Seven Ways Trump Is Taking Back America’s Culture


From Breitbart:
1. Trump announces ban on transgenders in military: Trump’s decision to ban transgender individuals from the military sends a clear message that the U.S. military should be focused on defending the nation and winning decisive battles, not participating in social justice engineering or experimentation. Accepting gender dysphoric individuals in the military – as former President Barack Obama did – and allowing them to undergo gender reassignment surgery and formally change their gender while serving in the military, weakens the ability of the military to focus on defense. A 2016 RAND study estimated that about 3,960 transgender troops currently serve in the active and reserve components, although some say there could be as many as 15,000. 
Delingpole adds that perhaps the most important effect of the ban on transgender individuals in the military is that Trump is taking “a step towards saving Western Civilization.” “He did the right thing,” he writes. “He did the only possible thing for anyone who still believes in truth, justice, social order, common sense, decency, logic – and all the other values which have traditionally underpinned our culture and made us great.”

3. Trump signs executive order that he intends to “vigorously enforce Federal law’s robust protections for religious freedom”: Signed in May, the president’s order also directs the Attorney General of the United States “to guide all agencies in complying with relevant Federal law…interpreting religious liberty protections in Federal law.” Though perhaps just one small step forward in the battle to protect religious liberty, the language still sets the stage for a culture shift. Alveda King, director of Civil Rights for the Unborn for Priests for Life – and the niece of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. – said Trump’s order confirms “the foundational principle of religious freedom, which means that citizens are free to act in accordance with their religious beliefs, not just in church, but in every arena of life.” 
“President Trump has kept another promise to pro-lifers and people of faith with this executive order,” King said. 
4. Trump signs resolution overturning Obama’s Planned Parenthood state funding mandate: The president signed a resolution in April that overturned Obama’s rule – enacted during his last days as president – that forced states to provide family planning grants under Title X to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.  
5. Trump’s nomination of now-Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court:
