Yeah, What Else Is New?

He’s a Republican so they are trying to force us back in the closet and he’s is the head bozo.

Donald Trump pledges to defund schools teaching critical race theory and ‘transgender insanity’

At a rally in Sioux City in Iowa, Donald Trump – who has previously promised to reinstate his cruel trans military ban if elected – claimed he would clamp down on race and LGBTQ+ education in schools.

“I will also sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children,” he said on stage.

The former president has previously spoken about his opposition to teaching about race in schools, calling race education “toxic propaganda” in a previous speech.

“They were teaching people to hate our country, and I’m not going to allow that to happen,” he said about anti-bias training that taught federal employees about issues like white privilege.

Notice how he blames us for demanding our rights!

Donald Trump has ramped up discussion on trans issues and anti-trans policy pledges since his bid to be re-elected in 2024, with the former president claiming that Republican voters care more about restricting trans rights than cutting taxes.

And the Republican party is in lock-step with him.

GOP reps slam new Merchant Marine Academy transgender policy: ‘Far-left’s social experiments’

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) wants answers from the Merchant Marine Academy after the Long Island institution implemented a new policy allowing midshipmen undergoing gender transitions to seek exemptions from their military service requirement.

The policy, effective Oct. 13, is meant to set up procedures for the admission and education of transgender students and those “transitioning while enrolled at the academy so as to remove barriers for those with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria or who identify as transgender.”

Banks, who chairs the House Anti-Woke Caucus, led a congressional letter to the academy on Friday raising concerns.

“Our service academies are critical institutions for the security of our nation, not laboratories for the far-left’s social experiments,” he exclusively told The Post. “Forcing radical gender ideology on the young men and women who want to serve their country is dangerous and wrong.”

“House Anti-Woke Caucus” Wait! What? They have a caucus supporting bigotry and discrimiantion? Figures.

The policy was developed in response to President Biden’s 2021 executive order requiring all federal agencies “to ensure compliance with the stated policy of preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation,” according to the document.

The Democrats giveth and the Republicans taketh away.

My dilemma… I wish… I wish, that there wasn’t so much violence and hate in today’s environment. Every time you look at the news there has been a mass shooting, an anti-LGBTQ demonstration for a drag event.

Both sides living in an “Echo Chamber,” I am part of it with my blog. I know that and I admit it.

Is our Echo Chamber any different from theirs?

I think you just have to look at Lewiston Maine to answer that question. Their Echo Chamber causes violence. Our Echo Chamber is defensive, reporting on the violence done to us.

Still I feel that I have to report on all the stuff that is being done to us. The legislation, the threats, the protests with armed protesters, the lies, and the rhetoric against us. But to remain silent is even harder.

I leave you this morning with something you heard thousands of times.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
