News broke in The Intercept that Senator Joe Manchin, (Big Fossil Fuel's Best Friend)--will craft the climate bill. Why?! Manchin has been the poster boy for political corruption as recently outed by an EXXON LOBBYIST--so Why is he given this task?  I will discuss Joe Manchin's history and his conflict-of-interest in this political arena. Unlike the mainstream media, I will not label Manch...

Police brutality is alive and well in the US--STILL. Apparently removing Trump from office didn't bring about police accountability AT ALL. Here in Woodson Terrace, Missouri we have video of white police officers using a K9 attack dog on a black man accused of trespassing. The video was so reminiscent of Bull Connor and other Klan members sicking dogs on black citizens, that it received enough...

This week on the Environmental Justice Report, I will discuss the recent coverage by DeSmog on Climate-Conflicted Bank Directors. Frankly, that's civil speak for bank officers funding Ecocide. DeSmog names names and discusses the money trail which funds the fossil fuel industry.  With the COP26 conference looming, the discussion of big money must come into play. Does anyone actually believe th...

This week on PNN, we will cover the Justice 4 J6 Rally in Washington, D.C.  Besides providing some information on the day's events, we will discuss the white supremacists/neo nazis in attendance, in addtion to any comments coming from the Trump 'peanut gallery' at Mar-A-Lago.  Secondly, we will discuss how private insurers are allowed to negotiate drug prices for their enrollees, but p...

This week on our Sunday show, Brook contributes to our onogoing coverage of the COVID crisis, while the Justice Report deals with the stealth danger to our consitutiional rights that the Texas abortion law poses. Edwin Chermerinsky, Dean of the UC Berkeley Law School wrote on this dangerous legislative trend championed by a GOP determined to destroy the BIll of RIghts.  Additionally, I will previe...

This week, during the Days of Awe, namely the week in between Rosh Hashanah and the Day of Atonement, I chose to focus on the looming global climate crisis as a life-threatening crisis for the world's children. Both the UN and Unicef have created reports documenting this global disgrace. Not only is the planet reeling to the edge of extinction, but with it--children from impoverished nations....

This week we will cover two topics of interest. First, we will talk about the Texas law essentially outlawing abortion rights, and the Florida GOP plan to do the same. The irony is too strong to ignore. While states like Texas and Florida scream 'right to life' for an undeveloped zygote--both states have feverishly worked to deny that same 'right to life' to those wanting reasonabl...

We are continuing coverage on the planned negligence being orchestrated by the GOP when it comes to COVID. This week, Jeanine will speak to, yet another frivolous lawsuit filed by the Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt. AG Schmidt filed a lawsuit seeking to ban mask mandates---in Missouri's public schools. Sound familiar?! In this lawsuit Schmidt claims that the 'science' is on his...

This week on EJR, I will talk some more about how big banks are actively funding global climate devastation--and how the COP conference--greenwashes as they turn a blind eye on this global crime of ECOCIDE. While groups like Extinction Rebellion, NRDC, and others risk their bodies and their freedom to halt this murder of the planet; the very conferences set up to create new climate pollution restr...

This week on PNN Brook discusses her Covid journey through vaccine hesitancy and her post-jab TIA (transient ischemic attack). The rest of the story of my very first mini-stroke is available over at PNN's The Lefty Lounge on Anchor/Spotify. Jeanine will discuss the Executive Order issued by Governor Ron DeSantis which remands decisions regarding masking and vaccination of children in our publi...

Now that the 'bipartisan' infrastructure bill has passed the Senate, it is back to the House. This bipartisan scheme brags about its 'green' credentials, and features 'blue hydrogen.' Unfortunately, a new study published by Energy Science & Engineering discovered that the carbon footprint of blue hydrogen is heavier than previous fossil fuels.  This will be discussed in...

Jeanine is filling in for Brook this week. We will be talking about Governor DeSantis and his insane crusade to forbid any masking policy in public schools. I will cover the questionable legality and the entire assortment of lies, half-truths, and theories rattling around the public sphere. In short, the anti-mask mandate DeSantis is pushing has no legal legitimacy--and he knows it.  I will also f...

Today, August 5, 2021, is the 76th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima by the United States. The IOC is noting this event in the final Olympic closing ceremonies since Japan is hosting this year's Olympics.  EJR then delved into the history of this nuclear attack, including the effects of 'little boy', (the unironic name of the nuclear device), and the journalistic coverage...

This week, Jeanine is filling in for Brook. The big story speaks to the manner which both Republicans and corporated 'centrist' Democrats allowed the eviction moratorium to expire--without even a gasp of concern--as they began early 'vacations.'  Missouri progressive congresswoman Cori Bush is leading a protest outside the Capitol by sleeping on the steps with Squad colleagues Ayan...

This week on EJR, I will discuss the role of vulture corporate law firms, lobby groups and the bill mill known as ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), as they work to criminalize dissent and nullify the right of local munincipalities, states or foreign nations to sue for the environmental crimes of big fossil fuel. The first part of the show will discuss a pending bill which will protect...

Journalist Justin Nobel investigated the issue of fracking waste. Rather than trust the politicians or the corporate attorneys, he dug deep into the situation for one company in Texas known as Lotus LLC. Now, keep in mind that LLC is an acronym which stands for 'limited liability corporation', and though there are legitimate uses for this legal contrivance, this situation with Lotus LLC, t...

We dis...
