It is embarrassing to watch those media monkeys. They themselves are not embarrassed only because all of them put together do not have an ounce of integrity.

Byron York has an illuminating column about the choice of Hegseth. It addresses the concern I brought up earlier about the SecDef's job of managing an $848 billion a year business. He mentions it, but then bows to Trump's primary need to "de-woke" the military.

quote:
So now, Trump is proposing a radical change at the top of the civilian leadership of the military. It could be a breakthrough success, rebalancing the military as a fighting force above all else. Or it could be a failure, and everyone will be asking what Trump was thinking when he put Pete Hegseth in charge of an $841 billion bureaucracy. But if voters sent any message in the election, it is that they want a change from the Biden administration and that they approve, in a big-picture sense, of Trump’s leadership in his first time in office. So now, Trump is, as promised, bringing change.

I'm deeply disappointed that Thune was appointed. I just hope he faces enough pressure to not turn into McConnell 2.0. On the other hand, thank God that worthless Cornyn didn't get it. I've written to him so many times over the years, and all I've ever gotten were canned responses and stupid excuses.

First South Dakota supplied Tom Daschle and now John Thune as senate majority leaders.
From my knothole they're too close for comfort and both a blot on the State I live in.

Tulsi will be the new DNI. Sounds like a good fit.

Tulsi for DNI is a good move. I wanted to see her in a place where she could affect some real change, and she can absolutely do some good there.

Regarding the swamp critters panicking about the cabinet picks: Good. I hope they’re shitting their pants. That’s precisely one of the major reasons why I voted to send Trump to the White House.

In 2016, when it was headed by since-ousted leader Jeff Zucker, it was the most watched network overall - a distinction that's now held by Fox News.

At the time, CNN had averaged 13.3million viewers in primetime. Today, it's only around 800,000.

I want Trump to give ZERO press conferences to the leftist media. Instead reshuffle the deck and do podcasts, X appearances, etc. and speak directly to The People w/o PRAVDA interference. Musk should make that a priority as part of DOGE.

Part of CNN's decline quickly in viewers may be due to D voters tuning it out to get away from political news and of course hearing "Donald J Trump has been elected in a sweeping mandate of both the popular vote and electoral college" no wait CNN doesn't say that do they?

Not dissimilar to the loss of viewers FOX had once reporting AZ lost with 1% of the vote in back in 2020....

Plus they generally suck...

I am absolutely not a Matt Gaetz fan. Fox reports he's nominated for AG.
Trump needs a prominent attorney with a sterling reputation--Gaetz is neither.

If airports and employee break rooms quit playing CNN then viewership would be even lower.

Ouch.

ETA: Cautiously optimistic. I was, though, really hoping that Matt Whitaker would get the job.

"Sen. Jim Thune.

A lot of people don't like Thune, and I get it. However, we're not looking at all the reasons why someone might like or dislike a candidate. We're looking at one specific issue, and on guns, Thune has the most solid credentials of the three. He voted against the BSCA and has voted against other gun control measures while voting for pro-gun legislation.

I can't tell anyone how to vote in the Senate, but on the issue of guns, there's not really a choice here."

Come on, man. You're joking. The AG certainly does not need to be either.

Of all Trump's cabinet secretaries, this is the one that will need to appear to be apolitical if there is to be any hope of unifying the country.
Gaetz is an opportunistic firebrand in my opinion.
Well, we'll see.
I had read earlier it would be Matt Whitacre, and that would be great.
Gaetz is still under an ethics investigation. Ask Kevin McCarthy about that.

I have zero problems with Gaetz as A.G. None. He is 100% MAGA and will conform to the Trump mandate.

And it is official- Marco Rubio has been chosen by Trump as Sec. of State.

Regarding Matt Gaetz, a few points:
  • Number 1, he's loyal to President Trump
  • Sometimes you need a radical for radical change to occur and changing the DOJ needs more than a distinguished attorney. We've already experienced this disappointing AGs.
  • Burn it down
