Despicable Hurricane Disinformation of Donald Trump & Marjorie Taylor Greene

This post is about the misinformation that Republicans are spreading in light of recent disasters.

Two of the deadliest hurricanes have swept through Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, East Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia and then through Florida, again.

Millions of Floridians were displaced by one of the fiercest storms of the century to strike the west coast of the state. I saw some of the displaced people as they escaped Hurricane Milton to Atlanta and beyond.

Life in our warming world is becoming more dangerous.   Many have been forced to flee their homes two times in the past month. They know that hurricanes are part of life living where they do. One person wrote that her house has been demolished three times by hurricanes before Milton came roaring into the St Petersburg-Tampa Bay shoreline cities.

First responders’ rescue efforts are planned by folks who take their life-saving work seriously. During these disasters, people in need look for help from first responders and the local, state, and federal governments.

But lurking in the bushes are two despicable climate liars, Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We are Not.

101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We Are Not. Germany had suffered the trauma of defeat in World War I. Significantly, there were plots to bring down German democracy. Donald Trump thinks he’s a “strongman.” He certainly utters some of the words used by dictators and strongmen. But Trump is not A strongman. He desperately wants to be. He is weak and old. Trump may be a weak strongman, but he is a dangerous wanna-be dictator. If he were elected, he would surely undermine and attempt to dismantle democratic guard rails. He’s a convicted felon and shouldn’t be president

Science in the Age of Trump: Let’s Not Let it Happen Again!

Science in the age of Trump was diminished at the peril of the health and well-being for not only people and other living things, but Earth itself, including its air, water, land, and other natural resources. Let’s not let it ever happen again. Trump must be defeated in November. Science was attacked hundreds of times during the Trump years, and the effects were detrimental not only to science, but to the very nature of democracy.

Donald Trump’s Dangerous Rhetoric is Fueling Political Violence

The provocative rhetoric of figures like Donald Trump and J.D. Vance has significantly shaped the political landscape in recent months. Donald Trump, as we all recall, instigated a violent attack on the nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021, resulting in his second impeachment and two indictments charged by the U.S. Justice Department and the District Attorney of Fulton County, Ga.

Trump’s speeches and social media posts often contain inflammatory language that can incite strong reactions among their supporters. This rhetoric has contributed to a climate where political violence is increasingly seen as a viable means of expressing discontent. Understanding the impact of his words and media posts is crucial in analyzing the broader implications for political stability and public safety.
