Trump Administration Orders Military-Grade Weaponry To Be Given To Local Police Forces Across America
Jeff Sessions formally announced that the Trump administration will restart giving surplus military weapons and equipment to state and local police forces.
Speaking to the Fraternal Order of Police in Tennessee on Monday morning, Attorney General Jeff Sessions formally announced that the Trump administration will restart giving surplus military weapons and equipment to state and local law enforcement.
“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” James Madison Speech, Constitutional Convention (1787-06-29)
EDITOR’S NOTE: I 100% support our local police, and I 100% support our president, but I do not support giving military-grade battle weaponry to our local police forces. There should be a very clear line of division between military soldiers and police officers, and giving them battlefield weapons and equipment blurs that line to the point of invisibility. Our founding fathers warned against a military presence in the homeland, for any reason other than an attack by a foreign enemy. If America’s police become soldiers, then a state of war will be deemed to exist. The only question will be who is the actual enemy.
That’s a mistake. What kind of equipment are we talking about? Well, Haverhill, Mass., a town of fewer than 65,000, got a nearly 20-ton Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. Keene, NH, a town of fewer than 30,000, got an 8-ton armored BearCat. Over 10,000 bayonets have been handed out. Yes, bayonets.
Police work is unquestionably difficult — and often thankless. I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for those who put it all on the line to protect our communities, and I saw their bravery firsthand this summer when Capitol Police officers made all the difference during the attack on our congressional baseball game practice.
To support our local police, we must first realize they aren’t soldiers. But today the line between the two is being eroded.
It’s no surprise you can find big government right at the heart of this problem. Washington has incentivized the militarization of local police precincts by using federal dollars to help municipal governments build what are essentially small armies — where police departments compete to acquire military gear.
Plus, over a third of the “surplus” equipment is new, so it’s disingenuous to portray it as banged-up old stuff lying around the garage.
When we couple militarizing law enforcement with the erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury — national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction asset forfeiture — we see the magnitude of the problem.
National Review’s John Fund has observed: “The proliferation of paramilitary federal SWAT teams inevitably brings abuses that have nothing to do with either drugs or terrorism. Many of the raids they conduct are against harmless, often innocent, Americans who typically are accused of nonviolent civil or administrative violations.”
Fund also notes: “By 2005, at least 80 percent of towns with a population between 25,000 and 50,000 people had their own SWAT team,” and that “the number of raids conducted by local police SWAT teams has gone from 3,000 a year in the 1980s to over 50,000 a year [in 2014].”
Given these developments, it’s natural for many Americans — especially minorities, given the racial disparities in policing — to feel like their government is targeting them. Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice isn’t paying close enough attention. Our prisons are full of black and brown men and women who are serving inappropriately long and harsh sentences for nonviolent mistakes in their youth.
Our Justice Department should be leading the conversation on reforming the system, not setting it back further.
Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an elusive and dangerous — or false — security. The militarization of our law enforcement is just another symptom of an overall problem that stems from an unprecedented expansion of government power — where we are repeatedly asked to make such “liberty for what we tell you is security” tradeoffs.
Ultimately, if we sacrifice the very nature of the institutions we have set up to enforce the law, what kind of law will we end up enforcing?
When Congress returns, I will reintroduce my Stop Militarizing Our Law Enforcement Act, which will address this issue by prohibiting the federal transfer of militarized equipment to state and local law enforcement, including MRAP vehicles, drones and armored vehicles transferred through the Department of Defense’s 1033, Department of Justice’s Byrne Justice Assistance Grant and Department of Homeland Security’s grant programs.
This prohibition only applies to offensive equipment and not defensive equipment, such as body armor. It’ll increase these programs’ transparency and accountability and also help us find out how federal agencies are using military-style training and equipment.
I have been encouraged by how much progress we have made under President Trump to roll back overzealous government and get unnecessary regulation off the American people’s backs. In cutting onerous regulations, the president has made clear he is listening to the American people.
I urge President Trump and Attorney General Sessions to listen to the concerns Americans have raised regarding police militarization and reconsider their decision. source

Walmart Becomes Latest Major Corporation To Rollback DEI Policies As Trump Landslide Win Already Reversing The Tide Of Obama-Era Wokeness
Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, is rolling back its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, joining a growing list of major corporations that have done the same after Donald Trump win. Woke is dead, and that’s good.
This Thanksgiving, one of the things you can be thankful for is that it looks like many of the woke policies put in place by Barack and Michelle Obama, and kept in place by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, just might finally be coming to an end. Policies like DEI hiring that mandates that a person get a job based, not on merit and qualifications, but on skin color and gender identity. Walmart is just one of many major corporations to begin rolling back the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies they were forced to enact. This is happening because Donald Trump just won in a landslide. Winning is good.
“And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.” Mark 5:9 (KJB)
America is a diverse nation, and to a large degree, that diversity is our strength. But that only applies when talking about organic diversity as it is naturally found amongst our people. The artificial diversity created by the DEI and pronouns crowd is demonic in nature, and gives power to the most base elements of our society. Biological men do not belong in the ladies room, transgenders do not belong on the battlefield, and who wants their pilot or surgeon to hold those positions by virtue of their gender identity? So kudos to Walmart, as well as Toyota, Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, John Deere and other corporations who are voting for a return of sanity. The incoming Trump era is already bearing fruit, and that’s a lot to be thankful for. Now go out and tell lost people about salvation in Jesus Christ.

Walmart the latest big corporation to scale back DEI policies after pressure from conservative activists
FROM CBS NEWS: The changes, confirmed by Walmart on Monday, are sweeping and include everything from not renewing a five-year commitment for an equity racial center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd to pulling out of a prominent gay rights index. And when it comes to race or gender, Walmart won’t be giving priority treatment to suppliers.
Walmart’s moves underscore the increasing pressure faced by corporate America as it continues to navigate the fallout from the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2023 ending affirmative action in college admissions. Emboldened by that decision, conservative groups have filed lawsuits making similar arguments about corporations, targeting workplace initiatives such as diversity programs and hiring practices that prioritize historically marginalized groups.

Separately, conservative political commentator and activist Robby Starbuck has been going after corporate DEI policies, calling out individual companies on the social media platform X. Several of those companies have subsequently announced that they are pulling back their initiatives, including Ford, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Harley-Davidson.
But Walmart, which employs 1.6 million workers in the U.S., is the largest one to do so.
“This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America,” Starbuck wrote on X, adding that he’d been in conversation with Walmart.
Walmart confirmed to The Associated Press that it will better monitor its third-party marketplace items to make sure they don’t feature sexual and transgender products aimed at minors. That would include chest binders intended for youths who are going through a gender change, the company said. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer will also be reviewing grants to Pride events to make sure it isn’t financially supporting sexualized content that may be unsuitable for kids. For example, the company wants to makes sure a family pavilion isn’t next to a drag show at a Pride event, the company said.
Additionally, Walmart will no longer consider race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts. The company said it didn’t have quotas and won’t do so going forward. It won’t be gathering demographic data when determining financing eligibility for those grants.
The changes come soon after an election win by former President Donald Trump, who’s criticized DEI initiatives and surrounded himself with conservatives who hold similar views, including his former adviser Stephen Miller, who leads a group called America First Legal that has challenged corporate DEI policies. Trump named Miller to be the deputy chief of policy in his new administration. READ MORE

Donald Trump
The American People Voted To Repeal Wokeism, Abortion, Transgender Tyranny, DEI, Inflation, Open Borders And The Entire Main Stream Media
America voted for America last Tuesday night, and rejected the radical woke agenda offered by Kamala Harris and the Democrat machine, but what comes now?
Last Tuesday night, the American people voted across the board to rid our nation of about a half-dozen things that no one wanted. Voters said with their ballots that they were tired of a bad economy with high inflation, tired of open borders and the endless procession of illegals flooding our states, and tired of the Obama Transgender Manifesto that sought to elevate the perceived needs of a resounding minority above and beyond the needs of the majority. The best part? Donald Trump was handed his landslide mandate by a wonderful coalition of blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and yes, even LGBT voters. In short, America voted for America, and America won, but how long can we hang on to it?
“Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.” Psalm 9:20 (KJB)
So the question is, having received the a generational drubbing at the polls, has the Democratic Left actually learned anything at all about what the people want? It would appear they have not. America is now, and has always been, a very diverse nation, but people inherently understand that going to far to either extreme invites disaster. Much of how the Left is reacting right now is more in line with mental illness than it is with good old voter dissatisfaction. Reactions like women shaving their heads on social media, endless videos of Democrats dissolving into hysterical weeping and cries of ‘racism and misogyny’ because Hispanics and blacks ‘didn’t want a mixed race woman’.
It’s been three days since Democrats took the shellacking of a lifetime — and they have a new excuse… that the media is biased. They own all of the major networks, except Fox, but they’re crying foul over @JoeRogan… who @KamalaHarris ghosted. pic.twitter.com/NNDCk1TE0H

What they didn’t want, and what a majority of America didn’t want, was a puffed-up media creation candidate who ran on promising to fix all the things she helped break for the past 4 years. On top of that, the Democrats ran a vice presidential candidate who literally skipped and pranced while blowing kisses around the podium at rallies like Richard Simmons. It was truly a clown show, and America was not buying.
America said no to the radical woke agenda offered by the Democrats, and signaled a desire to return to a time when people had more common sense, protected children instead of indoctrinating them, and rewarded workers based not on their color of their skin, or gender, but on their own merits, efforts and hard work. But make no mistake about it, we are still living in the last days, and we are still a nation that rejects God if you use any sort of a biblical standard. Perilous times lay ahead, and Trump’s mandate will be thwarted by the Democrats every chance they get. Things are exactly as you would expect them to be here on Day 1,702 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and there remains much work to be done for the LORD. It is up to us who are saved to step up to the plate. Now. TO THE FIGHT!!!

After An Overwhelming And Decisive Election Day Win, George Soros Funded Pro-Palestinian Anti-Trump Protests Erupt Across Several Democrat Cities
In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Donald Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.
When Americans went to the polls on Tuesday, they voted across the board in favor of the platform that Donald Trump campaigned for president on, decisively and overwhelmingly. Trump won the Electoral College vote, the Popular vote, he won in the House, in the Senate and in the governors races. The American people not only voted him in in a landslide, they gave him a clear mandate to enact key Trump agenda items like immigration control and reform. Thousands of George Soros funded Pro-Palestinian agitators don’t see it that way, and last night in Chicago and Philadelphia, they took to the streets calling for an end of the nascent Trump presidency that won’t even begin until January 21st, 2025.
“Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.” Isaiah 14:31 (KJB)
America is a nation of immigrants, and that is part of our strength. My dad’s family arrived here in 1732 from Germany by way of Holland and France, and my mom’s family arrived on a boat from Scotland at Ellis Island in 1922. Legal immigration is good and necessary in order to maintain our super-sized nation with the workforce needed to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. George Soros, and now his son Alex Soros, spend tens of millions of dollars per year to flood our streets with political agitators like the ones in our story today. Soros and the Democrats are the ones keeping racism alive, fomenting hatred and causing division. Donald Trump stands for American sovereignty over our borders, and they hate him for that. Donald Trump supports the Jewish state of Israel, and they hate him for that, too.
Palestinian advocates protest in Chicago after Trump win, immigration rights advocates also worry
FROM CBS NEWS: President-elect Donald Trump won more votes in Illinois this general election than he did in either of the two previous elections in which he ran. Immigration and the economy are two key issues that got people to the polls this election—and ultimately led to a victory for Trump nationwide.
In Chicago, a day after America decided, the United States Palestinian Community Network protested Trump’s victory at Federal Plaza.
“Our issues are with both parties,” said Hatem Abudayyeh of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “Both parties support Israel unequivocally.”
Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed with key parts of the Democratic coalition, while Trump made some inroads. Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this outcome if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued.
“They are not going to be able to take for granted the people that are represented here, the movements that are represented here,” said Abudayyeh.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated President-elect Trump, calling his victory history’s greatest comeback. And despite campaign threats of mass deportations, Trump won 45% of the Latino vote—a double-digit increase from 2020.
“The fear factor and the rhetoric, you know, is real,” said Lawrence Benito of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Benito said his organization is ready to respond. “Obviously, we reject mass deportation agenda, and we’re going to continue to fight back,” said Benito. READ MORE

Organizers of the protest said the current administration was warned of this out come if the War in Gaza persisted and U.S. funding to Israel continued. Meanwhile, as Charlie De Mar reports, immigrants’ rights advocates are also concerned about what will happen in the new Trump administration.
