Pruitt’s new problem with the GOP: Ethanol

EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt is facing harsh criticism from two Republican senators who say he is failing to follow through on President Trump’s pro-ethanol agenda.

The two senators, Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley from corn-heavy Iowa, are specifically displeased with Pruitt for granting a number of exemptions to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to refineries that allows them to use less ethanol in their fuel mixes.

The senators say this is a disappointment given Trump’s promises in Iowa and are quick to point out the string of controversies following Pruitt in voicing their displeasure.

“He’s been such a bad actor in so many areas. He’s promised to hold up the letter of the law when it came to the RFS. He has not done that,” Ernst said “And then we see other examples related to tax payer dollars, his personal staff. I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

Grassley had equally harsh things to say about Pruitt, calling the various reports on his scandals “pretty condemning.”

Trump to nominate budget official as next consumer bureau chief

President Trump will nominate Office of Management and Budget (OMB) official Kathy Kraninger to be the next director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the White House said Saturday.

White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters confirmed Trump’s choice of Kraninger, an associate director at OMB, in a Saturday statement.

Kraninger would take the reins of the politically polarizing consumer watchdog agency that Republicans have long fought to weaken.

Walters said the little-known budget official “will bring a fresh perspective and much-needed management experience to the [bureau], which has been plagued by excessive spending, dysfunctional operations, and politicized agendas.

Kraninger would replace White House budget director Mick Mulvaney, the OMB chief who has served as the CFPB’s acting director since November.

She is seen as a politically safer choice that would continue to ease the CFPB’s policing of the financial services industry.

“As a staunch supporter of free enterprise, she will continue the reforms of the Bureau initiated by Acting Director Mick Mulvaney, and ensure that consumers and markets are not harmed by fraudulent actors,” Walters said.

PBS's Mark Shields: 'Very Sparse' Evidence of FBI Bias Against Trump

You could tell the PBS NewsHour didn't want to discuss the Inspector General's report on the FBI's egregious failure to live up to its own standards in the 2016 election cycle. Anchor Judy Woodruff started the Friday week-in-review segment with the North Korea summit, and then began the FBI analysis with a no-bias-found verdict: "Very tough on James Comey, saying he was insubordinate, some other tough criticism of him, but, ultimately, 500 pages concluded that the way the FBI handled it didn’t demonstrate bias."

Mark Shields was unintentionally funny: "If you’re a flat-Earth person or you’re a round-Earth person, there’s something. You have got some evidence, very sparse, but nevertheless there, that there was bias on the part of FBI people against Donald Trump."

Wealthy Blue-Staters Are Using Shady Alaskan Trusts To Dodge SALT-Deduction Caps

"This is an under-the-radar thing and it’s novel," said Blattmachr. (Or at least it was under-the-radar until you went blabbing to the media). The trusts that Blattmachr and other savvy estate planners are using to take advantage of this loophole are called non-grantor trusts. While trusts are typically used by the wealthiest Americans to preserve their wealth as it's handed down from generation to generation, the tax law is giving the merely wealthy an incentive to explore setting up these trusts to pay taxes at rates found in low-tax red states. The trusts can help property owners avoid paying an additional $100,000 in taxes across their properties.

Gay Guys That Like Guns: Jeff Bloovman Interview on Armed Gays

Being gay, he’s never felt a bit of discrimination from the guys at the gun range. But tell a group of gay guys that you like guns… and that’s a different story.

In this interview, I talk to Jeff Bloovman about his work with the Pink Pistols to train gays in responsible self-defense.

We touch on topics about gays, guns, and we even had some time to trash talk political parties. You’ll hear about his experience being featured in a recent Viceland documentary about armed gays. Listen to the end to hear how he “sort of accidentally” came out on national television in 2011 after winning every challenge in the Discovery Channel show One Man Army.

Armed Dynamics. Jeff’s business offering firearm instruction for personal protection.
