In a supposed conversation between acclaimed authors F. Scott Fitzgerald
and Ernest Hemingway regarding the often eccentric behavior of rich
people, Fitzgerald reportedly said: "The rich are different from you and
me." Hemingway replied: "Yes, they have more money."
They may have more money, but they do not necessarily have better
judgment.
Take former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg, for
instance. He just announced that he is going to donate $500 million to
help close all remaining U.S. coal plants.
COAL INDUSTRY RESPONDS TO BLOOMBERG's $500M PLEDGE TO CLOSE ALL US COAL
PLANTS
Another way to read that pledge, of course, is that Bloomberg intends to
spend $500 million to deliberately put thousands of Americans out of work.
With regard to Bloomberg's true motivations, the former mayor stressed:
"We’re in a race against time with climate change, and yet there is
virtually no hope of bold federal action on this issue for at least
another two years."
This is not the first time Bloomberg has offered up hundreds of millions
of dollars of his own fortune – estimated to be in the neighborhood of $50
billion – to hurt working-class Americans. The liberal and openly Trump-
disliking former mayor also pledged $500 million to "defeat President
Trump in 2020."
Bloomberg – who clearly understands a thing or two about the economy –
wants to defeat a president who has created record employment in the
minority community, created historic lows in unemployment, instituted
desperately needed tax cuts and reform that brought the American economy
roaring back to life, and positively affected the savings of tens of
millions of Americans.
Why?
By all accounts, Bloomberg is a very good man who gives millions of
dollars to charity on a regular basis through his foundations.
That said, he clearly still has a massive ego and is susceptible to basic
human frailties such as envy, jealousy and bitterness.
With regard to those weaknesses and flaws, the rich are exactly like us.
Bloomberg has made it very clear that he has a very low opinion of Trump.
A fellow billionaire who, unlike him and against all odds, was elected
president of the United States.
That is most certainly Bloomberg's right. With that acknowledged, why must
he punish potentially millions of working-class Americans in his quest to
hurt the president?
With his plan to shut down every coal plant in the United States by 2030,
Bloomberg’s open obsession with Trump drives the story. According to his
own press release, the $500 million he will dedicate to the effort is in
direct response to "the pro-fossil fuel agenda emanating from the White
House."
That would be the same "pro-fossil fuel agenda," which is not only pro-
America, pro-American taxpayer, and pro-American energy independence, but
also exposes the billions of dollars in fraud, waste, and abuse associated
with various "green" energy programs.
With regard to Bloomberg's true motivations, the former mayor stressed:
"We’re in a race against time with climate change, and yet there is
virtually no hope of bold federal action on this issue for at least
another two years."
Translation: The world’s climate is doomed unless I, my ego, and my
unimaginable fortune can defeat Trump in 2020.
Except, any American with common sense is not buying it.
Most Americans – including a growing number of liberals – are sick and
tired of the left continually moving the goal-posts on "global warming"
when their latest dire prediction for the climate of the nation and the
world falls flat. Every American – including Republicans and conservatives
– desperately wants a cleaner and healthier planet. It would be suicidal
to want otherwise.
That said, most Americans also don’t want to prop up failing taxpayer-
funded "green" companies, while destroying our economy in the process.
Those who cry "the sky is falling" with respect to climate change have
made it clear they expect American taxpayers to pony up trillions of
dollars to stop it.
Trillions. From where?

Instead of going after the president by pledging his fortune to a cause
that would put thousands of Americans out of work and adversely affect
millions more, Bloomberg might want to think about using a fraction of
that amount to investigate why billions of American tax dollars have been
lost on "green" energy programs while enriching a chosen few in the
process.
Should the former mayor be inclined to take up that greatly needed
investigation, former Vice President Al Gore might have some interesting
stories to tell.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
