Welcome to September...
The Department of Homeland Security’s ready.gov website is decked out accordingly. “This month,” said President Obama in a proclamation issued yesterday, “I encourage all Americans to bolster their readiness in the event of a crisis.”
Hmmm….
In a completely unrelated development, Mr. Obama about to become “the first U.S. president to receive a crash course in survival techniques from Bear Grylls,” says a press release from NBC, also issued yesterday.
The president is in Alaska this week… and as part of his sojourn, he’ll record an installment of the reality TV show Running Wild With Bear Grylls. Exactly what survival techniques he’ll learn today, no one’s saying -- we’ll have to wait until the program is broadcast later this year. Yeah, that’s real appointment viewing.
We mean it when we say this development is completely unrelated. We looked for “Bear Grylls” and “National Preparedness Month” on Google News and nothing came up that included both of those search terms.
Evidently, no one in the White House managed to put two and two together to give National Preparedness Month an extra publicity boost. That’s how huge and ungainly the federal government has become.

In other news of Obama in Alaska -- completely unrelated to any Constitutional authorization of White House job description or power, so won't be found enumerated there under the Executive Branch category; nor anywhere else in that document where it's mentioned administratively:
Sunday, August 30, 2015: Obama to rename Mount McKinley as Denali in Alaska trip - Washington Times; Excerpts:

... Obama on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2015 said he’s changing the name of the tallest mountain in North America from Mount McKinley to [Denali] ... more >
... plans to rename Alaska’s Mount McKinley, the tallest peak in North America, as Denali to show the federal government’s harmony with the state’s native people [My note: ... ancestors of which were slaveholders at the time of America's Post-"Civil War" purchase from Russia, btw], the White House announced Sunday.

Reporting continued:

Mr. Obama had the mountain renamed Denali, an Athabascan word meaning “the high one,” to recognize the sacred status of the mountain to generations of Alaska Natives, said the White House.
But its official U.S. government designation has been Mount McKinley after the 25th U.S. president, William McKinley,
“Denali” is the name of the national park in which it is located.
The new name for the mountain is one of several initiatives Mr. Obama will unveil during a three-day visit to Alaska that [begins] Monday and will focus on strengthen[ing] cooperation between the federal government and Alaska Native tribes.
The announcement by Mr. Obama will finalize a name-changing process initiated by the Alaska in 1975, with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell using her authority to formally recognize the mountain as “Denali.”
The proposal has been resisted by lawmakers in Ohio, McKinley’s home state.
The mountain, which rises more than 20,300 feet above sea level, got its name from a prospector who was exploring the range in 1896 and learned that McKinley ~~has~~ won the Republican presidential nomination. As a show of support, the prospector declared the tallest peak of the Alaska Range as “Mt. McKinley.”
The name stuck — until now.
The mountain is considered a site of significant cultural importance and central to the creation story for the indigenous people of the region.
