By: TERENCE CHEA, ...California regulates cow farts<br /><br />By: TERENCE CHEA, Associated Press<br />UPDATED:NOV 29 2016 04:23PM EST<br /><br />GALT, Calif. (AP) — California is taking its fight against global warming to the farm.<br /><br />The nation's leading agricultural state is now targeting greenhouse gases produced by dairy cows and other livestock.<br /><br />Despite strong opposition from farmers, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September that for the first time regulates heat-trapping gases from livestock operations and landfills.<br /><br />Cattle and other farm animals are major sources of methane, a greenhouse gas many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas. Methane is released when they belch, pass gas and make manure.<br /><br />"If we can reduce emissions of methane, we can really help to slow global warming," said Ryan McCarthy, a science adviser for the California Air Resources Board, which is drawing up rules to implement the new law.<br /><br />Livestock are responsible for 14.5 percent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, with beef and dairy production accounting for the bulk of it, according to a 2013 United Nations report.<br /><br />Since the passage of its landmark global warming law in 2006, California has been reducing carbon emissions from cars, trucks, homes and factories, while boosting production of renewable energy.<br /><br />In the nation's largest milk-producing state, the new law aims to reduce methane emissions from dairies and livestock operations to 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030, McCarthy said. State officials are developing the regulations, which take effect in 2024.<br /><br />"We expect that this package ... and everything we're doing on climate, does show an effective model forward for others," McCarthy said.<br /><br />http://www.fox5ny.com/news/220448846-storyCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82857255926933712002016-11-30T03:22:50.063-05:002016-11-30T03:22:50.063-05:00GETFREEFOODFOX.com

The number one rule when your bottled up inside a tin can at 30,000 feet with a lot of other people is be civil.<br /><br />The ones that really gets me though are the protesters who decide to block a street or intersection in order to hold up traffic to 'make a point' though I've yet to hear what that point really is. Supposedly, today was some kind of 'day of rage' around here. There were protests at a lot of the Micky D's around Detroit demanding the $15 minimum wage. At one of the protest, they decided a sit-in would be a good idea so they ended up blocking Grand River Ave., a pretty big street plus Henry Ford Hospital is just down the block from the McDonald's. Needless to say the cops got there pretty quick and hauled a bunch of them to jail.<br /><br />I guess they've had politicians and university presidents et al cave so many times in the face of these type of disturbances they actually think a company like MCDonalds will do it too. They certainly can't be trying to sway the ordinary Joe that they the inconvenience or endanger with their bullshit. <br /><br />Me no likee.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76535604376479424432016-11-29T23:18:25.844-05:002016-11-29T23:18:25.844-05:00When counter-protesters ripped up an American flag...<i>When counter-protesters ripped up an American flag at a White Lives Matter rally last month in southwest Houston, their actions - though repugnant to many - were protected by the First Amendment, thanks to a landmark Supreme Court case out of Texas decided in 1989.<br /><br />...<br /><br />The lawyer who wrote Johnson's arguments for the Supreme Court said freedom of speech depends on allowing political expression even if it is offensive to a majority of Americans.

When one bill fails, they can try again with some different wording and see if they can craft something that will survive a challenge. If you really need examples of that, just look at the number of abortion bills which have been passed in various forms since Roe v. Wade was decided. In Clinton’s case, they added in the phrase, “with the intent to incite violence or disturb the peace.” We may never know if that one would have passed muster because it never made it out of committee.<br /><br />With that in mind, I suppose you won’t be shocked to see that the media feeding frenzy around Clinton at the time didn’t seem to be nearly as ferocious, accusing her of “pandering” rather than endangering the stability of our democracy. A constitutional crisis is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.<br /><br />Since we’re back on the topic anyway, I wanted to take a moment and revisit AP’s Kremlinology analysis for a moment. Nobody can truly read what’s found deep in The Donald’s heart, but if I had to optimistically pick one choice on the list it would be more along the lines of what Jim Geraghty was speculating. Is it possible… perhaps even probable, that Trump is tossing out comments like that just to drive his detractors further over the edge? If he could goad a few of the marchers to begin setting Old Glory on fire in the streets of Manhattan, surely Trump realizes that public opinion in most places would begin turning against them.</b><br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2016/11/29/hey-remember-when-hillary-wanted-to-ban-flag-burning/Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62446342318128780052016-11-29T22:47:38.121-05:002016-11-29T22:47:38.121-05:00In Texas v.

Earlier this morning, Ed Morrissey set forth the basics of why this should essentially be a constitutional non-starter. Later on, Allahpundit speculated on the Kremlinology of Trump’s tweet and what it might mean on the eight dimensional chess board. But in the rush to condemn Trump for making what may or may not have been a serious policy proposal on his Twitter feed, one little thing was overlooked. Hillary Clinton did more than talk about it on social media. She co-sponsored a bill in the Senate to criminalize it in 2005. (Fox News)<br /><br />Donald Trump came under heavy criticism Tuesday after calling for the criminalization of burning the American flag, with critics gasping that the president-elect’s words represent a threat to the First Amendment. However, Trump’s suggestions are similar to a bill pushed in the Senate in 2005 that would criminalize flag burning – a bill that was co-sponsored by then-Sen. Hillary Clinton…<br /><b>In 2005, Clinton co-sponsored the Flag Protection Act which, while it did not call for the stripping of citizenship, made flag burning with the intent to incite violence or disturb the peace punishable by a year in jail and a $100,000 fine.</b><br /><br />The bipartisan bill, introduced by Clinton and then-Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, never made it out of the Judiciary Committee, but was floated as a compromise to a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban flag burning.<br /><br />Clinton was criticized for her stance then, although the criticisms leveled at her targeted Clinton’s perceived political slipperiness, rather than her representing a threat to constitutional liberty. A New York Times piece accused the senator of being “in pander mode.”....<br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2016/11/29/hey-remember-when-hillary-wanted-to-ban-flag-burning/Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-313029744757716812016-11-29T22:19:47.151-05:002016-11-29T22:19:47.151-05:00Raymond Toczek, a 66-year-old veteran who commands...<i>Raymond Toczek, a 66-year-old veteran who commands the Portage Park American Legion post, served the U.S. Army in West Berlin for two years in the 1970s.
