Federal Judge: Gender Ideology Webpages Must Be Restored, Gives President Trump Until Midnight to Comply

President Trump quickly moved to set the U.S. federal government “straight” (pun totally intended) on his very first day in office.

He immediately signed executive orders officially establishing the recognition of two and only two sexes, male and female, by the U.S. federal government.

With the stroke of his pen, President Trump ordered federal agencies to remove “statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology” from their digital and hard copy materials.

And all the sane people said, “Amen”!

But today, a federal judge with a history of capricious and politically motivated corrupt judgements against President Trump struck again.

But he isn’t acting alone — as we have often seen, the judiciary, the media, and the politically motivated ‘woke’ organizations are all working together to weaponize the legal system and pull the wool over the eyes of the American people in one CONSPIRATORIAL COLLUSION.

Federal judge John Bates has ruled that the Trump administration must restore the information scrubbed as a result of the gender ideology executive orders.

Specifically, the information scrubbed from the websites of the CDC, HHS, and FDA must be restored.

But, wait — there’s more!

As an added insult, since judge Bates has already proven he doesn’t respect the constitutional authority of the Presidency, he added a stipulation to his ruling.

President Trump has until midnight tonight — 11:59pm EST to be exact — to comply with the order.

The judgement came in the form of a restraining order granted to the group, Doctors for America, which argued that the removal of the info from the respective sites hampered doctors’ ability to treat and care for their patients, according to a report by CBS News:

U.S. District Judge John Bates agreed to grant a temporary restraining order sought by the group Doctors for America, which argued that its members used the websites when treating patients and conducting research. The nonprofit organization said that the removal of the webpages by the Department of Health and Human Services and its components violated federal law.

“It bears emphasizing who ultimately bears the harm of defendants’ actions: everyday Americans, and most acutely, underprivileged Americans, seeking healthcare,” he wrote. Citing declarations from two doctors filed in the case, Bates said if they “cannot provide these individuals the care they need (and deserve) within the scheduled and often limited time frame, there is a chance that some individuals will not receive treatment, including for severe, life-threatening conditions. The public thus has a strong interest in avoiding these serious injuries to the public health.”

His order directs the agencies to restore earlier versions of their websites by 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. It comes after Bates held a hearing on the matter Monday.

So without gender ideological information included on their websites, Americans are at risk of subpar medical treatment from their doctors — is that what we’re supposed to believe?

That is the argument being made.  But there’s more to this story.

Check out this video report by the NBC affiliate in Atlanta where the CDC is based, and then we’ll get in to what is REALLY happening — the story the mainstream media is purposefully covering over.

Let me be so bold and point out the passive aggressive nature of those federal agencies when it came time for them to comply with the President’s executive orders, in case you haven’t caught on to the game they’re playing.

The President’s executive orders expressly stated that gender ideology was to be stripped from the materials used by federal agencies; nothing more, nothing less.

But the CDC and FDA struck down much more than just the information which fell under that heading, according to the previous referenced CBS article:

Signed on his first day in office, Mr. Trump’s executive order on gender ideology stated that the U.S. recognizes two sexes, male and female, and it directed agencies to remove “all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology.”

Days after the president issued his order, the Office of Personnel Management issued a memorandum ordering all agencies by 5 p.m. on Jan. 31 to take down all websites, social media accounts and other public-facing media “that inculcate or promote gender ideology.” In response to the memo, the CDC and FDA took offline numerous webpages and data sets, including recommendations on how physicians should treat sexually transmitted infections and adult immunization guidance.

While the wording on some websites was adjusted to adhere to Mr. Trump’s directive, allowing them to stay online, other information, like data from the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, was removed completely.

The agency said in a banner on its main website that it was “being modified to comply with President Trump’s executive orders.”

I’m imagining a parent who tells a defiant child to clean his room.

And after much cajoling, the child stomps off to “comply”.

And any parent with a brain knows the moment that child stomped off… “compliance” was the last thing in that kid’s mind.

The child might end up picking up their toys — but a wall would get damaged, something would get broken, or some other action would be taken as a means of poisoning the results for the parent.

And that’s exactly what the CDC, FDA, and other federal agencies did when they “complied” with President Trump’s executive authority.

They took their “compliance” so far as to create the conditions which would justify a federal judge being able to make a valid argument that the information missing from the websites constituted a neglect and breakdown in the health and medical care being espoused by the federal government.

They completely removed entire sections of health and medical information… knowing that wasn’t what the President’s executive order detailed, and knowing that the pretense would then be established to allow a judicial pushback against the President’s constitutional powers as a result.

The problem is obvious — that was not what the executive orders signed by the President instructed those agencies to do.

But why should the “obvious” stop a politically motivated conspiratorial collusion aimed at cutting President Trump’s agenda off at the knees?

But please don’t think I am excusing the judge and laying all the blame at the feet of the federal agencies who took those steps knowing the outcome.

Judge John Bates has been around, and when groups with ‘woke’ or progressive ideologies go judge shopping, Judge John Bates is often the puppy in the window they decide to adopt — and he is more than willing to play his part.

He is the very judge who ordered the reinstatement of DACA (Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals) when President Trump struck down that Obama-era policy during his first term, in 2018.

Was the judge aware of the manipulative way the federal agencies had “complied” with President Trump’s executive orders, and in so doing effectively weaponized the courts against him — once again?

You can bet your bottom dollar he knew — he just didn’t care.

Judge John Bates is more than willing to play an active role in creating legal hurdles for President Trump anytime he exercises the legitimate constitutional authority of the Executive branch.

And so as the media portrays it, the truth of the matter is buried under the oft-repeated line that “Trump Ordered It Removed”, just as The Hill has reported it, among other news outlets:

After holding a hearing Monday, the judge agreed it likely violated a provision requiring agencies to provide adequate notice before terminating significant information products.

“This opinion has documented the harm DFA members have suffered and will continue to suffer absent intervention, but the harm extends beyond them,” Bates, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, wrote in his ruling.

“DFA has also supplied declarations from doctors around the country who, although not DFA members themselves, are representative of the widespread disruption that defendants’ abrupt removal of these critical healthcare materials has caused,” he added.

Federal health agencies were ordered to scrub the data by last Friday after Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office stating that the U.S. willrecognize only two sexes.

Agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration removed various public datasets, like the Drug Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System, the data and statistics webpage for Adolescent and School Health and the webpages for the Social Vulnerability Index.

Several sites focusing on HIV/AIDS were also temporarily taken down as federal employees scrambled to comply with the order.

Health care workers and researchers regularly use the data, leading them to rush to archive the information before the government pulled it down.

Quite literally, any damage done to health care providers’ ability to adequately care for their patients, or leading to a lack of comprehensive information for would-be patients utilizing the federal resources for making decisions impacting their health should be laid directly at the feet of those federal agencies who knowingly remove that information, only to warrant the outcry: “Trump made us do it!”

No, he certainly did not.

Will that be covered in the mainstream media?  Not likely.

And that is how lawfare works.

Lack of public knowledge creates lack of public outcry where there would otherwise be an outcry, and those with a political agenda can weaponize the legal system to help leverage an outcome…

All the while blaming their political enemies for the offense they themselves created.

It is currently just shy of 3 hours until that 11:59pm deadline on the East Coast.

It remains to be seen what will happen if the Trump administration defies the order, or whether they will comply and fight the long game.

This is a developing story, and we will most definitely bring you updates as things develop.
