Excerpts:
"ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES(HHS) WOULD COME FORTH WITH A FINAL VERSION OF ITS NEW REGULATION OF FEDERAL GRANTS, BROUGHT FORTH AFTER MONTHS AND YEARS OF WORK. THE PURPOSE WAS TO PROTECT, ON MANY FRONTS, THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM THAT WAS SWEPT ASIDE BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AS A MATTER OF NO IMPORT...
CONGRESS HAD NEVER PASSED ANY STATUTE TO FORBID DISCRIMINATION BASED ON "SEXUAL ORIENTATION," AND YET THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT IN PLACE THE REGULATIONS THAT WOULD BAR FEDERAL GRANTS TO ANY INSTITUTIONAL THAT BORE MORAL RESERVATION ABOUT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, TRANSGENDERISM, AND ABORTION.
BUT THE NEW REGULATION WAS PART OF A CORPUS OF OTHER MEASURES, EMANATING FROM HHS IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, TO SHORE UP PROTECTION OF "CONSCIENCE" FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO DID NOT WISH TO BE COMMANDEERED TO PERFORM OR SUPPORT ABORTIONS. THIS NEW REGULATION WAS THE WORK OF YOUNG LAWYERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, STRONGLY PRO-LIFE, WHO WORKED WITH DEDICATION. THIS TOO MAY NOW BE SWEPT ASIDE BY A NEW ADMINISTRATION TO WIPE AWAY ANY TRACES OF THE WORKS OF DONALD TRUMP.
WE HAD HERE AN ADMINISTRATION DOING MANY GOOD THINGS, AT MANY LEVELS, BY PEOPLE WHO HAD FORMED WITH DEDICATIONS AND CULTIVATED THEIR COMPETENCIES LONG BEFORE THE ADVENT OF TRUMP. AND THE IRONY WAS THAT AT THE TOP OF ALL OF THIS WAS A MAN WHO COULD NOT SPEAK IN SENTENCE, OR EXPLAIN THE RATIONALS BEHIND SO MANY OF HIS POLICIES THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION WAS PUTTING IN PLACE. [MAYBE]
STILL THOSE THINGS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE IF HE HAD NOT TOUCHED SOMETHING IN A LARGE PORTION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, A SENSE THAT THE GOVERNING POLITICAL CLASS WAS INSENSITIVE TO THE PEOPLE THEY WERE PLEASED TO RULE...
THERE WAS THE WAVE OF DEREGULATION THAT SPURRED THE ECONOMY, PRODUCING THE LOWEST LEVEL OF UNEMPLOYMENT RECORDED FOR BLACK PEOPLE; SCALING BACK OF TAXES; THE SUPPORT FOR FRACKING, THE APPROVAL OF DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC; THE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE DISASTROUS PARIS ACCORDS AND THE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN; THE RECOGNITION OF JERUSALEM AS THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL, BUT THEN EVEN MORE, RECOGNIZING THAT THE KEY TO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST WOULD NOT LAY IN TREATING THE PALESTINIANS AS THE CENTER OF THE PROBLEM. TRUMP COULD INSTEAD FOSTER TIES BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE GULF STATES, , AND BEGIN TO FORM NEW STRUCTURE TO SUSTAIN NEW TIES OF INVESTMENT.
TRUMP ON HIS OWN, COULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN THE FINE JUDGES SELECTED SO CAREFULLY BY THE YOUNG LAWYERS IN THE OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL AND THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. NOR COULD HE SUPPLY THE SCHEME FOR ROLLING BACK REGULATIONS AND TAXES. BUT THE DECISIONS ON IRAN AND ISRAEL AND THE PARIS ACCORDS CAME FROM HIS OWN GUT.
IT WAS REMARKABLE AS TO HOW MANY EDUCATED PEOPLE HAD TROUBLE THAT WHEN SOME OF US WERE WILLING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP EVEN AS WE RECOILED FROM HIS SENSIBILITIES, IT WAS BECAUSE WE WERE MAKING A CHOICE OF ADMINISTRATIONS: WE WANTED TO PUT IN PLACE A MORAL PERSPECTIVES AND POLICIES THAT HAD BEEN SHAPED OVER THE YEARS IN THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY.
I COULD UNDERSTAND THE AVERSION TO TRUMP, BUT I COULDN'T SEE HOW ONE COULD VOTE FOR THE PARTY OF THE LEFT NOW WITHOUT ABSORBING THE SENSE THAT THE KILLING OF 860,000 SMALL HUMANS IN ABORTION EVERY YEAR WAS SOMETHING NOT EVEN WORTH THINKING ABOUT ANY LONGER.
TRUMP HAD RISEN IN THE WORLD WITH A SENSE OF WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE, IN QUEENS OR PEORIA, WOULD FIND DAZZLING. IT WAS NOT SURPRISING THAT HE HAD A SENSE OF WHAT PEOPLE IN THE BROAD PUBLIC CARED ABOUT WITH A PASSION PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN..."

Tentatively, the next HHS leader will be Catholic-in-name-only politician Xavier Becerra.
Do you know who the Pro-Life Party in the U.S.A. is? Yes, the Conservative Republican Party.
