Biological Truth
On inauguration day, President Trump reversed 78 Biden policies, signed dozens of executive orders & pardons and issued one restoring “biological truth” to the US Government - proclaiming that the U.S. government will recognize only two sexes, male and female.
The executive order states that Federal funds will no longer be used for “gender ideology” or “gender reassignment” surgery or hormones and basically that men should be kept out of women’s sports and women’s bathrooms & dressing rooms. Pretty simple.
“It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.”

The next morning he attended the customary inaugural prayer service - which was framed as one on “unity.” Who organized it? Nobody is saying but my guess is Democrat Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota - she was the head of the inaugural committee planning.
Mariann Edgar Budde, the Episcopal “bishop” of Washington DC, gave the sermon as part of a larger post-Inauguration Day interfaith ceremony at Washington National Cathedral. Budde, 65, is the first woman to serve as the spiritual leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She has been leading the DC diocese since 2011.
Before that, she served as the rector of St John’s Episcopal church in Minneapolis for 18 years. That’s why I think Klobuchar picked her and likely coached her. Because she was a left-wing activist from Minneapolis who marched for George Floyd, while they burned down my city, and hated Trump.
Budde is a liberal LGBTQ activist who flies the rainbow flag and the BLM flag on her church and openly demanded that Trump leave office.
Budde is described on the Episcopal Diocese of Washington website as “an advocate and organizer in support of justice concerns, including racial equity, gun violence prevention, immigration reform, the full inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons, and the care of creation.” Sounds pretty political to me.
In 2020, when Antifa-BLM tried to burn down her DC church - she blamed President Trump - when he was the one that actually called to save it.
On inauguration day, President Trump thanked God for saving his life and said he believed he was spared to help America become great again.
The next day, during her 15-minute sermon, “Bishop” Budde addressed President Trump directly - who was seated in the front row - and mentioned his belief about being saved by God from assassination and then went on to say that gay, lesbian and transgender children were SCARED all across America because of him:
BUDDE: “Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and, as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.
In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on people in this country who are scared now. There are gay and lesbian transgender children among Democratic, Republican and Independent families. Some fear for their lives.
And the people who pick our crops, clean office buildings, labor in poultry farms & meatpacking plants, wash dishes after we eat, work night shifts at hospitals - they may not be citizens or have proper documentation - but most immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues and temples.
I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. That you help those who were fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands. To find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger. For we all want strangers in this land.
May God grant us strength & courage to honor the dignity of every human being. To speak truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God. For the good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen."
What was the response? Not good. Look at their faces.
They weren’t alone.
BEN CARSON: "These are words you would expect to hear from a barista, not a Bishop. She isn’t brave, or strong, or a unifier. She’s another pawn of the left whose Trump Derangement Syndrome has blinded her from truth or reason. She’s an activist. It’s disgraceful on many accounts."
FRANKLIN GRAHAM: "The National Cathedral has fallen into the hands of LGBTQ activists. So, it's not surprising this "lady bishop" spewed hate at Donald Trump today. National Cathedral has become a sanctuary of Satan."
GIORDANA: "Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a lesbian radical woke & DEI activist who believes she is chosen by God to scold President Trump regarding his TRANS policies."
MATT WALSH: "Just take one look at this witch and you know everything you need to know about her, even before she starts talking."
MEGYN KELLY: "Trump & Vance handled it perfectly - total class. This “bishop” who apparently prefers we mutilate children in the name of gender ideology & allow young girls to get gang raped by illegals at our open Southern border, however, is a rude, ignorant, TDS afflicted hack."
SCOTT ADAMS: "Lesbian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde chose to pander to the LGBT whose movement has been wrecked by trans mental illness. She’s the same B who trashed Trump for saving her historical Episcopal church from burning to the ground after Trump hating liberals set it on fire."
CHARLIE KIRK: "Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She's the first woman to hold the position. She was given a great honor today, a chance to unify America around a Christian message at the dawn of a new administration. Instead, she disgraced herself with a lecture you'd hear on CNN or an episode of The View. What an embarrassment."
PAUL SPERRY: "FEC filings reveal Mariann Budde & family have given exclusively to Democrats and collectively contributed several thousand dollars to Kamala, Obama, Biden. While she claims to champion the poor - property records show she lives in a $2 million+ colonial mansion with 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in a leafy DC neighborhood. Her church claims that it receives no operating support from the federal government, but it does get grants from the federally funded nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation. Her family funded George Soros, worked for OBAMA FOR AMERICA and with Jack Smith at the Hague."
ERIC METAXAS: "Exactly WHO is responsible for setting the trap of President Trump attending that ridiculous service to hear the preposterous "bishop" insult him and the American people? Can we get to the bottom of that one ASAP? Seriously. We need answers. Who???"
Like I said - I think it was Klobuchar.
Did the hack Bishop know that Trump danced with the VILLAGE PEOPLE the night before his inauguration? Do they look scared?
BERNIE MORENO: “As a Catholic & legal immigrant, it's outrageous that some woke Bishop would lecture President Trump about deporting illegals. It's an insult to all of us who came to this country the right way. If you don't have borders, then you don't have a country.”
REVEREND LORENZO SEWELL: “She had an opportunity to minister the gospel. Instead of that, she is a heretic. She should never be allowed to preach the message of Jesus in her life because she’s not even talking about Jesus.”

Scott Bessent, Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, an openly gay man, defended Trump and wrote this today:

If confirmed by the Senate, Bessent will be the first openly gay secretary of the Treasury and the highest-ranking LGBTQ official in U.S. history. Does he look scared?
TODD STARNES: “The blasphemous bishop at National Cathedral preached politics from her pagan pulpit. Therefore, National Cathedral should lose its tax exempt status. This is not a Christian church. This is a sanctuary of satan.”
Bishop Budde is so pleased with all her new-found fame that she opened a TikTok account to gloat:

Here’s how President Trump responded:
After she received enormous blowback - Mariann doubled down and went on The View to make her case:

Our tax dollars help fund her nonsense.
ABRAHAM GEORGE: “Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, the first woman to disgrace the position of Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, had the chance of a lifetime today. She was handed the golden opportunity to bring Americans together with a simple Christian message at the start of this new administration. But what does she do? She squanders it!
Instead of delivering something remotely unifying or spiritual, she spews out a political diatribe straight out of CNN or some trashy episode of The View. What a disgrace! She's not fit to lead any church, let alone one with such significance. She's turned what should have been a moment of national unity into just another pathetic soapbox. Absolutely shameful. American people overwhelmingly rejected her ideology on November 5th. Time to move on!”
