[Natural News] Cow manure is producing too much methane, according to the California Legislature, which seeks to substantially reduce what it considers climate change emissions over the next decade and a half. Officials recently approved regulations on "cow flatulence and manure," both of which supposedly contribute to greenhouse gas releases.
The bill's author, Democratic Senator Ricardo Lara of Bell Gardens, approved the measure recently and agreed to give dairy farms more time to comply. Regulators hope to reduce methane emissions to 40 percent below 2013-levels by the year 2030, reports CBS News.
The measure also aims to "significantly increase" composting in order to reduce the dumping of food waste in local landfills, which officials say releases methane gases upon breakdown.

If we had a Stupid-Ass Statement of the Day, that's your winner. It is true that when plant material breaks down in a landfill it releases methane and CO2. But the exact same thing happens in a compost bin, even with an official Green Hippie(tm) brand bin.
If you were awake in 5th grade science class, you'd know this. Hint: It's call The Carbon Cycle.
[Mirror] The president of Equatorial Guinea may not be a household name - however those who have survived his brutal regime claim he is pure evil.
Teodoro Obiang Nguema, 74, has ruled over the country since 1979. Known as "torturer-in-chief", his rise to power saw him overthrow his uncle - Francisco Macias N'Guema - taking revenge after the ruler had his family murdered.
Since taking power, those who politically opposed him have been subjected to torture and oppression.
However many claim his depravity goes even deeper. It is alleged that Nguema is a cannibal.
[Breitbart] Zedek Gazda, a New Jersey resident present in New York City Sunday morning, captured video of Hillary Clinton's security detail lifting her into a van after she left a 9/11 memorial ceremony early.
Clinton’s security team drove her to her daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment in Manhattan, where she emerged later, walking and talking to reporters. She has reportedly left for Chappaqua, NY without her press detail.
A statement from the Clinton campaign said that she "felt overheated."
"Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen," spokesman Nick Merrill said. "During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better."

These episodes are coming without warning (classic Parkinson's). The Secret Service van will be readily at hand next time. No unsightly waiting rigidly against a post where prying eyes can video tape the episode. Play the tape again please, see! More camera security team blocking could have prevented this Gazda cock-up!
Gazda, Gazda, Gazda, Gaz? That's a Russian car company isn't it? There, it's the bloody Russians again. SEE !
Note the press was not permitted to follow. Medical assessment time was required. To the hospital or the residence? 'Odd Job' what say you? Your prognosis? Get a grip man and put those magazines away, hurry. She's nodding off and we're low on petrol.
'Well, er huh, two diazepam, one in the neck, if we can locate the neck. One in the arse.' Go for it. Give her ten minutes, a double G&T with lime, and KBO. Alright then, G&T's all around until we reach the residence.
Note the reassuring sidewalk press appearance at the residence. Sufficient time was provided for medication, recovery, new shoes, and assemblage of the fawning media. Baby pictures? A little girl off the street? Oh yes of course. Good thinking... whomever suggested that.

Elevator doesn't appear to be large enough for a gurney.
Also, no '2nd Exit' shown on the floorplan. Don't think these 'quality' folks would resort to crawling out of a window in an emergency. Elevator (unless it's massively insulated and on emergency power) doesn't count for a Fire Exit, either. Didn't see a location for a 'Bat Pole', either, unless the Trash Chute counts.

I get the anger, but more to the point of a TRUE free society, I'm livid that 95% of the press will continue to provide ACTIVE cover for the Clinton campaign rather actually "covering the election".
There should be a steep price to pay for such partisanship.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] US President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... on Sunday urged Americans on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks to embrace the nation's diversity and not to allow "terrorists" to divide the country.
Extremist organizations like al-Qaeda and ISIS "know that they will never be able to defeat a nation as great and as strong as America," Obama said at a memorial service at the Pentagon, one of the sites attacked on September 11, 2001.
"So instead they try to terrorize, in the hopes that they can stoke enough fear that we turn on each other," said Obama, who observed a moment of silence Sunday at the Oval Office in honor of the nearly 3,000 people killed that day.
"And that’s why it is so important today that we reaffirm our character as a nation (...) Our diversity, our patchwork heritage, is not a weakness. It is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths," he added.
"This is the America that was attacked that September morning. This is the America that we must remain true to."
In an indirect reference to the controversial anti-Moslem, anti-immigrant campaign rhetoric of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Obama recalled that Americans were "a people drawn from every corner of the world, every color, every religion, every background."
Obama, who is a Democrat, has repeatedly criticized Trump’s statements, including the billionaire’s proposal in the wake of last December’s mass shooting attack in San Bernardino, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, to ban Moslems from entering the United States.
In the 15 years since the al-Qaeda suicide plane strikes on the Pentagon, New York’s World Trade Center, and in Pennsylvania, "the threat has evolved," the president said.
"With our stronger defenses, snuffies often attempt attacks on a smaller but still deadly scale," he added, recalling the Boston marathon bombings, the nightclub massacre in Orlando in June and the carnage in San Bernardino.

Everything you support is evil. You are evil.
Nothing you have done was necessary. None of it.
All you do is pull out of your ass what soros wants hence you are his butt buddy.
And HE is nothing but EVIL.
Hence, You are the first US President from satans asshole and that is your "Legacy"

al-Qaeda and ISIS "know that they will never be able to defeat a nation as great and as strong as America,"
AYFKM?? They have a plan for that and so far it is working out just fine. Right now I am so "Islam'ed out" I am indeed ennervated - which is the long term MB plan.
Islam has become the dominant focus of political and cultural discourse these days and I for one am thoroughly sick and tired of having Islam, and excuses for Islam, daily shoved down my throat.
I reject it utterly. I do not hate it. I despise it. I scorn it.
I remember in GW1 on CNN (yeah really) they interviewed what would later be called a "troop" - I believe he was a Sergeant- he said "they want to die for Allah, well we are here to help them out with that".
Dude, if you read this blog, I for one have not forgotten you and what you declared. It is currently an unspeakable sin, although 100% true.
So, here we are 15 years later, and the only price for this atrocity has been paid by us.

They can never defeat us from without - but from within? That is what Obama is for.

"Those terrorists can't divide us", Obama said "but those other terrorists, the ones that make up the basket of deplorables, they can rip our nation asunder" "We better defeat those people at all costs."

The Lord still retains America as the Land of GOD. They have no right to attack here no matter their whatever plight. For any reason, ever.
It is right there in their fake holy book.
Not that that means anything to any of them. And Herein lies the rub.
NOCODE
We did not see a peep on 9-11, maybe faith is there.
But there really is no excuse for Koranimals and Islam as written. It is Blasphemous and Abhorrent. This thing cannot be anymore and we do not want another 1400 years of this.
So What I want is every moslem to stand in front of me with a gun and cry allauah akbar so I can shoot him in the face and go about buying my seaweed wrapped crackers and ground beef in the market.
Anyways, business as usual.
I was not the one who opened the air-lock and let the damn klingons in. So fuck them and the gate guard who should also be shot in the face.
And that is that.
This way, I could be living in Annuah.

I've been hearing that diversity is strengh for something like two decades but I haven't really seen much actual evidence. In fact when liberals talk about the perfect socialist society they inevitably choose a racially homogeneous nation (China, Japan or the beloved Nordic nations) as their example.
I'm not against diversity per say but there are some of the lumps in the melting pot and they seem dedicated to weakening us.
I'm way past tired of them getting a free pass when it comes to "diversity". The day that "diversity" is something the left expects them to adhere to is the day I'll revisit my opinion of both groups (the left and Muslims).
Until then, fuck them both for pretending that either of them are in position to tell the rest of us about right and wrong.
[IsraelTimes] Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Frederick T. Frelinghuysen ... abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary ceremony Sunday after feeling "overheated," according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia.
A video showed Clinton slumping and being held up by three people as she was helped into a van after the event, and her doctor said in a statement that Clinton had become overheated and dehydrated. "I have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely," Dr. Lisa R. Bardack said in a statement.
The physician said Clinton has had an allergy-related cough, and that during a follow-up examination Friday, the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia, put on antibiotics, advised to rest and modify her schedule.
Less than two months from Election Day, it was an unwanted visual for Clinton as she tries to project the strength and vigor needed for one of the world’s most demanding jobs. Republican rival Donald Trump has spent months questioning Clinton’s health, saying she doesn’t have the stamina to be president.
Clinton’s departure from the event was not witnessed by the news hounds who travel with her campaign and aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for nearly two hours. Spokesman Nick Merrill eventually said Clinton had gone to her daughter’s nearby apartment, but refused to say whether the former secretary of state had required medical attention.
Clinton exited the apartment on her own shortly before noon. She waved to news hounds and said, "I’m feeling great. It’s a beautiful day in New York."
After leaving her daughter’s, Clinton was driven to her home in Chappaqua, New York, and made no public appearances. She was scheduled to fly to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Monday morning for fundraising and it was unclear whether her schedule would change.
Trump, who attended the same event marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, was noticeably restrained. Asked by a news hound about Clinton’s health incident, Trump said, "I don’t know anything."

She has mild Parkinsons via her hacked e-mails.
Pray for her, as deplorable she is.It made me feel horrible showing her in a time of weakness.
This is not what they say and they just made it worse.
She is doing this to keep out of Prison and it is probably hell on her.
She cannot be President, and this has been said from before she ran.
This is over
#13
We will see reruns of her. Pictures everywhere.News will say better health than ever. No public speaking tours. Edicts from the white house. All the while she will be kept in a glass faced upright casket embalmed. Her mind downloaded to a computer so she will continue on indefinitely. Media babble to control public thought. First woman and first robot president a combination the left would embrace with childlike glee.

newc - I will do no such thing. This could not have happened to a 'nicer' person. To her, I am 'deplorable' and she'd just as soon jail me and you for having a different political opinion. F&ck this Alinskyite and everyone who follows her.

#11 Trump has to watch his six. The feral govt is a Clinton criminal enterprise now.
Indeed he does. Hildabeest was the establishment candidate--probably because she and Bill have shit on everyone. They won't go down easy. Hopefully, the Beest won't can't run in 8 years. Look for Chelsey to run if she doesn't go down with the Clinton Foundation. The executive branch needs a good house cleaning and serious paring down.
#29
Chelsea's only chance for a political career is for Hillary to pass. Americans don't like dynasties much but the sympathy might get her over that hurdle.
#35
But you are not trash, Glen, you have not littered the earth with horrible foreign policy, spoiled brats, dead Ambassadors, random death and destruction, annihilation of power structures in the middle east,awful healthcare plans, dead burning bodies, graft, Pay to play schemes, and fake platitudes.
They are the trash at the lowest end of the park. See what I say?
I was getting a trailer myself but that does not make US trash.
#36
Dems be looking to replace her and maybe that the plan from the start
Hillary was unelectable from the beginning: Clinton baggage, Bill baggage, failure as SoS, selling access to State Dept for Clinton Foundation donations (CORRUPT) lying about Benghazi, lying about her emails, on cusp of indictment for her crimes, fixing the dem nom against sanders
she was always unelectable
the dems be looking to dump her
replace with Biden or Sanders, probably Biden -- but maybe promote Kaine from VP?
a fresh face = a fresh brand
a fresh surprise to snatch voters who don't like Trump but hated Hillary. they will vote for a blank slate rather than trump
so that be the game plan for the dems?
lucky Trump is LOVED by many for his GOOD POLICIES
[RUDAW.NET] Rudy Giuliani, advisor to Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, defended the candidate’s statement that the United States should have taken Iraq’s oil, saying that in war "anything is legal."
"Leave a force back there and take it, but make sure it’s distributed in a proper way," Giuliani said in an interview on Sunday with George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s This Week, when asked to explain an earlier statement from Trump arguing that the US should have taken Iraq’s oil.
When asked by Stephanopoulos if that was legal, Giuliani, a lawyer and former mayor of New York, chuckled while replying, "Of course it’s legal. It’s a war. Until the war is over, anything is legal."
Last week, Trump said the US would have been right to "take the oil" in Iraq as a "spoil of war," to keep it out of the hands of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS).
"If we would have taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS, because ISIS formed with the power and wealth of that oil," Trump said during NBC News’ Commander-in-Chief Forum.
Giuliani explained Trump’s position that ISIS got rich off of oil and that, had the US secured it and held some control over its distribution, "we would not be dealing with ISIS today. They wouldn’t exist."
He also said that distribution of oil was a major source of dispute among Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites -- another reason why Americans should have taken control of the resource.
But Giuliani did distance himself and Trump from the notion of taking the oil as a spoil of war. "He didn’t say we should take it for ourselves necessarily. He said we should secure it, so it doesn’t get taken by terrorist forces," he explained in the interview.

Yes he did Rudy. And he has said as much on more than one occasion. God almighty, the Trump defenders never miss an opportunity to offend their audience 's intelligence. Clarify. ..spin...whatever. ..just save your horseshit for someone else.
#4
Ok, he did. So what? You want ISIS to have control of the oil? Maybe the Russians. Perhaps Iran?
Good God, Phack, are you that clueless that you have no sense of world affairs, world politics, and world balance? You think it would be evil for the United States to keep a strategic resource out of the hands of terrorists?
Why don't you explain to us how this should work, sport?

OK, first of all, Stephanopoulos is not a journalist or a news man of any sort. He is a Democrat party apparatchik so anything that any honest man like Giuliani says to him is going to be twisted to fit the Democrat narrative of the day.
So now, was flying airplanes into the Twin Towers legal? How about shooting innocent civilians in Paris? Or bombing an airport terminal in Brussels? How about shooting up a gay bar in Orlando?
You don't win wars with lawyers. You win wars with soldiers, sailors and airmen who have orders simply to kill people and break things until the enemy either surrenders unconditionally or until all of them are dead.
You do not engage in wars just because you have some cockeyed image of yourself as the world's policeman. You fight wars to eliminate threats to the freedom and safety of the American people.

Holy reducio ad absurdum there Strawman. Pointing out Guliani's total misrepresentation is hardly advocating for terrorist control of Iraqi resources.
Why don't you explain to us how this should work,sport?
Since you asked, it's probably a good idea to steer clear of that whole Empire thing all together. Perhaps, you could describe the favorable outcome if the Iraqi's were to be told that their primary resources were no longer in their control?
#9
DepotGuy, we would be completely justified taking at least enough oil to pay for our war effort and any misguided nation building that followed. You might call it reparations. Indeed, they would no longer be in control of their resources. Tough shit. They lost. But, as I said, we went after the wrong oil field. The threat was, and still remains, Soddy Arabia. But as long as we are ruled by the Bush/Clinton dynasty that is totally beholden to the House of Sod, the Soddies won't have to worry.
