Investors in some of the nation’s most heavily subsidized green energy companies are among the top campaign fundraisers for Hillary Clinton, who has pledged to step up government support for wind, solar, and other renewable energy companies.
Clinton’s green energy investor bundlers have been deeply involved in prior efforts at the state and federal levels to secure taxpayer funds for such companies. A Clinton presidency would virtually guarantee additional subsidies and government incentives.
“I met yesterday in Chicago with a big group of clean renewable energy businesses and they’re just ready to go,” she said at an Iowa campaign stop in November. “But they need some help from the government.”

GOPDD: Target CEO Blames Climate Change, Not Bathroom Policy, for Hurting Sales

May 22, 2016 by Clyde

As retailer Target sees its stock plummeting and sales dropping in the midst of a boycott over its recently announced pro-transgender bathroom policy, the company’s CEO is insisting the weather is the cause of falling sales, not the company’s bathroom policy.
In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Target CEO Brian Cornell pegged the downturn in the company’s fortunes to the cold weather as opposed to anything the company itself is doing or not doing.

GOPDD: National Review Writer: Working-Class Communities ‘Deserve To Die’

By Jen - Mar 12, 2016

Daily Caller reported; National Review’s Kevin Williamson believes Donald Trump’s appeals to the white working class are “immoral” because that demographic’s way of life deserves to die out.

GOPDD: HuffPo’s Grim: 54 Private Jets at Meeting to Stop Trump

By Jen - Mar 10, 2016

(Breitbart) Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Tuesday that “something like 54 private jets” had arrived at an elite meeting of tech CEOs, GOP party insiders and big donors set on stopping Donald Trump before he wins the Republican nomination.
The meeting was the annual World Forum, an off-the-record conference hosted by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a leading Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank. AEI has hosted the “secretive” event since 1982, but this year had a unique focus. Republican pundit Bill Kristol and former George W. Bush strategist Karl Rove were there, among others, including leaders of both the House and Senate.

GOPDD: Year Increase In Illegal Family Units, BP Not Allowed To Go Into ‘High-Traffic Areas’

By Jen - Mar 8, 2016

(Breitbart) Pinal County, AZ Sheriff and Congressional candidate Paul Babeu (R) stated that ” Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of illegals that are coming in. And we pointed out, there’s not just a 25% increase in the first four months of this fiscal year, there’s 102% increase in unaccompanied juveniles, and 170% year-over-year increase in family units” and Border Patrol agents aren’t allowed to go into “known high-traffic areas” a move he said “is intentional” on the Obama administration’s part on Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto.”
Babeu said, “I stood with Border Patrol agents, Brandon Judd and other leaders, right here from Arizona, as well as from Texas, the top sectors, that are being overrun. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of illegals that are coming in. And we pointed out, there’s not just a 25% increase in the first four months of this fiscal year, there’s 102% increase in unaccompanied juveniles, and 170% year-over-year increase in family units. And so, you don’t have to be a Border Patrol agent to figure out what’s happening here. And the president, and what is disturbing is that these Border Patrol agents are not only releasing these illegals out the front door, in many cases they’re not giving an NTA, which is a notice to appear. Which was a joke to begin with, because most of them never showed up for their court hearing, but they’re not even giving them this paper any further in many instances.”
