Per ABC News report tonight: Trump says he'll declare Strait of Hormuz a US territory

Last Summer camp RN work was 2 years ago... AAP = American Academy of Pediatrics link posted after President Trumps E.O to offer professional advice counterpoint. Philadelphia Inquirer 8/10/26 Measles cases in Pennsylvania top 200 as experts worry about back-to-school spread Pennsylvania parents will soon have easy access to school-level vaccination data to see measles risk

RSV, Rotovirus, Hep B, meningitis all should be given + yearly flu. Had to deal with Chicken pox and measles as Summer camp RN with very sick campers not fun, add in keeping them entertained, up at night for temp checks + meds when immunization could have prevented it. Pediatrician no longer permitted those without 2 doses MMR at camp after this. Children immunocompromised of course get adjusted vax schedule. If vaccines not recommended by CDC/government then insurance companies won't approve payment. 2026 AAP Immunization Schedulehttps://publications.aap.org/redbook/resources/15585/AAP-Immunization-Schedule?autologincheck=redirected

Placing my nursing cap on - 5yrs LPN SNF/Hospital + 44yrs RN -Hospital/SNF, Hospice, Home Health and non-medical home care + SNF ombudsman: RN's have a license to function independently while LPN's can only work under the direction of an RN/Physician/NP/Dentist in U.S states. Many LPN's have only worked in 1 or 2 SNF/Rehab facilities used to those standards which may not follow state regs. RN's functioning as state surveyor's often have worked in multiple facilities, educated on state, Medicare and Medicaid national regulations and trained to spot deviations from standards of care that impact patient safety.

Check out the latest Presidential Executive Order regarding immunizations: Order recommends children receive immunizations for 11 diseases, fewer than the 18 current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines; ends recommendation that all minors receive the COVID-19 vaccine; effort to give parents more freedom to choose which shots their children take, and changed timeline. Parents have had control over immunization schedule since 1986 when Vaccine information sheets required to be given prior to vaccination. I worked with my 1985 kids Pediatrician last 2 years ago at their Summer camp, discussed increased in parents delaying immunization as I had to give several kids vaccines in order to attend camp.

Another blow to Trump, now appealing to the Supreme Court: ABC News 8/7/2026 Appeals court blocks construction of White House ballroomThe ruling said that congressional approval is needed for the project. BINGO!!

Don't talk to me about Hunter Biden. New way for Presidential grifting: Trump's paid early access to Truth Social posts has launched "A grifter in politics is someone who uses the political process to enrich themselves, often through dishonest practices like swindling or manipulating public trust for personal gain. They are typically seen as exploiting political movements or causes for financial benefit rather than genuine interest in governance."

Who will Trump appoint as Attorney General next?

Well Trump will be addressing the country on Thursday 9 PM ET, expected he will release info saying China affected voting machines changing votes in 2020 election depriving him of Presidency per news reports today. What did Obama and Biden's Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and CISA do to prevent interference that allowed him to be elected in 2016 and 2024?? U.S. Election Assistance Commission was involved in certifying voting machine companies in 2016, 2020, 2024 + again this year (per my posted articles). Will a new organization/outside company be changed with re-vetting election machine integrity? Current CIA Director John Ratcliff was DNI director in 2019 --he never reported confirmed CHINA meddling. AG William Barr disputed Trump, Barr says no widespread election fraud. Awaiting what new info will be released AND what new election procedures/regulations will be desired --or even postponing or cancelling Nov 2026 elections.

Interesting as Todd Blanche Senate interview for Attorney General set for this Wednesday, he approved settlement for Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund". ABC News 7/13/26

Nope! I'm well aware of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission due to lawsuits by Trump admin over 2020 PA tampering allegations, especially voting machine issues; read their 2020 report about measures taken due to covid + CARES ACT along with outside country interference measures --decentralized state voting machines, etc. Voting over 50 years when we had levered machines, don't remember us having punch ballots like FL --their hanging chads stopped with 2002 Help America Vote Act. Went to touch screens, now scantrons so paper ballot record is spot rechecked to confirm accurate vote post election prior to vote certification. PA's biggest issue back in legislators hands is to get the Republican Senate to vote to allow ballots be opened prior to 7A election day like many states do; much work to permit EARLY VOTING like many states --just 1 day or requesting paper ballot in PA, with Trump trying to stop. PA ballots have tracking bar so one can check online returned + county election staff contact voter if issues noted- missing signature or date ="curing the ballot." 2024 Spotlight PA newsletter I devour Elections 101: Everything you need to know about Pa.'s voting machines, how the state keeps them safe, and more 2025: U.S. Election Assistance Commission Commends Delaware County Bureau of Elections for Comprehensive Election Security Practices covered in my local paper Covering Pennsylvania Elections 101 😁

Iron Lung negative-pressure ventilator was phased out when I started as LPN in 1977 by more modern positive pressure, bipap and Trilogy ventilators (my husband started using in 2018). What I remember from classes is that they had side ports for nurses to reach in for care.

Thank you Supreme Court for Slaughter decision... Trump fires all remaining Election Assistance Commission members, leaving agency unable to act, ripe for election interference for November 2026 elections. The remaining three commissioners of the four-member bipartisan commission ⁠were forced out on Thursday in different ways: the one Republican appointee resigned and the other ⁠two, Democratic appointees were notified of their terminations via email from the White House presidential personnel office.

A 30-Second SummaryU.S Election Assistance Commission Frequently Asked Questions So, will the Trump say they didn't properly certify + recertify voting systems nor accredit testing laboratories, therefore need to cancel elections despite EAC working with the various states election commissions?
