Out of Control And Attacking Trump

{ rickwells.us } ~ Senator Rand Paul is asked to weigh in on Wednesday as to where he thinks the Mueller inquisition is going... He’s read a tweet from President Trump in which he quotes Alan Dershowitz saying that there should never have been a special counsel appointed because there was no probable cause to believe there was a crime. Senator Paul says, “I agree with the President, quoting Alan Dershowitz, that really these special prosecutors run far afield of what they’re impaneled for and that in the end we end up getting sort of a wild goose chase down all kinds of nooks and crannies. And so I think special prosecutors have too much power and that we really shouldn’t have them.” He says, “I would not have appointed Mueller. Now that it’s going it’s a little more difficult to end. But there really is no reason why Mueller should be investigating things other than Russian collusion. If there is no Russian collusion he should wind up, close his investigation, let’s move on.”... https://rickwells.us/paul-deep-state-trump/

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Energy Secretary Rick Perry is placing the Department of Energy’s (DOE) uranium sales on hold for the rest of the year... after a lawmaker held up a DOE nominee over the practice. During a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing Tuesday on the DOE’s 2019 budget, Perry told GOP Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming the DOE would stop selling uranium for the rest of the year and possibly longer, The Washington Examiner reported.  Barrasso has blocked the Senate from confirming Anne White as the DOE assistant secretary for environmental management since January. The Wyoming senator held up White’s nomination to protest the DOE’s process of selling excess government-owned uranium, which has suppressed the domestic uranium industry, especially in Wyoming... http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/21/rick-perry-stops-uranium-sales/?utm_medium=email

{ dailycaller.com } ~ House Republicans released the text of a $1.3 trillion spending bill that must pass both chambers of Congress... in order to avert a government shutdown Friday evening at midnight. The legislation will keep the government funded through Sept. 30, if House and Senate lawmakers pass the bill and President Donald Trump signs it. The 2,232 page text of the bill, released late Wednesday evening, comes after months of negotiation in Congress over contentions policy issues. Many of those policy standoffs, like liar-nObamacare subsidy funding, were not included in the final text. House lawmakers aren’t expected to vote on the bill until Thursday at the earliest, but multiple House aides told The Daily Caller News Foundation a vote could very well likely happen Friday. That would leave the Senate under 24 hours to read, agree upon, and vote on the House legislation before the government shuts down at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Key Features of the House Bill: 1) Defense Spending  2) Infrastructure Spending  3) School Safety  4) Opioid Crisis Funding  5) Border Wall Funding (only 33 miles)  6) Gun Background Checks...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/21/spending-bill-text/?utm_medium=email

Democrats Reject the Best DACA Offer They’re Going to Get

{ conservativefreepress.com } ~ Democrats proved this week again that they are not serious about securing protection for the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants... enrolled in President liar-nObama’s DACA program. According to Politico, Democrats negotiating with the White House about an acceptable path forward rejected the best offers they’re likely to get: A trade of three more years of DACA amnesty in exchange for $25 billion in border wall funding. Trump was generous enough to take all legal immigration cuts off the table, leave chain migration alone for now, and offer them this simple extension that would protect some 700,000 Dreamers from deportation. Furthermore, the deal would have allowed DACA recipients to keep their work permits for the time period outlined in the agreement, a huge win for the children of illegal migrants and their families.  But Democrats said no...  http://www.conservativefreepress.com/congress/democrats-reject-best-daca-offer-theyre-going-get/

Damaging Reference to Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg

{ westernjournal.com } ~ The New York Times was caught editing a story to remove an unfavorable reference to Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg... On Tuesday night, The Times ran a story about the pending departure of Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos. The original version of the story read, “Mr. Stamos had been a strong advocate inside the company for investigating and disclosing Russian activity on Facebook, often to the consternation of other top executives, including Sheryl Sandberg, the social network’s chief operative officer, according to the current and former employees, who asked not to be identified discussing  internal matters.”  The reference to Sandberg was taken out later in the evening to read, Stamos “was met with resistance by colleagues…”...

The EPA Gets Much-Needed Transparency Reform 
7zxusF6F6lKRmNf9HU8TT8-EYV7yK0JYXShY4ZNOqqOgqjIA1RckgpFUo511GB4QXNv8ipGdJ75UtCr9PyalFM9npY1GRAqCESZqT3wWh3yNMO776Eg8ODf6z9rlfmI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Jordan Candler:  A looming policy change means the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will no longer have the luxury of hiding behind surreptitious studies that form the sometimes-rocky foundation for rules and regulations.

               Under existing protocol, the EPA is not required to make public the literature from which regulations are fabricated. But Administrator Scott Pruitt has told The Daily Caller that a policy shift will ban “secret science” and make future regulations contingent on the evidence that backs them being viewable by the public.
               According to Pruitt, “We need to make sure [the] data and methodology are published as part of the record. Otherwise, it’s not transparent. It’s not objectively measured, and that’s important.” He also noted, “When we do contract that science out, sometimes the findings are published; we make that part of our rule-making processes, but then we don’t publish the methodology and data that went into those findings because the third party who did the study won’t give it to us.
               Pruitt’s right: “You and every American citizen across the country deserve to know what’s the data, what’s the methodology that was used to reach that conclusion that was the underpinning of … rules that were adopted by this agency.” Frankly, it’s a shame this measure hasn’t been a mainstay from the beginning.
               Without accountability and transparency, career officials at the EPA have extreme leeway in deciding what is and is not a legitimate scientific finding. It creates the perfect environment for regulatory abuse. A devious person is basically free to contrive anything he or she desires.
               Like polling, science can be engineered to reflect grievances or bias. It’s natural and healthy to assume that people or agencies that want to hide their methodologies when such massive economic tolls are at stake have far more than just privacy concerns in mind. It’s far likelier they are protecting an agenda.
               We’ll never know how many billions of dollars have been wasted through years of faux scientific justification, but kudos to Pruitt for rectifying the problem.  ~The Patriot Pos
