Below, environmentalist Zan Dubin, whom I highly respect, makes a point not too dissimilar to what I’ve often said about the failure of the media to cover Biden’s accomplishments, especially those pertaining to climate change mitigation and adaptation. She writes:
A small minority of Americans know about the historic contribution the Biden Admin has made to fighting climate change. Please take one fact here and keep talking about it. Here are some juicy points:
In his first term, Joe Biden has done more to address climate change than any President before him. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) alone is expected to wipe out 21 billion tons of planet-warming pollution between now and 2050. For comparison, that’s 73 times more emissions than the infamous Willow Project will emit over the same period. It’s like canceling out the emissions from the entire country of India for a decade.
Trump talked a lot about bringing manufacturing back to America and creating blue-collar jobs. But under Biden, manufacturing investment has grown faster than at any time in recent history thanks largely to the IRA. During Trump’s presidency, manufacturing spending grew by 5%. Under Biden, it has grown by 279%.
For decades, environmental advocates have tried to convince lawmakers to pass even the most marginal climate policies. And they’ve failed. It wasn’t until Biden took office that the logjam broke and the climate policies flowed. Since then, America has experienced remarkable progress.

Sure, there have been many other people who have lived according to the beliefs expressed here by philosopher and American revolutionary Thomas Paine, but their numbers don’t begin to compare with those who think of themselves as patriots of the country of their birth and adherents to the religion they were assigned by their parents.

What a terrible shame. It’s easy to imagine a world of peace and harmony, but it sure seems an incredible challenge to get there. This is especially true today, on a planet that is increasingly led by fascist dictators, and a population where ignorance, nationalism, and hate is heating up by the day.

Virtually all top-ranking retired military brass view Trump as shown at left.  On top of that, Hegseth has publicly fired all current generals and admirals who are not loyal to Trump, as the entire world watched the purge.

Doesn’t this affect the way the psychopath’s command of our nation is ultimately determined?
