President Donald Trump Totally Remakes Forest Policy, Eliminating Obama’s Envirowacko Rules
Republicans were thrilled by the new rules.

After a year of so many devastating forest fires in left-wing California, President Donald Trump has finally thrown out Obama’s disastrous, envirowacko forestry policy and replaced them for common-sense forestry.
There is only one reason that the forest fires were so destructive in California and that is because Barack Obama put in place disastrous rules given to him by the envirowacko movement, rules that supposedly favored “the treeeees” at the expense of human life and property. Indeed, even at the expense of the forests themselves.
Well, Trump has finally acted and taken an axe to Obama’s terrible, life-threatening forestry rules.
According to Daily Caller:
Trump issued an executive order Friday to allow for active management of forest and rangelands, including thinning and removing debris from millions of acres of federal lands.
The order also calls on federal officials to streamline regulations and permitting processes to allow the harvest of at least 3.8 billion board feet from U.S. Forest Service lands and 600 million board feet from Bureau of Land Management lands.
That represents a massive increase in timber sales from federal lands. For example, loggers harvested 2.9 billion board feet from Forest Service lands in 2017, according to federal figures. But even Trump’s increased allowance for loggers is still about one-quarter of what was harvested in 1973.
Republicans were thrilled by the new rules.
“While litigation activists thwarted forest management reforms, the Senate also failed to pass legislation to help minimize forest fires,” Utah GOP Rep. Rob Bishop, chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, said in a statement.
“As a result, parts of the West were left in ashes. We cannot ignore these systemic issues any longer,” Bishop said.
“This executive order will save lives and communities throughout the West!” the Congressional Western Caucus tweeted last week.
Thank you @realDonaldTrump for ensuring that necessary fuel load reduction and forest management policies are implemented that will mitigate the frequency and intensity of wildfires. This executive order will save lives and communities throughout the West! https://t.co/QcXz29FkqR

Outgoing Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke blamed environmentalists for the increasingly devastating fires in the western U.S. — environmentalists often sue to keep federal officials from removing trees or conducting prescribed burns.
Indeed, last month Zinke slammed the enviirowacko movement.
“When we’re prevented from managing our forests by these radical environmentalists — they’ve had lawsuit after lawsuit, they have somehow promulgated to let nature take its course — this is the consequence of letting nature take its course,” Zinke told Breitbart News Sunday in November.
“We need to go back to prescribed burns late in the season so you don’t have these catastrophic burns, remove the dead and dying timber, sustainable harvests, get the small mom and pop mills back where they’re grazing the forest and return to healthy forests,” Zinke added.
He is 100 percent right.Mark this as another Trump success and an end to yet another horrible part of Obama’s legacy.

Police Say Buffalo Supermarket Shooting was Racially Motivated
Local authorities described the crime as “pure evil”.


On Saturday, a young gunman walked into a quiet grocery store in Buffalo, New York and opened fire.
The scene was described as chaotic and “armageddon-like”, as the killer stalked through the store expressionless, cold, and live-streaming the whole thing to the internet. When the horror ended, ten were dead, several others injured, and the city of Buffalo was left scarred.
Now, in a deplorable revelation, police are disclosing that the crime was racially motivated.
An 18-year-old white gunman shot 10 people to death and wounded three on Saturday at a grocery store in a Black neighborhood of upstate New York, before surrendering after what authorities called an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”
Authorities said the suspect, who was armed with an assault-style rifle and appeared to have acted alone, drove to Buffalo from his home several hours away to launch the afternoon attack that he broadcast in real time on social media platform Twitch, a live video service owned by Amazon.com.
Eleven of the 13 people struck by gunfire were Black, officials said. The two others were white. The racial breakdown of the dead was not made clear.
Hateful online content has been attributed to the killer.
A document circulating online that appeared to have been written by the killer sketched out a to-do list for the attack, including cleaning the gun and testing the livestream.
In addition, a 180-page manifesto outlining ‘The Great Replacement Theory’ – the idea that white people are being replaced by minorities in the United States and other countries – also circulated online, reportedly authored by Gendron.
The suspect has suggested that he chose this particular grocery store on account of the high minority demographics within the ZIP code, further corroborating his hateful basis.

While there are certainly plenty of reasons to worry about the never-ending march into the technological dystopia before us, we have to admit that some of what were seeing is still pretty darn cool.
For many of us, it’s as though we’re living in an episode of The Jetsons. Self-driving cars, video phone calls, apps that can tell you what song you’re listening to in the blink of an eye. These are all revolutionary pieces of technology that we have gained for ourselves in merely the last decade or so.
This week, however, Google may have just taken the cake on powerful consumer electronics, teasing a pair of glasses that can translate languages nearly in real-time.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday teased a pair of smart glasses capable of translating languages in real time.
Pichai showed a video demo of the glasses during Google’s I/O developer summit. While they’re still just a prototype, Google suggested the glasses can show live language translations to the person wearing them.
So, someone with the augmented reality glasses might be able to understand what another person is saying just by reading captions that are presented through the lenses while the other person speaks.
There was no indication as to whether or not the glasses would ever be available to the public, however.
