What say you Madam Governor? University of Maine Agrees to Ban Men from Women’s Sports to Keep Federal Funding and Comply with Trump’s Order.

President Trump is surrounded by little girls as he signs his Women in Sports executive order in the Trump White House.

What say you Madam Governor? University of Maine Agrees to Ban Men from Women’s Sports to Keep Federal Funding and Comply with Trump’s Order.

Remember when the governor claimed she would see Trump in court over men playing in women’s sports? Well the University of Maine sided with the federal government.

“After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order,” the department’s press release said.

Why eliminating DOE is the right move.

Why eliminating DOE is the right move.

The first move of cutting the staff in half eliminates many patron jobs. Second move to eliminate the red tape removes more folks. Now you have all that money that goes directly to the states.

In fiscal year 2024 alone, the net cost to operate the department was more than $218 billion, according to an analysis from the Pew Research Center. Net outlays, a similar metric that incorporates certain accounting adjustments, totaled $267.9 billion that same year.

That’s 267.9 billion that would go to the states.

Yes Virginia, DEI is racism. Shut down those schools who practice it.

45 schools maybe practicing racism, so the DOE is going to investigate. I say take it a step further. Investigate all schools college high school, and grade schools for DEI practice.

Asians and whites are those most effected. Isn’t it strange that the two races that score the highest are the ones most discriminated against?

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement:

The Department is working to reorient civil rights enforcement to ensure all students are protected from illegal discrimination. The agency has already launched Title VI investigations into institutions where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported and Title IX investigations into entities which allegedly continue to allow sex discrimination; today’s announcement expands our efforts to ensure universities are not discriminating against their students based on race and race stereotypes.”

“Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin. We will not yield on this commitment,” she added.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

President Trump hits a home run.

After last night, who wouldn’t be proud to have Trump as their President?

Last night the whole world heard our President and what he would do to fix all the issues that the past administration created. Yes their were disruptions from the losers on the left, and yes our President took note and called out the disrupters.

Below are a few highlights from last night. If you missed last night, you missed the master at work.

Some of the appalling waste we have already identified.”

-$22 billion for housing & cars for illegal aliens
-$45 million for DEI scholarships in Burma
-$40 million for inclusion of sedentary migrants
-$8 million to promote LGBTQ+ in Lesotho
-$60 million for Afro-Colombian empowerment
-$8 million for making mice transgender
-$32 million for left-wing propaganda in Moldova
-$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique
-$20 million for Arab Sesame Street
-$1.9 billion for Stacey Abrams & decarbonization
-$3.5 million for lavish fish monitoring
-$1.5 million for voter confidence in Liberia

“We have ended weaponized government where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me.”

“How did that work out?”

What a great idea. US Launches ‘End DEI’ Portal for Public Complaints About Diversity in Schools.

What a great idea. US Launches ‘End DEI’ Portal for Public Complaints About Diversity in Schools.

Why didn’t I think of this?

“The U.S. Department of Education launched EndDEI.Ed.Gov, a public portal for parents, students, teachers, and the broader community to submit reports of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools,” the department said.

“The secure portal allows parents to provide an email address, the name of the student’s school or school district, and details of the concerning practices. The Department of Education will use submissions as a guide to identify potential areas for investigation.”

Winning.

You want to know what President Trump has been up to the past  week?

The White House Press Corps received a reality check to wrap up this week’s news.

Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese posted to social media platform X Friday a 3-page document that was handed out that day listing all of President Donald Trump‘s accomplishments for the week.

If Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and her team always plan to bring their A-game, unlike her predecessor and apparent diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre, the press needs a report like this every week.

Let’s look at DOGE. And who started firing employees. Clinton, Gore, Obama.

They started it. Left to right: Former US Vice President Al Gore and former US President William Jefferson Clinton arrive on Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland for the National Prayer and Reconciliation Service at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.

Let’s look at DOGE. And who started firing employees. Clinton, Gore, Obama.

Remember that Trump didn’t start the cutting out of deadwood employees and government waste. Also DOGE was already in place.

Let’s look at what happened under Clinton/Gore.

  • Reduced the size of federal civilian workforce by 426,200 positions between January 1993 and September 2000.1   Thirteen of 14 departments reduced in size. Closed nearly 2,000 obsolete field offices and eliminated 250 programs.
  • Cut government by eliminating what wasn’t needed bloated headquarters, layers of managers, outdated field offices, obsolete red tape and rules. For example, cut 78,000 managers governmentwide.
  • And who created DOGE?
  • Trump didn’t create a new Cabinet-level department with DOGE, but rather renamed the previously existing United States Digital Service, which was created under former President Barack Obama.That office launched in 2014 to improve the federal government’s digital capabilities following the rocky rollout of the HealthCare.gov website.

Why Conservatives and the majority of Americans are on the 80% of all issues.

Government working with a hate group.

Why Conservatives and the majority of Americans are on the 80% of all issues.

This morning I heard the perfect breakdown of what’s called 80 20. Take all the issues of today and what’s President Trump is doing is supported by the 80.

Democrat politicians supporting Illegals, Transgender, Wasteful Spending, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and finally old men and women being guided by the 20 and 30 something crowd.

The 2024 elections gave President Trump a mandate. He was open about what he was going to do and he was also open about Musk. The President said a sledge hammer would be used to fix things. Promises made, Promises kept.

How we get around the 60 vote. Reconciliation.

December 11, 2024 Anne Dwyer, Kelly Whitener

How we get around the 60 vote. Reconciliation.

Just as they have done in the past, the Democrats in the Senate are already claiming that they will derail the Trump train. Many bills take a 60 vote to pass. How to respond?

Reconciliation. Reconciliation allows some tax and spending bills to pass with a simple majority vote. Republicans plan to use this process to increase spending on border security and cut taxes, and are currently deciding whether to handle them separately or roll them into one gigantic package.
