Trump deals a blow to sage grouse
The Trump administration Friday lifted restrictions aimed at protecting greater sage grouse across seven Western states. In Oregon grazing restrictions are being removed in 13 locations that provide habitat for the imperiled birds. Ranchers support the move, but conservationists worry that increased grazing in Oregon and oil and gas drilling elsewhere threaten the greater sage grouse's recovery.

WA State Dropping Trump From Ballot?
The Washington State Senate has passed a bill that could remove President Trump from the 2020 presidential election ballot. The State Attorney General says he "thinks" the attempt to rig the election is constitutional. Anything goes in "Progressive Land," because the end always justifies the means. And everybody hates Trump, right?

Ending climate change requires the end of capitalism. Have we got the stomach for it?
Phil McDuff: Climate change activism is increasingly the domain of the young, such as 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, the unlikely face of the school strike for climate movement, which has seen many thousands of children walk out of school to demand that their parents’ generation takes responsibility for leaving them a planet to live on. In comparison, the existing political establishment looks more and more like an impediment to change. The consequences of global warming have moved from the merely theoretical and predicted to observable reality over the past few years, but this has not been matched by an uptick in urgency. The need to keep the wheels of capitalism well-oiled takes precedence even against a backdrop of fires, floods and hurricanes. Today’s children, as they become more politically aware, will be much more radical than their parents, simply because there will be no other choice for them. This emergent radicalism is already taking people by surprise. The Green New Deal (GND), a term presently most associated with 29-year-old US representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has provoked a wildly unhinged backlash from the “pro free market” wing, who argue that it’s a Trojan horse, nothing more than an attempt to piggyback Marxism onto the back of climate legislation.

Horowitz: American Left Is at War With Christianity
David Horowitz has written a book documenting what is becoming increasingly obvious — a chief goal of the American Left is the elimination of American Christianity in American society. Horowitz appeared on C-Span to promote his book Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America, and bluntly accused the progressive movement of subverting the history of America’s founding so as to promote their radical agenda.
