Grrr…

Why is it the Guardian, FFS, has BETTER coverage of goings on in the US than the lame stream media does???

In the first significant check on the Trump administration’s “energy-first” agenda, a US judge has temporarily halted hundreds of drilling projects for failing to take climate change into account.

The agency “did not adequately quantify the climate change impacts of oil and gas leasing”, said Rudolph Contreras, a US district judge in Washington DC, in a ruling late on Tuesday. He added that the agency “must consider the cumulative impact of GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions” generated by past, present and future BLM leases across the country.

Full article, HERE.

Contreras was also involved in the FISA court as a judge, and had to recuse himself from the Flynn prosecution, since he ‘knew’ Peter Strzok well enough to exchange text messages with him.

Enough to make one wonder?

It does me…

  1. Cheer up — I just read that another jedge out in Kalifornia has stipulated that PG&E monitor every tree, all the time, lest it cause a fire. Now PG&E is no bunch of angels, but? Really?

    • And this is how you get clear cutting using gang-saws. Unintended consequences…

  2. The entire burg of DC is tied up in corruption, Trump hatred, global warming claptrap and massive egotism.

  3. The energy shenanigans will be sorted out at the DCA level or at SCOTUS. The activist judges hand down these sorts of foolish edicts all of the time. The Trump Administration has been able to fast track the appellate process before and I suspect that they will do it again.

    But your comment regarding the foreign media is on point. The corrupt, lying, filthy, smug, sly, elite media has an agenda and reporting the news is really low on their priority list. Even Fox News (owned partially by Saudi interests) is swayed at times.

    I recall during the Obama Administration when even Pravda, of all news outlets, was reporting US news accurately and the elite outlets did not. How embarrassing is that?

    Now that the whole Russia reporting is revealed as just another coup attempt by the Deep State, the FBI was de-fanged, and CIA is back to doing what they do, it will be interesting to see where the next thrust comes from to remove the President.

    From where I sit, I sense some desperation on the part of the anti-Trump crowd when they look at the Democrats. Beto (beta male) is a fool, there is the fake Indian out there on the stump, Spartacus, and the rest of the field with Slow Joe not getting much traction from donors and Bernie with his communist mantra. It’s a clown car, complete with steam calliope.

    They have to pull something out of their hats or face Trump until 2024.

  4. How do I go about filing a suit challenging the use of air conditioning in Federal buildings?

    Since the climate is such a fast moving disaster, surely they should be required to file an Environmental Impact Statement every year. And, being the Feds they should lead by example.

  5. Ian- Yep, require a bankrupt company to monitor trees… THAT makes a lot of sense…

    Roger- The swamp…

    LL- Agree with all!

    ERJ- ROTF,

  6. The climate impact of not murdering the entire population of the third world is greater than the climate impact of deigning to permit Americans to live at their current level of economic activity.

    If this court order is based on valid principle, then it would also be legitimate to order authorities to cease their current practice of not routinely murdering illegals.

    Where’s the climatic impact statement for sanctuary cities?

  7. Why do we have to go overseas for the real news? For the same reason Britons, French, Germans, Finns, Norse, Swedes, Danes, and the whole host of central and south American nations have to read our news to find out what’s going on there.

    Either direct manipulation by the government (like most everyone else, witness New Zealand and their media blackout of muslim insurgency in their country and the aftermath of the mosque shootings,) or direct manipulation by a political power and people on one spectrum of the politics (like here, where two years after every presidential election the media is surprised that the Republican candidate had from 70-90% unfavorable articles and photos published, while the Dem had the same percentage of positive articles and photos. Every election cycle. Not to mention the complete un-reporting of any side of a story that makes the dems and socialists (well, the same thing now) and their pet projects (like muslims or illegal aliens) look bad.)

    Media, it’s all about control, not anything about the truth.

  8. Hey Old NFO;

    I remember during the Obungler administration, I had to go to foreign news sources to get the news since our news outlets had their lips firmly planted in the keester of the Obungler administration. Beans touched on it, it boils down to control of the native population.
