I hope that ER doctor doesn’t get fired. I assume the video was released with her permission.
You live in Elizabethton?
Now why did I think you lived in Kingsport?
Biden is promising billions for climate change. The world’s top financier. Making big commitments on Covid-19.
Bragging about “being back”, NATO, Paris climate accord, etc.
Roku dropping YouTube? That seems huge. Maybe Roku is conservative and doesn’t want any more of YouTube censorship. A girl can hope.
I think we dipped into fall this morning. It is chilly, pouring, and a lot of the leaves are yellow. I’m sitting out here thinking I probably ought to go put on pants and get a sweater ( I have shorts on, don’t worry! Although my neighbor down the street who is on the same Hill and I say how nice it is that we could walk around outside in our pajamas and nobody can see us)
Here.
it was 102° here yesterday.
He’s promising $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to everyone in the world.
The nurse came to him as a whistleblower.
Oh, ok. I guess I see now, she was videotaping with her phone? Seems like the doctor is still going to get in trouble.
I don’t know but it’s not very far away. We have three medium-sized cities here, Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport. It’s close enough to get to all of them for shopping or doctors.
*HUG*
I was only funning in my post last night too
but I guess it did not come across like it.
We had an active case of Covid brought into
our facility, so we are back in “lockdown”
there.
No visitors for the residents, and back to
wearing the masks the NG made for us, which
are VERY tight and suffocating.
We have been wearing masks at work everyday
for 18 months, and I am fed up!
I was SO grouchy and in pain last night..
(and this morning)
I am sorry if I upset YOU!
LOL
All is well with us, Gran!
*evil grin*
Sorry, when I re-read your post, I realized you were asking for the criteria to declare one. I latched on to the ‘for how long’ part! *doh*
Our department has people who coordinate with TEMA because we handle the state funds. Most times these emergencies are more local in nature (tornadoes, flooding). I know they have plans drawn up to handle such things. I don’t know that there were plans prior to 2020 to handle a state-wide emergency in general or a pandemic specifically. I know there wasn’t for my division’s disaster recovery plan.
(a)(1) The governor is responsible for addressing the dangers presented to this state and its people by emergencies. In the event of an emergency beyond local control, the governor, or, in the governor’s absence, the governor’s successor as provided by law, may assume direct operational control over all or any part of the emergency management functions within this state, and such person has the power through proper process of law to carry out this chapter. The governor is authorized to delegate such powers as the governor may deem prudent.
(2) Pursuant to the authority vested in the governor under subdivision (a) (1), the governor may issue executive orders, proclamations, and rules and may amend or rescind them. Such executive orders, proclamations, and rules have the force and effect of law.
Note that last sentence: “Such executive orders, proclamations, and rules have the force and effect of law.”
From what I can gather, the decision to make the declaration is actually handled by TEMA (our state’s equavalent of FEMA). So if TEMA doesn’t give the governor the declaration to sign, no emergency is declared. Of course, the governor appoints the head of TEMA so....
(a) Because of the existing and continuing possibility of the occurrence of emergencies and disasters resulting from natural, technological, or manmade causes, including acts of terrorism and the recovery therefrom; in order to ensure that preparations of this state will be adequate to deal with, reduce vulnerability to, and recover from such emergencies and disasters; to provide for the common defense and to protect the public peace, health, and safety; and to preserve the lives and property of the people of the state, it is hereby found and declared to be necessary to:
(1) Create a state emergency management agency to be known as the “Tennessee emergency management agency” (TEMA), to authorize the creation of local organizations for emergency management in the political subdivisions of the state, and to authorize cooperation with the federal government and the governments of other states;
(2) Confer upon the governor, TEMA, and the governing body of each political subdivision of the state the emergency powers provided herein;
(3) Provide for the rendering of mutual aid among the political subdivisions of the state, with other states, and with the federal government with respect to carrying out all emergency management functions and responsibilities;
(4) Authorize the establishment of such organizations and the development and employment of such measures as are necessary and appropriate to carry out this chapter; and
(5) Provide the means to assist in the prevention or mitigation of emergencies which may be caused or aggravated by inadequate planning for, and regulation of, public and private facilities and land use, not to exclude flood plain management.
(b) It is further declared to be the purpose of this chapter and the policy of the state that all emergency management functions of the state be coordinated to the maximum extent with comparable functions of the federal government, including its various departments, agencies of other states and localities, and private agencies of every type, to the end that the most effective preparation and use may be made of the manpower, resources, and facilities of the nation for dealing with any emergency that may occur.
So basically yes, the legislative branch, here in TN anyway, has delegated handling a ‘state of emergency’ over to the governor and TEMA. Only way to change it is for the state legislature to change the law. I’m thinking Michigan has done so in the case of Whitmer?
I couldn’t take anything because I have a phone appt.
with Social Security this a.m.
Gonna get that ball rolling and when it kicks in, I’m gonna retire!
They’ll be calling any minute, so forgive me if I do not respond for awhile!
*HUG*

Somebody mentioned that the stomach acids would destroy the enzymes.
I know that meds can be absorbed by placing them under the tongue, which immediately goes to the blood stream. So if this lettuce thing is true perhaps it is possible.
I remember something about Roku and YouTube having a disagreement over fees awhile back.
Roku dropped YouTube to new peeps but us who already had the app were told we can keep using it.
But I guess that has ended, saw on a site that others were asking Roku how come they couldn’t load the YouTube app, no answer back from Roku.
I walk around outside in my PJ’s and robe and don’t care who sees me.😁
I water outside plants really early and don’t always get dressed to do it.
So far the cops haven’t knocked on my door and charged me with indecent exposure.
Yikes!! Way to hot, Rusty.
I think it was a very mild 78 here yesterday, went from 90° on day to 78° the next.
Great research & info. Thank you.
There really should be some controls on this. If not for the initial emergency, at least the renewals should need to be approved by the legislature. There should also be some language as to “immediate” danger like a fire or hurricane, rather than some ongoing emergency, like health concern, or climate change or gun violence, or whatever else the libtards can dream up. In this case, there should also be some criteria or numbers such as cases or deaths to be met for continuously extending the emergency. Otherwise you have a King or Queen
I’m so glad you have something to look forward to, retirement!
Newsmax reported that over on CNN Biden people admitted allowing hundreds of thousands of people in to solve the labor shortage.
