The astonishing statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration attempting to provide some justification for Trump's obsession with proving himself right about a hurricane threatening Alabama, days after forecast tracks had fully removed the state from Hurricane Dorian's potential path, and Trump hand-altered a printed map with a black marker and proudly presenting it to the public as official weather information. The WaPo suggests that the two governmental f*ckwits who appear to be most responsible for warning National Weather Service forecasters to remain silent about Trump making up the f*king weather are acting NOAA administrator Neil Jacobs and, notably, ex-Trump campaign functionary Julie Kay Roberts, now ensconced as the agency's director of public affairs. It goes without saying that both should resign.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we cant avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
