During his keynote speech to an audience representing federal agencies, industry, academia, national labs and all levels of government at the annual Radwaste Summit in Summerlin, Nev., New Mexico Environment Department Secretary Ryan Flynn warned that Los Alamos National Laboratory and WIPP could face steeper sanctions from the state because of what he characterized as Energy Department roadblocks that have protracted the probe.   Continue reading “Flynn accuses feds of blocking WIPP probe”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael Snyder

Should we be concerned that the percentage of Americans that are either working or looking for work is the lowest that it has been in 36 years?  In August, an all-time record high 92,269,000 Americans 16 years of age and older did not “participate in the labor force”.  And when you throw in the people that are considered to be “in the labor force” but are not currently employed, that pushes the total of working age Americans that do not have jobs to well over 100 million.  Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there are more than 100 million working age Americans that are not employed right now.  Needless to say, this is not a sign of a healthy economy, and it is a huge reason why dependence on the government has soared to absolutely unprecedented levels.  When people can’t take care of themselves, they need someone else to take care of them.  If the percentage of people in the labor force continues to decline like it has been, what is that going to mean for the future of our society?   Continue reading “If The Economy Is Recovering, Why Is The Labor Force Participation Rate At A 36 Year Low?”

In a remarkable admission on Wednesday, the Obama administration’s Department of Justice argued that granting a Constitutional “right” for illegal immigrant juveniles to have lawyers would make the border “completely open” for foreigners under 18 and attract even more illegal immigrants that the country can in no way handle.

Arguing before U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly in Seattle, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Leon Fresco, according to Politico, said that “a preliminary injunction which says that there is a constitutional right to counsel would mean — without an appropriation from Congress, which I believe is unlikely — that you could not remove any child under the age of 18 years old from the United States.” He said that would mean the “border is completely open for children under 18.”    Continue reading “DOJ Argues Against ‘Right’ to Lawyers for Illegals”
