Rump Lies, Hypocrisy Know No Bounds
By
Manifesto Joe Resident Donald Rump declared this week "Made in America"
week, again showcasing the lies and hypocrisy on which his entire
political career has been built. In his alternative universe, Obama was
born in Kenya, a record crowd attended his inauguration and at least 3
million people voted illegally in the 2016 presidential election. Now he
has the nerve to declare "Made in America"

I'd say it's a chance he's never deserved. No, he's not the first liar
we've seen in the White House. The Clintons were not exactly on great

A new, large-scale field study is underscoring what we know from
previous research : neonicotinoid pesticides are harmful to bees. And

canola/rapeseed is of particular concern for both managed honey bees and
native pollinators. Published in Science in late June, this study is
the first long-term field study to assess real-worl
Pruitt's pesticide problem
I wonder if EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt thought no one would notice

If so, he was in for quite a surprise. It turns out a lot of folks are

Congress steps up where EPA failed
Earlier this week I had a chance to be on Capitol Hill in Washington,
DC when legislation was introduced to ban chlorpyrifos . If these bills
become law, millions of children and workers in the U.S. and around the
