Why Trump?s ?Gold Standard? Executive Order is Essential to Restoring Truth in Science Fri Jun 20, 2025 11:00 | Tilak Doshi
Trump's executive order on 'Restoring Gold Standard Science' is overdue, says Dr Tilak Doshi. For too long in climate, medicine and other areas, captured regulators have put vested interests above the public interest.

Gardaí asleep, take their time to arrive.
Sgt James Gill is ignored amid the Shell to Sea chants.
Inspector Martin Byrne gets an education.
Picket voluntarily stands down at 9am and workers leave and enter.
Come and lend a hand. Warm welcome at the camp.
Yesterday, with work in Broadhaven Bay still delayed, a small Shell to Sea marine team paid a visit to the current Shell water nerve-centre based at Ballyglass pier. Currently moored off Ballyglass is a barge containing winching cable, the recently returned Vlaanderen VII which ran aground at Glengad two weeks ago and also the Zenne which is the backhoe dredger that last Friday dropped tonnes of debris within feet of protestors. Also around the area were a number of other smaller Shell boats.
The Shell to Sea paddlers were made up of members of the Shamrock squadron (the J. Connolly, J. Larkin, M. Collins) & Emerald squadron (the Grainne) along with 2 members of the international flotilla (the Guy Fawkes of Yorkshire squadron and the Robin Hood of Nottingham squadron).
The paddlers had made their way about the 1km out to the boats before the Shell safety and security boats reacted.
After about an hour paddling around the area the Shell to Sea team headed into Ballyglass Pier to greet the Garda boat which was just launching from the RNLI slipway. The gardaí politely refused the request of a race from the J. Connolly (Shamrock squadron) after which the team then made their way to the public slipway where they were met by shore support.
Meanwhile marine training continued for the activists preparing for the Solitaire and associated boats.
.
And by the look of the weather forecast the solitare rust bucket won't be going anywhere anytime soon!!
Latest update is that the Irish Navy have put a ship in Broadhaven bay. The winch required to pull the pipe onto land has arrived and the Solitaire itself will be in mayo Tomorrow.
Great pics fair play to you all.
