Obama’s “Carbon” Plan: Killing Jobs, Costing Americans Money

Posted on by William Teach

I’m still not that concerned with Obama’s climate change plan: there is a low probability that it will actually be implemented. There will be too many lawsuits filed and fought. Republican led states, and perhaps energy states with Democrat leadership, will blow the regulations off. A GOP president starting in 2017 will roll the regs […]

Good News: Alameda County Passes Sales Tax Increase To Fund Illegal Alien Health Care

Posted on by William Teach

Say, How’s The Legalization Of Marijuana Going?

Posted on by William Teach

I’ve long stated that legalization should be a state issue, rather than a federal issue. I’ve also said that I could care less if it is legalized. I don’t smoke it (I used to, but haven’t touched it in 20 years), I don’t plan on smoking it (I stopped finding it interesting), but, if someone […]
