Trump's Second Term

Congresswoman Tenney Moves to Make President Trump's Birthday a Federal Holiday

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Trump's Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act to officially designate June 14 as a federal holiday to commemorate President Donald J. Trump's Birthday and Flag Day.
Born on June 14, 1946, President Donald J. Trump's birthday coincided with Flag Day, which is observed annually and recognizes the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777. This legislation would permanently codify a new federal holiday called "Trump's Birthday and Flag Day" on June 14 to honor this historic day.

"No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump. As both our 45th and 47th President, he is the most consequential President in modern American history, leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil. From brokering the historic Abraham Accords to championing the largest tax relief package in American history, his impact on the nation is undeniable. Just as George Washington's Birthday is codified as a federal holiday, this bill will add Trump's Birthday to this list, recognizing him as the founder of America's Golden Age. Additionally, as our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we should create a new federal holiday honoring the American Flag and all that it represents. By designating Trump's Birthday and Flag Day as a federal holiday, we can ensure President Trump's contributions to American greatness and the importance of the American Flag are forever enshrined into law,"

As there is already a President's Day, why not just call it Dictator's Day?

Or, why not change the name to the United States of Trump?

As of the close of the day on February 14, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -136, despite the fact I recorded two positive actions.

I didn't post this yesterday, so here are February 13 and 14:

14 February 2025
+1: Executive Order: Establishing the National Energy Dominance Council (+1 for benefit to USA)
-1: CDC shuts down the Epidemic Intelligence Service [31]
-1: JD Vance lambastes Romania for letting a court overturn a national election
-1: JD Vance criticises Europe for allowing immigration, leading to far-right attacks on immigrants
-1: Trump claims without evidence that George Soros funnelled billions of taxpayer dollars to third world countries [32]
-1: Trump refers to New Zealand as a "third world country" [32]
-1: Musk: "If ANY judge ANYWHERE can stop EVERY Presidential action EVERYWHERE, we do NOT live in a democracy."

13 February 2025
+1: Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission (+1 for good intentions)
-1: Trump again insults Trudeau by referring to him as "Governor" and says Canada needs US military protection [29]
-1: Trump claims without evidence that the US DoD paid Reuters $9 million for a study [30]
-1: Senate confirms RFK Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary

I also added another line to February 12:
-1: Senate votes to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

I disagree about the National Energy Dominance Counsel. It sounds like it has the agenda of increasing fossil fuel production while reducing environmental protections. To me, that's a negative.

I just reviewed news on the word "USAID". It is all stories about how horrible it is that Trump and Elon shut it down.

There are ZERO stories about the crazy items that USAID was spending money on. They are trying to create a fake narrative to that USAID was an awesome agency and Trump is horrible for stopping the flow of money.

The New Republic wrote, "This [Tom Homan on Fox News] comes after Trump’s Justice Department ordered career prosecutors to drop an ongoing, carefully assembled prosecution of [Mayor Eric] Adams, explicitly because Trump wants that full cooperation on immigration. This clear quid pro quo is triggering resignations at the department, with some prosecutors speaking out powerfully in protest. For Homan to make a big joke out of this on Fox News while blow-dried TV sycophants giggle in the background is the act of someone who doesn’t believe he’ll ever be held accountable for anything." Danielle Sassoon resigned.
 
Sheryl Crow says she has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR.

"My parents always said... you are who you hang out with.
There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth."
 
Elon on move in Congress to impeach Judges.

@ElonMusk

Momentum is growing rapidly to impeach activist judges who repeatedly fail to follow the law.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS MOVE TO IMPEACH "ACTIVISTS" JUDGES

House Republicans are drafting articles of impeachment against judges who blocked key policies of Trump and Elon’s @DOGE.

Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) targets Judge Paul Engelmayer for halting DOGE’s Treasury access, while Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) aims at Judge John McConnell Jr. for pausing federal funding freezes.

Ask Trump's boss how he did it.

Under the amended Article 83 of the Constitution, the president will have the power to submit to the Federation Council, the upper house of the federal legislature, requests to terminate powers of judges of various ranks, among them the chairman, deputy chairman and justices of the Constitutional Court; the chairman, deputy chairpersons and justices of the Supreme Court; and the chairpersons, deputy chairpersons and judges of courts of cassation and courts of appeal.​

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
