The new implementation of EPA rules on heavy trucks has boosted the 10-year regulatory burden on America past $1 trillion, 75 percent of which have been imposed by the Obama administration. That amounts to a one-time charge of $3,080 per person, or an annual cost of $540, according to a new analysis from American Action Forum. In other words, each year every person, regardless of age, in the nation is responsible for paying roughly $540 in regulatory costs. These burdens might take the form of higher prices, fewer jobs, or reduced wages, said AAF's Sam Batkins, director of regulatory policy at the watchdog group.

Democrats in rural America have a blunt message for the rest of their party: We saw the electoral disaster coming — and it’s your fault.Strategists and party officials say their warnings about the party’s lackluster outreach to rural voters went unheeded by Democratic leaders for years, culminating in this month’s shock defeat to Donald Trump. A presidential candidate who actually performed poorly in many cities and suburbs nonetheless scored an upset victory because of a surge in support from small towns and rural areas.

During an extended interview on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday night, things got a little heated between Cooper and Senator Elizabeth Warren. The almost 25 minute long interview grew tense when Cooper grilled Warren on how out of touch the Democratic Party is with Middle America. “When you look at that electoral map, I mean, there is blue on both coasts basically, and there is a lot of red in the entire rest of the country,” he noted before asking, “Do you feel like you are out of touch?”

The man responsible for publishing one of the greatest media hoaxes in recent memory thinks it might be a good idea if the government provided the press with subsidies to help it fight fake news. Jann S. Wenner is the co-founder and publisher of Rolling Stone magazine, which published a story on Nov. 19, 2014, alleging that Jackie, a student at the University of Virginia, had been gang-raped as part of a fraternity initiation. The report was proven to be totally false, however, and Jackie a wild fabulist, but not before UVA suspended the fraternity and the university itself suffered a major blow to its reputation. Wenner defended the since-retracted story and its author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, right up to the bitter end. In an interview published this week, Wenner wondered aloud in a conversation with President Obama whether the federal government should provide media with subsidies to help them combat the rising tide of fake news stories on social media.

San Francisco police officers are adding a new strategy — going undercover — in an effort to combat hate crimes, Interim Police Chief Toney Chaplin said Wednesday. At a City Hall news conference with Mayor Ed Lee and other leaders, Chaplin did not offer specifics, but warned that police are “taking proactive measures” to ensure that a flurry of hate crime reports emerging around the country in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election won’t be duplicated in San Francisco. “We’re going to put officers out much like we did when our teams made it to the playoffs and we dressed officers in rival teams’ gear,” Chaplin said, referring to the city’s bid to tackle rising sports-fan violence. While police have not seen an uptick in hate crime reports in San Francisco since the election, Chaplin cautioned that hate crimes are notoriously underreported. On Friday, city police arrested a man on suspicion of spray-painting a racist epithet and symbol on the wall of a business and nearby vehicle in the Bayview neighborhood.

By Todd Starnes
One of my guilty pleasures in life is to watch Fixer Upper marathons on
HGTV.
Hosts Chip and Joanna Gaines have not only made Waco, Texas a tourist
destination, but they’ve also educated us about the many uses of shiplap.

Conservatives!
If you aren’t a fan of the show, you might want to Google that.
I also appreciate that Chip and Joanna are devout Christians. Viewers can
see how their faith flavors not only their television program – but also
their family life.
Click here to get Todd’s best-selling book – a primer on fighting the
culture war!
But not everyone appreciates those Christian beliefs – especially the
militant LGBT crowd.
And now, they are on the warpath.
The Mainstream Media and militant LGBT activists are unleashing their fury
over reports the Gaines family attends Antioch Community Church, a
non-denominational megachurch.
“Chip and Joanna Gaines’s Pastor Preaches ‘Homosexuality is a Sin’” –
blared a headline on Cosmopolitan.
“Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Church is Firmly Against Same-Sex Marriage,”
screamed a Buzzfeed headline. “Their pastor considers homosexuality to be a
‘sin’ caused by abuse – whether the Fixer Upper couple agrees is unclear.”
What the shiplap, America?!”
“Their pastor, Jimmy Seibert, is both staunchly against same-sex marriage
and a strong believer that homosexuality is a ‘lifestyle’ choice and a
‘sin’,” Cosmo reported.
This bit of news was more than their feeble journalistic minds could
handle.
“Given the diversity of Fixer Upper’s audience, this is a startling
revelation that has left many wondering where Chip and Jo stand,” Cosmo
reported.
Buzzfeed went so far as to investigate Pastor Seibert’s sermons –
demonstrating that what is preached from the pulpit at Antioch Community
Church is the same kind of message being preached in nearly every
evangelical church in America.
Our friends at Newsbusters tracked down this item from US Weekly:
“As a Fixer Upper fan, I would love to know @joannagaines and
@chippergaines’s thoughts on their pastor’s hateful, anti-LGBT beliefs,”
one viewer declared. Another went further, writing: “If Chip and Joanna
Gaines end up being anti-LGBT, I am cancelling my mag subscription and
ignoring their show.”
An HGTV spokesperson told me in a statement, they “respect the privacy of
our show hosts and will not comment on matters related to their personal
lives.”
Understandably, neither the Gaines family nor the church wanted to comment.
And nor should they have to comment.
“While fans shouldn’t necessarily jump to conclusions about what this might
mean, for many people who watch the show, their silence speaks volumes,”
Cosmo wrote. ‘Here’s hoping they speak up about this soon.”
Well, here’s a truth bomb for Cosmo and Buzzfeed. It’s really none of your
business where Chip and Joanna Gaines worship.
And for the record, where were their hysterical screeds when President
Obama’s pastor was asking God to damn America? Anybody want to talk about
those roosting chickens?
If anybody knows what Chip and Joanna are going through it is David and
Jason Benham.
The Benham Brothers, who run a very successful North Carolina real estate
company, were fired from HGTV in 2014 after a militant LGBT mob bullied the
network into submission.
The brothers are well-known evangelical Christian leaders – and are
outspoken proponents of traditional marriage.
“We were actually filming our show the exact same time the Gaines were
filming their first episode,” David told me. “We developed a great
relationship.”
And the first telephone call the brothers received when they were given the
heave-ho was from Chip.
“He called to support us – to say, ‘Guys, I’m in this with you, brother,”
Jason said. “The Gaines’ believe as we do – as millions as other Christians
do – that marriage is between a man and a woman.”
“That’s not anti-anything,” Jason continued. “That’s not hateful. Chip and
Joanna don’t hate anybody. It’s ridiculous.”
The Benham Brothers said they especially feel bad for HGTV being pushed
into another faux controversy.
“It’s a mafia,” David said referring to the militant activists. “They are
going to go after the Gaines family. They are going to try and vilify them.
They are going to try and vilify their church and their pastor. And if they
can’t get anyone to bend or concede, they are going to start vilifying HGTV
and going after their advertisers.”
It’s absolutely true that the Gaines family attends a church that believes
marriage is between one man and one woman.
Should that disqualify them from having a television program on HGTV?
Do the militant LGBT activists want to create a Black List – banning
individuals who attend evangelical Christian churches from working in the
industry? Is that what they really want?
Friends, this is nothing more than a modern-day witch hunt.
And it’s time for all freedom-loving Americans to rise up and stand with
HGTV and the Gaines family. To the militant LGBT mob, we say stand down.
Buzzfeed quoted a rather appropriate statement from one of Pastor Seibert’s
messages:
“We’re being called to a higher calling. A greater compassion and love, but
a greater clarity than ever before. Because it is coming now. Starting
Monday morning, we will not have that option anymore. And with that, will
come persecution.”
Prophecy fulfilled.
Perhaps next season Chip and Joanna spend a few episodes refurbishing safe
spaces for emotionally fragile snowflakes?
