Karney Klaims He Has A Plan To House The Homeless. Sounds more like a chance to diss those who have krossed him:
Wilmington Mayor John Carney said the city does have plans for those still residing at the unhoused encampment at Christina Park, despite the intention to close it on June 15.
In an after-hours press release sent Friday at 6 p.m., Carney responded to a Wilmington City Council resolution passed Thursday night, asking for details about the city’s plans for when the park is returned to normal operations.
Carney said they have identified 20 beds are two unidentified housing programs that would offer case management and wrap-around services.
The Wilmington Housing Authority will offer temporary storage of personal items, and will cover the cost of emergency hotel and motel stays for anyone in Christina Park who cannot access one of those 20 program beds.
Carney did call out Council President Trippi Congo and Councilwoman Shané Darby, who both threatened Thursday night to freeze any legislation proposed by the Mayor’s Office until the unhoused situation is resolved.
“(They) have not been actively at the table to bring collaborative solutions forward or to hear about what is currently happening at the park. When they are ready to roll up their sleeves, we will be here doing the work,” Carney’s statement read.
That’s, what’s the word I’m looking for, a lie. He’s all of a sudden found a solution to a problem he created? With two unnamed programs?
Can you say ‘Friday afternoon news dump’?
I’m Repeating My Prediction–Trump Will Not Be President Come The End Of 2026:
Being a paramedic sucks.
The hours suck. The pay is insulting. We get no respect. We are treated like ambulance drivers and expected to just do as we are told. We aren’t treated like medical professionals despite the years of training we have.
Did you know as a paramedic I can show up, start an IV, intubate (Put a breathing tube down your throat), give you a massive number of different medications, interpret an ECG (Which aside from doctors, no one else can do) all while moving at 60 mph?
When it comes to the things I am able to do, the list is actually insane. Here is a skill that I can do that will shock you. I am trained and capable of taking a scalpel to your neck, cutting it open, and putting in a breathing tube.
That’s right, you know that bullshit you see on Chicago fire or 911? Where they use a straw to breathe for someone through their actual throat? I’m trained to do that, except the right way.
Yet people see me as a stretcher jockey.
It comes down to one single thing I can’t do. I cannot diagnose. I can know what is wrong. I can treat what is wrong. I can even fix what is wrong. I just cannot officially tell you what is wrong.
This guy is great. Snark galore. ‘Felonious Chunk’ is a perfect monicker. Read the whole thing. But here’s where he departs from the conventional wisdom:
Most of the doctors who have talked to the news have stated that they believe they have been tracking the mental decomposition of Trump’s brain. They think they are monitoring the obvious growing neurological impairments that Trump keeps displaying.
I’d challenge that. Why? Because fuck them guys.
Trump is suffering from symptoms of chronic heart failure (CHF). That is caused when the heart cannot pump blood through the body without backing up. That is what causes all that swelling and edema. It is why if you could use his ankles like silly putty and capture scenes from Marmaduke in the newspaper with it.
There are a lot of different causes of CHF. More often than not it is caused by BLC, or commonly known as bad life choices. The heart no longer has the strength it needs due to stress, damage, and other circumstances.
It isn’t fatal. It does cause people to not sleep at night well because if they are not sleeping with a c-pap machine then they are sleeping elevated to stop the fluid from backing up into the lungs and causing them to stop breathing.
Except that doesn’t explain why he has been getting a CT scan EVERY three months. A significant number of medical professionals are dead set that they are worried about his mental decline, and they are trying to make sure he still has all neurologic functions.
I think that there is something more dangerous that his medical team is monitoring and tracking. I think that what they are monitoring closely isn’t his mental health. It is the time bomb in his belly.
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is what happens when the Aorta (Main blood delivery system to the heart) starts to get a bulge in it. The side wall of the Aorta starts to push outward. It is a serious life-threatening condition.
If a AAA ruptures, which they are prone to do, then unless you are physically on an operating table under bright lights with a skilled surgeon, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
The AAA makes the CHF worse which also explains why he has the pitting edema in every extremity. Edema is what happens when there is a fluid leakage from the blood vessels and the body’s natural drain system (The Lymphatic system) isn’t able to filter out all the excess fluid from the blood.
It causes that ‘sloshy’ looking skin that if you press into, leaves an indent. When you know what you are looking for, you can spot pitting edema across the room just by the socks the person is wearing.
I also want to take a moment and explain something important here. There is obvious mental decline happening with Trump. I told you I was going to approach this like a paramedic, and that means we handle life threats first. The immediate life threat is the AAA and CHF.
I won’t say what all of us are thinking/hoping.
Another Prediction–When It Comes To The World Cup, Everything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong:
Thousands of workers at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium are threatening to strike, citing insufficient pay and plans for ICE officers to be present at the World Cup — and raising the possibility that the massive soccer tournament could start without workers to sell food and drinks to spectators.
Unite Here Local 11, which represents more than 2,000 cooks, dishwashers, concession workers, bartenders and servers at SoFi, announced Friday that members voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike.
The vote took place just one week out from when the stadium is set to host its first World Cup match.
Union members have been working without a contract since their previous agreement with stadium operator Legends Global expired last year, giving them the power to strike at any moment. They resumed bargaining over a new contract at the beginning of this year, but called for a strike vote in late May, citing a lack of progress over key issues including wages, ICE’s role at the games, and the erosion of good jobs as a result of automation and subcontractors.
Management “raises prices every year for sales, but our wages stay stagnant,” Mike Burgh, a bargaining committee member and catering bartender at SoFi, told HuffPost. “We’re just asking for a respectful cost adjustment, and they’re playing lowball with us.”
“I’m one of the thousands of workers behind every meal prepared, every drink served, and every guest experience at the World Cup,” bargaining committee member and suites runner Yolanda Fierro said in a statement. “Fans from around the world will come expecting an unforgettable event, and we take pride in making that happen. But no worker should have to fear being separated from their family or worry about dangerous ICE activity while simply doing their job.”
SoFi, the most expensive sports venue in the world, is set to host eight World Cup matches and is expected to seat 70,000 spectators. In Seattle, which is hosting six matches, unionized hotel workers represented by Unite Here Local 8 authorized a separate strike on Friday, pushing for better pay, healthcare coverage and protections from ICE.
“FIFA runs a soccer tournament, not Los Angeles,” Petersen said last month. “No one elected Gianni Infantino or Donald Trump to rule Los Angeles. No one gave FIFA the power to decide who is safe and who is hunted, and no one, no one gets to bring ICE into our city,” he continued, as workers behind him began chanting, “SHUT IT DOWN, SHUT IT DOWN!”
