This man is the solution to just about every problem that our feckless pajama boy governments have tossed in our path to life and liberty.

I hope he haunts their every moment, that he inspires voters.

“This man is the solution to just about every problem that our feckless pajama boy governments have tossed in our path to life and liberty.”

And our DOD is concerned with recruiting Transgenders.

Usurping the president’s constitutional authority

ANALYSIS/OPINION:
By James A. Lyons - - Thursday, January 4, 2018

President Donald Trump, exercising his constitutional authority, announced in July, 2017 that transgender personnel will not be allowed to serve in our military; thereby, reversing an Obama policy of accepting them. President Barack Obama had set a deadline of July 1, 2017 to accept transgender personnel in the military.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis postponed that date until Jan. 1, 2018. Subsequently, two appeals court judges rejected the Trump administration’s request to put on “hold” orders by two lower court judges’ requiring the military to accept transgender personnel.

With the Department of Justice (DOJ) raising the “white flag,” along with the White House chief of staff and counsel failing to protect the president’s constitutional authority, the military is now required to accept transgender personnel effective Jan. 1, 2018. Actually, on Dec. 8, 2017, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued guidelines to recruit and enlist transgender personnel by Jan. 1.

The rationale for why the Trump administration will not challenge these rulings, according to DOJ officials, was that the DOD will be releasing an independent study on transgender issues by Feb. 2. So what? What’s lacking is an appreciation of the fact that the results of the DOD study are irrelevant to the principal issue of protecting the president’s constitutional authority.
