A Troubling Reality Of The Trump Era

On Monday, the New York Times reported that President-elect Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. has accepted a job with an investment firm called 1789 Capital. The Times described the firm as focused on “products and companies aimed at conservative audiences.” Indeed, the firm funds right-wing TV host Tucker Carlson’s media company.

At an event late last week in Arizona, anti-vaccine activist and Donald Trump transition team member Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he’d fire and replace 600 people from the National Institutes of Health on “day one” of a second Trump term. The NIH is one of the public health agencies Kennedy loathes the most—and despite still lacking any defined role in a new administration, he’s clearly relishing the opportunity to promise retribution against them.

Another insurrectionist election denier now has a prominent job in Trump's administration. Former Congressman Lee Zeldin was tapped to oversee the Environmental Protection Agency. God help us. Fox News host Martha McCallum claimed the EPA is the enemy to big business, which is a joke. Without rules and regulations trying to keep in check massive corporations, multitudes of Americans would be dead, diseased, infected or damaged in some way. ZELDIN: Through the EPA, we have the ability to pursue energy dominance, to be able to make the United States the artificial intelligence capital of the world, to bring back American jobs to the auto industry, and so much more. President Trump cares about conserving the environment. As you just mentioned in that statement from him, his desire to ensure access to clean air, clean water, it was a top priority. Trump has repeatedly claimed there's no point getting chemicals out of our air since China doesn't care about it. Environmental protects are out the window.

One of the oldest conspiracy and 'black helicopter' frauds is now facing the hand of the law. Alex Jones is reaping what he sowed. During a portion of his Info Wars program, Alex Jones lamented over how his show is being stripped and sold off after a just verdict against him for his lies about Sandy Hook victims and their families. A verdict he described as a "Nazi show trial." Sucks to be you, Alex.

President-elect Donald Trump is starting to fill key posts in his second administration, putting an emphasis so far on aides and allies who were his strongest backers during the 2024 campaign. Here’s a look at who he’s selected so far. Susie Wiles watches as Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Lititz, Pa., Sunday, Nov.

Wow! The man we need to the giant monster problem Joe Biden brought.
