When Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump last November, one of the first thoughts that went through my mind was that the battle against the environment that Trump waged for four years would be over.

That the U.S. would once again join the fight against climate change, that Biden would pull back Trump’s most egregious executive orders that tried to wipe out efforts by the Obama administration to protect our air and our water.

So, it was heartening to see some of the first public comments made by Biden’s new EPA administrator, Michael Regan, who said the agency will do exactly that.
Here’s my take on that as published on Not Fake News.biz.

Here’s “Protecting the Environment is Back at EPA”. Take a listen.

-Protecting the Environment is Back at EPA

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 the Numbers. 

Take  Listen.

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, even though it’s not.

What came to mind was Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and his old line, “What Me Worry?”

That would be funny if it wasn’t so serious…in fact, deadly serious.  

That’s the topic of today’s podcast, so take a listen to “The Two Big Lies” from Not Fake News.biz.
