Why Won’t the U.S. Insist Iran Recognize Israel as Part of Nuclear Agreement? Obama Answers | TheBlaze.com

Why Won’t the U.S. Insist Iran Recognize Israel as Part of Nuclear Agreement? Obama Answers | TheBlaze.com:

"President Barack Obama dismissed any expectation that Iran should recognize the nation of Israel as part of the nuclear agreement reached last week.

“The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won’t sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms,” Obama said in an interview with National Public Radio set to air in full Tuesday morning. “And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment.”

GOP Moving Towards Criminal Charges Against Hillary Clinton | John Hawkins' Right Wing News

GOP Moving Towards Criminal Charges Against Hillary Clinton | John Hawkins' Right Wing News:

"If Hillary Clinton was a low-level, unconnected government employee, she would have been been behind bars by now. The news keeps getting worse about the extent she abused the law to hide official government emails: using her own email server, secretly emailing about Benghazi and then wiping the server clean. Now Congress is considering criminal charges against her."

Dude, all my bugs died........Questions arise over safe pesticide use in marijuana industry

Questions arise over safe pesticide use in marijuana industry - Watchdog.org
Questions about pesticide application to marijuana plants in Colorado and potential pest contamination to other crops have revealed gaps in the agricultural knowledge surrounding the state’s burgeoning industry.
Prior to the 2012 passage of Colorado’s Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana, its cultivation was allowed only in licensed medical marijuana operations.
The marijuana plant, Cannabis Sativa, is currently classified as a noxious weed in many states.
A recent Denver Post article about the quarantining of hundreds of marijuana plants at a commercial facility due to the improper use and application of pesticides and fungicides, brought to light an issue that has received little or no attention from the general public.
According to the March 23 story:
The state of Colorado has long had “best practices” type of guidance for pesticide use by pot growers, but the state has yet to conclude work on implementing rules for pesticide use in the industry.
Agriculture regulators generally require pesticides to be used as labeled. 
But because there aren’t any pesticides labeled for use on marijuana, growers are asked to use pesticides labeled for “unspecified crops and/or plants.

Lots of folks seem to hate Clinton's bill-----What’s the Difference Between Federal and State RFRAs? And Other Questions Answered

What’s the Difference Between Federal and State RFRAs? And Other Questions Answered « Alliance Defending Freedom Blog
Earlier this week, we responded to three arguments from those who oppose state-level religious freedom laws. 
Today, we’ll answer more of your questions from the comments, Facebook, and Twitter:
Q: Yes or no – RFRAs have only been used to deny service to LGBT people, and just like Jim Crow laws, they could allow people to deny service because of their “sincerely held religious belief.”

No – the reason this keeps coming up is because many people don’t have accurate information on RFRAs, or they’re intentionally misrepresenting the law. 

The facts: this law doesn’t “pre-determine” winners and losers – it just gives both sides a fair hearing in court. 

It limits government power over citizens’ lives, unless there’s a compelling reason for the government to force someone to violate their religious belief.

Every American should have the freedom to live and work consistently with their faith.

Why wouldn’t someone support everyone having a fair hearing in court?

Put morons in charge.......Stolen Flint police guns used in crimes around Michigan

Stolen Flint police guns used in crimes around Michigan | MLive.com:
"In all, 17 service pistols and shotguns belonging to Flint police are officially listed as stolen, while another 22 guns used by Flint police are listed as lost or missing -- including a sub-machine gun and a short-barreled shotgun.
Police department records obtained by The Flint Journal through the Freedom of Information Act detail how poor record keeping, break-ins and questionable gun storage practices allowed these firearms to go missing from Flint police inventory.
It was only after a long-overdue inventory of the Flint police property room was finally done in February that the scope of the losses was discovered."

Put morons in charge? Get moronic decisions. Who'd of guessed?-----Nashville Farmers’ Market new policy takes effect

Nashville Farmers’ Market new policy takes effect:
"The new rules banning re-sold products at the Nashville Farmers’ Market took effect this weekend, leading to a mostly vacant market building once packed with produce stands.
Under the new guidelines, vendors must own their property or have a land lease. 
That means grocery-style resellers with a wide array of produce year-round are not allowed. Instead, the market’s board hopes more local farmers who grow their own food will fill the area.
But with spring just arriving, vegetables aren’t ready to be sold and just two vendors were in the produce market building on Sunday. 
...The Nashville Farmers’ Market board adopted the new policy to raise its standards for quality and to benefit local farmers and vendors...."

While the Nuclear Negotiations Were Going On, Iran Was Secretly Giving a Terror Group a Helping Hand, Report Claims | TheBlaze.com

While the Nuclear Negotiations Were Going On, Iran Was Secretly Giving a Terror Group a Helping Hand, Report Claims | TheBlaze.com:

"On Friday, Netanyahu said that any final agreement over Iran’s nuclear program must include Iranian recognition of Israel’s right to exist.

“Israel demands that any permanent agreement with Iran will include a clear Iranian recognition of Israel’s right to exist,” Netanyahu said.

The State Department rejected that demand, spokeswoman Marie Harf telling reporters Friday: “This is an agreement that is only about the nuclear issue.”

Grasping For Pause-ible Deniability On Climate Change

Grasping For Pause-ible Deniability On Climate Change:
Has Climate Change Alarmism Hit Rock Bottom?

Now, after a roller coaster of emotions and barrage of media tantrums, it seems the issue is settled, sort of. In a recent paper in the journal Science, a team of researchers actually acknowledges the pause and attempts to explain it. But it’s not just any team—it includes prominent climate-change crusader and plaintiff to right-wing pundits Michael Mann.

Mann’s endorsement of a pause is about as close to acceptance as possible, the theological equivalent of Richard Dawkins saying, ‘Okay, so maybe there’s a God.’

Mann’s endorsement of a pause is about as close to acceptance as possible, the theological equivalent of Richard Dawkins saying, “Okay, so maybe there’s a God.” It was Mann that created the infamous “hockey stick” graph so often referenced by the climate-change crowd.

But Mann’s admission comes with a qualifier. Oscillations in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans have created what he conveniently labels a “false pause,” and when it has run its course global warming will accelerate even faster than it never did before. When does this Mad Max-style scenario start? Well no one can say for sure, but it’s coming, just you wait.

Not surprisingly the media was quick to trumpet Mann’s theory, and the impending doom it predicts, rather than any admission of an actual pause.

“The Pause in Global Warming is Finally Explained,” Scientific American assures us; “The global warming slowdown is real—but that’s no reason to question climate science,” sneers the Washington Post; “Scientists now know why global warming has slowed down and it’s not good news for us,” proclaims a recent headline on Quartz.com.

Quotable quotes on a deal with Iran

Quotable quotes on a deal with Iran | Power Line

* Defecting Rouhani aide speaking in Lausanne: “The U.S. negotiating team are mainly there to speak on Iran’s behalf with other members of the 5+1 countries and convince them of a deal.”

* While the West makes concessions, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards central Baij militia unit — one Mohammad Reza Naqdi — asserted on Tuesday that “erasing Israel off the map” is “non-negotiable[.]”

* Taking a different line from Obama’s cheerleaders at the New York Times, The Times of London editorializes (behind the Times of London’s subscription paywall): “If a deal on Iran’s nuclear programme is clinched, it will be hailed as a diplomatic breakthrough. It will be nothing of the kind. If the framework agreement is signed on the basis of current drafts it will a reckless recasting of the Middle East. The determination to notch up at least one success in Middle East peacemaking has, however, led Mr Obama to make ill-considered concessions…The deal is flawed and … naive. Instead of containing Iran’s nuclear ambitions, this deal may simply give Tehran carte blanche to plan a future with its own bomb.”

Hillary Clinton CLEARLY LIED and these Emails Prove It! - Eagle Rising

Hillary Clinton CLEARLY LIED and these Emails Prove It! - Eagle Rising:

"So, one of the most corrupt women from one of the most corrupt families in the united States wants to be president, but she doesn't have a clue about national security as evidenced in Benghazi and her criminal actions in which she violated federal law by setting up an illegal email server. I think she might be better suited for a rock quarry at this point than the Oval Office, but it's her lies about it all that are right in the faces of the people of America without any justice being rendered on this 60's radical hag."

Pigs Eat Free! Michelle Obama’s School Lunches Tossed by Kids, End Up in Farm Animals | John Hawkins' Right Wing News

Pigs Eat Free! Michelle Obama’s School Lunches Tossed by Kids, End Up in Farm Animals | John Hawkins' Right Wing News:

"While no one can blame Wade and other farmers for utilizing this newly available resource for the betterment of their animals, American taxpayers might not like the idea that their money is going to feed pigs instead of children.

Saner heads might suggest the best way to stop waste is not to create it in the first place.

Here’s the cold, hard truth: those who promote a nannystate should remember that Americans do not easily accept a government that rules under the premise of “we know what’s best.” The fact that Michelle’s “healthy food” is so universally despised indicates that this entire campaign has been a complete failure."
