From the Washington Examiner, the U.S. paid more in 2014 for the babies of illegal aliens than is appropriated for President Trump's wall. (This would mean that if the wall is ever built - which I currently regard as rather doubtful - it would cut down these "anchor" births, and thus pay for itself.)
From The Daily Caller, ExxonMobil sends money to a group campaigning for a national carbon tax. (Why do proposed solutions to the problems of man-made carbon dioxide and its effect on the climate always seem to include a new tax?)
And from Breaking Burgh, cockroaches say that reported climate change is "nothing to worry about". (I have long believed that cockroaches will survive a nuclear holocaust, or whatever we humans do to destroy ourselves, and afterwards evolve to become the earth's next sapient species, so I'm sure that an extra degree or two in the earth's average temperature won't bother them.)
