President Biden Signs Executive Orders to Undo Trump Policies as First Official Act

By: Bruce Hausknecht

Shortly after President Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president, he and congressional leaders gathered in an interior room inside the Capitol, known as the “President’s Room,” to participate in the first official act of his administration — signing an inauguration proclamation as well as a list of executive nominees he will submit to Congress. A few hours later, at the White House, Biden signed a number of of executive orders, memoranda, and other documents.

As the head of the executive branch, the president controls policy within the federal agencies that report to him, and he is granted authority under certain federal laws — many having to do with foreign policy — to make decisions as the head of state.

Sponsoring a Flag at Biden’s Inauguration Sends Donation to Planned Parenthood
Sponsoring a Flag at Biden’s Inauguration Sends Donation to Planned Parenthood
By: Zachary Mettler

The Biden Inaugural Committee hosted a symbolic “Field of Flags on the National Mall” display for President Biden’s inauguration. It included around 191,500 American flags to represent those who could not attend the ceremony due to COVID-19.

The committee offers Americans the ability to become a “symbolic sponsor” of the event.

“To include the American people in the inaugural ceremonies, we welcome Americans to become a symbolic sponsor of the Field of Flags,” the committee writes.

However, to sponsor a flag at the mall, one must also fund abortions.
A Reflection on Attending the 2005 Inauguration
A Reflection on Attending the 2005 Inauguration

The first time I visited Washington D.C. was as part of a special trip to the nation’s capital for the second inauguration of President George W. Bush in 2005. I was a senior in high school. It was both nerve-wracking and exciting to receive an invitation to such a significant event.

Looking back, it was also one of the more divisive times in American political history, much like today.

The invitation to attend came from the People to People Program, which I had participated in for the previous two years, traveling to eight countries throughout Europe. For an aspiring historian, it was a wonderful opportunity, especially since we got to visit Athens right before the 2004 Olympics. My official Olympics memorabilia is something I still treasure.
Religious Freedom Lawsuit: Court Strikes Down HHS ‘Transgender Mandate’ for Health Care
Religious Freedom Lawsuit: Court Strikes Down HHS ‘Transgender Mandate’ for Health Care
By: Jeff Johnston

A U.S. District Court struck down a “transgender mandate” from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that would have forced health care providers to offer puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries to patients who believe they are the opposite sex – even if it violated a health provider’s medical and religious beliefs.

The court ruling, in Sisters of Mercy v. Azar, was the second time a court had struck down the HHS mandate as a violation of sincerely held religious beliefs. Luke Goodrich, a senior counsel and vice president with Becket, tweeted, “Today’s ruling protects patients, aligns with current medical research, and ensures doctors aren’t forced to violate their religious beliefs and medical judgment.”

The ruling dealt with Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act which prohibited “discrimination in health care on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.”

 
Democrats Prove ‘Law and Order’ is Possible and Certainly Not Racist
Democrats Prove ‘Law and Order’ is Possible and Certainly Not Racist

Our nation has a new president and the old one is gone.

The transfer of power at the executive level of our national government in the United States is complete. That is no small thing. There were widespread reports and deep fears that the transfer wouldn’t go peacefully. More than a few serious people suggested President Trump would need to be physically ejected from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Or that he would retain his place there through a declaration of martial law. But he departed peacefully on his own two feet. There were also reports of armed protests at every Capitol in each of our 50 states. They never materialized.

All this demonstrates that our highest Democrat leaders know how to control and prevent violent uprisings if they have the will. For all the talk we have heard over the last four years about “law and order” literally being a racist dog whistle, today’s inauguration of President Joseph Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris demonstrates a number of facts.
