Boundaries. Wiles, is doing her job. According to the British edition, Wiles made it clear that she does not welcome people who want to work independently or act like stars. Despite this, Musk, appointed head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), had previously sought an office close to the Oval Office. Despite this, the senior leadership team of the department will be based in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, located on the White House grounds but a few minutes’ walk from the main complex, writes The Times. Additionally, when asked earlier this week by reporters whether Musk would get an office in the West Wing, Trump responded negatively. "No. He's getting an office for about 20 people that we're hiring to make sure that these [savings] get implemented," said the new US president. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trumps-administration-denies-musk-office-in-center-of-white-house-the-times-reveals-reason/ar-AA1xPk7w

Music to my ears. I know I'm mopping the floor with you...........that's why you're now resorting to name-calling. 😁 Oh, we missed a spot Black Dog - here, let me dip you in more Pine Sol and drag you over here. PRIORITIZING SERVICEMEMBER INTEGRITY, LETHALITY, AND HEALTH: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Department of Defense to update its guidance regarding trans-identifying medical standards for military service and to rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness. The Executive Order will require the Secretary of Defense to do the following: Update all Department of Defense medical standards to ensure they prioritize readiness and lethality. Take action to end the use of invented and identification-based pronouns in the Department of Defense. The Executive Order also prohibits males from using or sharing sleeping, changing, or bathing in facilities designated for females. The provisions in the Executive Order also apply to the Coast Guard. The Executive Order revokes Biden Administration Executive Order 14004 and all policies, directives, and guidance pursuant to that order. Executive Order 14004 called for accommodating “gender identity” in the military—to the detriment of military readiness and unit cohesion. RESTORING SANITY IN OUR MILITARY: During the Biden Administration, the Department of Defense allowed gender insanity to pervade our military organizations, family, and culture. This included not only permitting the military to increase the number of individuals not physically or mentally prepared to serve, but also ordering the Department of Defense to pay for servicemembers’ transition surgeries, as well as those of their dependent children—at a cost of millions of dollars to the American taxpayer. more..... https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/01/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-ensures-military-excellence-and-readiness/

Promises given, promises kept. DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United States Code, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose. 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. The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself. 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. Accordingly, my Administration will defend women’s rights and protect freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male. Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy: (a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.” (b) “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively. (c) “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively. (d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell. (e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell. (f) “Gender ideology” replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa, and requiring all institutions of society to regard this false claim as true. Gender ideology includes the idea that there is a vast spectrum of genders that are disconnected from one’s sex. Gender ideology is internally inconsistent, in that it diminishes sex as an identifiable or useful category but nevertheless maintains that it is possible for a person to be born in the wrong sexed body. (g) “Gender identity” reflects a fully internal and subjective sense of self, disconnected from biological reality and sex and existing on an infinite continuum, that does not provide a meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a DM clip of Pierre Poilievre humiliating a CTV News host by turning his question about Donald Trump’s executive order on two genders back on him.

You have not followed the news, obviously. The water reservoir that's meant to help combat fires, was empty! I don't debate ignorant opinions. It's a waste of my time. have a nice day.

It's about the new policy on DEI. What's the executive order about? You don't know? Trump revokes order allowing transgender troops to serve in military The rule, implemented through an executive order in 2021, required the Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Coast Guard, to remove gender identity as a bar to service. At the time, Biden’s order reversed a ban on transgender service members that Trump ordered in 2017 during his first term. https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2025/01/21/trump-revokes-order-allowing-transgender-troops-to-serve-in-military/ Read your source. Keyword: REVIEW. The Air Force has pulled and is reviewing a basic military training course that includes videos on the history of pioneering Black and female pilots during World War II, following President Donald Trump’s order to halt diversity, equity and inclusion programs. An Air Force official told Air Force Times the videos themselves were not targeted for removal, but BMT classes that include diversity materials were pulled and are now under review to make sure they are in compliance with this week’s executive orders. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2025/01/25/air-force-pulls-class-with-tuskegee-airmen-video-after-dei-order/ So the videos include history of the pioneering Black and female pilots. What about it? They want to make sure the videos go along with the new policy. That's all there is to it. But of course, you latched on to the words "black" and "female." You're trying to take it out of context. You're suggesting black people wont be allowed to serve anymore? You kidding? 😁

The way I see it, many Californians had put the fire disaster blame squarely on the inept, gross negligence of Newsome government. Newsome had been a lunatic in his decisions. How can there be no water......when they already know the dangers of wildfires in California? How can any governor be that stupid? Thus, it seems like it's been ......deliberate! The evidence speaks for itself. How many Californians will want to stay in California? How many Californians will want to rebuild California.........under the Democrats? Fact: California also suffers from the surge of illegal migrants. Not all Californians are against Trump. What real Californians would go into a civil war........for illegal migrants? The ones who'd instigate a civil war, would be socialists/communists.......who's been aiming to weaken the USA all along.

The rescinded 78 executive orders of Joe Biden: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Purpose and Policy. The previous administration has embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal Government. The injection of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) into our institutions has corrupted them by replacing hard work, merit, and equality with a divisive and dangerous preferential hierarchy. Orders to open the borders have endangered the American people and dissolved Federal, State, and local resources that should be used to benefit the American people. Climate extremism has exploded inflation and overburdened businesses with regulation. To commence the policies that will make our Nation united, fair, safe, and prosperous again, it is the policy of the United States to restore common sense to the Federal Government and unleash the potential of the American citizen. The revocations within this order will be the first of many steps the United States Federal Government will take to repair our institutions and our economy. Sec. 2. Revocation of Orders and Actions. The following executive actions are hereby revoked: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/

Trump signed a number of other executive actions at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., where he addressed supporters in the late afternoon. The actions he signed included: The rescission of 78 Biden-era executive orders, actions and memoranda. A regulatory freeze preventing bureaucrats from issuing any more regulations until "we have full control" of the government. A freeze on all federal hiring except in the military and a number of other excluded categories. A requirement that federal workers return to full-time, in-person work. Directing agencies to address Americans' cost-of-living "crisis." Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and informing the United Nations of the U.S.'s withdrawal from the landmark climate treaty. A directive to the federal government "ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and preventing government censorship of free speech going forward." A directive to the federal government "ending the weaponization of government against the political adversaries of the previous administration, as we've seen." Trump then headed to the White House, where one of the first things he did was pardon more than 1,500 people convicted in connection to the deadly January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Many of Trump's campaign promises may be able to be implemented by executive order, but others will require support from Congress. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-executive-orders-list-president-signed-2016864

The Gov Gen should be sacked and replaced. MacKinnon and Lavranos asked the court to expedite its hearing of their application for judicial review, citing urgency due to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose steep tariffs on goods from Canada. They argued Trudeau's decision effectively denies Parliament, without reasonable justification, the ability to carry out its constitutional functions as a legislature. In particular, the application said, prorogation prevents Parliament from dealing "quickly and decisively" with especially pressing issues, including the effects of Trump's threatened tariffs. They suggest the true intention of prorogation was to stymie efforts of opposition parties to bring a motion of non-confidence in the Liberal government. "An eleven-week shutdown of our federal government's legislative branch by the executive branch, without lawful authority, represents a grave threat to democracy, our Parliamentary system and the rule of law itself," MacKinnon and Lavranos argued in seeking an expedited hearing. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/judge-agrees-to-expedite-legal-challenge-of-trudeaus-move-to-prorogue-parliament/

Seriously.......you Liberal members really think that if Carney fails to become Prime Minister in the federal election, you really believe he'll stick around to re-build a tattered Liberal Party? LOl - you bet your bottom bippy, he'll leave and move on. Freeland, on the other hand, may very well stick around to roll up her sleeves and do the task.

Karina Gould is a threat to democracy. Three Liberal MPs have been ordered by the Federal Court to unblock Rebel News on X and pay $1,750. The ruling came after Rebel News was victorious in a lawsuit against Guilbeault, who blocked Rebel founder and owner Ezra Levant on the social media platform. “What’s so crazy is that they’re doing to us exactly what Steven Guilbeault, Trudeau’s extremist environment minister, did to us — and he was smashed in Federal Court,” said Rebel News. Guilbeault allegedly ordered his government department to block Rebel on X. The news organization could not receive any government news updates from the environment minister’s department. “We couldn’t read anything, we couldn’t reply, and of course we couldn’t ask him journalistic questions on Twitter. We were effectively kicked out of the public square, which is what Twitter has become,” said Levant. “We were banned from a government service just because we disagreed with a politician.” “The Federal Court ordered three more Liberal ministers to unblock Rebel News on Twitter. Ya’ara Saks, Marci Ien, and Karina Gould are forbidden to block us for the rest of their careers. They were also ordered to pay us $1,750. The money arrived. They made taxpayers pay!” https://tnc.news/2024/02/27/federal-court-ordered-liberal-unblock-rebel-fine/

Indeed, I can't wait for that debate! 😁 Carney can't even answer some questions during his run-for-leadership announcement! Sun political columnist Lorne Gunter on how federal Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney won’t answer the big question about the carbon tax.

The traitors to Canada are the LIBERAL PARTY and JAGMEET SINGH. I don't think Liberal Canadians voted the Liberals to be the clone of the NDP. It was TRUDEAU's Liberal Party - propped by Singh - who'd copycatted from his admired dictators, and had violated constitutional rights! Lol - Trudeau and his minions, had already put us right smack into deep shit way before Trump had threatened us with the tarrif. Don't you forget that!

To add salt and insult to injury..... Carney was implying he'll do away with the carbon tax. He's gonna replace it with something that won't hurt. Its not because he thinks of us. Let's not kid ourselves! He's going to do it because POILIEVRE promises to do it! The gall! They're using pain to pressure Canadians into voting them back in. SHAME ON THE LIBERALS! I hope they end up with only 1 seat or none at all!

Don't let Trudeau have you see it through his warped lens. I can understand other nations would want to use tariff for what they think is for the good of their own nation(s). If Trump - or any other leaders - would do it to us, the way I see it is......................that's just the way it is. BUT, we can all tighten our belts, and stand together. BUT - the LIBERAL PARTY (Trudeau and MPs), don't have the MORAL ground to lead us into this, and expect Canadians to stand with them! HECK - it's one thing for another nation to inflict pain on us.............but, it's really quite another for our very own PM to be inflicting hurt on us....................... ........................... ON TOP OF WHAT WE KNOW, IS GONNA BREAK SO MANY OF US! The tarrif is one thing. The carbon tax, is quite another. Why would I expect Smith to stand with Trudeau for the so-called good of the country? Is Trudeau standing for us? I don't think so. HECK - what good for the country is the carbon tax gonna be? Why should Canadians wait for a new Prime Minister to cancel it? I'm asking: Why is our PM hurting us so badly? Why can't he say, "because of the tarrif that will hurt our people, I'm going to cancel the carbon tax that's supposed to come on April, and postpone it for another time, to help ease the hurt the tarrif will inflict on our people." I'm not going to find fault with Danielle Smith. BUT I surely, am pointing my finger at TRUDEAU! HOW COULD YOU?

He's the architect of all the boondagle legislation/decisions made by Trudeau. He's behind the carbon tax, the elimination of pipe lines and other means by which Canada would've been dependent on her own resources! He's WEF, and a Climate Change lunatic!

He's worse than Trudeau! After all.................he's the "brains" behind Trudeau.
