G. Florence Scott is a whistleblower supporter. She began this odyssey some years ago in order to help people she knew who were fighting the good fight against the dark side of government and industry. Her goals in blogging are to give people moral and other support, let them know they are not as isolated as they may feel, share information which may reinforce or empower whistleblowers and the people who support them in their efforts.
Phoenix like in all important ways...determined that out of the ashes we will rise again.
Over the past few decades a lot of things have been done to take away power and autonomy from the voters, the people. The past 10 years, very aggressive efforts were made to take away the people's voice and ability to stand up to wrongdoing. In a way, it has been a sort of coupe.  [Read more]
Here is a link to a site where you can sign up to join the ranks of those who are fed up, totally. You can check out to see how the congressional and senate candidates stand on some key issues, which if handled well, might clean up the swamp a bit.

This is so sad. How many of these will we have to have before we start financing infrastructure? Most of our bridges are in sad shape.
I'm not sure how many of you have read the Seattle newspaper The Stranger. "Goldy" is a sudonym (I hope I spelled that right) - the writer is pretty hardcore and unrelenting on many progressive issues, gun ownership no exception.

[....] The rioting -- the worst social unrest to strike the country in many years -- was sparked by the lethal police shooting of a 69-year-old, knife-wielding man last week in the suburb of Husby, the epicenter of the riots. Roaming gangs of angry youths have since clashed with police and Husby residents have complained of racist treatment by police officers, who they say have used epithets such as "monkey."
