Trump signs executive order banning trans women from women’s sports

It is the fourth order directly targeting transgender people the president has signed since he took office Jan. 20.

Think about this for a second. Trump had to declare that men can't play in women's sports. Again, men should not play in women's sports. What a fucking concept. This is how insane this world had become that an executive order had to be written.

While I have said it for a long time, I have the same concern that the CIA will take him out when they see fit. It wont be because of a buyout. A buyout doesnt "put people out of work", it is an incentive to get people to take an early retirement and is welcomed by employees in a position to take it.

From time to time, administration to administration, the Government has been known to do a "RIF" (reduction in force) it can be soldiers, civilians, or anyone else: usually there's a "buy out" offered following a warning that these changes are coming, giving career employees opportunity to apply for Retirement (if qualified) or placement in other positions (if qualified)
I expect many not in the know are thinking this is a total shut down or elimination of Agencies, but it's not...even USAID is keeping some personnel in place, but the smart ones already updated their resume.

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the ridiculous — and, in many cases, malicious — pet projects of entrenched bureaucrats, with next-to-no oversight.

Here are only a few examples of the WASTE and ABUSE:
The list literally goes on and on — and it has all been happening for decades.

Under President Trump, the waste, fraud, and abuse ENDS NOW.

At USAID, Waste and Abuse Runs Deep

For decades, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been unaccountable to taxpayers as it funnels massive sums of money to the
www.whitehouse.gov www.whitehouse.gov


According to USASpending.gov, taxpayers have shelled out billions upon billions upon multiple billions of dollars through the years — specifically, $37.5 billion in fiscal 2021; more than $47.76 billion in fiscal 2022; more than $50 billion in fiscal 2023; almost $44.2 billion in fiscal 2024; and so far, for fiscal 2025, another $22.58 billion. That last one has been stopped — thankfully.

Thirty years ago, The Heritage Foundation penned a piece titled, “Abolish the Wasteful Agency for International Development,” arguing that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) had failed miserably on its core mission to promote economic development at overseas spots, and instead had become a cesspool of waste and corruption and more waste.

That was 1995. Now it’s 2025, and not much has changed. In fact, if anything, USAID has grown even worse.

I bet a good 80% of that bullshit was really funding some CIA shenanigans.

Shiving USAID is the best thing Trump has done yet.

Ran across USAID people a lot in the 10 years I was in Kenya, often in very strange places, like smaller towns outside Nairobi, or even in the bush.

One guy was the father of my Son's best friend - seemed to be a "nice guy".

He had a distinct "spook" vibe though, added to by being fluent in Hindi, Kiswahili and others.

It was "common knowledge" among long term ex-pats in Africa that USAID was running interference for the CIA if not, indeed, running "black ops". You might socialize with USAID folk, but never trusted them.

Maybe the demise of USAID will give developing nations time to actually "develop" without interference, although there are USAID counterparts from many governments. The Brits have maintained a presence in Kenya even to this day - some of them are SAS or some of the "MI" family.

First they are much more likely to be trump supporters. Second, giving money to them doesn't aid in subverting or overthrowing a foreign government.

And What's amazing about all this grift and abuse is that all it ever would've taken to begin exposing it is for someone to really just start looking - and they've barely scratched the surface.

So much of our money lost over the years as each wing of the uniparty played "political" lip service to out of control spending. Scum. No one ever really intended to stop it. At best create some dog-and-pony-show committee whose real job was to run interference.

Sure, Musk is a smart guy, but his team's real success is because Trump has empowered them as a team and not some useless committee. Finally.

And now dems are crying like some indignant cheating whore, busted because her old man had the audacity to invade her privacy and look through her phone. Sure, deflect and make that the issue.

And only Trump made it happen. You think RINO cocksuckers like McConnell or Paul Ryan or mitt Romney would ever think to do it? I'm not even sure Ron desantis would do it.

The Democrats are to blame for creating this monster but the cowards in the Republican party ensured nothing would ever happen to it.

Burn the entire rotten structure down and start all over again. (Speaking metaphorically of course for the FBI cocksuckers who are reading this).

I'm not expecting every single person in the USA to have aid before we give some away for goodwill, but the fact that shit happened in NC and CA, and the penances that were given to those people is one of the most disgusting things I've seen.

The moment that hurricane happened they should've redirected foreign aid to domestic needs. Full. Stop.

Dems arent only to blame. Both parties have been on this gravy train for decades, every one of them, there were no "rinos" when it all began, they were all on the dole. When the smoke clears after Trump is done it wont only be dems on the block. I believe that it will never get as far as it needs to, Trumps team will expose and hopefully put an end to a lot of the waste and no heads will roll. After Trump, no matter who gets to be POTUS, it will all start over.

I have said this many times.

The only way to end the abuses of power that the democrats engage in is to beat them at their own game so badly that they agree to outlaw them.

So, Trump should push the EOs *so* far that the democrats are pushing for major restrictions on the power.

Hell, if he beats them hard enough we might get a constitutional ammendment drastically limiting the power of EOs out of it.

And that would be fantastic.

Democrats have no shame and no morals. Democrats a tied with the media so your theory won’t come to fruition ever. What will happen is Biden’s EO will not be reported on can you think of more than 10 and Trump’s will be bashed as bad for many years. It’s all about perception of the public and that is heavily swayed through media reporting.
I wish you were right but I don’t suspect it will happen

You misunderstand what I am suggesting.

I am suggesting that Trump abuse the EO process so badly that Democrats beg for hard limits on the power of EOs in general.

Basically beat them so hard that they beg for a ban on bats.

Sure, they will turn around and try to undo it as soon as they are in power, but that's why you don't let up until it becomes impossible to abuse them.

Dems vs Reps is like professional wrestling.

They make a big show of hating each other in the ring, with absolutely outlandish claims and ridiculous photo ops.

Then they all go sit down to dinner together and congratulate each other on how much money they conned the public out of.


Dem vs Rep is the illusion that's covering the reality of DC vs the country.

Precisely. The tribal warfare of Dem vs Rep is maintained by the media (including fox news). Fox points out how evil the democrats are and the rest of the mainstream media villifies the republicans.

The sad thing is if people just stopped and thought for just a minute they could start changing their mindset. There are tons of examples but Bernie Sanders is probably one of the most glaring and jaw-dropping examples. Supposedly he's a hero to the common man but got bought off by the democratic party to let hillary run and now he's one of the biggest recipients of money from pharmaceutical companies!! How the hell any of his supporters can look in the mirror without throwing up is beyond me. But they get their news from msnbc or facebook or ticktok in 15 second bites that just reiterate the same things over an over. It is astonishing to me.

I got that. What I’m saying is they will not beg for it because they will use the media and Trumps EO to fuel their wins and their agenda. They like the power too much as well. Many of the EO will end up in court and they will scream about democracy, how Trump is a tyrant and a Nazi while they win a few challenges.
Remember how Obama expanded DACA through an EO and when Trump tried to get rid of that EO the courts said no.
