Dear Dave,

How do you sell a vehicle with a lien amount that’s higher than the actual value of the car?

Dear Michael,

Give blood with the Red Cross during National Volunteer Month

(April 5, 2018) — The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood during National Volunteer Month this April. Donating blood is a simple way for those who are short on time to make a life-changing difference.

On Thursday, streams of water will carry 250,000 kokanee salmon—two to three inches long—out of stocking trucks and into the blue water at Jordanelle Reservoir. Stocking a quarter of a million fish is another step in turning Jordanelle into an amazing fishery. In addition to kokanee salmon (which biologists introduced to the reservoir a couple of years ago), two hybrid fish species—tiger muskie and wipers—now live in Jordanelle.

Time to Rethink the Renewable Fuel Standard
By Merrill Matthews

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt thinks U.S. refiners are forced to blend too much ethanol into their gasoline.

If ever a federal program has outlived its usefulness, it’s the government’s support for ethanol.

In 2005, Congress passed the Energy Policy Act, creating the Renewable Fuel Standard. The RFS requires nearly all gasoline to be mixed with ethanol, which is mostly corn-based and increasingly includes other biofuels.

Globalists Denied their RepublicanAt no time in U.S. History was globalist rule challenged more than in the 2016 presidential election in both major political parties.  Democratic enthusiasm clearly went to Bernie Sanders, not an establishment candidate, and not to long-term establishment candidate Hillary Clinton who is believed to have used the DNC to eliminate opponent Sanders who had three times the crowd attendance.  Had the race been fair it is plausible that the Democrats would not have had a globalist candidate.

Alaskan Energy Development: Pro Consumer, Pro Taxpayer, Pro Prosperity
By Robert L. Bradley, Jr.

President Trump's tax reform included a bonus for consumers, taxpayers, and Alaska: opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to energy development. Such action reverses a four-decade, Carter-to-Obama animus against developing what the federal government has estimated could be one of the largest oil fields in U.S. history.
