Well The Hand Writing Was On The Wall

 President Donald Trump on Monday announced he had signed four executive orders that will reshape the military, including banning transgender service members from serving in the US armed forces; gutting the military’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs; and reinstating with back pay service members who were discharged for refusing to get vaccinated from Covid-19.

Trump said he signed the executive orders while aboard Air Force One on a return flight to Washington from Florida. CNN previously reported Trump was expected to do so, according to two White House officials.

The orders, which were first reported by the New York Post, come as Trump’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, was sworn in as secretary of defense on Saturday. Hegseth has long stated he planned to implement major cultural changes to the military, including ending DEI practices and removing “woke” service members.

Hours after being sworn in for his second term last week, Trump signed an order revoking the Biden administration’s 2021 move to allow transgender members to serve. However, the order Trump announced he had signed Monday goes even further, one of the officials said, and outlines new military standards regarding gender pronouns and state that mental and physical readiness requires transgender service members be banned from the military.
But that doesn't bother me that much because we knew it was coming what worries me more if Trump is shaping the military to be loyal to him and not the Constitution! In The Bucks County Beacon they write...
The day after the Jan. 6 domestic terrorist attack — a coup attempt supported by then-president Donald Trump and barely thwarted by law enforcement and National Guard forces — military and intelligence officers were alerted to a Guard member who worked as a Fox News host. Pete Hegseth, the Guard member in question, sported a tattoo common among white supremacists. Depicting the Latin words “Deus vult” — “God wills it” — the tattoo image depicted a Christian battle cry from the First Crusade of the Middle Ages, a maxim popular among present-day white supremacist groups, including the Proud Boys and Three Percenters. Few members of the military community, however, hold such extremist views. Concerned, Hegseth’s superiors pulled him back from Guard duty during incoming President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

Perceiving himself as being targeted for his extremist views, Hegseth angrily resigned from the National Guard.
STOP RIGHT THERE... "sported a tattoo common among white supremacists" and he is now the Secretary of Defense... a white supremacist!
“See you on the battlefield,” Hegseth concludes the book. “Together, with God’s help, we will save America. Deus vult!”

Devoted to taking freedom away from many Americans and championing far right, white male, Christian “warriors” as the ideal U.S. military serviceperson, Hegseth caught the attention of Trump, who in November nominated him for Defense Secretary of U.S. military forces. But along with the nomination came scrutiny of Hegseth’s questionable past of sexual assault accusations, acknowledged heavy drinking and allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct as the head of two veterans’ advocacy organizations. In addition, he has less military experience than any person who has previously held the office of Defense Secretary.

Trump’s authoritarian intentions have long been known and are embraced by many far-right extremists perceiving themselves to be Christians. During the past two years, hundreds of neo-Nazi rallies have taken place across the United States. “Almost every week, small white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups have been descending on downtowns, gathering in public parks or rallying on the grounds of state houses and courthouses across the country,” a November New York Times article noted.
Trump staged one Coup and now he is packing the military with white supremacists and Christian Nationalist! January 6 was just a dress rehearsal to work the bugs out... now he is setting the stage for Coup 2.0. Mark my words Trump is going to for a third term he is laying the ground work to stay in power!

  1. Would Hegseth and others be hired to lead a Fortune 500 company? Not a chance in hell. Be prepared for a four year long roller coaster ride of terror.
