Zone1 Hegseth announces he’s ending Pentagon involvement in Trump initiative empowering women championed by Ivanka Trump and Rubio

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

So Trump et al, all have a common trait. They only seem to be able to destroy things, not create anything of value or worthwhile for those of us not among the 1%. I'm not even going to get into the psychological aspect of this type of behavior however Trump, Rubio & Ivanka all had a hand in creating this program back in 2017. Now it's being trashed along with the rest of those things that cause so much angst to this administration and Trump's supporters.

In any case, Hegseth pretty much says it all himself when he crows:

“This morning, I proudly ENDED the “Women, Peace & Security” (WPS) program inside the @DeptofDefense. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING,” Hegseth posted.​

​

“WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it. DoD will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute, and fight to end the program for our next budget. GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!”​

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday he was ending the Defense Department’s Women, Peace and Security program, which he termed a “Biden initiative” and that was enacted by President Donald Trump in his first term, championed by his daughter Ivanka Trump and based on a law co-sponsored by Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he was a member of the Senate.​

​

Experts say the move will have significant consequences for women in the military and the US military’s goals abroad.​

​

“WPS is a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists. Politicians fawn over it; troops HATE it. DoD will hereby executive the minimum of WPS required by statute, and fight to end the program for our next budget. GOOD RIDDANCE WPS!”​

​

Hegseth later appeared to back-track, saying in a follow-up post that the initiative “straight-forward & security-focused” in 2017, but was “RUINED” by former President Joe Biden.​

​

Rubio seemed to have a very different view on the program recently, touting his involvement at the International Women of Courage Awards earlier this month.​

​

“President Trump also signed the Women, Peace, and Security Act, a bill that I was very proud to have been a co-sponsor of when I was in the Senate, and it was the first comprehensive law passed in any country in the world – the first law passed by any country anywhere in the world – focused on protecting women and promoting their participation in society,” Rubio said on April 1.​

Women in the military took a hit over a certain female pilot who flew a helicopter directly into a passenger plane.

Do you see a contradiction or has your TDS completely blinded you?

Earn your way like everyone else. Merit should be sole factor in the military

Or in any other endeavor for that matter. Everyone doesn't get a trophy in real life.

This does sound like a bad thing to end;

Technical Difficulties

The problem might be, what the stated goals, and funding are for, might not actually be what it is really about.

Most intelligent folks know that the stated programs in USAID were not what funding actually went towards.


Likewise, the corruption, waste and fraud at the UN is legendary for those who pay attention. A lot of folks just don't want to acknowledge that though.

Can you find the audit of this program, and what the money is spent on?

Seems to be some confusion on who was responsible for this, and what it was actually doing.

Good, I think Ivanka and her husband had way too much progressive influence in the first Trump WH.....There is a reason she is not around much now.
