Perceptions of cognitive health: An ethnographic inquiry of rural older adults
Bacsu, Juanita Dawne
Degree LevelDoctoral
MetadataShow full item record
Approximately 500,000 Canadian seniors suffer from dementia and this number is projected to increase significantly. The prevalence of dementia rises substantially with age. Existing literature focuses predominantly on the perspectives of older adults who have been diagnosed with dementia, but little is known about the ways that healthy older adults without dementia support their cognitive health, especially within rural communities. It is important to study the perceptions of rural seniors as they often face important barriers to cognitive health service utilization which is compounded by geographic distance, insufficient public transportation, limited seniors' housing, and inadequate access to health and support services. Given the aging demographic in many rural communities across Canada, dementia has significant implications not only for individuals and their families but also for healthcare, community organizations, and government. The purpose of this study was two-fold: 1) to examine rural older adults' perceptions and meanings of cognitive health; and 2) to identify how healthy rural seniors maintain and support their cognitive health. Exploring the perceptions of cognitive health among specific groups such as rural older adults facilitates the development of appropriate programs and strategies to support dementia education and awareness. Guided by ethnography and working in collaboration with local community partners, data was collected through participant observation and two waves of semi-structured interviews. Participants included 42 healthy older adults without dementia, aged 60 and older, in the rural communities of Watrous and Young, Saskatchewan, Canada. Drawing on the World Health Organization's Active Aging Framework and a combination of lay theory and cultural schema theory, thematic analysis was conducted to identify key themes, patterns, and relationships within the data. Findings revealed a more complex and multidimensional view of cognitive health than previously cited in the literature. Based on the findings of this research, a Rural Cognitive Health Framework consisting of four key domains including intellectual health, social health, emotional health, and functional health was produced. Rural seniors identified a variety of supports and challenges to maintaining their cognitive health in each of these domains within a rural context, such as using technology to augment their social support and communication with family and friends. There is an increasing need for knowledge on preventative interventions to support and sustain cognitive health among older adults without dementia. The findings of this study suggest it is important to move beyond biomedical interventions to interventions informed by lived experience and a social determinants approach. Lay perspectives and contextual sensitivity are essential to understanding rural older adults' perceptions of cognitive health. For example, rural older adults may have local insight or experiential knowledge in relation to identifying key supports and challenges affecting their cognitive health. A key implication of this study is that it is pertinent for decision makers to engage in local partnerships and recognize the importance of rural older adults' perceptions, knowledge, and experiences. As policy makers, community leaders, and researchers work to address the cognitive health needs of the rural aging demographic, it is essential to listen to the perspectives of rural older adults.

Despite being on a Monday night, Jacco Gardner brought the venue to a near capacity. All of us watched in reverence as Jacco and his band (featuring Frank Maston on keys) played breathtaking melodies (from the album Cabinet of Curiosities) that were thoroughly foreign to this era. The strange visuals momentarily caught my attention. That quickly changed, as every man onstage had a charming intensity which kept you from looking anywhere else. The only exception seemed to be a lady who appeared to be on acid, dancing very strangely in the front. You had my attention for a few minutes, ma'am.
Every sound, tune, voice, melody, chord, strum and beat was perfect, locking you in that moment and evolving into something more than a performance. Finally, they ended their all too short of a set with a nine minute version of Lullaby, leaving us all in a state of confusion, fear, and bliss.
What happened after will forever keep me in touch with my humanity, Amsterdam, and onion rings.

Cakewalk SONAR x3
One of the earliest entrants on the MIDI sequencing scene back in 1987, Cakewalk brought out the first version of SONAR in 2007, and it's continued getting better with each new 'X' release. Standout inclusions in the SONAR X3 package include versions of Overlouds TH2 amp simulator for guitarists and their great reverb plugin Breverb. The excellent pitch-shifting software Melodyne is also integrated into Studio and Producer editions, and the amazing Console Emulator (emulating three classic mix consoles) in the Producer editions ProChannel plugin.
Review of Cakewalk SONAR x3.
Certainly one of the leaders in the music industry is company Cakewalk. It has been several years since developing DAW program for processing MIDI and audio data on behalf of the underwater name SONAR. Although this is only a program for the Windows operating system, its popularity is increasing due to the fact that the company Cakewalk is owned by the Japanese company Roland. In the corridors is rumored that the company will be bought by the legendary manufacturer of guitars, Gibson. Although it may seem a bit absurd, you say the names of companies like Tascam, Stanton, KRK Systems or Onkyo, all of them also belongs to Gibson. Noticeably, they are lacking in some software that would complement the offer on the market. Anyhow, Cakewalk has now released the third version of their flagship SONAR – X3.
64-bit versions
The previous version of SONAR has been designed to work on Windows 64-bit systems, but worked only in 32 bits. One of the breakthroughs is therefore to build a new version of the 64-bit kernel, which allows you to use the full benefits of 64-bit systems. The user can use more computing power of processor, large RAM memory and mainly to record and process audiofiles with a sampling frequency up to 192 kHz with very low latency. The 64-bit version is also available in the basic version of SONAR X3.
Color tracks
Among the more cosmetic changes include a property that does not have too much impact on the program's functionality, but does work in the program easier and more comfortable. It is the possibility of coloring the individual tracks. Twelve standard colors are is available using the context menu and it is possible to choose any color from the system palette menu.
With colouring tracks program is gaining in popularity and mainly keeps better overview of the project, which consists of several tens or hundreds of tracks. If the user wants, program itself can activate the automatic color scheme that will assign to each tracks one color.

Cakewalk SONAR X3 also comes with extended functionality button to activate recording. In addition tothe standard modes such as Overwrite, Sound on Sound or Step Record, new comping mode was added. Depending on the selected mode, the method of recording also replace the icon button.
Comping mode allows to record to one track an infinite number of versions of the clip and then choose the best parts of the recorded material. Just open track and select Mark using good section of the record in each version. Function Comping then will take care of it. For a more complete treatment it is possible to use crossfade between versions. Comping Function is ideal for recording vocals or solo instruments, where the most applicable search the best version .
Melodyne Essential
When you buy the SONAR X3 users get the basic version of Melodyne Essential software from German company Celemony. If the user wanted it to work so far, had to use external VST or ReWire interface. Now comes the integration of the program into SONAR via ARA.
With integrated tools the tuning and timing of audio can be automatically or manually adjust. Therefore, the program is not only suitable for the processing of melodic solo tracks, but also for additional adjustments inaccurate rhythmic tracks. Quality algorithms ensure a wide range of changes without substantially effecting the color of sound.

Support for VST3
All versions of SONAR X3 now have built-in support effects – based interface VST3. This makes it possible to use all the functions that the system VST currently offers, which also improves the utilization of the computing power of the processor.
Effects are now clearly categorized according to the interface VST2, VST3 or DirectX . If the program is running in 64-bit , 32-bit effects are clearly marked. Unlike some competing programs does SONAR X3 problem combined 64-bit and 32-bit effects in a single project. Interestingly, the program is not yet supplied by any effect that works within VST3 interface.
Very handy function is also scanning effects and tools at program startup. Scanning user will see the total number of effects and tools, including information on how many of them were categorized and how many not.
New VST effects and instruments
With each new version there is a new extended offer of virtual effects and instruments. Neither SONAR X3 is no exception, quite the contrary. Sonar X3 is packed with plenty of full versions of effects and tools that the user would otherwise have to pay separately, even in the amount equal to the cost of the program itself.
Tone2 BiFilter2
The base effect is a double filter that works in stereo mode. This effect conceals 47 different types of filters from the old analog to digital FM modulation. There are also 7 different types of distortion. The filtered signal can be mixed with the clean signal. The user has a choice of dozens of presets that can be used as a springboard for working with filters.

Nomad Factory
In the basic version of Sonar we can find 19 effects, from the American company Nomad Factory, which was several years dedicated to high-quality simulations of hardware effects. Effects Bundle Blue Tube FX offers the best selection of vintage analog effects from the golden era, starting several types of equalizers over to dynamic delay and modulation effects. Very nice sound generates BlueVerb DRV -2080, which simulates a reverb effect from the beginning of the eighties of the last century. Sound of BlueVerb surprised with the quality and the ability to model and imperfections old effects that fits perfectly into our perfect digital era.
Addictive Drums
The highlight of the new SONAR X3 is a full version of drum module Addictive Drums from XLN Audio. Addictive drums offer a very high quality drum samples which are among the best in the world. Personally, I can confirm, as this instrument I have been using for several years in my own compositions. The module includes a basic drum kit, which offer separate mixing drums and positioning of microphones. Tool bus also contains its own EQ and effects unit with which the sound can be rapidly changed. The magic of this tool lies not only in high-quality sound bank, but also the possibility to use the preloaded patterns were recorded using sensors live players. Patterns can be dragged and insert into the track, where they can be freely adjusted.
The other two tools comes from Canadian company Applied Acoustics Systems, which since 1998 dedicated to the simulation of the acoustic and electric instruments. The tool does not use any samples and all audio features are mathematically modeled. Excellent is that both instruments are built on 64-bit architecture.

Lounge Lizard Session
This tool simulates a legendary Fender Rhodes electric piano. Since this is a simulation, the user can adjust the proportions of the each part of the sound as it is formed in the instrument. For example, you can set the noise of hammers, resonance properties of rods or position sensors. Sound can be adjusted by tremolo effect, compressor, EQ and modulation effects chorus and phaser. It has also integrated reverb effect.
The fact that it is a simulation of a single instrument, due to the large number of settings we can create many different colors for different musical styles. The sound is very similar to the original instrument, but it lacks a little of that " dirty " real instrument got. In extreme settings tool we can even change the competitive electric Wurlitzer piano .
Strum Acoustic Session
The basic version of the Strum Acoustic Session is a virtual simulation of the acoustic guitar. You can choose between two types of nylon or steel strings. For each type, user can determine whether we are playing on the instrument with a finger or a pick. We can also adjust the tone with a finger positions or choose a size of guitar body. The sound color can be changed with integrated equalizer and reverb effect. Playing on the instrument itself is implemented using either a keyboard or via MIDI patterns that can be imported to the track in the project. However, the overall sound is not quite as faithful as if they were samples.
Some improvements have also occurred in the case of very precious console ProChannel, which is available on all channels and internal mixer contains high-quality effects, the offer continues to expand. The user has the option to purchase a variety of effects from third-party manufacturers. Even more gratifying is that the company brings in ProChannel a big improvement and a new effect.
QuadCurve EQ Zoom
Quad-band parametric equalizer with the large graphical display with the new Zoom and integrated spectrum analyzer. With the Zoom, the equalizer works much easier and will definitely be used more than ever before.
Tape Emulator
New effect Tape Emulator offersa simulation of the Cassette tape saturation. This effect allows to simulate the behavior of the digital environment Cassette tape, including the loss of higher frequencies or overexcited. Tape Emulator is very well suited for processing drums or mastering, where acoustically combine individual tracks more into himself, so that the recording sounds more compact.
Publish your work on YouTube and Gobbler
In addition to the existing exporting Cakewalk SONAR X3 SMS sound on Sound Cloud server, it is now possible to export your work to video server YouTube. Just when you export a select menu type audio publishing on YouTube, and create a working program mixdown and then a dialog box for logging on to YouTube. You just fill in your credentials and upload a picture placeholder, which will replace the video file.
Another way to integrate SONAR X3 in the Internet environment, is access to the music cloud Gobbler. It offers 5 GB of free space and others available for purchase. The main advantage of the server Gobbler is the fact that it is intended to transfer information between musicians and musical programs. It is primarily intended to the transmission of individual tracks between projects, backup, create banks or bank transfer files between different programs. SONAR X3 got the integration of cloud Gobbler 's in built- in toolbar. The only thing the user needs to do is sign up on the internet, then they will have the opportunity to direct a backup or transfer the project and its files by pressing a single button. You can also set up automatic backups, through which the user will have confidence that he won't loose the unfinished work.
Cakewalk SONAR X3 is a great alternative and an excellent program for the complete processing of audio and MIDI files. Already in the basic version offers a variety of tools and effects that definitely support the user's inspiration in all musical styles. Despite half the price compared to the competition, this is one of the best equipped programs on the market. The user has a choice of three different versions, which differ not only in price but also equipment. I definitely recommend a minimum versionof Studio, ideally Producer.

The back roof overhang sustained some damage but has not affected the functionality of the shelter. The trees were laying across the roof. They cut the tops off trees then were able to pull the 16 inch maple with a 20 foot stump on a root ball upright with a rope and come along. Then they felled the 20 foot stump with a crosscut saw. They were also able to clear blowdowns on the high water trail in the Laurel Fork Gorge as well.

How about the Secret Service just shoots all them invaders as a threat while President Trump visits?
Well look what showed up.
Fresh from internet limbo.
Oh, the things I could say…. Nah, too much energy required.
Doesn't know about building codes
Thinks we can just huddle and keep warm and eat frozen stuff
etc., etc., etc.,
Keep a watchful eye on her, She really is a puppet. And a change is coming, but it will not be what she expects it to be….
You're kidding right? You really think she's EVER going to change out of those crusty panties?
Deja vu all over again? ( 😉 ) Seems like I saw this strip, or at least to top two panels, for just a minute or so yesterday
Dang it John M. you stole my Yogi!
Stupid has no limits. Dems lead the downward spiral to the precipice, like lemmings….
According to Einstein there are two things that are limitless…..the universe, as far as I know, and the stupidity of mankind…..as exhibited by AOC….
There it is…it's like deja vu all over again! That'd two Yogi quotes in two days!
But with an addendum that wasn't there before; is it an afterthought or was the 'toon not finished at this time yesterday when it was inadvertently posted?
Either way I'm afraid that last balloon, indicating an actual conscience on the part of the leftist machine, is but wishful thinking. Not only did they create the monster, but they see its evil as a means to justify their ends…even, or especially, if it is a ruse.
Useful Idiot!!!
But at least these socialists will make those trains run on time, although their "fellow Democrats" might not like their eventual destinations.
Her one saving grace (for her) is she's not worth the powder and shot it's take to put her in Hell…. Unless the dumbness is an act….
It could well be. Can anyone really be that stupid without working at it??
No. Not at all. She is and always will be, the Jar-Jar Boinks of the DNC.
Now there's a handle for the POTUS.
Jar Jar Cortez!
Hell with "waste". I'd be willing to expend a round, out of my own pocket change, to save the Republic.
Consider it a "low hanging fruit" warning.
AOC–Charles Manson eyes & Francis The Talking Mule dentition.
There's a song there, I think. "She's got Charlie Manson Eyes"
I know this won't be a popular opinion but I think CrazyEyes is crazy like a fox.
I've no doubt she's got where she is with significant help of handlers but she's too good at playing the game, too glib & slick to be an idiot.
The freaky part is how easily she's normalizing radical leftist talking points. As long as the legacy mainstream media continues to fawn over her, she's getting those messages through to those who still watch tv.
Be afraid.
It's bigger than her teeth and crazy eyes. She won the casting call.
Here is where a Democrat radical group is primarying everyone. This is where AOC came from. These are those who cast her in the part and she won. They won the Congressional seat
They are radicals.
They have a plan to take over Congress. Then the Presidency. Then the USA. Some believe in world conquest by them.
They won many primaries.
They won 6 or 7 races in the House. AOC was one.
They are enemies of the USA.
These are the Brains behind AOC.
The speaker wrote a book about a similar situation years ago, and now he sees it go live. Then he explains what he researched and found out.
You are correct. Be very afraid. Then deal with it. Defeat them. Defeating them starts with truth.
But the radicals only won seats that were safely Democratic, like hers and Omars. The radicals did not take any seats from the GOP. The seats that switched parties went to much more moderate Dems, not these sophomoric puppets. And they are puppets.
AOC seems to think that she and her cronies are the only ones who can have a "list." The older, cannier Dems may be keeping one as well. All these campaign finance issues may have a different source than AOC thinks. There are members in the upper echelons of the DNC who remember George McGovern.
That was the lesson they learned from the one aptly called the Zero…that the beaming charismatic well spoken empty vessel was/is their ticket to ride. And was a nearly universally accepted perfect Manchurian candidate. And unlike what FC believes the method is not limited to territory already held by them and damn near worked for a total and complete takeover in Florida.
They see the efficacy of the plan for so many of their purposes both obvious and hidden to serve their ultimate agenda and have found a ready audience groomed by their prior efforts, their media, and their academia.
Yet we still do not know who/what "they" are as they hide so effectively behind these consummate actors who deliver their lines so well that half the electorate believes the story just as they do all of the product of hollyweird, which itself is still just a tool but not the godhead.
Until we identify it and kill it it will continue to tempt and lure the support and critical mass it needs to survive and grow until it can kill us instead…and the only reason that hasn't happened already is the rise of the Deplorables and the efforts so far of PDJT.
Well put.
Draining the swamp is one part of the needed activities.
We see things when the swamp waters recede.
Who ever thought there would be a Casting Couch Congress.
Thank you. I've thinking the same thing for a while now. People as stupid as she appears to be do not, as a rule, successfully matriculate from BU (BC?) any more than people as stupid and incompetent as the press consider the President to be become BILLIONAIRES.
Yes, she is not terribly articulate (WAY too many verbal pauses) and actually constructing an intelligible sentence would appear to be beyond her capabilities but that could merely be the result of growing up in our wonderful, world-class education system. I suspect a good bit of her dingbattedness is as genuine as Regan's alleged penchant for napping.
I agree! A first timer already figured out how to scam $1 million out of her campaign funds? That usually takes a few terms to reach that level of thievery.
I credit her chief of staff.
Sum mor deja vu all ovah agin fer ya JTC.
So ya thought Airplane was a parady of those other serious movies. No way.
We lost an hour, so here is Zero hour, to show how an Airplane can do it all over again. I have a better opinion of these now.
Surely you're not serious that it's plagiarism? 🙂
I would prefer the Hitchcock flight into the past flick, make it about 1945 please.
Or maybe into the future would be better; either America wins and all is well or we lose and it's all over, skip the suspense and the suffering.
They bought the rights to Zero Hour beforehand for $2,500.
Good investment. I'm serious. Serial.
And don't call me Shirley!
I really liked that Hitchcock one.
We must win. And win. And win again all over again as long as we have to. We make the future.
Ms. Occasional-Coherent is not the seeing-eye dog of the DNC as much as she thinks. I believe she's close to the end of the restraining rope (as in Foghorn Leghorn). San Fran Nan has drawn the limit line in the sand and she's just about there. Listen for the loud yelping screech soon to be apparent…….
AOC – the "face" of the new McCarthyism .
The evil soul of Joe , and the brains of Charlie .
I guess she will be going after Communists behind every door and shadow. After all, Socialists and Communists hate the other side.
BTW, Chris, I'm getting this from the sidebar, between the "DBD Topics" and the tag cloud:
Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/webs/daybyday/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-category-tag-could/classes/wpctc-widget.php on line 207
A whole bunch of those.
That's the secret message from Q.
I remember Charlie as a dapper, fairly observant fellow (Charlie McCarthy, the woodpecker's pinup boy, to quote W.C. Fields). Crazy Eyes Cortez acts more like Mortimer Snerd.
We are seeing the results of pampering kids through multiple generations. Everything has been provided by parents. Education provided by government. Employment in many cases provided by or assisted by taxpayer dollars. Makes it seem…well, unfair to ask them to pay their own way.
AOC's base isn't very wide. She became the representative for 711,000 Americans and immigrants by winning a primary in a district where the Democratic candidate couldn't lose if he raped babies on live television. Less than 17,000 people (out of maybe 400,000 legal voters) voted for her in that primary. Basically, she won because none of the opposing D candidates could inspire anyone to bother to vote, but she inspired less than 5 percent of the voters in her district. And it's a district with lots of college students and minorities; in most of blue America, she'd have done worse. Short of a one-time takeover of the Democrats by the worst radicals like in 1972, she won't be in the running for higher office – and the Democratic establishment still has the capability of rigging their national conventions that they established to protect against another 1972.
So wait until the 2020 primary to get worried. The question is what the Democratic establishment is going to do about her. If they want her gone, they'll persuade some reliable establishment Dem with a bit of charisma or name recognition to move to her district, and put some money behind that alternative. I'd be really surprised if that doesn't end her political career, although she might have a few decades as a TV commentator/comedian. Or they may decide to leave her in that seat as a lightning rod and a distraction from their less obviously radical leftist policies.
She gets her retirement cash for life which is a way lot (she understands those words) more than her waitress income (She has no clue on that word) would ever have been unless we get Wiemar or Venezuelan inflation, then only the numbers would be more, not the buying power of her fiat dollars. ( I would keep confusing her. Her staff, who wrote the great new easy peasy green deal, would have to explain to her while they were still federal employees and would talk with her.).
That's a long debunked load. No congress critter gets a retirement of any kind after one or two terms in the House. Members elected since 1984 are covered by the Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS). As it is for all federal employees, congressional retirement is funded through taxes and the participants' contributions. Members of Congress under FERS contribute 1.3 percent of their salary into the FERS retirement plan and pay 6.2 percent of their salary in Social Security taxes.
Members of Congress become eligible to receive a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed a total of 5 years of service. Members who have completed a total of 20 years of service are eligible for a pension at age 50, or at any age after completing a total of 25 years of service.
No matter their age when they retire, the amount of the members' pension is based on their total years of service and the average of their highest three years of salary. By law, the starting amount of a Member's retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary.
Under the current law, which requires at least 5 years of service, members of the House of Representatives would not be eligible to collect pensions of any amount after serving only one term, since they come up for reelection every two years.
It's way past time for people to learn the facts and stop spouting the drivel. There are far more important things to be upset about than a totally fake meme.
Oooooo Kayyyyy…… LOL
Let's just settle on it's far more than they deserve, and since I'm the captive contributor for their salary including their "contributions and taxes" for the entire term they get it, I claim the right to be as angry about it as I want to be.
So there, Nya! 😉
Congressional retirements for those elected since 1986 isn't as good as it used to be. Three legs — Social Security, thrift savings plan (401(k) with 5 percent matching), and a small pension (after 30 years, about $12, 000 annually).
Can I be frank? Sure I can here.
She is quite a pretty wrapper, that face is nice to look at (in repose) and for those of her ilk, the crazy eyes are a bonus not a drawback.
She is young and energetic, her crowd likes that as they "relate" on age.
Her ideas make sense to those who have no mooring or sense themselves.
She has a great set of tits and a fun looking body, the demonrat betas think they have a chance with her and thus…work themselves to a frazzle to virtue signal to get her attention in hopes of…
Others are more mercenary and just want to share her limelight enough to catapult themselves into cushy arrangements.
The fact that she is a black widow in politics and likely in real life as well, is completely lost on that whole contingent
I just found out my Special Snowflake hates PDT and is supporting Kamala H. At least that is what she told her mother. Now this carbon unit snowflake has got an off the chart IQ. (perfect GPA in Engineering school and is now in law school) and I thought I taught her well to question everything, observe your AO, check your six, keep your powder dry and always be thinking.
She may just be goofing/shilling on her mother but the comment came spontaneously while they were on a girls weekend. Or it may be indoctrination in law school that is causing this. I'm telling you this because if they got to my daughter then they can get to any of the special snowflakes. Occasional Cortex is just a vector of the disease of Magic Unicorns shitting out an unending stream of wonderful stuff. Red pilling young-uns should be job one.
This ain't the Matrix, it's going to get worse.
Spin, suggest you ask her to show what she's learning in law school. Specifically, ask her to provide hard evidence that ol' Kamala has any position that's based upon facts. Advise her that the word "feel" is not a word acceptable in court, and that she needs to be the prosecutor before she can be a defender, if she actually wants to be a decent lawyer, which Kamala certainly was not. All the very best lawyers do their jobs by looking at their work through the other side's eyes, so they can find the holes in their arguments. If she's supporting Kamala, she's failed to do that.
The indoctrination was/is way deeper/wider than her current training for a JD…witness the stories of "teachers" and academic functionaries down to primary grades removing maga hats, openly shaming, even outright abusing any child who dares question them or introduce their at-home training.
There is only one way to avoid that immersive debriefing/debunking of the input from you and its replacement with their party line…and that is to control those with access while the control is still yours to exert.
If she is now already under their spell and outside your sphere of influence then only the harsh real world (ala Skye) can change that…and even then no guarantees as the whole MO of leftism to to deflect/defer said harshness until she is truly one of them.
Prayers to God to forbid it to be so in her case…and yours.
Here is a tip you may use.
Recently Scott Adams of Dilbert fame has been giving lessons on deprogramming people on what he calls the Charlottesville Fine People Hoax. It is one of the keystone features of Trump Derangement Syndrome which has convinced so many people that Trump is a racist.
You can find his Periscopes on YouTube.
I find it inexplicably inexplicable that no one, not even on the more intellectually brave/honest wing of the GOP, will call out people like AOC on their obvious Marxism. How is it, in these MAGA times, that we are still not allowed to challenge their vaunted "patriotism", even when they nearly parrot the Communist Manifesto verbatim? Left = Marx. No ifs ands or cute(?) AOC butts. Make them own it, instead of this ludicrous charade.
Huh. They now have "proof" that if you don't sign up for AOC's Green New Deal then you're part of the racist white supremacist conspiracy against minorities.
Study finds a race gap in air pollution — whites largely cause it; blacks and Hispanics breathe it
They looked at the PM2.5 particles, 2.5 microns or smaller. Barry's EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson testified to Congress in Sep 2011 that they do cause premature death. That same month there was a report published where EPA from Jan 2010 to Jun 2011 experimented by exposing 42 people up to 10 times the EPA's safe limit to see the effects (there were none except for one woman with known heart problems who had an atrial fibrillation episode). The EPA was certain PM2.5 kills and tested them on humans to see what happens.
These are the same PM2.5 particles that weighed so heavily in Barry's calculations of "the social cost of carbon" used to justify killing coal.
We do live in interesting times.
Listen to the insanity coming out of the usual suspects mouths.
Including in our congress!
Truly we are now strangers living in a strange land.
Or, We have meet the enemy and they are us.
Apologies to Walt Kelly
You know there are a whole boat load of people alive because of just the tip 😉
