There’s a new RealClear Opinion Research poll out, and it shows a disappointing lack of support for free markets and trade. RealClear found that only half of registered voters thought global trade had been a net positive for the U.S. over the past ten years. This is a significant decline in support, down from what had been a bipartisan consensus for decades.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) petitioned NASA to remove from its website the claim that 97 percent of climate scientists agree humans are responsible for global warming. The petition, filed under the Information Quality Act (IQA), points out the major flaws in the studies cited by NASA to substantiate its claim. It requests the agency remove the claim from its website and stop circulating it in agency materials.
Restaurants Unlimited, a Seattle-based chain with restaurant locations in 47 US cities, announced on Sunday it was seeking Chapter 11 protection, citing “progressive” wage laws. The company, which has operated since the Lyndon Johnson Administration, said rising labor costs—part of a national trend of government-mandated minimum increases—were part of its decision.

Do we really need the clergy?
The Church of England is currently engaged in discussion and action which is pulling in rather different directions in relation to the importance of its clergy, and these debates were exemplified in the latest meeting of the General Synod in York over the weekend.

A new Trump executive order on kidneys could save thousands of lives
It’s one of the biggest government actions on kidneys in decades. The order has three major parts: one on living kidney donors, one on deceased donors, and one on alternatives to center-based dialysis.
Spokane climate activists proclaim their soul-cleansing piety
“Fanaticism consists of redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.” That comment from George Santayana (who also said “Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it”) captures the approach of 350 Spokane, a group of climate activists who penned a revealing op-ed in Spokane’s Spokesman-Review last weekend. The op-ed criticizes WPC for holding the group accountable for demanding that people pay a price that they themselves are unwilling to pay to advance their extremist policies. They claim their purpose is to cut CO2 emissions to fight climate change. Their op-ed, however, demonstrates that is not their priority.
Billionaire Home Depot co-founder shreds Trump haters in new Facebook post
Billionaire Home Depot co-founder and noted philanthropist Bernie Marcus — forever a feisty fella even at the youthful age of 90 —has no plans to run from his fresh batch of social media trolls. Marcus has been under fire all week after telling the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he supported President Donald Trump’s election bid. The now frequent Fox News commentator didn’t stop there, however. Marcus told his hometown digital paper that he plans to support Trump’s re-election bid. The president deserves kudos for a strong jobs market, pushing back on China on trade and taking action against Iran, according to Marcus. Obviously, that hasn’t sat well with the anti-Trump crowd. Said legion has since taken to Twitter calling for a boycott of Home Depot (HD). The home improvement retailer has tried to distance itself from Marcus, noting he hasn’t been with the company for nearly 20 years.
