Report: Green New Deal Will Impose A $75,000 Per Year Cost On Swing-State Households | The Daily Caller
Report: Green New Deal Will Impose A $75,000 Per Year Cost On Swing-State Households | The Daily Caller:
Americans in nearly a dozen swing states could expect to spend roughly $75,000 per year if the Green New Deal is ever implemented, according to a report Wednesday from a conservative nonprofit group.
The Green New Deal would cost households an average of between $74,287 and $76,683 in Colorado, Michigan and Pennsylvania, among others, a report from the Competitive Enterprise Institute noted. CEI worked with Power the Future and the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty on the report.
“Right now, our booming national economy and record low unemployment rate is driven by abundant, domestic, reliable, and inexpensive energy produced by millions of men and women across the country,” Daniel Turner, executive director of Power the Future, said in a statement.

There’s a very good reason the media is silent about the Milwaukee mass shooting - American Thinker
"On Wednesday, an angry ex-employee got a gun, put a silencer on it, went to the MillersCoors facility where he had once worked, and shot five people to death before shooting himself.
One would expect to have a barrage of news stories about America’s gun violence problem and the need to ban guns.
After all, on Tuesday, before the shooting happened, the Democrat candidates were all over each other trying to explain why each would be more effective at destroying the Second Amendment. Instead, though, we got crickets.

Students are smort!-----UCLA BANS all single-use plastics
UCLA BANS all single-use plastics
"...The new policy will ultimately remove all single-use plastics ranging from cups and cup lids, plastic bags, utensils, bowls, and other “food accessory” items.
The goal for UCLA is to have every dine-in or take-out restaurant, dining halls, events, and even departmental meetings move away from plastics completely and begin using locally compostable or reusable alternatives.
...“As a biology major, I’ve studied how critical a healthy ocean is in fighting climate change, in carbon capture, biodiversity and as an ecosystem,” said UCLA junior, Sithara Menon, chair of the CALPIRG Students UCLA chapter.
“It’s important, as students, that we take what we learn and use it, and I can do that starting here on this campus, helping reduce our plastic addiction.”...

- Similar to a UC-wide policy decision, UCLA shortened its deadlines and more aggressive goals.

AP Confirms: Democrats Are Lying to the Public About Coronavirus Readiness
AP Confirms: Democrats Are Lying to the Public About Coronavirus Readiness:
An Associated Press fact check confirms what Breitbart News reported earlier this week: that Democrat presidential candidates are falsely claiming that President Donald Trump cut funding and personnel needed to fight coronavirus.
On Tuesday, Breitbart News fact-checked “mostly false” claims by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg during the Democrat debate in South Carolina. Bloomberg claimed that Trump had “fired” a pandemic specialist at the White House, and “defunded” the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The implication: Trump was to blame for the spread of coronavirus — even though there have been just over a dozen cases and no fatalities in the U.S.

Perfect example of the fake-news media. And this is AP!---India says US politicizing religious riots in which 30 died
- Fact #1: Trump's visit to India was an unparalleled triumph.
- Fact #2: "...a U.S. government commission" did NOT make the comments. A liberal, Trump-hating, Nancy Pelosi-appointed hack made the comments to her comrades in the press. Her comments were not official statements from ANY government agency.
- Fact #3: The Indian minister's quoted response was to another lying reporter's fake question accusing a US commission of making, the flawed "accusations".
- Fact #4: The AP created a fake headline to deflect us from celebrating an American (President Trump) foreign policy success.
- Fact #5 And tried to create their own fake news: "another gaff from the fools surrounding the dufus who MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE".
India says US politicizing religious riots in which 30 died
NEW DELHI (AP) — India accused a U.S. government commission of politicizing communal violence in New Delhi that killed at least 30 people and injured more than 200 as President Donald Trump was visiting the country.
...On Wednesday, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said it was deeply troubled by the violence and cited accounts that police had not intervened in attacks against Muslims, which police and India’s federal government have denied.
“The government is failing in its duty to protect its citizens,” Commissioner Anurima Bhargava said.
India’s External Affairs Ministry said the commission’s comments (note there are no "s around that) were “factually inaccurate and misleading” and appeared to be “aimed at politicizing the issue.”
...Trump’s first state visit to India included a lavish reception in Modi’s home state of Gujarat and talks with the Indian leader, but the U.S. leader said they didn’t discuss the violence. Trump declined to comment about the citizenship law, saying he wanted to leave that to India, before departing.

House Democrats Block Resolution Condemning Bernie Sanders’s Praise Of Fidel Castro | The Daily Caller:
Despite widespread condemnation by the members of the Democratic Party — including U.S. representatives, presidential candidates and even a DNC spokesperson — no Democratic lawmakers voted to let the resolution move forward.
Democratic Florida Reps. Donna Shalala and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell issued scathing public statements against Sanders’s comments, but both lawmakers on Thursday notably skipped the vote, allowing them to avoid a decision on the resolution.

Don Surber: NYT panics over 2020 race
"Tom Friedman screamed out to his readers in the New York Times this morning in panic.
He told them the Orange Man will win if we don't do something.
We gotta do something. Now, now, now.
He sees the problem as a divided Democrat Party.
He is totally wrong, but his solution was so simplistic that it amused me.
He said build a Team of Rivals, the phrase Gore Vidal used to describe Lincoln's cabinet.
...Friedman's prescription was to have the nominee (Mini Mike or Breadline Bernie) tell the nation, "I want people to know that if I am the Democratic nominee these will be my cabinet choices — my team of rivals.
Democrats are united as never before.
The debates and the recent assemblages of legislatures in New York state and Virginia have made that clear.
Combined they are a disaster for the party.

- I want Amy Klobuchar as my vice president. Her decency, experience and moderation will be greatly appreciated across America and particularly in the Midwest."Translation: we need a woman to balance the ticket, and she is the least insane choice available.
- Going further, the nominee would say, "I want Mike Bloomberg (or Bernie Sanders) as my secretary of the Treasury."Only in Friedmandonia would a capitalist CEO be interchangeable with a communist congressional lifer...

Remember when they fined him for making the suggestion?-----Oregon Engineer Makes History With New Traffic Light Timing Formula - Institute for Justice
Oregon Engineer Makes History With New Traffic Light Timing Formula - Institute for Justice
"Today, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) formally announced that it voted to adopt a new formula for determining the timing of traffic lights.
The vote vindicates the theory of Mats Järlström, who was fined $500 by the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying for publicly criticizing traffic light timing without first obtaining a professional engineering license.
The ITE’s vote updates a 55-year-old equation with Mats’s formula, which takes into account the time drivers need to slow down when making a turn in an intersection.
The vote could have wide-ranging, international ramifications by giving drivers a little more time to get through intersections (and in some cases, avoid frustrating red light tickets)..."
