Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week.

January 19-26 2024

The Energy Department announced its pausing all new liquefied natural gas export facilities. This puts a pause on export terminal in Louisiana which would have been the nation's largest to date. The Department will use the pause to study the climate impact of LNG exports. Environmentalists cheer this as a major win they have long pushed for.

The Transportation Department announced 5 billion dollars for new infrastructure projects. The big ticket item is 1 billion dollars to replace the 60 year old Blatnik Bridge between Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota which has been dangerous failing since 2017. Other projects include $600 million to replace the 1-5 bridge between Vancouver, Washington, and Portland, Oregon, $427 million for the first offshore wind terminal on the West Coast, $372 million to replace the 90 year old Sagamore Bridge that connects Cape Cod to the mainland,$300 million for the Port of New Orleans, and $142 million to fix the I-376 corridor in Pittsburgh.

the White House Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access announced new guidance that requires insurance companies must cover contraceptive medications under the Affordable Care Act. The Biden Administration also took actions to make sure contraceptive medications would be covered under Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. HHS has launched a program to educate all patients about their rights to emergency abortion medical care under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. This week marks 1 year since President Biden signed a Presidential Memorandum seeking to protect medication abortion and all federal agencies have reported on progress implementing it.

A deal between Democrats and Republicans to restore the expand the Child Tax Credit cleared its first step in Congress by being voted out of the House Ways and Means Committee. The Child Tax Credit would affect 16 million kids in the first year and lift 400,000 out of poverty. The Deal also includes an expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit which will lead to 200,000 new low income rental units being built, and also tax relief to people affected by natural disasters

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted for a bill to allow President Biden to seize $5 billion in Russian central bank assets. Biden froze the assets at the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine, but under this new bill could distribute these funds to Ukraine, Republican Rand Paul was the only vote against.

The Senate passed the "Train More Nurses Act" seeking to address the critical national shortage of nurses. It aims to increase pathways for LPNs to become RNs as well as a review of all nursing programs nationally to see where improvements can be made

3 more Biden Judges were confirmed, bring the total number of Judges appointed by President Biden to 171. For the first time in history the majority of federal judge nominees have not been white men. Biden has also appointed Public Defenders and civil rights attorneys breaking the model of corporate lawyers usually appointed to life time federal judgeships

And, back to the hot weather. Ugh. I’ve never done well in the heat, even as a skinny kid. Perhaps once my son is established as a wealthy lawyer, he can buy me a summer home in Duluth or something.

[elvis1970s]

On April 29th, 1977, while Elvis was Duluth, Minnesota, for one night at the 7 700 seat Duluth Arena, he was probably a little surprised to find out that he was, according to one newspaper, up for sale.

The Nashville Banner, citing 'authoritative sources' in Nashville, Memphis and Los Angeles, claimed that Colonel Parker had decided to sell Elvis' contract for 'health and financial' reasons. The story claimed that Parker needed a fast million dollars to replace money lost gambling at the Las Vegas Hilton in December 1976, when Elvis was playing what would prove to be his final Hilton residency.

Definitive Elvis biographer, Peter Guralnick, points out that the paper's alleged sources were anonymous, and the article contained factual inaccuracies, including the incorrect assertion that Elvis' Las Vegas Hilton contract had expired, leading to the reporter's conclusion that Parker would no longer be able to trade Elvis' services to pay off his debts, hence the sale. In reality, Elvis was booked to play his most significant engagement in Vegas since 1969 - the grand opening of the new 5 000 seat Hilton Pavilion showroom, scheduled for October, 1977.

Colonel Parker was in St Paul, MN, overseeing preparations for the following night's show. He spoke to rival Nashville paper, The Nashville Tennessean, describing the Banner's story as a 'complete fabrication'. "I’m here, I’m working with Elvis, I’m in good health, and I don’t have any debts—at least none that I can’t pay."

Joe Esposito also weighed in, describing the relationship between Elvis and Colonel Parker as 'cordial' and stating that neither had any plans to break their long-standing agreement that had begun with a handshake.

The 'consortium of West Coast businessmen' who were the alleged buyers never materialised, if they ever existed at all.

Having said this, Peter Guralnick concluded;

"… but it was apparent to anyone who knew anything about the recent history of their tangled relationship that the story was, in essence, true. Too many people had heard Colonel complaining that Elvis was more trouble than he was worth, that he was intractable and could no longer be effectively managed. And too many people were aware, as Elvis' Los Angeles lawyer Ed Hookstratten was inclined to put it, that Colonel was "servicing a problem of his own." Elvis had no doubt about the story in any case: he knew in his bones it was true. And while the consortium of 'West Coast businessmen' who were supposed to be buying his contract never surfaced, driven off presumably by the glare of publicity, Elvis had never felt more betrayed or more alone…"

(Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley - 1999 by Peter Guralnick.)

"...the activities of both the OBU [One Big Union] and the IWW [Industrial Workers of the World] in the Lakehead region did lead to increased surveillance by federal, provincial, and municipal authorities. The existence of the Monthly and other publications in the declassified files of American and Canadian archives indicates that authorities in both countries watched both organizations carefully. The RCMP and OPP [Ontario provincial police] were keenly aware that the IWW was indifferent to borders. Minnesota was an IWW stronghold in the United States. The Lakehead Finns, especially, were suspected of being influenced by cross-border radicalism. Suspected agitators were often arrested on both sides of the border. Worried about a possible repeat of Winnipeg in Northwestern Ontario, authorities identified the Lakehead as the centre of any potential problems and began to clamp down on the activities of all groups. Anything and anyone even remotely suspected of being revolutionary fell under surveillance. Suspected agitators were often arrested. The OPP in Northwestern Ontario worked closely with its American and RCMP counterparts in investigations involving the OBU and IWW. The proposed strike of January 1920, for example, saw RCMP, regional OPP, and District Intelligence Officers from St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth all working together. Officials shared intelligence and coordinated their activities in an attempt to disrupt these organizations and arrest workers. The OPP concluded that the OBU and IWW were the same (even if they were in fact two separate bodies). They noted that most of the OBU organizers in the region had come from British Columbia and Minnesota. According to a plan adopted on both sides of the Minnesota-Ontario border, if a strike did occur, lumber companies would shut down and “try, and starve the strikers out.” Canadian and American authorities also worked together to stem the flow of socialist material between the two countries and to deport to Europe suspected Wobblies.

Following a tip from American authorities, the RCMP, for example, arrested William Salo of Fort William for possessing “socialist” literature. His Winnipeg lawyer, E.J. McMurray, described Salo’s actions as merely

stepping outside of the iron band that the government proposed to put around his mind, and desired to find out what was being done in the outside world, which the government endeavours to keep hidden from the eyes of the people of this country.

For McMurray, this was an issue of liberty and freedom from the growing intolerance of the Canadian government, which he compared to pre-revolutionary Russia. The case against Salo, he argued, was

a case of brainless police court jurisdiction, a performance by an immature mind on the magisterial bench that has made the justice of this land in many cases an object of contempt and enmity rather than a respected institution.

McMurray was also involved in the deportation case involving Sava W. Zura, a leading member of the Ukrainian League formed in April 1919. A resident of the Lakehead for over seven years, Zura’s bakeshop had been searched in late September and, after being apprehended by police at the border, he had been arrested and convicted for possessing “Bolsheviki” and IWW literature. Police in Fort William considered him the “main promoter” of “prohibited literature among the foreign element.” Workers in both cities rallied behind Zura, with Harry Bryan being the most notable voice. Despite the absence of prior transgressions and the testimony by many local residents as to his good character, Zura was sentenced to two years in Stony Mountain Penitentiary in Manitoba. Mrs. Zura was later apprehended by Immigration Department agents in Winnipeg, and was also interrogated concerning the evidence."

I missed these! I love them!

Alternatives (from an American perspective):

Wentworth is an actor. He moved to Hollywood and asked Anne to come with him and Lady Russell said hell no and Anne’s all …. you know what. fair. I’ll wait and see

Knightley is a lawyer in a mid sized town — Duluth, let’s say. He’s a judge and spends all his time taking care of the town nincompoops

Edmund Bertram is Edward Ferrars’ mirror: he too has an environmental science degree but he’s quite a successful lobbyist for World Wildlife Fund. Mary is a famous fast-fashion designer. Edmund thinks she just never had anybody explain The Evils to her; Mary keeps telling him he has enough prestige, now it’s time to make some money

Bingley, Brandon, Tilney: no notes

Darcy, though. He’s the son of an ambassador (his mom was the ambassador — Dad’s a computer science geek, he works remotely). Darcy speaks 9 languages, has lived around the world, has entered the foreign service himself, is absurdly smart. Elizabeth goes to community college in New Jersey

What about the Austen heroes?

So the current professions of the Austen heroes are Trust-Fund Baby (Darcy, Bingley, Knightley, Colonel Brandon) and clergyman (Tilney, Ferrars, Bertram) and of course, naval officer (Wentworth).

Darcy's personality and insane degree of stable wealth makes his character pretty hard to write without him being a trust fund baby. So I will not assign him a profession, he's managing the generational family wealth.

George Knightley - runs a small but successful factory that is basically the only industry in his small town. Cash poor because he's always reinvesting in the company. Robert Martin is the floor manager.

Charles Bingley - his father struck it rich in the dot.com era and then died. He's inherited most of the fortune. Has no idea what to do with it, so he's been in university for 6 years.

Colonel Brandon - did four tours in Afghanistan before his brother died and he took over the indebted family chain of hardware stores. He's finally gotten the finances straightened out and the chain is once again profitable (with 100% less tax fraud).

Edward Ferrars - went to a super prestigious university because his mother donated to it, has a degree in Environmental Science much to her chagrin. Wants to work at a non-profit or do his PhD but his mom won't help him with the cost of living so he lives at home, doesn't work, and is miserable.

Edmund Bertram - clergyman or civil servant

Frederick Wentworth - I'm not sure what to do with him, because he needs an uncertain, dangerous career that can also strike rich, not sure if we have a modern analogue... oh it's athlete. He's an athlete who actually made it big and got rich. You pick the sport.

Henry Tilney - this one is so tricky! Because you see Henry Tilney is a nepo baby, but he seems to actually enjoy his profession. So I guess he has a corporate job at Tilney Inc. but he does like it (despite the CEO)

Reading update!

Another OMG THEY WERE ROOMMATES romance. This book reminded me in a lot of ways of Him. Only, frankly, it was much better. I still thought there was some weirdness around the fact that the main character was bi (he thought a number of times that it would be an insult to his roommate/boyfriend if he corrected him when the bf called him gay), but I think it was more that it was a character flaw, and it just wasn’t handled that well. I’m definitely going to pick up the other books in the series.

It’s an m/m sports comic by CS Pacat so like, can’t really go wrong. They still hate each other.

My gay Christmas reading began with Let It Snow by Heidi Cullinan. I described this book to my wife thusly: “I mean...was it a Good Book? Not really. Did I have a lot of fun reading it? Yes.” As usual with romance novels, the cover makes it look completely absurd, when in fact it’s really not. Okay, the fact that one of the main characters gets lost using a GPS (??? do people still use GPS???) is pretty absurd, but the entire premise of the book is this guy getting snowed in while in the Middle Of Nowhere, Minnesota. Anyway yeah, Frankie, from Minneapolis by way of St Peter, is visiting his parents in Duluth, manages to drive completely the wrong direction, and ends up in a small town called Logan (actual real town in Minnesota) in an increasingly bad blizzard. He gets directions back to Duluth, but the blizzard is even worse, and a moose walks out in front of him, and he ends up in the ditch. He gets rescued by three gay lumberjacks and they ride out the storm in a cabin. Love ensues between Frankie (who can’t use a GPS apparently) and the grumpy, romantic lumberjack (who is actually a lawyer just moonlight as a lumberjack because of A Broken Heart).

Also!! It takes place in Minnesota!! So points just for that. I have three of the other books in the series. I actually had the fourth briefly as well, but it was about a poly relationship, and that’s not my bag.

Currently reading:

I am LOVING this book. The first Roan Parrish book I read wasn’t particularly funny, but this one has made me laugh out loud a number of times. It’s about a lesbian who lives in Owl Island, Maine (not a real place, but it feels like it’s heavily based on Frenchboro? And there’s an Owl’s Head on the mainland in the area) and a gay man who lives in New Orleans. Greta from Maine gets put in a date auction against her will be her enmeshed family, and Truman from NOLA shows up at his boyfriend’s house to give him a Christmas gift, only to find out the bf has a family. They both want to get away but have obligations (plants and a Great Dane, respectively), and they have a mutual friend who suggests they swap houses, which they do. Not to be a terrible bi female-ish person, but...I just really don’t enjoy reading wlw that much. I like Greta a lot! But I’m more invested in her relationship with the old lady she meets in NOLA than the romance. Truman’s romance in Maine, on the other hand, is the kind of swoony I go for. tbh, I feel like Parrish also was more into the Truman/Ash love story, since that’s more of a slow burn, whereas Greta and Carys got right down to business. Then again...okay I’m thinking about this now, and what Greta needed more was family, whereas Truman was the one who had his heart broken.

Anyway the book is very very good, 10/10 recommend so far.

Also fun fact! The part of Maine Greta is from really got ruined for me because my former in-laws have a summer house there, so it just makes me think of my ex. I think Truman and Ash’s romance is healing me, though.

Common Causes of Auto Accidents in Duluth, Georgia

According to a survey conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are four main categories of factors that cause car accidents: atmospheric conditions, roadway, vehicle, and driver.

In Duluth, Georgia, driver issues are one of the leading causes of car accidents. Some of the most frequent causes of driver-related accidents include the following:

Violation of traffic laws Improper lane changes Driving in the opposite (wrong) direction Tailgating Failing to obey posted signs Failing to stop at a red light or stop sign Failing to yield Drunk driving Speeding Distracted driver

Fallen electrical lines or trees Construction zones Potholes Icy or slick roads

Windy conditions Glare from the sun Fog Snow Rain

Results of Auto Accidents in Duluth, Georgia

Motor vehicles are very powerful, heavy, and large machines. When they are not driven carefully, serious injuries or death can be the result. If you were injured in a car crash, then you may need the following:

Hospitalization: Depend on how severe your injuries are, you might need to spend several hours up to several months at the hospital. Hospital stays and cost of treatment are very expensive and the costs can add up very quickly. The medical bills of an accident victim often exceed the amount of either their own or the other driver's insurance coverage. You may also lose income due to missing work which can exacerbate your financial situation even further.

Surgery: Car accidents frequently cause head trauma, deep lacerations, damaged organs, and crushed or broken bones. Usually, these kinds of injuries require surgery. Since car crashes often involve broken glass ad sheared metal, disfigurement and scarring commonly occur. In those situations, reconstruction and plastic surgery may be necessary.

Death: If you have suffered the loss of a loved one as a result of a car accident, you might have grounds to file a wrongful death claim. The following are some of the damages that you may be awarded in a wrongful death claim:

Medical bills Burial and funeral expenses Pain and suffering sustained by the deceased before their death Loos of future benefits (retirement, medical, etc.) Loss of future income Loss of the household duties that were performed by the deceased (repairs, child care, etc.) Loss of affection, love, etc. Punitive damages

Liability in Duluth Auto Accident Cases

If you were involved in an auto accident and suffered injuries as a result, you are allowed under Georgia state law to seek compensation for your injuries caused by the at-fault driver. You are not limited to recovering your medical expenses only. You can also recover for property damage, future and past lost wages, loss of quality of life, pain and suffering, and more.

In order to prove negligence, you and your auto accident attorney must establish that the accident was caused by the other driver's negligence. Negligence is a form of carelessness that may occur when a driver is driving too fast, texting and driving, is distracted, runs a red light or stop sign, follows your car too closely, or other negligent acts.

Even if the other driver was only partially at fault for the car accident, you are still able to recover damages from them. Georgia has a modified comparative negligence law where you are allowed to recover for injuries in cases where the other driver was at least 51% at fault for your accident. Any level of your own fault will reduce your amount of compensation. So, if it is determined that you were 10% at fault for your accident, then your compensation amount will be reduced by 10%.

Given the complex nature of personal injury law in the state of Georgia, it is critical to have an experienced and knowledgeable Duluth auto accident lawyer provide you with legal advice and guidance. Contact the law firm of Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. today for your free case review.

Economic damages: These are tangible, financially-related damages that cover reasonable future and current expenses. Economic damages may include loss of earnings, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage.

Kenneth S. Nugent, P.C. 4227 Pleasant Hill Rd #300, Duluth, GA 30096

Non-economic damages: These are nontangible damages that have a negative impact on the quality of your life, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of quality of life.

Punitive damages: In cases where it is shown that the defendant's negligent act demonstrated a reckless disregard for other people's safety, punitive damages may be awarded by a jury. Driving while intoxicated can be an example of this.

One of your worst fears has come true—you’ve been seriously injured in an accident. What are you going to do?

An Duluth personal injury lawyer at our distinguished law firm can investigate your accident, build your case, and fight for your right to maximum compensation. Understanding Fault in Claims

When someone harms you because of their careless, reckless, or intentional actions, the legal concepts that allows you to hold them accountable for your injuries is called negligence. By filing an injury claim in ABQ, you can seek damages from the person or people who caused you harm through their negligence.

First, however, you will need to gather evidence of fault and show the monetary value of the damages you’ve incurred because of your accident and related injuries.

There’s another law that affects your claim. It’s referred to as comparative negligence. This is when the negligence of each party involved in an accident is examined to determine the amount of fault that rests with each.

For example, if you and another person are involved in a vehicle wreck and are both found somewhat responsible, your damages can be limited by the amount of fault found with you. Let’s say you are found 45 percent at fault and the other party is found 55 percent at fault. You can only sue the other party for their 55 percent of the blame.

Personal Injury Examples What’s in an Average Personal Injury Settlement?

Your accident in Duluth has likely caused you to suffer great losses. Some will be of a monetary nature, such as your medical treatment costs, and some will be of a non-monetary nature, such as your pain and suffering.

Your Duluth personal injury attorney will help you recover the compensation you deserve. The following are some common damages you can be compensated for by filing and winning an injury claim:

   Medical expenses related to your injuries    Loss of income    Loss of enjoyment of life    Mental trauma    Mental health treatment    Physical therapy    Caregiving costs    Pain and suffering    Property damage

These are just some of the damages for which you can seek compensation. Really, almost any hardship you’ve faced as a result of your accident and injuries warrants compensation. An experienced injury lawyer can help you make sure no damage is overlooked in your personal injury claim. The Insurance Company’s Role in Your Duluth Personal Injury Claim

To receive compensation for your injuries, you may need to first file your claim with the negligent party’s insurance company. For instance, if you are hurt while at a place of business, you may file the claim for compensation with the relevant business insurance policy. Although it’s possible to file such a claim on your own, it’s not easy.

A lot goes into insurance negotiations. If you aren’t an experienced lawyer, you can be taken advantage of. Insurance companies want to keep their profits as high as possible, so they aren’t going to be volunteering any information that will put more money in your pocket. Insurers will do almost anything to reduce the value of your claim.

Unfortunately, insurance adjusters have many ways of keeping you from receiving fair compensation. They may try to record your statement to use against you, they may threaten to take you to court, or they may try to prove that your injuries aren’t as serious as you say they are. This is all in an effort to keep money in their own pockets.

Keep in mind that one of your attorney’s duties is to deal with the insurance company for you so you won’t have to worry about being taken advantage of. Your personal injury lawyer in Duluth will work tirelessly to see that you receive the compensation that’s owed to you.
