Bovendien waren de foto's niet klein, ze waren was (in px²) ruim 6 keer zo groot als de foto's die er eerst stonden (100x144 werd 266x337), plus dat ze al op 3 augustus 2017 op algemeen verzoek waren weggehaald.

Nee, laat die bidprentjes alsjeblieft weg.

New Offshore Drilling Analysis Shows What Trump’s Plan Puts At Stake

The Trump administration’s proposal to open up nearly all U.S. waters to oil and gas development threatens more than 2.5 million jobs and roughly $180 billion in gross domestic product in coastal states, according to an economic review by ocean conservation nonprofit Oceana.

The new analysis of fishing, tourism and recreation industry data comes in response to the administration’s sweeping offshore drilling plan aimed at opening huge swaths of the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans to oil exploration. The proposal, part of an ongoing “energy dominance” agenda, makes available for lease roughly 90 percent of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.

Diane Hoskins, a campaign director at Oceana, said the main takeaway from the review is that expanding offshore drilling is not worth the risks this activity would pose to coastal communities that rely on clean, healthy oceans.

“It’s time for [Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke] and Washington to listen to the millions of Americans who already made their voices heard on this issue,” she said. “They’re overwhelmingly saying ‘no’ to drilling off their coasts. And these numbers make it clear just how much is at stake.”

Over wie heb je het?

quote:

Senate Republicans are weighing how to respond to President Trump's floated tariffs, including potentially passing new legislation to rein him in if he moves forward with the plan.

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday said Congress should look at trying to "box in" what tariffs a president can impose on imported materials.

"I would like to see what we can do for him imposing tariffs and that should be something Congress does, not the president," Flake said, adding that he didn't think the steel and aluminum tariffs floated by Trump meet the national security qualifications under Section 232 of the trade law.

Trump's decision to push forward with tariffs on imported steel and aluminum has roiled Capitol Hill, where Republicans are pleading publicly for him to at least narrow the forthcoming financial penalties.

But Trump appeared to double down on his tariff plan Tuesday stressing that he will move forward despite warnings from GOP lawmakers and even some of his own advisers.

Flake noted that GOP Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) has introduced legislation that would limit a president's ability to unilaterally make trade policy.


"Congress has delegated its authority in this area to the executive branch in great abundance over the last century or so," Lee told Forbes on Tuesday. "This legislation would seek to return some trade authority to Congress as a way to protect against unilateral decisions from the executive branch."

Lee's legislation would require congressional approval for Trump's trade actions, including tariffs.

The legislation was introduced last year. But a spokesman for Lee, asked if he's spoken to other senators following Trump's tariff announcement, said on Tuesday that the Utah Republican "has talked with many of his colleagues about the bill."

GOP Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) told reporters on Tuesday that he would support new legislation if Trump pushes forward with his tariff plan. And Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) told reporters on Monday that Congress could take action in response to the tariffs - but declined to say what those potential actions would be.

Asked what legislative response Congress should consider if Trump levies a blanket tariff on steel and aluminium imports, GOP Sen. Pat Roberts (Kan.) also mentioned Lee's bill, noting it would require the administration to detail what potential retaliatory actions the United States could face.

"There was legislation introduced, I think before this happened, stating that it would be appropriate for those who are considering a tariff to also consider and itemize what retaliation would be forthcoming. ... That's pretty important," Roberts said.

Meanwhile, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) - the chairman of the Senate GOP's campaign arm - told Bloomberg that he has "no doubt Congress would be forced to act" if Trump enacts the tariffs.

"There is a series of legislative actions that could be taken to reverse the decision, obviously with the president supporting them they would have to be done in a way that would overcome any action that he would take, but we still have time," he said.

Limiting Trump's trade authority would mark a drastic break in the sometimes frayed relationship between congressional Republicans and the president. It's unclear if GOP lawmakers would be willing to take such a step.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) floated that Congress might be able to do a resolution of disapproval of Trump's tariffs, but appeared skeptical that it could get the votes to make it "binding."

Asked about Lee's legislation, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said Tuesday, "I don't think we're at the point [where] we need to consider that bill, yet."

Blunt also appeared skeptical that the administration would be able to prove that broad tariffs on steel and aluminum imports were tied to national security.

"He has the authority to levy the tariffs, but anybody has the authority to go to court and see if it meets the standard," Blunt said.

GOP leadership has focused on publicly and privately warning Trump that the tariffs could wipe away the economic gains sparked by the GOP tax law only months before the midterm election.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) broke his silence on Tuesday saying he and other Republicans are concerned and "urging caution" as the administration finalizes its plan.

"I think the best way to characterize where most Republican senators are right now, including myself, is genuine concern that this not escalate into something much broader," McConnell told reporters on Tuesday.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that the administration needs "to be more surgical in its approach."

Meanwhile, Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the No. 2 Senate Republican, floated that the Senate Finance Committee should hold hearings, while Hatch, the panel's chairman, sent a letter to Trump saying he has "very deep concerns."

Before Ben Carson accepted President Trump’s offer to become secretary of housing and urban development, a friend implored him to turn down the job to preserve the reputation he had earned as a brilliant neurosurgeon and lost, in part, as a politician.

The confidant, Logan Delany Jr., who was the treasurer of Mr. Carson’s 2016 presidential campaign, described HUD as a “swamp” of “corruption.” He predicted in an email that Mr. Carson’s “lack of a background in housing” would make him prey to the department’s career staff and political appointees, as well as predatory lobbyists.

To drive home the point, Mr. Delany appended a link to an obituary of Samuel R. Pierce Jr., the Reagan-era HUD secretary whose reputation as a trailblazing black corporate lawyer was tarnished by accusations that he steered contracts to Republican cronies.

Mr. Delany’s most dire prediction has not materialized. But many of the other problems outlined in the memo have come to pass during Mr. Carson’s first year running a sprawling $47-billion-a-year community development bureaucracy that provides rental subsidies for about five million families and oversees people living in 1.2 million units of public housing. And Mr. Carson’s own lapses in judgment — combined with the questionable behavior of his family and his reluctance to aggressively engage Mr. Trump — have left him at the margins of the cabinet.

Mr. Carson, people close to him said, has been whipsawed by a job he has found puzzling and frustrating — so much so that he considered quitting during recent wrangling over the department’s budget. “There are more complexities here than in brain surgery,” Mr. Carson said in an interview last week. “Doing this job is going to be a very intricate process.”
