The LGBTQWERTXYZ will be incensed! The Left will go absolutely off the rails and into the streets! Count on it!......................

My thoughts as well.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

>>>Oh, NO!

Trump just lost the queer vote. <<<

Does that include the so-called “Log Cabin” Republicans. Will they finally give up the charade and return to the democrat party where they belong?

So are you saying one can’t be gay and conservative?
Maybe it is people like you that belong in the Democrat party who ID people all the time, blacks, women, etc.

People like Milo, who are Americans love Trump. I as a woman and an atheist love Trump. Trump doesn’t belong to any party, he belongs to the People.

A person’s identity has nothing to do with America’s prosperity. Grow the hell up.

My sexuality is just that, MINE. You are as bad as the confused liberals who presume all women or all blacks should be liberal.

I just listened to retired Gen Jack Keane on Fox Business say Trump should have waited for Mattis to finish the report he’s requested from the service chiefs on what to do with “transgenders” in the miitary.....then Trump should do what Mattis recommends. WRONG, Trump is the president and has made his mind up. Mattis was not blind sighted. His job is a lot easier now. He should call a news conference and say “the president’s order is crystal clear and will be immediately executed.”

The only reason for transgenders to be in the military is strictly “PC” which is no reason at all. They are mentally ill - the mentally ill are not fit for the military. Period. You would think Mattis would have no problem executing Trump’s order. I’m guessing Mattis didn’t think Trump had the balls to address the tranny situation so directly (a “front stab” as Mucci calls it) so he was going to backdoor it with his report ... same result, but trying to keep Lib hair from bursting into flames. Trump not only had the steel balls to do it, he timed it perfectly to take the wind out of the Dem sails on the rollout of their new slogan, which left the Dems dead in the water with little press coverage of their ‘better’ rip off of Papa John’s slogan. A “two-fer”. Win win.

I read a ridiculous article by neocon Max Boot criticizing Trump’s decision, and claiming how little it costs the military to provide medical services to transgendered. The estimated cost was $8.4 million for 2,450 transgendered military members, or about $3,400 per transgender per year. I assume that is the cost of medical/psychological services and hormone therapy.

The bogus comparison was to compare the total cost of erectile dysfunction medication on military members, dependents, and retirees, using a value of $84 million for these expenses. But the same source for this information, which was from 2014, this was for 1.18 million prescriptions, or about $71 per individual per year. This is a low cost, and suggests many of these prescriptions are temporary, and not chronic.

The sexist attacks on males is a typical trope for secular progressives who want to make comparisons. We rarely hear how overall medical costs for men are less than women. We rarely hear of the costs associated with integrating women into ships and submarines, etc.

I found a link on the web about the costs of transition from male to female, and it said hormone therapy cost $1,500 per year—this is for life. The cost of male to female sex reassignment surgery, breast augmentation, and facial cosmetic surgery to soften and feminize masculine facial features combined to total $100,000.

Assuming $3,400 per year for mental health and hormones, and a conservative cost of $75,000 for sex reassignment surgery means over a 20-year career a transgendered military member will cost the taxpayer about $140,000. For 2,500 transgenders, that is $350 million dollars. And that is not even considering the cost of lost productivity, lost combat readiness, and lost deployability of these individuals.

A good, correct cost analysis. Not to mention the psychiatric bills! These folks are extremely mentally ill. 50 years ago,in the Diagnostic Manual, they were classified as extreme hysterical narcissistic sociopaths.

And NEVER wear white after Labor Day......lol

Just exactly what Obama wanted - the American military in confusion and crippled by P.C.

This guy would be scrubbing pots and pans for the next 6 years or so. Or on bathroom duty. In the coldest place I could find.

I wouldn’t kick him/her/it out. Don’t let them off that easy. Make an example for others to learn from.
