#RVA@RTDNEWS@NBC12 Judge Reilly Marchant must be re-elected in a yr by VA GA, now controlled by far left lib Dems, so his decisions are guided by his own survival instincts. Kingsport, TN native Ed Ayers made a career of trashing Virginia & it cost him presidency of UR. @CBS6
Ayers & I are peers. He started teaching history at UVA same year I started teaching chemistry at UR, 1980. He remained in academia. My path led to the real world - in industry, where I spent 20 years, &had an epiphany. Business IS the creation of wealth! @rvabizsense#RVA
I don't object to monument removal, IF done legally by due process & IN ACCORDANCE WITH The Law, not in response to emotional accusatory canards demonizing those with opposing views. That kind of cynical divisiveness is on the ballot at all levels next week. #RVA@VASupremeCt
The Law is shields us from mob rule & the break down of civil society. Civilizations cannot endure without it. Political emotional arguments must not hold sway over firm thoughtful adherence to the rule of law. @VASupremeCt@VABarAssn@RTDNEWS
#StoneyLied about @kimgray4rva position on Monuments since he appointed her co-chair of MonAvCommission. He approved recommendations of Commission -removeDavis , add context, & ADD statues of AfricanAmericans- The Fourteen AA union soldiers who received Medals of Honor. #RVA
I watch the #rvacouncil meetings. Kim opposed the restaurant tax which harmed these small businesses #RVA restaurants
If confused by the Amendment debate, read this statement of its content. Those opposing it late seek confusion to delay. Read for yourselves. The Voting Rights Act IS IN IT by NAME. VOTE YES. #RVA@NAACP@PostOpinions@FreePressRVA Levine omits this fact. ballotpedia.org/Virginia_Quest…
#RVA@RTDOpinions 2/It says "Every electoral district shall be drawn in accordance with the requirements of federal and state laws that address racial and ethnic fairness, including the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States &
3/"provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as amended, & judicial decisions interpreting such laws. Districts shall provide, where practicable, opportunities for racial & ethnic communities to elect candidates of their choice." This is the actual amendment language #RVA
@RTDNEWS Stoney's record #RVA
1.Stoney’s first major action after becoming mayor was to fire the City Auditor who told him that RPS & City accounts needed a forensic audit. Response: Stoney fired him. Very Trumpian.Very telling about his business dealings. @FreePressRVA@CBS6
2. Stoney violated procurement procedures to build new schools, awarded the bids to crony-donors, a pattern. Discovered by Virginia Association of Contractors filing a FOIA to get documents contract bids. Costs to build them were 30-50% higher than they should be. #RVA@RTDNEWS
3.Stoney's anti-business administration drove hundreds of large businesses & laboratories out of RVA around the BioTech Park, MCV and Jackson Ward - all in a HUBZONE we had endeavored to get to regenerate Jackson Ward. These were middle class jobs. #RVA@RTDNEWS@CBS6
LIES! @DonaldJTrumpJr During @BarackObama@JoeBiden administration HuJinTao was Premier of China during a period of opening markets,increasing freedom begun by reformer Deng Xiaopeng. Normalization of relations initiated by Jimmy Carter was a breakthrough, ending US-China coldwar
2/ China emerged from Mao’s draconian communist state when Carter established diplomatic relations & Deng the reformer opened China. Emperor Xi however, who granted 35 trademarks to @IvankaTrump has reversed all of Deng’s reforms & reestablished himself as a totalitarian like Mao
3/This wealthy militaristic China, is not the China to which America, since post Qing dynasty had been an older brother. Xi’s Orwellian China is a bullying hegemon terrorizing neighbors,illegally claiming global shipping lanes,beating Indian soldiers to death at Indo-Sino border
Do not listen to the least informed person in Virginia's public life. Stoney has the worst judgement of any official in #RVA He wants to get votes & cares NOTHING for Virginia's & #RVA children. I am a scientist & had NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse)post doc studying pot
2/ I've continued research the last 10 years. I've attached a nontechnical summary. It causes brain damage, memory loss, impairs judgement, increases accidents, makes it harder to get jobs, and, and long term avg drop of 10 IQ points. Many people think its harmless. It's NOT.
3/ Marijuana is NOT a harmless drug. What the GA did in decriminalization is EXACTLY CORRECT. @VaHouseDems@VASenateDems Pot is especially harmful to children & teens. When DC legalized pot, children went to school high from breathing parents second hand smoke. #RVA#rvacouncil
@NicolleDWallace Not sure who you're talking to on health disparities, but I did a search on PubMed on COVID19 and also Health Disparities. For COVID19, it's because of Vitamin D deficiency, which is also true for several other diseases among AfrAms. D's regulates immune system.1
Most of the health disparities for AfrAm are genetic & life style choices, not sociology, but science & choices. Access to health insurance & transport to get HC are factors, but not COVID19. Vit D isn't a vitamin but hormone regulating immune function. Low D in AfrAm's genetic.
I sent the literature search I did on Health Disparities in AfrAms to @JoeBiden Pretty sure @RonaldKlain read it. The good news - much can be fixed with an affordable & easy to implement intervention, but clinical trial is needed to verify, validate & quantify everything.
