She predicted his presidency over the laughter of Bill Maher and his audience during the Republican primary. She endorsed his campaign and titled her book In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome. She really believed.</font></div> <div class="yiv6166889617MsoNormal" style=""><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></div> <div class="yiv6166889617MsoNormal" style=""><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Novelty and, more importantly alienation, explain why Coulter prophesied that Trump would be president all the way back in August 2015. He was like no one else running, she fawned: "He's attractive. He's tall. He's hilariously funny." Like no one else, she insisted, he believed what he said: "Trump is different. We've been lied to for thirty years about immigration.

It's your life - but those in authority might tell you what to do - at their convenience - and expect you to obey, even though you know what you need and you see what is going on there. <br> <br> THEY HAVE EARS BUT THEY DO NOT LISTEN.<br> <br> "Rules" take power over patients. "Rules" do not apply to patients who come to the hospital with large groups of noisy, demanding friends and relatives, while patients there alone cry for someone to get them on and off the toilet. <br> <br> The staff do not seem to be able to differentiate between mentally ill patients and those who are just trying to survive, politely, painfully patiently. <br> <br> Everyone rushes around. It seems no one communicates with anyone else. You are rushed about to appointments for which there is no need at all to rush. You are told you are going home and you spend all day wondering what's going on, and then you are told you are not going home - and then - you are.<br> <br> As a patient, I was drained and frustrated and finally forced out of my room by bullies.<br> <br> Most everyone blames Quebec's politicians for the brutal cuts to the hospital's budget. A couple of years ago, it was reported that <b style="">2000 patients died because their treatments had to be delayed so long, they couldn't be saved. </b><br> <br> Since anyone can fall ill and end up in a hospital in Quebec - perhaps too late to survive - voters would be wise to ask about the health of Quebec politicians and their families. How was Parizeau treated when he was a patient at the Jewish General Hospital? Was he left in wet diapers too? <br> <br> You might also question the financial status of hospital administrators and their friends. As I wrote as far back as 2015 in the case of Donald Trump - FOLLOW THE MONEY.<br> <br> I suggest you read these reports in chronologial order as much as possible. <br> </span><br> <br> </font></font>Phyllis Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06923874190935369126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899180445811668276.post-84975277019577640982019-01-21T10:50:00.001-08:002019-01-21T10:50:51.680-08:00JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL - "MORT !

The gang complained. I agreed that the bathroom light be turned out, but the light over my bed be left on.<br> <br> Shortly after the gang left late in the evening, the patient made a phone call - probably on a cell phone as the house phones are turned off at 10:00 pm. I did not understand the conversation - most likely in Portuguese - but he stated angrily about five times in the course of the conversation -"MORT! MORT! MORT!"<br> <br> </font></div> <div class="yiv0713745783MsoNormal" style=""><font style="" size="3"><span style="background-color: lightyellow;">Very soon after that an orderly – tall, bald, male - built like a football player, eye glasses - likely Haitian - marched into my space and stated in an authoritative tone - "NO LIGHTS!"- and he left me in total pitch darkness with the patient who had just declared, "MORT! MORT! MORT!"<br> <br> I fled the room. I spent the night in a chair in front of the nurses' station where I felt comfortable with the naked and the bewildered. I had my meals there and only returned to the room briefly to use the bathroom, accompanied by orderlies. Very late at night, nurses assured me the man was fast asleep and so, exhausted, I returned to my bed for a brief time.<br> <br> There followed a couple of days more of confusion as I was told twice that I was going home and then I wasn't going home and then I was.

The voice answers, "Oh, We can't let you do that." End of call. <br> <br> She didn't seem concerned.

I learned later that there had been two deaths. It's heartbreaking. I understand and I know one of the good people who was there to help. Of course I understand.

There was a woman sharing the double room at the time. Her man friend was constantly with her. Although she was a cancer patient and appeared frail, her friend took her out of the hospital regularly to his home and to a Vietnamese restaurant - even in the middle of bitter winter evenings. <br style=""><br style="">She said she didn't like hospital food and complained all the time about her shampoo versus hair conditioner. He chased down doctors in the hall and demanded more and more explanations about her medical procedures and treatments. <br style=""><br style="">They talked constantly about El Salvador, Israel, Manhattan, Miami - although he was a taxi driver by trade. How do you afford such travels on a taxi driver's income? <br style=""><br style="">On New Year's Eve, I left my bed to use the washroom which was located just a few feet from my bed. I left my purse leaning against the inside rail of my bed nearest to the other patient's bed - a distance of two arms' lengths, divided only by a curtain.<br style=""><br style="">I returned to my bed in a few minutes. The only people in the room throughout this time were the couple I just mentioned. <br style=""><br style="">In a few moments, I reached for my purse and my heart sank. I was afraid to look. <br style=""><br style="">I'd had $140. all in $20. bills.<br style=""><br style="">My fear was justified. When I returned from the washroom, one of the zippers on my black bag was open.<br style=""><br style="">Five of the $20. bills were gone. <br style=""><br style="">I reported it to the nurses right away. I made a formal, written complaint in the morning. I thought it was to the Montreal Police but I was told it was to JGH Security. Joni of the hospital's social service department provided me with a photo copy.<br style=""><br style="">The incident troubled me for obvious reasons, but more than that: I kept asking myself if there was any possibility that I was mistaken. I saw no one else. I had no visitors. I went nowhere. I bought nothing. I waited to come home and check before publishing this.</font> <div><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"><br> </font><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></div> </font>Phyllis Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06923874190935369126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899180445811668276.post-45203638334950798352019-01-19T09:10:00.001-08:002019-01-19T09:10:15.459-08:00SKIP THE FOOD BANKS<font color='black' size='3' face='' Times New Roman', Times, serif'> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: khaki;"><br> <img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrr47HVcT6O1V7tdJFJ8FNQAa5ZghXfvCozl8I3obzIl66jlF_" alt="Image result for PHOTO FOOD BANQUET" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: lightyellow;"><br> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: lightyellow;">BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO LUNCH <br> AT THE TRUMPS.</span><br> <br> </div> </font>Phyllis Carterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06923874190935369126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899180445811668276.post-50956704608717283762019-01-19T02:35:00.000-08:002019-01-19T02:36:01.648-08:00JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL - I WAS A PRISONER - DECEMBER 30, 2018<font color='black' size='3' face='' Times New Roman', Times, serif'> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">JEWISH GENERAL HOSPTAL CHAOS<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">OUT OF SIGHT RECENTLY, BUT PLENTY TO TELL.

I was accused by one of them - I think it was the nurse, Hasib - of not wanting to go home, but that I really wanted to stay in the hospital and I was using excuses to stay.

You don't realize how important it is to be able to stand and walk and pick yourself off the floor until suddenly, you can't.<br> <br> I will share my experience from this point and tell you everything, as much as possible in chronological order. This report is being transcribed from the notes I made by hand all through this adventure.<br> <br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">December 30, 2018<br> <br> It couldn't happen in Canada! But it did. <br> <br> I was admitted to the 8<sup>th</sup> floor. I expected to see a doctor. This was where the unbelievable nightmare began. There was no doctor. It was the holiday season. Not a doctor to be seen anywhere.<br> <br> Entering the cell designated for my stay, I was struck with a feeling of dark despair – like entering prison or the "gulag" people write about. Why? The room was clean, no indication of trouble – yet, The pleasant nurse asked numerous questions. I replied. And she was gone. I was left there, alone. No walker. No way to get to the toilet. I'm ringing for a nurse. No response. Alone, unable to walk. Long, long wait! Afraid to wet my pants. Haven't done that in 80 years – until now?<br> <br> Supper in Emergency had been cold, dry macaroni – unfit to eat. My roommate provided a tangerine and a little packet of peanut butter. You meet kind people all along the way. A nurse found a slice of bread before I was rushed out to the 8<sup>th</sup> floor. Here I am alone, my bladder aching. I waited. Waited. I rang and rang and I am waiting.<br> <br> I tried to get out of the binding gown and put my own clothes back on. I couldn't reach the phone. A nurse showed up and got me to the bathroom. She "explained" how to use the phone. Nothing worked. The nurse was gone.<br> <br> Before 10:00 pm<br> <br> Desperate, I tried 911.<br> <br> I am at the JGH and I want to leave. I have no idea of where I could go. I want to escape.<br> <br> The Montreal Police said I need a doctor's permission to leave. The police can't help anyone inside the hospital.<br> <br> But there are no doctors to be found. I am a prisoner – treated like a mental patient in the hospital that I have known since I was a young girl. Trapped. <br> <br> I was finally able to contact two young nurses who entered my cell together – Amanda and Samantha. These angels found a full frozen supper meal in a fridge and heated it up for me. A taste of life. <br> <br> Meanwhile, I keep trying to phone friends. My cell phone has a tech mind of its own. I couldn't get anything to work. Tech stuff mangled and muzzled my every attempt. <br> <br> I finally connected with a family member. I ate. I was so shaken I spilled tomato juice on my lap. Voices in the hall are wishing each other "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"<br> <br> It's Midnight, December 30, 2018. <br> <br> (Is this when I was moved to Room 8828?)<br> <br> I am alone. I write. It's my breath – My salvation. I keep thinking of John McCaine. Five years of torture. I think of Yemen and thousands of refugees – bombed, maimed, starved - and thousands with no toilets as they make their way over painful miles struggling to survive. How can I complain!<br> <br> Pride went out the window when nurses had to wipe my bottom! Good people treating patients with kindness and dignity.<br> <br> I spent hours in Emergency with a beautiful lady journalist, Margaret, who looked like an older Audrey Hepburn and I shared in prayer and sentimental "pop" songs with a priest who doesn't want to be called "Father" but just "Mike".<br> <br> Other guests I met in Emergency that evening were Monique and her son, Zachary. She was the one who provided the tangerine and peanut butter. She devoted day and night to taking care of her beloved 90 year old father.<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">There was Nurse Scott, a dynamic unit of polite, gentle energy I couldn't resist calling "Scotty" – with Star Trek in mind. He never slowed down to take a breath.<br> <br> These ships pass in the night giving the hospital experience a feeling of purpose, reason for being there. There was no way to foresee what I was about to face in the following hours and weeks.<br> <br> HOURS ALONE, TRAPPED.<br> <br> There is something horrible behind this nightmare. YOU ARE IN HOSPITAL IN CANADA AND YOU CAN'T GET AWAY. The police can't – or just will not help you. The JGH and the Montreal Police control you, own you. <br> <br> When the patient enters the JGH he/she becomes a prisoner of the hospital administrators. As I have reported here over the years, you cannot expect the Montreal Police to protect you.<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-color: lightyellow;"><font size="2" style="">It's past Midnight, December 30 now. Can we dare to hope for a Happy New Year? Do you believe that 2019 will be any better?<br> <br> There is hope. There is Amanda and Samantha, Mike and Margaret, Monique and Zachary and Scotty - and one of the nurses who mysteriously left a Kit Kat bar on my bedside table in Emergency.

The main question is whether, after the election, he will be forced to strike a more centrist coalition to assemble a majority in parliament.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">A vote is scheduled for Wednesday to dissolve the parliament, known as the Knesset.

Netanyahu was widely faulted, including by former defense minister Avigdor Liberman, for reaching a temporary truce with the group this fall without a long-term solution for stemming rocket and other attacks from Gaza. The prime minister has also been criticized for a spike in violent attacks against Israelis in the West Bank.</font><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">At the same time, the Israeli news media has intently covered a series of corruption investigations into Netanyahu focusing on allegations that he accepted favors and gifts from several wealthy benefactors and business executives.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">The Israeli police have already recommended indicting him in three cases, and it is now up to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit to build a case that can stand up in court.

The United Nations International Law Commission later codified the underlying principle from Nuremberg as "the fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">This is likely the most famous declaration in the history of international law and is as settled as anything possibly can be.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">However, many members of the Washington, D.C. elite are now stating that it, in fact, is a legitimate defense for American officials who violate international law to claim they were just following orders.</font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"><br> </font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Specifically, they say Gina Haspel, a top CIA officer whom President Donald Trump has designated to be the agency's next director, bears no responsibility for the torture she supervised during George W. Bush's administration.<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Haspel oversaw a secret "black site" in Thailand, at which prisoners were waterboarded and subjected to other severe forms of abuse. Haspel later participated in the destruction of the CIA's videotapes of some of its torture sessions. There is informed speculation that part of the CIA's motivation for destroying these records may have been that they showed operatives employing torture to generate false "intelligence" used to justify the invasion of Iraq.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">John Kiriakou, a former CIA operative who helped capture many Al Qaeda prisoners, recently said that Haspel was known to some at the agency as "Bloody Gina" and that "Gina and people like Gina did it, I think, because they enjoyed doing it. They tortured just for the sake of torture, not for the sake of gathering information." (In 2012, in a convoluted case, Kiriakou pleaded guilty to leaking the identity of a covert CIA officer to the press and spent a year in prison.)<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Some of Haspel's champions have used the exact language of the popular version of the Nuremberg defense, while others have paraphrased it.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">One who paraphrased it is Michael Hayden, former director of both the CIA and the National Security Agency. In a Wednesday op-ed, Hayden endorsed Haspel as head of the CIA, writing that "Haspel did nothing more and nothing less than what the nation and the agency asked her to do, and she did it well."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Hayden later said on Twitter that Haspel's actions were "consistent with U.S. law as interpreted by the department of justice." This is true: In 2002, the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department declared in a series of notorious memos that it was legal for the U.S. to engage in "enhanced interrogation techniques" that were obviously torture. Of course, the actions of the Nuremberg defendants had also been "legal" under German law.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">John Brennan, who ran the CIA under President Barack Obama, made similar remarks on Tuesday when asked about Haspel. The Bush administration had decided that its torture program was legal, said Brennan, and Haspel "tried to carry out her duties at CIA to the best of her ability, even when the CIA was asked to do some very difficult things."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Texas Republican Rep. Will Hurd used the precise language of the Nuremberg defense during a Tuesday appearance on CNN when Wolf Blitzer asked him to respond to a statement from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.: "The Senate must do its job in scrutinizing the record and involvement of Gina Haspel in this disgraceful program."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Hurd, a member of the House Intelligence Committee and a former CIA operative as well, told Blitzer that "this wasn't Gina's idea. She was following orders. … She implemented orders and was doing her job."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Hurd also told Blitzer, "You have to remember where we were at that moment, thinking that another attack was going to happen."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">This is another defense that is explicitly illegitimate under international law. The U.N. Convention Against Torture, which was transmitted to the Senate by Ronald Reagan in 1988, states that "no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat or war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="background-color: lightyellow;"><font size="2" style="">Notably, Blitzer did not have any follow-up questions for Hurd about his jarring comments.</font><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Samantha Winograd, who served on President Obama's National Security Council and now is an analyst for CNN, likewise used Nuremberg defense language in an appearance on the network. Haspel, she said, "was implementing the lawful orders of the president. … You could argue she should have quit because the program was so abhorrent. But she was following orders."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Last but not least there's Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, who issued a ringing defense of Haspel in Politico, claiming she was merely acting "in response to what she was told were lawful orders."<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Remarkably, this perspective has even seeped into the viewpoint of regular journalists.

The news comes a day after the president announced troop withdrawals in Syria.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Shortly after Mr. Trump's post, Mr. Mattis released a letter he wrote to Mr. Trump acknowledging that the president had a right to a defense secretary with views "better aligned" with his.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Below is the full text of that letter, as released by the Defense Department.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Dear Mr. President:<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">I have been privileged to serve as our country's 26th Secretary of Defense which has allowed me to serve alongside our men and women of the Department in defense of our citizens and our ideals.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">I am proud of the progress that has been made over the past two years on some of the key goals articulated in our National Defense Strategy: putting the Department on a more sound budgetary footing, improving readiness and lethality in our forces, and reforming the Department's business practices for greater performance. Our troops continue to provide the capabilities needed to prevail in conflict and sustain strong U.S. global influence.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">One core belief I have always held is that our strength as a nation is inextricably linked to the strength of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships. While the US remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interests or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies. Like you, I have said from the beginning that the armed forces of the United States should not be the policeman of the world. Instead, we must use all tools of American power to provide for the common defense, including providing effective leadership to our alliances. NATO's 29 democracies demonstrated that strength in their commitment to fighting alongside us following the 9-11 attack on America. The Defeat-ISIS coalition of 74 nations is further proof.<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Similarly, I believe we must be resolute and unambiguous in our approach to those countries whose strategic interests are increasingly in tension with ours. It is clear that China and Russia, for example, want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian model — gaining veto authority over other nations' economic, diplomatic, and security decisions — to promote their own interests at the expense of their neighbors, America and our allies. That is why we must use all the tools of American power to provide for the common defense.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">My views on treating allies with respect and also being clear-eyed about both malign actors and strategic competitors are strongly held and informed by over four decades of immersion in these issues. We must do everything possible to advance an international order that is most conducive to our security, prosperity and values, and we are strengthened in this effort by the solidarity of our alliances.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position. The end date for my tenure is February 28, 2019, a date that should allow sufficient time for a successor to be nominated and confirmed as well as to make sure the Department's interests are properly articulated and protected at upcoming events to include Congressional posture hearings and the NATO Defense Ministerial meeting in February. Further, that a full transition to a new Secretary of Defense occurs well in advance of the transition of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in September in order to ensure stability within the Department.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">I pledge my full effort to a smooth transition that ensures the needs and interests of the 2.15 million Service Members and 732,079 DoD civilians receive undistracted attention of the Department at all times so that they can fulfill their critical, round-the-clock mission to protect the American people.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">I very much appreciate this opportunity to serve the nation and our men and women in uniform.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" style="background-color: lightyellow;">Jim N.

- Shares of Pacific Gas & Electric soared Friday after California's top utility regulator said his agency will help the company deal with potentially crippling liability costs from

style="background-color: lightyellow;">No cause has been determined, but speculation has centered on PG&E, which reported an outage around the time and place the fire ignited. <br> <b><br> The death toll from the so-called Camp Fire has risen to at least 63, with hundreds of people still unaccounted for.</b> California state investigators in June faulted PG&E-owned power lines for sparking a dozen blazes in Northern California in the fall of 2017 that <b>killed 46 and incinerated nearly 9,000 homes and other structures.</b><o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font

President Michael Picker sought to calm financial markets by indicating support for the continued viability of PG&E and other publicly traded utilities.<o:p></o:p></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;"> </font></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" style="background-color: lightyellow;">In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Picker said his agency will soon implement a provision in a new state law that makes it easier for utilities to pass costs for past wildfires to their customers.
