At least five prominent Republican governors are advocating state resistance to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations regarding climate change and carbon emissions. If done by multiple states, this would likely nullify those EPA rules in practice.

SALEM, Ore. (July 10, 2015) – The Oregon Senate killed a bill that would have shut down the recently launched industrial hemp industry, ensuring that hemp farmers will be able to continue to growing their crops, further nullifying in practice the federal ban.

Shadowy federal agency snooping in your wallet

“Created under the sweeping Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, the agency sets regulatory guidance for an array of financial products. The bureau is funded through a direct percentage of Federal Reserve income, not by Congress – and that means there’s no congressional oversight. A recent report found that the CFPB has accomplished the monitoring of more than 85 percent of all credit card records from U.S. consumers.

China: Risks … and Opportunities

“The meltdown in Chinese stocks presents both risk of contagion for global stocks, including our markets, and a great buying opportunity in the making for global-oriented investors. China’s mainland Shanghai Index soared 150% higher in just 12 months through mid-June. These eye-popping gains were fueled in large part by a massive expansion in margin lending, most of it off-the-books. A few weeks ago, officials in Beijing believed stocks could be getting overheated and decided to crack down on margin trading. Since then, Shanghai shares have plunged about 30% and have been down 13 straight days.” Continue reading →
