Ted Cruz To Oversee NASA and US Science Programs
romanval sends word that U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) will become the new chairman of the subcommittee that oversees NASA and government scientific research. Cruz has both spoken in favor of NASA and attempted to cut its budget, but he's most notable for his opposition to the science supporting climate change. From the article:
His vociferous opposition to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and his support of extreme budget cuts could spell trouble for NASA's less prominent programs, such as its own climate research and sophisticated supercomputers. His role on the front lines of the 2013 government shutdown, which critics say had lasting negative effects on public safety, NASA research and EPA scientists' ability to visit contaminated sites, also suggests at best a narrow focus on NASA's largest projects and at worst a disregard for agencies that require science funding.
All part of our new program to send a rocket to heaven! It's what Jesus and Pat Robertson would want.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
First you insult me and then you demand that I admit you're right? You must be a Republican.
Half-truths and misrepresentations drummed up by faux news, but that does get the 'base' out (i.e. nitwits)

Yes, the bearing of false witness has become big business these days, as Fox News so admirably demonstrates. No one should be surprised, since Rupert Murdoch worships the Golden Calf.
They put Sen. Inhofe in charge of the EPA.
Sen. Inhofe being of the "climate change is a hoax because God says so" and "we should shut down the EPA, and repeal the clean air/water acts, because they never did anything useful" variety.
The guy who said the election was rigged won the presidency with the second-most votes.
