Just in case The Heritage Foundation decides to take it down. The link was being shared around on Threads so I thought I’d pay it forward.
If Trump gets back into office, The Heritage Foundation will advise him on how to tear everything keeping us safe down.

$3000 more income per year
$3000 more income per year
Regulation under the Last Six Presidents
That last figure represents reduced regulatory costs of $23 BILLION by eliminated hundreds of burdensome regulations.
This represents a fundamental change in the direction of the administrative state after decades of unchecked growth.
For contrast, the Obama administration imposed more than $245 billion in regulatory costs on American businesses…

The sins of my life were not deemed sins as those acts that had been carried out, did not in any manner, lack authority. The moment of realization came when the letter sprawled out upon the earth's floor, as I know this was destined from when I ran barefoot in fresh fields and the whirling of helicopters were my only solace. #path #oregon #washington #idaho #zeigiest #forestphotography #autumn #message #missives #recollections #Covid1984 #falsememories #cult #aramaic #jungian #destruction #anarchy #covert #violence #detained #administrativestate #thoughtcrime #apocalypse #orwellian #solzhenitsyn #violence #gulagarchipelago #contacttracing #edicts #inheritorsoftheearth https://www.instagram.com/p/CG4LNYNAqLD/?igshid=1idyjhybh6xic

3 New Lawsuits Challenge the FDA’s Deeming Rule
Three new lawsuits — filed simultaneously Tuesday in three separate federal court jurisdictions — are challenging the FDA’s Deeming Rule. The legal actions were filed on behalf of several small vaping businesses by attorneys from the Pacific Legal Foundation.
The Deeming Rule (also known as the deeming regulations) took effect on Aug. 8, 2016. The rule allows the FDA to regulate e-cigarettes and vapes as tobacco products, and forces manufacturers to go through a brutally expensive and burdensome process to keep products on the market that weren’t sold before Feb. 15, 2007.
No products currently being sold were available before that date. That means that every single vaping product — including every e-liquid — currently on the market would have to go through the FDA’s Premarket Tobacco Application (PMTA) process in order to be available for sale after Aug. 8, 2022. (That date was changed last year by the FDA. Originally the date was set to be Aug. 8, 2018.)
We’ve filed three lawsuits against the FDA for throttling speech and engaging in unconstitutional rule-making. @PacificLegal #AdministrativeState https://t.co/9sI2d2IbRP

The new lawsuits challenge the FDA on two fronts. First, the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) lawyers assert that regulations like the Deeming Rule that carry the force of law must be signed by federal employees who have been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Deeming Rule was signed by a career civil servant, Associate Commissioner Leslie Kux.
“These regulations don’t just harm small businesses and consumers, they undermine constitutional safeguards for individual liberty,” PLF attorney Thomas Berry said in a press release. “Rules that affect the American people must be issued by officials who are answerable to the political process, not by bureaucrats who have no political accountability.”
The lawsuits also challenge the rule on freedom of speech grounds, claiming that businesses are restrained from truthfully explaining the benefits of vaping to customers.
“The vaping edict flouts the First Amendment by forcing businesses to run a daunting regulatory gauntlet in order to advertise truthful information,” says the PLF website. “The government can’t require pre-approval for truthful speech, and it especially can’t shift the burden of proof to the speaker to prove the benefits of his speech will outweigh any harms the government perceives may result.”

There are other legal challenges to the Deeming Rule still pending in several federal courts. The most well known is the Nicopure Labs lawsuit (which was combined with the suit by the Right to be Smoke-Free Coalition and several other industry associations), which was denied by U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson last July 21.
The vaping plaintiffs filed an appeal in that case, and Nicopure and its allies expect a result this year. The PLF lawsuits — and possible appeals — could stretch out for years. Meanwhile, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb promised standards-based regulations last year, just a week after the Nicopure decision was handed down.
One of the PLF lawsuits was filed in the same court as the Nicopure case, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The others will be heard in federal district courts in Minnesota and Texas. There may be a legal strategy to forcing the FDA to defend its unpopular rule in multiple courts, but that’s not clear..
The FDA’s cold display of power in “regulating” the small, independent vaping industry certainly checks all of PLF’s boxes.
So who is the Pacific Legal Foundation, and why does it care about vaping? According to its website, the PLF is “ a group of individuals united in our belief that personal liberty is essential to a thriving and prosperous society.” http://ift.tt/2EqSQ1w
The foundation is a right-libertarian public interest law group that fights what it sees as government overreach. Formed in 1973 by associates of Ronald Reagan, it is the oldest conservative legal group of its type. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The PLF has a history of defending private property rights, and challenging environmental regulations that affect property owners. It has also fought affirmative action laws that give preference to hiring based on race or sex.
“Governments at all levels undermine liberty by passing laws that interfere with people’s right to freely associate and express themselves, acquire and use property, or earn an honest living,” says the website. “It is daunting for the average person to defend those rights against the government, with its power and access to substantial resources. That’s where we step in.”
The FDA’s cold display of power in “regulating” the small, independent vaping industry certainly checks all of PLF’s boxes. And just about all vapers agree that the agency’s Deeming Rule should go away, whether they’re on the political right, left, or center.

Culture of Denial
To address a problem requires the admission of a problem. That’s an AA maxim that has broad application in the world. Rick, my cousin who is a doctor, says you can’t really treat an illness until you’ve diagnosed it. A second AA maxim is that if you keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results, you’re making yourself crazy. Starting about 100 years ago – a…

A Reverse Legacy
Every president since Jimmy Carter has promised to cut regulation. Carter lied and so did the others. Even President Obama’s early executive orders promising to cut red tape and improve the flow of the regulatory process sounded impressive until six of the seven all-time-high years for federal regulation occurred during his tenure. Obama lied too. We’ve experienced four decades of nonstop growth…

Obama Spying on Trump? Um, of course Trump Tower was wiretapped by the Obama administration. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we all know that we've all been wiretapped.
