7/3/18: E.P.A. Administrator Scott Pruitt continues to lead in the race to be declared the worst cabinet member since Albert B. Fall, Secretary of the Interior and brains behind the Teapot Dome Scandal.
See 1923 for details.
Leaked information from congressional investigations shows Pruitt routinely used aides paid for by “We, the People,” to schedule personal travel and run errands. He continued to spend lavishly on travel even after E.P.A. officials warned him. He asked an aide to violate federal law and call around to political groups that might like knowing they had a friend at the E.P.A. And, hey, could they find a job for his lovely wife, Marilyn? He thought a starting salary of $200,000 sounded about right.
For some odd reason, Pruitt routinely asked aides to put
charges for his hotel rooms on their credit cards when they traveled.

IN ALABAMA, Randy Johnson takes heart, knowing Donald Trump will fight and win the “War on Coal.” Having retired from the coal mining business in 2014, Mr. Johnson, 71, decides coal is back!
He spends $2.7 million on a 220-ton excavator, buys up an available tract of land, and starts fresh, mining once again. His 22 employees paint “Trump” in white block letters on the side of the new machine and Trump (the machine, not the golfing fool in the White House) goes to work.
In a recent letter to the White House, Johnson wrote the president appreciatively, “We know you ‘get it’ and you love America and coal miners. Keep fighting for us and we will stand with you.”
This blogger realizes that good people can have good reasons to vote for Trump. For example, you believe he’ll save the industry that employs you. Coal mining, obviously.
This does not mean climate change is a hoax; and anyone who
says it is – such as our president – is a nitwit.
(By year’s end, 2018 will rank as the fourth hottest year, globally, ever. The top three,
in order: 2016, 2015, 2017.)
