Can we expect a full, complete, and aggressive investigation of charges of wrongdoing by officials in the FBI and the Department of Justice on these matters?

I have been reading Gregg Jarrett's book on the Comey investigation into the Clinton emails and the Uranium One deal and the Mueller investigation into the Trump campaign.

The appearance of favoritism or partisanship by law enforcement agencies is absolutely deadly to a Nation that is founded upon the principle of equal justice under law.

Are we experiencing the most ferocious hurricanes in recorded history? No, we are not.

Are we experiencing the worst droughts in recorded history? No, we are not.

Are we experiencing the highest temperatures in the planet's history? No. Probably over the last 150 years, yes.

You know, the thing we hear all the time is, 'Oh, all the scientists agree,' and yet here you are...

Doesn't it make sense to manage our forests, to match the tree density to the ability of the land to support it?

Doesn't it make sense to phase out flood insurance subsidies that encourage people to build in flood plains by hiding their risk?

Doesn't it make sense to build new nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams that produce electricity with no air emissions?

Science thrives on civil and dispassionate debate.

Science tells us that at the end of the last Ice Age ocean levels were 400 feet lower than they are today.

No one denies that our planet is warming, carbon dioxide levels are increasing, and ocean levels are rising.

We also need to consider the enormous cost that the left would impose on each of our families in pursuit of its Green New Deal.

When someone tells you the debate is over, that dissent should be forbidden, and dissenters should be personally attacked, that is not a scientist talking; that is a politician.

I think we also learned that depending upon law enforcement alone is not sufficient.

It seems to me that hardening security at schools has got to be backed up by armed force.

I think depending on criminals and madmen to obey gun laws is delusional.

We have found them extremely effective at disarming law-abiding citizens. We have found them extremely ineffective at disarming criminals, madmen, and terrorists.

If we are going to be able to store less moisture in the mountains as snow, does it make sense to build more dams, so that we can store surplus water from wet years so that we have it in dry years?

How are poor people helped by paying needlessly sky-high prices for gasoline and electricity?

Natural gas is the perfect partner for wind and solar, because of the intermittency, because you can fire up a gas burner and fire it back down.

Would you say that the greatest single threat in extreme weather, either hot or cold, is a lack of electricity?

During the recent cold wave, those states that relied excessively on wind and solar saw electricity outages.

Governor, shouldn't we be actively suppressing brush buildup and free our firefighters to establish containment breaks before a fire starts?
