July was a success – phew! Now on to August.
First and second week, I’ll be in the left coast – Region-9 baby!
Third week will be in Columbus, Ohio (CBus!) for a few Emergency Management classes. A little love for the home state.
Fourth week I’ll head down to Oklahoma to teach with their state health department on some social media in Region-6 baby!
Fifth week, I’ll get a chance to present at the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Conference.
It’s a 9-5-6 squared kinda month.
Just trying to keep up with the pros…
Lots of BSery going on.
@TKDMike pushed this image out on 07-16-16 at 1902 EST trying to portray that Cleveland is burning dumpsters tonight for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Orig tweet w/ image found here
That image looked weird to me.
So let’s look a little closer shall we?
A simple online search found this exact image used multiple times.
Once as a meme for protesters in the UK
Made into a UK Meme
Yep. That’s weird.
Then the same image, slightly better quality found on imgur from 10 months ago.
From imgur
Again, double weird.
Then I found the original.

Game-7 from the Stanley Cup in 2011. Appropriate photo credit to Brian Neumann.
In the initial @tkdmike post from 07-16-16, he has embellished the image and added the Quicken Loans Arena logo and an RNC2016 logo to the dumpster. Additionally, behind the gal on the right is also a photoshopped sign for Trump2016. **Clearly against the orig photo by Brian CA Neumann on 06-16-2011 on Flickr. The sign should not read “Trump 2016”, it should read “Sunrise Kitchens” – also note the hockey jersey.
Doctoring images to push political agenda or incite fear = not cool.
Canada image from 2011 –> fake it to be a Cleveland image in 2016 = not cool.
It’s going to be a long NSSE.

Sharing a little history I learned this morning.
In 1924, the Republicans nominated then President Calvin Coolidge.
Then in 1936, the Republicans nominated Alf Landon to run against Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So third time RNC should be a breeze in hosting a large event like this one right?
RNC in t-minus five days…
Looks like I’m deploying out for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on July 11th.
You know me, I’m just proud to represent!
July is here. OMG. It’s crunch time!
First week I’ll be in Cleveland for a few planning meetings and off to Chicago for my favorite ER MD’s retirement party.
Second week I’ll be deployed with DHS/FEMA for External Affairs.
Third week is the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland where I’ll be supporting our all-hazards public safety professionals.
Fourth week I’ll head down to Missouri to teach some social media in Region-7 baby! Indeed no rest for the weary.
With the RNC in Cleveland, July will be an incredibly challenging month for all public safety peeps.
Bright and early, we kicked off the second day of the 2016 ASFPM Conference here!
On scene and snazzy!
Class looks ready – because there is FREE coffee provided!!!!!
Everyone calm down!
Of course, I’m already – thumbs up for social media!
#BringIt
Also having a solid co-instructor is +1!
And what social media class doesn’t include a few redic and hilarious Snaps?!?!?!?
Snapping…cause all the cool kids are doing it.
Tearing up the internets (heh) and leaving no cookies behind! (<—geek jokes)
My team?
#NDPTC in the hizzouse!
