Remember we mentioned the government suit against DPE, the folks who are the sole source for a key component of neoprene January 12 and February 2nd? The key to the government case was a letter, purportedly from Michael Morton, an EPA Science Liaison, calling off an investigation – except Morton said he never wrote the letter. I guess if you don’t have evidence, fabricate it, right?\u00a0 Seems a judge was NOT in agreement.<\/p>\n

In a ruling late Friday, Judge Carl Barbier of the U.S. District of Eastern Louisiana abruptly canceled oral arguments in the case scheduled for this week and the subsequent trial which had been set for mid-March.<\/p>\n

“EPA\u2019s request to delay the trial indefinitely belies the \u2018emergency\u2019 that the government claims in this unprecedented action,” DPE counsel Jason Hutt said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. “EPA\u2019s lawsuit has come at great expense to both this country\u2019s only Neoprene facility and its dedicated employees.”<\/p>\n

The company also characterized the Biden administration’s<\/u> efforts against it as politically driven, unsupported by real-world science, and outside its legal authority under the Clean Air Act.<\/p>\n

The claim is that the plant emits high levels of a carcinogen…interesting since that parish has one of the lowest rates of cancer in the state.<\/p>\n

And arrests have been made in the Kansas City parade shooting, so four have been arrested so far (no word and who will be given no-cash bail to date.) The reasons for the brawl are as always deep and complex.<\/p>\n

According to court documents in the case, the altercation started with a remark about whether one person was looking at another.\u00a0 NBC News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You lookin’ at me? If that is the best we can produce for ‘civilized’ citizens, we are indeed doomed. Makes you think that instead of needing Travis Bickle, we should need another movie character. My choice would be Snake Plissken.\u00a0 Lock ’em all up an an island and let God sort ’em out.<\/p>\n

And in California last Monday, a Senate candidate floated a novel idea for minimum wage: $50, that five-oh, fifty bucks an hour for minimum wage statewide. A familiar name, too – Barbara Lee (already a Congresswoman. No wonder our spending is out of control.)<\/p>\n

Her rationale? That’s ‘only’ $104,000 a year.\u00a0 Can’t live and support a family on that there.<\/p>\n

Paraphrasing Jim Carrey in “Liar, Liar” – if the area you live in is too expensive, “Don’t live there, stupid!” (However, if you truly love the California way, please stay the hell out of Texas – thank you.)<\/p>\n

Oh, and Happy the REAL Washington’s birthday!<\/p>\n
