In the waning days of his presidency, former President Barack Obama’s administration oversaw the creation of a more than $300,000 climate change “museum” in a government building in Washington, DC, paid for by taxpayers and filled with displays that advance the idea that man-made climate change is a major threat, and EPA regulations are necessary to fight it.

Roy Moore Reacts to Luther Strange Attack Ads on Foundation, Wife — ‘I Will Not Stoop and Demean Myself to That Level’
PELHAM, AL — Friday at an Alabama U.S. Senate candidates’ forum sponsored by the Shelby County, AL Republican Party, former Chief Justice Roy Moore reacted publicly to an attack ad from the Senate Leadership Fund, a group controlled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and that is supporting his opponent, Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL). The ad raises questions about the Foundation for Moral Law, the IRS-deemed charity Moore joined after being ousted from the Alabama Supreme Court in 2003. “Roy Moore, there’s so much more,” the spot states. “Despite being one of the highest paid judges in the nation, raking in more than $170,000 a year, Roy Moore wanted more. So Roy Moore and his wife took over $1 million from a charity they ran, paying themselves $1 million and spending even more on travel, including a private jet.” In his closing remarks at the campaign event held at the Pelham Civic Complex, located in the Republican stronghold in the suburbs south of Birmingham, Moore denounced the Senate Leadership Fund advertisement. “You shouldn’t be in a race where you just condemn your opponents all the time,” Moore charged.

Paul Ryan Opposes Trump’s Immigration Cuts, Wants Struggling American Workers to Stay Poor
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) apparently wants struggling working-class Americans to stay poor, saying he is opposed to President Donald Trump’s proposed immigration cuts. Trump, along with Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and David Perdue (R-GA), this week introduced the RAISE Act, a largely merit-based immigration program that aims to protect U.S. taxpayers and American workers by reducing legal immigration and putting upward pressure on wages. “I just think arbitrary cuts to legal immigration don’t take into effect the economy’s needs as the boomers are retiring,” Ryan told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Friday afternoon. “With baby boomers leaving the workforce, we’re still going to have labor shortages in certain areas and that is where a well-reformed legal immigration system should be able to make up the difference.” Breitbart News’ John Carney’s analysis determined that the bill, which would cut “legal immigration into the United States by half and grant entry based on education, the ability to speak English, and jobs skills,” would actually make working-class Americans wealthier because “the gross domestic product per U.S. resident would grow.” Massive and unchecked legal immigration based on current law often prevents many Americans from moving up from the middle class for it allows high-tech companies,
