The Kentucky and West Virginia Floods of 2025

On February 15th, 2025, just a day after Valentine’s Day, the Commonwealth of Kentucky and West Virginia were devastated by floods that almost broke the record for the great floods in 1977 for the Commonwealth of Kentucky and West Virginia. The Commonwealth of Kentucky and West Virginia weren’t the only two states devastated by the floods on February 15th, 2025. Tennessee was hit, too, but not as badly as the Commonwealth of Kentucky and West Virginia. On February 15th, 2025, two counties devastated by the flooding were Pike County, Kentucky, and Mingo County, West Virginia. These two counties are located in the eastern part of Kentucky (the largest county of Kentucky) and southwestern West Virginia. These two neighboring counties are on the border between Kentucky and West Virginia. The cities/towns in these two neighboring counties in two different states that were devastated by the flooding on February 15th, 2025, are Pikeville, Coal Run, Hardy, Blackberry, Sidney, Dix Fork, Stone, Belfry, South Williamson, Turkey Creek, and others for Pike County, Ky, and Williamson, West end Williamson, East end Williamson, Delbarton, Matewan, Red Jacket, Gilbert, Logan, and others. I am sure many of you are familiar with them because they are very popular and known for the Hatfield-McCoy family feud and now the best places for ATV/Side by Side/Dirt Bike riders where…

President Donald J. Trump Removed Accessibility

Not too long ago, President Donald J. Trump removed the accessibility from the white house’s website, which President Donald J. Trump’s administration manages. Doing this caused many Deaf people and as well disabled people, such as people who are blind, to feel oppressed by their own President, which in this case is President Donald J. Trump. Not only has President Trump removed the accessibility from his white house’s website, but there is something big amiss that many of us have noticed, especially those who are in the Deaf community and that is not getting any information of any kind from President Trump or his press secretary with American Sign Language interpreter which is unacceptable. When it comes to Donald Trump, this didn’t happen the first time because it happened during his first term as the United States President until we, along with the National Association of the Deaf, filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s administration for not providing us Deaf people the accessibility to any information that President Trump, his team, his press, and his administration delivers. This is a repeat, as it’s happening in his second term. Any time that President Trump’s administration shares information of any kind, they mustn’t be only accessible to hearing people with audio but also that they are accessible to Deaf people with American…

A Public Letter for Charlie Kirk and others about sign language on TV

I want to take the time to publish a public letter to address what Charlie Kirk said on his show, The Charlie Kirk Show, on Real America’s Voice channel. He said that having American Sign Language interpreters on television is a distraction, which has caused many Republicans and Trump supporters to be negative about it. Before I start, I will share a video and a screenshot of an example of what Charlie Kirk caused a ramification. Everyone is entitled to their opinions; however, sometimes there are right and wrong opinions. Unfortunately, Charlie Kirk’s opinion is very wrong, while at the same time giving the Republicans, Trump supporters, and others the ammo to be offensive about it, which is oppressive. I have shown an example in the screenshot that I posted above of someone like Christopher F. Rufo, Miranda Devine, Tony Martin, and others speaking negatively about a real language (read about American Sign Language is a real language) that the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community use as their primary/native language, which is American Sign Language. In Charlie Kirk’s Show, he said that having sign language interpreters on the television is a distraction. That closed caption is good enough. Not many Deaf people have the opportunity to learn English like Charlie Kirk speaks in his show, a language that does…

To The Victims Of Los Angeles, California Wildfires

My heart and thoughts go out to the victims of the wildfires in Los Angeles, California. Many of the victims lose their homes, some of them homes that they grew up living in and continued to live in. This is not the time nor a place to be political about it. These people are suffering, and we have a few politicians who sneer at them just because California isn’t a Republican state. That should not matter; they are human beings affected by it. Both parties should be united for once and help these people affected by California’s wildfires. It’s not only a saddening thing to see that these people in California’s wildfires suffer while politicians like President-elect Donald Trump make silly remarks and spew nonsense words instead of listening to what they need help with and then taking action. For instance, President Joe Biden did that for Texas when a hurricane hit Texas severely. President Biden quickly declared an emergency for that state and sent FEMA down there right away instead of spewing the silly words that President-elect Donald Trump is saying. Donald Trump will be the President of the United States of America whether we like it or not. Still, he needs to be America’s president rather than being a President to only a certain group or for himself.…

Happy Holidays 2024 From JoshiesWorld!

Joshie here at JoshiesWorld, I wish you Merry Christmas today and Happy New Year in a few days – Happy Holiday 2024! I hope that every one of you has a great Christmas; spending time with your family and friends is something that gets rarer as we get older, so all of you who are at a young age, please take the time to spend with your family. Have a great feast; it’s a great excuse for pigging out, especially if you are on a diet! I am somewhat restricted when it comes to diet. Still, on holiday days, I put my diet striction aside and pig out because how can it not be any better than having a big feast with your family at your family’s dinner table or in your living room while laughing! Cherish those memories, treasure them, and have a great time! I hope you get the presents you want or ask for, but they are not more important than spending time with your family because being able to do so is the greatest present itself! If you are legal, enjoy some drinks, but please be safe, especially if you are not driving! The same goes for New Year’s Eve because some of you like to party hard on New Year! If you are not legal,…

Fear of Wheelchair Flying

As some of you may already know, I am not only Deaf, but I also have another disability, and that is I am in a wheelchair, so I am a wheelchair user, which I have been since between an age of 8 and 10, which is over two decades ago. I have written some articles somewhere on here that I mentioned my reason for being a wheelchair user, so some of you might know. Still, for those that don’t know, I wasn’t in a wheelchair after I was born since I mentioned I became a wheelchair user when I was 8 to 10 years old, but how that happened was that at the age of seven, I broke my femur in half on my right leg which is my strongest leg. I have a few friends who assumed that I am in a wheelchair because I am paralyzed from the waist down, but I am not paralyzed at all, and I can still feel both of my legs; I still can move my legs and whatnot, but after I get out of the hospital which I have spent for about a month I was in physical therapy to get myself back to walk again as I used to until that incident. For some reason, in physical therapy, everything was focused…

MultiTopics 9-30-2024

I hope that every one of you is doing well! I have not written an article in a long while, especially with more than a topic. I went through two holidays, I believe, which were Christmas and New Year. Many things have been happening around here that I could barely find any time to write an article or a review, especially amid these holidays and having to go to a few appointments or meetings – quite a lot in a short time! But here I am writing a new article for once. However, this article will take some time to complete and publish. When I write an article with more than one topic, I always take the time because I write for each topic at a time. Hopefully, some topics might be interesting for you to read, and as well, having something that you can read for a while or only read a topic, then take a break and come back to read another topic! As some of you know, I have called two different titles for an article like this, one with more than one topic, such as tidbits, and then I renamed it to snippets. After getting feedback from some people suggesting that it should have a better title than snippets and that the title should make more…

Deaf Content Creators List

Here is a list of the Deaf/hard-of-hearing content creators. Because there is no list of Deaf/hard-of-hearing content creators I know of, I decided to make one using JoshiesWorld. JoshiesWorld’s website receives several thousand viewers daily, so these Deaf/hard-of-hearing content creators can get more recognition. This list does not have everyone, so it will be updated occasionally when I discover more of them. If you are a Deaf/hard-of-hearing content creator but didn’t see you are on the list below, please let me know so I can add you! If you aren’t a Deaf/HOH content creator but know someone who is, please let me know by leaving a comment below or contacting me via email. If you are on the list but want to be removed from the list or would like to update or add a website or a link to your social media list (a page on your website that has a list of your social media, an example like mine here), please let me know, and I will do so. I need your website address (personal, blog, online diary, a website that represents you, online biography, your photography/artist/author/writer website, etc., Not commercial, an online shop, etc.), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and a link to your social media accounts list. There are Deaf/Hard of Hearing content creators groups on Facebook,…
