The ‘Speed of Trump’ continues.
The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. CA AG Orders Hospitals to Ignore Trump Order and Sterilize Kids
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has reminded California hospitals and federally-funded healthcare providers of their ongoing obligation under California anti-discrimination law to provide gender affirming care amid confusion resulting from President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directive on freezing or pausing federal funding and his executive order on gender affirming care.
Attorney General Bonta also issued a letter putting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles on notice of its obligations under state anti-discrimination law, following reports the hospital is pausing the initiation of hormonal therapies for all gender affirming care patients under the age of 19 and gender-affirming surgeries on minors.
California law may say whatever it chooses, however, the state’s burden of liability which hospitals face if they continue sterilizing kids, will continue to grow.
Most Americans oppose sterilizing mentally unstable or groomed children in the name of bizarre social theories of gender. Europeans are now backing away from those horrible abuses.
But Bonta is determined to fight and die on the hills of protecting illegal alien criminals and sterilizing kids. And he’s putting hospitals in an impossible position, ordering them to ignore the federal government and do what he says.
These actions will not end well for all involved.
2. Schumer: “They’re in Charge, They Have to Work With Us”
When Republicans control Congress and the White House the Left still threatens government shutdown, expecting Republicans to back down.
Government funding expires on March 14th:
– Republicans will control the House 217-215, which means they will need total unanimity to pass a bill in the chamber, and
– Republicans control the Senate 53-47, which means to overcome the 60-vote threshold needed to bypass the filibuster, they will need votes from the Left.
Some Congressional communists/globalists say they are open to shutting down the federal government in March over the Trump administration’s moves to dismantle government programs and agencies.
The threat of a government shutdown is no longer as frightening as it once was and while Congressional Republicans, especially in the House, remain dysfunctional, the Trump administration is currently calling the shots. And a government shutdown’ may play into his hands.
3. The Nation is Healing and Returning to Its Senses—Super Bowl Crowd Goes Wild for Trump, Boos Taylor Swift
President Trump received massive cheers from the crowd at the Super Bowl and pop star/Leftist nut Taylor Swift was loudly booed.
Trump made history by becoming the first-ever sitting president to attend a Super Bowl game.
When he entered the stadium—to meet briefly with families of the victims of the New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street as well as police officers and emergency workers—he was greeted with cheers from the crowd.
He walked onto the field with daughter Ivanka and son Eric to shake hands with players and local police before the kickoff at the New Orleans Superdome.

Trump posted on Truth Social:
According to the U.S. Mint:
[T]he cost of producing a single penny was nearly 3.7 cents in Fiscal Year 2024, and the coin has cost above face value for 19 consecutive years.
Before 1962, pennies were composed of copper, and are now made mostly of zinc, with some copper plating.
The Treasury Department stated:
President Abraham Lincoln has been featured on the penny since 1909, and the penny was the first coin ever made by the U.S. Mint.
5. President Trump Has FIRED the Military Academy Boards of Nearly ALL Branches
The President explained they have been “infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues” and so he has fired the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard.
This is what he announced:
Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years. I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. We will have the strongest Military in History, and that begins by appointing new individuals to these Boards. We must make the Military Academies GREAT AGAIN!
6. DOGE Team Discovers FEMA Spent $59M Last Week on Luxury Hotels for Illegals in NYC—Violating the Current Law—Musk Vows to Recoup the Funds
According to Musk, sending this money to these high-end hotels violated the law. This directly interferes with President Trump’s executive order.
The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.
Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.
That money is meant for American disaster relief…

And why is FEMA paying for illegal alien housing when they ignore Americans suffering and living in tents in places like North Carolina?
Musk said a clawback demand will be made today to recoup the funds.
Apparently, one of the hotels in question is the Roosevelt in Manhattan.

In January, President Trump created a FEMA Response Council by executive order.
At the time, Trump reported that FEMA has lost mission focus, diverting limited staff and resources to support missions beyond its scope and authority, spending well over a billion dollars to welcome illegal aliens.
7. The Left Launches Counter-Attack Against Trump’s Elon Musk-Led DOGE Audit
Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (C/G-NY) unveiled the communists’/globalists’ plan to prevent federal government agencies from being audited by Trump’s temporary agency, DOGE.
In a letter to the Senate Left, Schumer wrote:
[We] have a responsibility to fight back on behalf of American families as Republicans look the other way in obedience to Donald Trump. And we are.
He explained the plan to fight Musk-led DOGE is four-pronged:
[They intend to] take on the audit through Oversight, Litigation, Legislation, and Communication & Mobilization.
So far:
– oversight by sending hundreds of inquiries [and] a new portal for whistleblowers to report corruption, abuses of power, and threats to public safety;
– litigation [by way of] court challenges ‘are already bearing fruit;’
– legislation of the upcoming government spending deadline next month; and
– working to keep the caucus informed and united to amplify their concerns to the public.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
