Back to common sense. Trump Signs New Pair Of Executive Orders Limiting Taxpayer-Funded Abortions Both At Home And Abroad by John Oyewale President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden’s orders expanding abortion access and ordered that the federal government and U.S. taxpayers no longer fund abortions at home and abroad Friday. Trump signed an executive order enforcing “the Hyde Amendment and similar laws that prevent Federal funding of elective abortion, reflecting a longstanding consensus that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for that practice.” By that order, Trump revoked two Biden-era orders protecting expanding access to abortion, accusing the previous administration of disregarding “this established, commonsense policy by embedding forced taxpayer funding of elective abortions in a wide variety of Federal programs.” “It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion,” according to Trump’s executive order. Trump signed another executive order revoking Biden’s Presidential Memorandum of 2021 that supported funding abortions abroad, and reinstating the Mexico City Policy — a Reagan-era rule that forbids foreign non-governmental organizations from funding abortions as a condition to receiving U.S. global health aid. Trump had reinstated it in his first term but Biden rescinded Trump’s reinstatement of it. https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/25/donald-trump-executive-orders-hyde-amendment-mexico-city-policy-abortion/

LOL

Got buried in all the Roundy back and forth. I will repost for the board's adults.

The farther that we get away from his time in office, the worse that his presidency will be viewed. He had every chance to help the country and chose to divide us instead. I don't know if there will be an official divorce, but they certainly will live separately from now on. .

TRUMP EFFECT.

For those too lazy to open. .

THE AIR FORCE SEEMS TO HAVE DECIDED TO USE MALICIOUS COMPLIANCE TO FIGHT TRUMP’S DEI ORDER: This is not new behavior by the military services. Everyone thinks Harry S. Truman desegregated the Armed Forces in 1948. He didn’t. The Army responded to desegregating infantry regiments by putting Black soldiers and officers in the regiment’s third battalions. Black officers assigned below the Mason-Dixon Line found they could not use the Officer’s Club and other off-duty facilities. It took a retired five-star general getting elected president to end this whack-a-mole. He knew the institutions of the military and how they were resisting Truman’s executive order. Integration was not achieved until 1953. This tactic is commonly known as “malicious obedience.” You’re told to do something, and you do it in a way that will cause the most disruption to business processes and create maximum embarrassment for whoever directed it, all the while claiming you were loyally following orders. Unless the parties involved in this stunt were totally brain-dead and oblivious to the political climate, there is no possible reason to pull those videos and then ensure the word gets out. Fortunately, there is an easy solution to this: You need to fire people. The only reason this happened was that people were trying to sabotage Trump’s DEI order or were too stupid to realize the stink their actions would raise. In either scenario, you don’t need people like that working for you. The result helps the resisters get their minds right and teaches the remaining idiots to be more careful. https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/01/26/the-air-force-seems-to-have-decided-to-use-malicious-compliance-to-fight-trumps-dei-order-n2184822 Admiral Byng to the white courtesy phone, please.

TRUTH. . . . . . . . . and the lemmings here will swallow the spin.

What was the name of the US official who said this? What specific document did the US official site that ordered the lesson plan about the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Air Force Service pilots to be removed from the US Air Force curriculum? What specific USAF curriculum was this, including the school and the course? Did you see this document? Can you show us this document? If not, why not? In your opinion, journalist, does a reasonable reading of this alleged document – if you have, in fact, seen it, and are not merely taking the hearsay of an grieved government official as fact – set forth an order to do this act? If you cannot give me a specific answer to all of these questions, why did you run this story? Further: Do you feel good about yourself being manipulated like this? Were you manipulated, or were you complicit in this propaganda? We played this game in Trump 1.0. We’re not playing it again.

Back to the Trump thread. (Your Sunday Clarice) A Breathtaking First Week American Thinker, by Clarice Feldman In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do. The scope and speed of his actions are nothing short of breathtaking: Pardoning and commuting over 1000 January 6th prisoners, issuing a slew of executive orders (go to Whitehouse.gov for the current listing), personnel shakeups, and demonstrating real leadership in North Carolina and California to help the victims of flood and fire, ill served by state and federal officials. The domestic performance is matched by his steps on international matters. {snip} In the meantime, deportations continue. By Saturday morning six planeloads of illegals were filled and landed in Mexico and Guatemala, and local law enforcement agencies were authorized to assist in the cleanup. The roads to Mexico were jammed with cars full of self-deporting illegals. As predicted, the President’s order respecting termination of birthright citizenship has been enjoined by a district court judge, but I think the arguments in support of his reading of the Constitution and law will ultimately prevail. I haven’t a clue about what the President will do next week. Even less do I understand how he can maintain this high energy for so long. I’m exhausted just watching him in action. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/01/a_breathtaking_first_week.html
