===Racist origins of Trump's impeachment===
The only precedent for the second [[impeachment]] of [[President Donald J. Trump]] was that of William W. Belknap, President [[Ulysses S. Grant]]’s Secretary of War during [[Reconstruction]], who was tried and acquitted by the [[U.S. Senate]] after resigning from office. An investigation into the War Department was launched. Under Belknap the [[U.S. Army]] was used in combination with the [[Justice Department]] to prosecute the [[Ku Klux Klan]], a policy opposed by most [[Democrat]]s.<ref>https://brewminate.com/the-life-of-william-w-belknap-impeached-post-resignation-in-1876/</ref> Senate Democrat Majority leader [[Chuck Schumer]] said, “The Senate convened a trial, and voted, as a chamber, that Mr. Belknap could be tried ‘for acts done as Secretary of War, notwithstanding his resignation of said office.’ The language is crystal clear, without any ambiguity,” quoting a resolution by Senator [[Allen Thurman]], who opposed President [[Abraham Lincoln]]’s [[Emancipation Proclamation]] and campaigned against allowing black people to vote.<ref>[https://www.jewishpress.com/blogs/sultan-knish/the-racist-origins-of-president-trumps-impeachment/2021/02/22/ The Racist Origins of President Trump’s Impeachment], By Daniel Greenfield - 10 Adar 5781 – February 22, 2021. www.jewishpress.com</ref>

===Transgenderism===
The so-called [[Equality Act]] is a bill that would eliminate the legal recognition of male and female sex, cater to gender ideology, and designate protection for the unborn as “pregnancy” discrimination. The legislation, which would rewrite civil rights law to include “sexual orientation and [[gender identity]]” as protected classes, would likely upend the national culture as Americans have known it. Ryan Anderson, president of Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) said, “The so-called Equality Act isn’t drafted as a shield to protect vulnerable minorities from unjust discrimination, but as a sword to persecute those who do not embrace new sexual and gender ideologies.”<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/19/jjoe-bidens-war-on-women-equality-act-to-end-legal-recognition-of-biological-sex/</ref>
