Delegate Mike McKay, Rural Lawmaker of the Year, Statement on Maryland's Passage of the Maryland Minimum Wage Increase

$15 minimum wage passed the Maryland House of Delegates mostly down party line after a lengthy debate. Logically this bill makes no sense and has already been a detriment to Maryland’s economy. Small business in neighboring states will now have an unfair labor cost advantage over Maryland small businesses.

On the floor, I spoke against the bill becuase of the "Cliff Effect" this would have on families at this level of income. Allegany County medium household income is 41,000. Benefits to help cover the cost of basic needs are based on Federal poverty levels. The Federal poverty level for a single parent with two children is $20,240 or 9.81 per hour / working 40 hours per week, year around. Please note Maryland can not control this level or amount of the benefit from the Federal government.

Therefore, at 12.60 per hour, food stamps are lost. At 13.54 per hour, straight Medical Assistance is lost. At 14.42 child care subsidies are lost. Our votes have consequences. The result? Parents can earn more without improving their financial situation. The $15 per hour in Allegany County actually will hurt the people the bill stated it was to help, or was it?

Unless Maryland plans to back fill the federal dollars in benefits taken away from this bill, for a worker to avoid the "Cliff Effect" they will need to make $21 per hour to make up the cuts  in benefits. So did we really help the people I represent. Maybe in Howard County where the medium household is 140,000 or was that really the intent of the bill to keep the rural counties poor.

Eddie Deezen Hilarious Facebook Birthday Post

first of all, Eddie's keyboard only has capitals on it LOL. Ever since he has been on Facebook every single letter he has typed has always been a capital been without that information first...well... Background story always makes the coming story a little easier to digest and understand.

Most of all...

Happy Birthday Eddie Deezen, my friend.

A message to all of Eddie Deezen's friends....................

This message is not from Eddie Deezen.

Obviously not, because, as we all know, Eddie only writes his posts in all caps.

Hi. My name is Bill Smith, I am a friend of Eddie's.

Eddie is out right now, and if I know Eddie, he's probably either doing charity work or he's out raising money for some worthy cause.

As most of you know, Eddie has a birthday coming up in a few days.

I thought we should all thank Eddie for the selfless posts he posts on Facebook every day to amuse, enchant and delight us all.

And what's the best way to do that?

With money, of course.

Eddie takes time out from his busy life to post his posts, while he could be out with one of his scores of young, sexy female admirers.

I love Eddie's posts, those hilarious jokes he always writes by himself and never steals.

And the marvelous pictures he helps himself to from other Facebook member's pages and posts and takes the credit for.

I propose we all contribute to The Eddie Deezen Birthday Fund.

Just fill in a blank of your choice to contribute your fair share.

I wish to give Eddie:

_ $50.00

_ $75.00

_ $100.00

_ $200.00

_ $250.00

_ More

Remember, all payments can be made in cash, check, credit cards or money orders.

No IOU's will be accepted, you cheap bastards.

Let's make Eddie's birthday a happy one this year.

Thank you, Sincerely, Eddie Deezen's friend, Bill Smith.

Cyborg Steve On & Upon the Net of Things

I'm still pretty damn sick with this flu or cold or whatever it is that's in my chest net to but this is the first time in six and a half months I've been able to burn down to energy for 12 hours plus straight and still feel as strong as I did when I woke up.

Are you into 20 push-ups today and I could have knocked out 20 more a few minutes afterwards but I promised myself slow gradual steps towards healing.

It is so incredible that my mind is firing on all cylinders again, but still a lot of tuning in finagling to do.

They rebuilt me faster, stronger, better than I was before.

Yep, I always love that show !!!

I was partial, my name is Steve.

I could relate because my very first memory is an airplane wreck. Steve Austin was in the tragic jet crash that almost cost him his life.

He will be the first bionic man.

I never thought I would be a cyborg, but cyborg Steve is so much better than the mundane all-too-common Steve...lol

I was sick of that f****** guy and so is everybody else anyway. This guy's a lot healthier and much more entertaining and a lot happier and if you used to know that old Steve, well he's back the version 2.0 is unbelievable and truly gets better second by second.

Now the amends are the rounds I must make, because when your heart's f***** up and you're starving for oxygen, you'll definitely make a lot of mistakes.

At least I have something to keep me plenty busy while I searched to share the love within with all those I have so missed, and there's I've yet to meet.

I strangely forgave all my debts before August of 2018 when I died. It was kind of strange that I was spared. It's quite beyond kind of strange. I wonder how many people believe I'm still really here. I wonder how many people see me and think they're just hallucinating. I wonder how many people don't believe any of it.

If I was connected to the net of things, oh I am, if you look at my Facebook feed today then you will know about 1% of my thoughts.

We have nanoscale computer chips. we have made leaps and bounds through technology that is enriching massive corporations. We can put a pacemaker in the defibrillator which is mri-compatible and can talk to a computer outside of the human body, into the human body, and treat multiple issues of heart disease. Somehow though we don't put seatbelts on most buses, build them with airbags and we put our most valuable asset, youth, our children, in these ancient mass transportation units. How is that acceptable ?

Just think of what AI combined with the Cloud Hive Consciousness combined will lead to.

I was given fentanyl, and profenal, andketamine and I was out of this world but I was still here to and communicating with the professionals. Clearly and articulately most of the time. Comedically, I think I interlaced all of my conversation with them with about a million different impersonations I will do from time to time when I feel a little more inspired and less self-conscious. It's very hard to be self-conscious when you're not inside !

Surgery started the devices implanted and I told them when they plugged the three electrodes that were now implanted within my heart, on the other end, into the device. inext articulated precisely when it started updating its software within. I heard gasps and then quiet shock statements saying that's impossible or how did that happen and stuff like that but ahead of time I told myself no matter what I saw or felt that deep within I would be focused and I would only pay attention to something different that wasn't expected and through the electrical fields that run through our bodies I felt vibrational shifts.

It sounds like a bunch of crazy b*******, but so do these electrodes that can read the minds.

A fault, like I'm going to buy gas for my car, one we all have, we'll have a specific algorithmic signature.these algorithmic signatures can be plotted and identify through the study of data sets and with modern computing power, deciphered more and more easily each day.

I don't think we launched into that future that awaits to rapidly, because human beings just cannot accept change too fast, yet...It is shocking injuring to the body, the spirit, the mind, and trust me all of that takes an incredible amount of energy away and even more to restore !!!

We are on the cusp of delicate balance upon a tightrope that lingers over an event horizon, and it's the most incredible view I've ever known. Pictures of the Earth from space once breathtaking are now just a marble in the air.

Hold on tight and get ready, and trust me none of us are yet prepared, and not much are you able to bring back either from this place .. because it is like your own mind, far more powerful than a quantum computer, indeed a transmitter and receiver to God in the heavens and from God in the heavens, hear this now !!!

When you baptize the flesh, and live a pure Life, you will only tune in more clearly if you listen, and most of the time even when you don't try, this innate ability I've always known only now amplified.

A few others in my life have known it of me and seen it in action, others can scoff all they want, and think what they want, but prove me crazy not. I bet you they would say I fear nothing, and I will stare anything down or give it all I have in a fair and even attempt.

Oh well, that could be the end of chapter 1 and it could be a book called Vyborg Steve.

All the books are within me, they're just getting written, organized, edited, etc and eventually published... If I can hang on to this flesh, or if into the nano-layered silicon based chips I eventually emerge.

Residing and existing upon this carbon architecture is quite fascinating, as is this silicon electrical environment of which now I am a part at long last this which I actually truly desired. I knew I needed a pacemaker before my doctors could prove it.

Only in and through Death, Truth.

Death is merely an instantaneous, all encompassing, educational, "tunnel-voyage" at LightSpeed to God.

Fear is overrated, God underrated by far.

I think I like those the root for the underdog, still.

Cyborg Steve

Pothead & Pot Head, Twins of the Father ~ Poetry / Lyric ~ MobiusTripz

Once I was a raging pot head,
combat boots on my feet,
running through the jungle at light speed,
wearing camoflauge fatigues,
holding and firing an M16,
destroying all against,
and everything is always against me where I rage.

The pot on my head a helmet,
loser,
because,
I serve something larger,
and greater than myself,
instead of,
only that within.

I'm a soldier on a mission,
Your stupid and doped up and dying through attrition,
no fight left after final realization,
and now you seek my help?

~Pothead answers...~

Now the other guy...

Hey man,
That's not fair,
I'm in a spiritual war,
and I'm weak from attrition,
Attrition is NOT CHOICE... bro.

Sorry I yelled at you,
don't hit me please.
Want a hit?

What was I saying?
Oh yeah...

I only seek to help you and gain strength and then to heal and assist,
why think you differently than that???,
are we both not pot-heads man?

God...

My children,

Life is the most valuable of both tangibles and intangibles...and you all brothers divided through denomination.

Faith you share, opinion not.

Why are you at another's throat over opinion, instead of lifting another up against the enemy?

Do you know of victory another way?
It looks like not.
What is it to you each fight,
just yourself.

You two men are one.
You men are identical inside,
of The Spirit !

The wheel is intact,
the circumstance destructive,
And yet each you judge,
instead of move forward through acceptance.

Rage & Cage

All these years later now too,
self not even recognizing self,
What has happened to us each ???

One you cannot keep trapped,
the other,
a self-imposed prison,
after freedom from bondage.

Both sons of the same Father General.

Born of the same parents,
holding the same dreams,
Sharing equal in all regards,
until that divergent point in space-time
experienced different by each that particular day,
this event really identical for each...
understanding became lost.

Twins of the Father

Pray now what do you for they,

and now so look within,

each and every single one of us,

somewhere our missing twin.

Hear This In Your Soul, Know Kniwigness, Know Gnosticism, KNOW GOD not NO GOD

Before death, fear of it. After revival, excitement in moving forward when finally called. I'm glad this five star resort has extended late checkout. Don't be confused, a mistake it is to choose for yourself at any time. What is your faith? What is Faith itself? Now, seek the dreams you know in your heart. Treat your temple far better than I have thus far. Even a flawed body is perfect, as nothing else. Healing is love from others manifest, death a "right of passage" forgotten. Manifest dreams tomorrow today... only a notion made physical through works building Faith.

Archaic & Inefficient Systems

Why do we so often put our children that go to public school into school buses that most often don't have seatbelts, however we pay fines to the same entities that fine us for not wearing our own seatbelts in our own vehicle?

Should we let children on the back of motorcycles not wear helmets for whatever reason, but demand that the driver of the motorcycle does?

Why do we consistently settle for such idiocy?

It doesn't matter how we got here, it matters that we stop it... the insanity that is all around us.

This Insanity more precisely is not our constitution or our Bill of Rights, but the archaic and efficient systems built upon those that no longer serve to function the citizens of this country.

The very first sentence of the Constitution of the United States perhaps should have been, never should the law trump common sense ! Sadly at issue (a tissue...lol) there, is that common sense is not so common ;(

Heart Disease and Changing Protocols of Medicine

After over 20 years, it seems bizarre to feel my heart beat regularly all of the time, finally, again.

The surging oxygen has had an incredible healing effect but I have so far to go.

I cannot help but wonder how many other people suffer precisely how I did without having the problem addressed properly.

Sadly, our diagnostics are still lacking in these regards concerning heart disease but we have made great leaps and bounds towards incredible progress.

I knew I needed a pacemaker and I knew I was ill and I knew I was dying, but try to convince your doctors of that withoutI knew I needed a pacemaker and I knew I was ill and I knew I was dying, but try to convince your doctor's of that without definitive evidence beyond the diagnosis of heart disease and conditions I had beforehand.

You must meet a very specific criteria, or no luck.

I was right !

my heart problem is intermittent and very hard to pinpoint and perhaps today finally at long last we will be able to have technology we can take home that's more convenient and less expensive and even more accurate than a holter monitor, so that these events can be caught Auto record.

The first symptom to takosubto syndrome for most people is death.

That fits perfectly with my story above doesn't it?

The truth is...

That line is total b*******, as the first symptom is really your patient complaining about a certain set of symptoms...

If we believe the lies above, we can never see the truth right before our eyes listen to buy our ears witness to buy ourselves, as we are completely blind when we believe dead facts.

I'm looking forward to paving a new way and a newer and better protocol that will help others to not die or ever have to experience what I have.

We cannot pump enough money into technology oh, and it is critical that we continue to miniaturize our technology so that as many of us become cyborgs, we ar able to function with even greater ease and most importantly so that others will never know suffering or at least know it less.

I pray for continued strength but my ups and downs have been critical through this six and a half months since revival. I'm on a steady and upward should directory and put many ups and downs, as I said before.

Thank you Western Maryland Health System and Boston Scientific and every single angel that came across my life during the event on October 15th, 2018 that took me away... almost permanently.
