The Lean to the Left Podcast

Former Vice President Joe Biden has made history by selecting Sen. Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate. Everybody knows that. But Trump has wasted no time in attacking her. Everybody expected that. So tonight, our podcast presents immediate thoughts following Biden’s announcement and then commentary about Trump’s name calling afterwards. So take a listen to Vice President Kamala Ha...

Yesterday and today were banner days for Donald Trump’s duplicity, fakery and lies. It started at his posh resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he said he’d issue an executive order to protect pre-existing conditions. Uh, Obamacare already does that. Then, today, he issued some more executive orders, supposedly to provide $400 in emergency unemployment benefits for the coronavirus unemployed, p...

We’ve all speculated that Donald Trump would be perp walked out of the White House if he is defeated by Joe Biden, that he’d do anything possible to stay in power – despite the election results. Now, a bipartisan group of experts, playing an election year version of “War Games,” has issued a detailed report warning that is very much the case – that Trump will do everything possible – legal and ill...

Millions of Americans are stuck. They’ve got rent to pay. Mortgages to pay. And they have no money coming in because the coronavirus pandemic has cost them their jobs. They were getting a little help from the federal government, with a $600 per week check for extra unemployment benefits. But now that’s gone because the Republicans said it’s too much and Democrats are refusing to agree to lessBotto...

We all know that Donald Trump will stop at nothing to preserve his presidency. How many times has he floated that idea that he should be given a third term or even made president for life? There is no end to his ego, his greed, or his thirst for power. Now, he’s suggesting that the November 3rd election should be delayed because of the unreliability of postal delivery of mail-in ballots, which he...

I promised you guys some satire. Check this one out. It was like a hanging slider in the middle of the plate just waiting to be whacked. It comes from that crazy doctor, Stella Immanuel, who was part of that group of Trump supporting doctors who demonstrated against masking the other day outside the Supreme Court in Washington. Take a listen to “Demon Sperm Result: Donald J. Trump”. From Not Fake...

Today the egomaniac who is masquerading as president of the United States whined that an elderly epidemiologist who is the nation’s top infectious disease doctors has a higher approval rating than he does. That speaks volumes as to what is important to Donald Trump, and that’s the topic of today’s podcast. Take a listen to Waa…waa…waa…People Don’t Like Me.” Become a supporter of this podcast: http...

In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss President Trump’s apparent strategy of attempting to scare the American people into voting for him November 3.That’s apparent with his rhetoric in blaming Democratic city officials, and, indeed, Joe Biden, for crime and violence in urban centers, most of which are run by Democratic mayors. It’s further apparent with his deployment of federal law enforceme...

We’re going to cover a couple of topics in this episode…first my thoughts about the fact that finally some Republicans appear to be abandoning Donald Trump on some key issues…as they start to look out for themselves as Trump dives in the polls. Then I’ll bring you commentary by Chris Waldron expressing concern about Operation Warp Speed and the Trump administration’s headlong rush to find a corona...

Chief Harold “Buster” Hatcher of the Waccamaw Indian People in South Carolina is waging a persistent war to gain recognition for his people, saying that they, like Native Americans across the nation, are virtually “invisible.”“I don’t think anybody should have to be ‘recognized’ to have the rights guaranteed in the Constitution,” he says. “It doesn’t say in the Constitution ‘unless you’re an India...

America lost a true fighter for civil rights when Rep. John L. Lewis, the Georgia Democrat, succumbed to his long battle with cancer. Lewis spent his life battling for voting rights for all people, including people of color. He shed blood in this cause when he was just a young man, and he never stopped literally until the day he died. He fought hard so people of color could have the right to vote,...

I’ve got another two-fer for you tonight…right. A real BOGO from NFN radio news! First up is commentary written by Chris Waldron for Not Fake News.biz that talks about how a lot of people supported Trump in the 2016 election because the figured he’d run the country like a businessman. Well…Chris suggests that maybe they got more than they bargained for. Then will come my commentary about a coronav...

It doesn’t matter that nearly 135,000 Americans have died from covid 19 and that the caseload and death count continues to rise, Donald Trump and his idiot education secretary, Betsy DeVos, insist that schools need to reopen and that teachers and kids must be in the classroom. Trump doesn’t give a rats’ ass about kids being in school. What he cares about is creating the impression that everything...

Tonight I want to tell you about Hijacked Nation. What’s that? Sounds like something Trump’s done since he’s been in office. Well, that’s what we thought at Not Fake News.biz, so we pulled together hundreds of blogs that tell the story of what this man has done to America. We put them together in a book called Hijacked Nation that’s now available on Kindle for $9.95. A two-set paperback version wi...

There’s been a lot of speculation from time to time that if Donald Trump is defeated on November 3, he’ll refuse to leave the White House and will have to be perp-walked out to his limo by a bunch of armed Capitol police officers. What a vision! Would that it happens! But apparently there is a way that Trump could hang on to the presidency even if he’s defeated. It sounds far-fetched, but take a l...

Why is it that so many people refuse to wear face coverings when they are out in public? What’s up with that? Don’t they understand that covid 19 is deadly and that it spreads easily from one person to another? And that you don’t have to be sick to infect other people if they get too close to you? Or that they could infect you? Anymore, when I go to the store, wearing my mask, and I look at the pe...

One thing’s for sure, it hasn’t been a slow news day today. The coronavirus task force held a briefing, Trump’s on a rampage to open schools, an important figure in the Ukrainian fiasco retired, tired of Trump’s bullying, Tucker Carlson called war hero and Senator Tammy Duckworth a coward, while Trump called Confederate traitors “heroes.”Something is really screwed up and backwards in this country...

Today it was announced that Donald Trump’s administration has formally notified the World Health Organization that the U.S. will withdraw from that important international body effective next July. He’s doing that, I guess, because his gut tells him to and he thinks his America First faithful might think it’s a good idea and show what a tough guy he is. Well, the action is irresponsible – would be...

In today’s podcast, Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron comments about the announcement from billionaire rapper Kanye West that he’s running for president, a cynical move to syphon off votes from African Americans that otherwise would go to Joe Byden. It’s a desperate attempt to help Trump, who’s in deep doo doo with most of the African American community. What Chris doesn’t mention in his piece is...

In our last podcast, Traitor Trump, we talked about how Donald Trump keeps lambasting China, blaming the mounting covid-19 deaths in the U.S. on China, calling the coronavirus the “Kung Flu.” We said he’s trying to divert attention from his own inept response to the pandemic that’s devestating our country. We said he’s doing it to divert attention to China when his ties to Russia and Vladimir Puti...

Hey, thanks for connecting with today's podcast from NFN Radio News brought to you by Not Fake News.biz. I’m your host, Bob Gatty, founder and editor of Not Fake News. You know, Donald Trump keeps lambasting China, blaming the mounting deaths in the U.S. on China, calling the coronavirus the “Kung Flu,” much to the joy of his racist faithful, turning China into a whipping boy so he can divert atte...

I’ve got another two-for for you…two more great blogs by Chris Waldron of Not Fake News.biz. First, in “Donny Can’t Read,” Chris talks about the dangers of Donald Trump ignoring the intelligence reports regularly prepared for him by the heads of our intelligence agencies. I gotta ask you…how intelligent is that? What kind of president would ignore those reports – especially when they reveal that a...

Hey, I’ve got a two-for for you…First, it’s about Trump’s denials that he knew that Russia had put a hit on American troops in Afghanistan and was paying a bounty to Taliban-linked militants for killing our soldiers. Reliable reports say it was in Trump’s daily briefing months ago, but we all know what Trump does with those briefings. He ignores them. So Chris Waldron…in a blog on Not Fake News.bi...

Should statues of Confederate leaders and advocates of slavery and racism be removed in America? Amidst the push for societal reform sparked by the murder of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, and countless other victims of police brutality and systemic racism, protesters as well as local governments have called for the removal of various monuments. Many of these monuments depict Confederate leaders an...

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting sick and tired of going out to the store and having to deal with idiots not wearing face masks. What? They think they are immune from catching the coronavirus? They don’t think they could possibly be infected because they don’t feel sick, so no worries, it’s all good? Well, it’s NOT all good. Today, five states set daily highs for new cases and the U.S. pass...
