 Judging nObama's Clean Power Grab

James Shott: After the U.S. Supreme Court stayed implementation of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) on Feb. 9, pending judicial review, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia has begun hearings to resolve the issue. The CPP is the nObama administration's next step to impose severe restrictions on burning fossil fuels to save the world from supposed climate change from carbon emissions. The agenda is control.
          Barack nObama's EPA explains the regulation this way: "On August 3, 2015, President nObama and EPA announced the Clean Power Plan — a historic and important step in reducing carbon pollution from power plants that takes real action on climate change. Shaped by years of unprecedented outreach and public engagement, the final Clean Power Plan is fair, flexible and designed to strengthen the fast-growing trend toward cleaner and lower-polluting American energy. With strong but achievable standards for power plants, and customized goals for states to cut the carbon pollution that is driving climate change, the Clean Power Plan provides national consistency, accountability and a level playing field while reflecting each state's energy mix. It also shows the world that the United States is committed to leading global efforts to address climate change."
          That garbage notwithstanding, 27 states and a group of private companies and trade associations challenged the CPP on grounds that it's exceedingly costly executive overreach. The regulation seeks to cut carbon dioxide emissions in the energy industry by over 30% and to effectively nationalize the country's electric power grid. The regulation, which runs 1,500 pages, gives the federal government authority over how states use their natural resources.
          There are significant problems with the CPP. For starters, it's another example of what is effectively the executive branch making law, a function plainly reserved for the legislative branch by the U.S. Constitution. However, Congress frequently abdicates this responsibility, and effectively and unconstitutionally transfers it to the executive branch. The CPP also breaches the Tenth Amendment protections of the states against improper encroachment by the federal government, and it was this aspect of the CPP that prompted the Supreme Court to call a timeout.
          West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, challenging the CPP on Tenth Amendment grounds (State of West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency), said after the court session that the way EPA set its goals is key to the case. The Daily Signal notes that "the Clean Power Plan seeks to reverse what may be natural climate fluctuation at the cost of creating power blackouts, higher energy costs, job losses in the energy sector, and price spikes throughout the nation's economy, including for necessities such as food and water."
          The Heritage Foundation predicts the following effects of the CPP:
  • An average annual employment shortfall of nearly 300,000 jobs;
  • A peak employment shortfall of more than one million jobs;
  • A loss of more than $2.5 trillion (inflation-adjusted) in aggregate GDP; and
  • A total income loss of more than $7,000 (inflation-adjusted) per person.
And for what great and noble end would the EPA impose this misery on the nation?
          Heritage cites climatologists Paul Knappenberger and Patrick Michaels, who used the "Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change" developed with support from the EPA, and estimate that the climate regulations will reduce warming by a meager 0.018 degree Celsius by 2100.
          Oral arguments began last Wednesday, and Scientific American magazine reports that both sides in the case thought the EPA arguments had the edge in the nearly seven-hour court session that involved 10 of the Circuit's 11 judges, rather than just the normal three-judge panel. Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland recused himself from the proceedings.
          "The most contentious questions focused on a big issue: how the regulation set state-specific carbon levels for power plants," the magazine noted. "Rather than looking at what individual coal plants could do to limit greenhouse gas emissions, EPA assumed the industry as a whole could accelerate a trend away from coal and toward cleaner natural gas and renewable power."
          The EPA's arguments predictably did not sit well with the CPP's challengers. Lawyers representing the 27 states and the private companies allied with them "argued that EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Air Act, moving into Congress' turf and violating a separation of powers."
          Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a George W. Bush appointee, said that while curbing greenhouse gas emissions is a "laudable" goal, "global warming isn't a blank check" for the administration. "I understand the frustration with Congress," he said, but the rule is "fundamentally transforming an industry." The executive branch does not have that authority.
          The outcome is definitely uncertain, with judges expressing both support and opposition to the CPP. A decision from the DC Circuit might not come until early next year, and the Supreme Court's final action might be delayed until 2018.
          The administration's manic, emotional and weak theory about carbon emissions threatening life as we know it brought forth a question from authors Stephen Moore and Kathleen Hartnett White in their excellent new book, "Fueling Freedom: Exposing the Mad War on Energy" — "How can carbon be a weapon of mass destruction and the basis of all known life" at the same time?  ~The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Rich Lowry: "The so-called net operating loss carryforward that Trump took advantage of is not an exotic loophole in the tax code. Many industrialized countries have similar provisions. In 2014, more than a million taxpayers declared net operating losses. The provision simply reflects that if you, say, lose $100,000 setting up a business and earn $50,000 the next year, it makes no sense for the government to tax the $50,000 as if it were the only part of the equation; the loss should be accounted for, too. ... The damage to Trump of the Times story is probably not his tax strategy. ... Rather, the vulnerability for Trump is the fact — stated in black and white in his own filings — that he lost nearly a billion dollars by recklessly overextending himself in the 1990s. This will be thrown back at him every time he touts his business acumen. In other words, all the time. ... If Trump had released his taxes or even some of them, he wouldn't have been vulnerable to a leak that, coincidentally, hit the news as the campaign enters the homestretch. He has enough enemies that he could be certain that information about his taxes would get out, and there may be yet more to come. He teed up this October Surprise."  ~The Patriot Post

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization voted on 13th October against the very principles that it was created... UNESCO was founded in 1945 after World War Two to establish humanity's moral and intellectual solidarity. It says it strives to build networks among nations to enable this kind of solidarity. These were its founding principles. Oh, how have the mighty fallen. With shocking disregard to historic evidence, it insulted and denied the heritage of two of the world's greatest religions, Judaism and Christianity, when it passed a resolution that denied Jewish, and therefore Christian, ties to the Temple Mount. The October vote shattered thousands of years of faith, belief, historical, archaeological and literal fact...

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ The mainstream media, by ignorance or design, consistently and grossly underestimates the nuclear and missile threat from North Korea... Most press and TV reporting gives the impression that North Korea has only a tiny and primitive nuclear arsenal 6-10 weapons is an oft reported number, missiles so unreliable that they are not a credible threat, and no capability to strike the U.S. mainland. There are many and profound unknowns about North Korea's nuclear weapons and missile capabilities. Precisely for this reason, the North Korean nuclear threat should be described as including a range of credible possibilities, and not as a single point on that range of possibilities--and certainly not as the lowest, least threatening, estimate. Reporters and their "experts" who prefer to low-ball the North Korean nuclear threat, pleading analytical conservatism, are in reality incautious and irresponsible. The public and their policymakers--who may hope for the best but should plan for the worst--are poorly served by the  gross underestimation of the North Korean nuclear threat prevailing in the mainstream media...

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Off the coast of Yemen and at the UN Security Council we are seeing the strategic endgame of Barack nObama's administration. And it isn't pretty... Since Sunday, Iran's Houthi proxies in Yemen have attacked US naval craft three times in the Bab al Mandab, the narrow straits at the mouth of the Red Sea. The Bab al Mandab controls maritime traffic in the Red Sea, and ultimately control the Suez Canal. Whether the Iranians directed these assaults or simply greenlighted them is really beside the point. The point is that these are Iranian strikes on the US. The Houthis would never have exposed themselves to US military retaliation if they hadn't been ordered to do so by their Iranian overlords. The question is why has Iran chosen to open up an assault on the US?...

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ For the American voter, issues of immense urgency to the survival of the free world -- such as individual freedom, dispassionate enquiry and freedom of speech and thought, which we dangerously have come to take for granted... are being derailed by crude language and behavior, when Americans need to be paying attention to serious threats to the United States, its allies and to the values of the West. Internationally, these threats come from Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, and countless terrorist groups. Domestically, they appear in the form of massive corruption -- financial and otherwise -- that is visibly hollowing out American institutions, such as the FBI (the failure to follow investigative procedure, followed by calls for FBI Director James Comey's resignation); the Department of Justice (the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking scandal, and the Attorney General meeting with a former president whose wife is under investigation); the State Department (email leaks are still yielding up evidence of collusion between the liar-Clinton Global Initiative and the State Department under liar-Hillary Clinton); the IRS (targeting conservative non-profits, and raiding the businesses of private citizens, who disagree with policy); the Environmental Protection Agency's attempt to acquire power over every puddle in America) and the Executive branch in the "I have a pen and I have a phone" president's dealings with Iran...

It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching . . . then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.” The sausage maker was Mrs. liar-Clinton, giving one of her $225,000 speeches that she’s so long sought to conceal from the public, in this instance to the National Multi-Housing Council in April 2013. It came at a time when the just-retired secretary of state was coyly gearing up for a White House run, little tin cup at the ready, raking in nearly a million dollars that month alone….  http://nypost.com/2016/10/15/the-hillary-emails-reveal-a-life-full-of-deceit/

He began by asking his audience, “Are you ready to take back America?” Following their affirmative response, Admiral Lyons says, “Your presence here says it all. You understand we have not only a constitutional crisis but a national security crisis.” Lyons asks what our conservative leadership has done, saying, “Our conservative leadership has failed to understand they were given control of Congress to stop the fundamental transformation of America, not to facilitate it. And then, what did they do? They funded all of ‘president’ nObama’s illegal programs. While at the same time ignoring his over fourteen impeachable offenses. This is unconscionable. So, where do we go from there?” Admiral Lyons said, “You know we have, as ‘president’ nObama has said, he wants to fundamentally transform America. Well what is it? Well let me tell you. It’s un-American, it’s anti-Western, but pro-Islam, pro-Iranian, and pro-Muslim Brotherhood. You have to ask yourself, why would an American ‘president’ embrace the Muslim Brotherhood, whose creed is to destroy us from within, with our own miserable hand, and replace our Constitution with Draconian Sharia Law?”...  http://rickwells.us/adm-ace-lyons-clinton-obama-changed-sides-funded-armed-al-qaeda-isis-mb/

{sharylattkisson.com} ~ Regardless of who is your chosen – or least favorite – presidential candidate, independent minds should be concerned about the latest revelations in the news media’s unseemly relationships with government and political actors... While there are many responsible journalists working today, inside documents and leaks have exposed serious lapses constituting the most far-reaching scandal our industry has known. It’s our very own Newsgate. Compromised reporting has always existed as a result of covert collaborations between reporters and political officials—Democrats and Republicans alike. For example, in my new book out next year, The Smear, I’ll report on instances of improper collusion that surfaced during the Bush administration. The most recent available evidence is heavy on Democrat-ties due to the nature of the available documents and leaks. It can be argued that some individual accounts can be rationalized and are not serious breaches of ethics. But taken as a whole, it’s easy to see how we as journalists have done a poor job protecting ourselves from being co-opted by organized interests, often ones that are paid and politically-motivated. Whether we realize it or not, they’ve figured out how to exploit the media and use us to publish their propaganda. It implies a broad and growing trend that has seriously undermined the credibility of the news industry... https://sharylattkisson.com/newsgate-2016/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29

Faux Outrage, Lies, and
More Media Bias Against Trump

{aim.org} ~ In what we have described as a “shock and awe” campaign, the media want us to believe there’s a right and wrong regarding Donald Trump and women... but not a right and wrong when it comes to what the liar-Clintons, the Kennedys and the Democratic Party elites do and say. On November 8, says Michelle nObama, “…let’s elect liar-Hillary Clinton and other Democrats who share our values and can be role models for our children.” So let’s consider Al Gore, the former vice president who recently hit the campaign trail for liar-Hillary. There’s a 73-page police report detailing how Al Gore made unwanted sexual advances during an encounter with a massage therapist back in 2006. “She gave police a very detailed description of her encounter with Gore at the Hotel Lucia in Portland, Oregon,” said the Nashville City Paper. The 73-page file includes transcripts of the interview in which the masseuse “described being fondled, groped and tongue kissed.” Gore denied the charges and the police dropped the case, saying they couldn’t prove it. Gore later separated from his wife and they eventually got a divorce. In any case, the “allegation” doesn’t get media play and isn’t used to discredit Gore or his candidate, liar-Hillary Clinton, with whom he shared the stage on October 11. As usual, Breitbart captured the irony with a story headlined, “Media Silent as liar-Hillary Speaks with Accused Sex Predator Al Gore.”...  http://www.aim.org/aim-column/faux-outrage-lies-and-more-media-bias-against-trump/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email101716&utm_medium=email

2016 Election Choices: Guaranteed
Disaster or Risky River Landing
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com/} ~ An 11-year old lewd comment by Donald Trump that the liar-Clinton campaign dredged from the sewer reminds us America is in a nose dive and set to crash.

So a little perspective here. Like it or not, either a crude buffoon with a Godly Vice President will win the election – or we choose a lying, cheating, corrupt criminal who is married to a rapist and supports killing full-term babies on the taxpayers’ dime. Women: liar-Hillary also defended a rapist against a 12-year old girl, calling the little girl a liar. Tim Kaine’s stance echoes hers.

Let’s not forget that our coolest president ever, nObama, hangs out with Jay-Z and Beyoncé in his spare time, when he’s not busy stomping on the United States Constitution. For those living in Bluebird-and-Butterfly-Land, google Jay-Z’s lyrics to “Is that Yo, Bi***.” Our coolest prez ever says liar-Hillary will continue his legacy and will flush that which he’s already placed in the toilet.

I know this is hard for the snowflakes among us to handle, so I suggest you retreat to a safe place until after November 8.

And for the rest of us, let’s talk about tough choices and unwelcomed events which either draw out the hidden hero within or send tail-tucked snowflakes into their thumb-sucking corners.

On January 15, 2009, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger showed us what heroes are made of when he was faced with an unanticipated event for which he’d never been specifically trained, when the Airbus A320 he piloted hit a flock of birds, disabling both engines.

Later that year in an interview with Newsweek, Sully said, “When we struck them and the engines were damaged, I knew in that moment that it was going to be a life-changing event – that this was going to be unlike any experience I had ever had. I knew it was going to be the hardest day of my life, the biggest problem I would ever have to solve. But I was confident I could solve it. I never thought I would die that day. I was just trying to make sure that no one else did.”

All 155 souls on board survived, thanks to God’s grace and Sully’s clear-minded understanding that whether he liked it or not, he only had one choice and successfully executed an emergency landing on the Hudson River.

Sully didn’t sulk about the lack of good choices. Nor did he complain about the most unfortunate of circumstances on a day he described to Newsweek as “a day like literally 10,000 other days – until it wasn’t.”

But, unlike Captain Sullenberger, too many snowflakes are so busy sulking about poor choices, they don’t understand America is on a collision course with liar-Hillary in the captain’s seat.

Captain Sullenberger knew every option before him was bad, so he chose the one which would save the most lives and discarded the one he knew would be guaranteed disaster.

liar-Hillary Clinton is guaranteed disaster.

So it’s time to lay aside petty differences and rise to the occasion, understanding we only have one choice. This election is not about us. Nor is it about our likes or dislikes, personal preferences or wish lists. Nor is it about partisan politics. It’s not about you. Or me.  Not this time. Not this election.

So don’t be a snowflake. Rise up, be the hero of this story. Ask the 155 Miracle on the Hudson survivors if a risky river landing trumps a guaranteed plane wreck.
