New in PJ Media:
After weeks of defiance of President Trump’s Feb. 5 executive order banning men from participating in women’s sports, the University of Maine System (UMS) gave in on Wednesday: the Department of Agriculture now affirms that Maine’s universities are now in “full compliance” with the executive order. That’s a refreshing blow for sanity, but President Trump made it clear in a Saturday message on Truth Social that he was not satisfied:
While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House Governor’s Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases. Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled. I’m sure she will be able to do that quite easily. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! DJT
Trump was referring to the fact that Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D-Of Course) defied him openly not long after he issued the executive order, telling him at a governors’ meeting: “We’ll see you in court.” Trump shot back: “I look forward to it.” The legal battle, however, didn’t come to pass; Maine caved first. So why is Trump continuing to pursue this and demanding an apology from Mills? Isn’t his victory enough?
Actually, Trump makes an important point. It would be good and useful to have “a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again.” The Democrat political elites are doing their best to portray Trump as a lawless dictator-in-the-making who is busy destroying what they hypocritically and erroneously persist in calling “our democracy.” Yet as is so often the case with such charges, they are indulging in the old tactic of accusing their enemies of what they themselves are guilty of doing.
It isn’t Trump who is defying lawful authority and ignoring established procedure. It isn’t Trump who is trying to subject the authority of the executive branch of our government to the whims of judicial tyrants who are abusing the principle of judicial review and ruling in a ferociously partisan manner in order to stop Trump from being able to implement his agenda. It isn’t Trump who corrupted and politicized the entire Justice Department in order to frame his principal opponent for a series of crimes he didn’t commit, so as to end his challenge in the courts before Americans had a chance to go to the ballot box.
There is more. Read the rest here.

To me, the payback was Pres. Trump wiping the arrogant smirk off of Mill’s face…

Yes it is very important that Gov Mills (D) give a personal apology and eat some Crow for what she knowingly did. If she doesnt apologize, then she is politically dead in the water and she knows it.

I fully agree w/ the president. Democrats are neither graceful winners nor sporting losers. That’s why he needs to rub it in – Janet Mill’s nose on this issue
Also, these schools capitulated b’cos they don’t wanna lose their federal funding. But they’ll have to lose it anyway, since Education is being restored to the states, and the Federal government has no business funding them in the first place, even if they were doing the right things. In case of Maine, they’ll get back more control over their schools, which means that Mills will get to resume her LGBTQ+ policies. So the White House needs to be unrelenting while dealing w/ her ilk

If she was a decent human being then she would apologize but that’s not the case but Trump did tell her more or less that her political career is finished..
