Trump Abolishes Democrats’ DEI And Trans-Craze Policies

Trump's second presidency has a strong start. On his first day in office he has issued some 200 executive actions including some 42 executive orders (EO) undoing many of Biden's attempts of socially engineering a new society.

(Unfortunately I have yet to find a complete list of those EOs. Why haven't even the agencies, AP, AFP or Reuters, compiled one?)

I do dislike many of the EOs Trump issued. Leaving the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreements, and thereby de-legitimizing them, is not good for mankind. Further supporting the Zionst entity is a disgrace.

Others I do like. Trump pardoned participants of the Jan 6 (2021) 'riots' which had never amounted to much more than a hustle.

He rescinded many of EOs the Biden administration had issued around its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. Attempts of social engineering against merit deserve to fail.

I am also very happy that Trump has ended the official Trans craze. The wording herein is remarkable:

DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single-sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women’s domestic abuse shelters to women’s workplace showers. This is wrong. Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.

This unhealthy road is paved by an ongoing and purposeful attack against the ordinary and longstanding use and understanding of biological and scientific terms, replacing the immutable biological reality of sex with an internal, fluid, and subjective sense of self unmoored from biological facts. Invalidating the true and biological category of “woman” improperly transforms laws and policies designed to protect sex-based opportunities into laws and policies that undermine them, replacing longstanding, cherished legal rights and values with an identity-based, inchoate social concept.

There are and will be many more Trump policies which (will) deserve to be condemned and criticized.

That should not hinder us to admit that he got some things right.

Oopsie! Apologies for misspelling the German FM’s surname. It should of course be Bareback.

*** Thatcher helped to put climate change, acid rain and general pollution in the British mainstream in the late 1980s, calling for a global treaty on climate change in 1989. Her speeches included one to the Royal Society in 1988, followed by another to the UN General Assembly in 1989.***
Thatcher and the Thatcherites didn’t care a damn about environment. Unless, of course. it could be turned into money-grubbing schemes for themselves and their cronies. Just about everything in the country was regarded as a commodity with a “for sale” price-tag stuck on it.
The ‘climate change’ angle was adopted by her leading spin-doctor to make Thatcher (a former industrial chemist) seem “scientifically” superior compared to the career politicians at the EU with whom she was frequently in dispute; an important elevation of perceived status since she was basically rather a lightweight when it came to politics itself.
Her knowledge of economics was also abysmal — hence the media-pimped drivel about the economics of sovereign countries being identical to that of ordinary households.
Thanks to mass-media promotion, enough of the public were fooled.

Have the spaces of “the fair sex” been invaded by “the fair gender”???
Posted by: Jane | Jan 22 2025 23:47 utc | 57
So is it a “Sex reveal party” or a ” Gender reveal party?” Cuz if my Mom or Granny get an invitation to a “Gender reveal party” it would be cause for celebration. If they got an invitation to a “Sex reveal party” they would rightfully question the sender’s sanity. That is reality. What you are trying to do is change reality. That’s a tough sell. You really think that people should say “Sex reveal party”? And that is somehow helpful? I know, I know, you think the whole idea of gender reveal parties is awful. Well, I think lots of things are awful, but I do not want to go against someone’s idea of fun. That’s their business not mine. And despite your hand wringing the vast majority of people accept their sex as is in a mature manner. Control freaks who dictate to others how they should talk to each other strike me as being weak and immature.

“Control freaks who dictate to others how they should talk to each other strike me as being weak and immature.”
Yes indeed, the pronoun police are among the most noxious and intolerable control freaks ever.
Along with “fact-checkers”, censors of “disinformation” and “hate speech” etc., of course.

The consensus climatologists can’t explain past temperature shifts either.

The palaeoclimatologists can explain the past temperature shifts. And I don’t care about the consensus climatologists.
The reality is that there is zero evidence of any kind of “tipping point” involving CO2 or any other greenhouse gas.
There is all the necessary evidence about the effect of greenhouss gas in the history of our planet.
The more brutal reality is that even should the West achieve zero carbon (which it will not), this would make zero difference to the trajectory of CO2 emissions
Did I write something which disagrees with this point? I am convinced that all the gas, oil and coal which can be extracted will be and will be used. It means that in some future (several hundreds of years, if not thousands), the planet will be in the same conditions as before the Carboniferous period, but with a warmer sun.
That is: without any ice. And a sea level so high that bye bye Florida, Netherlands, Bengladesh and the best part of China, etc. Currently the land mass occupies 29% of the earth surface. During Cretaceous, 18%. A pitty that you and me will be long dead before it will happen.

To replay to some of thèse highly numerous comments:
As many, I’m delighted to see the US departure from WHO and Paris agreements.
WHO has demonstrated its hégémon, population-adverse, nature with the draft pandemics agreement, and has to be rebuilt from scratch and without private interference (no Gâtes, no big Pharma). The Paris agreement and underlying scientific claims are pure hoax, only supported by GIGO projections. Unless I missed a true smoking fun ?
Cuba relisting as terrorist supporting state is a shame, démonstrating again how The US are unable to just tur’ the page and move on.
The support to Israël is not really wholesale: whilst Trump certainly supports Israël, he does not support – in m’y undrstanding – the mega-Israel view characterizing Natanhiau and his other far-right allies.

Best post I have read yet today.
The Cuba ‘terrorism’ relisting is a shame; but, unfortunately, it’s a nod to Florida and Rubio as the ex Cuban vote in Florida is formidable and its a ‘purple state’.

“well i support trans rights.”
Posted by: matt2004 | Jan 23 2025 17:51 utc | 612
I believe most civilized people, ‘support trans rights’ but only when the ‘trans’ person reaches the age of majority.
Otherwise any chemical (puberty blockers which are used on convicted rapists to cease their sexual desires) or physical deformation (cutting off tits et al) before the age of majority is child abuse.
A minor cannot smoke alcohol or smoke cigarettes before the age of majority but maiming themselves and becoming sterile as a child is OK?
Come on!!

I challenge anybody who believes in more than the two genders to describe to me the third genitalia. And don’t say the bum-hole or belly-button. We shouldn’t be having this conversation without adults in the room.

Posted by: Ishmael Forester | Jan 27 2025 19:17 utc | 613

Had we any need to explain the birds and the bees, to conscious adults, before the ideological trannie nonsense? That conversation! Again. Not that I’m opposed to gender-bending per se, like I’m not opposed to golf or monster trucks or whatever. It’s something other people do. But don’t bullshit me. There are two genders.
