Fighter for the Environment

Written by Jack Hassard

On December 15, 2019

Greta Thunberg is the embodiment of youth activism.  Thunberg’s youth activism is underscored by a reliance on “the science.”  She points the finger at government and corporate leaders, to stop and to listen to the science.  She is a fighter for the environment.

Time Magazine has named her Person of the Year.

This blog celebrates her for her enduring fight against human forces that have resisted her activism.  Many simply dismiss her as another young person who means well, but doesn’t know what she is talking about.  Others claim that she is simply a pawn in other people’s motives to disrupt society.

But here’s the deal.  She is the real deal.  Her passion is clear.  But her knowledge about climate change is clearer.  And she knows what leaders have to do to prevent a calamity of the climate threat.

I know she wants you to listen to the science.  But I’d like you to listen to her.

President Biden and His Predecessor in Georgia

President Biden and His Predecessor in Georgia

On Saturday, March 9th, Joe Biden and his predecessor visited Georgia a few days before the March 12 primary. In Georgia, the media appears to treat President Biden and his predecessor as equals in the 2024 presidential race. But they are not—not by a long shot. The media is replicating how they covered the 2020 presidential race. This is a failure of the free press to discern the real difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate, who happens to be President of the United States. The Republican candidate sought to stay in office in 2020 by staging a coup on January 6th, 2021. He lost the election by 7 million votes and still to this day, claims the Big Lie that the other side stole the election from him. Millions of Americans believe this, also. This is the underlying context that the press forgets to mention. The predecessor spent for years while sitting in the White House chipping away at the guard rails of democracy. Thankfully he was an under achieving autocrat.
