A left-wing organization is pointing out that Scott Pruitt failed to mention mention climate change in his first speech to the EPA, and a climate change skeptic says it’s about time. “This has been an agency that’s allowed global warming to hijack the EPA’s agenda,” complains Marc Morano of Climate Depot. “So the most impressive thing Scott Pruitt could do on his first opening speech as EPA chief,” Morano adds, “is not mention climate change.” The complaint came from far-left website Think Progress, which complained that Pruitt now ironically leads the federal agency he sued as Oklahoma attorney general over its regulations. That fact failed to get mentioned, too, the story stated. “No longer do we have to hear EPA officials and administration officials in power talk about how EPA climate regulations will somehow alter a path of storms or […]

Gov’t Sponsored Sin The Canadian government has stepped up its use of the GBA+ course for public employees, a course that pushes both LGBT and feminist ideology. Although the gender-based analysis plus course (GBA+) and its exit exam were first developed in 1995 under the liberal Jean Chretien government, Trudeau’s government has mandated its use and promised unspecified consequences if a government employee fails more than three times. The course requires participants to question traditional ideas about gender and sexuality and yet it does so in a way that clearly favors the LGBT and feminist views. The current Canadian government action plan outlines a list of steps that must be taken to complete this indoctrination process by the year 2020. The action plan lists three primary goals: * To implement mandatory GBA+ training across the entire government system. * To

A U.S. district judge has blocked the state of Texas from cutting off Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding. This is the sixth instance in which a court has prevented a state from denying Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood: Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana have also attempted to make Planned Parenthood ineligible for funds. On Dec. 20, 2016, the Office of Inspector General at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sent a final notice informing Planned Parenthood that its participation in the state’s Medicaid program would be discontinued. Referencing Center for Medical Progress videos released by pro-life activists in 2015, the notice informed Planned Parenthood that the inspector general “finds you are not qualified to provide medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal and ethical manner under … state and federal law pertaining to Medicaid providers.” According to Judge

After violent leftist “Black Resistance” protests Friday night in North Philadelphia led to the injury of three police officers and the arrest of four people, outspoken Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke appeared on an episode of *Fox & Friends Weekend*and said “This stuff is disastrous. It’s going to get cops hurt; it’s going to get cops killed.” On Friday, over one hundred protesters affiliated with the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice gathered near City Hall, blocked traffic, and began violent confrontations with the police. During the clashes, three officers were injured after being hit with pepper spray and black spray paint. The leftist protesters burned an American flag.  As [FoxNews reported](http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/18/philadelphia-violent-protests-officers-hurt-flag-burning), Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said he “wants to see cops advance as soon as vandalism and violence break out at these types of protests, since it is impossible

WASHINGTON (February 22, 2017) — A government official says the Trump administration will revoke guidelines that say transgender students should be allowed to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their chosen gender identity. The decision would be a reversal of an Obama-era directive issued in May. It required public schools to grant bathroom access even if student records differ or others are uncomfortable. The White House says President Donald Trump believes the issue is for the states to decide without federal involvement. A government official with direct knowledge of the administration’s plans discussed them on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak on the record. Although the guidance carried no force of law, transgender rights advocates say it was necessary to protect students from discrimination. Opponents argued it was overreach and posed a threat to the

Christian refugees who fled from persecution in the Middle East at the hands of jihadists are being pressured by former President Barack Obama’s Justice Department holdovers and an Islamic fundamentalist group to allow a mega-mosque in their residential community in southeastern Michigan. Even though the city of Sterling Heights, with a population of 130,000, is already home to two mosques, the city is under the gun to accept plans for a third, massive one – despite officials’ unanimous decision that it was not a good idea for the community. “[T]he American Islamic Community Center (AICC) applied for a permit and was rejected after it was determined its proposed use was incompatible with the residential area,” WND reported. “Too much traffic, too little parking, the city planning commission decided by a 9–0 vote against the mosque in September 2015.” Obama, Islamic

An “unholy alliance” between anti-Trump leftists and radical Muslims is beginning to emerge all over America. President Trump’s recent executive order that restricted immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries is bringing a very strange mixture of people out to street protests. On the one hand you have hardcore Muslims that are chanting “Allahu Akbar” and that believe that Islamic law will someday prevail over the U.S. Constitution, and on the other hand you have radical leftists marching right next to them that are protesting for “women’s rights”, “gay rights” and “civil rights”. The ironic thing about all of this is that if the radical Muslims have their way, the leftists will either convert to Islam someday or will be completely destroyed. But for now they need one another, and so a very odd marriage of convenience has taken place. Later

A federal appeals court Thursday night kept a freeze on President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting refugee resettlement and other forms of legal immigration, meaning those previously blocked from traveling to the U.S. under the action can continue to enter the country as the case makes its way through the legal system. A three-judge panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco unanimously rejected the government’s assertion that the suspension of the order imperils national security, and ruled that the suing states would suffer “irreparable harms” if travel suspension could carry on. “The states have offered ample evidence that if the executive order were reinstated even temporarily, it would substantially injure the states and multiple other parties interested in the proceeding,” the court’s ruling stated. The judges on the 9th Circuit panel were Judge

Why the Assault on Campus Free Speech Threatens Our Republic It’s no secret that free speech is increasingly under threat on U.S. college campuses. A number of University of Chicago activist groups, including U of C Resist and UChicago Socialists, demanded that the university rescind its offer for Corey Lewandowski to speak on campus. In a letter sent to campus officials, students felt that any dialogue with the former Trump campaign manager would “normalize bigotry” and that “nothing about a firm commitment to free speeches obliges us to open our doors to those who incite hatred.” Couple this with violent protests at the University of California, Berkeley, where protesters and masked agitators tore through the campus smashing windows, hurling Molotov cocktails, and attacking bystanders to disrupt a conservative speaker’s planned event, and you can see a growing problem: Campuses are becoming

Al Gore may beg to differ, but his plans to save the planet from a cataclysmic environmental disaster will cause more harm than good. The former U.S. vice president appeared in Atlanta last week, where he called on scientists and health officials to address what he called a “climate crisis on health.” According to Gore, who is now considered a guru of the environmental movement, the effects of climate change are falling hardest on the poor, and many diseases are made worse by a changing climate. “Every adverse condition in the world falls hardest on the poor,” observes Marlo Lewis of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. That’s another way of stating, he says, that poverty has always been the cause of preventable disease and premature deaths. “Therefore whatever you may want to do about climate change,” Lewis advises, “you should always
