Transcript: Read the full Biden interview with Lester Holt on NBC News 07/17/2024

A few days back, Joe Biden did a televised interview with Lester Holt. He did pretty well improvising the entire time. It confirmed for me that Holt, like most of the rest of the mainstream media, is pretty much out to get Biden. Here's the transcript as well as the video. My take? Screw the MSM, which increasingly seems to be allies to the Trump campaign for right wing fascism.

Transcript: Read the full Biden interview with Lester Holt on NBC News President Joe Biden sat down for an interview with NBC News anchor Lester Holt.

How Far Trump Would Go 05/01/2024

In a Time Magazine interview, Trump confirms that if re-elected, he would be a fascist dictator: removing abortion rights, putting millions of immigrants in camps or deporting them, replacing tens of thousands of civil servants with loyalists, having DOJ attack his opponents, and more. Please donate and volunteer for Biden and all Democratic candidates.

How Far Trump Would Go In exclusive interviews, the former President lays out a second-term agenda that would reshape America

The NY Times is clearly supporting MAGA fascism by focusing on the despicable and phony narrative of Biden's age while minimizing Trump's dementia and normalizing his many evil, sociopathic statements. They gave more coverage to the Superbowl than Trump's statement that he would abandon our NATO allies and invite Russia to invade. They have failed us! Cancel the NY Times, and let them know.

FHGT volunteer project on Saturday, October 21 to clean up the tree pits on Metropolitan Avenue, with Metro Village of Forest Hills. Mark Laster recruited students from FH And Archbishop Molloy High Schools. Dan Miner led the crew in weeding and aerating the tree pits.

Opinion: Mayor Adams, Don't Weaken Local Law 97 10/02/2023

Opinion: Mayor Adams, Don't Weaken Local Law 97 "About 70 percent of New York City’s climate-heating pollution comes from energy use in buildings, with the majority of that pollution coming from large buildings covered by Local Law 97."

Opinion: Mayor Adams, Don't Weaken Local Law 97 10/02/2023

Mayor Adams carries out the wishes of the big real estate interests who funded him, by proposing to weaken and delay LL97, NYC's literally world class municipal program requiring large buildings to conserve energy, save money, and cut their contribution to the climate crisis. Shame!

What If New Yorkers Stopped Subsidizing Fossil Fuel Infrastructure? - Hell Gate 08/21/2023

FHGT helped organize the NY Heat Act ice cream giveaway in Queens, to promote legislation that would "both cap energy bills and stop ratepayers from having their money used to expand fossil fuel infrastructure. It also contains several provisions that would effectively kneecap the use of fossil fuels for home heating in the state, and lead to the electrification that New York needs to reach its 2040 climate goals." Hat tip to FHGT member Eric Arnum in the pic, in the yellow shirt.

Jimmy Carter Reflects the Best of America 02/20/2023

Carter understood the climate crisis back in the 1970s. He set out a path for us to respond to it. Reagan treasonously cut a secret deal with the Iranians to prolong the hostage crisis, depriving us of Carter's reelection.

Jimmy Carter Reflects the Best of America Jimmy Carter was the finest president of my lifetime, perhaps one of the four best presidents in American history behind Roosevelt, Lincoln & Washington. When he passes, America will be the poorer...
