Are you denying that "male" accurately describes one who produces the "small reproductive cell?"

Define small.  Because both are small to me.

What about intersex people who can create both reproductive cells?

Well, they need to examine how they were at conception.  Which means every sperm needs to be tracked.

The EO in question removes nothing in regard to workplace protections for anyone. It outlines how the employer (in this case federal agencies) view issues of sexuality and gender.

Trump said there are two genders. As usual, he's an idiot that is completely wrong, talking about something that he has no knowledge of and took no time to research.
There are dozens of intersex variants that are clearly defined morphologically and genetically.

Trump says they don't exist but they are walking around this planet right now. A lot of them are shooting the finger at Trump.

Imagine genuinely believing that the democrats did all they could to secure the border and being shocked that former Border Czar Kamala Harris lost the election.

The 'Trump Effect': Migrant encounters at border ports of entry have dramatically declined since Trump took office on Monday. Imagine that—the Biden-Harris regime had the ability all along to slow or stop the migrant invasion but chose not to, suggesting the crisis may have been intentional. The American people must hold the Democratic Party accountable at the ballot box in future elections for years of chaos.

The EO states that for the purposes of the federal workplace there are two genders.

A person can believe what they want to believe.

They will lose no protections in regard to personhood.

Fact: There are three biological genders.
Fact: Trump is an idiot.

Perhaps Kramer is whining about this tidbit:

"(c)  The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex."

LMMFAO!!!

A manly, hairy, buff person who looks like a man and works for the feds, must now walk into the woman's bathroom and locker room.  Let that sink in.

Couple of things.
1. People were being deported under Biden and I am 100% sure that plane of 80 illegals didn't get planned and filled by Trump and his policies.  That plane was likely planned weeks in advance, it's occupants already decided.  So unless Trump specifically ordered the border patrol to round up 80 random illegals and fly them within a day, all while getting landing clearance from Guatemala in a few days, this wasn't anything Trump did.

2. Isn't there a polar vortex currently making life hell for Texas?  Also, you do realize that migrant encounters can also mean that more people slipped in in other ways.  Or that the encounters aren't being recorded anymore.
Do you have any actual policy changes that would cause this?  Aside from America officially being too shitty for Mexican illegals?

Let that sink in.

Not for the dates presented in Tom's chart.

Also, you do realize that migrant encounters can also mean that more people slipped in in other ways.

Possible, but unlikely. 

Or that the encounters aren't being recorded anymore.

"Just stop recording them, already!"

LOL!

Yeah, 1500 extra persons patrolling the area.

Please fix your post. You quoted Tom twice.

If there's one at the building they're working in, sure.  But probably not.

I mean... Trump has said that on COVID numbers so... Yeah, that's a possibility.

How the fuck did Trump manage to get funding for, hire, and train 1,500 extra people in 1 day?  Or were they on other jobs and he ordered them all to patrol instead of, say... Managing ports?
Huh, maybe that's how he did it.  Instead of 100 lines at a port, there's 6.  Would cut down on migrant encounters at ports of entry.  Also, I just realized, migrant encounters doesn't mean illegals.  It literally means people who want to migrate to the US going into the port of entry.  So that would include legal refugees, asylum seekers, etc...
So honestly, the two most likely reasons are:

1. Not a good day to travel.
2. Less workers at the port.

#2, given, the 1500 extra people in 1 day, is the most likely scenario.


And thanks for letting me know.  Didn't see I quoted twice.

[Lord Dave]

Ok so I did some searching and I can't actually find the data Tom posted.  The earliest the official CBP site has is Late December.  Nothing for January has been posted and certainly not by day.  And the article doesn't say where the data comes from.

So.... Where did it come from?

[Action80]

DoD Statement

I cannot find the exact chart Tom has provided, but maybe it is here.

[Lord Dave]

DoD Statement

Thank you.
So... Does this mean the military made illegals run away?  Or are they patrolling in non-port of entry areas?  Because the article seem to imply they're patrolling but Tom's chart is about migrant encounters AT port of entry, not in the wild.

I cannot find the exact chart Tom has provided, but maybe it is here.

Also, I did look at the CBP.  They don't have data by day, only by month.

Apparently apprehensions have been down 70% since summer due to Biden's work.

"By the numbers:
According to figures from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, apprehensions decreased by more than 70% in the last six months due to executive orders issued in summer 2024 by then-President Joe Biden, along with the Mexican National Guard cracking down on migrants heading to the United States."

[Action80]

Which EO issued by Biden in the year of 2024 resulted in reduced apprehensions?

Research it and see if any of the EO's listed in 2024 address immigration and/or border security.

There are only 19:
EO 14115
EO 14116
EO 14117
EO 14118
EO 14119
EO 14120
EO 14121

That's what I get for trusting Fox news.

It was a Presidential Proclamation.

Here's an interesting tidbit about the law republicans refused to vote on.

Critically, the bipartisan legislative proposal included nearly $20 billion in additional resources for DHS and other departments to implement those new authorities, such as:

(a) over 1,500 new U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel, including Border Patrol agents and CBP officers;

1,500 new agents.  The same number of troops Trump just deployed.  Curious, isn't it?  Why would republicans not vote on a bill that does what Trump, apparently, wanted?

[Action80]

Well, considering the issue, it seems the Congress would have preferred Biden to send the troops (who are already sworn to protect and defend the US, and already have the funding) as Trump did.

Why didn't Biden do this?

Why didn't Biden choose to direct funding to the CBJ instead of Ukraine?
