Intermission

A brief slowing of the speed with which we are headed off the cliff as the corrupt Biden regime ends.

Now about the pardons for Fauci, Milley, et al: A pardon isn’t a pass to avoid all consequences for your past actions. There are many, many people who lost loved ones and couldn’t even say goodbye or attend a funeral due to COVID. All you have to do is release all of the evidence that Fauci was complicit. Then release the addresses of his home, work, and other places he is likely to be. Heck, have Elon host a live tracker of his location. That will sort itself out.

Then recall Milley back to active duty. A pardon can only insulate you for prosecution for past crimes, not future ones. If he refuses to return, court martial him for desertion. When he DOES return, send him to the base in Antartica. Or better yet, let it be known that he assisted the Chinese in the COVID pandemic and send him on an accompanied fact finding tour to areas hard hit by the disease.

Still, there has been very little heat, light, or noise from the left. They haven’t given up, so I just wonder what is coming…

Executive Orders

Executive orders are orders written by the chief executive, instructing executive branch employees in how they are to carry out their duties. In the case of the Federal government, the chief executive is the President, of course.

I have long been highly critical of how Executive orders have been used. They cannot be used to create laws out of whole cloth, as that is the job of the legislature. What EOs can be used for, however, is to instruct federal employees in how they will carry out the duties that have been assigned to them by law, in my opinion.

So that brings us to our current problem- there are state and local governments that are refusing to abide by or even comply with the enforcement of Federal law. Namely, there are cities who are refusing to comply with ICE in removing illegal immigrants from our country. I would wholeheartedly approve of an EO instructing Federal employees to refuse to issue or approve ANY grants or Federal funding to any local government who declares itself to be a sanctuary city. That would also include providing access to Federal programs like the NCIC or any other crime related database to any police department who refuses to comply with Federal law.

The entire Federal grant system is based upon Presidential Executive Order No. 12372, which was issued by President Reagan in July of 1982. That EO allows states to establish a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to review proposed federal financial assistance. So Trump could simply modify that EO to make this happen.

The Feds have been tying funding to their edicts for decades. It’s how 21 became the national drinking age nationwide– it’s time that the Trump team begin playing the game.

Immunity

The left wants to know why Congress and the President are not supposed to be arrested while enroute to or in the midst of carrying out their mandated duties? This is why:

That’s Georgia State Senator Colton Moore being arrested for attempting to enter the Georgia State House chamber to attend the Governor’s State of the State address. He was banned by the Georgia Speaker of the House for daring to call the previous Speaker corrupt.

This is pure tyranny. He is a state Senator who is attempting to carry out his official duties and being denied that. Don’t tell me that you are protecting Democracy when the elected representatives of the people are being denied access to Legislative functions.

Don’t forget that it was Fulton County, Georgia that was so instrumental in the rigging of the 2020 election. This is where the supposed water main break allowed Democrats to add boxes of ballots to the vote tally virtually unobserved. It also gave iPads to Democrat attorneys from the ACLU, with those iPads having the ability to delete ballots without a record of the deletion.

Fulton County is also where the Grand Jury was empaneled that indicted Trump on election interference. It’s also where Giuliani was charged with similar crimes, and where he lost his defamation lawsuit against election workers.

Fulton County is the center of the leftwing communist movement in the South.

Milking It

Being a female dominated profession, nursing has quite a few new mothers. A couple of them are abusing the law to their advantage. The PUMP Act states that women must be permitted breaks so that they can be milked like a cow, and boy are some of them milking it.

While at work, I was instructed to cover one of these women’s patients while she went to go pump. She was gone for 2 hours. When she returned, she was only back for half an hour before she took a lunch break. After returning from that, she went to go pump again for another hour and a half. In all, she was off the floor for over 5 hours out of her 12 hour shift. When we told her that we thought she was taking too long, with even another woman telling her that it doesn’t take that long to pump, she replied that she can go as often and for as long as she deems necessary.

So we went to supervision to complain. They explained to us that there is nothing that they can do. Apparently, they had spoken to her about it, only to get a phone call from her lawyer the next day. So hands off. It’s so bad, that they are now afraid of her:

Last week, while I was covering her patients, I walked into the room of one of them to find a woman covered in blood, with large blood clots on the bed. She had a pulse of 120 and was complaining of belly pain. She had been lying there for over 2 hours like that. I intervened and went to the doctor. Turns out it was coming from her bladder, and I measured more than a liter of blood loss.

I got the patient straightened out before the nurse returned. About an hour later, I noticed on the telemetry board that the patient had a blood pressure of 80/50 and a heart rate of 120. I spoke to her and she told me that the patient would be fine. I went over her head to the charge nurse. Yeah, I dropped a dime on her.

The woman was taken to emergency surgery. The nurse? Nothing happened to her.

The very next day, same nurse had placed a patient on 2 liters of oxygen. The patient was in obvious distress with an O2 saturation of 78%. Another nurse saw this, took over care, called respiratory, and had the patient placed on BiPAP. Again, no repercussions for nurse slacker’s complete lack of anything competent.

I have told the charge nurse that I will not be placing my name anywhere on that nurse’s chart and refuse to watch over her patients while she is off the floor. I am not risking my medical license for that incompetent, lazy slacker of a nurse. You can’t make me assume care for someone else’s patients, especially when I already have 3 or 4 patients of my own.

Social Credit and Lynch Mobs

If you are on social media, you have likely seen the video of the Philadelphia Eagles fan confronting a woman wearing Packers gear. He called a woman a cunt on video, seemingly because she was a fan of the opposing team.

Taken at face value, what the guy did and said was crass and deserved punishment. having been to sporting events with Philly fans, I can tell you that no matter what the sport, the fans from that city are just like this guy. The woman’s husband, had he done something, would have gotten his ass kicked by the rest of the nearby Philly fans.

Still, Internet lynch mobs are a thing, and this guy was soon identified by Social Media busybodies. The league banned him from all future NFL events, and I really feel that justice was served at that point. The punishment fit the crime, so to speak.

Still, that isn’t enough to satisfy the Internet busybodies. They don’t stop until a person has been destroyed. They also identified his employer and went after his career, successfully, I might add.

It also turns out that there is likely much more to this story. It seems that the woman and her soon to be husband who were the target of this verbal abuse are so-called “influencers.” The pair specialize in starting conflict and then filming the resulting chaos.

Fans have discovered that the fiance of the woman abused by Caldwell, Alexander Basara, is actually a content creator with close to 60,000 subscribers on YouTube.

And to add to the suspicion, Basara and his other half only attended Sunday’s game after he created a GoFundMe page asking for donations to help get him there – despite claiming to live an hour away from Lincoln Financial Field.

Knowing this, it is entirely possible that the guy and his woman provoked Caldwell so they could get his reaction on film.

That’s the issue with cancel culture- the Internet lynch mobs gather and destroy people’s lives without a thought as to whether or not they should. This very blog was targeted by a Cancel Culture warrior who wanted to get me fired and deplatformed. It was my readers who shot back and got her fired.

It shouldn’t be like that. It sucks that making a comment completely unrelated to work can result in the Internet gang looking to dox you so they can have you fired. Those are the rules we are being forced to live under, even if they do suck.

Evil Men are Evil

That guy who attacked me and a pregnant doctor last month? Less than 48 hours after making bail, he got in a loud argument with his girlfriend. A neighbor called the cops, and she asked them to help her leave because she was afraid of him. While the cops were there, the neighbors told them that he was ranting about the hospital and how he had a score to settle with one of the nurses there. (Any guesses as to who he is referring to?)

An hour later, the cops were called back to the location because he went after the neighbor for calling the cops. He was arrested again for disturbing the peace and assault. The state is actually still moving forward with the charges.

As to the threats, I am armed all of the time. I also train in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am about 80 pounds heavier than he is, I am armed, and I train. A condition of his bail is that he can’t come within 500 feet of me. If he wants to come after me, he is going to have a very bad day before he winds up going back to jail, the hospital, or the coroner’s office.

On a side note- why do these assholes always attack me during the Christmas holidays? Back in 2022, I was suspended for an investigation when some idiot attacked me at work.

Fireproof Houses

One of the items in my discussion on the fires in LA, I posted that there are problems with building homes out of fireproof materials. Someone asked what that could be, and I would like to expand on that a bit. Let me begin by saying that I am not an engineer, so I will be giving you a firefighter’s perspective on this, meaning that my knowledge is broad but shallow on the topic.

Building homes to be entirely fireproof has long been a goal. Attempting this is how we wound up with things like Asbestos. One of the things that was tried in the wake of the Chicago fire in 1871 was to build homes with a fireproof roof. In the aftermath of that fire, a great many homes in the US were built with slate roofing tiles. It appeared as though the problem was solved. No more would fire brands land on your roof and burn down your house.

Until 1900, when a hurricane struck Galveston, Texas. The storm was estimated to be a Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The winds of the storm, estimated to be over 140 miles per hour, ripped those slate tiles from the roofs of the homes, and many people were killed by these flying stone axes.

It’s difficult to find building materials that withstand all conditions, and when you do, those materials make building homes prohibitively expensive. Even were one to build homes like that, the radiant heat coming through the glass of the windows will ignite materials inside of the house.

It is still a cheaper and easier solution to manage forests, create a defensible space around your home, and take other preventative measures. The issue is that people who move to “the country” like having the woods and other plant materials growing right next to the house.
