Trump signs executive order to protect children from "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the pause on federal financial assistance will not include food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits on her first White House press conference.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to restrict "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

Here's a rewrite in the style of Douglas Murray, an author known for his sharp, often provocative commentary on cultural and political issues:

In a world where common sense seems to be in ever-dwindling supply, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has confirmed that the pause on federal financial assistance will mercifully not extend to food stamps, Social Security, or Medicare and welfare benefits. One might think this an obvious decision, yet in today's political climate, one can never be too sure.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, ever the maverick, has taken a bold step into the cultural fray by signing an executive order on Tuesday to restrict what he describes as "chemical and surgical" sex-change procedures for minors.

"Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions," the order states. "This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end."

There you have it. In an age where the very fabric of childhood is being stretched and tested by the whims of ideology, Trump's administration says, 'Enough.' Whether this marks a return to sanity or an overreach into personal freedoms will no doubt fuel debates that, in this age of relentless argument, will never truly find an end. But for now, the President has spoken, aiming to protect what he sees as the innocence and integrity of our youth from what he deems the radical excesses of contemporary culture.

POTUS calls for barring immigrants from free money for 5 years

President Trump rallied in Iowa yesterday and announced that he will be asking Congress to pass legislation that would ban immigrants from coming to the United States and immediately get taxpayer funded assistance within five years of arrival.

"The time has come for new immigration rules that say . . . those seeking immigration into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years," he told the Grand Rapids crowd.

This might eliminate immigrants who believe they deserve jizya just for coming here and not making trouble.

This proposal is an idea that builds on the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1966. This allows federal authorities to deport immigrants who are on the dole within five years of arrival.

Many of the law's provisions were rolled back when G.W. Bush and Barack Obama were in office. But Trump's plan would make more categories of federal benefits off-limits to immigrants, thus ending the draining of a welfare system by these leeches that was intended for Americans. 

Foreigners with non-immigrant visas and those without legal status, are generally prohibited from those benefits altogether.

The plan would also prevent the admission of those who will likely become "public-charges" within five years of their arrival. This isn't a new concept--it has been a part of immigration law for more than a century and allows the government to bar entry to those who are likely to seek public assistance, which would likely be nearly everyone from Syria, Iraq and many parts of Africa. Trump is likely to bolster those rules regarding "public charge" and ensure they're enforced.

The left will like buck the system because they don't like rules except when it's to their benefit, by which I mean that it brings them more votes, thus more power.

The Trump administration circulated a draft executive order to make the proposed changes earlier this year. Apparently Mr. Trump would like Congress to codify his plan into law ASAP.

The White House will probably cite a 2015 report from the Center for Immigration Studies that found 51 percent of immigrant households are on the public dole in some form, compared to 30 percent among non-immigrant families.

Critics of the report say it doesn't take into account the nuances of immigrant families, such as the fact that they believe the assistance is their right and America is the Big Satan, but it's cool to live here.

Syrian refugees and the limited job market

According to the website Muslim Statistics, about 65% of Syrian refugees entering Germany will have a tougher time than non-refugees in academic fields such as law and medicine. This is due in large part to the fact that they are functionally illiterate. 

Just try getting through med school or law school without being able to read or write. It's really tough.

So if Angela Merkel was hoping the influx of Syrians would enhance the sciences, develop cures for shingles, or create a stronger economy, she was mistaken.

Of course, the same problem exists in all countries in Europe that have been kind enough to take in Syrian "refugees," but isn't it odd that about 70% of these folks are men?

The Obama abomination has agreed to take in 10,000 refugees per year and ISIS has agreed to plant a few of its members among them. This should not be a cause for alarm based on the statistical probability of you actually being personally involved as part of the carnage that may occur.

But even if there isn't an ISIS attack created by the refugee situation, you can bet your grandchildren's future that over 50% of them will receive some form of welfare assistance.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but that's the way it's beginning to look in the EU.

Germany's welfare guests refuse to leave

It isn't working out so well for Germany and the Muslim situation. But the problem isn't only about the new refugee situation, it also stems from their 'guest worker' program.

Syrian refugees: note all the women and children

When the Turks came to Germany on 'guest worker visas' they were there to provide cheap labor and then leave. Instead, they went on welfare; at least 80% of them did. 

Muslims call such payments from any state they inhabit 'jizya,' or tax levied by a Muslim state on certain non-Muslim people residing in Muslim lands. It is religiously required.

But you're probably wondering why they would think this way, after all, Germany isn't a "Muslim state."

The goal of Islam is to spread the religion throughout the world until every person worships only Allah. Therefore, Islam considers the entire planet to be theirs. Anywhere that Muslims go, you can see how they move in the direction of domination of the people living there prior to the 'immigration jihad.'  This is precisely what is happening in Germany and has already been going on in France, Sweden, the Netherlands, and coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

So the welfare payments in their way of thinking, is rightfully theirs.

If you consider the implications of welfare jizya, you can imagine what we can expect in the United States after the Syrian refugees settle in and feel the same sense of 'ummah' the Turks in Germany feel.
