Vietnam Stolen Valor Lie From
Sen Blumenthal – Trump Reminder
{rickwells.us} ~ /As Senator Richard Blumenthal assumes a leading role in the Democrat/ establishment coup underway against President Trump... it seems like a good time to look at the controversial claims he made about having served in Vietnam. He claimed he had been in combat when he was actually a “toys for tots” specialist. Back when MSNBC was much more like a real news network, in 2010, Chuck Todd interviews two experts, Tom Davis and Martin Frost, on the situation in that Senate race involving Democrat and establishment henchman, Richard “Stolen Valor” Blumenthal. He plays a clip of Blumenthal deliberately lying about his not having served in Vietnam. Blumenthal says, “We have learned something very important since the days that I served in Vietnam.” He has never been to Vietnam, as most Americans are learning, yet he has the nerve and lack of integrity to accuse President Trump of misdeeds that there is absolutely no indication of, let alone any evidence.... http://rickwells.us/vietnam-stolen-valor-lie-sen-blumenthal-trump-reminder/

Jeff Sessions Hammers
Rahm Emanuel Over Sanctuary City Lawsuit
by Chuck Ross
{dailycaller.com} ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions had harsh words for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday after he and other city leaders announced a lawsuit against the Justice Department over its policy regarding so-called sanctuary cities... “They have demonstrated an open hostility to enforcing laws designed to protect law enforcement — Federal, state, and local — and reduce crime, and instead have adopted an official policy of protecting criminal aliens who prey on their own residents,” Sessions said in a surprisingly combative statement. “No amount of federal taxpayer dollars will help a city that refuses to help its own residents,” he added... http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/07/jeff-sessions-hammers-rahm-emanuel-over-sanctuary-city-lawsuit/

Researcher Claims To Have Evidence One Of EPA’s Most Successful Clean Air Rules Is Based On Fabricated Data
by Michael Bastasch
{dailycaller.com} ~ One of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) longest and most successful air pollution standards is based on a taxpayer-funded study plagued by “data fabrication and falsification,” according to a veteran toxicologist... Toxicologist Albert Donnay says he’s found evidence a 1989 study commissioned by EPA on the health effects of carbon monoxide, which, if true, could call into question 25 years of regulations and billions of dollars on catalytic converters for automobiles. “They claimed to find an effect when there wasn’t one,” Donnay told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “They even fabricated the methods they used to get their results.”... http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/07/exclusive-researcher-claims-to-have-evidence-one-of-epas-most-successful-clean-air-rules-is-based-on-fabricated-data/.
Anthem pulling out of liar-nObamacare Market
by Nathaniel Weixel
{thehill.com} ~ Anthem BlueCross BlueShield will completely exit Nevada’s liar-nObamaCare exchange next year, the state’s insurance commissioner said Monday... The company had previously said it would only offer plans in three urban counties in the state, leaving people in 14 counties without an insurer for 2018. “We … remain optimistic that there will be coverage for consumers on the exchange throughout the state,” Nevada Insurance Commissioner Barbara Richardson said in a statement... http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/state-issues/345617-anthem-to-exit-obamacare-markets-in-nevada

Maxine WATERS Supports BLACKS ONLY
Political Party – To Exercise Their POWER
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Racist Congesshag Maxine Waters made an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” radio show on Monday, where their “values” menu includes only black coffee... The host asks Waters an obvious question for someone with her overt hatred of white folks, “Do you think black people should start their own political party?” She answers with a less-than-forthright sounding, “No, not at this point.” Which effectively means she thinks it’s a great idea once they have ridden the white Democrat train as far as it will take them. She explains, “You’ve got to show that you’re willing and you’re able to put the numbers together and exercise your influence. We [sic] still not voting our influence yet. I think what we should do is organize our power, exercise our power, particularly in the Democrat Party, because that’s where most of us are.”...Who is racist now, Waters? http://rickwells.us/maxine-waters-supports-blacks-political-party-exercise-power/

{townhall.com} ~ Like the road to Hell, liberal ideas are usually paved with good intentions. But, as Ronald Reagan once said, "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." And all that vast “unknowledge” births monster government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency.
Today’s EPA is an agency gone-wild, filled with environmental extremists and deep state holdovers who have little accountability for their actions. They arrogantly create rules like the “Clean Power Plan” which the Institute for Energy Research [IER] said was filled with about as much junk as the EPA and its contractors pumped into Colorado’s Animas River in 2015.
EPA’s new administrator, Scott Pruitt, visited the Animas River site August 4 saying the agency “should be held to the same standard as those we regulate.” Pruitt said the liar-nObama administration “failed those who counted on them to protect the environment.” They also refused to pay claims to many of those they harmed due to “sovereign immunity.”
President Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” is happening organically with employees resigning over Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement as well as his March 28 executive order mandating review of the Clean Power Plan which effectually triggers the skyrocketing electricity prices liar-nObama promised.
The EPA claimed the plan would “save” thousands of lives, probably as effectively as liar-nObama’s stimulus plan “saved” jobs. It was also supposed to improve the climate and our health, that is, barring more EPA-caused environmental disasters like the Animas River spill.
Environmentalists have gone bonkers over Trump mandating a review of this costly and burdensome plan, but were mysteriously silent when the Animas spill caused $400 million in economic damage when it sent 3 million gallons of tainted wastewater into rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.
We are expected to ignore that the Clean Power Plan will, at best, reduce global temperatures by a negligible one hundredth of a degree, Celsius, according to the liar-nObama administration’s former Assistant Secretary of Energy, Charles McConnell.
The plan offers little mercy to millions of Americans burning wood to stay warm, imposing a ban on the sale and production of 80 percent of America's wood burning stoves. Forbes.com says, "Most wood stoves that warm cabins and homes from coast-to-coast can't meet that standard. Older stoves that don't, cannot be traded in for updated types, but instead must be rendered inoperable, destroyed, or recycled as scrap metal."
Or, maybe the EPA could just throw scrapped stoves down the Animas River.
In the aftermath of the toxic spill, and with infinitesimal accountability for its actions, this agency marches forward in an unrelenting mission to control our lives, one unlegislated regulation at a time.
A Wyoming man had to sue the EPA to get it off his back for building a stock pond on his property. He was threatened with $37,500 per day fines because “material” from his pond flows into other waterways. It mattered not that the “other waterways” is a manmade irrigation ditch where the water is used for agriculture. Nor did it matter that the Wyoming State Engineer's Office permitted the pond.
Certainly, the "material" from his pristine pond, fit for fish and waterfowl to flourish and cattle to drink, did not turn waterways a toxic Animas River orange.
We know by watching all those lousy pharmaceutical ads the cure is often worse than the disease. And so it goes with the EPA. Back in the 1970s, it banned mosquito-killing DDT after an overreaction to an unsubstantiated book. Scientists today credit tens of millions of needless malaria related deaths to the ban.
Seemingly, for every benefit derived from EPA meddling, there's a list of damaging side effects as long as the Animas River. If Trump wants to prove he really cares about the environment, he could start with this heavy-handed bureaucracy swamp in dire need of draining.
