The first affirmative action President strikes again.
I’m sorry folks, but Bloodborne Pathogens 101 teaches day #1, Rule #1, that you do not use high velocity pressure to clean up OPIM (other potentially infectious materials) when dealing with bloodborne pathogen clean-up. Why? Because you run the risk of aerosolizing the virus.
And the Centers for Disease Control says:
“nothing to worry about folks, this could never happen here in the U.S.A “....
A Paradigm Shift is needed – Urgently. It cannot be provided to you, you must develop it within your own mind – and you’d better do it quick; or you will lose your capacity to trumpet !

If you are a regular reader of this site you are most likely a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events, and more than likely a root cause thinker.
Meaning you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.
However, for some reason even those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand regarding “motive”.
Most people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership. You must re-evaluate that thinking quickly – or, like the parents of Hannah Graham, you’ll be left asking ‘what happened’ far too late.
You’ll accept “passing it”, before “seeing what’s in it”…. (more…)
MONROVIA, Liberia — A man who flew to Dallas and was later found to have the Ebola virus was identified by senior Liberian government officials on Wednesday as Thomas Eric Duncan, a resident of Monrovia in his mid-40s.
Mr. Duncan, the first person to develop symptoms outside Africa during the current epidemic, had direct contact with a woman stricken by Ebola on Sept. 15, just four days before he left Liberia for the United States, the woman’s parents and Mr. Duncan’s neighbors said.
In a pattern often seen here in Monrovia, the Liberian capital, the family of the woman, Marthalene Williams, 19, took her by taxi to a hospital with Mr. Duncan’s help on Sept. 15 after failing to get an ambulance, said her parents, Emmanuel and Amie Williams. She was convulsing and seven months pregnant, they said.
Turned away from a hospital for lack of space in its Ebola treatment ward, the family said it took Ms. Williams back home in the evening, and that she died hours later, around 3 a.m. (more…)
DALLAS – Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County’s health department said Wednesday.
All who have been in close contact with the man diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, said Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services.
“Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient,” he said. “So this is real. There should be a concern, but it’s contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment.”

A long-standing Wisconsin reporter in the Milwaukee area, Meg Kissinger, was covering a campaign event featuring Michelle Obama giving a speech on behalf of Democrat Candidate Mary Burke.
Michelle is filling in for President Obama on the Wisconsin stump because President Obama is too toxic to be seen assisting a candidate. POTUS would not help.
The goal for Dems in Wisconsin is to defeat Conservative Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
The White House officials and candidate reps told the reporters they were NOT permitted to talk to the crowd at the event:
“Never seen anything like it in 35 years as a reporter covering dozens of political events,” she added on Facebook. “White House and Burke aides telling reporters we were not allowed to talk to the people on the other side of the rope. But that’s what reporters do: we talk to people. In America, that’s our job.”
Chris Brooks was arrested in 2013 for drug possession and dealing. It was the arrest leading to the commendation given to Darren Wilson. Chris Brooks, and his attorney, are hopeful Darren Wilson will be unable to testify in his case – ergo acquittal.
What better way to gain acquittal than to tie up the primary witness against you. *ahem* DUH *ahem* And the STL Asst. prosecutor, too chicken sh!t to identify himself, has chattering teeth filled with PC angst, so he has to go out of his way to allow the circus to avoid the illusion of impropriety…
After all, these Ferguson protestors see Burning Crosses in the reflection of the sunrise on the Teddy Bear memorial. Not exactly the most acute or sensible amid the grievance class in the Missouri electorate, gnome sayin’?
CLAYTON, Mo. — A county judge on Monday approved a request by prosecutors to let a grand jury review a 2013 drug case in which an arresting officer was the suburban St. Louis police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown last month.
An attorney for Christopher Brooks alleges Ferguson officer Darren Wilson “roughed up” his client after he refused to hand over the keys to a locked car parked in his grandmother’s driveway, where police say they found drug paraphernalia and several ounces of pot.
“Wilson is compromised as a witness,” said defense attorney Nick Zotos, who opposed the request by Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch’s office to shift the drug case to a panel that meets behind closed doors. (more…)
WASHINGTON DC – Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said Monday that he doesn’t believe lawmakers should cut their six-week break short to vote on authorizing military strikes in Syria.
“I think that the fact is that this matter will be considered in the lame-duck. Whether it will be passed in the lame-duck, I don’t know,” Mr. Hoyer said at a National Press Club event in D.C. “I do not believe it’s necessary nor do I think it’ll happen that we’ll come back before the lame duck, but it is my expectation we will start debate give the circumstances that exist today. […]
Many lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have said lawmakers need to return before then to vote to give the president authorization to strike the Islamic State in Syria. Speaker John A. Boehner said Sunday that he would consider bringing lawmakers back to D.C. early if President Obama asked him to. (read more)
