Barack Obama renovated it in 2012 and left a big mess when he left office because instead of using city water treated with chlorine, he brought in brackish water from the Tidal Basin and treated it with a product called Ozone.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin discusses his debate with Reps. Rosa DeLauro and Rob Menendez on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
There was a time—not that long ago—when a man who couldn’t tie a knot was considered about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Today, we’ve got people carrying $1,200 smartphones, satellite GPS, and enough titanium gadgets clipped to their belt to look like a walking REI catalog… and they can’t tie a loop that won’t slip under load.
What is FERC, you ask?:
“FERC’s Mission: Assist consumers in obtaining reliable, safe, secure, and economically efficient energy services at a reasonable cost through appropriate regulatory and market means, and collaborative efforts.”
The modern world likes to believe it has outgrown geography. Satellites circle the planet, data moves at the speed of light, and weapons can strike targets from continents away. Military theorists speak confidently about cyber war, artificial intelligence, and fifth-generation conflict conducted across digital networks and orbital platforms. Yet despite all this technological sophistication, the global economy still depends on an astonishingly simple fact of physical geography: about twenty-one miles of ocean between Iran and Oman control roughly a quarter of the world’s oil and enormous quantities of energy-related commodities such as petrochemical feedstocks and fertilizer inputs.
On Boxing Day of 2023, I noted an article in The Wall Street Journal concerning investors souring on electric vehicle charging companies.

George Orwell didn’t imagine tyranny arriving with solar panels and fiber optic cable. He imagined telescreens and ration cards. But swap telescreens for smart meters and ration cards for CBDCs, and suddenly 1984 doesn’t look retro — it looks beta-tested.
For China, renewables represent the intersection of green technology development, 15-minute cities, and comprehensive social controls glued together by local police bureaus and lubricated by money.
The left has attacked cow milk for decades now preferring artificial substances, such as substituting margarine for butter. In recent years, beverages made from almonds, oats and other crops have been pitched as substitutes for milk.
Oil was a critical resource we were running out of, until we were not running out. Same with Lithium.
Future wars won’t thunder across borders on tanks or scream overhead in fighter jets. That’s old-fashioned, noisy, and—worst of all—obvious. The next wars will arrive quietly, wearing lab coats, carrying clipboards, and insisting it’s “just a naturally occurring disruption.” No explosions. No declarations. Just empty shelves, euthanized livestock, and a government spokesperson calmly reminding you that there is no evidence of foul play at this time.
They tell you baiting bans are about “science.” They say it’s about “wildlife health.” They deliver it in that soothing government voice that always means, “We’re here to help… ourselves.”
During the final months of the Biden regime in late 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accelerated the allocation of billions in grants and contracts, primarily through Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) programs
There’s a reason our ancestors didn’t hold hands, light candles, and sing to wolves. They eradicated them. Not out of ignorance, not out of cruelty, but out of lived experience.
