“Your Honor” Amy Coney Barrett vows to keep politics out of the law, but Democrats & Republicans have other ideas as confirmation hearings begin.

By Desert Star Staff As Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing kicks off, the Trump-nominated judge has vowed to leave politics out of the law. The hearing

itself, however, promises to be a hyper-partisan battle.

The Senate Judiciary Committee meets on Monday to get the ball rolling on Coney Barrett’s nomination process.

In her opening remarks,

Coney Barrett promised to interpret the law “as written, not as the judge wishes it were,” in the style of her mentor, the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia.

“Courts have a vital

responsibility to enforce the rule of law,” she continued, “but courts are not designed to solve every problem or right every wrong in our public life. The government’s policy decisions and value judgments

must be made by the political branches elected by and accountable to the people.”

Politics, however, are to the forefront of Coney Barrett’s Continues on Page 5

Europeans Eager to Fly But Stymied by Rules

By Pam Price According to a new study released by the European Travel Commission (ETC) in the framework of a project co-funded by the European Union, European travelers are eager to resume travel. Still, anxiety over a rising number of coronavirus cases and stringent travel restrictions may cause many to put their anticipated journeys on hold. This is the first of six monthly reports that gauge European travelers’ shortterm travel intentions from ten high-volume source markets to better understand and respond to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on travel in Europe. The report also provides information on

about traveling remains high as Europeans must navigate complicated restrictions and a persistent pandemic. The ETC report found that primary concerns for those intending to travel in the short-term are quarantine measures during a trip (15%), rising numbers of COVID-19 cases (12%), the possibility of falling ill at the destination (11%) and changing/unpredictable travel restrictions (10%).

Coordinating European travel rules: A renewed urgency The first report shows that quarantines, shifting border regulations, and unclear booking and cancellation policies create obstacles for respondents with short-term travel plans and highlight the need for people’s travel preferences, leading the ranking. Among including types of destinations those planning to resume travel European governments to coordinate travel rules and and experiences, holiday sooner, the most appealing periods, and concerns relating types of leisure trips are sun & regulations without delay. to travel in the next months. beach holidays (25%), followed “The report clearly indicates that Europeans’ appetite Despite the pandemic, by city breaks (19%) and for travel is robust, but it Europeans remain nature/outdoors trips (16%). is also being held back upbeat about travel Europeans prioritize by understandable health A clear majority of health and safety (21%) worries and a discouraging respondents (54%) indicate on their travels but also array of COVID-related rules that they intend to take a trip in factor in peace of mind and and restrictions,” said ETC the next six months, while 26% relaxation (14%) as well as Executive Director Eduardo affordability (13%).

‘Not gonna play’ Trump’s game

has set off alarms by taking things even further and saying voters “don’t deserve” to know his position on the issue.

they would pack the Supreme Court with more extra justices if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed before November’s election.

Told in Las Vegas by a local reporter that his position on court-packing, which he opposed during the Democratic Party’s presidential primary, is the “number one thing”viewers ask about, Biden dismissed the claim, saying, “Well you’ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans who don’t want me continuing to talk about what they’re doing to the court right now.”

“Well, sir, don’t the voters deserve to know…?” reporter Ross DiMattei asked.

“No, they don’t deserve,” Biden said, then tearing into President Donald Trump without naming him. “I’m not gonna play his game, he’d love me to talk about, and I’ve already said something on Biden and his running court-packing, he’d love that mate, Sen. Kamala Harris to be the discussion instead (D-California), have thus far dodged the question of whether of what he’s doing now.”

and the unprecedented impact it continues to have on global tourism.

In the meantime, The Wall Street Journal has reported that U.S. officials are looking to restart quarantinefree air travel between major international destinations, with flights between New York City and London possibly starting

by Christmas—that’s too late for the European beach getaway you might have been dreaming about. However, it can’t come too soon for the thousands of folks still separated from their families because of ongoing travel fallout from the pandemic.

The Journal also reports that any travel corridors would require fliers to be tested before and after flights. The plans’ early stages have mostly focused on talks with officials in the U.K. and Germany, the Journal reported. So far, of all the international airlines based in the United States, only Delta has been blocking middle seats. Seems like if more airlines blocked middle seats on that tedious longhaul across the Atlantic, it would do even more to boost traveler confidence and get them on planes again. At press time, it does not appear that Delta’s codeshare partner Virgin Atlantic offers better service “across the pond” than any American airline is blocking middle seats—but perhaps they should!

Biden turning the courtpacking question into a matter of voters not “deserving” to know his position has raised the alarm with critics.

“Strange theory of how elections are supposed to work,” author and Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett tweeted in reaction.

Court-packing has become a more popular idea among Democrats in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death and the president’s insistence on filling her seat before the election. Biden himself waved off the notion of packing the Supreme Court while running for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, saying, “we’ll live to rue that day” if it were ever done.

However, he has more recently refused to take a position on the issue, previously stating he would not comment on the matter until after the election.

Strategies in Early Retirement to Protect Investments

By Janice Gough Periods of market unrest are common and can wreak havoc on any portfolio.

Market Volatility can present a considerable problem during retirement.

It poses a much greater risk in early, rather than mid to late retirement. Clients must be aware of the value of retirement planning to head off the genuine threat. Despite that risk, most clients – particularly affluent consumers with more significant market investments – may have the misperception that they are immune to market shocks.

Despite the inevitability of

downturns, they believe their portfolio will have time to recover, as it has in the past.

However, for most people who lose money after a market correction, it may take 7 to 10 years for the portfolio to get back to the point it was before the correction.

Risk investments, such as stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, value fluctuations due to volatility, are problematic for most people. The depletion of the retirement account will be greater because more shares must be sold to provide an established set income. This is called sequence-of-returns risk – the risk of taking withdrawals from an investment with poor returns. It is also referred to as Reverse dollar-cost averaging.

The portfolio will have no time to recover. If personal expenses go up, such as a medical emergency, things can get worse. No one can predict when a correction will occur, but it is inevitable.

Smart Planning can help protect your life savings and assets from a volatile and unpredictable market.

The Golden Rule of 100 tells us to subtract our age from 100, and that percentage will represent the portion of your portfolio that should be “at-risk” and what portion should be in “safety.” Fixed or Equity Indexed Annuities offer a Safe investment choice. By securing this portion of your portfolio, you can trust that income will remain stable.

With some products, your

principal can continue to earn interests even while you draw income from the account.

It is predicted that within the next few years that SPIAs, single premium annuities will become one of the greatest used products for retirees.

Their fees are low, and an SPIA guarantees you a lifetime unfluctuating income. This product immediately annuities your investment, which means that the payout is sealed, and the plan cannot be changed.

There are various settlement options offered by SPIAs, Another plan to protect against volatility is to utilize the cash value of permanent life insurance. It can act as a stopgap during times of economic upheaval, providing supplemental funds for retirement expenses as needed. For those who also need death benefit protection

for their family, consideration would be to buy permanent life insurance while working and potentially build up the policy’s cash value. While the primary purpose of life insurance is the death benefit, it is an incredibly versatile product that can serve as a cushion to help prepare for the unexpected. The cash builds up in life insurance can be used as a loan with no tax consequences. Withdrawals from life insurance can replace the income taken from a Risk product while the market is down. This can help reduce the impact of market volatility on the overall investment portfolio. However, life benefits will be reduced. Your portfolio could have time to recover before withdrawals resume. Always seek consultation from your advisor before taking withdrawals from a qualified plan.

Civility Must Start Somewhere

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL From presidential debate stages to courtrooms to families to HOAs, civility is becoming so rare, it should be considered endangered.

Differences of opinion are no longer allowed - either you agree with me or you are a demon and I will reject any dialogue with you. So, we need some serious rethinking of disagreement and relationship in HOAs. Since we clearly cannot count on our political leaders to model civility, we must start it from the grass roots level. Here are some thoughts to consider regarding disagreement and what it means (or doesn’t).

You don’t know or see it all. In the old parable of the blind monks and the elephant, each monk was stationed at a different part of the animal, and each had a distinctly different impression than the others. None were lying, yet each had a different truth. It

is entirely possible that others in the HOA know something you don’t and see something you haven’t seen. Allow others to share that divergent view.

These people are your neighbors. While it may be satisfying to lash out and say or write awful things about someone you are angry with, you have to see these folks around the HOA. While you can disconnect on social media, you can’t disconnect your neighbors- they are still there. Remember you have to live with these folks and extend courtesy and respect. You’ll make your life (and theirs) less stressful and uncomfortable.

Your opinions are not you, and rejection of your argument is not rejection of you. If I think that a remodeled clubhouse is important and you don’t, does that mean one of us is bad? Your opinions about HOA business have no relation to your worth as an individual, so don’t take offense when someone votes against your point of view.

Civility is not the October 14, 2020

same as agreement, and unanimous votes are unnecessary. Many boards seem to feel that votes must be unanimous. That is legally incorrect and destructive.

Disagreement is healthy, and there is nothing disloyal about voting against the majority.

Allow for different opinions and dissenting votes - next time it might be you.

Reject abhorrent abusive comments, whether written or oral. Raise the bar in your community.

Avoid assumptions or projections about others’ intentions. Every four years, our country is split in half, with each side unreasonably thinking the other side’s presidential candidate hates America and wants to destroy it. The fact that someone in your HOA disagrees with you does not mean they want to harm the HOA, but only that they have a different view about the HOA’s needs. Don’t assume someone acts out of spite or bruised ego. Give them a chance to prove good intent.

It is also good to keep enough cash on hand to manage unexpected expenses or to utilize during market fluctuations. The early Planning of retirement is the wisest plan one can make. With mortality increasing to over 100, steady income will be needed for more extended periods. A Guaranteed Lifetime Benefit Withdrawal option is key.

Consider adopting a civility pledge. Ask your HOA leaders to sign it annually and adopt it as HOA policy. The Community Associations Institute created a civility pledge which can be found at www.caionline. org. Adopt it or use it as a template to build your association’s civility policy.

HOA living requires healthy interaction among people who don’t always see eye to eye except on the one nonnegotiable item - neighborly treatment of neighbors. Insist that civility be paramount at all times and in all places. Isn’t peace in your HOA worth it?

By Desert Star Staff Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the White House Coronavirus Task Force members, says he was “taken out of context,” and his words were used without his permission in a pro-Trump ad that appeared to show him praising the president.

“In my nearly five decades of public service, I have never publicly endorsed any political candidate,” Fauci said in a statement to CNN the day after the release of the political ad.

The ad in question highlights the president’s recent recovery from Covid-19 and his administration’s actions in battling the pandemic. Fauci is featured at one point, saying, “I can’t imagine that...anybody could be doing more.”

It appears in the short clip that Fauci is praising the president, but he says it is, in fact, a “broad statement” made months ago about “federal public health officials.”

“The comments attributed to me without my permission in the GOP campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement I made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials,” Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said.

In the original March interview with Fox News from which Fauci’s comment comes from, he talks about the Coronavirus White House Task Force.

“Since the beginning, that we even recognized what this was, I have been devoting almost full time on this. I’m down at the White House virtually every day with the task force. It’s every single day. So, I can’t imagine that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more,” Fauci initially said.

A spokesman for Trump’s campaign, which is behind the ad, has already responded

TAURUS You will ponder upon new, very different, more inclusive ways of communicating.

You will realize that you must listen now with curiosity and penetrating questions (instead of solving problems) when others speak. With deep listening great insights occur for both listener and speaker. Search for ways to have more trust. Then you can reveal the sterling truths about yourself without fear.

Then you can love more, too.

GEMINI

There’s only the feeling of goodness, that life’s precious and paradox is acceptable.

You will walk through a door in the next several weeks. You will open that door and then shut it behind you. You will see a mountain with ascending light. You glimpse your life ahead. It’s important to have good shoes for the journey.

CAPRICORN During this retrograde time, be very aware of new insights, revelations and new understandings appearing quietly and subtly at the most unexpected time. All previous experiences, especially sadness, coalesce into new states of knowledge. An old friend makes contact; strange twists and turns of relationships begin to ease.

Defeat becomes triumph.

Speak your mind with truth at all times. Allow others to adapt to you. Frustration turns to opportunity. The voice of the artist calls to you.

PISCES Up till now you’ve had a firm grasp of what you want in your future. This will change in the coming months. You will accept where you are and the situations and environments you are in. An old dilemma becomes a great Truth.

A philosophy is differently interpreted and you cherish it like a golden apple, a golden coin. Old friends drop away seeking a different path. Your work expands. You build within the crystal square.

to Fauci and denied taking him out of context.

“These are Dr. Fauci’s own words. The video is from a nationally broadcast television interview in which Dr. Fauci was praising the Trump Administration’s work. The words spoken are accurate, and directly from Dr. Fauci’s mouth,” Tim Murtaugh, the campaign’s communications director, said in a statement.

Trump later weighed in on the controversy himself, tweeting “they are indeed Dr.Fauci’s own words,” and arguing that “according to certain governors,” his administration has done “a phenomenal job” in handling the pandemic.

Her Catholic faith and refusal to completely rule out overturning Roe vs. Wade - the 1973 ruling that enshrined abortion as a constitutional right - has incensed Democrats, mainly as she would be replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal and lifetime supporter of abortion rights.

Despite the ideological differences, Democratic www.desertstarweekly.com

opposition to her nomination has centered around the fact that President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House may be cut short in less than three weeks. Party officials from top to bottom have demanded that Ginsburg’s seat be filled only after the upcoming election, so that “the American people have a right to have a say in who the Supreme Court nominee is,” in presidential candidate Joe Biden’s words.

The Republican Party has promised a speedy nomination. As the gavel came down and the hearing began on Monday, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s

Republican members tweeted, “Remember what they did to Brett Kavanaugh. We don’t owe the Democrats anything.”

The GOP’s tweet referenced the allegations of sexual assault that marred Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination in late 2018.

Some factoring companies may also finance your business from legal compensation. This truck accident lawyer will show you exactly how that works.

However, factoring may not be such a foolproof funding alternative. For factoring companies to buy your accounts receivables, the receivables must come from reputable companies with good credit or government clients.

COVID-19 Uncertainty Exacerbates Financial Stress

By Desert Star Staff Even before the pandemic, nearly 40% of people in the U.S. said they wouldn’t be able to cover a surprise $400 expense, and the health crisis has only made things worse.

A survey by Money Magazine and Morning Consult shows 11% of Americans report being “very stressed” about credit card debt, with nearly 30% saying their reliance on credit cards for food and self-care items has increased since the pandemic began.

Bradley Klontz, author of Psychology of Money: Financial Health Revelations for Clinicians, is a financial therapist and certified financial planner. He described COVID-19 as “a psychological earthquake” that has induced stress at unprecedented levels.

“Money is the number one source of stress in the lives of Americans, even when times are great,” Klontz explained.

Shooting suspect in Denver identified as ‘private security guard’

By Desert Star Staff A gunman who allegedly shot and killed a man amid BLM and right-wing protests in Denver has been identified as a private security guard. Police say he was not with Antifa amid speculation; the incident was politically-motivated.

The suspect in the fatal shooting of a yet to be identified victim in Denver on Saturday is a private security guard, the Denver Police Department (DPD) reported.

“Further investigation has determined the suspect is a private security guard with no affiliation with Antifa.

Additional information will be released as it becomes available,” the DPD tweeted.

9NEWS, an NBC-affiliated television station in Denver, Colorado, confirmed that the security guard was its contractor, tasked with providing security for a reporter at the scene.

“9NEWS hired the guard to accompany a 9NEWS

employee covering an afternoon of competing protests nearby,” the channel said.

Police initially reported that two people were taken into custody in the wake of the incident, that unfolded after 3:00 pm in Denver, as the tensions were flying high between participants of a right-wing rally called ‘Patriot Muster’ and a dueling ‘BLMAntifa Soup Drive,’ organized by the Denver Communists.

The channel said the second person, detained but then released by police, was their producer.

9News noted that the producer is not facing any charges stemming from the incident.

“A 9NEWS producer who works in the investigative unit was not involved in the incident. The producer is no longer in police custody and is not a suspect.”

By stating that the alleged shooter was not affiliated with

Antifa, a loosely organized group of far-left activists, police apparently sought to dispel rumors that the gunman was a BLM member.

The Denver Post initially reported that the shots were

fired after an altercation between a right-wing protester and “a left-wing demonstrator” saw the former macing the latter.

The left-wing demonstrator then opened fire in response.

However, it did not take long

Keep Tahoe Bears Wild!

By Desert Star Staff Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev. – Autumn has arrived in the Sierra Nevada — leaves are turning, and there is a noticeable chill in the air. The fall season also means bears are actively searching for food before winter arrives, and it’s more important than ever to practice proper food and garbage storage to Keep Tahoe Bears Wild.

In the fall, bears experience hyperphagia (pronounced hai·pr·fei·jee·uh), which is an increase in feeding activity driven by their need to fatten up before

winter. This increase in feeding activity involves searching far and wide for food and eating and drinking nonstop to obtain the 25,000 daily calories per day bears need to survive hibernation. Due to last winter’s low snowpack combined with a very dry summer, fewer natural food sources are available to bears in higher elevations and thus more chances for humanbear interactions as bears seek out human food sources.

“2020 has been a challenging year for bears in the Tahoe Basin and

surrounding states due to a lack of natural food sources bears usually rely on during hyperphagia,” said Mike Scott, Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Game Division Administrator. This division oversees bear management in Nevada. “NDOW has been inundated with bear calls including sightings, bear encounters, and vehicle and home break-ins. Agencies in the Tahoe Basin are continually working together to educate residents and visitors on how to reduce bear attractants and

prevent bear encounters.”

Intentional or unintentional feeding of bears results in unwanted bear behaviors, increased human-bear conflicts, public safety issues, and fines and possible jail time for violators. Each year, local law enforcement and state wildlife officers respond to hundreds of calls in which bears may pose a public safety threat or are damaging property, and in some cases, bears must be euthanized.

Once bears gain access to human food or garbage, they continue to seek it out.

They become less cautious of people and may display unusually bold behavior when trying to get to human or pet food. Bears that have become indifferent or habituated to people’s presence may cause property damage and threaten public safety. Residents and visitors can help keep bears wild and reduce potential conflicts between bears and humans by acting responsibly in bear country, properly storing food and garbage in bear-resistant containers, and following the safety measures below.

Never feed wildlife. This encourages unnatural and harmful foraging behavior.

Store all garbage in and properly close bearresistant garbage containers, preferably bear boxes.

Visit www.ndow.org/ Nevada_Wildlife/Bear_Logic/ for more information.

If a bear enters your home when you are present, keep out of its way and not block escape routes.

Hike in groups and keep an eye on small children.

Keep dogs on leash. Offleash dogs can provoke bears to respond defensively.

Watch for signs of bears, such as bear scat along trails or claw marks on trees. Stay alert. Make noise while on trails so that bears know you are there and can avoid you.

Never approach bears or cubs. Always keep a safe social distance and never get between a sow and her cubs.

To report human-bear conflicts in California, contact the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Northern California dispatch at 916-445-0380. Non-emergency wildlife interactions in California State Parks can be reported to their public dispatch at (916) 358-1300. Wildlife incidents in California may also be reported online using the CDFW Wildlife Incident Reporting (WIR) system at apps.wildlife.ca.gov/wir. To report human-bear conflicts in Nevada, contact Nevada Department of Wildlife at 775688-BEAR (2327). If the issue is an immediate threat, call the local sheriff’s department or 911.

Larry Elder to be 1 of 2 Featured Speakers at This Mama’s House Major Fundraiser

By Desert Star Staff Palm Desert, CA - Mama’s House, the only residential home within the Coachella Valley providing shelter for women in crisis pregnancies, has announced plans for the organization’s Eighth Annual HEARTbeat of Love Luncheon.

This highly-anticipated event will take place on Saturday, February 6, 2021, at Indian Wells Renaissance Resort and Spa, located at 44400 Indian Wells Lane, in Indian Wells, California. The event will commence at 11:00 a.m. and will conclude at 1:30 p.m.

“This year we are doing it again with 2 speakers!” stated Jan Lupia, Founder and Executive Director of Mama’s House. “I am pleased to announce that Larry Elder will be one of the two speakers who will be with us in February. . . Second speaker announcement coming in November. Again, we are expecting a dynamic turnout.”

Known as a “firebrand libertarian” according to DAILY VARIETY, Larry is also an Attorney, best-selling Author, Radio and TV Talk Show Host, and Executive Producer of the highly-acclaimed documentary “Uncle Tom,” and the movie “Michael and Me.” With his signature take-no-prisoners www.desertstarweekly.com

style, using old-fashioned things like evidence and logic, Elder shines the bright light of reasoned analysis on many myths and hypocrisies apparent in our government, society, and media with facts, common sense, and a ready wit.

The recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Elder has hosted the longestrunning afternoon drive-time Radio Show in Los Angeles since March 1994. In 2016, “The Larry Elder Show” was nationally syndicated for Salem Radio Networks, where he still sizzles on the airwaves! His limited government/personal responsibility views have made him one of the most indemand radio personalities and cable news pundits in the country - seen often on Fox News with Sean Hannity.

President Donald Trump just announced Larry Elder has been appointed a member of the Commission on the Social Status of Black men and boys. This Commission was signed into law by President Trump on August 14, 2020, and was established to study and make recommendations to the President addressing conditions affecting Black men and boys.

“That so many children, particularly black children, are raised without fathers in the

home, is our nation’s most pressing domestic problem,” states Elder. “President Barack Obama said that a child raised without a father in the home is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in jail. We need to ask ourselves if we are incentivizing women to marry the government, and if we are incentivizing men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility,” he continued.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet and enjoy the humor and brilliant logic of Larry Elder, also known as the “Sage of South Central.”

On Friday evening, February 5, 2021, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., at a private location within the Coachella Valley, Mama’s House will host an exclusive VIP Reception and Dinner for major donors with the speakers.

Sponsorships are immediately available, and all include admission to the VIP Reception on Friday, February 5, 2021, with a limited number including the VIP Dinner with the speakers. Sponsorships range from $750 all the way up to $60,000 for a Premier Sponsorship. Individual Luncheon tickets are priced at $125 and go on sale beginning October 14, 2020

November 2, 2020. For Sponsorship information, please contact Jan Lupia directly at 760-406-3413 or 844-2328622 ext. 1, or email her at janlupia@themamashouse.org ABOUT MAMA’S HOUSE On July 27, 2013, Mama’s House opened its doors to its first resident Mom. Mama’s House offers a safe, supportive, loving, and nurturing residential environment for women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy with no place to live and no means of support. Today, there are so many good things happening at Mama’s House, as this nonprofit celebrates its Seventh Anniversary. Over these years, Mama’s House has welcomed more than 250 residents and their babies. At Hope Center, the educational and counseling extension of

Mama’s House, the organization offers additional services to the residents, their baby’s fathers, and often their families, while also providing many of these same services to the community-at-large. These services include, but are not limited to parenting, job and life skills, domestic violence and anger management classes, support groups for those wounded by abuse, addiction, abortion, and more. Hope Center has partnered with the Coachella Valley Adult School to offer High School Diploma and GED programs. We have recently obtained a property where we will be expanding our services in the future.

The nimble “Trick To Happy” is a breezy and confessional ride where the artist wonders if there is “Is there a trick to being happy” as he admits “life is moving past me.” The beautiful acoustic ballad “Half Your Love” showcases his expressive baritone vocals while simultaneously examining how to mine the deepest reaches of romantic bliss.

‘Go Zero’ for Sustainable Building Week

The technology already exists to make Oregon homes completely sustainable, but not everyone knows how to get it. (Theresa Hogue/Oregon State University)

DesertSTAR

Information: TravisOnline.com.

Next week, Oregonians will get a peek into the

greener future of homes.

Monday is the start of October 14, 2020

the third annual Sustainable Building Week, kicking off a series of events happening virtually this year.

It includes a virtual “Go Zero” tour of Oregon homes that produce as much energy as they consume.

Zach Snyder, program manager for Solar Oregon, said residential buildings consume one-quarter of all the energy used in Oregon.

“What’s so great is that the technology for ‘zeroenergy’ homes, which could reduce the huge amount of energy that we consume in residential buildings, is already here,” Snyder explained.

He noted solar energy plays an important role in sustainability, as well as energy-efficiency measures.

Sustainable Building Week actually features two weeks of

events highlighting technology that can help homeowners and renters reduce their home’s carbon footprint.

The growing effects from climate change are driving conversations about zero-energy homes.

Snyder said that’s especially true in Oregon after the wildfire-ravaged summer.

“I know that climate is at the forefront more and more of the public mind,” Snyder observed. “And the fires definitely have created a sense of urgency because they were particularly devastating this year.”

Snyder added the green economy also is creating jobs. According to the Solar Foundation, there were more than 3,700 solar jobs in Oregon in 2019, growing more than 2.5% from the previous year. www.desertstarweekly.com

“He conducted some measurements and told us it was the highest indoor measurements that he’d ever recorded,” Davidson claimed.

“So, we ended up installing some shielding in the home, moving the kids into a back room. And within a few days, their symptoms went away.”

Verizon’s website quotes the Federal Communications Commission’s guidance that there’s no scientific evidence linking radiation from cell phones to health problems in humans. And 5G boxes do meet all legal standards.

Diversion of $3.6 Billion to Build Wall at the Border Unlawful

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra secured a favorable decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a multistate lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s illegal diversion of 3.6 billion dollars to build an unauthorized wall on the border. In December, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted portions of California’s partial motion for summary judgment in the case, declaring that the diversion of funds was unlawful.

The District Court also granted the Sierra Club’s motion for a preliminary injunction but stayed its own decision. The ruling addresses the District Court’s final judgment in favor of California and eight other states and lifts the District Court’s stay.

“We applaud the Court for putting a stop to this desperate attempt by President Trump to steal public funds to build his unauthorized wall at the www.desertstarweekly.com

border,” said Attorney General Becerra. “This victory shows it doesn’t pay to circumvent the law. Congress repeatedly refused to fund the President’s Wall, and we fought back against his illegal money grab because your public funds should not be spent on Trump’s pet project.”

On October 12, 2019, Attorney General Becerra, leading a multistate coalition, filed a motion for partial summary judgment to block the Trump Administration from unilaterally and unlawfully diverting $3.6 billion from over 120 military construction projects to build an unauthorized wall on the border. On December 11, 2019, the Northern District Court of California granted part of the motion. The District Court granted an injunction to the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition in a related case but stayed the permanent

injunction pending appeal.

Attorney General Becerra has led the charge to stand up to President Trump’s unlawful attempts to divert funding toward constructing a wall.

On June 26, 2020, Attorney General Becerra secured a favorable decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, affirming that the Trump Administration’s diversion of $2.5 billion from counter-drug funds to build an unauthorized wall at the border was unlawful.

In a separate lawsuit, Attorney General Becerra challenged the Trump Administration’s diversion of more than $3.8 billion in funds that Congress appropriated to the Department of Defense. More than 20 percent, $890 million, of those funds had been allocated to National Guard units across the country to purchase equipment critical to responding to natural disasters and other emergencies. Litigation, in that case, is ongoing.
