The Lean to the Left Podcast

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...

What a jokester Donald Trump is! He’s a real stand up comic, isn’t he! Every time this man opens his trap and says something stupid and gets ridiculed and criticized, either he or his ass-kissing staff claim it was just a joke. Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron calls him out on this in today’s podcast. Take a listen to “No Laughing Matter” from Not Fake News.biz. Become a supporter of this podcas...

For now, the "dreamers" are safe thanks to the June 18 U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of the Trump administrations effort to scuttle the Obama administration program designed to protect from deportation the children of illegal immigrants who were brought to America when they were kids. In its ruling, which affects nearly 650,000 young immigrants across the nation, the court said Trump’s order endi...

Welcome to 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. It becomes more evident every day that President Trump’s strategy for reelection is to once again divide Americans, to play on the latent fears and prejudices that he apparently believes will return him to the White House. It seems that not a day goes b...

With the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the subsequent outrage that has resulted, President Trump is now promoting himself as the Law and Order president even as he claims to have done more than any president in history for black Americans. As Stacy Fitzgerald says in today’s podcast, Trump is betting on black fear. It is a cynical, deliberate effort to stoke the emotions of hi...

It was a rough week for the crazy man who lives in the White House and pretends to be a dictator instead of the president. Not sure he even knows the difference. But he had a tough time with the Supreme Court and a U.S. District Court where he lost on all counts. Bad stuff is coming out of the Bolton book, and who knows where that will lead, and even the FDA shot down his favorite coronavirus drug...

In a surprise decision that was welcomed by nearly 650,000 young immigrants across the country, the U.S. Supreme Court on June 18 rejected the Trump administration’s effort to toss out the program that protects undocumented immigrants brought to America as children…today, known as “dreamers.”The 5-4 decision, written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., was a blow to Trump who, since September 20...

Donald Trump, impeached for seeking election help from Ukraine, also asked China for help, says former White House Security Advisor John Bolton in his new book…you know, the one Trump is trying to keep from being distributed. According to Bolton, Trump told Chinese President Xi that if China would purchase more U.S. agricultural products it would boost his chances for re-election. So it wasn’t jus...

Yesterday the New York Times reported that Vice President Mike Pence told governors in a phone call that really, the coronavirus is under control, and that increased numbers of cases is just because more testing is being done. And then, he said the economy is booming back and everything is fine. He fed them the party line because Trump is desperate to at least make people think that it’s all good,...

If there’s one thing Donald Trump both loves, and loves to hate, it’s numbers. Poll numbers, economic numbers, stock market numbers and, of course, crowd size numbers. When it comes to numbers, Trump is quick to embrace the positive while assigning blame to the negative. Trump is absolutely obsessed with numbers. Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron takes a look at that in today’s podcast, Playing t...

No longer, when you visit Washington, DC and take a look at the White House, do you see an open expanse of lawn leading up to this historic building, named The People’s House by President Obama. Today, it is surrounded by an ugly fence erected to keep protesters of the George Floyd police murder as far away as possible. It turns the White House into a fortified bunker, which, no doubt, suits Donal...

Since his election, President Trump has had an obsession of trying to wipe out as many initiatives of President Barack Obama as he can. It’s an effort that just seems never to stop. His latest…and once again, harmful, step to do this came last week when his administration announced that it would overturn an Obama-era rule that provides nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people in health care...

President Trump met the other day with his pal, Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, to discuss strategies for holding on to the Senate in the November 3 general election. Seems they’re worried that with Trump plummeting in the polls these days that Republicans could well be in danger of losing Senate control. After all, Democrats only need a net gain of three seats to take over if Trump loses a...
