Trump Has Repealed These 7 Pieces Of Obama’s Environmental Legacy

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2015/06/04/obama-train/

Daily Caller  "President Donald Trump signed executive orders and new legislation this week that repealed much of President Obama’s environmental legacy.

"Trump eliminated the Clean Power Plan (CPP) as well as rules and regulations from several different federal agencies that had been implemented as part of Obama’s environmentalist agenda.

“ 'We fully expected the Clean Power Plan to be overturned, but were surprised at the breadth of the Executive Order,” Kathleen Sgamma, vice president for government at the Western Energy Alliance, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “It comprehensively clears out some of the regulatory overreach of the Obama Administration that was about greater federal control in the guise of environmental protection.”

“ 'Repealing those rules requires months if not years of rule-making and the inevitable follow-on litigation before they will be completely gone,” Sgamma continued." . . .

Here is an outline of parts of Obama’s environmental legacy Trump turned back. Each is discussed more in the article.

1. Stopping The Clean Power Plan
The Clean Power Plan would have only averted 0.019° Celsius of warming by the year 2100, an amount so small it can’t be detected, according to analysis by the libertarian Cato Institute using models created by the Environmental Protection Agency.

2. Changing How The Government Interprets The National Environmental Policy Act
3. Removing Strict Coal Mining Regulations
"America has 83,000 fewer coal jobs and 400 fewer coal mines than it did when Obama was elected in 2008, demonstrating the former president followed through on his pledge to “bankrupt” the coal industry."
4. EPA Denying Green Requests To Have Agency Ban Major Pesticide 
5. Simplifying How Public Lands Are Managed
6. Approving Keystone XL
7. Returning Environmental Regulation To The States. . . 

What Kind Of Man Is Mike Pence? Here’s That Article The Left Flipped Out Over.

RedState  "You know that profile of Mike Pence someone dredged up to try and make him out to be some chauvinist pig? The one where the online left lost their minds?

"It turns out; there is a video of it being read on C-SPAN in 2002. That video was found by Tommy Christopher and posted to Twitter. The contents of the video are revealing in their lack of anything scandalous."

Video at the link.

"So, let’s establish what Pence’s logic is/was:

1. He did not want to anyone to get a sense of impropriety about what he was doing.
2. He set for himself a list of rules to follow that included not eating alone with another woman and not drinking at any event that served liquor if his wife was not wife him.
3. He put his family first, even during campaign season, making sure he ate with his family at least twice a week and ran clean campaigns keeping the family out of the mix.
4. He never had staffers work late unless there was a critical vote, and it would be him and one (1) male staffer.

"My God. What a terrible man Mike Pence is.

"Here’s the thing. Everyone reporting on the story never really seemed to have it. They found one thing from a story that someone remembered and ran with this as though it were some shameful thing.

"When you hear the story being read, as it is in the video above, he is not some lunatic or chauvinist. He is a man trying to protect his family from the evils and the gossip-mongers of Washington D.C.

"Say what you want about the fact that he willingly went to work for Trump. Pence is a good man, and this profile is just another reason why."

California, a precious jewel wasted on Californians

Radical Leftist California Looking to Become Illegal Alien Dystopia: May Reconstitute as Defacto “Sanctuary State”  "Barry Secrest notes: The silver lining to this possibility might lie in the fact that California, through an illegal alien population approaching estimates of at least 1/4th of the total population, would most likely be barred from receiving a considerable amount of future federal funding, if it were to make illegals legal. 

"At present, the state is ranked first in the dizzying amount of both federal grants and benefits paid to the state based upon its current population…not to mention the dispensation of disallowing a large number of electoral votes, due to the states not meeting federal voting criteria." . . .

Leftist California Professors "Corrupt" Higher Education  . . . "California taxpayers spend $2.8 billion to educate the more than 230,000 students at the 10 campuses that comprise the UC system. But the report says the UC system does not help students learn how to think, but rather teaches them what to think. And what they "learn" is that they are victims -- whether of racism, sexism, classism or discrimination because of sexual orientation. Liberal profs, says the report, turn the UC campuses into "a sanctuary for a narrow ideological segment of the spectrum of social and political ideas."  

"Nationwide, left-wing professors vastly outnumber conservative professors in the humanities. It isn't even close."' . . .

Take the UC Berkeley history course that majors in that field must take, "The United States from Settlement to the Civil War." Its course description states its goals: "to understand how democratic political institutions emerged in the United States in this period in the context of an economy that depended on slave labor and violent land acquisition."

The Dems just handed Trump and the GOP a gift

Lerner

Ed Lasky  . . . "Of course, Davidson who is a very liberal, pro-big government columnist, attacks Trump’s plan to trim the IRS. Davidson actually depicts the IRS as a money-making venture. He quotes, as he does in every one of his columns, complaints about demoralized and over-worked federal employees.

"Trump should go on offense. The IRS has really escaped punishment for leaking private tax information for political purposes  as well as its campaign against conservative grassroots groups to quash their free speech rights and help Democrats.

"The fact that Lois Lerner escaped prison, that records were destroyed in a campaign to obstruct justice and allow other guilty parties to escape punishment . . ." 

Israel takes baby step toward rebuilding Temple ...

WND

The future Third Temple … as it would appear

"With June marking the 50th anniversary of Israel’s reunification of the capital city of Jerusalem along with the Temple Mount, the Israeli government is considering a proposal to create a new foundation responsible for providing “research, information and advocacy” about the Jewish connection to what many consider the holiest site in all of Judaism – the place where the Temple stood until A.D. 70.

"The Temple Mount Heritage Foundation was proposed by Culture Minister Miri Regev and Environmental Protection and Jerusalem Minister Ze’ev Elkin, with an annual budget starting at $550,000. It will be based on the government-funded Western Wall Heritage Fund, which administers the site adjacent to the Temple Mount – believed to be the retaining wall for the 35-acre foundation upon which the Temple was built.

"The project is getting high praise from Israel advocates for rebuilding the Temple.

"Rabbi Yehuda Glick, a target of an assassination attempt in 2014 for his Temple advocacy, said he welcomed the plan for a Temple Mount Heritage Foundation and has personally lobbied for its creation.

“ 'We need to state clearly: The Temple Mount is the foundation of the history of the Jewish people and of the return to the land since the beginning of Zionism,” he said.

"Temple Mount activism has become an increasingly prominent issue in the Israeli political debate, even as Arab Palestinians have sought to deny any connection between the site and the Jewish Temple – in some cases, aided by the United Nations.

"The foundation proposal makes direct reference to the attacks on the historicity of the Temple Mount." . . .
