Trump officially bans transgender people from military
By Brandon Carter - 08/25/17 06:19 PM EDT

President Trump signed a presidential memo Friday instructing the Defense Department to stop accepting transgender people who want to enroll in the military.

The memo details Trump's previous Twitter announcement last month that he would reimplement a ban on transgender people serving in the U.S. military, and officially requests the Pentagon begin to implement the ban.

Trump’s memo bars transgender people from enlisting, but instructs Secretary of Defense James Mattis to further explore how to handle transgender people currently serving in the armed forces.

Trump Halts Pentagon Payments for Transgender Surgery
NBC News, Aug 25, 2017, 6:41 pm ET

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday officially stopped funding for sex-reassignment treatment for transgender people currently in the military and barred the Pentagon from accepting any more transgender people into the services.

The president signed a memo giving new guidance to his previously-tweeted ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military, according to a senior White House official who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.

Trump signed the memo, the details of which were first reported by The Wall Street Journal, on Friday and directed the departments of Defense and Homeland Security to stop funding of sex-reassignment procedures and deny entry of transgender individuals into the military.

   Of Couse, I was skeptical when he Tweeted about this major change in DoD policy a few days ago, but this is definitely a great step forward.
   Thank You President Trump.

Ain't it though.   The Press will have to decide if  24/7 coverage of a cat 5 'cane is worth interrupting to blast Trump for Sheriff Joe's Pardon.  They must be apoplectic!   

Trump is a timing genius!

Well now, it appears the Lions do lay down with the Lambs in these parts...occasionally. Good to know there are some things we mostly can agree upon.

I think there's lots we can agree upon.  But it takes action, not just words.  And here we have it!

 The showers in the Air Force Barracks were pretty small, circa 72, and other than my first wife, the airwoman will no longer have to worry about some azzhole squeezing in.

I totally approve of the pardon AND the ban.   I expect that most Americans that are not rabid leftists will approve, as well.  And yeah...it's a good beginning.
