Trump To Sign EO On Ending Plastic Straw Bans

Trump says he’ll sign order promoting plastic straws

President Trump said Friday he plans to sign an executive order promoting plastic straws after his predecessor sought to phase out single-use plastics from government operations.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”

The post appears to be referring to former President Biden’s goal of phasing out single-use plastic — like plastic straws — in federal food service by 2027 and government operations at large by 2035.

Plastics are produced using oil and gas, and promoting the use of the material could be a win for Trump’s allies in the energy industry as well as the plastics industry.

When the Biden goals were announced, the White House said plastic was “littering our ocean, poisoning the air of communities near production facilities, and threatening public health.”

And the climate cultists have been dead set against anything made with petroleum, because they’re wackos.

Microplastics have become omnipresent in the environment. Human exposure to these tiny plastics have been linked to brain development and reproductive development issues in animal studies.

These aren’t necessarily microplastics. The better, wiser, and more responsible thing to do would have been to push for private citizens and corporations to develop alternatives that works as well, not those horrible paper straws, and annoying metal ones. As a true environmentalist I’m all for reducing plastic pollution. Of course, we still have India, China, and other Southeast Asian countries who are big time polluters to deal with. But the cultists and enviro-weenies, often one and the same, do not care about using science, they’re more about political power.

While it’s not totally clear what material straws, if any, would have replaced plastic in federal use, other types, including paper, may also pose environmental and health concerns. A 2023 study found that compounds known as PFAS, which make materials water resistant but can be toxic, were found in almost all types of straws, including paper and bamboo.

Oops.

What would have been funnier is if Trump had said was 100% against plastic straws and utensils, that the paper and alternatives were big and wonderful and great: the Leftists would have then opposed him and would want plastic back. You cannot tell me I’m wrong.

    Was Mr Gleason groomed by drag queens to become a child molesting monster?

    A conservative writer who has written for publications such as The Federalist and The Daily Wire was arrested on charges of molesting a child under the age of 12.

    Aaron Craig Gleason was booked in Okaloosa County, Florida on Jan 28 and posted bail in the amount of $75,000. The 39-year-old had written a praiseworthy review of Sound Of Freedom, an anti-sex trafficking film that he deemed a “call to action.”

    The Daily Dot reported on Thursday that Gleason has been teaching the Bible at a Rocky Bayou Christian School and has been its soccer coach.

    “I regret to inform you that one of our Middle School teachers was arrested today by local law enforcement officers,” an email from the school to parents read. “The teacher has been on paid administrative leave and off campus for two weeks.”

    In June 2023, Gleason quote-tweeted a video of Pride marchers – some of whom were in drag – and accused them of “grooming” kids. The marchers chanted, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re not going shopping.” During one of the chants, a person off camera says, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

    So is Elon really taking part in a DEI project? I guess it’s OK if he makes a few BILLION out of it!! A woman, a person of color (but not orange) and a African-Canadian-American!!

    When Elon runs across the expenditure in the ‘books’ will he cancel it as waste or fraud??

    In 2021, NASA announced that it had awarded a $2.9 BILLION contract to Musk’s SpaceX to build a spacecraft for long-term human exploration of the moon under its Artemis program.

    “NASA is getting ready to send astronauts to explore more of the Moon as part of the Artemis program,” NASA said in the 2021 press release. “At least one of those astronauts will make history as the first woman on the Moon. Another goal of the Artemis program includes landing the first person of color on the lunar surface.“
