144 New Obama Regulations Announced Under Cover of Thanksgiving.  Daily Signal by James Gattuso.   President Obama is nothing if not predictable. Required by law to release plans for new regulations twice a year, the administration has consistently done so just before major holidays, when few are paying attention. Thus, it was no surprise to see his fall 2015 regulatory agendareleased last Friday, as many Americans focused on Thanksgiving week with family and friends.       CBC.ca Pipeline transparency: NEB posts all safety inspections, fines online CBC.ca Pipeline transparency: NEB posts all [...]

11-26-15 Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Lost Thanksgiving references:  Our friend Marc Bond's offering; President Ronald Reagan's 1985 Thanksgiving Address; President George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation  Our politically correct retail community hastily exchanges the words "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas" and "Easter" for "Holiday". Here's a new twist, the National Parks Foundation (NPF) sent out a plea for contributions on Thanksgiving, today! "We hope you will join us in taking time today to give thanks for our nation's greatest treasures — our more than 400 national parks," the solicitation pleads. Not to be picky, but does NPF mean "give thanks" to [...]

11-25-15 In Memorium: Dave Gransbury

  November 25, 2015 Dear Dave: In the early 1970s my family moved next door to you on the shore of Cheney Lake.  You were, first, a friendly neighbor and friend.  When I came to know you better, I grew deeply respectful of your entrepreneurial dedication toward creating an ULU manufacturing business in your garage. There, with the garage door open in summer and on darker and frosty winter afternoons, we had many pleasant conversations -- as we endeavored to solve the world's problems.  All this you did on your [...]

Bill Walker's (NGP Photo) failings and hypocrisies dating back to his time on the campaign trail.

1-22-15 “The Climate Warming Religion”

Anchorage Daily Planet Editorial.  Acolytes of the new climate-warming religion so embraced by President Barack Obama and other believers must be in a tizzy today. A team of prominent scientists gathered at a Texas Public Policy Foundation climate summit in Austin, Texas, pooh-poohed all that as “nonsense,” Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com reports. They say fears of man-made global warming are “irrational” and “based on nonsense”; that the claims have “nothing to do with science.” They warned “we are being led down a false path” by the upcoming UN climate summit in [...]
