American Petroleum Institute Director of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Howard Feldman warned that new ozone regulations currently under review by the Obama administration and the Environmental Protection Agency could put “nearly the entire country” out of business.

“Such strict standards are not justified from a health perspective and are not needed to continue air quality progress,” Feldman said Thursday on a conference call with reporters.

“The potential of significant national economic harm with stricter standards at or below naturally occurring levels is real. Our map shows that nearly the entire country could effectively be closed for business should EPA move forward with this proposal,” said Feldman.

API released a map [1] detailing the possible effect of new ozone regulations.

“Note that the current ozone standards are 75 parts per billion. For ozone standards of 60 parts per billion, which EPA could propose, 97 percent of the population would live in places out of compliance and subject to new emission reductions requirements,” he said.

“With potential strict standards that approach or are even lower than naturally occurring levels, virtually any human activity that produced emissions could ultimately be restricted or affected. In some cases, new development simply would not be feasible or permitted.”

Because gun control being pushed by Mayor Bloomberg works so well in his city.

NY Daily News:

Violence surged like the mercury Sunday, with three more fatalities from gun violence — and eight others wounded in shootings — bringing the total number of bullet-riddled in the city to 25 in less than 48 hours.

Only Staten Island was safe from the wide-ranging spray of gunfire and sickening weekend bloodshed. At least 12 people were blasted in Brooklyn, eight in the Bronx and another four in Queens. The sole person shot in Manhattan took several slugs to the chest and perished in broad daylight.

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/06/the_upside_of_greehouse_gases.html We are told, incessantly, that carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming — it is not.   The primary source of surface heat is radiant energy from the sun. Minor heat comes from geothermal energy from volcanoes and hot rocks. Trivial quantities of local heat are brought to Earth’s surface by humans […]

WASHINGTON, June 2, 2013 — Universities in the United States and throughout the world are becoming no-go zones for Jewish students. The bullying, which features Gestapo-like tactics, is part of an organized campaign that singles out Israel for Boycotts, Divestments and Sanctions. You don’t have to be Israeli. Being Jewish is enough to make you a target.

According to its web site, The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) is a wide coalition of the largest Palestinian organisations, trade unions, networks and NGOs.

BDS, the fastest growing “fraternity” from campus to campus, is a new pestilence based on an old malignancy.

What other country is being asked to justify itself in terms of “peace, justice and human rights?” The answer comes back like this:

“Only the Jews.”

Some of us remember the knock on the door for only the Jews.

We know the roundups that swept through France and throughout Europe for only the Jews.

The bucketful of speculation that Attorney General Eric Holder will lose his job is just that: speculation that probably won’t go anywhere. Holder’s Justice Department is so clearly awash in scandals that Justice doesn’t even bother to mount a defense. Justice did subpoena and examine […]

I am particularly happy to present a new interview with my great friend Allen West on Next Generation TV where we discuss American Betrayal.

Here is the link to the interview.

Here is the backstory to our friendship.

Way back in the summer of 2007, I was heading out the door on vacation, having thought I was also on vacation from my weekly column. Apparently not, according to my editor, who helpfully suggested writing something “quickly.”

OK. I obliged with a rare fantasy column: What if, during Vice President Cheney’s 125-minutes of presidential powers while George W. Bush was in surgery, Cheney actually used those powers?

The column opened like this:

For precisely two hours and five minutes on the morning of July 21, 2007, there was something different about our world.

The center of gravity shifted: President George W. Bush temporarily transferred the powers of his office to Vice President Dick Cheney.

Turkish Tumult Much as the zeal to compare entices, it would be wrong to liken the disturbances in Turkey to those of the misnamed Arab Spring. Foremost, they don’t spring from the same source. Although the Islamist government headed by Recep Tayyip Erdogan is nowhere near as tyrannical as Iran’s ayatollahs, the protesters in Istanbul […]

If a teacher happens to work in a marginal neighborhood where students start school already years behind in their vocabulary, their grasp of basic concepts, their attention levels, their ability to sit […]

The Obama administration had promised to build Israel a […]
