While We Were Distracted: Trump Does EVIL. EPA Rejects Ban On Common Pesticide Linked to Brain Damage in Children. WHAT??? Are they trying to raise up more Republicans?

Once Again, the Failed Trump Administration has taken an action that proves that they believe "CORPORATE PROFITS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE'S HEALTH."

~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~

The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday said it would not ban chlorpyrifos, a pesticide used for killing insects, citing a lack of scientific evidence and drawing ire from environmental groups that say it could cause harm to the children of women who are exposed to the pesticide when pregnant. 

While the agency banned the indoor use of chlorpyrifos in 2000, the chemical is still widely used in the agricultural industry to protect crops, especially corn, from insects. The pesticide, which is produced by Corteva, an agricultural chemical company formerly part of DowDuPont, and goes by the brand names Dursban and Lorsban, is also regularly used on golf courses to kill worms, fire ants and other bugs.

Headline: EPA expands use of pesticide that can be toxic to bees. https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/12/politics/epa-expands-pesticide-sulfoxaflor-bees/index.html

The EPA will require a statement on product labels that says: "This product is highly toxic to bees and other pollinating insects exposed to direct treatment or to residues in/on blooming crops or weeds. Protect pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and reduce pesticide risk to these organisms." BUT BEES CAN'T READ!
But critics are hammering what they see as the Trump administration's disregard for the threatened bee population.
"The Trump EPA's reckless approval of this bee-killing pesticide ... without any public process is a terrible blow to imperiled pollinators," Lori Ann Burd, a Center for Biological Diversity director and senior attorney, told CNN on Friday.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
