A Breathtaking First Week

In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do. The scope and speed of his actions are nothing short of breathtaking: Pardoning and commuting over 1000 January 6th prisoners, issuing a slew of executive orders (go to Whitehouse.gov for the current listing), personnel shakeups, and demonstrating real leadership in North Carolina and California to help the victims of flood and fire, ill served by state and federal officials.

The domestic performance is matched by his steps on international matters. Jim Ferguson tweets:

The Fall of Davos? The once-mighty World Economic Forum is crumbling. Reports from #WEF25 in Davos show half-empty halls, with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz addressing a sparse audience. Even the so-called “luxury” callgirl business is down 60% compared to last year. One attendee called it: “The last meeting of the Soviets in 1991.” The veneer of power and influence surrounding Klaus Schwab and his globalist cronies is wearing thin. As their lunatic fringe agendas face mounting scrutiny, it seems the world is finally waking up to their destructive plans. People are turning away from the WEF and its sinister grip on global politics. Is this the beginning of the end for Schwab and his dream of a ‘Great Reset’?

 

Argentina’s Javier Milei accurately describes the new global alliance — and neither France, nor the UK, nor the EU are part of this forward-moving alliance:

Argentina President Javier Milei announced there is a global alliance of anti-woke leaders, including himself and President Donald Trump, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, Elon Musk, Hungary PM Viktor Orban, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump just told the globalists at the World Economic Forum right to their faces that he froze foreign aid, is ending climate change policies/”Green New Deal,” has withdrawn from the Paris Climate Accord, ended the EV mandate, and is rushing to produce more fossil fuels.

He cut funding for the International Criminal Court, which stupidly sought an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu (apparently at the urging of consultant Amal Clooney) under a novel and dishonest definition of genocide. He cut funding of UNRWA, whose sole purpose ever was to abolish Israel and in the process has acted as an arm of Hamas, and has restricted USAID’s channeling of funds to non-governmental agencies not acting in our own best interests. He placed a 90-day freeze on all foreign aid except that going to Israel and Egypt. (Amal and George Clooney seem to have destroyed forever their own reputations on the world stage. He by covering up Biden’s dementia while hitting up his pals for donations and then turning on a dime when the Pelosi coup decided to pull the rug from under Biden.)

There have been so many Trump actions domestically, it is difficult to pick the most significant, and you may have other selections than mine, but these are what strike me as the most meaningful.

Like Steve Hayward, I think the President’s boldest move was revoking President Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246 “that launched our decades-long imposition of de facto racial quotas under the euphemism ‘affirmative action.’” (Hayward offers a clear history of how we got to “the most dishonest legal regime ever imposed, especially since Title VII included, at critics’ insistence, language explicitly prohibiting preferential hiring by race.” Trump has ordered the shutdown of all federal DEI offices and is monitoring the effort to retain them and their personnel under dodges like name changes. Michael Shellenberger has an interesting observation about the silence of the proponents of DEI:
