President Biden, the man who promised to govern by consensus, having both the House and Senate under Democratic control, has already issued nearly 60 executive orders and actions, more than any other president in U.S. history.
It is my opinion that some of these “signings” can only be classified as dehumanizing, sinful and treasonous.
On Jan. 20, his administration froze President Trump’s Executive Order on Access to Affordable Life-Saving Medications that was to go into effect Jan. 22, and would have lowered the cost of insulin, epinephrine and other prescription drugs and which the pharmaceutical industry had opposed.
He revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline and issued a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other federal lands. Thousands of good-paying union jobs were lost overnight.
His Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation is a punch in the face to all young women who want to participate in sports on an equal footing with their peers.
He issued a memorandum to “ensure that regulatory review serves as a tool to affirmatively promote regulations” rather than discourage them.
Other actions put an end to border wall construction; revoked Trump’s order to streamline federal workforce; reversed Trump’s transgender military ban; banned the use of the term “China virus”; made climate change the focus of national security; revoked a regulation that prohibited U.S. foreign aid to be used for abortions; and expanded “protection of LGBTQ people around the world.”
