Exclusive: Trump EPA To Reverse Biden’s
Climate-Fueled Crackdown on Gas Used To
Sterilize Medical Devices

The Trump EPA is moving to rescind Biden-era regulations that cracked down on the health industry’s use of ethylene oxide, a colorless gas used to sterilize 95 percent of all surgical kits and 50 percent of all medical devices used in the United States, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. The agency will issue a proposal on Friday to restore more-attainable restrictions on ethylene oxide that had been in place for decades. If finalized, it would scrap rules the Biden EPA issued in 2024 that forced the nation’s nearly 100 highly specialized medical sterilization facilities to slash ethylene oxide emissions by more than 90 percent—something that would have required them

FTA: "Friday's move is one of the Trump administration’s single largest deregulatory actions to date. It will save the medical device industry as much as $630 million over the next two decades, according to estimates from the EPA. Hospitals and medical device manufacturers had argued the Biden-era rules were overly burdensome, would greatly reduce the number of devices that could be sterilized every year, and would push up health care costs."

Ecocrazies do not care in the slightest how much havoc they wreak on the economy. They are just as dangerous "religious zealots" as the Muslims...just in a different religion....the Climate Crazy Cult.

Ethylene oxide emissions are already scrubbed. So what is the major malfunction?

When George Soros spends millions of dollars to elect soft-on-crime prosecutors in many of the United States’ biggest cities, much of that money ends up in the hands of a single Manhattan-based communications firm that’s boosted prosecutors’ campaigns. Campaign finance records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show that the PACs Soros uses to fund left-wing DA campaigns have steered millions of dollars to BerlinRosen, a PR firm that "happens to be the largest expenditure item for nearly all Soros DA campaign spending," according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. Led by former New York Senate Democratic campaign operatives Valerie Berlin and Jonathan Rosen, the firm’s clients have included

The Department of Justice charged a Virginia man Friday for allegedly selling a stolen firearm to the ISIS-inspired Old Dominion University shooter after authorities previously caught him illegally purchasing firearms during the Biden administration but declined to prosecute. Authorities say 36-year-old Mohamed Jalloh walked into a classroom at the Virginia campus, asked if it was an ROTC class, and then began shooting, killing an instructor and injuring two students. Federal prosecutors charged 32-year-old Kenya Chapman with dealing in firearms without a license in connection with the March 12 shooting and with three counts of making false statements during firearm purchases, according to a Justice Department press release.

Last year, while the media was busy crying over Trump’s America First immigration policies, his admin was quietly making a really clever structural change to the way immigration courts operate… and oddly enough, nobody’s really talking about this. Instead of sitting around pontificating and debating policy until the cows come home, President Trump made a move to change the entire system… and a year later, we can see that it’s working. But last year the left absolutely flipped out. Reports started circulating that the Trump administration planned to deploy hundreds of military lawyers, known as JAG officers, to serve as immigration judges through the Department of Justice. Left-wingers instantly began warning

Democrats in both chambers of Congress are plotting potential investigations into companies, colleges, and even law firms that worked with the Trump administration, according to a report. Axios reported that Democrats are in the early stages of planning to use their subpoena power if they take power after the 2026 midterm elections. Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), all of whom serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee, have been involved in the preliminary discussions, according to Axios.

“Islam is largely alien to American history—it certainly didn’t come into the United States on the Mayflower,” freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) observed last month.

The Army is offering a fat reward for the capture of two thieves who stole drones from a base — amid fears of a possible Iranian drone strike on US soil. The Army Criminal Investigation Division is offering a $5,000 reward for info leading to the arrest of the thieves who lifted the drones from Kentucky’s Fort Campbell in November. The drones were stolen between Nov. 21 and 24, but officials didn’t reveal when they were discovered missing. The drones were Skydio X10D systems — light, long-range quadcopters used for aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.

Gridlock could be a thing of the past for New Yorkers — as the metropolitan area has been selected to become a test zone for high-flying air taxies. The program will allow Big Apple travelers to shuttle via air transport from places like Manhattan to the local airports for the price of a luxury car service — after the Trump administration on Monday named New York and several other cities to be part of the air taxi tests. The Port Authority will partner with several aerospace companies to run the three-year test — in which helicopter-like air vehicles will ferry users from short runways and heliports to places such as

Now that the Virginia General Assembly has passed what it calls “assault weapon ban” legislation, all that’s needed is for Gov. Abigail Spanberger to sign it into law, which is all but a given. Once signed, Senate Bill 749 will likely take effect as soon as July 1, 2026. The law will ban the sale, import, manufacture, purchase, and transfer of what it describes as “assault firearms,” and it will treat high-capacity magazines that can hold 15 rounds or more in the same way. It will make any violations of the law a “Class 1 misdemeanor,” which could mean up to a year in jail and a $2,500

James “God is Non-binary” Talarico believes white males have a greater responsibility to love trans kids. Rep. Talarico (D-TX) is the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate. Let me just state right here and right now that people who “love trans kids” do not — as Talarico constantly does — advocate for queering, sexualizing, chemically sterilizing, and performing irreversible “gender affirming” mutilations on them. The bottom line is this: James Transarico is a full-blown monster deliberately perverting the Christian faith to obtain power. I’ve never seen anything like this guy. He’s a demon with a baby face.

You come here to shop and you leave. I’m not supposed to have a customer covering her baby’s eyes,” Miguel Garcia, the store’s owner, told The Post.

An investigation by CBS News has discovered massive Medicare fraud at more than 700 out of 1,800 licensed hospice providers in Los Angeles County. The scam utilizes stolen Medicare numbers to fraudulently enroll healthy seniors in hospice with fake terminal diagnoses, billing Medicare an average of $29,000 per patient without delivering care, to the tune of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. About 31 percent of hospice and home health companies in the U.S. are registered in L.A. County but when investigators visited the addresses listed, they found no clinics, patients or healthcare workers. Instead they found multiple red flags, including multiple hospices in one building,

Poet Robert Frost once said that "good fences make good neighbors." He apparently never met Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is being sued by his neighbors for effectively squatting on their land and then seizing it to install a fence along his $830,500 private residence in suburban Philadelphia. The litigation is likely to put Shapiro in a much different light for many who think of him as a 2028 contender. The irony of the case is crushing. Shapiro opposed Trump's plan to build a wall along the southern border, declaring that he would sue before a dime of Pennsylvania money went to pay for it. He apparently adopted

Occasionally I hear credentialed professionals with prestigious titles whine about the so-called “war on expertise.” It really bothers people who see themselves as “experts” that a growing share of society ignores them. A psychologist might intuit something revealing from the lack of self-confidence plaguing our “expert” class. If all the fancy degrees, voluminous curricula vitae, and lofty career positions have failed to instill a resilient modicum of self-esteem, then perhaps all those things are not the true measures of a person’s worth. “Experts” do not like to be challenged. They say things such as, “I have a PhD in this,”

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is floating an extreme new proposal to change the state’s estate tax — a move that would hurt middle-class New Yorkers and their loved ones. The socialist mayor wants to drastically slash the estate tax exemption threshold from the $7 million limit to just $750,000, a drop of more than 90%, according to a memo City Hall recently circulated to Albany lawmakers. The “Tax Revenue Raising Proposals” document is a wish list containing dozens of different tax hikes that could be employed to bail the Big Apple out, according to Bloomberg.

A ruthless “robbery crew” in Northern California turned a high-end Fremont jewelry store into a smash-and-grab wasteland, escaping with a staggering $1.7 million in merchandise in just over a minute. Shocking surveillance footage released recently by the U.S. Department of Justice shows the precision of the heist, which occurred on June 18, 2025 at Kumar Jewelers in Fremont. Described by authorities as a “mob-style takeover,” the video shows a fleet of vehicles screeching to a halt in front of the storefront, and a crew of nearly two dozen masked suspects in dark hoodies swarming in like a tactical unit. Armed with picks, hammers and carrying backpacks, the chaos that ensued inside

The dramatic fallout has quickly turned into a public feud, with Prejean Boller launching a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and members of the commission after her removal. According to Fox News, the decision to remove Prejean Boller was praised by multiple religious leaders and conservatives who argued that the commission’s purpose is to defend religious liberty, not serve as a platform for controversial personal activism.
