I really want someone to post video of some of the poor, rural white areas in Mitch McConnell’s state. I will apologize in advance to any Kentucky peas. Kentucky, home to Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell ranks 45th for high school graduates, 47th for college graduates, 20th in school rankings, the 6th poorest state in the nation, 5th in the nation for opiode deaths, 8th in the nation for overall drug problems, and 5th in the nation for teen pregnancies. Some fine work being done by them in their own state. @fred here it is..............

This is what Moscow Mitch has been up to!! Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is stepping up calls for a national security review of a Russian aluminum company's plans for a mill in Kentucky, the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R), calling the project "deeply concerning."“Rusal’s proposed investment in a Kentucky rolling mill is deeply concerning," Wyden said in a statement Wednesday. "The deal was announced just three months after the Senate voted to lift sanctions on Rusal, and now we learn that Majority Leader McConnell’s former staff have been lobbying for the project. The American people need to have confidence that this deal is in the country’s best interest." Wyden called for a probe by a federal agency which reviews the national security implications of foreign deals in June but is ramping up those calls after a report that two former McConnell staffers lobbied Congress and the Treasury Department on the project. Hunter Bates and Brendan Dunn, both of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, lobbied on the development by the Russian aluminum company Rusal, Politico reported Wednesday. Rusal is owned by a Putin-connected Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska. The aluminum plant would be in Ashland, Ky., in partnership with a local company, Braidy Industries.** Deripaska faces U.S. sanctions, but Rusal won sanctions relief from the Treasury Department and it announced in May that its board approved a $200 million investment, The New York Times reported at the time. The project in Kentucky has brought scrutiny from Democrats, who have been calling on the Trump administration to review Rusal’s investment into the project over concerns about Russian influence. McConnell was asked on May 7 about advocating for Rusal to be removed from the sanctions list.
“Well, the administration took the position, and I talked to the secretary of the Treasury about it, that the conditions that they thought needed to be met were met,” McConnell responded.** “This news is just the latest in a series of damning reports this year about Senator McConnell’s pay-to-play corruption and self-serving interests in Washington, where he is now blocking bipartisan efforts to secure our elections and refuses to answer for the mounting questions about who he’s actually working for,” Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Stewart Boss told The Hill.** thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/455628-dems-want-answers-from-mcconnell-over-the-approval-of-a-russian-backed

There are those who support trump because he is pro business. This is an example of trump being pro business.
Newsweek...
“EPA WANTS COAL PLANTS TO USE MORE ARSENIC-LADEN WASTE THAT COULD POLLUTE WATER, ACTIVISTS WARN: 'A DISGRACE TO EVERYTHING THE EPA STANDS FOR'
“The Environmental Protection Agency filed a new proposal on Tuesday which would scrap restrictions on the use of arsenic-loaded waste from coal power plants, raising fears among environmental groups that water and food supplies may be contaminated.
Coal ash is left over after the fossil fuel is burned in power plants. It is full of many dangerous substances, including arsenic, which can cause serious health problems if allowed to leak into water supplies.
Coal ash has several industrial uses, hence the EPA's decision to try and ease restrictions on the waste. It is largely used as a replacement for soil, employed in construction projects or as a protective cover over hazardous landfill sites.
An EPA statement said the "sensible changes" would encourage "beneficial use" of coal ash. This term is used to describe new uses for what would otherwise be industrial waste, The Hill explained.
The changes would lift restrictions, introduced in 2015, limiting coal ash use to 12,400 tons per site. Currently, if a user exceeds this limit, they must conduct an environmental demonstration. The EPA now wants to replace the limit with location-based criteria to inform the decision as to how much coal ash can be used.
The new proposal would only require users to file a demonstration showing that the project won't cause harm if it is close to water supplies, for example groundwater or wetlands. Once that is approved, they will be able to use as much coal ash as they please.
But if such demonstrations prove insufficient, the EPA proposal raises the possibility of coal ash-related toxins leaking into water and contaminating surrounding areas.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said the proposed changes "will further responsible management of coal ash while protecting human health and the environment."
Environmental groups disagree. Lisa Evans, senior counsel for the Earthjustice non-profit, said: "Despite compelling and damning scientific evidence highlighting the harm to groundwater from coal ash, and court victories by community groups requiring the EPA to strengthen the 2015 rule, Wheeler is giving this gift to his former employers at the cost of public health.
"It is a disgrace to everything the EPA stands for, and we will do everything in our power to stop it," Evans said in a joint statement from Earthjustice and the Sierra Club.
The statement described the proposal as part of the EPA's "ongoing effort to gut landmark safeguards that protect public health and the environment from toxic coal ash pollution by weakening safeguards for coal ash piles and sites where coal ash is placed on or beneath the ground."
Evans told The Hill that the location-based criteria proposed by the EPA "doesn't have to be defended to any regulatory agency or be posted for public notice or be written by any engineer or environmental professional… You've got a fairly meaningless demo having to be created."
Lisa Hallowell, the senior attorney at the Environmental Integrity Project, said the proposal was "clearly a political move." She said the EPA "in a deep bow to industry's wishes," is trying to lift "safeguards meant to protect nearby residents from contamination and lifting the floodgates for more coal ash to be dumped in an unsafe way."
Arsenic is one of the most potent toxic elements contained in coal ash. According to Physicians for Social Responsibility—the largest U.S. physician-led organization working to protect the public from environmental toxins and other threats—high doses of arsenic can cause bladder cancer, skin cancer, kidney cancer and lung cancer.
Long-term exposure to the element can lead to death. And even at low doses, arsenic exposure can cause cause irregular heartbeats, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, peripheral neuropathy and vision impairment.

"Those eager for the start of an official inquiry by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee into the possible impeachment of President Trump need wait no longer. A memorandum, submitted by the committee on July 26 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and signed by the general counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives, makes clear that such an inquiry has begun. The memorandum is in support of an application for access to all redactions of grand jury material in the Mueller report, in grand jury materials referenced in the report, and to any grand jury testimony or material directly related to four topics. The topics include the president’s knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election, links and contacts of his associates directly or indirectly with Russia, and criminal acts by anyone associated with his administration or campaign." thehill.com/opinion/white-house/455180-an-impeachment-inquiry-has-begun

Steve Bennett...
”Jobs created in the first 30 months of Trump's presidency: 5.74 million
Jobs created in the last 30 months of Obama's presidency: 6.61 million
Still no word from the White House on why job growth has slowed since Trump took office.”
Does anyone who makes the claim the economy is sooo much better under trump like to explain this little fact? I mean if the economy was sooo much better under trump then when Obama was president, I would think it would be the opposite.
Oh that’s right, trump is pro business that he practices by finding ways to poison the air and the water.

This is what the SNAP cuts do to NJ! ** More than 1 in 11 New Jerseyans now receiving food stamps could lose those benefits because the federal government says they make too much money. About 68,000 residents could be thrown off the program under President Donald Trump’s administration to cut the program’s costs, according to the state’s Department of Human Services. There were 695,964 food stamp recipients in New Jersey as of April, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ** As it did in trying to roll back parts of the Affordable Care Act after Congress failed to repeal the law, the Trump administration moved ahead after Congress rejected House GOP efforts to make changes to the food stamp program that would have taken benefits away from 35,000 New Jersey residents. “What Trump can’t get through Congress they’re doing administratively,” said Ray Castro, health policy director for New Jersey Policy Perspective, a progressive research group. Castro likened this latest proposal to the Republican tax law, where the Trump administration targeted only some states when it capped the federal deduction for state and local taxes. “This is an incredibly cruel policy,” Castro said. “They just don’t care. All they care about is saving the money to pay for the tax cuts.”The reductions would cost the state $33 million, according to the Department of Human Services. There’s also an economic hit, because that $33 million won’t be spent buying food in New Jersey grocery stores. And if families no longer qualify for food stamps, their children won’t qualify for free school breakfasts and lunches, Castro said.Almost 268,000 children in the state received free or reduced-price meals during the 2017-18 school year, according to the Food Research and Action Center, an advocacy group trying to end poverty-related hunger. ** www.nj.com/politics/2019/07/heres-how-many-new-jerseyans-would-lose-food-stamps-under-trump-proposal.htmlMy mom's (NY) were cut from $194 (for 1 disabled widow) to $34/mo, over a year ago!!! She's barely buying food now. She has no income or assets so I don't know how they could cut it so much. In FL, they cut ours in 1/2 over a year ago. They're slowly doing this to everyone on SNAP.
