For those who don’t believe in a bureaucratic deep state, look no further than the outrageous conduct this week of the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board. Just who do these people think they are? Despite the majority of the air board being publicly fired Monday night by the Albuquerque City Council, the unelected air board is merrily moving along this week with a proposed regulation that advocates consider the “holy grail of environmental justice organizing,” but which business leaders consider a job-killer, military folks consider a national security threat and many others simply consider environmental extremism. The so-called Health,...

In a major announcement that flies in the face of the erroneous mantra of the world's political elite, a team of scientists has declared that carbon dioxide is NOT causing climate change.

In a poll released yesterday and reported Thursday evening on the Fox News' Bill O'Reilly program, 59% of Americans now disapprove of Obama's handling of the Gulf oil spill. The results of the poll were reported in a segment with radio commentator Laura Ingraham. Video Here.

Instead, the media has chosen to...

Sacramento, CA - Cars will likely become an endangered species in the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains. Caltrans and the US Forest Service settled a lawsuit filed in the Northern California District Court by GaiaSustain, a Wyoming-base environmental organization, late Wednesday afternoon. The settlement, which keeps commercial, government, and emergency traffic in the mountains, will require the elimination of private vehicles above 2,200 feet above sea level after April 1, 2018. The 2008 lawsuit contended that vehicular traffic in the mountains violated a 1977 environmental treaty with Mexico to reduce airborne dust pollution. GaiaSustain alleged in the suit that...
