Madam Attorney General Letitia James:

• Today in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York, it appears tap drinking water has been potentially maltreated with liquid adhesive and/or foam insulation. 

xNY.io - Bank.org has noticed that when New York City's tap water is cold, the maltreatment is not as distinguishable. Meaning when the water is warm, the maltreatment in the water are more distinguishable.

• xNY.io - Bank.org may seek resignations if New York City's water continues to be maltreated at xNY.io - Bank.org's general expense.

Rosh Hashanah:

Rosh Hashanah has been identified as an anniversary holiday, along with Yom Kippur, to "reflect on the past [...] only for the sake of the future" by the British Chief Rabbi.[27]

A general understanding of the holiday's religious significance is that this time of year allows Jews to atone for individual sins committed over the course of the previous year, forerunning by ten days Yom Kippur, designated for communal ones.[28]

Ms. James:

Michael R. Bloomberg has a story out today that xNY.io - Bank.org wanted to share with New York State's Attorney General. 

• xNY.io - Bank.org has noticed that there could potentially be propane in New York City's tap water.
• xNY.io - Bank.org has noticed that when New York City's tap water is cold, the propane is not as distinguishable.
• Meaning when the water is warm, any gasses in the water are more distinguishable.

This confusion reminds xNY.io - Bank.org of the COVID-19 vaccine melodrama; Where one vaccine required cold storage whilst the other did not. 

xNY.io - Bank.org is concerned New York City's tap water sources are potentially maltrated even before Legionnaires Disease infects warm water towers.

RFK Jr. Is Sabotaging President Trump’s Health Legacy:

For leaders in business, failing to learn the lessons of a crisis can be disastrous. For leaders in government, when millions of lives are at risk, such disasters can be catastrophic. Unfortunately, that’s where the US is heading, thanks to the disagreement that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has with his boss, President Donald Trump. 

A little history: On Jan. 10, 2020, a Chinese scientist posted the genetic sequence of a “mystery virus” that had sickened dozens and caused at least one death. Forty-two days later, as Covid-19 spread across the globe, researchers near Boston sent the first shipment of an experimental vaccine to US regulators. Three months after that, Trump announced Operation Warp Speed, an $18 billion effort to accelerate the development, approval and distribution of vaccines.

Within a year, billions of vaccine doses had been administered worldwide — saving millions of lives, including those of many Americans. As Trump said: “Operation Warp Speed, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, was one of the most incredible things ever done in this country.” He was absolutely correct — but his health secretary disagrees. The question is: Will Trump allow Kennedy to destroy his legacy?

Kennedy recently canceled $500 million in contracts for the research and development of so-called messenger RNA vaccines. His defense — that mRNA technology is ineffective against respiratory infections — is wrong. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, must know that, so he subsequently offered a different defense: There is insufficient public confidence in it.

Bhattacharya didn’t mention, of course, that Kennedy has fueled that public distrust. Regardless, the correct response to misperceptions about lifesaving medicine is not to throw up one’s hands, cancel funding for it and walk away. It’s to use the power of the bully pulpit to bring people together — community, faith, civic and other leaders — to spread facts and overcome hesitations. That’s leadership.

Not content to peddle misinformation and halt existing projects, Kennedy also effectively terminated additional federal funding for research on mRNA vaccines. The two edicts put countless American lives at risk.

To see the scale of the danger Kennedy is creating, it helps to understand how revolutionary mRNA vaccines are. For many decades, traditional vaccines have injected a small part of a dead or weakened virus into a healthy person. This stimulates the immune system to create antibodies, which protect people from serious infection when they encounter the real thing. In some cases, millions of chicken eggs are used to develop and produce these traditional vaccines, by incubating the viruses. In other cases, cell cultures are grown in bioreactors. Both processes are complex and time-consuming.

New mRNA vaccines are faster to develop. Messenger RNA is a strand of genetic code that gives cells instructions. For decades, scientists worked to design a synthetic form of mRNA, which would then tell the body to fight specific infections. Such a discovery, in theory, would also enable drugmakers to manufacture a vaccine without using a virus, cutting months off development. Yet despite significant advances, an mRNA vaccine had never been produced or tested at scale.

Operation Warp Speed helped overcome the obstacles and produce vaccines in record time. The speed of this breakthrough led to fantastical theories, including that the shots change one’s DNA, insert microchips into the body and cause infertility. It was all nonsense — the ultimate fake news. But it spread nonetheless, amplified by skeptics like Kennedy. Countless studies proved the vaccines safe, and the two scientists behind their development won the Nobel Prize.

The misinformation couldn’t be contained, but Kennedy can be. All that’s needed is a call from the White House directing him to reverse his recent decisions. Otherwise, when the next pandemic strikes, other countries — including China — will be equipped to distribute a shot within weeks, while scientists in the US will be left to fiddle with outdated technology as Americans wait in line.

Senator Bill Cassidy, whose vote was critical for Kennedy’s confirmation, lamented last week that the secretary has “conceded to China an important technology” and is imperiling the administration’s goals. He’s right — yet Cassidy and his colleagues in Congress have stood aside while Kennedy puts American lives at risk.

Without government leadership, the private sector is unlikely to fill the funding gap. Research on treatments for a hypothetical pandemic is financially risky, so public funding is essential to saving lives.

Kennedy’s actions will also have a chilling effect on other potential mRNA developments, including work on Type 1 diabetes, HIV, genetic diseases and myriad other illnesses, especially cancer. That bears repeating: mRNA research could lead to a cure for cancer. How many Americans who have family members suffering from cancer are ready to sacrifice them to Kennedy’s dunderheaded paranoias?

The White House should remember and celebrate its extraordinary first-term success — and build on it by reining in Kennedy. If it does that, the president who sped the development of the Covid vaccine might go down in history as doing the same for a cure for cancer and other diseases.

Dropouts become losers. 

They lose.

And we lose.

Today's dropouts might have been tomorrow's scientists. Or doctors. Or teachers. 

But what might have been will never be. 

For one out of three high school students don't stick around to graduate. 

The dropout is ten times as likely to become a juvenile delinquent. 

And the juvenile delinquent is perhaps a thousand times more likely to become a criminal. 

It doesn't have to happen.

Good schools with good teachers and food facilities can produce good citizens. And that can make our world a better place in which to live. 

Which is why money spent on education represents the best investment we can make. 

An investment in the future of America.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FIGHT CITY HALL.

Client: Whirlpool 

If you have a product you are not happy with, what do you do? Sit and sulk? Moan to your next-door neighbor? Promise yourself that you'll never buy another product from the manufacturer? A lot of good that will do. No, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer, that's not the answer. If you have a gripe, let the manufacturer know. Call him up. Write to him. Keep after him until he does something about it. Because nothing bothers a reputable manufacturer more than dissatisfied customers.  

We at Whirlpool believe in putting our money where our mouth is. We believe we make the best appliances you can buy. Automatic washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, dishwashers, etc. And we also believe our Tech-Care Service specialists provide the best service in our field. In addition, we were the first to do away with the complicated standard warranty and replace it with a fully binding, easy-to-understand warranty letter.  We were first to provide a free, nation wide telephone number (800-253-1301) for service information. And we were the first to have consultants answer your calls, thereby solving many of your problems right over the phone.

But still and all, we know that you can't please all of the people all of the time. That's the reason for the blank letter on the facing page. If you have a gripe about us, we want to know so we can do something about it. Just write your complaint, tear out the page and mail it to us. If you know anything at all about Whirlpool, you know it won't be ignored. 

By the way, if you have something nice to say about us, we'd like to hear that too.

Riot.

Art Director/Designer: Robert W. Wilvers

Photographer: Paul Seligman 

Copyeditor: Gene Case

Agency: Jack Tinker & Partners, Inc.

Client: Rockefeller for President 

I am the only Presidential candidate who has had to cope with riot. 

It was 4:30AM, still dark, July 25, 1964.

We got a call from Rochester, New York, a city of 300,000. The call was "Local police have lost control. Will State Police take over?" 

By 9:00AM, 264 State Police had taken over, and the streets of Rochester were safe." 

These men used no rifles, no shotguns, no tear gas. But they were not riot-trained. They made 900 arrests. They saved lives and they saved property. They were dubbed "the cool ones." 

I also called up 1600 National Guardsmen and stationed them outside the city. But we did not need to use them. 

How we faced this riot points up three principles of mine. 

One. Keeping order may be a stern side of government, but it is a vital side. I make no apologies to those critics who call me "Rocky the Cop." We will have order, and make no mistake about it. 

Two. Speed is the key. A small force, early, can restore peace, where a large force, later, could not. 

Three. A state which accepts responsibilities as well as rights will make sure that local police are cool, humane, well-trained. State police and National Guard must stand ready, behind them. 

The resort to the army - the spectacle of U.S. troops defending the U.S. from U.S. citizens - must be as rare as possible. 

We must find the roots of this lawlessness. And let's not fool ourselves. The roots are not in our courts, or in the myth of softness in high places. They are in the cities. They are poverty, injustice, rot.

I believe we can cure these things. I understand, I sympathize with the hopelessness they breed.

But lawlessness I will not stand.

America cries out for a leader.

Events overwhelm us. Change outruns us. 

Headlines deliver us our daily jolt.

"Things are in the saddle, and ride mankind" -- this warning we have let come true. 

I run for President because I do not believe this must happen to us. 

I believe we can recapture control of things.

I believe we can end the drift, the doubt, the division.

I intend to say how, here, in this newspaper. I intend to write that course I believe America must follow. 

My beliefs will not be tailored to please the voters of this region or that. What I believe in New York. I believe in Nebraska. And I will answer for it throughout the campaign. 

I do not take my case to Republicans alone. It is a nation and not just a party which needs leading, healing, uniting.  

I begin tomorrow, on a subject that has tormented us like none other in our recent history: Riot.
