    Aside from my local newspaper (which subscribes to AP wire services) the AP is the only news I consume. They have an app you can download for breaking news.

    I even worked for the AP for a time as a student from 2002-04.
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    [QUOTE=Tradd;442436]IL, this one?

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...al-government/



    thank you, yes that’s it Defending Women from Gender Ideology, Extremeism, and Restoring truth to the Federalists Government.

    I guess I didn’t go deep enough into the whitehouse.gov website

    I read the entire executive order and I think it’s well written and clear. Surprisingly so. I especially like this paragraph:

    “… 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…”

    However, it seems to me the directives in this executive order are potentially in direct conflict with the Supreme Court 2021 ruling that “sex discrimination” also means discrimination against Gender identity and sexual orientation.

    I do not like it when a President, any President, flaunts Supreme Court rulings even if the Supreme Court ruling is wrong. And I think this Supreme Court ruling by giving a unique interpretation to “sex” rolls back protection for women.

    I guess we will just have to see how this plays out.

    I see there’s an EO that we’re going back to calling it Mount McKinley again.

    The end of birthright citizenship seems to violate the 14 amendment to the constitution. I imagine that will tie up our tax dollars in the courts. The pardon of the 1/6 rioters was a thumb at our judicial system. So I'd think he has not only flaunted the Supreme Court, but much more of the judicial system, plus the Constitution. I wonder if his fellow GOPer sycophants will ever speak up or if they will go along in fear of his threats or actions against our democratic systems. I assume they have taken oaths to support the constitution.

    His declaration of an "energy emergency" may be legal, but based on an outright lie

    Nothing unexpected for the first day of a convicted felon.

    Thank You....what a sane post! Indeed I believe however much longer I am in this country, being in nature when I can will help me cope. Also small acts of kindness to strangers seems to help, too. My take on nothing has changed but perhaps I'd be best served while still in the US looking for positive ways to cope instead of complaining so much, you know? Rob

    It must be disappointing that the violence you kept predicting didn’t materialize. A new hobby might be in order.

    Executive order “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship” makes my little Free Speech heart happy. The censorial actions of the Biden administration infuriated me.

    I am not sure what this executive order will actually accomplish since Congressional hearings revealed much of the Biden Administration’s shenanigans in attempting g to control speech on the major social platforms, but nice work anyway.

    And I can dream that DJ Trump actually gives a shit about free speech. Yeah, dream on.
    Iris! Here’s hoping a major figure in his ear preaches free speech to him even speech that is anti-Donald.

    Executive order “ Ending the Weaponization of the federal government” is good in theory but seems like this exec order goes in while DJ Trump exercises weaponizing himself in several areas…hmmm.
