The LuLac Edition #3475, April 20th, 2017



MEN AND WOMEN OF LULACLAND:
IF YOU THINK BILL O'REILLY WAS RAILROADED BECAUSE……
 (Bill O'Reilly (FTTVline)
The Media came after him and made up lies,
The women lied, all of them, lied about him being an aggressive predator….
He was treated unfairly because of his politics….
You believe and support the President for saying he shouldn’t have settled….
You refuse to believe that there was never a pattern here….
If you think Bill O'Reilly should stay….
If you believe that Bill O'Reilly left because of “unfounded claims”……..
Then just admit that you pretty much hate women and disrespect women.

GEORGIA REDUX

The 6th Congressional District in Georgia did not quite turn Democratic. It was close with Jon Ossoff winning 48% of the vote. The nearest Republican challenger Karen Handel didn’t even break 20%. This was a tough race to win because of the number of Republican candidates splitting the vote.
Ossoff was at 55% at 9pm but his lead decreased by midnight. This was NOT A WIN.
The Democrats need to reconvene, double down on getting the same vote out as well as counter attacking the Hollywood Vs. Georgia theme the President as well as the REPUBLICAN ATTACK MACHINE will spout.
This District used to be Newt Gingrich’s. It hasn’t gone Republican in years. Hopefully it will in June.

TRUMP’S BUY AMERICA JUST ANOTHER PHONY PHOTO OP
The President (Photo: CNN)
Donald Trump goes to Wisconsin yesterday and signs a “Buy American First” Executive order. White House officials told reporters that the "Buy American" section of the executive order will look to reinforce stricter adherence to laws requiring the federal government to purchase American-made products when possible.
But in reality the two-part order will direct the Departments of Labor, Justice, Homeland Security and State to review the H-1B visa program, which allows foreign workers to obtain employment in high-skilled "specialty occupations," and make recommendations that can be achieved through administrative or legislative changes.
Senior administration officials, who described the current H-1B visa program as a lottery system that gives work visas to contracting firms that replace domestic employees. It’s all about immigrants. Here’s the thing, with this lottery system, what if the guest worker is more qualified than the American worker? Just saying.
Plus while Trump was flapping his gums about American jobs and goods, he and his daughter have not received that message. Hypocrites all!

GOVERNOR WOLF ANNOUNCES $39 MILLION INVESTMENT IN WATER INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN NINE COUNTIES
Governor Tom Wolf (Wolf website)
Governor Tom Wolf this week announced the investment of $39 million for 12 drinking water, wastewater, storm water, and non-point source projects across nine counties through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
“Today marked another special day for the PENNVEST program and for the citizens of Pennsylvania. By approving almost $40 million in funding for clean water projects across the commonwealth, the PENNVEST Board continued its commitment to improve the quality of our rivers and streams, the health of our families and the economic prosperity of our state”, said Governor Wolf. “Together we will further the achievement of these goals and make Pennsylvania an even more desirable place to live and work for this and future generations.”
Of the $39 million, $18.2 million is allocated for low-interest loans and $20.8 million is awarded through grants.
The funding comes from a combination of state funds approved by voters, federal grants to PENNVEST from the Environmental Protection Agency and recycled loan repayments from previous PENNVEST funding awards. Funds for the projects are disbursed after bills for work are paid and receipts are submitted to PENNVEST.

CARTWRIGHT, DEGETTE, POLIS, AND SCHAKOWSKY INTRODUCE LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT FROM OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT RISKS

U..S. Representatives Matt Cartwright (PA-17), Diana DeGette (CO-01), Jared Polis (CO-02), and Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) introduced their Safe Energy Future Plan, a package of five bills that will protect public health and the environment from the risks of oil and gas production, including hydraulic fracturing, also known as “fracking.”
“Our country’s water and air quality should not be compromised by drilling and fracking,” the four legislators said. “Oil and gas development has expanded in the past decade, while environmental protections haven’t kept pace. Our legislation will close loopholes and exceptions that have been made at the expense of public health and safety. They will hold the energy industry to the same nationwide standards as other industries in this country must meet. After all, air and water pollution have no respect for state lines.”
The FRESHER Act (Cartwright) closes the loophole in the Clean Water Act that endangers water quality near oil and gas production sites, and requires oil and gas producers to obtain the standard permits necessary for activities that increase storm-water runoff and risk water pollution.
The CLEANER Act (Cartwright) closes the loophole in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act that exempts waste materials from oil and natural gas production from requirements for the safe handling, transport and disposal of hazardous waste.
The FRAC Act (DeGette) closes the so-called Halliburton Loophole, enacted in 2005, thus ensuring federal regulation of fracking under the Safe Drinking Water Act. It would also require public disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking.
The BREATHE Act (Polis) closes loopholes in the Clean Air Act that currently exempt the oil and gas industry from essential protections from toxic air pollution. The bill would require that toxic emissions of multiple related small sources be aggregated to determine total emissions, just like other industries have to do.
The SHARED Act (Schakowsky) prevents drinking water contamination by requiring baseline water testing of sources near planned fracking sites, along with public disclosure of the test results, before the sites are approved for operation.
"We support mineral extraction as long as it's done responsibly,” the lawmakers noted. “But the current patchwork of regulations and loophole-filled laws doesn’t ensure that this is the case. For the safety of all our communities, we need to ensure that the oil and gas industries are held accountable.”

I kind of agree with your sentiment about O'Reilly. Anyone who has defended or supported him still want their women in the kitchen barefoot.
Even the old geezers who supported Trump.

I believe Bill O'Reilly deserves to defend himself.
Unfortunately insurance companies and corporate puss lawyers would rather "settle" than fight for my innocence. Then it is assumed the "claim" is true and the person guilty.

YOU ABOVE ALL, Mr. Poli-Media blogster should understand this and help your readers to understand this.

If you believe that Bill Clinton was innocent because of “unfounded claims”……of Juanita Broddrick, Kathleen Wiley, Gennifer Flowers et al.
Then just admit that you pretty much hate women and disrespect women.

IN RESPONSE

A dog is a dog. But the main difference between Trump and Clinton, the pervert REPUBLICANS vs. guys like Clinton is that when in positions of power, Clinton and Trump are poles apart.
Clinton's policies employed more women in government as well as children.
Big difference my friend. And BTW, I love and respect women and they love and respect me back.

O'Reilly's actions were more of a power trip. And 3:31pm......
O'Reilly's pattern of bad behavior is worse in numbers than Clinton.
Both are multiples and the odds of every woman lying or making it up is just lunacy.
You sure you don't hate or disrespect women or are you just bad at math?

So it is okay to sexually assault a woman as long as you vote a certain way?
Wow.

So THAT'S how you rationalize your acceptance of Clinton's criminal behavior towards women? REALLY!?

Jeezus Yonki, You're off the rails. Totally morally corrupt.

So it's a matter of body count that allows you to accept a certain level of criminal behavior? You forgive an assault because you like the assaulter?

Guess if I assaulted your sister or Yonki's sister and I gave them a job and you liked me then I skate?

Talk about math.

Never accepted his behavior. But you dance with the devil who brought you. I never voted for Clinton by the way.

Never accepted his behavior.

Not much difference between that and tacit approval.
