Republican Representative Matt Rosendale of Montana expressed concern about drag performers controlling missiles at an Air Force base in his state.

Rosendale was speaking against funding gender reassignment surgeries for military personnel during a U.S. House session on Thursday. A rule was passed during the session for the Fiscal Year 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would allow lawmakers to start looking into 80 amendments to the military spending bill. Those amendments are related to hot-button issues such as abortion and diversity policies in the Pentagon and aid to Ukraine, according to ABC News.

"We have drag shows taking place at Malmstrom Air Force Base. There are 150 ICBM missiles that are being controlled by that Air Force Base and by these individuals. I do not want someone who doesn't know if they are a man or a woman with their hand on a missile button," Rosendale said on Thursday.

From unleashing a fleet of flying cars to executing drug dealers, Donald Trump has not been coy about his unorthodox vision for America as he seeks to retake the White House.

The former president and frontrunning Republican candidate for 2024 -- sometimes accused of lacking a clear political philosophy -- has explained in speeches and a series of "Agenda 47" policy videos how he would govern.

Often thin on detail, the eye-catching pronouncements form the backbone of a platform that Trump says will "make America great and glorious again."

Critics say it spells out why he should never be allowed to return to the Oval Office as the country's 47th president.

- 'The Jetsons' revisited? -

One of Trump's more striking proposals is a competition to design up to 10 state-of-the-art "freedom cities" -- roughly the size of Washington -- on federal land.

- Year-long birthday bash -

Trump has proposed a "Salute to America," honoring the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, with "an entire year of festivities across the nation" from Memorial Day 2025 through July 4, 2026.

"I will work with all 50 governors, Republican and Democrat alike, to create the Great American State Fair, a unique one-year exhibition featuring pavilions from all 50 states," he said. "It'll be something."

[…]

- ...But pardons for rioters -

Trump has promised to issue pardons to "a large portion" of the rioters jailed after the deadly 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

More than 600 of his supporters have been convicted over the worst attack on the seat of US democracy in two centuries -- with some 140 police wounded with flag poles, baseball bats and pepper spray.

[…]

- Culture wars -

Trump has weighed in on most of the so-called "culture war" issues that  polarize Americans, from abortion, transgender rights and gun control to the teaching of America's racist history.

The candidate says he would crack down on doctors providing gender-affirming care to minors and "pink haired communists" pushing critical race theory or "inappropriate" political material in schools.

Trump would also create a new tax credit, he said, to reimburse teachers for concealed carry firearms and training, as the country copes with a torrent of mass shootings.
Now how could anyone compete for the Cuckoo, Cuckoo Award, Trump would win every time!
