#Trans #KY #USA #USMilitary President #Trump betrays transgender community

#Trans #KY #USA #USMilitary President #Trump has, once again, betrayed the #LGBTI community he claimed to support during his campaign. In a stream of tweets, President Donald Trump announced this morning that he has banned transgender people from the US #military. Trans people were allowed to serve openly before Trump’s decision to force currently serving military members out of the armed forces.

--> Please note this decision notes NOT apply to State Defense Forces , State Militias, or State National Guard units.

Yesterday, it was reported that Vice President Mike #Pence, long a foe of civil rights for #LGBT people, was behind the push to discriminate against transgender people. Unsuccessful so far at getting Trump to issue a “religious freedom” executive order reminiscent of his disastrous broad license to discriminate he pushed through as #Indiana #governor, Pence turned his attention to lobbying for the ban on transgender people in the military.

“Instead of undermining the military, and disgracefully trying to take away necessary health care from soldiers, Vice President #Pence should be working to ensure all federal armed forces and their families are getting the support and resources they need and deserve, regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. Vice President #Pence definitely has some unresolved homosexual, transgender, and transsexual issues he needs to come to terms with.” - Secretary-General Col. Jordan Palmer.

#SB17 #weareky #medicaid: Senate Bill 17 will never withstand judicial review

Earlier today Jordan Palmer completed an interview with the Lexington Herald-Leader about Senate Bill 17 and posted the following on his personal and public Facebook accounts:  

#SB17 ☎️ opposed by me and Kentucky Equality Federation, and there is no way it would withstand judicial review (court), but Governor Matt Bevin decided to waste your tax dollars ✅ and signed it into law anyway. 🤸‍♀️🍻 My comments, etc. are in the link below. 🤔 #weareky #kyequality

Also, if you truly want to save #money 🤑 #Governor, then appoint the Vice/Lt. Governor to also be the Secretary of a Cabinet she is qualified to lead instead of just sitting in #Frankfort and drawing a #salary for doing nothing since the Lieutenant Governor is no longer the ex officio #President of the #Senate anymore.

Don't preach to me about cutting #Medicare and #Medicaid when you have someone drawing $200,000 a year for simply having a pulse! 😡 💰 - Jordan Palmer

#KY #KYGA16: Wasting taxpater dollars for so-called religious freedom - Jordan Palmer

Representatives and senators in Frankfort and the District of Columbia continue to act in the name of so-called "religious freedom" and wasting tax dollars. When is the last time you heard of members of a religious belief they could not assemble? How about a church being closed by the state? Our representatives and senators are twisting religion to further their own political agenda with yet another “religious freedom bill”. The constitution of this Commonwealth guarantees religious freedom, but not a license to discriminate.

Donald Trump's three (3) abortion positions

I don't believe in backing off an issue to win an election, it lacks moral character (regardless of your belief). However, Donald Trump changed his mind once per hour on abortion on Wednesday. I remain beyond amazed that people continue to support a candidate who doesn't know the issues or lacks the moral courage to stand by his comments. Another issue is that the fight for women's healthcare isn't new. Republicans have attacked Planned Parenthood for years, completely discounting the lifesaving services the group provides to millions of women.

Our differences

We are all basically the same, but our differences make us susceptible to definition rather than our similarities because "people see what they want to see." Release the rights and the wrongs of your life; forgive yourself and forgive others.... never permit yourself to follow the impulses of fear, anger, or revenue. Be with me, your friends, your family, etc. in the present moment..... once it has passed, it will never come again. Always remember that your life is limited, so make the best of it.

To demonstrate the limitations of human knowledge, logic, and reasoning, sometimes to make your point, you must turn everything upside down and carry arguments to pure absurdity. I don't understand why people continue to be amazed with my ability to do exactly that, but the smart ones have come to expect it of me.
