California hits ‘very high’ COVID levels – Los Angeles Times

Coronavirus levels in California’s wastewater are now estimated to be significantly higher than last summer. And in Northern California two of the largest sewersheds, covering San Jose and Palo Alto in Santa Clara County (the region’s most populous county), reported high levels of the virus in wastewater.

Also, the rate at which COVID tests are coming back with positive results in California has almost reached last summer’s peak. For the week that ended July 8, 13% of reported tests came back positive; the rate for the comparable week a month earlier was 4.8%. The latest positive test rate almost exceeds the peak from last summer, which was 13.1% in late August and early September.

Project 2025 Will Scare Americans into Voting for All Pro-Democracy Candidates – Gronda Morin

1978-2015
I don’t care what the political punditry, Washington DC elites, powerful donors say, there’s no need to replace President Joe Biden with another candidate while they have no definitive proof of this step producing better results. The most recent polls don’t support that this drastic measure is necessary for democrats to prevail in November.
***
For democratic party candidates to win in November, Americans just need to focus on saving US democracy with its associated freedoms for ALL, and not just for the minority of conservative Christian nationalists along with wealthy far-right activists who since 1933 FDR’s New Deal, have been lobbying for less taxes, no government regulations and no safety-net programs like social security.

Raise Your Hands if You Have Hope 🙌🏼 | From Behind the Pen

In the spiritual environment that makes up our world, we try to hold on to hope with all our might when we see so much falling apart on every level surrounding our fragileness. The hope we have is an anchor for our soul.

When the order of things spins in disarray, we try to remain steadfast, hopeful, and to press onward in our pursuit of happiness, joy, and peace. Perseverance is our driving force, with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Some days, we want to throw in the towel and give up. But hope makes us stand still and hold on. Sometimes, we have to say nothing, do nothing, or respond to nothing. We are shrouded in a peace that surpasses all understanding, even when peace seems to elude our own knowledge and comprehension.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. -Hebrews 11:1
