The Associated Press says the White House barred its reporter from entering an Oval Office event​

That one is so typically Doddering Donnie! He made up a fake name for the Gulf of Mexico, decided to try to make everyone use his made up name by issuing an executive order, then threw a tantrum and banned AP from the Oval Office when they decided not to use the fake name he made up.

Doddering Donnie always acts like a petulant 4-year-old! 😆
 

How the Woke Right Replaced the Woke Left​


One of the defining features of the social-justice orthodoxy that swept through American culture between roughly the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 to Hamas’s assault on Israel in 2023 was the policing of language. Many advocates became obsessed with enforcing syntactical etiquette and banishing certain words.

“Wokeness,” as it’s known, introduced the asymmetrical capitalization of the letter b in Black but not the w in white. It forced Romance languages like Spanish to submit to gender-neutral constructions such as Latinx. It called for the display of pronouns in email signatures and social-media bios. It replaced a slew of traditional words and phrases: People were told to stop saying master bedroom, breastfeeding, manpower, and brown-bag lunch, and to start saying primary bedroom, chestfeeding, workforce, and sack lunch. At the extreme, it designated certain words—such as brave—beyond redemption.

This was often a nuisance and sometimes a trap, causing the perpetual sense that one might inadvertently offend and consequently self-destruct. In certain industries and professions, wrongspeak had tangible consequences. In 2018, Twitter introduced a policy against “dehumanizing language” and posts that “deadnamed” transgender users (or referred to them by their pre-transition names). Those who were judged to have violated the rules could be banned or suspended.

Donald Trump promised that his election would free Americans from ever having to worry about saying the wrong thing again. He even signed an executive order titled “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” But a few weeks into his administration, we hardly find ourselves enjoying a culture of free speech and tolerance for opposing views. Almost immediately, the president did the opposite of what he’d promised and put together his own linguistic proscriptions. Most of the banned words related to gender and diversity, and this time the rules had the force of the government behind them.

“Fear that other words could run afoul of the new edicts led anxious agency officials to come up with lists of potentially problematic words on their own,” wrote Shawn McCreesh in The New York Times. These included: “Equity. Gender. Transgender. Nonbinary. Pregnant people. Assigned male at birth. Antiracist. Trauma. Hate speech. Intersectional. Multicultural. Oppression. Such words were scrubbed from federal websites.”

Plus ça change. The government itself determining the limits of acceptable speech is undeniably far more chilling and pernicious—and potentially unconstitutional—than private actors attempting to do so. But what is most striking about this dismal back-and-forth is how well it demonstrates that the illiberal impulse to dictate what can and cannot be said is always fundamentally the same, whether it appears on the right or the left.

An extraordinary number of conservatives have ignored and even delighted in their side’s astonishing hypocrisy. But a few consistent defenders of free speech have not gone along with what they see as the new “woke right.”

The pervasive and nitpicky control of language is a crucial, but far from the sole, component of the woke-right movement. Like its antithesis on the left, the woke right places identity grievance, ethnic consciousness, and tribal striving at the center of its behavior and thought. One of the best descriptions I can find of it comes from Kevin DeYoung, a pastor and seminary professor, in a 2022 article called “The Rise of Right-Wing Wokeism.” DeYoung, reviewing a book on Christian nationalism in The Gospel Coalition, argues that the book’s “apocalyptic vision—for all of its vitriol toward the secular elites—borrows liberally from the playbook of the left.” It “redefines the nature of oppression as psychological oppression” and tells white and male right-wing Americans that they are the country’s real victims. But “the world is out to get you, and people out there hate you,” DeYoung warns, “is not a message that will ultimately help white men or any other group that considers themselves oppressed.”

Someday we'll look back on this and laugh. At all of it -- particularly, at how the excesses of political correctness were overshadowed by the even more ridiculous excesses of the right. And I'm confident we will be able to laugh -- America remains America, and that limits the kind of fascism that can happen here and its potential for actual atrocities.

At least, the atrocities won't happen here. This administration can and will enable or cause a lot of atrocities abroad.
 
The Trump administration has a big government plan to lower egg prices.

Deficit spending, baby! It’s only bad when Democrats do it.

“The Agriculture Department will invest up to $1 billion to curb this crisis and make eggs affordable again.”

The Agriculture secretary said that $500 million will be allocated to help U.S. poultry producers implement “gold-standard biosecurity measures” with a focus on protective gear and procedures that decrease the risk of contamination.

She added that officials will consider temporarily importing eggs to lower costs.

And relying on foreign trade too. Shouldn’t we be tariffing the shit out of egg imports? 😄 It’s amusing when ideology runs into reality.

As always, the devil is in the details.
  • Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins only said they 'might' use some of the one billion-with-a-b dollar slush fund to import eggs.
  • She also said the USDA will use 40% of their one billion-with-a-b dollar slush fund to reimburse egg producers (primarily Cal-Maine eggs, who sell "Eggsland's Best" eggs) for their losses, so that executive bonuses will not be adversely affected.
  • And of course, the Federal Government will 'pause' California's new 'minimum space requirement' between caged egg layers (which was introduced last year as an attempt to curtail the bird-to-bird spread of disease due to proximity of laying hens). Rollins claimed the spacing requirements would be curtailed because they relied on 'hard science', which runs counter to the new administration guidelines of 'wishing the bad stuff away'.
