When you are otricized simply for speaking up

​I question publishing this article however I must write on the vibe presently floating across America. When ridiculed or isolated simply for being true and real especially verbally is wrong social treatment . With holding information from youth thinking they will find out on their own or do as their older brother did. Goes out the window in light of intelligence and love. I’m a desk admin worker … that’s it. Beyond conspiracy theories; high level discrimination and cover ups are at play in America.  The City I reside in was and still is a shiny beacon of diversity, business potential, education & training of the finest leaders. I only know of and seek to be aligned with the light side of this region. How the other side or ‘opposition’ feels offended by the insistence of happiness, independently successful and free minded persons. There is no compromising regarding education, freedom, truth, nonviolence, faith and family connection and the value of having such rather back in the day or right here right now - A.

Support Democracy before Dictatorships !

​If you mean in the United States, are ordinary citizens being punished or persecuted simply because they refuse to support a particular political party or political leader? — there are documented cases of political discrimination and retaliation, but I would be careful about saying that citizens generally are being persecuted for being nonpartisan.

There are several important developments right now:

• Political affiliation is legally protected in significant areas of government employment. Federal law prohibits discrimination against federal employees or applicants based on political affiliation. 
• A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration’s “loyalty” question for federal job applicants, finding that the practice potentially violated civil-service and First Amendment protections and improperly injected political considerations into merit-based hiring. 
• There is also a documented case in which FEMA employees skipped homes displaying Trump-supporting signs during disaster relief after Hurricane Milton. A DHS inspector general investigation found that the employees violated law and agency policy, and they were fired. 
• At the same time, there are current allegations of politically motivated pressure against organizations and media outlets that criticize the administration. For example, ABC/Disney is alleging that FCC actions were retaliatory because of its political coverage; that remains a legal dispute rather than an established finding of wrongdoing. 

The important distinction

There’s a big difference between:

“You disagree with me politically, so I’m going to punish you.”
→ potentially unlawful political retaliation/discrimination.

and

“You are required, as a government employee, to carry out lawful policies of the elected administration.”
→ generally a legitimate requirement of public service, even if you personally disagree with those policies.

And there’s another category that I think may be closer to what you’re asking about:

“I’m not a Democrat or Republican loyalist. I support the Constitution, the law, and the public—and I don’t want to pledge personal allegiance to a political leader.”

That position is not inherently disloyal or unlawful. In fact, the principle of a nonpartisan civil service exists precisely so government employees serve the public rather than a political party.

So if you’re asking because you’re seeing a trend where people are being pressured to demonstrate political loyalty rather than simply perform their civic or government duties, there is evidence of that concern right now—particularly in federal employment. The recent federal court decision concerning the loyalty question is especially significant. 

If you tell me what situation or group of citizens you’re thinking about, I can look specifically at whether they’re actually being persecuted, politically discriminated against, or simply experiencing ordinary political disagreement.

Let it be.

​Pray on it and leave it there…. Another way to say it is Turn it over to God. This might be contradictory to providing support to a loved one or being there no matter the situation. This intention is honorable based out of love and family. At this point personally I’m not ready to show from a distance but to remain present, available and reachable. Peace, love and unity.

Health & Happiness & Faith First

 The phrase "cleanliness is next to godliness" is a popular proverb meaning physical tidiness and purity are closely tied to moral goodness. However, it is not found anywhere in the Bible. The saying was popularized in a 1791 sermon by John Wesley, though similar ancient ideas existed earlier.

 Good news for those of you who follow my personal work with improving health wise. The decision to pursue adult braces well let’s say is neither cheap nor painless. After emailing my orthodontist they got me the next day fixed up the issue. The question the excellent dental hygienist aske was did I bite down on something lol. My response was that I am eating regularly lol. What surprised me the hygienist has been working ta this site since I began treatment. I could feel his love, passion, professionally all together. He could direct that business in my opinion. Blessings to this brother. Let your lights shine folks!!!!

Updated Changes to AHIMA’s 2026 Query Guidelines

 "AHIMA, in collaboration with ACDIS, has released the 2026 update to the Guidelines for Achieving a Compliant Query Practice, which supersedes the 2022 version ACDIS. The update introduces several substantive changes aimed at improving compliance, clarifying intent, and addressing emerging challenges like AI-generated queries.

Major changes include:

• Definition of noncompliant multiple queries – The brief now explicitly defines when multiple queries are considered noncompliant, helping organizations avoid unnecessary or redundant queries ACDIS.

• Role of prior encounters – Prior encounter documentation can support a query if clinically relevant to the current encounter, but it cannot be the sole basis for a query. Sufficient supporting information must be present in the current encounter Norwood Staffing.

• Technology-generated queries – Compliance frameworks now address technology-generated queries (e.g., AI, CAC tools). These are now considered a compliance risk, and organizations must ensure they meet the same standards as manually created queries YouTube.

• Clinical indicators – Clinical indicators (e.g., MEAT) are not used as a basis for code support. They are implicit in the requirement that queries be clinically relevant, but they cannot be the sole justification Norwood Staffing.

• Query templates and policies – The update expands guidance on query templates, policies, and procedures, emphasizing that organizations should document review and any resulting policy updates as part of their compliance program ACDIS.

• Yes/no and “unable to determine” responses – The option of “unable to determine” is now required in POA and all yes/no queries, ensuring transparency when documentation is insufficient Norwood Staffing.

• Coding from query responses – Coding can be done from a query response alone, provided the query form is retained in the permanent medical record. If not, the provider must document the response in the medical record. A single response is sufficient, and it does not need to be repeated elsewhere Norwood Staffing.

• Scope and enforcement – The brief applies to all settings (inpatient, outpatient) and stresses that everyone engaged in the query process must follow the guidelines, including outsourced or overseas CDI contractors Norwood Staffing.

Why it matters:
These changes shift the focus from simply following a checklist to ensuring queries are clinically precise, compliant, and supported by current encounter documentation. They also address modern CDI challenges like AI and automation, which can blur compliance lines if not properly managed.

If you are in CDI, coding, compliance, or revenue cycle, reviewing and updating your query policies to align with the 2026 guidelines is essential to avoid audit findings and ensure accurate, compliant documentation."

Stay Active & Prayed Up: Chronic Kidney Disease

 Health information inquiry on chronic kidney disease and those having survived, all ages, that oppressive time of the pandemic. Stay blessed, active and healthy!

 

"Yes, but the answer is a little more complicated than it first appears.

The COVID-19 pandemic did increase the number of people who needed dialysis because COVID can cause severe kidney damage, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Some hospitalized patients required temporary dialysis, and some went on to develop permanent kidney failure requiring long-term dialysis.

However, in the United States, the total number of people on chronic dialysis actually declined during the first year of the pandemic. That happened because:

• Many dialysis patients were especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19 and died.
• Fewer people began treatment for end-stage kidney disease during the early months of the pandemic, partly because healthcare was disrupted.
• The dialysis population experienced an unprecedented decrease of about 2% in 2020.

Researchers found that:

• Dialysis patients had COVID-19 infection rates substantially higher than the general Medicare population.
• Deaths among dialysis patients increased by nearly 20% in 2020 compared with 2019.
• COVID-related kidney injury created additional demand for dialysis services in hospitals.

So if you're asking, "Did more people need dialysis because of the pandemic?" the answer is yes. If you're asking, "Did the total number of people receiving long-term dialysis increase during the early pandemic?" the answer is not immediately—it actually decreased at first because of increased mortality and disruptions in care.

If you're interested, I can also explain whether nephrologists are now seeing an increase in chronic kidney disease and dialysis needs several years after COVID infections."

Oppose a Rise of Neo Nazis in America

​This is a cause to campaign against. Not being nieve that many of this group who are American want to be heard. A history of this nation shows unity even when the union fractured. They too are our brothers , sisters and cousins. Violence is not the way forward on either side. Communication and protection might be. Peace yawl.
