First, he understands the rule-of-law and jurisdictionally overreaching abuses of the current administration affecting energy production which, in turn,  underpins the historical and future wealth of America. Second, he articulated virtually all of the values which many of us believe are required to sustain the economy, security [...]

Energy Users and Internet Users Both Experience Government Overreach And Deterioration Of The Rule of Law (Canada is not immune) by Dave Harbour FCC commissioner Ajit Pai: Obama's push for 'Net Neutrality' will be "adopting a solution that won't work to a problem that doesn't exist using legal authority we don't have."

2-7-15 Arabs Support Enviros Against American Energy Independence

(Note: Once we posted this report we realized our headline wording could be regarded as unfair,  That is to say, not all Arabs are supporting US environmental groups to undermine US energy security.  And, while all members of Saudia Araba's ruling family are likely to be of Arabian descent, not all citizens of that family should be so accused.  Having now expressed that sensitivity, the unsettling fact remains that one of America's great Middle Eastern allies of the past, may now be showing new colors and our relationship may well be coming [...]
