No Elected Official can be for both ending the impact of humans on Global Climate Change & also for

The Trans Pacific Plan.

The President came out last week for the TPP. (No surprise there - he has been one of the major architects of getting it passed, and of getting it passed quickly.)

But then this week he is all about ending the human equation side of Global Climate Change?

What a bit of forked tongue tomfoolery!

Has no one explained to him that when American jobs in manufacturing go over to third world nations, those third world workers do not have any environmental regulations in place? (This is one of the cost saving reasons that America's One Percent so highly favor basing our needed manufacturing in those third world nations.)

Anyway, I suspect the Great Speechifier knows all of this full well, but he wants that Quid Pro Quo.

IN a very few words, Australian media explains why the rush to get the TPP

Passed as quickly as possible:

Sydney Morning Heralsd

Increasing the pace is the imminent US election season. If there isn't an agreement within the next few months before it starts, political positioning will prevent the US sealing a deal until 2017 when the new president is in place.

####The powers that be know that the election season for Nov 2016 will shed a lot of light on the darkness of this "Trade Act."

On my business website, we have a special button that people click

To obtain some of our services.

A lady in Europe claims that the email link provided never works for her, yet none of our American clients ever have any complaints.


So my question:
Is it more difficult for a European to get through to an American business using the business' standard link?

Any and all answers appreciated.

Will candidate Bernie Sanders recognize the dangers of medicinal cannabis?

Apparently vast segments of the American population, and this probably includes Mr Sanders, do not understand some of the previously unrecognized dangers of medicinal pot:

While some in the Utah Legislature are now seeking to legalize medicinal cannabis, the DEA is pointing to some unrecognized dangers of marijuana, and hoping Utah's legislators come to their senses.

What are these dangers? Here is one headline, and it sounds pretty "Saturday night at the Fright Night drive in" --

The attack of the Stoned Bunnies!

About truedelphi

I joined DU following the election melt down that produced the second George the Lesser Term of Office. I am outraged by war, by out-sourcing of jobs, by Corporate control of both parties, and enheartened by my fellow citizens who are bravely part of "Occupy!"
