     The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) current brings warm air to the EU resulting in warmer climates than you would expect so close to the Arctic. Unfortunately it is coming closer to collapse which could result in climate disasters only seen in Hollywood epic movies. Today on the Environmental Justice Report, I will discuss this looming disaster in terms of climate crimes an...

     This week I will discuss the treachery of conservatives on the Supreme Court. Apparently, section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to presidents who commit insurrection. But, that's not the end of this mockery as the Trump claim of "absolute immunity'" for presidents comes next. Both cases deal with the fraud of "originalism," a doctrine that reduces rule...

     This week, I will be discussing the way Nazis were openly welcomed in Nashville by the GOP. Now to be fair, republican office holders did "denounce" the Nazis--but this denunciation was as credible as a hooker's exclamation that her present client is the 'best' they ever had. I will discuss the transition of GOP politics in Tennessee over the past 20 years that has trans...

     This week I  am going to discuss the Gish Gallop aka how to shovel BULLSHIT as fast as possible in the poltiical sphere--and how to counter it. Trump and his GOP have become experts at the art of throwing bullshit at opponents. They do it to avoid the public discovery that Trump knows NOTHING. This propaganda technique is also known as the Gish Gallop. It has been used by fascist parties for...

     Trump is guilty of insurrection. Period. He must be banned from holding any office ever again. This plea for sanity and justice goes far beyond Donald Trump. If Trump isn't made to face justice, his MAGA lynch mob will become bolder. So, this story will recap Trump's many crimes. It will also focus on the complicity of other republicans. Our democracy is at stake here. This is our Big...

     This week on EJR, I will discuss the impending end of the Chevron Doctrine. First created to establish EPA regulatory power, the doctrine has allowed federal agencies such as the EPA to create regulations consistent with the law, while reflecting the judgement of various experts in multiple fields. It makes sense as professionals in the fields to be regulated would better be able to craft sen...

     This week on PNN, I will discuss the asinine statement made by JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, where he admonishes Trump MAGA critics. Dimon said in Davos that we shouldn't 'demonize' MAGA. Dimon then praised Trump for his alleged accomplishments. Apparently, MAGA supporters terrorizing the rest of us is little more than an inconvenience to Dimon, so I decided to investigate Dimon. Sho...

   The first show of 2024 will focus on how the US is rapidly entering what has been termed as fascism's 'legal' phase. This is consistent with Project 2025 under the direction of the Heritage Foundation and associated groups. This fascistic evolution is particularly important as it sets the stage for future grievous injustices. I will name names and explain in detail.  We will also ha...

    This show SHOULD have aired last Sunday, but BlogTalkRadio was having a 'nervous breakdown.' This episode challenges the ludicrous narrative coming from the Trump camp--the asinine idea that the president has 'absolute immunity. We will discuss the deluded and tortured argument for 'absolute presidential immunity' from criminal prosecution, its dubious history, and its dang...

This week on PNN, I will discuss the republican attacks on voting rights. Whether you are more interested in environmental issues as opposed to voting rights, this issue affects all others. The GOP knows they can't win elections legitimately so they attack voting rights. Just a week ago, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis struck down another major protection that was formerly...

    This week, I will present another segment on the GOP blueprint to end democracy aka Project 2025, sponsored by the Heritage Foundation. Our big story features a republican attorney operative named Mike Davis. Davis has been on the airwaves threatening to jail, denaturalize and deport anyone who dares criticize Donald Trump, during a second Trump administration. Apparently, Davis' name has...

     Last week I presented an overview of the GOP plot to subvert the last remaining shreds of democracy and pervert government into a Trumpian dictatorial hell. Sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, "Project 2025", a 1,000 page cookbook, gives detailed instructions on how to dismantle any semblance of rational government while nullifying the Bill of Rights. Make no mistake, this is a pl...

     Las week I presented an overview of the GOP plot to subvert the last remaining shreds of democracy and pervert government into a Trumpian dictatorial hell.

     This week I will discuss what has painfully become--the obvious--namely the vile bigotry of the Trump base. I refuse to entertain the excuses by some, claiming that they voted for Obama and then Trump--because of the economy and Trump's alleged business acumen. Put bluntly, Trump has NO business acumen. These milder Trump voters supported Trump because of white supremacy. Period. The econ...

    This week House republicans elected a new Speaker--and he was one of the intellectual leaders of the Jan. 6th insurrection. His name is Mike Johnson and he likes to pray for people. Mike Johnson led the charge in an amicus brief demanding that the Electoral College results be tossed. He has sponsored legislation which would grant legal impunity to businesses and groups who discriminate against...

This week on PNN/EJR I will be talking about two garbage rulings coming out of what has been called–”the Trumpiest Court in America”--aka the 5th Circuit federal court. Manned by judges appointed by George W. Bush, and of course TRUMP–they have systematically attacked both free speech rights and the right to assemble–providing you are on the left–or NOT white enough. The 5th Circuit has also attac...

     This show ran last week, but Blogtalkradio somehow managed to delete the audio, so I'm running it again. Needless to say, we will be looking for another platform. I apologize to our listeners. I'm not sure if this was a 'glitch' or some not so stealthy moves by Blogtalk. In any case, I will NOT be silenced.  The GOP has had a long term plot to destroy public schools. It began...

    This week on PNN, I am speaking about censorship in our K-12 schools, universities, and public libraries--all in the name of alleged 'parent rights.' The title of this week's show is "Free speech vs parent's rights--aka--democracy vs bigotry, reflects the ugly truth of the times. GOP conservatives have embraced open bigotry--now comfortable "saying the quiet part out...

     Shawn Fain is the present UAW president and he is directing the strike in strategic ways, but Fain wasn't always the fighter he's been characterized by the corporate press. Fain is, in my opinion, fighting because former UAW presidential candidate Will Lehman is nipping at his heels. Practically every strategic move Fain is now employing came from Will Lehman's playbook. Today we...

     Vivek Ramaswamy is the current GOP flavor of the month. Complete with both prep school and Ivy League credentials, he attempts to position himself as the anti-elitist. Some media outlets have called him 'Trump-lite' while others claim he has the Obama charm while pushing the fascist MAGA agenda. So, who is Vivek? How did he make his fortune? Is he a wunderkind or the academia version...

     The Marion County Record newspaper was raided by police a week ago by local police. There was no apparent legitimate reason for the raid, but a judge signed off on it anyway. Since the raid, major and small press outlets have cried foul, yet the damage is already done. This raid is merely the latest attack on a free press in the USA. Whether it's the bogus charges against Julian Assange o...

The Biden EPA has recently approved a Chevron produced fuel ingredient that carries such a high cancer risk that it could cause cancer in anyone exposed--over a lifetime. This was reported by Propublica as part of their "Poison in the Air" series. Meanwhile, the corporate media focused on the 'horse race' between Trump and Biden--or on Hunter Biden's magical penis. The obviou...

     While mainstream media bemoans the hottest July on record, they fail to call out the cause--namely fossil fuel. Instead the corporate stenographers mention the possibility of environmental collapse, but the story is wedged between the Biden-Trump horserace and drag shows. Young people like Greta Thunberg are hitting the streets again to demand accountability and rapid change. They are arreste...

This week on PNN, I will discuss the systemic child abuse and child reckless endangerment on the Texas border along the Rio Grande River, sponsored by Governor Greg Abbott. Governor Abbott ordered DPS (Texas Department of Public Safety) officers to push the small children and babies of migrants back into the treacherous waters of the Rio Grande River. He has also ordered troopers to deny small chi...

This week on EJR, I will discuss the latest updates on the WestLake Landfill/Coldwater Creek disaster in St. Louis, Mo. Multiple communities have been poisoned by nuclear waste that was illegally dumped by the US government and their corporate partners. To add further insult to injury, St. Louisans were kept in the dark regarding the nuclear threat in THEIR OWN BACKYARDS. It took the action of a l...
