DONALD  TRUMP, MEGYN KELLY AND WHAT YOU MISSED AT THE CIRCUS

|| By RICK MANNING || While everyone in post-Kardashian America has focused on a Donald Trump tweet and Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, here are a few things that you might have missed.

The Environmental Protection Agency just unleashed the greatest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill as their “cleanup” activity has resulted in the release of 500 gallons a minute of toxic chemicals into the once pristine waterway. The now mustard-colored rivers are flowing through the states of Colorado and New Mexico on their way to the Colorado River and the drinking water of millions in Arizona, Nevada and California.

Expect the EPA to use their failure to secure the environment as an excuse to ban gold and other mining as it shows just how bad an environmental disaster can be caused. After all, the pictures of the pollution combined with a headline that mining activity must be stopped to prevent this kind of event is too powerful to be left to the facts that the environmental regulators themselves are responsible for the damage.

Far-left Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer opposed Obama’s Iran deal, which unleashed a torrent of anti-Semitic attacks on the soon-to-be leader of the Senate Democrats. These attacks reveal an ugly undercurrent running through the progressive movement as President Barack Obama, the Democratic candidates for President, and the left-wing media, have been eerily silent in denouncing those who exhibit this base and historically dangerous prejudice while instead focusing on banal Trump tweets.

Planned Parenthood continues to be revealed as little more than a taxpayer-funded human parts trafficker. Yet, Republican Congressional leaders seem loathe to make this a major fight in September during the government funding debate. Republican presidential candidates like Senator Ted Cruz and Governors Bobby Jindal and Scott Walker will have to press this issue hard to force the House and Senate to take a stand for basic human decency in the wake of the recent video releases.

At a time when the inside-the-Beltway Republican fixers are under siege from the grassroots, this is one issue that should unite everyone, with the side benefit of forcing Hillary and Congressional Democrats to defend the indefensible.

Great Britain has been dealing with their own illegal alien invasion as Muslim immigrants have been massing at the English Channel Tunnel in Calais, France that connects the two countries.

Under President Barack Obama’s policy, those same immigrants would merely walk across the border into the arms of a waiting border agent, and be put into the resettlement system. In the end, the French-English border situation makes the dual points that the enforcement of the law matters more than even the tallest fence, but without the fence, enforcement becomes much harder in the face of a coordinated immigration invasion.

While unrelated, the situation in the Middle East continues to devolve as the U.S. consulate in Turkey came under attack over the weekend. The mutual desire of the governments of Turkey and Iran to stop the development of a Kurdish state, and the Obama Administration’s relationships with each, will likely lead to changes in the use of U.S. force against ISIS.

Further bad news came from downtown Kabul, Afghanistan where a massive truck bomb was detonated with the goal of killing the financial sector of the country. Hundreds were injured in the attack with one American serviceman killed, signifying the vulnerability of the Karzai government and how even the safest areas can no longer make that claim.

“…the release of 500 gallons a minute of toxic chemicals into the once pristine waterway.”

“pristine”? Not likely. CO has thousands of abandoned mine across the state. MIner played the mines, took what they could, and then walked away. The mess was left for others to clean up.

A series of abandoned mines in the Upper Animas Basin has been spewing toxic metals into the local water system for more than 20 years. Scientists say it’s the largest untreated mine drainage in the state, and problematic concentrations of zinc, copper, cadmium, iron, lead, manganese and aluminum are choking off the Upper Animas River’s ecosystem.

Abandoned Mine Lands
http://coloradogeologicalsurvey.org/mineral-resources/abandoned-mine-lands/
Prior to 1977 there were virtually no laws in the United States requiring that mines be reclaimed when mining was finished. Today the Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety is responsible for assuring that mined lands are restored under the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act and the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials. However, prior to those laws, when mining was completed, the companies just walked away leaving piles of waste and dug out holes. Thus, Colorado was left with an estimated 23,000 abandoned mine lands (AML).

I agree. That dumb fuck Manning probably has never been to a mine in Colorado and never seen the colored water flowing out of damn near every one of them. They have ruined most high altitude streams in the state. Mine companies are terrible businesses to have in your state, because they will haul ass or declare bankruptcy and leave the taxpayers footing the bill. That proposed mine in Kershaw will end up just like every other one in about 20 years or so – abandoned with poisonous ponds that we will pay to clean up.

Don’t worry, DHEC is in charge of mine and dam permitting and stream water quality in SC. Can’t you rest easy now?

Kimmie’s recent selfie with Hillary was like a poster for Beauty & The Beast. If we are post-Kardashian than surely that signaled the post-Clinton era, too?

Things to Ponder
———————-

1. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

2. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

3. What if there were no hypothetical questions?
