While we do not know the specifics, it appears that this decision was made after much thought and consideration. California is controlled by the Democrat party in Sacramento with a supermajority / veto-proof majority in the state legislature and a VERY liberal Democrat governor who are all beholden to the extreme enviro-wakos there. And, the state is so far in debt that it’s on the verge of bankruptcy. So, it’s more than reasonable to assume that a little pushback by Trump for the benefit of those poor farmers trying to feed all of us is probably a good thing. Of course we’ll continue to monitor this developing story and report any more details we hear about.

Joe Bastardi: Climate change agenda is being driven by hysteria, not facts

Opinion/Analysis: Trump Vindicated as Paris Climate Agreement Unravels
More like “fortunately..” lol The whole Paris Climate Agreement was a con from the get-go. The absolute worst pollution violators are India, China and Russia…all of whom had no intention of ever agreeing to these accords. Yet, Obama was hell-bent on tying our hands behind our back economically and unilaterally agreeing to that nonsense. Ironically, Obama never submitted it to the Senate for ratification, even when the Dems controlled it, because even the Dems wouldn’t ratify it. So, instead, Obama did what he did throughout his presidency; brazenly violated the Constitution and just signed it anyway. Then, Trump did the only thing he could do; pull the U.S. out of the accords. The fact that a federal judge ruled Obama’s actions unconstitutional made the decision academic.

Analysis: Pruitt Is Gone, but Trump Is Still Winning the Energy Wars
To find out why that may be the case, and read the rest of this outstanding op/ed by James Delingpole, click on the text above. James is exactly right.. Scott Pruitt may be gone at EPA. But, his legacy of dismantling much of the out-of-control, Enviro-fascism imposed on us by the EPA spanning over 40 years, will be lasting. So, we all owe Scott, despite his many personal shortcomings, a big debt of gratitude. The extreme liberal nutcases at MSNBC and CNN, and Dems in the House, got their symbolic scalp. BUT, as James correctly notes, the lost the substantive war. And, they’ve lost it big time. 🙂

John Williams to quit scoring ‘Star Wars’ films
Indeed.. And, Maestro Williams has every right to call it quits. He’s been providing us the soundtracks to all of the Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones, ET, Harry Potter and more for over 40 years. His decision to call it quits is completely understandable. But, his signature contribution to the Star Wars franchise will be missed, and will mark the end of an iconic pop culture era. Thank you, John, for all the great music! 🙂
