Trump Signs Executive Order Targeting Anti-Christian Bias in Federal Government
“The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government.”
President Trump signed a new executive order on Wednesday focused on anti-Christian bias in the federal government. The news came after he attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
Trump’s remarks at the event seemed very much in earnest, but there are some people on the left who are already losing their minds over this, naturally. The same people were silent as the Biden administration threw pro-life protesters in prison, and used the FBI to target Catholics as domestic terrorists.
USA Today reports:
Trump signs executive order targeting ‘anti-Christian bias’
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order creating a Justice Department task force to eradicate what he called “anti-Christian bias” within the federal government.
In 2023, a House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government reported that under the pretext of tackling the threat of domestic terrorism, the FBI’s Richmond office described certain “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as violent extremists and “proposed opportunities for the FBI to infiltrate Catholic churches as a form of threat mitigation.”…
The mission of the task force will be to “immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination in the federal government,” including at the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS and other agencies, Trump said in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday.
“In addition, the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society, and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide,” he said.
Here’s part of the text of the order:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:
Section 1. Purpose and Policy. It is the policy of the United States, and the purpose of this order, to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government. The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government.
For that reason, the United States Constitution enshrines the fundamental right to religious liberty in the First Amendment. Federal laws like the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq.), further prohibit government interference with Americans’ rights to exercise their religion. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), prohibits religious discrimination in employment while Federal hate-crime laws prohibit offenses committed due to religious animus.
California Rep. Jared Huffman put out a video yesterday, protesting the very existence of the National Prayer Breakfast and portraying it as if it was a new development, even though this event has been going on for years and was attended by both Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Speaker Johnson’s National Prayer Breakfast is yet another example of MAGA Republicans taking a sledgehammer to the wall between church and state. Walk with me to protest this morning… pic.twitter.com/rGGGqznb8p

The daily moron special. Lol.
Cry harder, Shitlib. Your tears are delicious. Your tantrums give us energy.
It really peeves you, eh? He gets under your skin so easily! Such weakness. It gets worse. Good luck.
I am not yet sick of winning.
And what have you won? Gaza??hahahab
Your President fixing the government and making you cry is winning enough.
Did you see the reply that I posted to you at 12:01?
He doesn’t care. He’s a troll. All he does is insult people. There’s no thought or reason
“The daily moron special”
I don’t really care, Magaret.
“The daily moron special”
Sweet Sister Josephine. You just described yourself.
From now on when tjv makes a comment, I encourage everyone to post: “tjv: the daily moron special”
I assume that comment was directed at Jared Huffman’s moronic “protest” and the deliberate lies he told in support of it.
I had warned you about the repercussions of getting a lobotomy, but, true to arrogant form, you didn’t listen and rejected my advice. Now. you’re reduced to posting semi-literate rants that display your zealotry and fanaticism.
You’re the moron, LOL. Truly. The only moron around here. Your posts exhibit all the intellectual depth of a cretin. Squirrels are more adept at conveying convincing arguments.
You’re a pitiful, one-note mariachi player, plucking the broken strings on a dirty, smelly and cracked guitar.
You drink your Kool-Aid from the poisoned well of appalling and embarrassing stupidity, narcissism, hypocrisy and foolishness.
Look in the mirror and you’ll see a moron for the ages.
You should fashion a dunce cap and wear it wherever you go, to alert passersby as to your incomparable stupidity.
…. Because anti- christian bias is such a huuuuuuuuge problem. We need the ultimate christiian to ‘fix’ it. Such a dumasss cult.
Not a problem at all if you have anti-Christian bias, like many pretenders in the TDS cult that wet their pants at the drop of any EO.
Yes, it’s a problem. You must have heard about the people who have shot up Christian schools and church services. Regarding bias in the gov’t, are you aware of the IRS harrassment of Christian organizations; the FBI’s spying upon Latin-mass Catholics; and the Biden DOJ’s failure to investigate attacks upon organizations that offer alternatives to abortion?
It’s not clear to me what President Trump’s executive order adds to existing laws and policies. A statement of his intent to enforce them might have sufficed. But the bias does exist, as well as the Democrat’s incitement violence against Christians.
What do you think an executive order is? This is a directive to his government that they are to begin enforcing the relevant laws and policies, and to stop ignoring and flouting them as the previous administration required them to do.
If it’s not a problem then why do you care.
“The daily moron special”
Anti-christian bias in government is not a huge problem, but it’s a bigger problem than anti-black and anti-gay bias in government, neither of which exists any longer in any significant measure, and yet both occupy a huge proportion of Democrats’ attention. Not to mention the huge non-issue of “Islamophobia”.
I am sort of against this order.
Not because I am against the idea behind the order, but there are already laws in place that are supposed to protect religions against attacks by the government.
The people who went after Christians and organizations because of their faith, should be investigated, prosecuted, terminated and jailed / fined.
We shouldn’t need an executive order to remind people of the law and the rights of Americans.
It is clear many people in the federal government are defying the law in many different ways, therefore it is necessary for Trump to issue these executive orders in order to put a stop to this law breaking.
Yea . ‘The moron’ in the wh is a convicted felon. You forget that?
“The daily moron special”
I don’t really care, Margaret.
I’m inclined to agree. The post that I made at 12:01 p.m. may interest you.
Doubtful. Concern trolls never add any value.
Concern trolls must periodically rehabilitate themselves in order that their concern rings true. It doesn’t of course, but they must try.
Regular “I Am Colossal Dumbass” trolls like whatshisname above do not, since their mode is sh*t and split. Quite masturbatory.
You are as paranoid as any of the hive-mind liberals at Common Dreams who’ve threatened to dox me for daring to offer a dissenting opinion in their echo chamber.
Did you read the post that I mentioned to gitarcarver? I.e., the one that I made at 12:01 p.m.?
Yep. I read it before posting.
I just wish the order was not needed and that there were hard repercussions for those who attacked Christians according to the law.
I would prefer the laws of the land be followed.
It really is a minor point to some extent. But if the government and its agents don’t follow the law, then why should we as regular citizens follow the law?
To To gitarcarver:
Actually, my question was addressed to NotCoach.
As I wrote to moonmouth, what do you think an executive order is? It’s nothing more than the president’s instructions to his employees on how to do their jobs.
There are laws in place, but under the previous administration government employees were directed to ignore and flout those laws. This order tells them that they are to begin enforcing those laws and taking them seriously. Without the order how do you suppose that was going to happen?
Seems pretty common sense. Don’t mess with people, don’t harass them, don’t discriminate (either For or Against) anyone on the basis of their personal religious beliefs.
In other words, MYOB and leave others alone. What a radical idea!
.
Nothing but pandering to the creepy white christian nationalists. The notion of this shitstain being any kind of moral authority is pathetic. To normal people
“To normal people”
Are you forgetting that throughout the last 4 years, Democrats and their captive media went to great lengths (and expended a lot of resources) to proclaim that being normal is not only shameful, but a danger to democracy?
“Separation of church and state”….. Where does Nancy Pelosi’s “Temple of Democracy” fit into this?
Maryland was founded with strong bonds to Catholisism.
As of 1776…”That no other test or qualification ought to be required, on admission to any office of trust or profit, than such oath of support and fidelity to this State, and such oath of office, as shall be directed by this Convention or the Legislature of this State, and a declaration of a belief in the Christian religion.”
The bulk of misery in the 20th century stemmed from communism, atheism and Asian religions and over the past 1500 year or so, Islam. I guess the Golden Rule is now translated into “to rule is golden”.
The last sentence belongs to the Left as “stroke of the pen, rule of the land…cool”. as by BHO.
Jared Huffman has been a congressman for the past 12 years. He has been perfectly aware of the National Prayer Breakfast for all that time, and has never protested against it until now.
His claim that it is only two years old is therefore an outright deliberate lie. So is his claim that it’s something new for it to be run by the Fellowship Foundation. Actually that organization ran it right up until just a few years ago, when Congress took it over.
The National Prayer Breakfast has been happening every year since 1953, and every president since then has attended it.
