Succession from America has been in the talks behind closed doors and the United States may be down a state or two within the next 10 years. Lack of unity, lack of sanction and rise of socialism due to the pandemic the formula for change has been brewing consistently. Texas one of the few states openly looking to gain its independence once again due to what they feel to be insufficient governing by the U.S. officials and congress. With on going taxes and unrewarding returns, lack of response not only with the Covid-19 take over but even with recent weather anomalies that left millions with no heat, electric and running water. Some say the weather is the governments way of tactical warfare using the alleged “HARP” program others take it as a sign from the universe to push forward.
In the context of the United States, secession primarily refers to the voluntary withdrawal of one or more states from the Union that constitutes the United States; but may loosely refer to leaving a state or territory to form a separate territory or new state, or to the severing of an area from a city or county within a state. Texas’s governor proclaimed the state “100% OPEN,” and a chorus of Democratic mayors and big-name stores responded by defiantly reasserting their own mask mandates. Just five days before the governor’s announcement, the Round Rock City Council had unanimously voted to extend its mask mandate for an additional 60 days, declaring it will remain in place until at least April 29.
“A lot of businesses and enterprises and people are attracted to Texas for the low-cost, no income tax environment, and that has fueled the growth engine without a doubt,” said Steven Pedigo, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin who studies economic and urban development. “But on the flip side, you get what you pay for.”
The latest attempts from California and Oregon have been swept under the media rug but it is all due to simple conflict in interest between parties. Two sides who don’t agree on world and economic events, foreign conflict and other developments have forced the people to search for their own land to self govern. As we hope to move towards a post pandemic world, we have many issues to tackle as people realize we have to act radically to make things change rapidly. We have had civil war on our land before and many attempts by groups and states to gain independence, but none during such a time like this.
As the world awaits word on the next stimulus package, as states see that the value of the American dollar drop world wide but rise above the morals of men, the new world is realizing both sides are embracing change in their own way. As millennials lose faith in democracy and the flaws of our government show more and more, young people want less participation in things that don’t show results. With the gap of rich and poor steadily growing its seems a drastic change is at hand. We no longer plan for the future as a whole country, we seem to hold on to the past and breeze through the present. This is no longer the way and the people have had enough. So as we wait to see if the map as we know will be changing, lets continue to remain compassionate, positive and educated on current events. The survival of this nation is at the peak of warning signs, Americas 80 year cycle never fails. To put in perspective we have not been this in danger of a failing system since the civil war, the great depression after world war 2 and now Covid-19.
A new generation redefining what governing is while forcing the powers at hand, to make their next move the best step forward, for the American people and rest of the world. We learned once in 1930 will we relearn success in America?
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act on Wednesday Night in a 220-212 vote, bringing forth a number of police reform measures that are much needed to protect the lives of citizens from police brutality. After all of the resilient efforts, days in to months into years went by. Social injustice put on a the main news feeds of America, a stance made by the people of America again makes a step forward in victory. The Act is looking to create a data base to keep track of police misconduct, ban neck restraints and kneeling to suppress individuals, and a series of other irrational methods of detainment. An expected neck and neck race to the finish still upsetting some feel these acts are just, but that did not stop the mission. Through sports, politics, music, any outlet possible assisting in voicing their stance with Black Lives Matter. Artist like Y.G., Lil Baby, stars like Lebron James and a long list of others forcing the hand of the world.
“My Daddy Changed the world” Daughter of the late great George Floyd says with joy as she watches the masses go to war for his justice. Peaceful protest across the globe, some remained peaceful others disrupted by more hate and unjust tactics, but still we stand together. What a time in history where everyone heard the call and stood tall for an on going cause that needed a voice and it was heard.
Millions of people around the world watched footage filmed Monday of a white Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, as he cried out that he couldn’t breathe. He later died. The video — and scenes from the chaotic protests against police brutality that have unfolded over the ensuing week — found purchase and provoked responses across the globe. Some leaders took the opportunity to express solidarity with marginalized communities in the United States.
For the first time in american history a civil dispute has brought the country together with a record number of peaceful protest across the nation. The announcement came more than a week after Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis, sparking nationwide protests that call for the end to police violence against black citizens.
The new standard has been set we must continue to hold this in America to prevent these reckless happenings. We feel a officer sworn to protect should be held at a higher standard of responsibility and be subject to the highest charge and punishment. We as black citizens have been victims fighting off max sentencing, high rates of the death penalty and life sentences, unfair trials and tampered with or lack of evidence. The battle against mass incarceration and fair trials have forcefully conditioned us to be ok with having the most prisoners in the self proclaimed best country in the world. The U.S. incarcerates more people than any nation in the world, including China. And the U.S. is also the leader in the prison population rate. America’s approach to punishment often lacks a public safety rationale, disproportionately affects minorities, and inflicts overly harsh sentences.

FAQ’s WHAT IS CBD? Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 113 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. If you have time on your hands, go on and google the other 112. But all you really need to know is that Hemp is the word that the world uses for strains of the cannabis sativa plant with levels of THC below 0.3%.
IS THERE THC IN YOUR HEMP BASED CBD PRODUCTS? Not above 0.3%. We produce the finest and purest hemp CBD stuff. We are so proud of that fact that we list all the ingredients on our website and on each package. We also have lab 2 reports available on the product pages – click the link called Certificate of Analysis, for your reading pleasure.
IS CBD PSYCHOACTIVE? No ma’am. CBD affects our central nervous system (we believe in a good way) but does not produce any high effects. You should maintain a clear mind.
WILL CBD HELP ME? If we didn’t believe that, we wouldn’t be here. Many studies claim that CBD has numerous health benefits. Such studies suggest that it can naturally aid in nervous system balance, increase focus and clarity, reduce stress and anxiety, help with sleep and weight loss, manage aches and pains and reduce inflammation. You get the picture.
