The Lean to the Left Podcast

Anybody who watched that horrendous performance by Donald Trump in the presidential debate last night must have been horrified at the brazen bullying that he displayed, targeting both Joe Biden and the moderator, Chris Wallace. Frankly, I was so saddened by it all that I was unable to write, but thankfully, Susan Hutchinson came through with her blog on Not Fake News.biz. So take a listen to Susan...

So we learned today from the New York Times, which published a brilliant investigative report about Donald Trump’s taxes, that the president paid $750 in personal federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, and zero taxes in the decade before. I just read a tweet from a student who said she paid more than that working 39 hours a week at Starbucks. Come on, man…is that right? Take a listen to my co...

I’ve got another twin-bill, double header, two-for…whatever you want to call it…today. First will be my commentary from Not Fake News.biz talking about how Trump is trying to stack the Supreme Court as backup insurance in case Joe Biden kicks him to the curb…and the implications of that. Then, I’ll bring you commentary written by Chris Waldron in Not Fake News in which Chris suggests that Trump’s...

A Trump official says a report by the Government Accountability Office about the administration’s Covid 19 response was the work of a “useful idiot.” Well, we think that the administration’s response actually was the work of a “useless idiot.”And while we’re talking about idiots, Donald Trump gives himself an A+ on how he’s handled the pandemic. Really? With 200,000 deaths and counting, he did a g...

It's becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump is doing everything possible to rig the presidential election, and the opportunity to pack the Supreme Court with a new conservative justice could be his kill shot.

The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg threatens to turn the presidential election upside down and Donald Trump and his Republican henchmen appear determined to make certain that happens. That’s the topic of double-barreled action on NFN Radio News today, with my blog on Not Fake News, “Republicans: Heed Your Own Words,” and a companion piece by Chris Waldron, “The Death of Democracy,” which I’l...

Donald Trump apparently advocates a "herd immunity" strategy that would result in the coronavirus pandemic virtually disappearing, falsely predicting that an approved vaccine will be available sometime in October while blaming Democratic states for the rising death count.

Increasing income inequality is costing most Americans thousands of dollars every year in their paychecks and has made the coronavirus more deadly and its economic consequences more severe than in any other advanced nation in the world. That is the conclusion of Nick Hanauer and David M. Rolf who reported in TIME about new analysis from the RAND Corporation, which estimates that "upward redistribu...

Hey, thanks for connecting with NFN Radio News brought to you by Not Fake News.biz. I’m Bob Gatty, founder and editor of Not Fake News. It is Sunday, so it is only appropriate to ask this question: Who would Jesus vote for, Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Fear not, my beloved followers, I can actually tell you because a recent survey gives us the answer, and I'm certain it's gospel. Become a supporter...

Donald Trump says he told us to "stay calm" about the coronavirus to avoid panic. But he tries to scare us every day into voting for him. He does it over and over again, trying to use his “Law and Order” theme to prove he’ll keep us nice and safe from all those horrible acts by those who actually want to be treated fairly under the law in order for them to be safe. That’s the topic of today’s podc...

Stacy Fitzgerald, an African American writer for Not Fake News, demands justice for those who have fallen victim to racial hatred in America. Of Donald Trump, she writes, "Dividing. Always dividing. Sorting people like baskets of laundry by color. Whites/Delicates. Blacks/Expendable."So take a listen… as Stacy narrates her blog, “Trump: Sorting People Like Baskets of Laundry - By Color" from Not F...

Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron is wondering how you feel about Donald Trump treating you like a human guinea pig with an untested Covid 19 vaccination just so it might boost his chances for re-election. That’s the topic of tonight’s podcast, based on Chris’ blog on Not Fake News.biz. I’ll narrate. So take a listen… to “Willing to Give November Vaccine a Shot?" from Not Fake News.biz. Become a...

Well, today The Atlantic came out with an article detailing comments Donald Trump has made denigrating our military, including those who have been injured and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Obviously, that made a lot of news as it should have. But what struck me the most was a comment he made to former Chief of Staff Gen. John F. Kelly as they stood at the graveside of Kelly’s son, w...

What's behind Trump's suggestion that people vote twice, once by mail and then in person? Could it be part of his strategy to challenge the ultimate election result?

With his continuing divisive rhetoric and appeals to the far right, Donald Trump is causing a modern day civil war, one that some fear could see our nation descend into fascism. The war isn't with opposing armies in grey and blue squaring off with muskets and bayonets and fighting over slavery, but rather with red hatted Trump supporters who still cling to those beliefs of White superiority and ra...

For many of us, it’s difficult to understand how so many people can be so gullible as to not only support, but nearly worship, Donald J. Trump. So Not Fake News.biz has published an open letter to Trump supporters by our own Susan Hutchinson, who narrates it for you.

Why is it that so many people – White people – look for ways to justify the shooting of Black suspects by White police officers? What does that say about our society? It only solidifies the reality of systemic racism in America. That’s the topic of tonight’s podcast, my narration of a blog by Susan Hutchinson of Not Fake News.biz. So take a listen… to “Justifying Murder.” Become a supporter of thi...

While the Republican National Convention is underway, in which speaker after speaker pay fealty to Donald Trump, two videos just released graphically illustrate how he hijacked the Republican Party and warn of what's ahead if he is reelected.

The Trump administration’s mail slowdown, which coincides with Trump’s warning that mail-in ballots won’t be delivered on time to be counted, has had a lot of other consequences that have nothing to do with politics. Like costing the lives of thousands of baby chicks. You’ll hear all about that in today’s podcast, along with some thoughts from fellow blogger Dennis Hill, who wonders what parents w...

We’re going to start off today with a quick commercial – it’s for our new book, Hijacked Nation…Donald Trump’s attack on America’s greatness. We’re having a really cool countdown sale starting Monday, August 24, when the price of the digital edition will drop from $9.99 to $5.99 – a 41 percent savings. But you gotta act fast, because on Tuesday it’ll go up a buck, then another buck on Wednesday an...

With more than 173 thousand dead from the coronavirus – another one just was recorded as I write this – Donald Trump spent much of yesterday acting like a child…whining that the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company won’t allow employees to wear MAGA hats on the job. He was so obsessed by that fact that he told reporters he just might have Goodyear tires removed from the presidential limo and replaced wi...

The other day, Donald Trump predicted that he’ll win reelection and then claimed he’ll get another four years on top of that. Never mind that the Constitution doesn’t exactly allow that, or that he’s currently in the dumpster when compared to Joe Biden. And then, Michelle Obama played him like a Stradivarius when she threw back in his face his comment “It is what it is” when referring to the thous...

If the coronavirus has taught us one thing, it’s that Donald Trump would rather people die than he lose the election. With each passing day, he finds a new way to let people know how meaningless their lives are compared to his maintaining power. He's trying to attain this in several ways, as Chris Waldron writes in this blog from Not Fake News.biz. I’ll narrate. Take a listen to “Trump Stakes Re-e...

So Trump admits he’s trying to make it hard, if not impossible, for people to vote by mail. And today, the Postal Service has warned states that mail delays may result in ballots not arriving in time to be counted. If that isn’t trying to fix the election in advance, I don’t know what is. That’s the first part of tonight’s podcast from NFN Radio News. Part Two is from a blog by Chris Waldron on No...
