Major EPA reorganization will end science research program

http://thehill.com/regulation/energy...search-program

A federal environmental program that distributes grants to test the effects of chemical exposure on adults and children is being shuttered amidst a major organization consolidation at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The National Center for Environmental Research (NCER) will no longer exist following plans to combine three EPA offices, the agency confirmed to The Hill on Monday.

The program provides millions of dollars in grants each year.

Perhaps best known for its handling of fellowships that study the effects of chemicals on children’s health, the NCER will be dissolved and science staff serving there will be reassigned elsewhere within the department, the EPA said.

Republicans don't care if your children die.

How can you debate someone who doesn’t believe in facts?

Insanity vs. rationality. This will be a showdown to see if this happens.

That's his gimmick, see?

[ZombieHavoc]

Plus, it doesn't matter the outcome bc to Jones' audience, Jones wins no matter what. If Hogg is already considered a phony deep state Soros paid puppet crisis actor, then to that audience he can't win or make any valid points by default.

And then Jones can sell them more tactical bath and survival kits. $$$ and pushing an agenda. Fuck yeah, the American way.

How the hell are the Clintons a dynasty? Chelsea isn't in office. They don't come from a background of wealth and privilege. Bill ran for office. Hillary ran for office. Calling them a 'dynasty' is wrong.

Bush? Certainly. The Kennedy family? Sure.

Clintons? No.

There are /plenty/ of examples of dynastic politics but that ain't one.

Okay, not a Dynasty then. They just have ungodly influence on Democratic Party members. They just try to influence the Democratic party to constantly run to the middle on everything, and belittle something if it's something Clinton, the gentleman would do.

With that said. I do like Bill. Totally dislike his wife. Regardless of what a particular person who attacks Progressives and name starts with Progressives would have you believe about me.
But I normally don't respond to that person anyway.

Really? It seems to me like she was the one who always to the left of him.

[Tazirai]

Right. The Clintons are a power couple, not a dynasty. The only reason her last name is even the same as his is because we still bow to the patriarchal tradition of a wife taking her husband's name.

More and more women are keeping their last names or the husbands are taking theirs. I mean dinosaurs and fossils are dying out and all the religous loons who think a woman should be subservient aren't havign the same effect as before.

Really? It seems to me like she was the one who always to the left of him.

Bill got the benefit of being compared to Gingrich’s stable of dickhead Republicans while he was in office and got favorably compared to his successor who was such a disaster that he a lot of Clinton’s short comings like deregulation of banks and Wall Street were compounded on by Bush missteps.

Hillary had the misfortune of being involved enough in her husbands administratuon that people were willing to use the failures against her, but removed enough that the successes didn’t all go to her. Then her Senate term and presidential runs were her being compared to Democrats who were further left and didn’t make missteps that made her seem closer to moderate Republicans as both parties bass continued to expand.

Bill also went out of sight and out of mind after. While Hillary remained on the scene, which made her more of a target. She also just simply was not charismatic enough like her husband to overcome some of her issues in the public.
