While America was distracted as 500,000 cubic feet per second of water flooded over the Oroville Dam, the Klamath River flooded in what could have been a catastrophe if Gov. Jerry Brown had already completed his funded plan to tear down four of its dams.

Reginald Kennedy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) service hydrologist for the Eureka Station, told Breitbart News that Klamath River flood waters from heavy rains and runoff crested on February 10 at 5 a.m. at a height of 41.3 feet.   Continue reading “Klamath River Floods as Jerry Brown Set to Tear down Dams”

LAKEVIEW, Ore. – A measure challenging gun regulations is popping up around the state. Since 2015, four counties have passed a measure known as the Second Amendment Preservation ordinance, and commissioners in Malheur, Union and Lake counties have heard the same measure in the past few weeks.

The ordinance is a reaction to the Oregon Firearms Safety Act, passed by the state Legislature in 2015, which requires background checks for transfers of firearms between private parties. These county ordinances allow sheriffs to ignore this law – which gun advocates see as unconstitutional.   Continue reading “Oregon Counties Seek Second Amendment ‘Sanctuary Counties’”

The U.S. State Department has long held that the settlements are an impediment to peace. During the election campaign, however, Trump’s key advisers on Israel challenged this position.   Continue reading “Kushner Foundation Bankrolls Radical Jewish West Bank Settlers”

Oh, the winning… it’s often too funny. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is now independently, on its own impetus, requesting an internal vote on a full panel en banc hearing to review its own decision.

Additionally, the full ninth are asking the Trump administration to file an additional brief telling the court why the three member original appeals ruling authority was wrong.   In essence, the smart judges know what wasn’t considered, and are now looking for an out.  Continue reading “Ninth Circuit Court Now Demands It Be Protected From Itself…”

The NFL, which just held the Super Bowl in Texas, is warning that a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender persons could jeopardize future major events in that state. League spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday that “discriminatory” legislation would “certainly be a factor” in awarding Super Bowls.

The Texas proposal would require individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. A similar law in North Carolina led the NCAA to pull college championship events from that state.   Continue reading “NFL warns Texas that its proposed ‘bathroom bill’ could jeopardize its chances to host future Super Bowls”
