“Elections have consequences”

Signed,
B.H. Obama.


F the lot of them. The 51 letter signers among a lot other security clearance revoked ASAP. Then investigated. Whoever lied to FISA court ? Investigated and charged if necessary with perjury. That’s just what I can think of while I’m pissed.
Ruin them legally if not financially. They did all the same to our side. Don’t want to be investigated? Do your damn job with honor then.

^^^ I don't know who said what and to whom, but why should any government entity be exempt from review of wasteful spending? That's the purpose of DOGE.

Trump picks Karoline Leavitt to be the face of the White House as press secretary
The 27-year-old will be the youngest White House press secretary in history

By ROB CRILLY, CHIEF U.S. POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
PUBLISHED: 18:33 EST, 15 November 2024 | UPDATED: 18:49 EST, 15 November 2024

Donald Trump announced Friday that 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt will be his White House press secretary as he continues to unveil key staff.

It means the man who will be the oldest president in history at his January inauguration will have the youngest press secretary ever.

'Karoline Leavitt did a phenomenal job as the national press secretary on my historic campaign, and I am pleased to announce she will serve as White House press secretary,' he said.

'Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator.

'I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we, Make America Great Again.'

Insiders told DailyMail.com that there was only ever one choice to be the public face of the White House, despite last minute jockeying by the likes of Trump lawyer Alina Habba.

Leavitt was national press secretary for the Trump campaign and impressed senior advisers with combative appearances on CNN.

'It's her job if she wants it,' was how one insider recently put it.

The role will put her under tremendous scrutiny as she handles televised briefings with the White House press corps, manages day-to-day interactions with a media intent on holding the administration to account, and appearing on TV.

Yet the 27-year-old is already a veteran political operative, having worked in the previous Trump White House, where she was a member of then Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany's team.

And she ran for Congress in 2022.

All before becoming a mom in the summer.

'I had just brought my newborn, my three-day-old baby home from the hospital,' she said in a recent interview with The Conservateur.

'And I said, 'I'm going to turn on the television and watch the rally today.''

The date was Saturday, July 13, and the rally was in Butler, Pennsylvania.

She watched with baby Nicholas in her arms as Trump was shot in the ear, avoiding death by inches

'I looked at my husband and said, 'Looks like I'm going back to work.''

Like many junior members of the press shop, she initially joined the office of presidential correspondence, helping process and reply to incoming mail, after graduating from Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire.

From there she joined the communications team under Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany towards the end of Trump's first term.

When he left office she went to work for high-profile New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, before making her own run for Congress in New Hampshire, the state where she grew up scooping ice cream at her parents' store.

Her effort to become the youngest woman ever elected to Congress fell 15,000 votes short in the 2022 midterms, when an expected red wave failed to materialize.

She was back in the Trump fold within weeks, joining an allied group before linking up with the campaign itself earlier this year, quickly becoming a fixture on television despite being pregnant with her first child.

That did nothing to tame her fiery, bomb-throwing style.

In June, she clashed with CNN presenter Kasie Hunt, who took her off air after they argued about whether the network's journalists could be neutral moderators in the upcoming debate.

Leavitt said the debate would be a 'hostile environment' for Trump, and that moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash had been 'biased' against him in the past.

'Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues,' said Hunt.

After another back and forth, Hunt ended their conversation and the camera cut away abruptly.

Two weeks later Leavitt and her husband Nick became parents to baby Nicholas, little realizing that the election was about to enter its most tumultuous period yet, with the assassination attempt and President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race.

After Trump's victory last week, she promised action from day one.

'The American people delivered a resounding victory for President Trump, and it gives him a mandate to govern as he campaigned, to deliver on the promises that he made, Leavitt said.

'Which include, on day one, launching the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrants that Kamala Harris has allowed into this country.

DOGE may not even have to worry about that one once Pete Hegseth takes over as SecDef. Just listened to his interview with Shawn Ryan today (recorded before the election and before he could have known he was getting the job) and he has a lot of ideas about how to make the VA run more efficiently and provide better service to Veterans in a more timely and accessible manner.

Amazingly, I've never heard her speak. Perhaps that's because I don't watch any of the cable news channels. I'm assuming it's a good pick? And wow she's very young. This has to be the youngest cabinet in recent history for a President.

ETA: Ah yes, i remember this clip. Excellent.

The VA is not under DoD. Doug Collins will be in charge of the VA.

Elon Musk blasts John Bolton as 'staggeringly dumb warmonger' after criticism of Trump AG pick Matt Gaetz
Bolton also opposes President-elect Donald Trump's choice of former Rep Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of national intelligence

By Alex Nitzberg | Fox News
Published November 15, 2024 11:17am EST

Business tycoon Elon Musk excoriated former National Security Adviser John Bolton after Bolton blasted President-elect Donald Trump's decision to tap Matt Gaetz as attorney general.

During an appearance on "Meet the Press NOW," Bolton said the pick "must be the worst nomination for a Cabinet position in American history."

Musk pushed back in a post on X, calling Bolton "a staggeringly dumb warmonger," saying that Bolton's opposition to "someone is a great sign!"

"Gaetz will be great," Musk added.

"Just do the opposite of whatever Bolton recommends," Musk wrote in another post, capping his comment off with the face with tears of joy emoji.

Bolton also called Gaetz "totally incompetent" for the position and described him as "a person of moral turpitude."

"The Senate's new leadership should tell the President-elect that he is endangering Republican Senators by forcing a vote in favor of Gaetz’s nomination. The leadership should insist that this nomination be withdrawn," Bolton declared in a post.

During an appearance on CNN, Bolton indicated that he thinks the Senate should unanimously vote against confirming Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, who Trump tapped to serve as director of national intelligence.

Gaetz "issued his resignation letter effective immediately," House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Wednesday.

Gaetz had just been re-elected last week. He served in the House of Representatives since 2017.

Bolton also shared his scathing criticism of Gaetz on X, but the former lawmaker responded with a joke, writing, "We’ll mark John down as a 'maybe.'"

Bolton has been bitter ever since President Trump wisely fired him back in 2019. LTC Gabbard is a soldier and a patriot. She’ll do just fine as Director of National Intelligence.

Trump Reveals His Dismantling Plans – Democrats Reeling
At a Glance

• Trump plans to reverse numerous Biden executive orders on his first day back in office
• Immigration, education, and cultural policies are primary targets for reversal
• Potential pardons for January 6 protesters and firing of special counsel Jack Smith
• Addressing inflation and combating “wokeness” are key priorities
• Trump aims to reinstate border security measures and launch large-scale deportations

Trump’s Day One Blitzkrieg: Undoing Biden’s Legacy
As the political landscape shifts with the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House, conservatives are eagerly anticipating a sweeping reversal of President Joe Biden’s policies. Trump’s camp has signaled an aggressive approach to dismantling the current administration’s executive orders, mirroring Biden’s own actions upon taking office. This tit-for-tat strategy underscores the increasingly polarized nature of American governance, where each new administration seeks to rapidly undo its predecessor’s work.

The Washington Examiner’s prediction that Trump “will waste no time working to undo the efforts of his predecessor” sets the stage for a dramatic first day in office. Trump’s team is reportedly preparing a barrage of executive actions aimed at reversing Biden’s agenda, particularly in areas such as immigration, education, and cultural issues that have been flashpoints of conservative frustration.

Immigration Overhaul: Securing Borders and Deporting Illegals

One of Trump’s primary focuses is expected to be immigration policy. The former president plans to secure the southern border and launch a large-scale deportation operation, likely reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy. This stands in stark contrast to Biden’s more lenient approach, which conservatives have long criticized as enabling an unchecked flow of illegal immigrants into the country.

“Trump himself has promised, “Many things will be done on day one. Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen.”

This bold declaration from Trump himself suggests that his administration is prepared to hit the ground running, leaving no stone unturned in its mission to reverse what they view as damaging policies implemented by Biden. The promise of head-spinning changes indicates a rapid-fire approach to executive action that could reshape the political landscape overnight.

Tackling “Wokeness” and Defending Traditional Values
Another key area of focus for Trump’s Day One agenda is combating what his supporters perceive as the spread of “wokeness” in American institutions. This includes challenging Biden’s promotion of transgender ideology, especially in women’s sports, and halting the advancement of critical race theory in schools. Trump’s team is signaling a strong push against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which they argue have gone too far and are divisive.

“Biden had claimed executive orders should be limited “unless you’re a dictator.”” – Biden
The irony of Biden’s past statement on executive orders is not lost on conservatives, who point out that he signed 24 executive orders in his first eight days in office. This apparent hypocrisy has fueled Republican determination to use the same tools to rapidly reverse course, highlighting the cyclical nature of executive power in modern American politics.

Economic Recovery and Inflation Fighting
Trump’s agenda also includes a strong focus on addressing the economic challenges facing the nation. With inflation having risen significantly since Biden took office, Trump plans to implement measures aimed at curbing rising prices and stimulating economic growth. This economic focus is likely to resonate with many Americans who have felt the pinch of higher costs for everyday goods and services.

Controversial Moves: Pardons and Personnel Changes
Perhaps some of the most contentious actions on Trump’s Day One agenda are the potential pardons for January 6 protesters and the possible firing of special counsel Jack Smith. These moves would undoubtedly spark intense debate and opposition from Democrats, but they align with Trump’s narrative of challenging what he sees as political persecution.

As Trump’s team prepares for a potential return to power, the stage is set for a dramatic reshaping of the federal government’s priorities and policies. With promises of swift and sweeping changes, conservatives are anticipating a return to the America First agenda that defined Trump’s first term. Whether these ambitious Day One plans can be fully realized remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: When Trump returns to the White House, the Biden era will come to an abrupt and decisive end.
