Your Ethics and Integrity, Your Principles — Keep Them Rock Solid

NOTE: Do not get me wrong, there are multiple companies with these BDIP & Restricted Entities requirements in place, that I discuss here, in order to cover their rear (reputation). And so, they do it. You either accept it and become part of this world or you walk away – your choice. BDIP & Restricted Entities are big deals… My ethical choice as explained below, was to resign… As such – you…

Self-portrait at 23 years old

“Self-portrait”, c.1930 by Ernst Neumann (1907-1956). Hungarian-Canadian painter. Musée d’art de Joliette, QC, Canada. oil on canvas

Since the time of Maria Theresa the Hungarian nation has waited from generation to generation for a human being in this Imperial House. Someone to trust, someone worth living for, and someone worth dying for. We didn't come to see the Emperor of Austria today, but to see our future Queen!

As Texas continues to reel from the bouts of deadly flooding it experienced last weekend, people are discussing whether meteorologists had enough resources in order to issue warnings.

Newsweek has compiled a list of every Republican lawmaker who voted in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which has faced scrutiny following the floods for its inclusion of cuts to weather forecasting and research.

A spokesperson for the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation under Chairman Ted Cruz told Newsweek: "None of the rescinded funding was obligated for any existing operations or forecasting activity."

Here is the full list of Republican Senators who voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, which includes weather service cuts, according to an official roll call from the United States Senate.

I'm going to be honest. When I began, I thought there were four nineteenth century vampire stories. Five if you count Dracula's Guest. I've made a huge mistake.
