Michigan Loses ‘Right To Farm’ This Week: A Farewell To Backyard Chickens and Beekeepers
Michigan Loses ‘Right To Farm’ This Week: A Farewell To Backyard Chickens and Beekeepers : "Michigan residents lost their “right to farm” this week.
This is a new ruling by the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Gail Philburn of the Michigan Sierra Club told Michigan Live, the new changes “effectively remove Right to Farm Act protection for many urban and suburban backyard farmers raising small numbers of animals.”
Previously backyard and urban farming were protected by Michigan’s Right to Farm Act but The Commission has ruled that the Right to Farm Act protections no longer apply to many homeowners who keep small amount of livestock.
Kim White, who keeps chickens and rabbits, said, “They don’t want us little guys feeding ourselves. They want us to go all to the big farms.
They want to do away with small farms and I believe that is what’s motivating it.”
The ruling will allow local governments to ban goats, chickens and beehives on any property where there are 13 homes within one eighth mile or a residence within 250 feet of the property."

No longer.
That’s no surprise given how things have worked out for the economically beleaguered country.
According to a new report by the free-market Institute for Energy Research, Spain’s green energy policies have resulted in skyrocketing electricity prices, billions of euros in debt and rising carbon dioxide emissions.
“For years, President Obama has pointed to Europe’s energy policies as an example that the United States should follow,” said IER in a statement on their new study.
“However, those policies have been disastrous for countries like Spain, where electricity prices have skyrocketed, unemployment is over 25 percent, and youth unemployment is over 50 percent.”
......The IER study also notes that Spain’s green agenda was not able to keep its carbon footprint from rising. Between 1994 and 2011, Spain’s carbon dioxide emissions grew 34.5 percent, despite the country’s green push which began in the 1990s.

So, Really, Where Is The .22 Rimfire Ammo? | The Daily Caller:
The major domestic ammunition makers have been producing more ammunition than ever.
They are all up in terms of total production—double, and in some areas, triple-digit increases.
They are all running three shifts.
And when it comes to center-fire cartridges, at least of three of the big makers are caught up and beginning to load either new products, line extensions or specialty loads.
Previously, lower-demand chambering or atypical bullet weights or styles were shelved due the time it took to change over the tooling.
Now, on the center-fire side, anyway, the manufacturers can start to really catch up to demand and get to cartridge producing they have not loaded in two years.
But not on rimfire.
Affordable .22 Long Rifle in particular remains like a Bigfoot sighting.
Despite running three shifts—I recently talked with Federal Premium’s Tim Brandt specifically about this—rimfire capacity is at its maximum at the Federal Premium Anoka, Minn., and CCI, Lewiston, Idaho, plants.
The other rimfire makers in the United States (and some overseas) tell me the same thing.
Maximum production is coming out of all them.
And it is not enough.
Demand for .22 Long Rifle still exceeds production capacity.
The problem with rimfire production is that adding capacity is incredibly expensive and not easy.
The machines are very spendy and cannot just be ordered out of catalog.
And then you have to train the workforce, too, after the tooling is in and the plant built.
And there are aspects of rimfire production one simply cannot rush—nor should it, ever.
The priming of rimfire case borders on alchemy, dangerous alchemy.
And priming compound is something one cannot take any safety shortcuts with, period.
That said, more .22 Long Rifle was produced last year than in any other year in the history of mankind.
And it was still not enough.
So, with demand outstripping supply, hoarding and speculation continue.
Technology, too, has exacerbated the problem.
Social media and instant communication continue to play a role.

WOAH! Obama Pushes to Let Hawaii Secede from Union:
"Still, despite having no Constitutional authority, the Obama administration is continuing to push the policy change that could have far-reaching effects. It is unclear if even the Congress has the authority to allow such policies; it is, however, certain that the executive branch possesses no such powers.
While it is far from certain that Hawaii will be granted the right to secede, what such policy shifts are aimed at is creating a wider divide between races and unapologetically implementing a racial hierarchy with native Hawaiians at the top.
At a time when the most divisive president in history pretends to be interested in equality and egalitarian beliefs, it’s nauseating to see his administration stoke the flames of racial prejudice and seek to codify racial supremacy in law."

With his recent admission that he possesses “no strategy” for dealing with ISIS, it’s clear why Democrats are fleeing from being associated with the president who will go down in history as the only man that could make Jimmy Carter look strong and decisive by comparison."He is still strong in Michigan.

Building affordable rental housing. It’s also hard to find cheap rental housing, and financing for such development is scarce. As part of BoA’s agreement with the Justice Department, the bank will provide $100 million in financing for construction, rehabilitation or preservation of affordable rental multi-family housing. Half of these units must be built in Critical Family Need Housing developments.
Getting rid of blight and preventing future foreclosures.One side effect of the housing crisis was the large number of abandoned or foreclosed homes plaguing neighborhoods across the nation. BoA will earn credit for demolishing abandoned homes, donating properties to land banks, non-profits, or local governments, and providing funds for legal aid organizations and housing counseling agencies.
The bank will also receive credit for forgiving the principal of loans where foreclosure isn’t being pursued.

Libs go stupid as NFL’s Rams cut openly gay Michael Sam
Libs go stupid as NFL’s Rams cut openly gay Michael Sam - BizPac Review:
This was inevitable.
Rookie Michael Sam, heralded as the first openly gay player in the National Football League, was released Saturday by the St. Louis Rams, prompting the liberal blog Mother Jones to run what amounted to a photo of the player, along with a provocative, almost juvenile headline.
The post, “Michael Sam, Who Is Better At Football Than You Will Ever Be At Anything, Has Been Cut By the Rams,” offered no perspective whatsoever. In fact, other than the headline, there were no words.
When Sam was first drafted, it was clear that if he were to eventually be cut, St. Louis would face unfair scrutiny, never mind that the annals of pro football are full of college all stars who failed to catch on in the NFL.
Or that the odds were against Sam from the beginning — gay or not.
It turns out that St. Louis was already deep at the position Sam plays, with two of the best defensive lineman in the NFL already on the squad, and Sam was outplayed by a fellow rookie, an undrafted free agent out of West Texas A&M who led the team in solo tackles in the preseason, according to Fox Sports.
Nevertheless, social media was atwitter about Sam’s release by the Rams and Mother Jones’ proselytizing, as these Twitter users attest:"

With the passage of AB 1739 (Dickinson-D), SB 1168 (Pavley-D), and SB 1319 (Pavley-D), 100 years of history was reversed.
Most of what they said is true.
The only problem they didn’t bother to tell you two key truths:
1.It was these same so-called leaders who give up our seat—the property owner and the farmer’s place at the table—to the enviro-extremists. The fish now have more water rights than do the farmers and ranchers who by making a living off the land, feed this state and this country.
2.By wasting surface water and letting 800,000 acre-feet go out to sea instead of capturing and storing it for the bad years, California’s dysfunctional policies combined with uber-restrictive Federal endangered species protections have created over-dependency on groundwater.
.....This is about power and government control.
Whoever controls the water, controls the people.
Every time the government takes more control over a natural resource, the price goes up.
In this case, the cost of food and energy will be inflated by government, not the marketplace.
When government is the source of inflation, it is only a matter of time until cheaper sources make their way to market from less-regulated states or nations.

Muskegon County gets $65,000 state grant for combat veterans treatment court | MLive.com
MUSKEGON, MI – Muskegon County's 60th District Court has been awarded a $65,000 state grant to run its previously unfunded veterans treatment court.
The grant will fund Muskegon County's program for one year starting Oct. 1. It's from the Michigan Veterans Treatment Court Grant Program, administered by the State Court Administrative Office.
MUSKEGON, MI – Muskegon County's 60th District Court has been awarded a $65,000 state grant to run its previously unfunded veterans treatment court.
"This is good news," said Chief District Judge Maria Ladas Hoopes.
.....Although veterans' treatment courts exist elsewhere in Michigan, Muskegon County's is the only such program in the state to be federally certified by the U.S. Department of Justice, Ladas Hoopes said.
It's been running without funding since January, presided over by Judge Michael J. Nolan.
.......The county is also seeking up to $200,000 in federal grants for the program but hasn't yet received word on whether those will be awarded, according to Ladas Hoopes.
Approximately 10 combat veterans have been participating. County officials hope that number will increase somewhat with the help of grant funding.

Why Students Aren’t Going to College Football Games
Why Students Aren’t Going to College Football Games | Money.com:
"The problem is particularly evident among students, who aren’t buying tickets like generations past. For the upcoming season, the University of Michigan, the winner of no fewer than 11 national championships and 42 conference crowns, projects that student attendance will hit around 13,000—a shocking 40% less than the figure hit last year (roughly 19,000).
It’s not just a problem in Ann Arbor.
The Wall Street Journal reported that student attendance fell 7.1% from 2009 to 2013, and that it has even fallen over the past few years at games hosted by perennial powerhouses such as Ohio State, Michigan State, Florida State, LSU, and the University of Florida.
A year ago, observers took note that home attendance was down for the majority of teams in the SEC, even though the conference has thoroughly dominated college football in recent years.
The two most frequently cited reasons for the ticket slump are simply: 1) higher ticket prices; and 2) less interesting games.
A student season ticket package at Michigan, for instance, now costs $295, up from $205 not long ago.
There are only six homes games in the package, mind you, so that breaks down to just under $50 per game.
“There are students who are being priced out,”"

For the upcoming season, the University of Michigan, the winner of no fewer than 11 national championships and 42 conference crowns, projects that student attendance will hit around 13,000—a shocking 40% less than the figure hit last year (roughly 19,000).
It’s not just a problem in Ann Arbor.
A year ago, observers took note that home attendance was down for the majority of teams in the SEC, even though the conference has thoroughly dominated college football in recent years.
The two most frequently cited reasons for the ticket slump are simply: 1) higher ticket prices; and 2) less interesting games.
A student season ticket package at Michigan, for instance, now costs $295, up from $205 not long ago.
There are only six homes games in the package, mind you, so that breaks down to just under $50 per game.

California passes plastic bag ban, would be first such law in U.S
California passes plastic bag ban, would be first such law in U.S | Reuters:
The California state legislature enacted a ban on plastic grocery bags on Friday near the end of its two-year session, a measure that if signed into law would become the first of its kind in America.
A number of cities and counties in California and other U.S. states, including Hawaii's Maui County, have made it illegal for grocery stores to pack purchases in plastic. But at the state level, opposition from plastic bag makers has usually prevailed.
The California Senate voted 22-15 for the bill, which must be signed into law by Sept. 30 by Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, who has not signaled a position on the measure.
"Single-use plastic bags not only litter our beaches, but also our mountains, our deserts, and our rivers, streams and lakes," said state Senator Alex Padilla, who sponsored the bill.
Padilla backed a similar measure last year but it failed by three votes. The fate of this bill was uncertain until the waning hours of the session after falling three votes short in the state's Assembly on Monday.
But after picking up the support of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, the bill passed a second vote in the Assembly.
The measure would ban grocery stores from handing out single-use grocery bags with customers' purchases, and provide money to local plastic bag companies to retool to make heavier, multiple-use bags that customers could buy.

Myth of arctic meltdown: Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now
- Seven years after former US Vice-President Al Gore's warning, Arctic ice cap has expanded for second year in row
- An area twice the size of Alaska - America's biggest state - was open water two years ago and is now covered in ice
- These satellite images taken from University of Illinois's Cryosphere project show ice has become more concentrated
The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’
Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.
But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012.s ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now | Mail Online\
