More Judicial Overreach Stymies Trump's
Deregulation Agenda
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, recently reversed the decision by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt of a 90-day stay on implementing new methane emissions regulations created during the final year of Barack liar-nObama's presidency. Pruitt argued that the stay was needed in order to thoroughly review the financial impact of the new regulations on the fossil fuel industry. Even the EPA estimated the compliance cost to be as high as $530 million, which means it would most likely be far higher. Pruitt further argued that not enough time was given for the oil industry to weigh in before the regulation went into effect.
The court rejected Pruitt's argument, with the majority stating, "The administrative record thus makes clear that industry groups had ample opportunity to comment on all four issues on which EPA granted reconsideration, and indeed, that in several instances the agency incorporated those comments directly into the final rule."
But there's one big problem here that demonstrates yet another example of judicial overreach in the era of Donald Trump. This action taken by the court is extraordinary in that the court itself has recognized that its authority is limited to the reviewing of "final agency actions," which clearly EPA Director Pruitt's 90-day stay does not merit. In her dissenting opinion, Judge Janice Rogers blasted the majority opinion, stating, "In contrast to our precedent, the Court's opinion concludes a particular administration proceeding has innumerable final agency actions, including intermediate decisions. No authority supports this proposition."
Pruitt can appeal to the Supreme Court, but he won't get a ruling on it until next year, and in the meantime the liar-nObama-era regulation will go into effect. This is yet another reason for Trump to get busy putting conservative judges on the bench. It's clear that the Left will continue to appeal to activist judges to block as much of Trump's agenda as possible. ~The Patriot Post

Repeal liar-nObamacare Now, Replace
In Two Years – Trump, McConnell Change Tactics
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Two more GOP Senators, Mike Lee (R-UT) and Jerry Moran (R-KS), joined Rand Paul (R-KY) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in opposing the liar-nObamacare repeal and replace bill that was already on life support late Monday... The loss of those two potential “yes” votes doomed the legislation. With it evident that no compromise bill was going to make it out of the Senate, President Trump, tweeted, followed shortly after by a statement from Senate Majority Leader McConnell, a change in tactics. McConnell called for a vote to repeal liar-nObamacare without an immediate replacement. His statement read, “Regretfully, it’s now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of liar-nObamacare will not be successful.”...http://rickwells.us/repeal-obamacare-now-replace-two-years-trump-mcconnell-change-tactics/.
Trump Administration Recertifies Iran Deal
by Alex Pfeiffer
{dailycaller.com} ~ The Trump administration recertified the Iranian nuclear deal Monday. The agreement, also known as the JCPOA, went into effect in October 2015 and is between China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the U.S., the European Union, and Iran... President liar-nObama said the agreement would stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, although then-candidate Trump slammed it and promised to “rip up” the deal. Senior administration officials, however, told reporters that Iran has followed the conditions laid out in the nuclear deal and thus it will be recertified. A senior official said that Iran is not following the “spirit” of the agreement, therefore new sanctions will be levied against Iran. A senior administration official pointed to Iran’s missile development, hostility to Israel, cyberattacks against foreign nations, and human rights abuses as causes for concern... http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/17/trump-administration-recertifies-iran-deal/.
Some Republicans Want
Rule Changed To Stop Dem Obstruction
by Kerry Picket
{dailycaller.com} ~ Some Republicans hinted Monday they are ready to strike back at Democrats for “abusing” a Senate procedure to slow down President Trump’s nominees... “I’m in favor of it. I was in favor of it when we talked about it earlier. If Democrats continue to be obstructionists like that have been I think we would have to start looking at that option very seriously,” Wyoming Republican Sen. John Barasso told The Daily Caller Monday. Although all presidential appointments now only require a simple majority vote known as a cloture vote to move forward from debate for a final up or down vote, the minority can still demand 30 hours of non-continuous floor debate before the procedure...http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/17/some-republicans-want-rule-changed-to-stop-dem-obstruction/.

Israel To BUILD ISLAND Off Gaza For ‘Palestinians’ including cargo terminal and an airport
by Pamela Geller
{pamelageller.com} ~ The five billion euro project, which includes a cargo terminal and an airport, is designed, Israel says, to boost the impoverished Palestinian enclave’s economy and the humanitarian needs of its nearly two million residents... The Islamist militant group Hamas has controlled Gaza for much of the past decade but Israel says it’s widely perceived as being responsible for the territory as it’s largely the only lifeline to it. “I don’t have any illusion about the Hamas, we know who is the Hamas, who is Yehya Sinwar Hamas leader in Gaza and the other people there. But I’m trying to separate between the civilian problems and military problems,” said Israel Katz, Israeli Intelligence and Transport minister... http://pamelageller.com/2017/07/israel-buidling-palestinian-island.html/

First step to Israel controling holy site?
by Ruth Eglash
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Israel began implementing new security measures, including checkpoints and metal detectors, in Jerusalem's Old City on Sunday, two days after three gunmen killed two police officers at the entrance to one of Islam's holiest sites.
The three perpetrators, Palestinian Muslims with Israeli citizenship, were caught on Israeli police cameras exiting the sacred Al-Aqsa mosque compound, a site that is also revered by Jews, shooting the two officers before darting back inside the esplanade.
The assailants, all from the Arab-Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm, were shot dead at the site by security forces.
Immediately following the incident on Friday morning, Israelis, who refer to the site as the Temple Mount, closed the mosque and prevented worshipers from entering the compound and Old City for the first time since 1969.
The move was condemned by many in the Muslim world, who view the ramped-up security as an attempt by Israel to change the precious status quo at the site, which is often a flash point of violence between the sides.
Israeli police said the measures were a necessary secure the site and ensure there were no other weapons present.
Several members of the Wakf, the Islamic trust that administers the site, were detained by police, suspected of aiding the three attackers or for inciting violence against Israel, local media reported.
In an interview on Israel Army Radio on Sunday, Maj. Gen. Yoram Halevy, the Jerusalem District police commander, said dozens of knives, slingshots, batons, spikes and unexploded ordinances were found during the police sweep.
He also said that Jerusalem municipal workers had entered the mosque on Saturday to clean up after the police.
In the aftermath of the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas held a rare phone call, with Netanyahu imploring that there would be no change to the current arrangements at the complex and Abbas, in a rare move, condemned the violence and called on Netanyahu to reopen the site.
After holding a security briefing Saturday night, Netanyahu agreed to do so, ordering the mosque to reopen on Sunday. However, by early afternoon, only Muslim residents of the city were being allowed to enter, and all worshipers had to pass through newly installed metal detectors.
"Those three who were killed Friday didn't do anything good for Muslims or for Jerusalem," said Hafez Sublaban, who runs a small grocery store opposite one of the entrances to the mosque. "The only ones who benefit from it are the Jews. They have taken advantage of the situation."
Sublaban, who has run his kiosk there for more than 20 years, said he did not recall a situation where worshipers were prevented from entering the mosque. But, he said, residents of Jerusalem's Old City endure surveillance 24 hours a day, seven days a week from hundreds of Israeli police security cameras that dot the narrow alleyways and monitor the entrances to the holy site.
"This is not the right state of mind for those who want to go and worship," said Sublaban.
"This is our mosque and our place of worship, we are against these ruthless procedures," said Umm Amar, a 53-year-old resident of the Old City, about to pass the newly set up Israeli police checkpoint to reach the mosque.
"We don't really know what happened on Friday, only G0D knows that, but what we do know is that it has made the situation worse," she said. "I was born here in 1964, and I don't ever remember a time that the mosque was closed for worship."
A family from Jordan that had arrived in Jerusalem on Saturday stood nearby. Because of the tight security, Israeli police officers turned them away.
"This is unacceptable," said Jamal Ishtwayeh, a resident of Amman. "It's like someone coming here from the Vatican and discovering that their church is closed."
Until now, Israel has allowed security personnel employed by the Wakf, to take responsibility for security arrangements after pressure from Jordan, which oversees the site in a complicated arrangement dating back to the 1967 war.
Jordanian news agency Petra reported that Jordan's King Abdullah telephoned Netanyahu on Saturday. He condemned the violence and called for the mosque to be immediately reopened.
Speaking to Israel Army Radio on Sunday, Israel's Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said that it was up to Israel to decide security protocol for the site and that metal detectors would now be installed at all nine gates into the compound. He also said that police cameras should be able to view the public areas around the mosque.
