Apr 13, 2025 ~ 'Trump Is Right About Showerheads' A new EO rolls back unpopular regulations on shower head flow enacted by Biden. "No longer will shower heads be weak and worthless." Trump is single handedly fixing every problem created by Democrats. [Regulations, Trump Win]
Mar 29, 2025 ~ "EU to Slap Mark Zuckerberg‘s Meta with Record Antitrust Fine of Up to $1 Billion" The EU is at it again. Every year they shake down another company or two for 100s of millions or billions of dollars. They are a criminal organization that funds itself by extorting successful companies on bogus charges. This year it's FaceBook's turn to fork over. Other years its Google, or Microsoft or Apple etc. They all have to pay 'protection money' to the EU mob. [Loathsome Left, Regulations]
Mar 23, 2025 ~ 'JD Vance: Businesses That ‘Invest in America‘ Will Be Rewarded' "Vance spoke about how the Trump administration’s “goal is to make it easier and more affordable to make things again” in the U.S. President Trump has been clear about his plan, about our administration’s plan — our goal is to make it easier and more affordable to make things again in the United States of America. If you invest in America, in American jobs, in American workers and in American businesses, you’re going to be rewarded. We’re going to cut your taxes, we’re going to slash regulations, and we’re going to reduce the cost of energy and build things right here in this country that all of us love. But, if you try to undercut us and build outside of our borders, President Trump’s administration has got nothing for you. If you want to be rewarded, build in America. If you want to be penalized, build outside of America. It’s as simple as that.” [Economics, Economy, Politics, Regulations, Trump Win]
Feb 15, 2025 ~ 'Mr. President, May I Drive the Bulldozer?' Former director at the Department of Education says "The agency should be bulldozed. It is a gigantic cesspool of apparatchiks who are sucking up money that should go to the students." "There is nothing to be saved at the U.S. Department of Education. Send the money directly to the states without allowing D.C. to capture the money and redirect it to social engineering projects, special interests, and union-protected employees who do not contribute to the actual education of students." [Education, Politics, Regulations]
Feb 15, 2025 ~ 'Nellie Bowles: The Triumph of the Plastic Straw' "The biggest environmentalist craze of my generation started in 2011 with Vermont 9-year-old Milo Cress cooking up an arbitrary number for how many plastic straws Americans used daily. This 9-year-old figured it was so many. He says he called up straw manufacturers and calculated 500 million a day. Boom, big number, good number. The mainstream media was off to the races. That 500 million a day number was cited in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Suddenly the most important thing we could do for the environment—for our children!—was ban plastic straws. States and cities passed laws against them. California banned them from restaurants outright in 2018. New York, in 2021, changed the law so the only straws on display were paper (you were allowed to ask for plastic). Official fact sheets from Ron DeSantis’s state of Florida instruct Floridians to “Skip the Straw,” citing the 500 million figure. Did anyone question the basis of this? Get them out of coffee shops! No plastic straw in your Diet Coke! If we could all suffer a little bit by, instead, holding a piece of paper in our mouths for 20 minutes each day, then maybe we could redeem the environment. The paper straw could do something. The paper straw said “I’m willing to be uncomfortable and sacrifice for a bigger purpose.” It said: We Believe the Science. But a few small issues: No one ever liked the paper straws. They don’t work. The 500 million number was fake. And banning straws doesn’t really do much of anything for the environment at all." Yet another thing that Trump is fixing in his spare time... [Regulations, Trump Win]
Feb 15, 2025 ~ 'Did Musk Really Just Kill the CFPB? Please Make Sure It Stays Dead' “‘Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies,’ Musk wrote.” Its funding setup is unconstitutional also. [DOGE, Regulations, Trump Win]

Dec 28, 2024 ~ 'Hochul and NY State Climate Cult Members Hit Energy Companies up for $75B' This is an insane money grab not backed up by real data.

Dec 9, 2024 ~ "Billionaire Tech Investor Says Biden Admin Pressured Financial Institutions To ‘Debank’ Opponents" Marc Andreessen: "Basically, it [CFPB] terrorizes financial institutions.

This is where a lot of the debanking comes from, is these agencies. So, debanking is when you as either a person or your company are literally kicked out of the banking system. … My partner, Ben’s father, has been debanked. … for having the wrong politics. For saying, 'unacceptable things' under current banking regulations."   "I haven’t heard of a single instance of anyone on the Left getting debanked. You get kicked out of your bank account. You get kicked out of the — you can’t do credit card transactions."   "We’ve had like 30 founders debanked in the last four years. This is one of the reasons why we ended up supporting Trump. It’s like we just can’t live in this world.”   "We can’t live in a world where somebody starts a company that’s a completely legal thing and then they literally like get sanctioned, right, and embargoed by the United States government through a completely unaccountable – by the way, no due process. None of this is written down. There’s no rules. There’s no court. There’s no decision process. There’s no appeal. Who do you appeal to, right? Like who do you go to to get your bank account back, right? And then there’s also the civil asset forfeiture side of it … that happens to people in a lot of places now who get arrested and all of a sudden the state takes their money. … There will be some investigation into safe deposit boxes, and the next thing you know, the feds have seized all the contents of the safe deposit boxes, and that stuff never gets returned.” [Free Speech, Loathsome Left, Regulations, Silencing]
Nov 23, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'Destructive Environmentalists' "People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things." They oppose almost all mines in the US making getting permits take almost 30 years. Most companies won't even bother anymore, opting instead for mines in Africa which exploit people and children with little oversight. "But the green movement has been perfectly happy outsourcing mining to disadvantaged countries where thousands of children in bare feet, working by hand with shovels, dig minerals out of the earth." "You start applying for permits," says Mills, "You're going to be waiting not months, not years, but decades!" [Environment, John Stossel, Regulations]
Nov 19, 2024 ~ 'Pay Up, Zuck: Meta Slapped with $840 Million Fine in Europe over Anticompetitive Practices' The EU is a truly sick and deeply corrupt organization. Almost a billion dollar fine for providing people with the incredibly useful and popular FaceBook Marketplace. They very regularly shake down successful companies for billions of dollars.

We're running trillion dollar deficits and these fools want triple our insolvency. Complete maniacs. She absurdly tries to sell this massively unaffordable waste of money as a "big economic opportunity." "Of course, it really is a massive economic opportunity if you happen to own or have stock in one of the many 'green energy' companies that have been cropping up. It's also a wonderful opportunity for China and any other nations that are sitting on the largest stockpiles of rare-earth metals needed to build all of the batteries required to drive all of this nonsense. But for everyone else, it's a massive, pointless money sink." [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Debt, Deficit, Economics, Regulations]
Jul 2, 2024 ~ 'Ted Cruz Explains Importance Of SCOTUS Overturning Chevron Decision' “The Chevron decision created something that is called ‘Chevron Deference.’ Now what is Chevron Deference? It was a doctrine that said the courts will defer to federal agencies on rules and regulations so long as that rule and regulation is, quote, ‘reasonable. What it did is it gave enormous powers to un-elected bureaucrats and Chevron, you can trace in a very direct line, the rise of the administrative state, the rise of unelected bureaucrats issuing rules that are incredibly costly to the American people, incredibly harmful to the American people, you can trace that rise to the Chevron Doctrine."   "And so, the court last week overruled Chevron, what that means now, is that it is Congress, it’s the elected members of Congress that have to make policy decisions that impact the American people, not the armies of bureaucrats who have no democratic accountability. The result today is there is more power in the elected members of Congress. And the reason that matters because where power resides, you want it to reside where there’s accountability." [Regulations, SCOTUS]
Jun 29, 2024 ~ 'Chevron Deference Has Ceased to Be' SCOTUS overturns the disastrous 'Chevron' decision that gave unelected bureaucrats ridiculous regulatory power that rightfully belongs with Congress and the Courts. Way more power than they constitutionally really have. [Regulations, SCOTUS]
Jun 3, 2024 ~ 'A Ban on Freelance Work' "The Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new regulations to reclassify many individual contractors as payroll employees."

As usual, government does more harm than good with their 'good intentions.' [Economics, John Stossel, Regulations]
Mar 29, 2024 ~ The EU opens antitrust investigations into Apple, Google & Meta over 'DMA compliance.' The US DOJ opens an antitrust suit against Apple for some other BS.

Sep 18, 2023 ~ Ryan Mills, "California EV Rules ‘Totally Impractical,’ Truckers Say; May as Well ‘Build a Spaceship and Go to Mars’" All of these many problems were forseeable by all but Democrat politician pinheads.

From our analysis, none of the regulatory changes made during the Trump administration at this point can be cited as contributing to the accident." [Fake News, Regulations]
Feb 26, 2023 ~ Horrible train wreck in East Palestine, OH. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who's been essentially absent for 3 crises now, used the opportunity to blame Trump and Republicans claiming it was caused by 'deregulation.' So did the know nothings on the View, Behar, Houstin! NTSB refutes their claims, "ECP brakes would not have prevented the derailment.
