Hijacked Nation, Donald Trump's attack on America's greatness tracks key developments from the Donald Trump presidency, his subsequent election loss denial, and the aftermath with President Joe Biden's decision to step aside in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris through essays from Lean to the Left. Order now https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK49QHP5 These past years have been marked by discord following Trump's refusal to accept defeat in 2020, his role in encouraging the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and the aftermath of those developments, including his felony convictions related to his election loss denial and hush money payments to adult sex queen Stormy Daniels. Robert catches up with busy author and journalist Bob Gatty, founder and editor of the Lean to the Left blogsite (www.leantotheleft.net), and host of its companion Lean to the Left podcast, and C J Waldron, a college English professor, writer, and analyst. Together, with contributions from writer V. Susan Hutchinson, they call out the mean presidency – and subsequent candidacy – of Donald Trump. “As this is written, it's less than 20 days to Election Day when America will decide whether to return to the dark days of a Donald Trump presidency or embrace the joyful, hopeful, competent presidency of Vice President Kamala Harris. Literally our democracy is at stake,” says Gatty. “Our job,” adds Waldron, “is to preserve American ideals until America comes to its senses.” Whether Trump wins or loses, Hijacked Nation is must-reading for anyone concerned about the damage wreaked upon our nation by Trump and the Republican party, which he effectively hijacked to do his bidding. It is available now on pre-order at Amazon.com. About the Authors In 2017, Bob Gatty founded the Not Fake News blog in response to Trump's complaining about “fake news” and calling journalists “the enemy of the people.” It was renamed Lean to the Left and the podcast was launched in 2020. The podcast and this book are especially relevant now considering Trump's recent threat to use the military against his political opponents, whom he describes as "the enemy from within." Gatty worked for newspapers, UPI, and covered Washington for national business publications. His company, G-Net Strategic Communications, assisted trade associations with their communications needs. During his career, Gatty also worked on Capitol Hill as press secretary and chief of staff to Reps. Edwin Forsythe and James Florio of New Jersey. A PA native and Maryland transplant, he now lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. C J Waldron lived in Schenectady, N.Y., before moving to Myrtle Beach. He is currently an adjunct English professor at Horry Georgetown Technical College in Conway, S.C. Waldron previously was an English and Special Education teacher in Schenectady. V. Susan Hutchinson, a contributor to the book, is a Chicago native who worked in the health science field before moving to Conway in 2017, and is a member of the state AARP Executive Council. Hutchinson has blogged on Lean to the Left for the past four years.

Clint shares his personal experience with using semaglutide, detailing how he discovered the drug and the significant weight loss it enabled him to achieve — an impressive 70 pounds shed. Clint's journey began when he found himself struggling with health issues such as diabetes and faced challenges with weight management. Despite the transformative effects of semaglutide, Clint encountered obstacles along the way including a suicide attempt. Moreover, Clint's experience underscores the importance of reporting adverse events through platforms like the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). His struggle with depression and skepticism from medical professionals about its link to the drug raises broader questions about patient advocacy and healthcare transparency. Clint's story offers valuable insights into the complexities of managing health conditions, navigating treatment options, and advocating for oneself within the healthcare system.

Bob Gatty from his Lean to the Left Podcast is based in South Carolina, moving there from Maryland a few years ago, and has since been involved in local Democratic politics – an uphill battle, if ever there was one. Joining us on in this episode is Arthur Hill, from North Carolina. I guess you could call us the "Dixie Dems", except that two of the three of us are NOT native southerners. Listener Supported https://www.peach.deals/sponsors Arthur Hill is communications chair of the Brunswick County, North Carolina, Democratic party, who recently wrote a book on the history of St. James, his hometown since 2014. Before he moved to the Tarheel State, he was a public relations professional and freelance writer in Washington, DC. Back in the day, Arthur also worked on Capitol Hill. So, while it's crazy in South Carolina with a Republican Congressman having to defend his vote to impeach Donald Trump against several rightwing candidates, one of whom was endorsed by Trump, it's even wackier in Georgia and North Carolina. At least SC doesn't have a Madison Cawthorn or a Marjorie Taylor Green! Now, with this apparent Roe v Wade decision that's been reported, it's probably going to get even worse. The discussion unwraps the draft abortion ruling and the political implications, ranges into the argument over what can and cannot be taught in schools, Republican candidate misadventures, Trump's influence, and much more. There's lots of insight, but plenty of laughs along the way, as well. As Hill says in the episode, "The Republicans sit on a hill with a flintlock rifle and say 'no,' but they have no new ideas." So that's just a sample of the tenor and tone of this conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gdliberals/message
