“Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations.”

The federal government doesn’t have common law jurisdiction, and so has spent 250 years building a growing list of statutory crimes.
President Trump issued a new executive order with a remarkably broad scope and deep implications, under the title “Fighting Overcriminalization in Federal Regulations.” It starts with plain, clear, direct language:
The Code of Federal Regulations contains over 48,000 sections, stretching over 175,000 pages — far more than any citizen can possibly read, let alone fully understand. Worse, many carry potential criminal penalties for violations. The situation has become so dire that no one — likely including those charged with enforcing our criminal laws at the Department of Justice — knows how many separate criminal offenses are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, with at least one source estimating hundreds of thousands of such crimes. Many of these regulatory crimes are “strict liability” offenses, meaning that citizens need not have a guilty mental state to be convicted of a crime.
Moving to address the overcriminalization of federal regulations, the order flatly declares, “It is the policy of the United States that … criminal enforcement of criminal regulatory offenses is disfavored,” while adding, “Agencies promulgating regulations potentially subject to criminal enforcement should explicitly describe the conduct subject to criminal enforcement, the authorizing statutes, and the mens rea standard applicable to those offenses.”
Mens rea is a guilty mind. Imposing a mens rea standard on federal prosecutions for regulatory offenses means the government will be expected to stop prosecuting people who didn’t know they were doing something illegal, or people whose guilty mind — their knowledge that they were doing something illegal, and meant to — can’t be proved. It makes federal prosecution harder, less likely, and probably less common.
The first subtext of this executive order is federalism: moving ordinary criminal prosecution back to the states, after decades in which the list of federal crimes has grown so sharply that no one can possibly know them all. The second subtext is about constitutional order: passing what has amounted to lawmaking from the administrative state back to Congress.
The third piece of subtext is demystification, and the order also requires every federal agency to compile, keep current, and make public a list of regulations that carry criminal penalties for violations.

Supreme Court Stays Lower Court Ruling, Allowing Trump Transgender Ban To Proceed

The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with the Trump administration in lifting a lower court order that paused the Pentagon's transgender military ban from taking effect – allowing Trump's order and related policies to proceed, at least.
The high court ruling is a near-term victory for the White House, even as it did not address the underlying merits of the case or President Donald Trump's Jan. 27 executive order banning transgender service members from the U.S. military.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration's appeal and kept the lower court injunction in place.
At issue in the suit, Shilling v. United States, is Trump's executive order banning transgender military members.
The executive order would require the Defense Department to update its guidance regarding "trans-identifying medical standards for military service" and to "rescind guidance inconsistent with military readiness."
Seven transgender military members brought suit against the administration in Washington, D.C., and in Seattle-based federal court.
That complaint argued that the executive order "turns" away transgender military members "and kicks them out – for no legitimate reason."
"Rather, it baselessly declares all transgender people unfit to serve, insults and demeans them, and cruelly describes every one of them as incapable of ‘an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life,’ based solely because they are transgender," it continued.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle issued a preliminary injunction in March that blocked the administration from identifying and removing transgender service members as the suit worked its way through the lower courts.
In his opinion granting the injunction, Settle characterized the ban as a "blanket prohibition on transgender service." Settle found the plaintiffs would likely succeed on the merits of their equal protection, First Amendment, and procedural due process claims, among others.
"The government’s arguments are not persuasive, and it is not an especially close question on this record," Settle wrote.
Settle wrote in his order that the injunction was to "maintain the status quo of military policy regarding both active-duty and prospective transgender service" that were in place prior to Trump's Jan. 27 executive order.
The administration quickly appealed the order to the 9th Circuit, requesting the appellate court stay Settle's order.
The administration argued in court filings that the policy "furthers the government’s important interests in military readiness, unit cohesion, good order and discipline, and avoiding disproportionate costs."
A three-judge panel – composed of Judges Atsushi Wallace Tashima, a Clinton-appointee, John B. Owens, an Obama-appointee, and Roopali H. Desai, a Biden-appointee – denied the administration's request for a stay on March 31, which was overturned by the Supreme Court ruling Tuesday.
"The Department of Justice has vigorously defended President Trump’s executive actions, including the Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness Executive Order, and will continue to do so," a Justice Department official told Fox News Digital at the time.
Shilling v. United States is just one of several suits challenging the Trump administration's military ban. It comes as Trump has used his early days in office to undo major Biden-era policies, including their efforts to promote a diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, agenda.

Trump Has Signed An EO Removing Funding From PBS And NPR ... BUT ...

CPB is fighting back saying Trump has no authority to do this. What liberal judge will decide this case?

“CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President’s authority. Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government.

“In creating CPB, Congress expressly forbade ‘any department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over educational television or radio broadcasting, or over [CPB] or any of its grantees or contractors…’ 47 U.S.C. § 398(c).”

And This EO

Is hilarious. Will Scharf ain't mincing his words with this EO.

"Restoring Truth And Sanity To American History"

 

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to restore truth to American history through an overhaul of the Smithsonian.
The order, titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," slams the Biden administration for ushering in an era of "corrosive ideology" in recent years and seeks to unfurl "divisive, race-centered" themes plaguing the institution.
"Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology," the order reads. "This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive."
The directive puts Vice President JD Vance in charge of overseeing efforts to “remove improper ideology” from all areas of the institution. Vance serves on the Smithsonian Institution’s Board of Regents.
The President notes that institutions like these - including the institution's museums and research centers - should focus on American achievements.
It is the policy of my Administration to restore Federal sites dedicated to history, including parks and museums, to solemn and uplifting public monuments that remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.  Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history.
If you're looking for the red meat issue that's almost certain to make liberals pull their hair out, it'd be the section of this new executive order that directs Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum to review and "restore" any "public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties" that may have been improperly removed in the past five-plus years.
A White House fact sheet states that their removal or any subsequent changes made to alter them were designed "to perpetuate a false revision of history or improperly minimize or disparage certain historical figures or events."
Trump's latest order on the Smithsonian, much like his Kennedy Center overhaul, is an attempt to wrest control of these institutions away from far-left ideologues that have turned them into political statements rather than places of cultural advancement and education.
The Smithsonian has engaged in such lunacy for quite some time.
Back in 2016, the institution excluded Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from its National Museum of African American History and Culture. He was only mentioned tangentially as part of an exhibit on Anita Hill, who accused him of sexual harassment in the early 1990s. It was a story that had several holes and little basis in fact.
Thomas would later be added to an exhibit titled "The Supreme Court," which featured both him and Justice Thurgood Marshall.
The Smithsonian Institution’s American Women’s History Museum features transgender women on its official website. They mention Sylvia Rivera, a biological male activist born Ray Rivera, and co-founder of the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries.
The order directs all changes to the Smithsonian institutions to be completed by July 4th, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Trump EO For Immediate Expansion Of American Timber Production

By invoking a National Emergency, Trump is shit canning all of the regulatory strangle holds the Tree Huggers have burdened the Timber Industry with over the last 50 years.
Spotted Owl is on the menu again boys.
BREAKING: President Trump just signed an Executive Order terminating all regulations & processes that delay the production of timber, lumber, paper, bioenergy, and other wood products. It’s time to cut trees and use them to make houses, & other things affordable again. “The United States has an abundance of timber resources that are more than adequate to meet our domestic timber production needs, but heavy-handed Federal policies have prevented full utilization of these resources and made us reliant on foreign producers.”
This is going to trigger a huge economic boom here in Western Washington state, Western Oregon too.
The timber Industry has been wiped out over the last 50 years in these areas.
Companies like Weyerhauser still own hundred of thousands, if not millions of acres of timber in both states.
Modern technology will replace the lumber mills of old and if they fast track the investments it could well be within a year, a burgeoning new Lumber Industry could see truck loads of logs coming out of the forests bumper to bumper again.
Small lumber towns will be revitalized and shattered economies will spring back to life.
It will also go a long ways towards preventing the monstrous wild fires that have become all too common over the years by thinning over crowded forests and getting rid of the fuel they thrive on.
Lumber prices will come down allowing contractors to start building more affordable homes by the thousands.
Win, Win, Win.
This could be bigger than most people can even comprehend.

Donald Trump Is Emphatically Correct About Birthright Citizenship

By Josh Hammer

Birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens is, at best, a live and unsettled legal debate. But the original meaning is quite clear.
Less than two weeks into this second Trump presidency, the fearmongering has already reached fever pitch. “He can’t do it!” the critics have invariably howled in decrying President Donald Trump’s landmark day-one executive order upending the status quo on birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship."

The usual suspects in the punditocracy say Trump’s order is “blatantly unconstitutional” and that it “violates settled law.” Perhaps it’s even “nativist” or “racist,” to boot!
Like the Bourbons of old, pearl-clutching American elites have learned nothing and forgotten nothing. Because when it comes to birthright citizenship, the virtue signaling and armchair excoriation is not just silly — it’s dead wrong on the law. Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order on birthright citizenship is legally sound and fundamentally just. The maestro of Mar-a-Lago deserves credit, not condemnation, for implementing such a bold order as one of his very first second-term acts.
The citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” The clause’s purpose was to overturn the infamous 1857 Supreme Court case, Dred Scott v. Sandford, and thereby ensure that Blacks were, and would forever be, full-fledged citizens.
But Blacks were here from America’s beginning. The ruinous slavery debate aside, in 1868 Blacks were thus universally viewed — unlike, for example, American Indians — as “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. (Congress did not pass the Indian Citizenship Act, which finally granted birthright citizenship to American Indians, until 1924.) Our debate today thus depends on whether, in 1868, aliens — legal or illegal — were considered “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
They weren’t.
In the post-Civil War Republican-dominated Congress, the 14th Amendment was intended to constitutionalize the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which had passed two years prior. Rep. James Wilson (R-Iowa), then House Judiciary Committee chairman and a leading 14th Amendment drafter, emphasized that the amendment was “establishing no new right, declaring no new principle.” Similarly, Sen. Jacob Howard (R-Mich.), the principal author of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause, described it as “simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already.”
In other words, the 14th Amendment formalized the Civil Rights Act of 1866. And the citizenship clause of that law reads: “All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States.” In other words, “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” necessarily excludes those “subject to any foreign power.” As then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Lyman Trumbull (R-Ill.) said during the 14th Amendment ratification debate, “subject to the jurisdiction” means subject to the United States’ “complete” jurisdiction — that is, “not owing allegiance to anybody else.”
The 14th Amendment thus constitutionally requires that neither legal nor illegal aliens be afforded birthright citizenship. (Whether Congress passes additional rights-bestowing laws of its own volition is a separate matter.)
This understanding was unchallenged for decades. In the 1873 Slaughter-House Cases, Justice Samuel Miller interpreted the citizenship clause as “intended to exclude from its operation children of … citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States.” And in the 1884 case of Elk v. Wilkins, Justice Horace Gray held that “subject to the jurisdiction” means “not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.”
It’s true that Gray inexplicably reversed course in an oft-cited 1898 case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Over a powerful and compelling dissenting opinion joined by Justice John Marshall Harlan, the sole dissenter in Plessy v. Ferguson, Gray held that there is some level of birthright citizenship for the children of aliens. But even in that wrongfully decided case, the court emphasized that its holding was limited to children of “resident aliens” who were under “the allegiance” of the United States. The court repeatedly emphasized that its holding only applied to those legitimately “domiciled” here.
In no world whatsoever does Gray’s pro-birthright citizenship opinion in Wong Kim Ark apply to children of illegal aliens. Eighty-four years later, in Plyler v. Doe, the court dropped a superfluous footnote indicating that Wong Kim Ark applies to the children of illegal aliens too. But this nonbinding footnote from Justice William J. Brennan Jr., a leading liberal, does not the “law of the land” make.
Fourteenth Amendment-mandated birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens is, at best, a live and unsettled legal debate. But the original meaning is quite clear: The amendment’s draftsmen would have been aghast at the notion that people who broke our laws and entered our soil illegally could then be afforded birthright citizenship for their children. The drafters likely foresaw, as so many today do not, the tremendous perverse incentives induced by such an ill-conceived policy.
The so-called legal eagles are wrong. And Trump, yet again, is right.

Trump To Sign EO Terminating All Federal Benefits For Illegals Tonight

Per WH official on background, later tonight, President Trump will sign an executive order designed to terminate any & all federal taxpayer benefits going to illegal aliens. The order will direct every federal agency & department to identify all federally funded programs currently providing any financial benefits to illegal aliens, and “take corrective action”, ensuring that any federal funds to states and localities “will not be used to support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.” Additionally, the executive order will mandate improvements in eligibility verification to prevent federal benefits from going to anyone in the US illegally. A WH official tells @FoxNews the executive order will show Trump is committed to prioritizing that federal public health benefits go towards American citizens, including veterans.

ATF Tries A Sidestep Around Trump’s Ban On DEI

The Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI is causing major changes in some federal agencies.
Trump’s order required “all executive departments and agencies (agencies) to terminate all discriminatory and illegal preferences, mandates, policies, programs, activities, guidance, regulations, enforcement actions, consent orders, and requirements.”
“I further order all agencies to enforce our longstanding civil-rights laws and to combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities,” the order said.
That was followed by an order from the Office of Personnel Management to put all federal staff holding jobs in which they implemented DEI rules to be put on leave, according to NBC.
A report from Fox News said that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is in the hot seat because it tried to shift an employee who was its chief diversity officer to the title of “senior executive.”
“The ATF defied @realDonaldTrump’s order to place DEI workers on leave, instead giving their DEI officer a new title. They attack citizens’ rights, ignore leadership, and act as though they’re above the law. Enough is enough. Time to abolish the ATF!” Republican Rep. Eric Burlison of Missouri posted on X.
Lisa T. Boykin had been the ATF’s chief diversity officer until Tuesday, when after the DEI order was issued, her title became “senior executive” in the agency.
The ATF is part of the Department of Justice.

Trump Restores Mexico City Policy, Ends Taxpayer Funding For Abortion

President Donald Trump took executive actions today preventing the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions both in foreign countries and within the United States.
The first measure signed by Trump, a presidential memorandum referred to as the Mexico City policy, prevents taxpayer funds from being sent to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions. Trump also signed an executive order strengthening the Hyde Amendment, a ban on the use of federal funds for abortion.
“I further direct the Secretary of State to take all necessary actions, to the extent permitted by law, to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund organizations or programs that support or participate in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization,” reads the memorandum reinstating the Mexico City policy, sent out by the White House Office of Communications.
“It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion,” the president’s executive order on the Hyde Amendment states.
The Biden administration rescinded the Mexico City policy, though Biden was unable to overturn the Hyde Amendment. A White House official said that the move by Trump is an effort to undo Biden’s abortion policies and reinstate the status quo that existed before the Democrat took office, RealClearPolitics reported.

Thicc Latina Executive Order

 

All Federal DEI Officials Placed On PAID LEAVE

(Why TF are they being placed on PAID LEAVE? FIRE 'EM!)

The Trump administration will be placing all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officials on paid leave by the end of the business day Wednesday, a document from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) says.
The OPM memo, which is being sent to the executive agencies as a result of President Donald Trump’s executive order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions,” instructs agency heads to tell all DEI employees that they are being placed on leave immediately.
“Send a notification to all employees of DEIA offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices, and programs,” it reads.
The memo also instructs agency heads to take down all social media pages associated with their DEIA offices and “send an agency-wide notice to employees informing them of the closure and asking employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language.”
Executive agencies are expected to send OPM a list of all “DEIA-related agency contracts” and “DEIA offices,” and to cancel any upcoming DEIA trainings.
The move from the Trump administration is an attempt to undo the Biden administration’s wide-reaching campaign to embed far-Left DEI policies and personnel throughout the executive branch. One study from Do No Harm found that the Democrat administration took at least 500 different actions to embed the ideology within the federal bureaucracy and executive branch.
Under the former president, intelligence officials were invited to have their nails painted the colors of the transgender flag, left-wing activists in the State Department traveled the globe pushing Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology, the National Security Agency warned of “white fragility” and “transmisogyny,” and bureaucrats organized in identity-based employee groups that often doubled as activist nodes, a series of Daily Wire investigations revealed.
Outside organizations also received lucrative government contracts to advance DEI, with the Pentagon hiring a public university to create a discriminatory career pipeline program and a think tank drafting plans to mitigate resistance against the race-based ideology.
