Get Ready To Vote For Joe Biden

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Paul Deaton

Now that the primary elections are behind us it is time to look ahead politically toward the general election.

Get ready to vote for Joe Biden as president.

Biden is the only thing standing between us and another four years of a president who seeks to dismantle everything we’ve come to know.

Think I’m exaggerating?

During the coronavirus pandemic the president has suggested cutting payroll taxes multiple times. If he did, it would be an assault on Social Security and Medicare.

Donald Trump repeatedly said if elected to a second term he would cut Social Security and Medicare to address his out of control budget. Twice (Jan. 23 & March 2) he walked those comments back tweeting he would protect Social Security and Medicare. Which is it? Do you trust him?

Even today as the Congress contemplates a new pandemic relief bill Republicans are talking about raiding the Social Security Trust Fund. Some view the trust fund as a piggy bank they’d like to break open and spend if they could.

I’m not concerned for myself but for our daughter and her cohort. Since I was a teenager I knew there would be something to retire on in Social Security and contributed through payroll taxes for 50 years. I’d like the programs to be solvent and available for them.

Is Biden perfect? No. Get over it. Get ready to vote for Joe Biden on Nov. 3.

A Fractured People

Our current pandemic situation is bad enough without the grim weight of a fractious political overlay. But we have one, and at times it’s discouraging to the point of flattening a person. Yet there may be cause for hope: In 1981, the nation faced a very different pandemic as AIDS emerged in urban communities. It gave rise to cultural and political responses as well.

“It serves them right,” was heard across the country, with the unspoken corollary being “…for what they do in the bedroom.” As debased as America’s level of awareness is now, it was then incapable of a humane response to a disease besetting the community of gay men. An influential sector of our body politic found expression in our president, Ronald Reagan.

His response to AIDS was…not to respond. For all the post-mortem hagiography, and despite any temptation to compare him even a bit favorably to our current disaster-in-chief, Reagan’s response to the pandemic of AIDS was monstrous. The words “malign neglect” are surely apt, but do not begin to evoke the murderous wall of silence that was his response to AIDS. Major US cities were being ravaged. Physicians were bewildered, some frightened and foolish. All manner of superstition and fear gripped people and stood with no rebuttal for years. Patients could be turned away, left literally to fend for themselves  against a relentless viral foe.

With no guidance from American political leaders, it took years and a savage loss of life for the response to form. Meanwhile, LGBT America faced AIDS head-on themselves, in urban communities of love and untold effort. They did their own nursing, feeding, and  literal heavy lifting. Then, they shouldered the burden of advocacy—navigating the mazes of health care, public assistance, legal battles, and any challenge you can imagine.

AIDS had been identified through clusters of illness in 1981. ACT UP formed in protest in 1987. Enraged by the horrors of a national silence that left corpses in its wake, gay men became the voice of a pandemic. Early on, they were joined by scientists, public health workers, and attorneys. Later, politicians and celebrities came on board. Realizing this pandemic was wiping out vast tracts of American culture itself, people rose in protest, led by the survivors and caregivers of the LGBT community.

COVID-19 is a different virus than the HIV that brought us AIDS. We were warned it was coming. Once again, a US president chose to ignore an impending pandemic, but only until it grew to threaten his political future. Then he quickly pivoted to politicize it in every aspect.

As I write, VP Mike Pence is in Iowa to nudge skittish churches into holding in-person services despite rising case numbers. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has opened malls, fitness centers, and tanning salons in spite of data, touting data-driven decisions. The only reason this makes even distorted, marginal sense is that testing is restricted here. The Gov. calls it ‘fishing where the fish are.’ Sufficient testing is happening only in counties home to stricken meat plants.

The fear inspired by COVID-19 is not the fear inspired by HIV/AIDS. In 1981, our fear was a superstitious plague-fear. Today, the politically powerful fear their inept handling of the pandemic will reveal an overall unfitness to govern. Today, those who desperately need jobs are forced to live jammed into the space between a paycheck and exposure to an illness they may not be able to survive or pay for if it hits. Today, we face fear of economic collapse and massive unemployment.

AIDS took much from us. But it also gave us something. Voices raised in purpose and well-focused anger changed history, overcoming a bigoted inertia. We may also create something better out of the ravages of the COVID era.

It is possible people will realize the cruelty with which they are being treated by those who swore they would never be forgotten again. The lie of the president stands revealed. It will be up to Americans on both sides of our political divide to decide what to do with the truth of our own time.

We are divided, and yet the horribly sharp, potentially destructive razor’s edge driven between us is thin. So thin. If we can wear it down, perhaps a fractured people will knit itself back together. If so, Carl Sandburg’s I am the People, the Mob will read as prophesy:

When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of   yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool—then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: “The People,” with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision. The mob—the crowd—the mass—will arrive then.

Statement By Our Last Real President Barack Obama

Posted on June 1, 2020 by Trish Nelson

npr.org/2020/05/29/865295468/obama-on-george-floyds-death-and-the-maddening-normalcy-of-racism

I want to share parts of the conversations I’ve had with friends over the past couple days about the footage of George Floyd dying face down on the street under the knee of a police officer in Minnesota.

The first is an email from a middle-aged African American businessman.

“Dude I gotta tell you the George Floyd incident in Minnesota hurt. I cried when I saw that video. It broke me down. The ‘knee on the neck’ is a metaphor for how the system so cavalierly holds black folks down, ignoring the cries for help. People don’t care. Truly tragic.”

Another friend of mine used the powerful song that went viral from 12-year-old Keedron Bryant to describe the frustrations he was feeling.

The circumstances of my friend and Keedron may be different, but their anguish is the same. It’s shared by me and millions of others.

It’s natural to wish for life “to just get back to normal” as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us. But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly “normal” — whether it’s while dealing with the health care system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in a park.

This shouldn’t be “normal” in 2020 America. It can’t be “normal.” If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives up to its highest ideals, we can and must be better.

It will fall mainly on the officials of Minnesota to ensure that the circumstances surrounding George Floyd’s death are investigated thoroughly and that justice is ultimately done. But it falls on all of us, regardless of our race or station — including the majority of men and women in law enforcement who take pride in doing their tough job the right way, every day — to work together to create a “new normal” in which the legacy of bigotry and unequal treatment no longer infects our institutions or our hearts.

Fairs? Fourth of July? What’s Going On?

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Dave Bradley

Image (2) countyfair01-big-150x150.jpg for post 26624

Summers have a schedule. The time out of school for kids have time posts that mark the passage of the time until school starts rolling again.

Normally we would have just passed time post #1 which is Memorial Day. In towns and cities that have public pools, that is usually also the day that the pool opens for the summer. That is usually followed by the official end of school, often early in June.

Next on the summer schedule especially for the younger kids is summer baseball and softball leagues. That usually takes up. Much of the month of June. As the local baseball and softball winds down the county fair circuit starts to wind up for the year.

As the ball winds down and the fairs start up, Independence Day sneaks in to remind us what of our history and where we live. After the Fourth of July and all the fireworks the fair season gets into full swing. For the kids in small towns this is usually a time for some pretty heavy involvement. Many of the kids in the small towns are involved in 4H or have projects on their own that they exhibit at the fair.

The county fair circuit runs until the Iowa State Fair takes center stage usually around the middle of August. Usually hot, always bright the Iowa State Fair seems to be the standard by which all state fairs are judged. For Iowans, the state fair is a great break from the farm or the office, a place to see the new geegaws and try some strange foods.

And then it is time for school to start again.

As with everything, the Fourth of July and the county and state fairs will be affected by the coronavirus. School has been on a hiatus since the middle of March. Decisions have yet to be made as to what the next school year will look like. Right now it looks like the best idea to find out if there is a Fourth of July celebration in your area, the best way to find out would be to google your area’s celebration. My guess is that this will be a very quiet Fourth.

If you hadn’t heard it, both the Minnesota State Fair and the Wisconsin State Fair have been cancelled for this year.

The county fairs, however, did form an association a couple of years ago. They do have a website where they are tracking Iowa’s county fairs. At first glance it looks like a lot of fairs are cancelled until next year. If your county fair is not listed, once again google the fair by name. As the dates get closer, decisions will be made on whether to hold a fair this year.

For right now here is the list from their website: (ed. note: I believe these are in date order)

vote by mail

hat tip to EarlG at democraticunderground.com

A gentle reminder that Iowa’s primary vote officially takes place this Tuesday, June 2nd. Or perhaps it would be best said that Tuesday is your last chance to vote, since absentee balloting has been available for the past month. You can find your polling place here.   This year it may be a good idea to check the SoS website to see where you vote as it has been reported that fewer polling locations will be open because a lighter in person vote is expected and poll workers will be hard to get.

If you sent in an absentee ballot, you can check to see if the auditor got it here.    

We need our best candidates out there for the general election this fall! 

Can it get any worse? Maybe I shouldn’t say that.

Legislature Back Wednesday

Posted on May 30, 2020 by Dave Bradley

Pennsylvania legislator lets loose with a very deserved rant concerning the fact that Republicans in the legislators were positive for corona virus while meeting with Democrats who were never told about the Republicans being positive (12 minutes)

This situation is a microcosm of the difference between the Democratic Party who care about us as humans and Republicans who, as one Republican said last week, see people as “human capital stock.”  

Almost a side note this year because of the devastation caused by the mishandling of the corona virus pandemic, the Iowa legislature will be back to finish up their session Wednesday. Most people probably have no idea what the legislature was doing when they left. I have no idea.

One good thing I heard is that Representatives Ruth Ann Gaines and Chris Hull will be requesting an investigation by the Government Oversight Committee into Test Iowa: 

“Rep. Ruth Ann Gaines and Rep. Chris Hull requested a Government Oversight investigation into Test Iowa when the session resumes on June 3rd. The call follows several questions and issues with the rollout of the program Governor Reynolds has repeatedly touted as a tool to expand COVID-19 testing in Iowa.

It’s clear that Test Iowa failed to meet the goals outlined by Governor Reynolds. Iowa taxpayers are on the hook for $26 million and they deserve to know whether their money is being spent wisely,” the lawmakers said in the letter sent Thursday.

Governor Reynolds awarded two Utah companies a $26 million contract to operate Test Iowa. No-bid contracts are legal in Iowa under declarations of emergency, like the one in place for COVID-19.

The letter cites several documented issues with Test Iowa, including questions about the number of tests performed, the accuracy of those tests, the secrecy surrounding the tests and results, long wait times for results and faulty equipment.”

There is lots to be investigated in Reynold’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic in Iowa. We really, really need to learn from her many mistakes so they are not repeated in future similar situations.

There are possibly a couple of things on the downside. The first is the budget. Due to the pandemic revenues have really dried up. I am sure with the daily double of an Iowa legislature and the governorship in the hands of Republicans, we can expect the greatest brunt off funding cuts to be in programs that affect poor and older Iowans.

There is another concern. With the spotlight Trump has focused on vote by mail, I fear the legislature may try to mess with Iowa’s election laws, especially the vote by mail system we have in Iowa. I am not a lawyer. I believe that passing laws that would affect the upcoming election so close to the election may not pass court scrutiny. However,  if there is a crack to squeeze such a bill through, I fear we may see it.

Let us hope the legislature comes together to work for the good of Iowans and not for for the good of their party as we have often seen the Republicans do in recent years.

Pelosi Heads Off Distraction

Posted on May 30, 2020 by Dave Bradley

Video 5 minutes:

Egberto Willis’s commentary is right on.

Pelosi’s comment that “As far as these platforms are concerned they want 2 things from the federal government – no regulation and no taxes” (at 1:38) perfectly describes the social media giants.

Don’t forget that Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan. She helps with the distraction in her own little way.

Pelosi’s message is the message that our media should be hammering, hammering home daily. 100,000+ Americans have died already from the coronavirus pandemic due almost entirely to the incredible bad, some would say criminal, leadership of Trump. 100,000+. That is a city the size of Davenport – gone!

100,000+ in really just short 3 months. At this rate, and with the “reopening” of society we should be expecting huge numbers of deaths to come.

100,000+ – Got it?

Corporate DC Lobbyists Dictate Senator Joni Ernst’s Every Move 

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Trish Nelson

As Over 14,500 Iowans File New Jobless Claims, Corporate DC Lobbyists Dictate Senator Joni Ernst’s Every Move

DES MOINES, IA — More than 200 trade groups represented by D.C. lobbyists sent a letter to Congress yesterday, revealing the marching orders prompting Senator Ernst’s sudden doubling down on legal immunity for corporations from employees who get sick due to unsafe conditions at work. When pressed on her vision for the next coronavirus relief legislation, Ernst’s first priority wasn’t Iowa workers, it was making sure “that there are liability protections in place for those businesses.”

This comes as the U.S. Department of Labor reports that 14,586 Iowans filed new jobless claims last week, demonstrating the continued economic toll this coronavirus crisis is taking on working families.

Iowa Forward spokesperson Mazie Stilwell issued this statement in response to the letter and new jobless claims:

“While workers and their families continue to suffer, Senator Ernst is committed to doing exactly what these D.C. lobbyists have instructed: ensure the corporations they represent get a free pass to ignore the safety of their workers. This is no exception for Ernst. Her voting history falls in line with the corporate special interests that fund her campaign: voting to allow insurance companies to discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions, voting against expanded unemployment benefits, and voting against paid sick leave. Couple that record with a refusal to provide state and local governments the funding they need to keep police officers, firefighters, EMS workers, and teachers on the job without the guarantee of corporate immunity, and it’s pretty clear that these lobbyists have Senator Ernst by the puppet strings.

BACKGROUND

For weeks, Senators Ernst and Grassley refused to take a position on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s dangerous plan for state and local governments to explore the “bankruptcy route,” instead of receiving the federal aid that bipartisan mayors desperately need to avoid laying off police officers, firefighters, EMS workers, and teachers.

Now, Senators Ernst and Grassley are both supporting McConnell’s decision to hold this aid to state and local governments hostage, and giving corporations a free pass to endanger workers is his ransom demand. His red line in the next congressional relief package is ensuring that corporations are able to abdicate their responsibility to their workers. McConnell has made it clear that without offering corporations complete immunity for dangerous behavior, they would not help state and local governments, who are currently bearing the economic brunt of this crisis.

Joni Ernst voted to let insurance companies discriminate against pre-existing conditions: Senate Vote 168, 7/25/17; CBO 6/26/17; Senate Vote 337, 10/30/19

In March, Senators Ernst voted to prevent an extra $600 in unemployment benefits from helping Iowans who have lost their jobs as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Senator Ernst voted to remove paid sick leave from a coronavirus relief bill on March 18, 2020.
