“It can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after so-called transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics,” the White House document about Trump’s new trans military order states. “In this time, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and continue to require consistent medical care. This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.”\n\nThe document alleges that Biden’s order undoing Trump’s last restriction on trans people serving in the military ordered the Department of Defense to “pay for service members’ transition surgeries, as well as those of their dependent children — at a cost of millions of dollars to the American taxpayer.”

Mexico needs too go after cartels with the us take there money and business use that the build your economy the government there is the problem

This is funny, business using illegal workers go figure.

Those poor children used as means to cross.

Irregular migration, great use of language. It’s actually an illegal immigrant.

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

1) The press secretary wearing that large, shiny cross. I wonder if she would have been so fervent in her statements if Jesus was present in that room. Or, is that big shiny cross just Bling?\n2) Hegseth is Trumps lap dog, in regards to the use of the military. I would not be surprised to see the potential use of armed, and with police powers, military assets being used inside the US, not just securing the border.

We got generals who can’t decide what bathroom to use but think they can win on the battlefield… ok buddy

Pay Attention to the Words DW uses to promote their agenda. They use the word Irregular Migration which is a diluted version of what is real. This is an Illegal migration in America of well over 10 million. Pay attention to who attempts to dissuade you in reporting and who is behind it

These are not just US immigrants. They are illegal immigrants. Use the right terminology in your headline.

Anchor should have corrected the reporter, *do you mean Pres. Trump?* Biden is long gone, coward, frail, above all, *indecisive as Senator Mitch McConnell characterized was correct, despicable coward, and banning any liquid gold by obstructing our resources there to use and keep gas price below, what a buffoon Biden(!) was n goodbye forever!

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

Note: Most of the speakers don't speak English in a country where English is the official language or least it used to be.

Had to drop by The failing news network CNN to see how you all are holding up. LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA It is exactly how I expected! Get used to the Trump train people. Daddy T is home kids and I can see a lot of conflict and sad sour faces here. Guys Its time to MAGA!!!!!!!!!! MAGA MAGA MAGA!

Why didn't the border patrol use their firearms?

Why are women's rights never part of this discussion. Do these men who pretend to be women use separate facilities or are women forced to accommodate them in what should be women-only spaces just to name one important issue.

No no no. Trump never used the words IRREGULAR migration. This is why the AFD is on the rise. It's thanks to news outlets like you, afraid to say the truth, that Trump was talking about illegals.\n\n4:56 Oh, no, poor illegals will have to live in fear. DW is a joke, this is fuels the far right, this kind if journalism got Trump elected too. The people had enough of this brave new world you are pushing

Why US use Chains in minors expulsed from US?

Use any means to keep them out.

He can serve if he corrects the false sex information on all his documents and repays all the free unnecessary surgeries and medications he used for his delusions.

Ain't no surprise here ppl act they don't remember when blk ppl like myself were not accepted are given equal rights in the military world ?????? America is a trip when I say trip I mean some real ??, acting all surprised now as black people we've been had to get used to this being treated like third class citizens but I got some kleenexes for you cry babies?

Your average soldier is not going to respect a leader or want to follow a leader who used to be a man and is now a woman and Vice, versa! I agree with Trump and Crenshaw even though I don't Crenshaw. There is no room in the military for this BS. I served 10 years and this BS is nothing more than a huge distraction. You have people who were going in just to get the operations. They spend 4 years in the military changing gender on tax payers dime. Out of the whole 4 years they may be deployable for about 6 months and that ain't all at the same time. When I was in this stuff was not an issue! They were not allowed to join and neither were gays.\n\n Think about it everyone is so bent out of shape over sexual assault well if you take a couple of gay guys and put them in an infantry unit they are going to look at all those men the same way a straight guy would look at all the girls if he was dropped off in an all girls collage. Nothing but problems and issues the military doesn't need!!! Seen it first hand back then when it was not allowed. Incase no one noticed military recruitment is down to dangerous levels! Doesn't anyone wonder why??? This post is why. No one wants to be part of a wishy washy military. It's to easy to get hurt or killed when things are running normal! Throw all the gay and trans BS in there and it just F**ks up everything!\n\nSo for 4 years they are almost always on lite duty, they are getting paid and getting the operations then at the end of their enlistment they walk out of the military the opposite sex they came in with and the American taxpayer is hundreds of thousands of dollars down for every one of these fools!!! This is what the democrats did!!! Join the Army and change your sex on us!!!\nNo place in the military for these fools. I feel that anyone who wants to change their sex is mentally ill!!! I have no desire to change into a woman and if I did I would think something was wrong with me and go get help!!!

Can we also get rid of the use of the re-tar-ded (they/them) pronouns?

The media just can’t help itself…it has to lie…using a 10 year old survey by UCLA for the “15,000 transgenders” number when a more recent study done in 2021 shows only 1900 individuals received any care related to being transgender through the DOD and a January 2024 estimate by the RAND Corporation estimated 1320 to 6630 transgenders serving. And the overwhelming Amorite are support roles, not combat or front line. And yes, I’m a veteran.

Use me as trans people make you sick button.

Make America Great Again \nGet used to seeing it on a daily basis... MAGA

Not right. They are using violence to get into US

All that strength and anger they had to used to take Maduro out

Why do we spend trillions on weapons if we are not going to use them

Nope, not what am saying, he was a pretty bad man in the early days, was chastised by rest of the world and rightly so, soon as he started giving sweet deals to these politicians around the globe , they turned a blind eye and was guiding him to reform. When in the latter days he was finding his moral compass and wanted to cut off the leaches that’s when he became a big problem and thus his downfall was engineered using their well established play book.

Poland warned them they're going to use live bullets. They've targeted Poland. So maybe America needs to take a tougher stand now. This is a forceful invasion - i.e. war.

They need to stay in their own countries!! Use force if needed!

Let the countries of those immigrants use their own planes to take their people back. If they still don't take them back on time, then there will be a tax measure.

Why are we seeing this that's an easy question to answer can you say Joe Biden Kamala Harris put the blame where it belongs now what do you think North Korea would have done if they had tried that there what do you think China would have done if they had tried that there or Russia I see no reason in the world why we can't do the same thing That's an invasion our country is being invaded or people are being attacked allow them to defend our country and allow them to defend themselves using any means necessary

Mexicans and Venezuelans are enemies of the United States. Treat them as foreign hostiles. Poland has approved the use of deadly force. I think we should too. Keep America Safe

Trump is using Cockroach spray

CNN: \n\nThese are migrants. Not illegal immigrants. That’s how CNN will call it from now on.\n\nColombia and USA used to have great relationship with agricultural benefits.\n\nThe price of many goods like coffee will rise. \n\nWork force is now adversely affected.\n\nTrump misspelled Colombia into Columbia.\n\nThe inhumane treatment by the government will leave a bad impression on USA people and everyone around the world.

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

Good someone finally stopping us from being used.

Why can't they use that energy to revolt in their own country and have a revolution? Make their own country great.

They have been encouraged to do this by the horrific Biden administration and the crazy Democrats. They have used these poor people for their own ends with no regard for the terrible consequences. This is squarely on the Democrats shoulders. ??

Get your facts straight, Colombia President accepted their illegal migrants. In a matter of a few hours. Not only that, the Colombian President even offered Trump his own plane to come and pick these illegals up. If you are going to report news get all the facts straight! No wonder you are losing viewers and 90 percent of Americans don’t use this channel as their source of information. You purposely leave out important information to create rhetoric and upset the other 10 percent that unfortunately still watches your fake news.

parents using children as shields?

This showed that Trump is not playing with these people or the presidents. The fact the 2 aircraft took those immigrants to Colombia and were refused landing, is retarded. Then instead of letting the planes land drop off the criminals and leave. They didn't let the US planes land. They said they would send their own country's planes to pick up the criminals. What Trump should do is charge Columbia for the fuel the US military used, and charge them for the US pilots' time. Double time and a half pay for waisting the US time and a waisted flight.

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

I had to use heavy military mittens to handle that razor wire in the Army, but those violent and dangerous illegal migrants handled it in no time as if it was made of Nerf foam.

All these comments talking about why can't these people fix their own country are the descendants of the people that stole this country and then used slaves to build it.??‍♂️

So you guys do know that these produce he tariffs on hurts Americans because all of the produce we use are mainly from Latin America

Any and every country in the world would be using deadly force towards these lunatics!\nYOU CANNOT STORM A COUNTRY AND FORCE YOURSELVES INTO A COUNTRY PERIOD!!!

Man coming to America, man we are FULL UP in America. SOCIAL SECURITY going broke.Tell your Politicians to use the money to build their country
