The Trump Administration is launching investigations into two blue state athletic associations that have publicly announced plans to flout President Donald Trump’s executive order protecting women’s and girls’ sports teams from the incursion of male athletes who identify as transgender.
Columnist Robert Knight says, "Over the past three weeks, President Donald Trump has unleashed a blitzkrieg of executive orders designed to reduce government and bring back sanity."
The Left is suffering from Trump Fatigue. And they're shocked at the things he is doing.
They shouldn't be shocked. He promised Americans over and over in his rallies what he would do if the people would elect him.
They did.
And now he is.
The Leftists are not used to people keeping promises and are now simply unable to get out front of him to block his "promise-keeping" to the American people.
Be informed, not misled.
“The Minnesota State High School League and the California Interscholastic Federation are free to engage in all the meaningless virtue-signaling that they want, but at the end of the day, they must abide by federal law,” Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor told Breitbart News in a statement.
On Feb. 5, Trump kept a major campaign promise and signed an executive order called “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports,” which states that under Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, “educational institutions receiving Federal funds cannot deny women an equal opportunity to participate in sports."
He signed the order with the Oval Office full of young women athletes.
The Executive Order says:
Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy. It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.
California and Minnesota are not handling this very well. The Leftists, in general, are not handling the idea that Trump is doing what he promised he would do.
"With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over," Trump said, commenting on his "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" executive order.

Robert Knight, columnist for the Washington Times, also noticed the confusion on the Left.
He wrote, "Surrounded by grateful female athletes in the Oval Office, he signed a directive to keep males out of girls’ and women’s sports teams and locker rooms, undoing his predecessor’s madness."
Many Democrats are taking this political sea change badly.
When you look at an Electoral Map, the sea change is obvious.
Knight made the following observations:
“I was in denial for several days, my stomach in turmoil,” wrote Sally Quinn, former religion page editor for The Washington Post and widow of the late Post executive editor Ben Bradlee about her morning after the election.
“Then, I realized what I was really experiencing: grief. I looked up Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I moved on from denial to anger to bargaining. What could I have done to prevent this from happening?”
Meanwhile, at the Democratic National Committee meeting on Feb. 1, strategists picked through the pieces and came up with the formula that had led them to lose the White House and both houses of Congress: wokeness, economic madness, and the illusion that they lacked clear messaging. We need more of this, not less, they concluded.
To which I say, mug them again. One woman was dragged out by security after screaming, “I am terrified!” Others yelled “Climate emergency!” and “fossil fuel money!”
“The Democratic brand is in the toilet,” wrote Molly Ball in the Wall Street Journal, noting that a Journal poll found that “60 percent of Americans view the party unfavorably while only 36 percent see it favorably. Democrats lost ground with nearly every demographic.”
Jeff Bezos, the owner of the Washington Post made it very clear to his crew at the Post that they were out of touch with many Americans and were to curb the worst excesses.
It's not happening.
“Trump’s cruel ban of trans athletes aims to demonize, not protect,” thundered the headline for a column last Thursday by Post sportswriter Sally Jenkins. She called the administration’s ban on males in girls’ and women’s sports a “cavernous cruelty, and the distinct smell of autocratic sauerbraten.”
Former congressional candidate Adam Frisch chimed in: “Twenty big cities, Aspen and Martha’s Vineyard – that’s what’s left of the Democratic Party.”
This past Wednesday, the Washington Post doubled down, raging on its front page over the president's executive order halting spending by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
We have talked about this several times over the past week as the truth became known about what was happening through USAID.
According to the White House’s Feb. 3 order, the USAID has spent billions on very weird stuff overseas, including $2 million to Guatemala for sex changes and LGBTQ activism; $4.67 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which funded bat virus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China; and $10 million for meals to the Nusra Front, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist group.
The agency’s leftist staff also has interfered in foreign countries against U.S. policies. There’s a name for that.
Takeaway
Knight concluded with this:
Any Democrats who can’t handle all this change might want to read Sally Quinn’s aforementioned tale of reaching peace through methods taught by a Harvard psychiatrist who doubles as a Buddhist guru.
He, too, woke up and had feelings of “rage, fear and disgust” upon learning the election outcome. But he put his Zen meditation in gear and got through it, she says.
As for her, she went from acceptance back to denial upon learning that Kimberly Guilfoyle had been appointed “ambassador to my beloved Greece, where I spent the happiest years of my childhood. I had a total relapse.”
Maybe it’s a good time to try something else: “No Jesus, no peace; know Jesus, know peace.”
Amen.
