriello’s Letter]

Income inequality:      How come so much more inequality?   Obama or Trump related?    Under Obama, after a full four years in office the unemployment rate was higher than when Obama took office Jan. 20, 2009.  This high unemployment rate persisted because it was the weakest expansion rate since the 1940s.   During  the 8 years of Obama with low economic growth and high unemployment, income inequality increased.    [Lee Huffman]

Aptos Psychologist:  Lately the drum beats by progressives and mainstream   media are getting louder and louder  about ‘income inequality’  that exists between ‘whites’ and Afro-Americans.  Progressives connect the increasing  income inequality between whites and blacks to ‘structural racism’ and ‘white supremacy’ .    Those are made up constructs of which there’s considerable discussion lately.

Why not just face the economic facts that during  Obama’s economy there was considerable increase in income inequality. That was there before Trump took office.

Why do you hate Trump? Be specific!

So why do you hate Trump?  Be specific!

Trump  does not ‘act Presidential’ some say.    That’s what  William  DeLaArteaga  writes  in his recently published essay    On Discerning Trump’s Character and Presidency. It’s available on Amazon with  Kindle for $3.50.  DeLaArteaga says Trump is full of ‘bull-shit’,  that Trump is a  narcissist and  not a  ‘gentleman President’.

A writer for the Wall Street Journal, David Gelernter  says that  people  hate Trump for his vulgarity, that he won’t walk away from a fight, that he’s blunt and that  Trump  has no ideology.   Gelernter also  says some hate Trump because he does not think men and women are interchangeable and because of  Trump’s  love of simple ideas that may work  e.g., the recent view that perhaps   a malaria drug used for 50 years can  used as a preventative or cure for COVID-19.

So — why do you hate Trump?  Don’t just say ‘he lies!   Or, he’s a racist!  Be specific!

Remember — Seattle’s Nakamura U.S. Courthouse named for 20 year old Japanese-American hero

Remember — Seattle’s besieged federal courthouse is named after a young, 20 year old Japanese-American soldier and hero  named Nakamura.

This young soldier in 1942, shortly  after he and his family were interned, joined the Army’s famous 442 Regimental Combat Team  and  two years later  saved his platoon by destroying the enemy’s machine gun nest and covering the  withdrawal of his platoon.   In 1944, Nakamura  lost his life to save fellow  American lives.

Nakamura  was the first Army volunteer from Minidoka Relocation Center (an internment camp) to be killed in action.  In 2000, President Clinton presented  22 war heroes with Medals of Honor;  these soldiers   had been denied Medals of Honor at the time on account of their Asian ancestry.

Aptos Psychologist:  Asian lives matter.  All lives matter.

hydroxychloroquine, Plaquenil: Facts and Side Effects

——–

Aptos Psychologist:   Let people have access to information about possible ways to prevent COVID-19.  There’s doctors out there who are convinced that hydroexchloroquine does work both as a preventative and for treatment of COVID-19  in conjunction with zinc and other medications.  Front line doctors need the flexibility to make decisions with their patients as how to proceed.        drcameronjackson@gmail.com

Prevent COVID-19? Take 200 mg of hydroxychloroquine twice a week say frontline MDs

Want to prevent getting COVID-19?  Consider taking that anti-malaria drug.   The one which  President Trump takes.

A group of frontline  MDs recommend for prevention of COVID-19 that   you take a low dosage —200 mg   — of anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine  twice a week for prevention of COVID-19 . Very important, also  take the mineral zinc.

This was one of the recomendations of a  group of frontline medical doctors during a press conference in Washington D.C. on 7/22/2020.

  Hydroxychloroquine   is viewed as a life-saving medication for both prevention and treatment of  COVID-19 by these M.Ds.  

A group of MD’s  explained why they support  the anti-malaria drug for prevention and as a possible cure for COVID-19 during  a press conference 7/28/2020.

Their main point is that the public should have access to information and make up their own mind — not be spoon fed one side of the story by the press and supposed  medical experts. Dr.   Fauci  — who has been in his job since 1984 –  strongly  supported the anti-malaria drug 15 years ago;  now he opposes it. Why the flip flop?   

Dr.Faui  has not seen an actual patient for treatment  in 20 years;  these medical doctors say that Dr. Fauci needs to meet regularly  with actual MDs who are on the front lines treating the virus.

  Dr. Emanuel — on Twitter –  was one of the doctors excoriating Dr. Fauci for being out of touch with front line doctors who treat patients. Dr. Emanuel said she has treated 300 patients — many with co-morbid conditions (diabetes, obesity, heart) and all of them were helped by use of the anti-malaria medication in conjunction with other meds.       

Gist of what  these  frontline MD’s said:

Facts:  Several randomized studies show no health benefits for the drug.  One was in the New England Journal of Medicne.  That patients treated do show improvement is also a fact. The drug works.  This drug has been used variously, e.g.  for rheumatoid arthritis, lupis and malaria.  Why limit the use of the is drug by MDs?   Doctors who do the treatment need to have flexibility to use this drug.   So say this group of doctors.

Pay attention to deaths caused by the virus — and ignore the case numbers which are irrelevant.    The  media focuses on case numbers which don’t matter.    It’s deaths that matter and   numbers of deaths by COVID-19  are hard to get.

Children need and must get   back to school.  Children are the least affected and young children don’t pass it on.

Unions are stopping the opening of the schools.  One of the MDs, Dr. James Tadaro,  who said he was from California said that it’s the unions which keep the schools closed.   The American Federation of Teachers (AFT)  in CA seeks to defund the police and to put a moratorium on charter schools. Dr. Todaro is on Twitter and has a website titled Medicine Uncensored.

Where to purchase the anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine.   It  is sold over the counter in many parts of the world including Iran and Indonesia.  It has been used safely for 50 years.  It is as safe as asprin say these doctors. Some pharmacies are interfering with MD’s prescription of the drug they say.

What  doseage  hydroxychloroquine   as a preventaitve?     For prevention of  COVID-19,  take 200 mg  (only) twice a week and also take   the mineral zinc. Your lungs are depleted of zinc they say.

And now Squarespace   – the website for these doctors –    REMOVED THEIR WEBSITE TODAY!
Tech giants Twitter, YouTube etc.,  are REFUSING to broadcast information on the use of an anti-malaria drug.

-Bring on the 2nd amendment [police cannot protect business owners in Seattle]

The Seattle police chief informs business owners that they are on their own against rioters. The city council has tied her hands. The police do not have the tools to combat mob violence . So who will protect against mob violence?   

The letter is a wonder to behold — a first for civil society in a modern industrialized country. Law enforcement telling the people they are sworn to protect that government won’t let them do their jobs and that any damage done to the business owners’ property isn’t the fault of the police.

Please also know that the City Council Ordinance 119805 Crowd Control Tool goes into effect this weekend on Sunday, July 26, 2020. This ordinance bans Seattle Police officers the use of less lethal tools, including pepper spray that is commonly used to disperse crowds that have turned violent. Simply put, the legislation gives officers NO ability to safely intercede to preserve property in the midst of a large, violent crowd.

It is important to bring to your attention that yesterday, I sent the City Council a letter ensuring them that as the Chief of Police, I have done my due diligence of informing them numerous times of the foreseeable impact of this ordinance on upcoming events. The letter is attached for your reference.

For these reasons, Seattle Police will have an adjusted deployment in response to any demonstrations this weekend – as I will never ask our officers to risk their personal safety to protect property without the tools to do so in a safe way.

erase history? change Cabrillo College name?

 

 

 

Erase history  or deal with it and move on?  Some seek to wipe out the name of Juan Rodriquez  Cabrillo from the Cabrillo College (Aptos, CA) name.

Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo was a Spanish explorer  of the CA coastline back in 1542. That’s 400 years ago.

Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo, who   claimed San Diego Bay for Spain, may be  permanently  scrubbed from Cabrillo College.  That depends on what the sub-committee  brings back to the full Board of Trustees and on  how the full  Board votes.

Madison Reach, who now attends U.C. Berkeley, took anthropology 6  at Cabrillo College.  This class is offered in the Spring every other year.   Reach says Cabrillo is a ‘documented serial rapist’ and that his name is ‘offensive’ to her.

So who taught  Anthropology  6 at Cabrillo?   What evidence was presented to students  that Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo,  was  a ‘serial rapist’  400 years ago  in 1542?  Google his name and one finds that   Juan Cabrillo, was Spanish, wealthy,  married  to a  Beatrice and that he  had two sons. Cabrillo missed discovering San Francisco Bay, got as far north as Point Reyes and  died due to an infection in his ankle while protecting his men under attack from natives. Oh dear — fighting with the natives caused his death.  How can we find out more?

How to find out more about Anthropology 6 which is offered at Cabrillo College?     Kristin Wilson is head of the department (831 477 3253).  She  probably knows who teaches the course on native CA cultures.  Whether  there’s ‘documented’ evidence that Cabrillo was a ‘serial rapist’ is ….  that seems unlikely.

Want to let the Board of Trustees know what you think?   Do you support an change in name or not?  How much will it cost for a name change?  Are there better purposes e.g.,  improve accessibility  to the college?

There are 7 Districts, Santa Cruz is in District 4, Aptos is in District 6 and the City of Watsonville has it’s own District, District 5.

The next meeting of the Board of Trustees is August 3, 2020 in Watsonville Center. The following Sept. 14 there’s a meeting in Aptos at the Sesnon House at 6 pm.

Madison Reach was the guest of the Saturday Special on AM 1080 on 7/25/2020. The Saturday Special, intended as a forum for expression of ideas, is hosted every Saturday morning from 10-12 noon by Michael Zwerling.

Will someone please  invite Dr Lewis — the New York pastor who offers Anti-Racist Workshops — to listen in? Ask questions?

The first workshop by Dr. Lewis asked people to take a Pledge:  to learn ‘the Story’ of racism,  and to change ‘the Story’ of racism. That was June 17 &18.  Her next one [go to www.middlechurch.org ] is July 22 and 23 at 4 PM California time.

Dr. Lewis’s opinion is that whites are responsible for racism against blacks and that the problem goes back to Thomas Jefferson and his published views — quite unfavorable –  on blacks.  Remember who Thomas Jefferson was?  That dude  who, totally, wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Trump and Biden square off on jobs — get things built (Trump) or re-regulate energy economy

Trump or Biden?  On jobs?  Which do you pick?

This is based on material  in the WSJ, Friday, July 17, 2020, The Campaign Finally Begins by Kimberly Strassel.

Trump plans ‘top-to-bottom’ overhaul of the federal environmental review process which stands in the way of nearly every infra-structure project in the country.  That would create millions of jobs, attract more business to American and make the USA more competitive.

Biden just  released his $2 TRILLION climate change plan, product of a task force co-chaired by Rep. Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez.

Biden vows to outlaw all use of coal and natural gas to generate electricity within 15 years.  He will ban oil and gas production on federal land and offshore. He seeks ‘zero emissions’ cars.  Biden is promising to delete the jobs of millions of Americans — at a times of soaring unemployment.  A ban on offshore drilling alone would cost 200,000 jobs and damage regional economies.  Basic consumer choice would disappear for vehicles, dishwashers, even homes.

Biden wants to massively re-regulate the energy economy.  Trump said,  “We want to get things built.”

Aptos Psychologist:  Let people live their lives free from as much regulation as possible.Let people go back to work when and  as they choose.    Open the schools.  Start new charter schools — which have fewer regulations –  if  teachers in union jobs  don’t want to teach.  Social distancing  issues can be worked out.  Masks and the wearing of them for long periods of time is   problematic  both in terms of cleanliness and simple breathing.

What say you?  Weigh in on the conversation about jobs, Biden and Trump.
