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...

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 this...

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. That’s the topic of tonight’s blog. So take a listen… to “They All Knew, but Then…” from Not Fake News.biz. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.s...

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...

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: https...

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,...
