POLITICO: Emails show unvarnished truth. The massive scale of the outbreak in U.S. was intentional, at least according to one top Trump appointee advising HHS ‘We want them infected’: Trump appointee demanded ‘herd immunity’ strategy, emails reveal politi.co/3gPXWaY
“There is no other way, we need to establish herd, & it only comes about allowing the non-high risk groups expose themselves to the virus. PERIOD" "Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle aged with no conditions...use them to develop herd...we want them infected"

JUST POSTED: The Trump administration is rushing to approve a final wave of large-scale mining and energy projects on federal lands, encouraged by investors who want to try to ensure the projects move ahead even after President-elect Biden takes office nytimes.com/2020/12/19/us/…
Let's take a look at some of these projects awaiting actions in the remaining weeks of Trump's tenure. MASSIVE mining projects on federal lands. First stop, ARIZONA. Sacred Native American lands now in a national forest are targeted for destruction to make way for a copper mine Image
Next stop SOUTH DAKOTA. Area near Black Hills planned for massive new uranium mine, on land also historically held by Native American tribe. Groundwater would be contaminated to extract the radioactive uranium. Image

An icon in the West (and a symbol of the accelerating death of coal in the US as a electric power source) is slated to come down Friday. As the former Navajo Generating Station implodes its smoke stacks. Once largest coal plant in the West. lakepowelllife.com/the-three-ngs-… via @kxazfm
Here is a story we did on the death of this plant--and the failed promise by President Trump to save the coal industry. I was at the plant early this year after it shutdown. Those are the smoke stacks that will be blown up Friday. nytimes.com/2020/10/05/us/…
A few photos I took (and one of me in the protective gear) during my tour of the plant. Was very weird being inside such a giant energy machine, gone dead.

America First Action--the pro Trump SuperPAC--is PRO Trump in more than the standard way. It supports him politically. It also pays him and his family personally---in a way. Look at this. (Stick with me, a lot of payments here)
MORE>>>The spending is effectively going into the pockets of Donald Trump and Eric and Don Jr and Ivanka (the kids own stakes in the hotel operating company too)
MORE>>What's exceptional here is it's not just big $$$ events America First Action holding at Trump HotelDC, which have to presume are fundraising events. (You got to spend money to make money?) It's small dollar spending too on hotel rooms, meals at BLT Prime steak, bar tabs etc

Supreme Court Rejects Texas Suit Challenging Biden's Victory @adamliptak nyti.ms/3480Vqa
"There will continue to be scattered litigation brush fires around the nation from Mr. Trump’s allies, but as a practical matter the Supreme Court’s action puts an end to any prospect that Mr. Trump will win in court what he lost at the polls."
Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska.

Imagine if one day, a president-elect of the USA decided to nominate as the Sec of Defense a member of the board of directors of one of the world's largest defense contractors, a company that makes and sells to the Pentagon all these things. That day is today.
