Over the past four years, the U.S. military has gone incredibly woke. This has endangered the lives of millions of Americans, as it’s left us more vulnerable to attack than ever before.
Thankfully, now that Republicans have taken back the presidency, the House, and the Senate, that is all about to change. On Wednesday, the House passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This bill includes language that will stop taxpayer funds from being used to pay for transgender procedures that could lead to children being sterilized.
The bill passed by a 281 to 140 vote that authorized nearly $900 billion in spending. This legislation is being hailed as a huge step to de-woke the military as soon as possible.
From Daily Wire:
Section 708 of the NDAA states that “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization may not be provided to a child under the age of 18.”Democrats and left-wing activists have argued that transgender procedures for children are “life-saving” and prevent kids from committing suicide. Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, have vehemently pushed back against these claims, pointing out that these procedures can sterilize children, and argue that the military’s goal is to defend the United States, not to transition children.
“Today’s NDAA is a step toward restoring our armed forces by rejecting the woke agenda and refocusing on military readiness,” said Rep. Michael Cloud of Texas. “This bill bans TRICARE coverage for sex-change surgeries for minors, authorizes National Guard deployments to secure our southern border, and provides a 19.5% pay raise for junior enlisted personnel.”
Cloud went on to say that this bill will help “fully restore our military’s focus on strength and readiness and completely end the woke agenda across the federal government.”
The bill received bipartisan support, with 200 Republicans and 81 Democrats voting in favor of it. Meanwhile, 124 Democrats and 16 Republicans voted against it.
Mike Johnson Sounds Off
House Speaker Mike Johnson praised the bill for fighting against “radical gender ideology.”
“Taxpayer dollars should never be used to support procedures and treatments that could permanently harm and sterilize young people,” Johnson stated over the weekend. “In this year’s NDAA, we’re taking a critical and necessary step to protect the children of American service members from radical gender ideology and experimental drugs.”
Johnson went on to send a message to woke liberals, letting them know that this is only the beginning.
“House Republicans will continue to take action to protect America’s kids,” he said.
Liberals have been on a mission in recent years to make it easier than ever for children to get transgender surgical procedures that could alter their lives forever. Indeed, many of these procedures have irreversible side effects that can impact children for life.
Minors are too young to drink alcohol and get tattoos in this country. Also, they shouldn’t be allowed to undergo transgender surgical procedures until they are legal adults. Period. End of story.
We’re glad that Congress is making it a high priority to fight wokeness both inside and outside the military. In the end, eliminating wokeness once and for all will only help make America great again!
