Bernie Sanders Wants Americans To Fight Climate Change Not Each Other
Quote:
Senator Bernie Sanders wants Americans to come together to fight climate change instead of spending our time and money elsewhere as the world burns.
Trump and Netanyahu between them banned Democratic members of Congress from visiting Israel. Senator Bernie Sanders dropped by with his views.
Medicare For All is resonating strongly across the US. We are spending twice the amount of money on healthcare than any other country to the extent of $11,000 per person, per year. Why? The insurance business and their profiteering.
Bernie Sanders proposed the Medicare for All Bill, to bring our heath care under control. MCA will cap the amount of money spent on prescription drugs. The Republicans won’t support that as they continue to push for profits over people.
Climate change and Congress: if we don’t get those together in the next eleven years, the damage to the planet could be irreversible. Trump denies climate change, preferring to spend billions on military projects, where it should be spent reducing the use of fossil fuels.
Senator Bernie Sanders joined Thom for a mini ‘Brunch with Bernie’.

How A New Cold War With Russia Could Spiral Into Nuclear Catastrophe!
Quote:
Thom reads from the Russia Trap: How a New Cold War with Russia Could Spiral into Nuclear Catastrophe!
“A must read for anyone who cares about our nation's security in these cyber-serious, hair-trigger times.” – Susan Eisenhower
Every American president since the end of the Cold War has called for better relations with Russia. But each has seen relations get worse by the time he left office. Now the two countries are facing off in a virtual war being fought without clear goals or boundaries.
Why? Many say it is because Washington has been slow to wake up to Russian efforts to destroy democracy in America and the world.
But a former head of Russia analysis at the CIA says that this misunderstands the problem. George Beebe argues that new game-changing technologies, disappearing rules of the game, and distorted perceptions on both sides are combining to lock Washington and Moscow into an escalatory spiral that they do not recognize. All the pieces are in place for a World War I-type tragedy that could be triggered by a small, unpredictable event. The Russia Trap shows that anticipating this danger is the most important step in preventing it.

Just How Dangerous Is Fracking?
Quote:
Is there any way fracking can be done safely, for both humans and the environment?
Newly published reports show that not even the strongest regulations can ... make fracking any safer for the environment or for wildlife or people.
Fracking can be used for both oil and gas and is an industrialized process. Fracking blasts a lot of water and chemicals underground, with hundreds of trucks bring in materials. Fracking is very expensive, and the industry is barely covering its costs. It isn’t always economic to transport the gas produced by fracking and it is burned off, making the whole process pointless while destroying the surface of the ground and deep down.
What are the risks of fracking to people who live close-by?
There are concerns with water and the water table becoming contaminated with chemicals. Wastewater can sometimes be dumped into streams, which could impact drinking water and wildlife.
