She tried to set herself apart as nothing like Trump, but failed miserably.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, March 30th 2019 at 11:06PM

What are you really saying, Steve?

Steve Williams Sunday, March 31st 2019 at 1:06AM

If you watched the full hour Ron, you would have seen how she had someone planted in the audience to be rude to one of the other guests. After reprimanding that person she went on to pat herself on the back and congratulate herself for not being like Trump. On cue, all the MSNBC folk the next day just lapped it all up.

Steve Williams Sunday, March 31st 2019 at 1:10AM

The guest that got insulted was a plant too. It was a pretting disgusting display all around.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 1st 2019 at 10:05AM

Steve, let us talk for a moment about the video report that you have right in front of you right NOW!

Did you notice in this Video report, about the levels of CO2 levels, starting in 1979 to 1989?



Steve Williams Monday, April 1st 2019 at 10:26AM

I watced the full hour Ron. CO2 levels from 1979-1989 were not a memorable part of it.

Steve Williams Monday, April 1st 2019 at 10:30AM

I do remember Ocasio thought there was something special about her birth year. But she seems to have learned nothing about her infancy.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 1st 2019 at 2:05PM

Don't you give a damn that we are breathing and eating more pollutants now then when, we did back in the 80's, Steve?

Steve Williams Monday, April 1st 2019 at 3:49PM

So do something about the world's population Ron, since you give a damn.

http://www.worldometers.info/world-populat...

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 2nd 2019 at 10:31AM

Steve, I asked you this question: Don't you give a damn that we are breathing and eating more pollutants now then when, we did back in the 80's, Steve?

I don't see the connection but first answer my first question to you.

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 2nd 2019 at 10:54AM

Define "give a damn" Ron. The FACT is that I can't change the world's population, and that's why I can't change the carbon parts per million in the earth's atmosphere. You can "give a damn" all you want Ron and you can't change it either.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 4th 2019 at 10:56AM

I am talking abut stopping the rate of pollutants that MAN is doing to his planet by relaxing regulations that allows man to put more pollutants in the Air we breathe and the fresh water that we all drink by the TRUMP Administration and passed last year by this Republican controlled house and the senate.

All of this is cause by MAN and YES, we can do something about that on a governmental level, by the power of the VOTE.

When I said, Don't you give a damn, I 'am talking about your level of concern about what man made pollutants that you are breathing every time you take a breath of AIR or drinking each time you drink water. YES WE CAN do a lot when the masses of the American stay together on this topic of Clean AIR and CLEAN WATER. "YES WE CAN" because our lives depends on it , Steve don't you give a DAMN about that?



Steve Williams Thursday, April 4th 2019 at 6:19PM

No Ron, I don't give a damn about something that's nothing but political hype.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 4th 2019 at 9:17PM

So, you think by keeping our air and water safe for our children and grand-children is political hype to you, then you are problem.


Steve Williams Friday, April 5th 2019 at 9:12AM

Ocasio is political hype. That's what I said Ron. Climate change is just one more FAKE election issue that the country will prove it knows is a hoax, along with Russia, the President's tax returns, guns, in 2020.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, April 5th 2019 at 9:41AM

What do you Steve care about Steve, do you care about breathing Clean AIR?

Do you care about drinking Clean Water Steve?

Steve Williams Friday, April 5th 2019 at 10:33AM

Clean air and clean water is desirable Ron, and I guarantee we will have both 12 years from now.

Steve Williams Friday, April 5th 2019 at 6:20PM

Refresh my memory Ron. When was the Waters of the United States bill passed?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, April 6th 2019 at 11:35AM

I will Refresh your memory to this question that you did not answer: How? Not by taken the lead from this administration as they took the actions to relax the EPA standards for clean water and clean AIR YOU breathe.

How in the hell can you guarantee that we will have both clean air and 12 years from now when TRUMP is letting big corporations put more pollutants in our water and Air then ever before, now how can you guarantee that Steve?

Answer that question Steve.

Steve Williams Saturday, April 6th 2019 at 3:06PM

I can guarantee that because clean air and water doesn't depend on the Waters of the United States Obama order Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, April 6th 2019 at 6:49PM

The oligarch's don't give a damn about the common people of this country, you have been GASLIGHTED

Now "HOW" can you guarantee that Steve, when Trump relaxed the EPA standards for clean water and clean AIR YOU breathe?

Steve Williams Saturday, April 6th 2019 at 7:19PM

If it was that important Ron, Congress would pass a new law to supercede the Clean Air Act. Presidents giveth executive orders and Presidents taketh away executive orders. You just mad Obama's legacy is turned to dust.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, April 6th 2019 at 9:45PM

So, you are OKAY about knowing you are Drinking more pollutants and breathing And breathing more pollutants, you are OK with that Steve?


Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 7th 2019 at 2:40PM

I am asking you Steve and not a report, I am asking "YOU" this question. So, are "YOU" OKAY about knowing you are Drinking more pollutants and breathing more pollutants since Trump relaxed the EPA standards for clean water and clean AIR YOU breathe? Are you OK with That, Steve?

Steve Williams Sunday, April 7th 2019 at 9:31PM

I have no idea what you're talking about Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 8th 2019 at 8:56AM

So, are "YOU" OKAY about knowing you are Drinking more pollutants and breathing more pollutants since Trump relaxed the EPA standards for clean water and clean AIR YOU breathe? Are you OK with That, Steve?

You understand that don't you?

Steve Williams Monday, April 8th 2019 at 11:30AM

I am not drinking more pollutants Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 8th 2019 at 12:46PM

If, you are drinking TAP water, thanks to Trump, yes you are... Now Thank Trump for that, OK Steve.

Now are you OK with that Steve?

Steve Williams Monday, April 8th 2019 at 2:58PM

I drink water from Bethany Spring, Diamond Spring, and Roaring Spring, bottled in Ephrata, PA. We have very good water here Ron with an ideal Ph.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 8th 2019 at 9:15PM

Keep in mind Steve, I did mention TAP Water, not bottle waters. Now let us take a look at The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland Ohio.

The Cuyahoga River is famous – or infamous – for having caught fire numerous times since 1868, most recently in June 1969. Flowing through the Cleveland, Ohio area, the Cuyahoga River, because it runs through a congested urban environment, has been subjected to numerous forms of pollution, particularly industrial waste, which has made it flammable at times. Interestingly, the plight of the Cuyahoga River helped promote in the late 1960s the ecological movement across the U.S., whose motto was “Ecology Now.” This joint fervor led to passage of the Clean Water Act of 1972.

Steve, I am glad you don't near The Great Mississippi water. Steve, Pollution of rivers is also widespread in the United States. The mighty Mississippi River, also called the Big Muddy, because its waters are generally brown, mostly from sediments. But the Big Muddy holds much more than mud, for its level of pollutants is great. In fact, it is sometimes called the Colon of America. In addition to sewage, perhaps the worst pollutants in the river are agricultural in nature. At the mouth of the Mississippi in the Gulf of Mexico lies a so-called Dead Zone of 6,000 to 8,000 square miles. This has been created by the Mississippi’s high amount of nitrogen-based fertilizer run-off, which upsets the food chain, creating very low oxygen levels in coastal waters.

The solution to pollution is dilution. This has been the mantra of people who would like to think water pollution can be avoided simply by adding enough water to the muck. The trouble is, there are too many people and too many factories in the world and not enough fresh water. In fact, one of the world’s biggest problems is a lack of clean drinking water.

Thanks Trump for relaxing the EPA Rules on corporations polluting freshwater, Thanks Trump.

Steve Williams Monday, April 8th 2019 at 10:09PM

Thanks for agreeing with me Ron.

So do something about the world's population Ron, since you give a damn.

"The trouble is, there are too many people and too many factories in the world..."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 8:17AM

Steve you are an ERROR. I don't agree with you at all. Now, since you do agree with this statement I found through doing a little research: "The trouble is, there are too many people and too many factories in the world..."

Then why is the hell would YOU back up Trump that wants to relax the standards for clean water, for?

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 9:22AM

We have clean water Ron, took care of that many year ago. When I was a kid we used to go down to the Schuylkill river to fish and canoe. The water and the banks of the river were FILTHY with coal residue. The only fish we caught were trash fish. Now that same river is sparkling clean, with parks and trails. It's beautiful and that's how it will stay as long as our population doesn't increase. But you want to let in the entire third world. YOU are the threat Ron, not Trump.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 10:39AM

I will take your word on that but I was giving you examples of two major rivers running from the North end of the country to the most southern tip, running throughout this country where Millions of our fellow Americans don't have excess to the Schuylkill river but they do have excess to both of these rivers that I mentioned.

You claim that the Schuylkill river was cleaned up from FILTHY with coal residue, can't you see that the relaxing of such clean up laws mean that that coal plant can put higher levels of FILTH in that very same waters that you drink from, Thanks to Trump relaxing EPA laws on clean water and clean AIR, which will save them millions and will poison you and your family, in the near future, Don't you give a damn about that?


Steve Williams Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 12:19PM

You come across as not knowing a thing about these regulations Ron. Explain them to me.

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 12:22PM

Everyone knows that the Mississippi is our largest river. It drains most of the country. Are you advocating to stop using fertilizers? Stop growing food?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 8:23PM

I advocate for the cleaning up of our fresh waters, water ways Steve.

Now, since you do agree with this statement I found through doing a little research: "The trouble is, there are too many people and too many factories in the world..."

Then why is the hell would YOU back up Trump that wants to relax the standards for clean water, for?


Steve Williams Tuesday, April 9th 2019 at 11:03PM

I was the one who pointed out the root problem, population. You have no answer to that Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 10th 2019 at 9:12PM

Don't try that weak attempt to sidestep this issue, with unrelated topics like population because Trump did not relax The EPA on population, now did he?

What Trump did was to relax the levels that Big Corporation's can put more pollutants in the remaining fresh waters for the people of The United States of America. Don't you give a damn about that?

Steve Williams Wednesday, April 10th 2019 at 9:48PM

You don't know what Trump did. You've been neuromarketed Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 10th 2019 at 10:08PM

Steve, What Trump did was to relax the levels that Big Corporation's can put more pollutants in the remaining fresh waters for the people of The United States of America. Don't you give a damn about that?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 10th 2019 at 10:09PM

WELL DO YOU?

Steve Williams Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 10:39AM

Why did he do that Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 12:06PM

What is the matter Steve, why can't you acknowledge my question that I put before you.

"Steve, What Trump did was to relax the levels that Big Corporation's can put more pollutants in the remaining fresh waters for the people of The United States of America. Don't you give a damn about that?"

Steve Williams Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 12:47PM

Let's hear the truth first. Why did Trump do that?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 1:03PM

STILL WON'T Acknowledge my question that I put before you. First Acknowledge my question: "Steve, What Trump did was to relax the levels that Big Corporation's can put more pollutants in the remaining fresh waters for the people of The United States of America.

Don't you give a damn about that?" Is this question above your basic programming?





Steve Williams Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 1:08PM

I don't believe your statement Ron. I'm waiting for you to tell me the truth about the Waters of the United States.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 1:34PM

These are the FACTS, since you asked

Since his first days in office, President Trump has made eliminating federal regulations a priority. His administration, with help from Republicans in Congress, has targeted environmental rules it sees as overly burdensome to the fossil fuel industry, including major Obama-era policies aimed at fighting climate change.

A New York Times analysis, based on research from Harvard Law School, Columbia Law School and other sources, counts nearly 80 environmental rules on Mr. Trump illuminated. WOW!!! Do you give a damn about that?

Steve Williams Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 6:48PM

I give a damn that the only thing you've done Ron is parrot. Give the folks here on BIA at least a rudimentary explanation of the EPA rule you're talking about.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 9:11PM

Steve, Trump's rules targeted for reversal so far include key Obama-era efforts to curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, as well as broader air and water pollution controls and protections for threatened animals and habitats. The Trump administration has, in many instances, pared back these regulations in favor of more expansive energy extraction policies — often as a direct response to petitions from oil, gas and coal companies. Mr. Trump has argued that supporting the fossil fuel industry strengthens the economy.

So, their goes fresh clean waters for the oil, gas and coal companies. Steve, you can thank Trump, for that!!!

Steve Williams Thursday, April 11th 2019 at 10:49PM

So they say. Did you read what the EPA says? Do you know what a prairie pothole is? If you did, you would know it has nothing to do with clean water. Do you know what percent of California's original wetlands remain? You do not. When was the last time you got out of the city Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, April 12th 2019 at 8:07AM

Did Trump relax and target key Obama-era efforts to curb planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, as well as broader air and water pollution controls and protections for threatened animals and habitats? Did that happen?

Steve Williams Friday, April 12th 2019 at 8:47AM

I don't know Ron. Did Obama stop prairie potholes from being filled?

Steve Williams Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 1:01AM

You're a hypocrite Ron. YOU. are responsible for climate change and no one else.

Steve Williams Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 9:58AM

You are the worst polluter on the planet Ron. Stop blaming everyone else and correct your evil ways. Stop using electricity and putting out all that garbage every week. Stop driving and stop eating then get back to me when you've cleaned up your act.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 10:09AM

Please, I pay my tax's for garbage pick up every week, just like you do Steve. Did you see the link Steve and if you did see the link, did you see the actions Trump took?




Steve Williams Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 1:42PM

I saw the link Ron and it's not about clean water is it? But where does your garbage go? Every week my neighbor puts out 4 or 5 large garbage bags. They've got 3 people there. I put out 1 tall kitchen bag. Where does garbage for 320 million Americans go every week. What's the law about that Ron?


Steve Williams Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 6:41PM

Ron, why would you claim to know where I get my water from and how I use it?

Steve Williams Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 6:46PM

For washing things I use well water, which has low Ph from the mineral content, not acid rain. For drinking, cooking, and watering house plants I use bottled spring water. I don't wash my car but I'm not surprised you do Ron, environmental activist that you are.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, April 13th 2019 at 8:55PM

I 'am glad to see that you can afford $4.09 for the 1- gallon for water, consider yourself Blessed. I know that you would not be HAPPY to lose that blessing because I don't pay that much for GAS.



Steve Williams Sunday, April 14th 2019 at 2:39AM

You'd be nuts to pay that. I get mine for $0.85.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 14th 2019 at 11:10AM

I am talking about a gallon of water, you pay $0.85 for it, where, show me a link to where you paid that price for a gallon of water, can you do that on your next reply?

Steve Williams Sunday, April 14th 2019 at 2:58PM

I buy it by the case and the young ones take it out to the car for me too.

Steve Williams Monday, April 15th 2019 at 9:38AM

They're open now Ron, what did you find out?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 15th 2019 at 10:35AM


This link is showing me nothing about the cost of a gallon of bottle waters.

Steve, did you know that, According to the American Water Works Association tap water (and all the chemicals in it) on the average costs only $0.004 a gallon. To show you the price difference between the cost of water that comes out of your tap and what you pay for bottled water look at it like this: With the amount of money you paid for one gallon of that bottled water from Walmart, you could have bought 195 gallons of tap water.

The poorest among us can't afford to buy Bottle Water so. Why would you want to support this President roll back of Obama's clean Air and Clean water restrictions allowing big corporations, like the fossil fuel industry to pollute our fresh water just because you can afford to buy bottled water, WOW!!!

This is why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fighting for, the poor and the middle classes of American's. She is talking how the rich is robbing the poor and you are apart of that theft, you are the problem, do you gave a damn about that?

Steve, you really, really don't give a damn about the poor, do you?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 15th 2019 at 10:38AM

Steve, Climate Change effect all of us on this planet even you can afford it or not. Do you give a damn about your own existence and the existence of your family members?

Steve Williams Monday, April 15th 2019 at 3:54PM

The rich are not robbing the poor. Your water is fine and if it's not the price is insignificant. Don't skimp on your health Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 15th 2019 at 7:06PM

I see that you still can't answer a simple question: Steve, Climate Change effects all of us on this planet even if you can afford it or not. Do you give a damn about your own existence and the existence of your family members?

Steve, how can the water be fine when Trump is letting big corporations, such as the fossil fuel industry to put more pollutants in our fresh water just by the stroke of his pen? WHY do you support such a effort?

YOUR STATEMENT: The rich are not robbing the poor.

MY REPLY: THAT IS A LIE AND YOU KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE STEVE. Is it true that the rich corporations, pay less percentage wise less tax's, then the workers they employee?



Steve Williams Monday, April 15th 2019 at 7:23PM

Do you want to talk about clean water Ron? You haven't shown any knowledge of that subject, no comprehension about the rule change. Or do you want to talk about eating the rich, killing the goose that laid the golden egg?

Steve Williams Monday, April 15th 2019 at 9:53PM

1. Climate change is a fraud Ron.
2. Trump's not allowing more pollution.
3. No.

Steve Williams Monday, April 15th 2019 at 9:56PM

What's the Waters of the United States rule Ron? I've been waiting all this time and nothing but crickets.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 16th 2019 at 11:25AM

Just look at the devastations by shifting Weather patterns at is happening right here to this country right before your damn eye's Steve, can't you see that?



Steve Williams Tuesday, April 16th 2019 at 11:36AM

I've told you many times Ron, our government and others have been engineering the weather, probably for about 15 years now. You and they both are GUILTY of weaponizing the weather.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 16th 2019 at 12:55PM


So, why do you think our government is weaponizing the weather against it's own people for, Steve?

Steve Williams Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 12:54AM

Why did our government experiment on its own troops when developing nuclear weapons Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 3:50AM

I am talking about the issue of why do you think our government is weaponizing the weather against it's own people for, Steve?

Tell me what you think Steve?



Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 10:23AM

What do you think about why our government is weaponizing the weather against it's own people for, Steve?

Tell me what you think Steve?

Sending me to a 52 page report is not telling me what you think, SORRY Steve but that 💩 won't work here.

Steve Williams Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 11:03AM

Think about how science works Ron. Think back to Jr. High.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 12:44PM

Steve, what do you think is the reason why our government is weaponizing the weather against it's own people for, Since you brought it up?




Steve Williams Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 2:24PM

It's part of their R&D Ron. I guess you forgot how science works.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 17th 2019 at 2:43PM

I see that you can't answer anything that I have asked you today. Again always there you go like a thief in the night running away from the simplest of questions about something YOU SAID.

NOW telling me and the people hear on Black In America why do you think is the reason why our government is weaponizing the weather against it's own people for, Since you brought it up?

Steve, again these are your word:

I've told you many times Ron, our government and others have been engineering the weather, probably for about 15 years now. You and they both are GUILTY of weaponizing the weather.
