EPA Won't Say If Biofuels Are Hurting The Environment

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials are ignoring a federal law requiring them to report to Congress and the public whether biofuels are helping or harming the environment, a government watchdog reported Thursday.

The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program “is a national policy that requires a certain volume of renewable fuel, also known as biofuel, to replace or reduce the quantity of petroleum-based transportation fuel,” EPA inspector general (IG) official Jim Kohler said in a podcast.

“It was created with the intent to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and expand the nation’s renewable fuels sector while reducing reliance on imported oil,” said Kohler, who is an environmental engineer. But the EPA never completed studies that would show whether biofuels are actually reducing greenhouse gases or otherwise helping the environment.

Forgoing these reports “impedes EPA’s ability to identify, consider, mitigate and make policymakers aware of any adverse impacts of biofuels,” Kohler said. “EPA, Congress and other stakeholders lack key information on biofuel impacts needed to make science-based decisions about RFS and U.S. biofuel policy.”

“Caitlyn” Jenner’s TV show Has Been Canceled

The former patriarch of Hollywood’s biggest famewhore family tried to break out on his own after announcing he was a transgender woman named Cait. A reality show quickly followed — because, of course — but ratings weren’t great. And now, after just two seasons, the show has been canceled.

From the Mirror:

Following the decision made on Tuesday, Caitlyn took to Twitter to say she’s ready for the “next adventure” and thanked her friends for their support on the series.

“After 2 amazing seasons of #IAmCait, it’s time for the next adventure,” she wrote. “Thank you E! & thank you to the best girlfriends I could ask for!

While an E! spokesperson said: “We are incredibly proud of the two seasons of I Am Cait, a groundbreaking docu-series that sparked an important and unprecedented global conversation about transgender people, their struggles and triumphs

“Caitlyn and E! have mutually decided not to move forward with another season at this time. She will always remain a part of the E! family, and we look forward to continue following her journey as she appears on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

Hillary's Health: What They're NOT Telling You

Wanted: Volunteers to be infected with Zika - amid desperate bid to find a cure as Florida's outbreak spreads

US researchers are appealing for healthy people to be deliberately injected with Zika.

It is part of a desperate bid to find a cure for the mosquito-borne virus as it spreads in Florida, the only place with local infections in mainland America.

As of Thursday, there were 35 people being treated for Zika caught from local mosquitoes in Miami and Palm Beach, with the figure rising every day.

If government regulators give approval to the medical team in Baltimore, Maryland, they hope to infect thousands of nonpregnant people with the virus.

They will then watch them and track how their bodies react.

Jan Brewer: Arizona won't go blue for 'lying killer' Clinton



Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) this week called Hillary Clinton a "lying killer" and insisted her state wouldn't vote for the Democrat in November's presidential election.

"The people want a fighter. They're tired of the lying killer, uh, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clintons of the world," Brewer said in an interview on KTAR News that was highlighted by Mediaite.

Brewer argued that Democrats may be helping the state's economy by spending heavily on advertisements there but that it wouldn't help them politically. She predicted GOP nominee Donald Trump would air just a few ads.

"I don't think that they can win Arizona," the Trump supporter said of Democrats.

Trump and Clinton are essentially tied in the state according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.

A CBS News/YouGov poll earlier this month found Trump 2 points ahead, a closer contest than in many other states where Clinton has pulled far ahead in recent weeks.

"I thought you should know"

Website Offers $1 Million Bounty For Hillary's Medical Records

A political website is offering a $1 million dollar bounty for a whistleblower to leak Hillary Clinton’s medical records.

After promising a $50,000 dollar reward for Clinton’s health history, TruePundit.com has now upped its offer to a cool million.

“As calls for Clinton to release her own records have been ignored and even laughed off by her pompous campaign, True Pundit is now offering an unprecedented reward of $1 Million (One Million Dollars US) for Clinton’s true medical records,” states the website.

Tim Kaine: Bill Clinton should have resigned over Monica

Hillary's VP pick weighed in on cheating politicians in 2002 interview

(DAILY BEAST)
Bill Clinton should have resigned over the Monica Lewinsky scandal—at least, that’s a view Tim Kaine once held.

Kaine’s remark—reported 14 years ago in the Richmond Times-Dispatch in the aftermath of a state-level sex scandal—hasn’t drawn any attention thus far in the 2016 presidential cycle. But it suggests Hillary Clinton’s running mate at one point harbored reservations about the integrity of the man poised to become the country’s first first gentleman.

Kaine commented on the Lewinsky scandal in 2002, when allegations of sexual harassment had rocked the Virginia House of Delegates. The speaker of the house, Vance Wilkins, was a Republican power broker who had just helped his party flip the House and build its majority after Democrats had historically controlled the chamber.

Bill Clinton's loving wife...

By Dick Morris former political adviser to President Bill Clinton. 
  
If you happen to see the Bill Clinton 5-minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background, beware. As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections. 
  
Bill says: "In law school, Hillary worked on legal services for the poor." 
  
The facts are: Hillary's main extra-curricular activity in law school was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day as part of a law student monitoring committee trying to spot civil rights violations and develop grounds for appeal. 
  
Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids." 
  
The facts are: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him. 
  
Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers." 
  
The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam; yes, flunked. It is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas - none - and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor. 
  
Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman." 
  
The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Walmart’s Out-of-Control Crime Problem Is Driving Police Crazy

Darrell Ross—"Officer Walmart" to his colleagues in the Tulsa Police Department—operates for up to 10 hours a day out of the security office of a Walmart Supercenter in the city’s northeast corner. It’s a small, windowless space with six flatscreen monitors mounted on a pale blue cinder-block wall, and on this hot summer day, the room is packed. Four Walmart employees watch the monitors, which toggle among the dozens of cameras covering the store and parking lot, while doing paperwork and snacking on Cheez Whiz and Club Crackers. In a corner of the room, an off-duty sheriff’s officer, hired by Walmart, makes small talk with the employees.

As soon as Ross walks in the door, around 2 p.m., he’s presented with an 18-year-old who tried to leave the store with a microwave oven. Ross focuses his gaze and talks in a low voice to the young man, who just graduated from high school and plans to go into the military. He also attempts to calm the boy’s mother, who rushed to the store and is worried that her son won’t be able to enlist if he gets a criminal record. “You need to start taking responsibility for your actions,” Ross tells the teenager. “You’re a man now.” He tells the mother that because it was the boy’s first offense, he won’t be arrested—but if he messes up twice more, he’ll be charged with a felony. Ross slips a pair of reading glasses out of his bulletproof vest and writes the young man a summons to appear in court.

Police reports from dozens of stores suggest the number of petty crimes committed on Walmart properties nationwide this year will be in the hundreds of thousands. But people dashing out the door with merchandise is the least troubling part of Walmart’s crime problem. More than 200 violent crimes, including attempted kidnappings and multiple stabbings, shootings, and murders, have occurred at the nation’s 4,500 Walmarts this year, or about one a day, according to an analysis of media reports.

Maryland officials weigh whether Pokemon Go is a public safety hazard

Maryland's political leaders gather every August to discuss the most pressing issues in governance; this year Pokemon Go is on the agenda.

The augmented reality game that has sent people exploring neighborhoods, congregating in public places and distractedly "hunting" digital creatures also creates a public policy conundrum for local governments. Armed robbers have preyed on preoccupied Pokemon hunters. In Baltimore, an engrossed player sideswiped a parked police cruiser while staring at his cell phone.

"There's an awful lot of questions that have burst on the scene about this game and the trend that it represents," said Michael Sanderson, executive director of the Maryland Association of Counties. "There's a real public policy dimension here. What does it mean for your liability? What does it mean for public safety?"

NASA says MASSIVE earthquake is '99.9 per cent' likely to rock LA

A HUGE earthquake is 99.9 per cent likely to hit Los Angeles within the next two years, scientists from NASA have said.

The group’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena have warned a series of mini-tremors beneath the surface of the City of Angels have caused pressure to build-up.

In 2014, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit the town of La Habra in southern California and the experts from NASA say that there is still some left over strain from that, which will almost definitely hit before April 2018.

JPL geophysicist Dr Andrea Donnellan said: “When the La Habra earthquake happened, it was relieving some of that stress, and it actually shook some of the upper sediments in the LA basin and moved those a little bit more.

“There’s enough energy stored to produce about a magnitude 6.1 to 6.3 earthquake.”

Lies, deception and bullying at Hillary Clinton rally in West Philly

How Donald Trump might have seen today's voter registration event in a battleground state

They recited the Pledge of Allegiance at 11:55 a.m. on Wednesday. Five minutes later, the nattily-dressed lapdog media members traveling with the Hillary Clinton campaign took fancy computers out of their Hermes bags and started typing the type of nonsense to which we’ve become accustomed this presidential-election cycle.

They were given front-row press-box seats and high-end tacos and sandwiches for lunch as their award for obeisance.

As I sat there watching them “work,” I figured they were typing about how rap-music maker “Freeway” talked bad about Donald Trump, and was high on the disastrous Obamacare debacle on the candidate’s behalf. As if he had a choice. If Antonio Sabato Jr. taught us anything, it’s thatcelebrities risk getting blacklisted if they don’t follow orders.

The crowd at West Philadelphia High School was much smaller than the crowd at any Donald Trump rally, which you wouldn’t know because the media refuses to report about that kind of important thing (For more, see Alex Jones’ seminal work on that topic via this link).

Those selected to serve as campaign props were under the perpetual gaze of an army of blue-shirted “volunteers,” who took down people’s names and contact information and handed them socialistic “Pennsylvania Together” stickers.

VA’s Army Of Bored Interior Designers Can’t Keep Their Hands Off Brazilian Wood

A Republican congressman is going after the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for having almost 200 full-time interior designers.

House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller thinks the designers are a significant factor in the troubled agency’s penchant for wasting tax dollars, and offering inadequate care to veterans

The Florida Republican — who has devoted much of his tenure as chairman to exposing waste, fraud and abuse in the VA — points to boondoggles like the department’s newest hospital in Aurora, Colo.

The Aurora facility inexplicably went more than $1 billion over budget, and the contractor walked off the job, blaming VA mismanagement. The hospital, which won’t be completed until 2018, features a glass concourse the size of a football field. Plans included imported Brazilian wood, $10 million in landscaping, and 70-foot-high glass walls.

Hillary, Trump, and War on Russia

Don’t look for a walk-over. The T14 Armata, Russia’s latest tank. You don’t want to fight this monster if you can think of a better idea, such as not fighting it. Russia once made large numbers of second-rate tanks. That worm has turned. This thing is way advanced and outguns the American M1A2, having a 125mm smoothbore firing APFSDS long rods to the Abrams 120mm. (As Hillary would know, that’s Armor-piercing, fin-stabilized, discarding sabot. You did know, didn’t you, Hill?) This isn’t the place for a disquisition on armor, but the above beast is a very advanced design with unmanned turret and, well, a T34 it isn’t. (I was once an aficionado of tanks. If interested, here and here.)

A good reason to vote for Trump, a very good reason whatever his other intentions, is that he does not want a war with Russia. Hillary and her elite ventriloquists threaten just that. Note the anti-Russian hysteria coming from her and her remoras.

Such a war would be yet another example of the utter control of America by rich insiders. No normal American has anything at all to gain by such a war. And no normal American has the slightest influence over whether such a war takes place, except by voting for Trump. The military has become entirely the plaything of unaccountable elites.

Roger Stone: Saying Trump 'in Bed with Putin' is a 'Conspiracy Theory' - While Clinton 'Does Paid Errands' for Russian Oligarchs

On Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily, Roger Stone said it wasn’t conspiracy-mongering paranoia to ask about Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s ties to radical Islamist organizations.

“No conspiracy theory – this is really simple,” Stone explained. “Her parents were funders of the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs, also active in the World Muslim League – both funded by the radical sheikh Omar Abdul Naseef, who also founded the Rabita Trust, identified by the Department of Justice as one of the funders of the attack on America on 9/11. Those are indisputable facts.”

When SiriusXM host Alex Marlow pointed out the the Left is looking for opportunities to label Clinton critics as purveyors of conspiracy theories, Stone responded, “I’ll give you a conspiracy theory: Donald Trump and Paul Manafort are in bed with Vladimir Putin. Nowthere’s a conspiracy theory!”

Benenson Gets Upset, Won’t Answer Questions About Clinton Health

Secret Service Leaks Hillary’s Health to Press

Hillary Clinton apparently suffers from Parkinson’s or a similar disease and experiences seizures from flashing lights, such as camera flashes at press conferences, the Secret Service told Infowars.

Additionally, the federal government has reportedly spent nearly a quarter-million dollars to add handicap steps on government vehicles because Hillary struggles with balance, a fact already established by a Reuters photo showing two men helping Hillary up stairs.

The revelations explain her odd, epileptic behavior on camera and why she avoids press conferences in general.

Her health is deteriorating badly; over the past several months Hillary has suffered several seizures and near-comatose freeze-ups during speeches which, combined with her previous blood clot, concussions and severe coughing fits, reveal she’s hiding serious medical issues that jeopardize her ability to hold public office.
