It Happens.

USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA} director Scott Pruitt has finally resigned.

He should never have been appointed by Trump and should never have been approved.
It was no secret that Pruitt was in the back pocket of big oil.
Indeed, prior to becoming the EPA director, he spent much of his time
repeatedly suing the EPA.
Like Trump, he cares not for the welfare of the 99%, but primarily for $$$
and any way he can get it.

But, this sort of appointment by the worst US president in history is not uncommon.
Just take Department of Education director Betsy DeVos.
Yes, please, someone take her out of government.
She's never held an education job, and like Trump has no idea what she's doing.
She got the job, because her mom helped found AMWAY and donated lots
of $$$ to the Trump campaign.

Getting back to Pruitt. He did the opposite of protect the environment during
his short tenure as EPA chief.
He rolled back emission standards on autos and air pollution.
He also lifted bans on harmful chemicals.

But oddly, his resignation had little to do with the harm he has inflicted on the
welfare of humans & wildlife.
Instead, there are now at least 13 charges of unethical behavior during his short stay in office.
And his resignation will have little affect on the charges. They will continue to be determined in courts.

Unfortunately, Trump's replacement for Pruitt is in the back pocket of coal.
What a surprise - not !
One can expect future jailbirds to flock together.

Pruitt's resignation is now the 15th Trump cabinet appointee or white house staff person hired that has quit, or been fired.

I just heard this announced & haven't heard enough to offer informed commentary.

I wish them well

152 years ago today was also Good Friday.
That evening, Abraham Lincoln attended a performance of the play 'Our American Cousin' at Ford's Theater.
He was shot during the performance and died the next morning, April 15, 1865.

Exactly 47 years later, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on the night of April 14 and sank the morning of April 15.



For the record, April 14, 1912 was NOT Good Friday. It was the first Sunday after Easter.

Iam both happy and sad. Happy that the missing Air Asia is found and sad since no survivor is found. But I'm just curious why the missing Malaysian plane with all the highly developed countries merging their efforts and resources couldn't find a trace of it till now? May the new yr give a glint of hop to its fate!

I had spotted what appeared to me to be an absolutely beautiful, clean, well dressed young woman on a dating site several years ago. Within a day, she asked me to leave the site and to move over to Yahoo Messenger. Almost from the beginning, something didn't seem right. I embarked on a nearly 24/7 intense, obsessive-compulsive search for answers to things that came up during different conversations that made no sense, contradicted themselves, were illogical, untrue and flat out lies. I soon discovered she was a known scammer (but not until I sent her money in Ghana). Over the next few months, I kept noticing her 'picture' on various dating sites, replete with different profile data. When I confronted her, she explained that she had 'modeled' some after 'college' (it was probably 'Trump university' because her spelling and grammar were atrocious), and that tons of her photos had been stolen. She always had some cockin-bull excuse each time I mentioned it. Despite this, I believe I had fallen in love with this individual. I found her main website in her real name, discovered her on a number of scammer websites that track known internet and romance scammers, and when I contacted her about this, she mysteriously, without notice took down her facebook page. Despite this, I continued to do something I may end up regretting for the rest of my life, and if ANYONE in America should have known better, it should have been me. See, I am former law enforcement with a degree in Criminology and Social Psychology. I had also attended two different graduate schools in an effort to get an advanced degree in law enforcement. However, the kicker is, I have been a practicing attorney for over 20 years, and have worked closely with the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, The U.S. Federal Police, The U.S. Treasury Department, The Defense Intelligence Agency and the U.S. Border Patrol. How do I turn this woman in and not screw my future because I suspect she's been running an illegal black market electronics re-shipping and re-selling business purchasing electronics in the U.S. using stolen credit cards and seeking my help sending them to Ghana for resale, ostensibly by her "sick" mother. For one of the only times in my life, I feel cornered and stumped.

Did nature designed a male body to conceive?
Will a child born from a male body be healthy?

One can only think that the news is not actually truth-and to believe that the news isn't only what they feed us is ignorance. The four major news companies in the US are owned by one person and even CNN and the others all all Hogwash...to believe in what they say about this person or that..or any news at all.....makes you a sheeple.
