Today, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), in consultation with the National Energy Dominance Council and relevant permitting agencies, issued a Permitting Technology Action Plan to modernize Federal environmental review and permitting processes for infrastructure projects involving roads, bridges, mines, factories, power plants and more.
The Permitting Technology Action Plan provides a government-wide strategy to optimize technology to effectively and efficiently evaluate environmental permits, allowing for seamless information exchange between agencies, simplified interactions for applicants, and greater transparency and predictability on environmental review and permitting schedules for sponsors and stakeholders. The Permitting Technology Action Plan contains:
Minimum functional requirements for environmental review and permitting systems;
An initial National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and permitting data and technology standard;
A timeline and implementation roadmap for agencies; and
A governance structure for implementation.
This Permitting Technology Action Plan is a testament to the Trump Administrations commitment to expediting and simplifying the environmental review and permitting process. It delivers on President Trumps Memorandum, Updating Permitting Technology for the 21st Century, and follows the establishment of the Permitting Innovation Center. Working with the General Services Administrations Technology Transformation Services, the CEQ-led Permitting Innovation Center will design and test prototype permitting technology systems in order to advise Federal agencies on the adoption of the best-in-class-tools.
The Trump Administration is working tirelessly to implement innovation-driven environmental review and permitting reforms to eliminate needless delays that cripple the growth of the U.S. economy, replacing outdated technology with efficient, speedier solutions, said Katherine Scarlett, Chief of Staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Through interagency coordination, this Administration has taken bold action to streamline the NEPA process and get America back to building infrastructure projects of all kinds.
Under President Trumps leadership, we will ensure the Federal government is maximizing modern technologies to streamline permitting, said Thomas Shedd, Technology Transformation Services Director at the General Services Administration. Technology Transformation Services remains committed to supporting the execution of the Permitting Technology Action Plan by building the tools agencies can use to accelerate their environmental review and permitting processes with results in weeks or months, not years.
The solutions laid out in the Permitting Technology Action Plan will leverage technology to tackle longstanding problems identified in CEQs E-NEPA Report to Congressincluding, reliance on outdated systems, fragmented data management, and disconnected digital toolsreinforcing this Administrations unwavering dedication to deliver outstanding results at 21st century speeds.
Is this the beginning of a "whole of government" database? Will SSI, DMV, Census Records, Death Records, Vaccination Records, and all the other records the government keeps on individuals be rolled into one huge database? Remember in President Trump's first term, when Census data was to be collected, the previous administration removed the citizenship question from the Census and President Trump tried to have it put back but the Census department told him it was too late to make any changes? Remember when the Census was released and we all noticed the sanctuary states seemed to have "earned" more positions in the house because of their population growth? Remember all those people on the voting rolls that are also on the death rolls? And people voting in multiple states at the same time? On the one hand, having a "whole of government" database would stop a lot of these things. On the other hand, I don't want all my info available to the "whole of government"!
This is a GREAT four-month start to any year, exclaimed CNBCs Rick Santelli as brand new economic indicators show inflation is down, incomes are up, and the trade deficit is narrowing shattering economists expectations once again.
INFLATION IS DOWN: Inflation rate slipped to 2.1% in April, lower than expected, Feds preferred gauge shows, CNBC reports.
INCOME IS UP: Personal income increased 0.8% in April almost TRIPLE the expectations. Theyre powerful numbers up 0.6% in January, up 0.7% in February, up 0.5% last month, up 0.8% this month. This is a GREAT four-month start to any year.
CNBC: The income numbers, really, for the first four months of year theyre stellar Why dont we give credit where credit is due? Income really shooting up.
CNBC: We cut it in HALF!? This really does underscore how the movement of goods and services has really changed due to a variety of tariff-related issues.
You know when a MSM adherent like CNBC is reporting good news about the economy, things must be really good in the economy. Much better than what they are reporting. However, I still don't see it in my gas prices. If anything, the gas prices in my state are increasing. I am, however, seeing lowered prices at the grocery store.
Support continues to grow for President Donald J. Trumps One, Big, Beautiful Bill a generational opportunity to secure historic tax cuts, deficit reduction, border security, and more.
The National Fraternal Order of Police the nations largest organization of law enforcement announced their support, highlighting the bills strong pro-labor provisions: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is more than legislationit is a promise kept to the public safety officers across the country and a bold step toward an economy that respects, rewards, and uplifts the people who keep it safe We appreciate that President Trump is always fighting for our nations law enforcement officers.
President Donald J. Trumps One, Big, Beautiful Bill is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to cut spending, fuel growth, and level the fiscal footing of the American economy.
The Big Beautiful Bill is NOT an annual budget bill and does not fund the departments of government. It does not finance our agencies or federal programs. Instead, it includes the single largest welfare reform in American history. Along with the largest tax cut and reform in American history. The most aggressive energy exploration in American history. And the strongest border bill in American history. All while reducing the deficit.
The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform. A remarkable achievement. Ive also seen claims the bill increases the deficit. This lie is based on a CBO accounting gimmick. Income tax rates from the 2017 tax cut are set to expire in September. They were always planned to be permanent. CBO says maintaining *current* rates adds to the deficit, but by definition leaving these income tax rates unchanged cannot add one penny to the deficit. The bills spending cuts REDUCE the deficit against the current law baseline, which is the only correct baseline to use.
In making its projections, the CBO [Congressional Budget Office] has refused to account for or score as they say in CBO lingo any of the new revenues from the Trump reciprocal tariffs.
Remember here a key goal of Trumps fair-trade policies is to shift the U.S. tax base from one primarily reliant on income taxes to one that, with the vision of the new External Revenue Service, is also supported by tariff revenues. Consider, then, the impacts on the CBOs projected revenue shortfall of just the modest 10 percent global baseline tariff Trump recently put into effect.
Such a tariff, depending on consumer responses (as measured by demand elasticities) and enforcement efficacy (i.e., how much cheating occurs), should generate between $2.3 trillion and $3.3 trillion in additional revenue over the ten-year forecast period. When this revenue is layered onto the enhanced dynamic growth scenario, the projected budget impact from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ranges from a modest $300 billion increase in the debt under the 2.2 percent growth assumption to as much as a $2 trillion surplus under the 2.7 percent growth assumption.
AOC, Democrat Party leader, calls for abolishing ICE. Meanwhile, the brave men and women of ICE get dangerous criminal illegal immigrants off our streets and protect American citizens. Why does AOC want to stop that? White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson
While President Donald J. Trump, his administration, and the heroes of ICE work overtime to rid our country of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers, top Democrats are doubling down on their call to eliminate the agency responsible for getting these animals off our streets.
I believe that ICE, an agency that was just formed in 2003 during the Patriot Act era, is a rogue agency that should not exist, says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the leader of the Democrat Party.
Where is the congresswomans concern for her fellow New Yorkers who have been brutally killed, maimed, and raped by criminal illegal immigrants allowed to roam free due to New Yorks so-called sanctuary policies?
Here is a tiny sample of the criminal illegals arrested by ICE in New York recently:
Julian Lema Bravo, an Ecuadorian national with a conviction for rape of a victim less than 15-years-old.
Luis Alejandro Castillo-Torres, a Venezuelan national and Tren de Aragua gang member with a conviction for felony assault and arrests for multiple counts of assault, robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Kervin Broderick Davis, a Jamaican national and registered sex offender with a conviction for first-degree sexual assault.
Tanya Campbell, a Jamaican national with a conviction for first-degree manslaughter.
Sayanam Ghimire, a Nepali national with a conviction for first-degree attempted sex abuse of a victim under 13.
Litzy Janel Saavedra, a Mexican national with a conviction for felony rape.
Surjit Singh, an Indian national with a conviction for third-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury. He was ordered removed by a judge in 2007.
Jonathan Cortez Vasquez, a Salvadoran national with convictions for criminal contempt, acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17-years-old, and attempted possession of a forged instrument.
Roxana Ofelia Pinto-Quijada, a Venezuelan national with a conviction for grand theft.
In this article, the White House has declared AOC to be the "Democrat Party leader." It's been 4 days since this article was published. Why hasn't there been any backlash from the Democrat Party about who is in charge?
I really liked the Judge Janine show on FOX. When FOX cancelled her weekly show, Judge Janine moved to FOX's late afternoon/early evening show "The Five." I can say I was not a fan of that move. Now President Trump has tasked Judge Janine to be the Interim US Attorney for DC. I look forward to her no-nonsense approach to the implementation of law.
Those are some of the exact words used by Googles censors, aka 'Orwelliancontent police,' in describing many of our controversial stories.Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
