Did Trump trap Obama with Presidential immunity?   Economy https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/1950545248825798729 Trump Axes Obama's Endangerment Finding During his two terms, Obama enacted several policies that subsidized uncompetitive, unneeded, and unwanted green energy while placing onerous regulations on fossil fuels. During his first term, Trump tried to reverse much of the Obama administration's anti-fossil fuel actions. However, there was only so much that could be done given the constant distractions Trump faced throughout his first term. One of the most consequential environmental regulations that Trump was unable to eliminate was Obama's “Endangerment Finding.” Most Americans have probably never heard of the Endangerment Finding. But this obscure rule has effectively allowed the federal government to label carbon dioxide a harmful “pollutant” that can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. Unfortunately, a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowed the Obama administration to enact the rule in the first place. In 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Massachusetts v. EPA that “greenhouse gases are air pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act and that EPA must determine whether or not emissions of greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.” Although this is the standard reading of the ruling, it is not totally accurate. According to the majority opinion, written by former Justice John Paul Stevens, “We need not and do not reach the question whether on remand EPA must make an endangerment finding, or whether policy concerns can inform EPA's actions in the event that it makes such a finding. We hold only that EPA must ground its reasons for action or inaction in the statute.” So, the 2007 decision did not determine that carbon dioxide is a harmful air pollutant. Rather, it granted that the EPA has the authority to determine if carbon dioxide is a harmful greenhouse gas based solely upon unequivocal data. Trump's EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, has made rescinding the Endangerment Finding a priority. “A lot of people are out there listening, they might not know what the endangerment finding is. If you ask congressional Democrats to describe what it is, the left would say that it means that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, carbon dioxide is an endangerment to human health. They might say methane is a pollutant, methane is an endangerment to human health,” Zeldin said on the Ruthless podcast. “That's an oversimplified, I would say inaccurate way to describe it,” Zeldin added. “The Obama administration said that carbon dioxide, when mixed with a bunch of other well-mixed gases, greenhouse gases, that it contributes to climate change. How much?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, Lee Zeldin for wanting to rein the power of his agency, They're also happy to see decent economic growth in the second quarter, and they berate Pete Buttigieg for his pathetic response about the future of the Democratic Party. First, they praise Zeldin for urging the courts to restrict the Environmental Protection Agency's powers to what Congress has explicitly authorized. Jim notes that if Democrats want the EPA to expand its reach, they need to pass legislation, not rely on regulatory overreach. Greg applauds Zeldin for respecting the limits of government power and willingly ceding authority not grounded in law.Next, Jim and Greg are thrilled to see the resilience of the economy as the second quarter GDP rose by three percent. Although not a fan of tariffs, Jim is pleasantly surprised to see the economy doing well. Meanwhile, the positive growth means we are nowhere near a recession, forcing Democrats to find different talking points. Last, they slam Buttigieg for his substance-free response to The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne tha God, who asked whether the future of the Democratic party is someone more like New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or someone like Buttigieg. Buttigieg's response included such rhetorical gems as "we're each going to be putting forward the version of the message that's truest to who we are" and what young Democrat politicians have in common is that "they are who they are." Jim and Greg have fun with Buttigieg's meaningless answers and consider what answers would have actually been interesting.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

The Ag Net News Hour hosts, Nick Papagni, the “Ag Meter” and Lorrie Boyer discussed the Yuba River Resilience Initiative, a joint project by NOAA, the state of California, and the Yuba Water Agency. This initiative fulfills a Presidential Memorandum by providing reliable irrigation water to central valley farmers while protecting fish habitat. The agreement guarantees 184,228 acre-feet of water across 43,000 acres, benefiting 16,000 acres of rice, 4,000 acres of walnuts, and 3,000 acres of prunes, with a total value of $417 million. Additionally, the hosts addressed the issue of Tijuana dumping sewage into the Pacific, affecting San Diego and causing environmental damage, with efforts led by Jim Desmond and Lee Zeldin to address this problem.   The Ag Net News Hour hosts then discussed Mexico's dumping of raw sewage and toxic chemicals into the Pacific Ocean, affecting Navy SEALs, locals, and the environment, including fish and marine life. Toxic algae is causing the death of dolphins and seals. Jim Desmond and Zeldin are addressing the issue. The Tijuana sewage treatment plant malfunctions, leading to pollution. The New World screw worm, a significant threat to livestock, is spreading despite US-funded efforts. Mexico is restricting US flights to control the worm, risking a trade ban on cattle imports. The USDA and NCBA are urging Mexico to comply with the agreement to prevent the worm's spread.   On the last segment, Nick and Lorrie covered the citrus and cherry markets, noting a strong demand for navels and lemons, with prices expected to rise. Rain in California could impact cherry yields, potentially leading to higher prices. The Trump administration's USDA reorganization plan is expected in mid-May. Finally, the hosts promoted the Citrus Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa, Florida, scheduled for August 20-21, aimed at uniting citrus growers from Florida, Georgia, and California to share best practices and address pest control challenges.

Mercury is an extremely dangerous pollutant that causes brain damage to babies and fetuses; in addition to mercury, pollution from power plants includes hazardous chemicals that can lead to cancer, or damage to the lungs, kidneys, nervous system and cardiovascular system. 4/3 Trump administration adds "deregulation suggestion" website A new page on regulations.gov allows members of the public to submit "deregulation" ideas. The move is the latest in the Trump administration's efforts to slash public health, safety, and climate safeguards, and comes soon after the administration offered companies the opportunity to send the EPA an email if they wished to be exempted from Clean Air Act protections. 4/8 Series of four EOs to boost coal  EO - Under the four orders, Trump uses his emergency authority to allow some older coal-fired power plants set for retirement to keep producing electricity to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. Trump also directed federal agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining and prioritize coal leasing on U.S. lands. In a related action, Trump also signed a proclamation offering coal-fired power plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and benzene. 4/9 Executive Order Attacking State Climate Laws EO - Directs the U.S. Attorney General to sue or block state climate policies deemed "burdensome" to fossil fuel interests — including laws addressing climate change, ESG investing, carbon taxes, and environmental justice. 4/9 New expiration dates on existing energy rules EO - The order directs ten agencies and subagencies to assign one-year expiration dates to existing energy regulations. If they are not extended, they will expire no later than September 30, 2026, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. The order also said any new regulations should include a five-year expiration, unless they are deregulatory. That means any future regulations would only last for five years unless they are extended. 4/17 Narrow Endangered Species Act to allow for habitat destruction The Trump administration is proposing to significantly limit the Endangered Species Act's power to preserve crucial habitats by changing the definition of one word: harm. The Endangered Species Act prohibits actions that “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” endangered plants and animals. The word “harm” has long been interpreted to mean not just the direct killing of a species, but also severe harm to their environment  

Immigration and Deportation: The Trump administration achieved a significant victory with an immigration judge ruling in favor of deporting students advocating for anti-Israel and anti-American protests. This case involved Mahmoud Khalil from Columbia University, who was involved in pro-Hamas protests and misrepresented himself on his green card application. Harvard University Funding: The Trump administration decided to freeze over $2 billion in federal funding to Harvard University due to its non-compliance with federal civil rights laws and its stance on anti-Semitism. The administration demanded reforms in governance, merit-based hiring and admissions, and viewpoint diversity. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Efforts: The podcast highlights the EPA's involvement in cleaning up hazardous materials from wildfires in California and addressing sewage contamination from Tijuana, Mexico.

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running in this high-octane episode of Badlands Daily, covering everything from massive voter fraud operations to elite-level legal boomerangs. First up: Letitia James. The New York Attorney General who came after Trump is now facing criminal referral herself, over alleged mortgage fraud, falsified records, and some eyebrow-raising residency claims. Ashe and CannCon dig into the legal implications and political irony, with plenty of trolling along the way. They also blow the lid off the smurfing racket, laundered campaign donations disguised as grassroots contributions, and the shady $100 million funneling through the 1630 Fund. From weaponized ballot initiatives to ranked-choice voting manipulation, the crew exposes how the Uniparty quietly rewrites state constitutions behind closed doors. Shifting gears, they torch the Left's attempt to martyr an MS-13-linked illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, as Chris Van Hollen grandstands on foreign soil. Ashe breaks down the real legal inconsistencies behind his asylum claim, while CannCon points out the media's selective outrage over due process. Plus: the Pentagon's leaker problem, Musk's silent purge of tech traitors, Zeldin's EPA takedown, and Trump's strategic moves to clean the Social Security database, which just might double as a covert voter roll cleanup op. This episode is packed, sharp, and not to be missed.

This Day in Legal History: Nuclear Non-Proliferation TreatyOn March 5, 1970, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) officially took effect, marking a major milestone in global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. The treaty, first opened for signatures in 1968, was ratified by 43 nations and established a framework based on three core principles: non-proliferation, disarmament, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Under its terms, nuclear-armed states agreed not to transfer nuclear weapons or technology to non-nuclear states, while non-nuclear countries pledged not to pursue nuclear weapons. In return, signatories were guaranteed access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, such as power generation and medical research. The treaty also called for eventual nuclear disarmament, though progress on this front has been slow and uneven. The NPT has since become one of the most widely adhered-to arms control agreements, with 191 countries now party to it. However, key states like India, Pakistan, and Israel never joined, while North Korea withdrew in 2003. The treaty's effectiveness has been challenged by nuclear programs in states like Iran and North Korea, as well as concerns over compliance by nuclear-armed signatories. Despite these challenges, the NPT is reviewed every five years at Review Conferences, where nations assess progress and negotiate future commitments. The treaty remains central to international non-proliferation efforts, balancing national security interests with the goal of reducing nuclear threats worldwide.In his primetime address to Congress, President Donald Trump defended his aggressive tariff policies, claiming they would generate significant revenue and restore economic balance. He downplayed concerns over rising consumer prices, characterizing them as a temporary inconvenience. While Trump briefly addressed inflation, blaming high costs on his predecessor, he provided few concrete solutions. Instead, he focused on politically charged topics like immigration and cultural issues, declaring an end to "wokeness." His speech coincided with growing economic concerns, including stagnating factory activity and declining consumer confidence, while markets reacted negatively to escalating trade tensions. New tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China sparked fears of inflation and economic slowdown, though his administration suggested potential relief for North American allies. Trump also called for the repeal of the Chips Act, arguing tariffs were more effective in boosting domestic industry. He promoted energy independence but proposed long-term projects unlikely to have an immediate impact. Meanwhile, his executive actions have rapidly reshaped government policies, sparking bipartisan concerns. The speech underscored Trump's efforts to push his economic agenda while navigating political and economic challenges.Trump Hails Tariffs as US Economy Barrels Into Trade WarsThe U.S. Tax Court ruled that a $3.1 million grant given to a Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary after the Sept. 11 attacks is taxable income. The grant, provided in 2007 through New York City's World Trade Center Job Creation and Retention Program, was meant to help businesses recover, but the court determined it did not qualify as a tax-exempt gift or disaster aid. Despite this, the court waived $211,000 in penalties, acknowledging the complexity of tax laws at the time. Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 employees in the World Trade Center attacks, had argued the funds should not be considered taxable, citing past Supreme Court rulings. However, Judge Kathleen M. Kerrigan found that the payments were not an act of disinterested generosity but an effort to stimulate economic recovery. The IRS had initially determined in 2007 that the company owed about $1.1 million in taxes for not reporting the grant on its tax returns. While Cantor Fitzgerald contested the classification, the court upheld the IRS's position, reinforcing that government aid programs do not automatically qualify for tax exemption.Cantor Fitzgerald's Sept. 11 Relief Grant Deemed Taxable IncomeFederal judges are facing an increase in threats as Elon Musk and Trump allies intensify their attacks on the judiciary over rulings that hinder White House policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has warned judges about heightened security risks, especially as Musk has repeatedly criticized judges on his social media platform, calling them “corrupt” and “evil.” Some judges have received anonymous deliveries, like pizzas, in what authorities see as intimidation tactics. Musk's posts, along with calls from Republican lawmakers to impeach certain judges, have coincided with a rise in violent threats, particularly against judges who have blocked parts of the administration's plans to cut government jobs and aid programs. One judge, Amir Ali, received death threats after ruling against a Trump executive order, with online users calling for his execution. The American Bar Association and the Federal Judges Association have condemned these attacks, warning that continued intimidation could undermine judicial independence. Since 2020, threats against federal judges have more than doubled, and legal experts caution that targeting judges for their rulings could destabilize the rule of law.Exclusive: Judges face rise in threats as Musk blasts them over rulings | ReutersTwo Trump EPA nominees are facing Senate scrutiny over the agency's possible plan to roll back the 2009 “endangerment finding,” which forms the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The nominees, Aaron Szabo and David Fotouhi, would oversee efforts to reverse this finding, which has supported climate regulations on power plants and vehicle emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has recommended reconsidering the finding to the White House, though details remain undisclosed. While the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling in Massachusetts v. EPA confirmed greenhouse gases as air pollutants, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act further solidified the EPA's authority. However, the EPA under Trump previously avoided overturning the rule due to industry resistance. Some industry groups, like the Edison Electric Institute, have expressed reliance on EPA authority for emissions regulation, while automakers have yet to take a position. Zeldin acknowledged the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases but suggested it is not obligated to do so, fueling debate over the agency's future climate policies.Top EPA nominees face Senate scrutiny over plan to undo key climate finding | Reuters This is a public episode.

It's Thursday, February 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 74% rise in hate speech in India targeting Christians and Muslims While India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President Donald Trump last Wednesday to discuss the threat of increased tariffs between the two countries, the Center for the Study of Organized Hate found a 74% rise in hate speech incidents last year in India compared to 2023. About 10% of the 1,165 incidents targeted Christians — a population that makes up just 2.3% of the population — while more than 98% of cases targeted Muslims, either alone or together with Christians, reports International Christian Concern. In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated Me before it hated you. … Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Judge gives Dept. of Government Efficiency massive win On Tuesday, a federal judge refused to immediately block Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government data systems or participating in worker layoffs, reports The Guardian. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, found that there were legitimate questions about the billionaire's authority, but said there was not enough evidence of grave legal harm to justify a temporary restraining order. The decision came in reaction to a February 13th lawsuit filed by 14 attorneys general in Democratic states challenging the Department of Government Efficiency's authority to access sensitive government data. But the Trump administration has maintained that layoffs are ordered by agency heads. Biden's EPA advisor admits $50 billion ‘insurance policy' against Trump In an undercover video that was released last December, Project Veritas revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency was frantically doling out billions of dollars before then President-elect Donald Trump took office on January 20th, 2025. The video revealed that Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation at the EPA, was having drinks with a undercover Project Veritas reporter, bragging about how much hard-earned taxpayer money he was doling out to liberal climate groups. Listen. EFRON: “We've given out, like, tens of billions of dollars.” REPORTER: “The EPA has?” EFRON: “Like last year, like $50 billion.” REPORTER: “$50 million?” EFRON: “No. billion dollars. Billion with a B.” REPORTER: “$50 billion?” EFRON: “Yes, for climate things.” Shockingly, Efron described what they were doing at the EPA leading up to Trump's January 20th, 2025 inauguration as throwing gold bars off the Titanic. EFRON: “It truly feels like we're on the Titanic, and we're throwing, like, gold bars off the back end.” REPORTER: “Does it really?” EFRON: “Yeah.” REPORTER: “It's gotta feel weird.” EFRON: “It's weird. I mean, it's it's not good vibes. It's not good. I mean, everyone's very sad.” REPORTER: “Where are the gold bars going to?” EFRON: “Non-profits, states, tribes, cities.” REPORTER: “Anything, like, in the news that I would know of?” EFRON: “Not yet.” The undercover Project Veritas reporter wanted to know what would happen if the Trump people discovered what the Biden appointees were doing with the money. REPORTER: “What happens if they try to stop it? They can?” EFRON: “When they come in, if we haven't gotten out the door, then they can stop it.” REPORTER: “You've got like two months. If they don't get it out by a certain date. What's that date?” EFRON: “It's the inauguration, the 20th.  It's noon on the 20th of January.” REPORTER: “You can work right down to the minute?” EFRON: “It's probably like a little after noon. Yeah.” REPORTER: “Hey, throw a couple billion here or there.” EFRON: “It's until the Trump people come in and tell us we can no longer give out money.” REPORTER: “Wow!” Efron also said, “We gave them [the nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren't [a government agency], they're safer from Republicans taking the money away.” Trump's EPA Administrator found $20 billion siphoned away by Biden's people Lee Zeldin, Trump's Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, was horrified by this revelation, reports The Western Journal. ZELDIN: “An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before Inauguration Day. The gold bars were tax dollars, and ‘tossing them off the Titanic' meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.” To his credit, Zeldin was able to recover $20 billion of our taxpayer money, according to his Monday video. ZELDIN: “Fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. “Even further, this pot of $20 billion was awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to [Non Governmental Organizations] and others, at their discretion, with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.” Zeldin explained what he intends to do now. ZELDIN: “Here's my position as EPA Administrator. The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated, and the bank must immediately return all of the ‘gold bars' that the Biden administration tossed off the Titanic. “EPA needs to reassume responsibility for all of these funds. We will review every penny that has gone out the door. I will be referring this matter to the Inspector General's office, and we'll work with the Justice Department as well.” Presbyterian Church in America repents of helping illegals stay And finally, The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) recently issued a statement repenting for guidance on one of its websites that advised illegal immigrants how to avoid detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reports The Christian Post. After it went viral on X last week, the conservative Presbyterian denomination deleted a resource page titled "Refugee & Immigrant Ministry for Churches: Help Immigrants Facing 2025 Policy Changes.” It was published in January by Mission to North America, a subsidiary of the PCA. Megan Basham, author of Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded Truth for A Leftist Agenda, tweeted, “The verbiage of this document from the [Presbyterian Church in America] is overall emotionally manipulative, showing no respect for U.S. immigration law. It assumes that the only way you can love your immigrant neighbor is by helping him continue to remain in the country illegally.” After the guidance was deleted, Mission to North America Director Irwyn Ince issued an extensive statement of repentance. He wrote, "We affirm that it is our Christian duty to obey the lawful commands of the civil magistrate and be subject to their authority (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:13-14). To counsel otherwise is a sin. We confess that we fell short of our Biblical and Confessional standard. We repent and apologize.” Indeed, 1 Peter 2:13-14 does say, “Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

" "I became Acting Chairman of the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission in January 2025, shortly after President Trump's inauguration," he continued. "So long as I have a say in the matter, the CPSC is out of the gas-stoves-banning business. The agency has no plans to advance such a rule."

Zeldin made the announcement in a video posted to social media on Wednesay when he charged the Biden administration of “throwing gold bars of the Titanic” in relation to the money lost on climate projects that he said was a “rush job with reduced oversight.” “The days of irresponsibly shoveling boatloads of cash to far-left activist groups in the name of environmental justice and climate equity are over,” Zeldin said. “The American public deserves a more transparent and accountable government than what transpired these past four years.” Source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/epaleezeldin/status/1889840040622321778 Rep. Jan Schakowsky Suggests Women Might Not Pursue Jobs in Manufacturing Because “Man” is in the Name (Video) Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing. Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.” Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it. https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1889833714974416938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1889833714974416938%7Ctwgr%5E405aa74609e691f5897438e7cd78045186bc95f1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F02%2Frep-jan-schakowsky-suggests-women-might-not-pursue%2F Source: thegatewaypunidt.com

He next turns his attention to Michigan Democrats in Congress, like Congresswoman Kristin McDonald-Rivet of Bay City, who still defends her vote on the Lakin Riley Act, which removes basic due process rights for migrants accused of crimes. Michigan Democratic Senators Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters also voted for the bill in Senate. Pat wonders how being MAGA-Lite, and refusing to protect the vulnerable in society, will benefit Democrats. And that's why Pat explains why Senator Peters' announcement that he won't run for reelection in 2026 will only help Michigan Democrats. 14:17-38:57: Peter Sinclair Interview Peter Sinclair is an environmental activist, climate change educator, a science journalist, videographer from Midland, and host of the This Is Not Cool blog. Mr. Sinclair recently covered a recent disinformation campaign launched by the fossil fuel industry, and pushed by right-wing think tanks and MAGA Michigan Republicans, regarding a solar farm around the Gaylord area. The "story" went viral in pushing a false story that a clean energy company was clearing-out 420 acres of pristine forestland to build a solar farm. In reality, the company scrapped the original plan to build a farm on public land, and instead chose private land for the farm. And no massive deforestation project is going to happen as a result of this solar farm. Mr. Sinclair explains how the anti-clean energy forces depend on this kind of confusing propaganda campaigns to drive people away from clean energy. Check out his YouTube page, too! 38:58-45:41: Last Call-Zeldin As EPA Head In the "Last Call," Pat talks about the U.S. Senate confirming a pro-fossil fuel, and climate change denier, Lee Zeldin to become the head of the Environmental Protection Agency. Even worse, three Democratic Senators voted to confirm Zeldin, who has a 14% lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters! MAGA Republicans are causing further harm to the planet, and the country, but that pleases the fossil fuel industry.  45:42-48:22: Ending Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: Peter Sinclair's This Is Not Cool blog.

Former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin breaks down how New York is in play this election cycle for Republicans and President Trump after a huge turnout of support this weekend at Madison Square Garden. Zeldin says that voters are seeing through the media back to trying to label former President Donald Trump as a “Hitler,” and a “fascist.” Zeldin explains that because Vice President Kamala Harris can't answer “slam dunk” basic questions in her town halls about top voter issues such as, the economy and the open Southern border, Democrats are back on the offense to try to sway independent voters with negative rhetoric.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
