The 2025 Trump administration represents a watershed moment in Silicon Valley’s political entrenchment. Through formal appointments and informal networks, the PayPal Mafia and its allies have institutionalized a deregulatory agenda that conflates corporate profit with national interest. Their shared objectives—AI supremacy, cryptocurrency normalization, and federal privatization—underscore a broader ideological shift toward technocratic authoritarianism, where technological innovation is framed as an existential imperative beyond democratic accountability.

That Giant Flushing Sound

Yes, that’s the sound of President Trump directing the EPA and Department of Energy to reverse nearly every Biden regulation on home appliances and fixtures – everything from toilets to lawnmowers – in one big beautiful executive order that he signed on Day One, and reminded his EPA administrator yesterday to move quickly to implement:

Now you only have to flush once. Now you can take a real shower and not wait to trickle down.

No longer will the nanny state tell you what kind of car you can put in your garage, what kind of lawn mower, weed wacker, or sprinkler you can use on your lawn, what kind of light bulb you can put in your lamps, what kind of stove or dishwasher you can use in your kitchen.

These were supposed to save energy and money, but instead they caused a consumer backlash.

Here’s a partial list of the appliances that will be liberated from regulations either finalized or proposed under Biden:

Gas Stoves
Ovens
Light Bulbs
Cars
Clothes Washers
Refrigerators
Freezers
Air Conditioners
Dishwashers
Pool Pumps
Battery Chargers
Ceiling Fans
Dehumidifiers
Microwave Ovens
Portable Electric Spas
Air Compressors
Water Heaters
Furnaces

Free. Free at last!

Trudeau gov’t blows tax dollars on 'gender equity' in Paraguay’s toilet boards!
While Canadians struggle with the rising cost of living, failing healthcare, and crippling taxes, Ottawa is busy funding woke bureaucrats in South America to lecture people on gender politics in water management.

PFAS: 'Forever Chemicals' in US Drinking Water Linked to Cancer, Scientists Find

In a very unexpected development Denmark is now working directly with Russia's Gazprom to do environmental mitigation on the damaged Nord Stream pipelines, in the wake of the multiple underwater blasts that took them offline on September 26, 2022 - leading to years of accusations against Moscow and a Russia-West tit-for-tat.
Denmark's energy agency has granted Nord Stream 2 AG (which is under Gazprom) permission to engage in preservation work on Nord Stream 2 in the Baltic Sea. The agency described that there remain serious safety risks after the natural gas pipeline was filled with seawater and the remnants of natural gas.

Where is the MELTING ICE ???
Meteorologist Tom Niziol wrote on X, "Lake Erie over 80% ice-covered, freighter Manitoulan is stuck in the ice just outside Buffalo Harbor." Then came 'Old Man Winter,' unleashing a polar vortex across the eastern half of the US, bringing record-low temperatures in some regions. Multiple winter storms traversed the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, including an incredibly rare snowstorm that battered New Orleans (bordering Gulf of America waters) that nearly surpassed a snowstorm last seen 130 years ago.

Curly Dock Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes, I made chocolate chip cookies using curly dock seed flour! Of course there was more to it than that, when you learn to cook with wild provisions, there's always more to it.

This is a great recipe to have if don't or can't have eggs in the house, don't or can't have milk in the house, and you still want a cookie! If you can't have gluten either due to glyphosate sensitivities (such as chron's or colitis), you can try the alternative flour the original author recommends in addition to the curly dock. The author also suggests that if you want to reduce the fat (something no longer recommended due to the body's use of dietary fat to create the various hormones your body uses, nerve health, etc) you can replace a quarter cup of fat with apple sauce and reduce some of the water as well. I have made applesauce cake and cake muffins in the past, so I know this can work with regular flour, I haven't tried it with wild flour yet.
