Recapping Trump’s address: More accomplished in 43 days than most administrations

Rep. Al Greene, D-Texas

Important Takeaways:

  • As members of Congress and guests chanted, “U-S-A, U-S-A,” President Donald Trump addressed the nation as he recounted his achievements since his inauguration.
  • With a strong show of support from the Republican-controlled chamber, Trump stated, “Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America. From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years.”
  • President Trump continued with a long list of accomplishments, starting with the creation of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) headed by Elon Musk.
  • “The Government Accountability Office, a federal government office, has estimated annual fraud of over $500 billion in our nation. And we are working very hard to stop it.”
  • In his first 43 days, the president has signed at least 81 executive orders, ranging from requiring federal workers’ return to the workplace, bringing back free speech by removing government censorship, making English America’s official language, and ending Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (D.E.I.) policies while removing critical race theory from public schools.
  • He also addressed transgender controversies, reminding the nation, “There are only two genders, male and female.”
  • He brought up the ban on transgender athletes playing in women’s sports and the criminalizing of sex changes performed on children.
  • He stated, “A message to every child in America is that you are perfect. Exactly the way God made you.”
  • On the topic of immigration, the chief executive introduced a new way successful migrants can buy a path to U.S. citizenship. “We have developed in great detail what we are calling the Gold Card, which goes on sale very, very soon for $5 million,” he said.
  • Throughout his speech, the president honored regular Americans, including the family of Laken Riley, a nursing student killed by an illegal migrant while jogging last year.
  • One of the most emotional moments of the night came when the president honored D.J. Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor who at one time was given five months to live. His dream was to be in law enforcement. On Tuesday night, his dream became a reality.
  • Trump announced, “D.J., we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.”
  • The 47th president concluded his speech with a list of promises to the American people, including fixing the economy for people still struggling under the burden of high prices.
  • “Fellow Americans, get ready for an incredible future,” he exhorted. “Because the Golden Age of America has only just begun. It will be like nothing that has ever been seen before. Thank you. God bless you, and God bless America.”

Executive Order to wipe out DEI in the military: Woke Generals are scrambling

Important Takeaways:

  • The Pentagon is in “absolute disarray” with “generals scrambling” due to the incoming Trump administration’s plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness, according to sources.
  • One source compared it to a hornet’s nest being kicked over and that “DEI pages are starting to disappear off the main websites.”
  • “They’re being archived as we speak. They are full-bore focused on cleaning up anything DEI-related,” the source said.
  • Another source said people are trying to find out if they are on the list to be cut. “They are in panic mode,” the source said.
  • The scramble to hide evidence comes as President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has begun gathering names of senior officers who pushed DEI.
  • One source familiar with the plan told Breitbart News that an executive order has been drafted to create a panel to recommend those senior officers for elimination and that the EO is “definitely” going to Trump’s desk.
  • Sources said, however, the EO is focused on DEI — not COVID — and that its purpose is to “reorient the U.S. military away from the woke ideology and priorities that has been foisted upon it” as far back as the Obama administration.
  • “The purpose of the EO is to restore the military leadership focus on keeping the country safe and when necessary, fighting the country’s wars…not these extraneous factors [such as] “white rage” and gender identity…just this full range of left-wing woke priorities that have impacted recruitment in the military and retention in the military and a person’s prospects of promotion in the military” the source familiar with the plan said.
  • The source said the people who worked on the EO have “stellar military policy credentials” both on the policy and legal side. “It was people who know what they’re talking about.”
  • “They want to lop off the head of the Marxist snake. And so that’s the primary criteria …”
