Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted yesterday a reminder that the Trump administration would NOT recognize June as "Pride Month" or approve any federal funds for the occasion.
"President Trump doesn't feel as though spending $200 million on festivals and parades for what amounts to less than 7 percent of the population makes any sense," said Leavitt, "We'd much rather put that money towards solving the homeless veteran issue."
Tens of millions of Americans agree with President Trump.
While the veterans have put their lives on the line for our liberty and freedom, the LGBTQIA+ movement is tearing at the very fabric of our culture, while shaking a fist of defiance in the face of God, our Creator.
There are many reasons why Trump is right. Here are a couple of them.
Be informed, not misled.
Bob Hoge wrote yesterday in Red State: "In March, RedState brought you the story of Reese Hogan, the female California track and field athlete who made a powerful statement by taking her rightful place at the #1 spot on the podium after the official (bogus) medal ceremony had taken place. In that affront to justice, a male 'won' and received the top honors."
“This is how you do it,” I wrote, and argued that we needed to see more of this to end this scourge on society. Men shouldn’t be competing against women in high-level athletics; there is no “if, and, or but” to the conversation.
"Lo and behold, we did see more of it Saturday night when two Oregon girls bravely took a stand and refused to stay on the podium when a male athlete was awarded a medal", he concluded.
"More of it" continues to happen in states led by Leftist politicians.
More on Oregon in a moment.
RE Washington State
The Review, in its defense of men who beat girls in competitive sports, revealed another layer of the dark underside of the trans movement.
Elena Perry wrote for the Spokesman Review, "Though the jeering follows Verónica Garcia when she races in track events, it hasn’t slowed her down.
Garcia, an East Valley High School senior, is again the state champion in the girls’ 2A 400-meter dash after the state track and field championship meet in Tacoma this weekend.
Garcia made history last year as the first transgender track athlete to win a Washington state title in the same event, garnering national attention and sparking controversy from a growing camp of people who don’t think trans girls belong in girls' sports. This camp was present and vocal at the track meet.
“Maybe it didn’t have their intended effect, considering it made me angry,” Garcia said of her hecklers in a brief interview after finishing. “But not angry as in, I wanted to give up, but angry as in, I’m gonna push.”
The transgenders who are boys pretending to be girls, sometimes physically injuring the authentic biological girls, often setting new "women's" records and now beginning to be awarded with trophies and scholarships, have become the victims according to the Spokesman Review article.
A message to Spokane and the Inland Empire: Don't believe the newspaper.
Don't be misled. The real victims are the young, biological girls who are being robbed of their opportunities for trophies and scholarships.
The backlash against Garcia enveloped the stadium throughout the meet, reflecting the political discourse in which Garcia found herself caught.
“One thing that Martin Luther King always pointed out is that you have to do what’s right,” Garcia said. “Even if there comes risk, you still have to do what’s right.”
Is it right to punish girls because they are biological girls?
Vitriol to one’s identity is something Spokane’s Beyoncé Black St. James knows as a transgender woman. As Miss Trans USA, she also knows “triumphs,” “love,” and “support,” she wrote in a statement, and hoped Garcia could find it through the backlash.
RE Oregon
Footage obtained by Fox News Digital showed the two high school seniors, Reese Eckard of Sherwood High School and Alexa Anderson of Tigard High School, step down from their respective spots on the podium next to a trans athlete who represented Ida B. Wells High School.
Eckard, in fourth place, and Anderson, in third, each finished ahead of the trans athlete, who tied for fifth place. But the two females faced the opposite direction as the other competitors received their medals from officials.
The footage then showed an official confronting the two young women and gesticulating for them to move away. Eckard and Anderson were then seen walking away from the podium and standing off to the side.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Oregon School Activities Association for a response.
Fox News Digital previously reported that the trans athlete competed in the boys' category in 2023 and 2024.
Eckard and Anderson were praised on social media for not standing on the podium and even shouted out by prominent conservative activist Riley Gaines.
"We didn’t refuse to stand on the podium out of hate. We did it because someone has to say this isn’t right. In order to protect the integrity and fairness of girls' sports, we must stand up for what is right," Anderson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Takeaway
President Donald Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order on Feb. 5, and his administration has made combating the continued enabling of trans athletes in girls' sports by Democratic states a priority.
The U.S. Department of Justice has already launched a lawsuit against Maine for defying Trump's executive order, and the president suggested on Tuesday that more federal funding pauses could be coming against California and others.
The Spokesman Review article says, “The political vitriol aimed at trans people, including athletes, can have devastating effects on our mental health and well-being,” she wrote. “It can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and fear.”
Belonging and inclusion were on Aidan Key’s mind 18 years ago when he helped the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association write their policies that allow trans kids to play on the team with which they identify.
The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (IAA) estimates that five to ten of the state's 250,000 student athletes are trans.
I don't believe them. But if that's true, they're saying they are rewriting girls' sports for 5 or 10 confused boys in the state.
The article tells readers in Washington State that they should be proud of their state's policy of inclusion, the first of its kind when put in place in 2007.
RE: Trump and homeless veterans
Four percent of Veterans—one in 25—were homeless or unstably housed, according to a report in 2021. Of the 221,686 Veterans in Washington, four percent, 8,947, were identified as homeless or unstably housed by either the Veterans HOMES database or through state-administered housing and homelessness services.
I'm with Trump. I hope you are as well.
Be Informed. Be Discerning. Be Vigilant. Be Engaged. Be Bold. Be Prayerful.
