Trump, without makeup, looks damned good for age 70. I might have to change my diet to McDonalds, KFC, and well done steaks!

We really are in amazing times. We won. No matter what happens, no matter how much one may "think" Trump made the wrong choice, it is a sure bet better than the alternative choice. I have been watching the cabinet selections, and while I may have thought of someone else, it really does not matter. Sit back and enjoy the ride. The man isn't successful by accident. Trust his judgement. As I said before, imagine your favorite sports team is in the draft. And you only have first round choices. Is that a bad thing? Hell no! Personally I am hoping for General Mattis as Sec Defense. I don't think it will happen but I can only hope. If not? There is another first rounder out there. Deep breaths...we won


A quote from Chaos:

“You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil,” he said. “You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling.”

I'm digging all these picks so far. They just make sense. Trump said he's going to find the best people and that's what he's doing. Unlike the poser who has be residing in the White House the last year has done. I mean seriously. Susan Rice? Jen Psaki? Josh Earnest? Has there ever been a more incompetent group of people in the history of this planet?

The adults are indeed back in charge.

The MSM is like a deer that has taken an arrow through the heart. It's still running... it will run for a little bit...but it is dead on its feet.

That is such a horrible word-picture that it may live in internet fame long after the NYT has moldered into a leaf pile. Nicely put.

Dr. Ben Carson Accepts Offer to Head Housing and Urban Development

It will be interesting to see what Dr. Carson may do. My message would be, "take the needle out of your arm, get up off your lazy ass, and get a J-O-B". But I'm not smart like him. But he's damn smart enough to initiate some positive policy changes that are opposite of buying votes.

Man I am REALLY liking these President-Elect messages to the American people. Not only do they deliver a good message, they do so without being ran through the blender that is the media. No commentary, no questions, just a simple message. Truely speaking to the people, not at them.

As someone else said, the modern day fireside chat.

+ $19 trillion

I think I can sum what you wrote into a single word, Leader. Someone that has the personality that will influence others to meet his/our goal through purpose, direction, and motivation.

Hey, just Joe. Can I use your heart-shot dear for my sig line for a while, with attribution of course. It's time I dignified-up a bit. 'No' is an acceptable answer of course.

And look now...little punk billionaire Mark Cuban, all in the tank for Hil, is now meeting with Bannon.

What a punk.

Eat crow, loudmouth.

I volunteer to head the task force charged with eviscerating the NFA, the 68 GCA, the Hughes amend. and the skeleton remains of the 94 ban from the books. I'll do it for free. Might need some help tho.

I'll volunteer to help. The hearing protection act or whatever they call it has a great shot along with national CCW reciprocity of getting passed. Those won't scare the sheep to much.

People can say all they want about the picks Trump makes. But remember. He chose, as his most senior advisor, the man who helped deliver him the white house, Steve Bannon. I like Steve. I trust Steve. Trump can pic whoever he wants. Just remember Steve Bannon will be in the background whispering in his ear. And that whisper is powerful.

Chess....not checkers...

Only days before the election Cuban insisted that he'd rather lose every penny he had than have a Donald Trump presidency.

Alright asshole we are waiting

WASHINGTON (AP) — Wilbur Ross, the billionaire investor considered the "king of bankruptcy" for buying beaten-down companies with the potential to deliver profits, is President-elect Donald Trump's choice for Commerce secretary, a senior transition official said.

The official isn't authorized to publicly discuss the matter and requested anonymity.

Reputed by Forbes to be worth nearly $3 billion, Ross would represent the interests of U.S. businesses domestically and abroad as the head at Commerce. His department would be among those tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's stated goal of protecting U.S. workers and challenging decades of globalization that largely benefited multinational corporations.

With a Florida home down the road from Trump's Mar-a-Lago retreat, the 78-year-old Ross played a role in crafting and selling the president-elect's tax-cut and infrastructure plans. Ross has suggested that much of America is disgruntled because the economy has left middle-class workers behind and says Trump represents a shift to a "less politically correct direction."

"Part of the reason why I'm supporting Trump is that I think we need a more radical, new approach to government— at least in the U.S. — from what we've had before," Ross told CNBC in June, referring to Trump's blunt tone and sweeping promises to reinvigorate economic growth.

Despite his embrace of populist rhetoric, Ross has enjoyed a patrician lifestyle. He frequently commutes between his offices in New York and home in Palm Beach, Florida, according to Haute Living magazine. He maintains an art collection worth more than $100 million that includes works by the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte. A graduate of Yale University, he pledged a $10 million to help build its management school.

For 24 years as a banker at Rothschild, Ross developed a lucrative specialty in bankruptcy and corporate restructurings. He founded his own firm, W.L. Ross, in 2000 and earned part of his fortune from investing in troubled factories in the industrial Midwest and in some instances generating profits by limiting worker benefits. That region swung hard for Trump in the election on the promise of more manufacturing jobs from renegotiated trade deals and penalties for factories that outsourced their work abroad.

A specialist in corporate turnarounds, Ross buys distressed or bankrupt companies at steep discounts, then seeks to shave costs and generate profits. Some of those cost reductions have come from altering pay and benefits for workers. Since 2000, his firm has invested in more than 178 companies.

Ross most prominently created four companies through mergers and acquisitions that focused on steel, textiles, autos and coal. In some cases, Ross has sold the companies he packaged to even larger globe-spanning companies. In 2005, he sold the International Steel Group, which included the former Bethlehem Steel, to the Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.

And while his investments appear to have proved generally lucrative, they have also at times brought troubling publicity.

In early 2006, the Sago coal mine owned by Ross exploded, triggering a collapse that killed a dozen miners. Federal safety inspectors in 2005 had cited the West Virginia mine with 208 violations.

Ross said afterward that he knew about the safety violations but that the mine's management had assured him that it was a "safe situation."

"Oh, my God, it's the worst week of my entire life," Ross told ABC News days after the collapse.

If confirmed by the Senate as Commerce secretary, Ross would oversee nearly 47,000 employees and a budget of roughly $8 billion.

Among its responsibilities, the cabinet department provides data on the economy through the Census Bureau and monitors the environment through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

One former Commerce secretary, Donald Evans, noted that a prime responsibility is opening up markets around the world for U.S. companies and workers.

"What you are is ambassador to the world from America," said Evans, who served under President George W. Bush. "It's critically important when you go to other countries that, first and foremost, you care about them, the citizens of their country."

That advice clashes somewhat with the promises made by Trump, who campaigned on the doctrine of putting "America first." The president-elect told voters that Mexico, China and other countries had played U.S. trade negotiators for fools.

"Under a Trump administration, no American citizen will ever again feel that their needs come second to the citizens of for

Wait until he selects Chaos for Sec Def. Tears will flow...

I'm kind of surprised Newt is speaking out against Romney. Well, I'm not because of who Romney is, but he's an adviser in Trump's inner circle, so he must really feel strongly to say something publicly. I hope Trump listens, but Newt is right that it's his call and we support him. He's made a lot of good picks so far.

quote:

Gingrich characterized Romney as Trump’s “most vicious and most explicit opponent all through the campaign on the Republican side” and suggested his loyalty would be to himself, citing his presidential aspirations.

“You have to list out all the things he said and think, ‘Is this guy really gonna be loyal?’ But also, you know, Gov. Romney wanted to be president, not secretary of state, and you have to ask the question: When he goes overseas, is he gonna be the secretary of state for President Trump or is he gonna be Mitt Romney’s own secretary state?” Gingrich asked. “I will support whoever President-elect Trump picks because he has the right, I think as the new president, to build the team he wants to build, but I would suggest there are a lot of other people who are more qualified than Romney in foreign policy and who are also have not been as actively hostile as he’s been.”
