     As we progress further into the holiday season, I decided to broacast a show that speaks to the incoming Trump administration and its very premeditated TYRANNY. So, "No Virignia, things will NOT go back to 'normal.' " I will be referencing various political philosophers, especially Timothy Snyder and his book--"On Tyranny." Those of you who have disowned various fr...

     So, Trump is reelected. What next? One thing I will say, this is NOT the time to despair. This is NOT the time for fear. This IS the time to stand together against the shameful forces of bigotry that produced this sad result. A convicted felon who has proven to be a pathological liar, who uses Hitler's rhetoric and is showing signs of dementia will be given the nuclear weapon button. Trum...

This is the broadcast that SHOULD have aired 11/3/24 at 3 pm Central, but didn't due to the technical incompetence of blogtalkradio.       Donald Trump and his MAGA minions are foaming at the mouth over being called out as fascists. Tough. Donald Trump and MAGA ARE fascists. In fact, the fascism on display by the GOP of Trump has crossed over into Nazism. Now, before some of you cry foul, clai...

     Mother Jones has done an extensive series on the growing threat of Christian nationalism. This show will discuss the THEOBROS, a group of self-proclaimed ministers who preach hatred. They hate women. They hate gays. They hate democracy. Their ultimate plan is to overthrow the Constitution and create a Christian theocratic state similar to Sharia law. Their leaders are surprisingly young. JD V...

     Just 2 days ago, federal Judge Tanya Chutkan released the files prepared by special prosecutor Jack Smith in the election interference/insurrection case. The file had been heavily redacted earlier, but this newly released file exposed previously redacted sections. In spite of the almost 1,900 pages of evidence against Trump, the 'mainstream' aka corporate media has largely ignored Tru...

     JD Vance has enjoyed a suspiciously rapid rise to power. It is unbelievable that he achieved this level of success by his own merit. Rather, JD has been the water 'boy' for tech billionaires--especially Peter Thiel. Thiel is not only known in tech circles, but also in the pro-fascist movement determined to end democratic rule. Thiel has been the major force behind JD's rise, which...

     JD Vance has had quite a month. He's managed to snag the VP spot, while busy pushing some of the oldest racist tropes in existence, aka the..."they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats" in Springfield, Ohio. Since Vance admitted he lied about this claim, violence against Haitian immigrants and other people of color in Springfield has run rampant. Vance refuses to...

This is the episode that SHOULD have aired Sunday BlogTalk was having a breakdown.       Donald Trump was once again, the target of an assassination attempt near his golf course adjacent Mar-a-lago. The would be, hapless assailant was caught in a nano second. Of course, "Trump being Trump"--he had to whine about this near miss. Now, I don't condone violence. Period. That being said,...

Corporate media has been 'carrying water' for Trump. They have been soft peddling his incompetent and dangerous record, while criticizing democrats or progressives. Until recently, the corporate media has received a 'pass' for its complicity as it assists the march to fascism. Now, multiple independent news outlets are asking the question--why is corporate media giving Trump a pass...

     The election cheats, (which the corporate media benignly dub--election 'deniers'), are at it again. Determined to steal the POTUS election of 2024, they're not worried about actually winning the vote. They're not even trying to win. No, the plan is to plant rogue election officials in place ready to deny certification of the vote. Why are they doing this? Well, if the election...

   Donnie the Destroyer is a new feature on PNN. In the middle of this political season where tensions are at astronomical levels, the need for levity and humor is strong. Now, I'm sure that Trump enthusiasts will not find this little ditty 'amusing,' but their sensitivities are unimportant.    Enjoy this first short episode! 

     Climate justice is a hot issue, especially as we experience global climate disasters on an exponential level. There is no dispute that the fossil fuel industry has caused this climate devastation, yet the criminal polluters evade any sort of meaningful legal punishment. Instead, the criminal polluters are paid off due to a series of moronic 'trade deals', beginning with the grand-dadd...

Our first story is an interview conducted by Producer Emeritus Rick Spisak with noted academician Professor Wendy Lynn Lee.      Our next story deals with the very real threat of violence coming from the Trump campaign, if their side loses the election. This is the "Trump Retribution Machine." Mainstream media treats these threats as the loony by-product of some mob of toothless, IQ chal...

     There's a cowarldy 'whisper campaign' to undermine President Biden and its being led by democratic party leaders. It was hauled into high gear after the sad debate. Apparently the likes of Pelosi, Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries and others are worried about their own political skins and are blaming Biden for their failures. These are the same politicians that failed to stand up to Trumpi...

     In the past several hours, the story broke that Donald Trump was shot at a campaign even in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter was promptly killed by the Secret Service detail protecting Trump. Contrary to the MAGA propaganda machine, the shooter WAS NOT a person of color, a member of the LGBTQ community, a liberal, or any other target MAGA has had in their sights. The shooter was a WHITE MALE...

     This 4th of July, I will discuss how MAGA Scotus (aka Supreme Court) is single handedly destroying the last shreds of our democracy--already on life support. I will discuss multiple decisions handed down before their recess, which have a dire impact on our lives and our right to self govern. These MAGA Supreme Court Justices have elevated the nutty theory of 'originalism' to a theolog...

     This week I will discuss how the Supreme Court or SCOTUS has manufactured an unecessary delay in the "presidential absolute immunity" case. In truth, this case should have been LAUGHED out of court. It is the very personification of a 'frivolous' case, yet the Supremes took this asinine case. I will make the case for disbarring the attorneys who brought this ludicrous argume...

     This week on EJR, I will discuss the enormous amount of taxpayer money going to fossil fuel companies in the form of subsidies. Reporting will include a study by the prominent medical journal, The Lancet, which will make the case for ending this taxpayer welfare to fossil fuel welfare mommas. Authors at The Lancet explain how these subsidies could be used to fund universal health coverage for...

     ProPublica published an in depth investigation into the financial benefits received by multiple witnesses testifying on Trump's behalf. These financial gains were dispensed by either the Trump campaign and/or a host of Trump businesses. So far, no other outlet has reported on this alleged organized witness tampering, except ProPublica. This silence from other media is part of a complicit...

     Donald Trump has been convicted on 34 criminal counts. If he were a poor man or a black man--he would receive prison time. Unfortunately, prison time for 'The Donald' is unlikely as corporate media keeps bleating on like brain dead sheep. One of the excuses arguing against prison time is the old bromide that 'white collar crime' is 'non-violent.' I would argue that &#3...

     Big banks are still bankrolling the fossil fuel industry. Claims coming from Wall Street that they are going 'green' are nothing but a big lie. We will speak to this ongoing public relations scam aka 'greenwashing'. That is our first story.  Our second story is about another 'greenwashing' scheme, namely SMR's or Small Modular Reactors, which are smaller nuclear re...

This week on EJR I will discuss how climate scientists worldwide are blowing the whistle on corporate lies about global climate devastation. Many of these renowned climate scientists are plainly stating the the 1.5 degree goal was nothing but political theater as govenrment officials across the globe ignored and mocked the consensus opinions of the scientists. Now we are facing a global catastroph...

We will look at the decades old disinformation campaign sponsored by big petroleum pushing the lie that global warming is overblown, a hoax, a 'Chicken Little' panic. This campaign has lulled the public into a false sense of safety. Just like big tobacco, the petroleum industry should be held accountable for the death and destruction they have caused. This is our big story. Story #2 will f...

     Academics and environmental justice campaigners are demanding that the International Criminal Court (ICC), begin investigating and prosecuting environmental criminals. This demand would most likely include prosecution of Big Petroleum regarding its major role in global climate devastation. In response to these demands, the ICC's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan is developing a policy paper wh...
