Give Credit Where Credit Is Due! | Filosofa’s Word

President Biden is doing the best he can, folks, given what he has to work with!  No one man can solve all the nation’s problems … he needs the help of others, but the only thing President Biden is getting from others is obstruction and criticism.  Thus far, I think he’s done a pretty damn…

GOP and Democratic governors reinstate Covid emergency orders to fight omicron surge

  • With a surge in Covid-19 cases across the nation, state officials are starting to reimpose emergency orders.
  • Officials from Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, Kansas and California have all announced executive measures since the beginning of January.
  • Instead of lockdowns and business closures, the orders are designed to free up resources so state and local agencies can prepare for the onslaught of cases.

McConnell waves off voting concerns since Black people turn out as heavily as ‘Americans’ – The Washington Post (Me: Can’t get much more racist…)

“What’s your message for voters of color who are concerned that without the John L. Lewis Voting Rights Act they’re not going to be able to vote in the midterm?” he asked.

McConnell replied, “Well, the concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”

JFJ has questions about Jamaica’s new Ministry of Legal and Constitutional Affairs

Petchary's Blog

In the recently reshuffled Cabinet, a whole new Ministry was created. Environment and Climate Change was kicked to the kerb (as I mentioned earlier) and a new Ministry of Legal and Constitutional Affairs was set up, to be headed by former Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte. The new Attorney General, Dr. Derrick McKoy, is a former Contractor General, and he is not a politician. He will not sit in Parliament.

Minister of Legal and Constitutional Affairs Marlene Malahoo Forte.

Minister Malahoo Forte made it clear in Parliament this week that she wants to ensure things are done properly. Laws should not be rushed through at the last minute. There must be timelines. Quite a few laws are still stuck in the nineteenth century.

And what of human rights? Minister Malahoo Forte says that “a comprehensive review of the Laws of Jamaica to make them compliant…

We Hardly Consider How Much Worse Things Could Have Been

MoTEnv — MTE

No matter the situation you’re in, things could have been much worse than they have been. If you unfortunately lose money, take note that you could have lost all your property. If you unfortunately lose your job, take note that you could have lost your life.

That’s just the way it is: generally, we’re not in charge of many things in life and in our lives. So, even if we get into a seriously challenging and trying situation—worst case scenario—we have to hope for the best outcome while being thankful that the trying situation isn’t much worse.

Accepting the challenges posed by your worst obstacles or unfortunate circumstances—rather than rejecting or resenting them—can help you become a different and stronger person who is better adjusted to the reality of the constraints or challenges from terrible situations.

The constraints in life can still lead us to our desired destination

Oftentimes, it…

Covid Casualties

RIP Michelle Stani – new mother

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Michelle Stani was a 37-year-old New Jerseyan. A devoted mother of three, she was working on a masters degree in early childhood education. She gave birth to her fourth child in December, but never got the chance to hold him.

She could be any professional woman in the prime of life. She was an attractive and energetic blonde, smart dresser, obviously intelligent and focused on kids. She could be any woman in any upper middle class neighborhood.

She died of Covid pneumonia less than three weeks after giving birth.

And Covid is a disease we’re supposed to learn to live with?

There’s a Go Fund Me account to raise funds for her surviving children.
