John C. Wright's Journal

• Canada just caved to Trump. This is Castro Trudeau’s graceful surrender:

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.

In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.

Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.

One wag on Twitter remarks: “TRANSLATION: Tariffs work, Canada will finally start living up to its responsibilities, Trump was right again, & America was right to re-elect him.”

• From the pen of Donald Trump

This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies.

President Trumps Justice Department has just fired every January 6th federal prosecutors in the DC U.S. Attorney’s office.

• The Department of Agriculture has ordered that ALL references to “climate change” be removed from their website by end of day today (2025/01/31).
• SECDEF Pete Hegseth has officially CANCELED any armed forces support for or recognition of
  • National African American/Black History Month,
  • Women’s History Month,
  • Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month,
  • National Hispanic Heritage Month,
  • National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and
  • National American Indian Heritage Month.
  • Nothing but July 4th, Baby!
• The Department of Justice has just ended their lawsuit against Virginia for removing illegals from the voter rolls. This means that all 50 states can now remove illegals from their voter rolls. Purge them.
• Trump reports that six hostages are coming home from Venezuela.
• The 88 FBI agents who worked on the Trump cases were just  physically escorted out of the Washington Field office. Their security clearances were electronically revoked without warning (blocking computer access to keep files intact as evidence) which negated the badges used to open and close doors, so they had to be walked off site by security.

I am not tired of wining, but, dang, am I having trouble keeping pace.

The CDC’s Chief Information Officer Jason Bonander sent this message to employees: “Pronouns and any other information not permitted in the policy must be removed from CDC/ATSDR employee signatures by 5.p.m. ET on Friday,” he said. “Staff are being asked to alter signature blocks by 5.p.m. ET today (Friday, January 31, 2025) to follow the revised policy.”

This follows in the same spirit as the historical Executive Order from Liberation Day, Jan 20

• Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government

The document reads, in part:

Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being.  The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system.

It is now ten days into the Trump Administration.

• Additional Measures to Combat Anti-Semitism

This measure is grossly misunderstood, as Alt-Right Jew-haters  and other trolls mistake it to be anti First Amendment. In effect, the EO allows the deportation of pro-Hamas student rioters, and restores to Jewish students the same Civil Rights protections currently afforded Blacks and other minorities. Reads in part:

Trump just FIRED 8,980 Active Duty & 5,727 Reserve Troops who identified as Transgender. The United States military now has a lot less mental illness. Don’t worry about shortages: Trump just hired back 8,000 discharged because of the unlawful Wu Han Red Death Flu Jab Mandate.

More winning. Long overdue.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has REVOKED General Mark Milley’s security detail and security clearance.

Hegseth is now planning on DEMOTING the General.

Hegseth also ordered the removal of all Pentagon portraits of Milley

• PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CHEMICAL AND SURGICAL MUTILATION

Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child’s sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation’s history, and it must end.

• REINSTATING SERVICE MEMBERS DISCHARGED UNDER THE MILITARY’S COVID-19 VACCINATION MANDATE

… [T]he Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of Homeland Security, as appropriate, shall take all necessary action permitted by law to:

(a)  make reinstatement available to all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged solely for refusal to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and who request to be reinstated;

(b)  enable those service members reinstated under this section to revert to their former rank and receive full back pay, benefits, bonus payments, or compensation; and

(c)  allow any service members who provide a written and sworn attestation that they voluntarily left the service or allowed their service to lapse according to appropriate procedures, rather than be vaccinated under the vaccine mandate, to return to service with no impact on their service status, rank, or pay.

Not tired of winning, no, but I am getting dizzy trying to keep track.
I am reminded of a scene in THE LAST UNICORN, where the gray-souled and morose King Haggard describes seeing the supernal beauty of a unicorn: “They fill me with joy. The first time I felt it, I thought I was going to die.”
You see, he was not used to joy.
He did not know what it was.
Likewise, for a conservative, having lost every battle, every skirmish, I do not know what victory is.
In politics, I am not used to joy.

Donald Trump posted at 1.28 PM on Social Media:

I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

• • Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
  • A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
  • Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.
  • Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.
  • IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!
Donald Trump Truth Social Post 01:28 PM EST 01/26/25

Less than two hours later, Colombia’s President issued a response to President Trump, folding faster than penniless poker player with a pair of deuces.

“The Colombian Government, under the leadership of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged for the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were to arrive in the country this morning from deportation flights.”

Okay, so I am getting tired. Even keeping a list of bullet points without links to original sources, I cannot keep up.

This is a Blitzkrieg of awesome. Shock and awe!

• Donald Trump signs an executive order allowing deportation of foreign students who express support for Hamas or Hezbollah.
• President Trump Fires 17 Inspectors General in Friday Night Purge. Many of these IGs, who are in a position to identify and clean up waste and abuse, have long histories of whitewashing reports and playing politics. Source: Gateway Pundit.
• President Trump signed an executive order to stop taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or fund elective abortions. The order rescinds the previous executive orders signed by President Puddin’head Biden that were in violation of the Hyde amendment.
• Trump lifts Biden ban on oil pipelines. construction of the Keystone XL can restart. OIL workers celebrating Trump’s victory. Drill, baby, drill. 
• President Trump’s Administration has located nearly 80,000 of the 300,000+ missing migrant children. Which means the Biden Administration could have found them at any time, and chose not to.
