The Attack on PBS and NPR
In Santa Barbara County, where 2GreenEnergy “headquarters” makes its home, PBS and NPR are hardly under threat. We at “2GE” make regular monthly contributions to the local affiliates of both, and those organizations have money coming out their ears from like-minded listeners and viewers. The criminal insanity of the Trump administration could no more shut us off from quality information and entertainment than it could put out a wildfire with a squirt gun.
Now, go 30 miles inland from here, or head out into any of the other rural areas of the nation, and that cash simply doesn’t exist. That’s why it’s Americans farm country that may soon be left in an information desert.
But isn’t that exactly what Republicans want? Is there anyone stupid enough to believe that the Trump administration wants kind and well informed people in the voting booth?
Let’s imagine that the assertion at left is true–even the most extreme version. There are astrophysicists who believe that the universe in which we live that began 13.7 billion years ago is just one of an endless number of universes that come into being, expand, contract, and implode, only to give rise to the next.

The “Other 98%” reports: Trump is literally sabotaging America’s booming Clean Energy industry for his billionaire oil-tycoon donors.
Dissenters against autocrats in Hungary, Serbia, and Turkey see the same “democratic backsliding” in the U.S. “Americans think this is something that also only happens to others,” said an opponent of Hungary’s Viktor Orban. “That mindset has to be fought.”
As I mentioned in the earlier post, it appears that, miraculously, the Epstein scandal may be the undoing of Donald Trump’s second presidency.
If we progressives had been asked a month ago if there were something–anything–that might come along and bust up the love affair between MAGA and Trump, we would have said no.
It’s true that history’s “good guys” have never built concentration camps. Nor have they banned books, degraded public education, deliberately ruined the environment, removed human rights, or allowed their leaders to commit crimes.
We all understand that the Trump administration is working its hardest to punish the people who happen to live in states that voted against the president, but isn’t there a limit to the cruelty and dishonesty that we have shoved down our throats on a daily basis?
Well, if you’re a full-on QAnon nut-job, the answer is obvious: everything you’re told by our scientists is a hoax designed to make you sick, destroy American capitalism, whatever.
