News coverage would make most people think that Trump administration officials are doing everything possible to undermine environmental protection and human health. One article even goes so far as to suggest that “Trump EPA appointees want more air pollution,” which is just a ridiculous political attack. It seems that the greens and the left-of-center press have never seen a regulation they didn’t like, because it grants the government more power, plain and simple. And anyone who disagrees with their approach is dubbed a “polluter.” In reality, ongoing Environmental Protection Agency reforms offer the potential to improve public policy and help curb regulatory excesses, which is a good thing for consumers and businesses. After all, shouldn’t regulations actually produce benefits rather than simply impose needless costs to society?

At 10 years old, Henri-Jean Renaud watched U.S. paratroopers landing through the window of his Normandy home in the early hours of D-Day. Like other French who lived through the war, he’s trying to pass on to younger generations the gratitude he feels. With fewer veterans and witnesses able to share personal memories, the French who owe their freedom to D-Day’s fighters are more determined than ever to keep alive the memory of the battle and its significance. President Donald Trump and other world leaders will gather next week in Normandy to mark the 75th anniversary of the invasion, which still looms large throughout this region. Normandy beaches, cemeteries and World War II memorials embody what French President Macron called “our entire nation’s infinite gratitude.”

At its first session in February, the Synod of Bishops of the schismatic-nationalist “Orthodox Church of Ukraine” (OCU) gave control of the Kiev Diocese to the “Honorary Patriarch” Philaret Denisenko, the head of the “Kiev Patriarchate” (KP), which formerly joined the OCU at the “unification council” on December 15. Since then, as OrthoChristian has reported, Philaret has repeatedly insisted that the KP still exists, despite his promise to liquidate it just before the aforementioned “council.” Though he has served as the ideological leader and center of the Ukrainian autocephaly movement for 30 years, Philaret has found little vocal support for his continued desire to rule as patriarch as of late. He lamented that the most recent session of the Synod of Bishops was aimed entirely at destroying his KP jurisdiction, which the Ministry of Justice confirmed does still legally exist in Ukraine. The Synod of Bishops of the Patriarchate of Constantinople unilaterally lifted the anathema against Philaret in October, claiming he had been unjustly sanctioned by the Russian Church for his desire for Ukrainian autocephaly rather than for his schismatic activities, driven by his desire for power. Now, Philaret has gone on the offensive, taking control of churches and monasteries and suspending clergy who are not loyal to his dream of continuing the KP, and the Orthodox world is seeing what he is doing.
