DISTURBING SIGHTS WASHES UP ON WEST COAST BEACHES…..And they’re saying ….it gets worse every day…..since early June and algae called….. “Pseudo-Nitzschia” has been killing….sea lions….seals and dolphins….and they’re washing ashore along the southern California coast….often, non-toxic, under certain conditions…..the algae can produce “Domoic Acid (DA)”….an amino acid that impacts the nervous system of animals who consume it……algae blooms like this have sicken animals before….but this one is severe…..and appears to be coming from farther offshore…..Sam Dover a co-founder of Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute…..and Ruth Dover…..also a co-founder say;…. “The flood gates have opened, and it just keeps getting worse every day…..we’ve getting 30 to 60 reports an hour….and more than 300 reports a day….and it’s only the beginning.”

MAN GIVEN MONTHS TO LIVE SURVIVED 45 YEARS ON ISLAND WHERE PEOPLE “FORGET TO DIE”…..Stamatis Moraitis was told in 1976….he had between six and nine months to live…..after being diagnosed with lung cancer….he lived another 45 years on his home island in Greece…..he’s 98-years-old now…..he moved back home because a funeral in the US would’ve been too expensive…..as months went by….on his native island Ikaria…..he started to feel stronger…..after years of drinking wine and waiting to die….he felt stronger….and was nearing 100-years-old….when he did an interview for the BBC….he said;…. I’m no doctor but I think the wine helped….I’ve done nothing else except  eat pure food, drink pure wine, use pure herbs…..I’m not drinking so much to be an alcoholic…..only two, three glasses every day….clean air, the atmosphere, the food, all of them together and breathing pure oxygen”…..researchers have found out that there are several areas around the world where people happen to live longer and better….these areas are known as “Blue Zones”…..regions in California, Costa Rica, Italy, Japan and Greece…..Stamatis home of Ikaria…..is located in the Aegean Sea…..it has the oldest population with the lowest senile dementia levels…..there’s one thing I’ve noticed every time I fly back home…..I realize I can’t eat the food because it makes me sick….so I’m forced to look for healthier foods I’m used to…..and change my diet…..once my body is used to that….I feel much better…..so, I understand and can related to what Stamatis is saying….even the wine…..and then I found this bullshit…..

FLORIDA’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS…… will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers’ union as a “step backward.”……the Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education……other language that has drawn the ire of some educators and education advocates includes teaching about how Black people were also perpetrators of violence during race massacres……that language says, “Instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans but is not limited to 1906 Atlanta Race Riot, 1919 Washington, D.C. Race Riot, 1920 Ocoee Massacre, 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the 1923 Rosewood Massacre.”……the Florida Education Association, a statewide teachers’ union representing about 150,000 teachers, called the new standards “a disservice to Florida’s students and are a big step backward for a state that has required teaching African American history since 1994.”……“How can our students ever be equipped for the future if they don’t have a full, honest picture of where we’ve come from? Florida’s students deserve a world-class education that equips them to be successful adults who can help heal our nation’s divisions rather than deepen them,” Andrew Spar, president of the union, said in the statement…….“Gov. DeSantis is pursuing a political agenda guaranteed to set good people against one another, and in the process, he’s cheating our kids,” Spar said. “They deserve the full truth of American history, the good and the bad.”…..the union said it is troubling that at the high school level, the standards conflate the 1920 Ocoee Massacre, when at least 30 African Americans were killed for attempting to vote, with “acts of violence perpetrated by African Americans.” And in middle school, the standards require students be taught slavery was beneficial to African Americans because it helped them develop skills, the union said……updates to the African American history curriculum were required by a controversial 2022 law that Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act,” or “Stop WOKE Act,” NBC South Florida reported……a spokesperson from the Florida Department of Education on Thursday provided a response to NBC News’ questions through a statement from Dr. William Allen and Dr. Frances Presley Rice, who are members of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup…..and now people are upset because an image of a Nazi symbol appeared in a DeSantis video…..why in the hell are people upset?…..the guy isn’t even bothering to hide his feelings…..next election….vote him out of office!…..and I also found this…..

IN JAPAN…..A train station had plans to close…..but noticed a student was the only one using it…..so they decided to close the station…..when she graduates from high school….it’s a shame…..Florida would not have cared about that student.
