(SRN NEWS) – California lawmakers have begun a special session aimed at protecting their liberal agenda from anything President Trump might do during his second term. At the prompting of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, the legislature will first vote to give the state attorney general more funding in anticipation of new federal challenges. Newsom says he wants to protect California’s status as an abortion destination for women from other states. He also wants to make sure that children can continue to get sex-change operations and puberty-blocking drugs.
For the first time in U.S. history, a transgender attorney is arguing before the Supreme Court. Chase Strangio, a woman who is living as a man, is representing families who are fighting a Tennessee law that bars doctors from giving children drugs to help them live as the opposite sex. The justices are not expected to reveal their decision in the case until next summer. Transgender issues have the full attention of a number of courts across the land in lawsuits having to do with sex-change operations and males playing on female sports teams.
The Border Patrol has been hiring chaplains to help with mounting distress suffered by its officers. With immigration at the forefront of the country’s debate, agents wrestle not only with security challenges and an unprecedented surge in illegal immigrants, but also rapidly shifting policies and criticism by liberals. One agent tells the Associate Press “The hardest thing is, people don’t understand what we do — we’ve been called terrible names.” While most chaplains are Christian, Muslims and Jews have also been trained recently.
A growing number of major corporations have opted to abandon the LGBT agenda lately and experts say many more will likely do so now that President Trump is returning to office. Mr. Trump has vowed to take direct aim at so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs through executive orders and other policies that affect private companies, especially federal contractors. But angry complaints from customers got the ball rolling over the past year, with companies such as Lowe’s, Harley-Davidson and Ford all quitting DEI before the election.
